Five years later.

  In B City, in a two-bedroom apartment.

  Ye Qian took out a piece of chicken breast, pounded the meat loose, added salt, black pepper, cooking wine, soy sauce, and then poured in a little honey, marinating and pan-frying the chicken breast.

  Then cover with a lid and simmer for a while, which can ensure that the chicken is juicy and tender.

  Then, cut carrots and cucumbers into slices, sprinkle with salt and black pepper, and pan-fry both sides.

  Then, she took out the pre-made wraps and cooked purple rice, tore the chicken breast into strips, placed it on top of the vegetables on the purple rice, spread a layer of avocado paste, wrapped it with the wrap, and fixed it with aluminum foil.

  The customers slimming meal is ready.

  Ye Qian hastily brought todays lunch and rode her small electric motorcycle to rush to Changping Group.

  Ye Qi is now running a private restaurant, but it doesnt have a physical store. Instead, she completes everything at home, which saves a lot of costs.

  Open at noon only, two dishes every day, one healthy weight loss meal and one delicious bento with meat and vegetables, chosen by the customer.

  However, customers, especially white-collar women, mostly choose healthy and low-fat meals.

  "Thank you." A white-collar worker took over five portions of lunch, which they ordered together in the office. "Since I had your slimming meal, I no longer reject slimming meals. Recently, the diet of several girls in our office has become much healthier."

  "I really dont know how you did it, the chicken is so tender and juicy, and the carrots have completely lost that strong flavor." The white-collar worker praised.

  "I hope you like it, and thank you for your continued support," said Ye Qi with a smile. "If theres anything that doesnt taste right, please let me know and I can adjust it."

  "Alright." The white-collar worker paid and took her lunch back.

  Ye Qian was just about to go back when she received a call from the kindergarten.

  "Little Mos mom, that... Little Mo is gone, please come to the kindergarten right away." The teacher on the phone was almost in tears.

  "What?" Ye Qian hastily got on the car and rushed to the kindergarten, "He disappeared for no reason, how could he be gone?"

  The class teacher finally found an excuse too, "Because he was criticized for fighting with a child from another class, probably feeling resentful, so..."

  "Xiao Mo is not the kind of child who would fight with people for no reason, and besides, your kindergarten is supposed to be closed off, but a small child was actually able to walk out of your kindergarten by themselves. I now have very big doubts about the safety of your kindergarten."

  Moreover, as a class teacher, he didnt even know when his own students went missing!

  There arent many kids in the class, only 15 in total, yet no one noticed that Xiao Mo was gone!

  "Wait until I get there and find someone before talking." Ye Qian hung up the phone and quickly dialed a call to Ye Xiao Mo.

  She was afraid that Xiao Mo would be alone outside and couldnt contact her in case of an emergency, so she specially bought a childrens mobile phone for Ye Xiaomo.

  In case of an emergency, they can find each other.

  But the phone call was made for half a day and couldnt get through.

  Ye Qian was riding on an electric bike, her whole body trembling.

  Five years ago, she left home and was afraid that Xu Hui Zhen and Ye Ning would find her at school, so she simply went to drop out of school.

  Then, he hurriedly bought a ticket for the northbound train and came to City B.

  The town was not big, she didnt dare stay there any longer, otherwise one day she would be found by them.

  Rented a house with previous savings and found a helpers job in a restaurant.

  Every day is busy, even holidays have not come, she has not realized it yet.

  It wasnt until morning sickness started that her belly began to bulge out.

  Ye Qian hurriedly went for a check-up and only then discovered that she was already nearly four months pregnant.

  At that time, the child had already begun to take shape. If it were to be taken away, it would not only cause great harm to her but also be cruel to the child.

  Struggling alone in City B, Ye Qian didnt know where she got the courage from, and she gave birth to the child.

  Her belly is getting bigger and shes no longer suitable for working in the back kitchen, so she had to resign.

  She used that time to record videos of food making and gave herself a net name called Xiao Mo.

  Her name is Xiaodie.

  And Mo is the strange child in her belly from a stranger.

  Apart from recording videos, she also made use of her other time.

  Also registered as a merchant on food delivery apps, doing private dishes.

  Because she is alone and pregnant with limited energy, so every day can only sell in limited quantities.

  She didnt expect that as a food blogger, her account would gain more and more followers, while the customers of her private kitchen would also become stable, with many repeat customers.

  Her income has become more stable, not only from selling private dishes, but also from advertising revenue received by her food blogger account.

  From initially receiving advertisements for mineral water, edible oil, seasonings and the like, to now, famous brands of cutlery, kitchen appliances such as refrigerators, ovens, dishwashers and so on, these big brand advertisements have also been received.

  Not only did they receive advertising fees, but also these electrical appliances were given by the brand side.

  Nowadays, in her home kitchen, basically all are brand-sponsored gifts, no need to spend money herself, and can always be updated to the latest models.

  This way, her life with Ye Xiaomo also stabilized, no longer having to worry about making a living, and she could give Ye Xiaomo a stable and comfortable life.

  She still remembered the moment she gave birth to Xiao Mo and saw him for the first time.

  She never thought that the little guy could be so good-looking.

  Her eyebrows and eyes dont look like hers, she thought, they should be like that stranger whose face she didnt know.

  Just by looking at Ye Xiao Mos face, it can be determined that the persons appearance is exceptionally outstanding.

  Because her food blogger account name is Xiao Mo, and also because of that stranger.

  She named the little guy Ye Xiao Mo.

  For these four years, Ye Qian has been grateful every moment for having given birth to the little guy.

  To her, Ye Xiaomo and that stranger were unrelated, he was just an angel sent by heaven.

  It was during her most difficult time that she received the best gift.

  ***

  A Rolls-Royce Phantom stopped by the roadside, Zhao Guishen sat in the back seat.

  His bony fingers were pinching a mobile phone that looked quite old and had an outdated model.

  He flipped through these years, and he didnt know how many times he had flipped through the photo album, WeChat and other social media.

  But still no useful clues were found from here.

  The phones address book is blank, and there isnt even a single call record.

  There isnt a single selfie in the photo album, mostly just food photos. The notes app is also filled with recipes, and those recipes have been edited over and over again.

  There are no friends on WeChat at all, which is too much. Then why did she download WeChat?

  Is it just for following various food WeChat public accounts?

  "Deeper, youre looking again?" The co-pilot, Xiao Ruofeng, turned his head and said.
