He quickly said into the phone, “Call me if you hear anything”, before hanging up in a rush . He turned around and flashed a guilty smile . “Pudding, why are you here?”
“Oh, I wanted to hang out with you . ”
“Sure, come sit . ” Gao Ran waved his hand . Their balcony was quite big; Huo Mian had helped Zhu Lingling with the design . It was set up like a giant garden, with wicker chairs on either side and a round coffee table in the middle . Zhu Lingling had placed shelves on either side of the balcony and filled them up with different trees and plants . Anyone who stepped onto the balcony would feel like they were in close contact with nature .
Gao Ran sat down on a chair off to the left, while Pudding sat down across from him .
“Do you want fruit? I’ll get some for you . ”
“Uncle Gao, I’m super full from dinner . ”
“Okay then . ”
“Uncle Gao, are things busy at the bureau?”
“Same old, same old, we get a hundred cases a day, and things are a mess . My job reminds me of why it’s better to start my own business, like your Daddy . ” Gao Ran smiled as he complained about work to Pudding .
Pudding tilted her head and leaned back on her chair . “Daddy’s work is really stressful too . He’s so quiet and rarely talks about things that bother him . ”
“You’re very much like your daddy, aren’t you?” Gao Ran smiled .
“That’s what everyone says, but he’s so much more than I am . He can do anything for Mommy, but I can’t… I don’t know how to give to my family . ”
“You’re still young . You’ll understand more once you grow up . ” Gao Ran didn’t want to go into too much detail because Pudding was a kid after all . He couldn’t help but wonder why their conversation was so depressing .

“Uncle Gao, what kind of person do you think I am?”
“You?”
“Yes, can you rate me objectively . ”
“Haha, that’s not a good idea . ”
“It’s okay, my heart isn’t made of glass,” Pudding said in all seriousness .
Gao Ran, stumped, thought about it for a few seconds . Then, he said slowly . “You’re smart, proud, and icy like your dad . You’re also like your mom in that you’re generous but unfazed . You really are a genius baby . ”

“So, Uncle Gao, will you say that I can be trusted?”
“Of course, you’re extremely loyal and kind-hearted . ” Gao Ran thought back to the time Boyuan and Zhu Lingling were trapped at the hotel . They were able to narrowly escape danger because Pudding told Boyuan to set off the fire alarm . Her suggestion not only saved Zhu Lingling’s life, it also showed how smart Pudding was – some adults would freak out under a situation like that .
“Thank you for thinking so highly of me . Then, can you tell me where my daddy and mommy went?” Pudding finally got to her point .
Upon hearing this, Gao Ran sat up anxiously . “Pudding, listen to me…”
“Uncle Gao, don’t try to brush me off, I won’t fall for it . Just tell me the truth, or else I’ll think the worst and get all worried . As their daughter, I have the right to know what kind of situation they’re in . ” Pudding’s calmness reminded Gao Ran of Huo Mian . She looked like a lawyer, arguing in court .
Gao Ran couldn’t help but avoid Pudding’s sharp gaze; he originally thought he could think of a random excuse, but that plan just went straight down the drain .
