Hearing his wife say this, Shen Zhenxiong sighed and walked out as he was told.

After her husband left, Qin Xinlin stood up and sat closer to her daughter.

He asked, "Hey, baby, why didn't you tell us you were kidnapped? Aren't you making us worry?"

"Mom, I didn't mean to hide this from you. I was just afraid that you would be even more worried if you knew."

Qin Xinlin raised her hand and gently held her daughter in her arms, stroking her long hair. She said lovingly, "Silly words! You are the apple of our eye. If we as parents don't know that you are in danger, then wouldn't we be incompetent?"

"Are you right?"

"But, Mom..."

"I'm really tired, but I know I can't stop. If I stop, you will definitely be bullied."

Qin Xinlin chuckled when she heard her daughter's sad and self-destructive words.

"Hahaha! You kid, we don't need you to protect us. Besides, even if I need protection, it's your dad who protects me."

"In short, just take good care of yourself."

"Okay, I won't say any more. I think your body still needs rest. Mom will go downstairs first. You should have a good sleep. When you wake up, everything will be fine."

"No, Mom, I just feel a little unwell. I'll be fine after a good night's sleep."

"I think I'd better go down with you."

"Hey! You! This kid is so disobedient! The older he gets, the harder it is to control!"

Qin Xinlin poked Shen Qingtang's forehead fiercely. "You! You're such a smooth talker!"

After saying that, Qin Xinlin threw back the quilt and said, "Since you say you're fine, then come with me."

"Hey, hey, hey, mom, slow down, I'm cold!"

"Oh? You realize it's cold now, but it's too late! Let's go!"

He dragged the girl down the stairs.

"Hey, wife, why did you bring our daughter down here? Isn't she resting?"

Qin Xinlin looked at her husband Shen Zhenxiong's helpless expression, she shook her head helplessly, then turned to Shen Qingtang with a hint of blame and concern in her tone.

"How should I know? Ask your daughter! I told her to sleep but she refused. She insisted on coming down with me and said she was fine!" Qin Xinlin's voice revealed her worry and helplessness about her daughter.

Shen Qingtang felt guilty when she heard her mother's words. She knew her mother was concerned about her health, but she was also eager to see Li Hanting and find out how the mysterious man found her office.

"Mom, I'm sorry. I know you're doing this for my own good. But I really want to see him. I need to know how he's doing now." There was a hint of pleading in Shen Qingtang's voice.

Qin Xinlin looked at her daughter, a hint of understanding flashing in her eyes. "Qingtang, I understand how you feel. But you also have to take good care of yourself and don't let us worry."

Shen Qingtang nodded. She knew her mother's worry was out of love. "Mom, I will. I promise, I will get some rest, but please let me see him first."

Shen Zhenxiong looked at his daughter. He could sense Shen Qingtang's eagerness and determination. "Qingtang, are you sure you've recovered?"

Shen Qingtang took a deep breath, her eyes filled with determination. "Dad, I'm sure. I need to see him. I need to know what happened."

Shen Zhenxiong and Qin Xinlin looked at each other. They knew that their daughter had made up her mind and they could not change her decision.

"Okay, we'll go with you." There was a hint of firmness and kindness in Shen Zhenxiong's voice.

"Oh, you two are the only ones who are close, right? You don't consider me a human being, do you?"

"I really have no idea what to do with you!"

"Now that we're on this, let's go. Let's go to your office and see if there are any other clues."

Shen Qingtang, Qin Xinlin, and Shen Zhenxiong were about to leave when Shen Qingtang suddenly stopped and asked with a puzzled look on her face, "Mom, didn't you say my husband was here? Where is he? Did he go back?"

Qin Xinlin looked at her daughter, a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes, and then she said softly: "Qingtang, your husband...he did come, but..."

Shen Qingtang felt an ominous premonition in her heart, and her eyes flashed with anxiety. "But what? Mom, tell me quickly!"

Qin Xinlin sighed. She knew her daughter needed to know the truth. "He came, but he had to go back because of an emergency at the company. He asked me to tell you that he'll be back soon."

Shen Qingtang's expression became visibly lonely, and her heart was filled with disappointment and loss.

She thought Li Hanting would be waiting for her here, but she didn't expect him to go back.

"Mom, he...he really went back?" Shen Qingtang's voice trembled slightly, and tears flashed in her eyes.

Qin Xinlin nodded and gently stroked her daughter's hair. "Qingtang, don't be sad. He loves you and he will definitely come back."

Shen Qingtang heard his mother say this.

Although I feel lost, I can understand it.

After all, her husband is the richest man in the country.

It's normal to be busy, and in a moment the lost look on the girl's face disappeared.

A decent smile appeared on his face again.

A clear voice rang out: "Okay, Mom, I understand... Let's go quickly."

Shen Qingtang nodded. She knew her parents were doing this for her own good. She would follow their advice, go home and rest, and wait for Li Hanting's return.

"Well, okay, Mom, Dad, I understand." There was a hint of firmness in Shen Qingtang's voice, although her heart was full of loss and worry.

After saying this, Shen Qingtang didn't give the two elders a chance to speak. She walked out of the room alone. Although her steps were firm, her back clearly revealed sadness and loss.

Shen Zhenxiong and Qin Xinlin looked at their daughter's back, their hearts filled with worry. They knew that Shen Qingtang's love for Li Hanting was so deep, and Li Hanting's sudden departure undoubtedly made her very sad.

"Zhenxiong, let's follow him." Qin Xinlin said softly. She was worried that something might happen to Shen Qingtang if he was alone.

Shen Zhenxiong nodded, and they followed him out of the room, following Shen Qingtang's footsteps.

Shen Qingtang walked out of the house, took a deep breath, and tried to calm herself down.

She knew that she couldn't let her emotions affect her parents and that she needed to be strong.

She was walking home alone. The lights on both sides of the street were dim and warm, but Shen Qingtang's heart was filled with coldness. Her heart was filled with longing for Li Hanting and uncertainty about the future.

Shen Qingtang knew that she had to be strong. She couldn't let her emotions affect her parents. She needed to be strong.

She walked alone on the way to the scene. The lights on both sides of the street were dim and warm, but Shen Qingtang's heart was filled with coldness.
