appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His heart ached terribly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew what Xia Yangyang’s physical condition was right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Yangyang stood up and took a sip of water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qichen said, “You should rest here for a bit, leave the rest to me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Xia Yangyang had no mind to rest now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although practically the entire city had been mobilized by now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Yangyang’s heart was still in chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Xingxing is still so young.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where could a little girl like her go?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s been two hours since it happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How is it that there’s still no news at all?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Xia Yangyang’s heart, Xingxing is not that kind of willful child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if she ran away herself, she wouldn’t be so stubborn as to never come back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe she would come back once she figured things out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Yangyang still held onto this hope in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Yangyang searched through every street and alley, asking practically everyone she saw if they had seen a little girl, five years old, with pigtails.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The streets grew increasingly deserted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At two in the morning, Xia Yangyang returned to the place where Xingxing had gone missing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten hours had passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Yangyang was now almost completely exhausted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her stomach was still churning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only that, her head ached as if it would explode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But little Xingxing had not been found.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The police also had no news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Yangyang felt she could no longer hold on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She staggered as she walked down the street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Xingxing didn’t know where she’d gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Yangyang’s worry felt like a venomous serpent, tightly wrapping around her, suffocating her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qichen kept trying to get Xia Yangyang to go back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Xia Yangyang refused to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She traversed every street and alley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Gu Qichen could only follow behind Xia Yangyang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them were a meter apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They hadn’t spoken the entire night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Yangyang took two steps, and suddenly, her body swayed, and she fell backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Yangyang fell into Gu Qichen’s arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a daze, she only heard Gu Qichen calling her name loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Xia Yangyang had no strength to open her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just like that, she fainted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she opened her eyes again, she was in the hospital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Yangyang could only feel her eyelids were so heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how she tried, she couldn’t open them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the strong smell of disinfectant told her that she was definitely in a hospital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, she managed to open her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Yangyang felt completely drained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But her mind was still very clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Yangyang knew that little Xingxing was missing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Yangyang hoped this was just a dream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That she would awaken and everything would be a false alarm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it wasn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Yangyang turned her head with effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She saw a tall figure standing at the door to the floor-to-ceiling window not far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Gu Qichen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qichen was on the phone now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was already the dead of night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sky outside was a dark blue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The horizon was like an overturned bowl, spilling endless ink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qichen’s figure was cold and distant, his silhouette even colder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vaguely, Xia Yangyang could hear him telling someone to spare no expense and to find that child no matter what.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps Gu Qichen was already employing forces operating in grey areas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Xia Yangyang knew from this that little Xingxing still hadn’t been found.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despair felt like water in the abyss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Yangyang felt her body was very heavy, slowly sinking down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was nothing she could hold onto.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air in her lungs was slowly fading away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That feeling was truly unbearable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Yangyang convinced herself that now was not the time for despair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter what happened, she had to stay strong.\u003C\u002Fp>",646,"2026-06-02T11:18:42.356Z",1,"novelbin.me","d1efc0ec5b1138805d94f81e37a71ca1f91499a90d1bd013d7d52a62ac996514","mr-gu-s-first-doting-marriage-chapter-1781","mr-gu-s-first-doting-marriage-chapter-1779",2419,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmr-gu-s-first-doting-marriage-cover.jpg"]
