He struggled to wake up from the nightmare and found himself in the bedroom, his palms still empty, with only a drop of sweat sliding down his forehead.

After that, he tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. When the sky turned white, Gu Huaijing simply got up.

He came to the company early, and Li Mingyou knew from his complexion that he had not rested well.

So he sighed quietly in his heart and put the brewed coffee on the table as usual: "Mr. Gu, your coffee is ready."

In the past few months, Gu Huaijing has become a different person, constantly numbing himself with intense work.

Gu Huaijing took a sip of coffee and asked, "Has the email been sent to Magya Company?"

Li Mingyou said: "I have already sent it along with the attachments as you instructed."

Magya has a complete new energy supply system and is exactly the partner their company urgently needs for its newly launched project.

In order to negotiate the cooperation, Gu Huaijing made a lot of efforts.

He seemed to suddenly remember something: "What day is today?"

"Today is the 15th, Mr. Gu."

Before Li Mingyou could react, Gu Huaijing had already taken his cell phone and walked out.

The first and fifteenth of every month are the days when he must go to Xichan Ancient Temple.

In addition to burning incense for the dead child, he also prayed in front of the Buddha, hoping that he could find Ning Xi as soon as possible.

Since taking over Gu's Company, Gu Huaijing has never asked anyone for help. No matter how hard or tiring it was, he carried it all on his own.

But since the death of his child and the disappearance of Ning Xi, he had to pin his hopes on this.

I just hope that these merits can allow Ning Xi to return home soon and rest in peace.

Even Master Rukong couldn't help but shake his head and sigh: "Mr. Gu, you are really too infatuated."

In the past year, he has come to the temple to worship at regular times, rain or shine, and is more devout than pilgrims who have been here for more than a decade. When pilgrims have a knot in their hearts that is difficult to resolve, their faith will turn into obsession. Just by looking at his expression, you can guess something.

But Gu Huaijing was not going to listen to what others said. He solemnly inserted the three incense sticks in his hand into the incense burner and made a secret wish in his heart.

As long as I can get Ning Xi back, I am willing to exchange everything I have.

.........

Country Z, Lanka Island.

On the day when the kindergarten held parent-child activities, Ning Xi got up early to dress herself and her child.

The little girl loves beauty, so she specially learned a lot of exquisite hairstyles, which came in handy this time.

Lu Xiu went to the company first to take care of some matters, and then went directly to school.

Lu Ruoxing looked left and right in front of the mirror, and was very satisfied with her new hairstyle and new dress. She looked up and asked, "Mom, do I look like a little princess today?"

Ning Xi touched her face and said, "Of course, our Ruoxing is the most beautiful little princess in the world."

Lu Ruoxing's watery eyes curved: "Then mom is the most beautiful princess!"

When the two of them arrived at school, unsurprisingly, they became the focus of everyone's attention.

Ning Xi wore a well-cut light-colored knee-length skirt, which highlighted her graceful figure while maintaining her dignity. The topaz jewelry made her lips and teeth look red and her temperament more refined.

Previously, the driver was in charge of the children's pick-up and drop-off, and they had never seen Ning Xi. No one expected that Lu Ruoxing's mother would be so stunning!

Some children stared at her blankly, and Lu Ruoxing went over and raised her little face proudly: "I said my mother is the most beautiful, I didn't lie to you, did I?"

"You are Ruoxing's mother, Ms. Qiao, right? Come, please sit over here."

The teacher led Ning Xi to a seat and began to explain the precautions for this activity. Five minutes before the activity started, Lu Xiu arrived.

He sat down next to Ning Xi and said softly, "Am I not late?"

"No," Ning Xi handed him the warm water in front of her, "It came much faster than I thought."

Lu Xiu smiled and said, "Our company has had a cooperative relationship with Magya for several years. This time we just need to prepare the materials."

With warm applause, the parent-child activity officially kicked off.

The kindergarten pays more attention to cultivating children's creative thinking. The first step is to require parents and children to make handicrafts with existing waste materials.

"Ruoxing, what do you want to do?"

"I want to be a windmill puppy!"

So Ning Xi cut the paper, Lu Xiu disassembled the plastic, and the simplest assembly part was left to Lu Ruoxing.

"Dad, you took down the wrong one." Lu Ruoxing pointed at a piece of plastic, "You should take down the yellow one. We made a yellow windmill."

"…Dad made a mistake. I will correct it right away."

Lu Ruoxing looked like a little inspector. After checking Lu Xiu, he came to see Ning Xi.

Ning Xi lowered her head and fiddled with the scissors carefully. She caught a glimpse of Lu Ruoxing from the corner of her eyes and smiled without even raising her eyes: "Mom didn't make any mistakes, did she?"

After asking, no one responded for a long time.

"Ruoxing?"

Ning Xi put down the scissors and looked at it, and was immediately surprised.

Lu Ruoxing's face turned purple at some point, cold sweat broke out on her forehead, her eyelids were drooping, and she seemed to be having difficulty breathing.

She opened her mouth in vain, but no sound came out. The next moment, her whole body fell into Ning Xi's arms with a "thump".

"Ruoxing! Ruoxing!"

After Lu Xiu reacted, he checked Lu Ruoxing's heartbeat.

The parents who heard the noise also looked over here.

Seeing Ning Xi's anxious eyes reddened, Lu Xiu said: "I have called an ambulance, and the school doctor is on the way and will be here soon. Xiaoshi, don't be afraid."

He held Ning Xi's hand, and the latter held him tightly as if seeking comfort.

The school doctor who arrived quickly checked Lu Ruoxing's vital signs and determined that cardiopulmonary resuscitation could not be performed, so he put an oxygen mask on her.

"The child fell into a coma due to lack of oxygen. The specific situation can only be known after an examination at the hospital. Now I can only give her oxygen to relieve the symptoms."

Outside the emergency room, Ning Xi leaned on Lu Xiu's shoulder, unable to stop crying.

"It's all my fault... If I had realized something was wrong earlier..."

"How can I blame you? Normally, there are no symptoms, and no one can see it." Lu Xiu was also worried, but he still patted her back gently and comforted her, "Xiao Shi, we sent her here in time, Ruxing will be fine."

Ning Xi closed her eyes, hot tears sliding down her cheeks.

The two of them just waited outside the door from noon until dusk. During this time, Ning Xi never left, for fear of missing any news.

Only after Lu Xiu’s persuasion did she reluctantly eat two bites of bread and milk.

Finally, the door of the emergency room slowly opened and the doctor led the two to the conversation room.

As soon as she sat down, Ning Xi said anxiously: "We are her parents. Doctor, my daughter...how is my daughter now?"

The doctor took off his mask and said: "The child is out of danger now, but she still needs to be observed in the PICU for a while. After her vital signs return to normal, we will consider elective surgery."

"Surgery?" Ning Xi's face suddenly changed.

The doctor took a report from his pocket and spread it on the table.

Lu Xiu stepped forward to check: "Is this... a cardiac ultrasound?"

The doctor explained, "The child's heart has a congenital malformation and needs to be treated as soon as possible."

Ning Xi's face turned pale after hearing this, and she was stunned for a long time.

"How could...how could this happen?" Ning Xi murmured, "She was so healthy, why did she suddenly become born with a deformity? Is this a mistake?"
