Chapter 427: Every moment a torture

Liu Chunhua was startled as she heard Nana’s scream. She rushed to her side but and was shocked to see her pale and horrified.

“Nana! What happened? Why are you crying?” She held her face and wiped her tears.

“Mom! Mom!” Tears rolled down her cheeks, and she stuttered. “Mom…s-somebody took the stroller…Jian and Nian…somebody took them away!”

Liu Chunhua froze. “What! She looked around, and the stroller wasn’t there.”

By now, everybody’s attention was on them and were whispering among themselves.

“Oh, God! Kidnapping in broad daylight!”

“They were only babies.”

“Gosh, is it any syndicate that kidnaps children?”

Nana paled even more after hearing that. “Mom, I-I have to go after them…My Jian and Nian…” Nana was beginning to run after that man while her whole body was shaking badly.

“Nana, wait!” Pei Yuan grabbed her hand. “It’s dangerous to follow that man. What if he has a gun?”

Nana froze and looked at him in horror. “Even more reason to go after him! I cannot wait anymore!”

The manager of the shop came rushing to them. “What is going on?”

Liu Chunhua glared at him. “What kind of security your shop has! A man kidnapped my grandsons in broad daylight! Liu family’s children!”

The manager paled and began to sweat.

L-Liu family…? I am dead!

“Mrs. Liu, I don’t have any idea. We didn’t-“

“Shut up! You are giving excuses now?”

Nana felt as if she couldn’t hear anything, and she tremblingly took a step forward while fighting her tears.

I am so pathetic…he took them in front, not me…I couldn’t do anything…

“Nana, I will go after him,” Pei Yuan said, “I promise I will…bring them back. Just stay here. It’s not safe.”

“How can I stay here when somebody has taken my children!? I want them back! What if that man h-hurts them? They only babies! Who will protect them?”

Pei Yuan pulled her back and shook her hard. “Let me go, okay? Just stay with Mrs. Liu here. I promise to bring them back.”

He already dashed out of the shop. Nana was about to follow him, but Liu Chunhua caught her arm. “Nana, please. He is right. I understand you. But that man could be dangerous.”

“Mom…Jian and Nian…” she pointed towards the exit, “Mom, they are gone…please bring them back…they are only babies…” she collapsed on her knees and broke down in tears.

Liu Chunhua hugged her and gently patted her head. “Dear, we will catch that man, don’t worry. I have informed Hai about it too. Jinhai and Hai will be here at any moment.”

“Mom…it’s all my fault. I was careless. I let them be taken away…Mom, if anything happens to them, then I wouldn’t be able to live anymore. Mom…”

Liu Chunhua’s eyes rimmed in tears, and she could only hug her back to give her strength.

“Don’t say that! It’s not your fault, child. Everything happened so suddenly. Don’t blame yourself. Our children will be back soon.”

The manager had also informed the security about chasing after that man. He looked pale, thinking of the consequences.

Somebody kidnapped the heirs of the Liu family in his shop. He was so dead. He couldn’t even imagine what Jinhai would do in retaliation.

On her side, every moment was torture for Nana. She was crying and sobbing, uttering her children’s names and nothing else. Her tearful gaze was fixed on the entrance the whole time, hoping to see the stroller again. She rested her head on Liu Jinhai’s chest, clutching her tightly.

“Baaaaaaa…”

“Baaaaa…abooo…”

Finally, after God knows how long where every second was akin to a century for her, Nana froze as she heard the familiar melodious voices of her children.

Jian? Nian?

She jerked her head and faintly saw Pei Yuan’s figure emerging from the side. Nana widened her eyes as her gaze locked on to the stroller that he was wheeling.

“M-mom. P-Pei Yuan…it’s him!”

She got up to her feet and rushed towards the door. Pei Yuan smiled at her and said, “I promised that I would bring them back, right?”

Nana looked down and found her children safe in the stroller as if nothing had happened. Her eyes blurred, and it felt as if somebody just lifted a huge mountain off her shoulders.

As if the twins sensed their mother’s anxiousness and fear, their eyes watered, and they started to wail loudly.

“Waaaaaaaaaa…”

“Waaaaaahaaaaa…”

Liu Chunhua smiled as tears stained her cheeks. “Aiyo, don’t cry.”

She took Jian and while Nana quickly took Nian in her arms. She peppered soft kisses all over their faces and hugged them tightly as if they would disappear at any moment.

“I am sorry…I am so sorry…” she whispered, “Mama was useless…” She bit her lip hard.

She looked at Pei Yuan and was shocked to see that he was hurt and bleeding.

“T-this…”

Pei Yuan said, “I somehow caught the man but got into a fight. This is nothing as long as…” he was irked from within, “your children are fine. I apologize though –”

“Nana?”

They turned and saw Jinhai and Liu Hai rushing towards them.

Jinhai’s gaze squinted as he saw Pei Yuan, but for now, he ignored him. He rushed to his wife’s side and took her in his arms.

“Nana, are you alright? Are you hurt?” He checked her from head to toe.

Nana burst out in tears again as she found solace in his arms. It was so frightening to see her children getting away that even now, she felt as if this was all her imagination.

She sniffled. “Jinhai…”

Pei Yuan’s eyebrow twitched, and his jaw tightened with their intimacy.

Jinhai kissed her forehead and quickly patted her head.

“Jian and Nian…Jinhai, somebody pushed me and took the stroller away. It was horrible…Thankfully, Pei Yuan brought them back; otherwise I-I would have never forgiven-“

“Sshh. It’s alright. It’s not your fault.”

Liu Hai was grim. “Do you recognize that man?”

Nana shook her head. “I could only partly see him, but I didn’t recognize him.”

Liu Hai smiled. “It’s alright, dear. We have already sent our guards after him. He will be caught in no time.”

Jinhai looked up and down at Pei Yuan and narrowed his eyes. “I see, so you caught up to that man and saved the twins. Quite heroic, isn’t it? Or should I say, quite convenient?”
