Tu Qinqin really felt sorry for these kids. They had grown up without their father's company, deprived of fatherly love at such a young age. Just thinking about it made her heart ache. She looked at the little ones in front of her with all the tenderness in her eyes.
Moreover, the sensible Wanwan was so sweet and lovable, and the smart Chenchen was equally endearing. Anyone who saw them would like them. She didn't believe that Li Shanen would deny them.
"Kids, don't tell your mom about this for now. Let's keep it a secret for the time being," Tu Qinqin whispered.
Tu Qinqin genuinely wanted to do something for them. Maybe it was the natural maternal protectiveness in every woman.
After all, they were back. She couldn't just let these two poor kids grow up without a father. It wouldn't be good for their future development.
A complete family had a huge impact on a child's childhood. The mental health of children in their childhood should be taken seriously. A bad childhood experience might affect them for a lifetime.
Finding their father not only fulfilled the two kids' wishes but also relieved Qin Qiaor's burden.
This matter wasn't that difficult. As long as she put her heart into uncovering the truth, she would surely find him one day.
Tu Qinqin opened her arms and hugged Wanwan. With a big smile on her face, she said to the little girl, "Wanwan, auntie will give you some news in a few days. Don't worry. Auntie Qinqin will definitely find your daddy."
Wanwan looked at Tu Qinqin expectantly, her eyes full of hope. "Really? Will I have a daddy like other kids from now on?" she asked excitedly, waving her chubby little hands. Her big, shiny eyes were fixed on Tu Qinqin.
Tu Qinqin had just put forward the idea, but she didn't expect the little girl to be so excited. It seemed that she really longed for a father.
She replied firmly, "Yes, I'll find your daddy for you. How about that?"
Hearing Tu Qinqin's firm promise, Wanwan happily planted kisses all over Tu Qinqin's face.
Wanwan was overjoyed. She was going to have a daddy. From then on, her daddy would play with her.
Wanwan had never been so happy. Her long - cherished wish was finally going to come true.
Seeing the little girl's happy face, Tu Qinqin also felt much happier. Her eyes were full of smiles.
To find clues earlier, she had to start from what happened back then. After all, it had been so many years, and no one knew the truth better than Qin Qiaor.
Although she knew who the children's father was, there were so many people with the same name in the world. Even in City A, there were plenty of them.
So there was a reason why Qin Qiaor hadn't looked for him. She must have thought about finding a father for the kids, but Li Shanen was also a source of pain for Qin Qiaor.
So now, she had to keep it from Qin Qiaor, find the children's father directly, and let them recognize each other. By then, the matter would be a done deal, and Qin Qiaor couldn't say anything. She couldn't cut off the children's connection with their father.
Most importantly, Tu Qinqin believed that the children's father would recognize them and like them.
There was a hint of worry in Tu Qinqin's eyes, and her face looked a bit strange.
"Qinqin, I've already talked to Ziyuan. We'll leave Mimi with him for a few days," Qin Qiaor walked over and said to Tu Qinqin.
"What's wrong with you?" Seeing Tu Qinqin in a daze, Qin Qiaor couldn't help asking.
"Ah! I'm fine. I was just thinking about work," Tu Qinqin said loudly, trying to avoid arousing Qin Qiaor's suspicion.
"Stop being so paranoid..." After saying that, Qin Qiaor bent down and said to Chenchen and Wanwan, "Okay, we've seen the puppies. Let's go home, shall we?"
Seeing Qin Wanwan and Qin Chenchen nod obediently and look at the mother dog and Mimi reluctantly, they said goodbye to Zhang Ziyuan and left.
In the evening, Tu Qinqin was still thinking about how to find an opportunity. But first, she needed to find some clues, and the first step was to start with Qin Qiaor.
Tu Qinqin paced back and forth, rubbing her chin with her right hand. How should she start the investigation? "Got it, the computer!" Tu Qinqin excitedly slapped her own head. Finally, she came up with an idea.
Qin Qiaor had the habit of keeping a diary, so her computer was like a treasure trove of secrets. She wouldn't let just anyone touch it, but she wouldn't mind if it was Tu Qinqin.
But now Qin Qiaor was still using the computer to work. She had to think carefully about how to get hold of it.
Tu Qinqin said to Qin Qiaor, who was sitting on the sofa, in a considerate tone, "Don't be so busy. Remember you have to rush to the dubbing show early tomorrow morning."
Qin Qiaor suddenly remembered this. "Okay then," she said, and was about to turn off the computer.
"I'll do it. You go take a shower quickly," Tu Qinqin said, with a hint of barely noticeable nervousness.
"Okay then. Thank you, Qinqin," Qin Qiaor said gratefully and then went upstairs.
It was a close call. Finally, she managed to get Qin Qiaor out of the way. Tu Qinqin quickly rummaged through the computer, hoping to find some clues.
After browsing through it several times, she didn't find any obvious suspicious information.
Tu Qinqin looked puzzled. She quickly and carefully checked it again. Somehow, her hand stopped scrolling the mouse when she saw a folder without a title.
Her intuition told her that there must be something fishy in this folder. Tu Qinqin patiently opened it. "Li Shanen"?
When Tu Qinqin opened it, she realized that Qiaor had also been looking for the children's father. Suddenly, her eyes became a bit moist.
Over the years, Qiaor had really had a tough time. Tu Qinqin saw it all and felt heart - broken for her.
Since Qiaor, that is, Qin Qiaor, had already made a list of Li Shanen in City A and even had his photos, it was really a case of "it takes no effort to find what you've been looking for all over the place."
Tu Qinqin analyzed carefully. After all, the Li Shanen back then was a rich man. There weren't many rich people in the whole of City A. She knew one of them, the Li Group! Suddenly, Tu Qinqin thought of him.
Could it be him? Tu Qinqin clicked on the folder and searched for the Li Shanen from the Li Group.
She was surprised to find that Qin Qiaor had already made a note, saying "90%." It seemed that Qiaor was 90% sure that this Li Shanen from the Li Group was the one she was looking for.
Tu Qinqin happily closed the computer. She was overjoyed. This made things much easier. She knew Li Shanen's address...
Qin Qiaor took off all her exhaustion and happily went to take a shower. She would continue to work hard tomorrow.
Tu Qinqin quietly tidied up the computer and other documents and then went back home.
After taking a shower, Qin Qiaor felt completely relaxed. She lay on the soft bed in a star - shaped position and let out a long sigh. Her long, thick eyelashes fluttered up and down, and soon she fell into a deep sleep.
