If We Cannot Grow Old Together

Proofread by Zhou Zhijie

What does “Pudding disappeared” mean?!

Mu Ziyou doesn’t have time to chat with Xia Zhiguo any more. After seeing him off, she changes her clothes and takes a taxi heading straight to Qin Yang’s residence— which was hers, too.

Pudding’s nanny told Mu Ziyou that she took little Pudding in his stroller to the park for some fresh air. There were some other mothers with their babies bathing in the sunshine, so she came forward and chatted with them. When a woman’s five-year-old daughter adored Pudding so much that she requested to have fun with him nearby, she agreed.

Unexpectedly, after the little girl came back with some flowers for Pudding, the baby together with the stroller had disappeared!

Thinking of the many baby traffickers these years, the nanny deems simply that Pudding was taken away by such people. She blames herself for Pudding’s missing and is about to kneel down for Mu Ziyou’s forgiveness.

Mu Ziyou is clear that she isn’t the only one to blame for this. The most important thing for now is to locate Pudding’s whereabouts. Qin Yang had wasted no time in calling the police. Mu Ziyou can’t just sit at home waiting, so she hurries to the place where the accident happened, trying to check the surveillance or inquiring passersby about the witness of her baby.

However, mothers with children were so many in this park that no one noticed anything abnormal. Mu Ziyou busies herself in the park for half a day, but not a single clue is found out.

In the surrounding areas where Pudding last appeared, she finds no surveillance cameras at all…

Mu Ziyou feels like that half of the sky had collapsed!

What’s the point of her living in this world without Pudding?

When Mu Ziyou doesn’t know what to do, her phone rings again. Without looking at the number on the phone, she picks it up and asks subconsciously, “How’s it going? Any news about Pudding’s whereabouts?”

“Pudding… What’s wrong?” There comes Li Qiaosheng’s deep and magnetic voice, with a sense of concern.

On hearing his voice, Mu Ziyou seems to have clutched the last straw. “Qiaosheng, I know you know a lot of people. Pudding is missing! He’s probably been taken away by the human traffickers! Could you please help me… help me find him. Please!” She splashes out in such a hurry that she has totally forgotten how alienated they has been before.

“OK. Don’t worry. Tell me all of the details. I will help you.”

Hearing that Pudding is missing, Li Qiaosheng feels a harsh pain from inside, as if his own son had been abducted!

Mu sobs while talking. It takes her some time to make the whole thing clear to Li. Li is relatively calm. “Well, do you have a clear picture of Pudding? Send it to me. And any typical features of him, tell me. I will send for people to look for him right away.”NôvelDrama.Org © content.

“Yes, I have. I’ll send it to you right away. Pudding, has the same blood type as you do. While he laughs, only one small dimple will appear on one side of the face just like you. He has a pair of silver bracelets on his wrists. They, they were left by your father. En-en, and…”

Mu suddenly stops in the middle of the sentence when she finds that she’s made a mistake. Yet it’s already too late. The man at the other end of the phone has already spotted it. Instantly his voice changes from caring to questioning, “Youyou, Pudding is my son, isn’t he?”

“He –”

“As far as I can remember, the silver bracelets were left by my father for his grandchildren. You gave them to Pudding. He even has the same blood type and dimple as mine. Ha, ha, anything else you want to explain about this?” Li Qiaosheng speaks accurately word by word.

Mu Ziyou is speechless. Being so anxious, she leaves all the other worries behind and cries, “Yes, you’re right. He is your son! So you must get him back! Without Pudding I won’t have any desire to live on …”

“Give me one day!” The man hangs up with such a resolute sentence.
