Eric’s ring is a symbol of Royal Family mbership. To put it more strongly, many things can be settled with a ring without the need for a Royal Family mber to step in.
Yin Shixiu is clear about this in his heart.
It’s lost, and he is very worried, but now, his worry is no longer about Eric losing the ring.
His concern is that Shuangshuang might mistakenly swallow the ring!
Shuangshuang seems completely unaware of what has happened, still clutching the toy bought at the airport today.
Yin Shixiu steps forward and picks Shuangshuang up onto his lap, asking sternly,
"Where’s Uncle’s ring?"
Shuangshuang sees Dad with a serious face and is a bit confused, staring at him blankly...
Seeing this questioning won’t lead to an answer, Yin Shixiu says,
"Tell Dad, did Shuang’er eat anything?"
Shuangshuang nods.
A chill runs through Yin Shixiu’s heart, and the next second he wants to get up to take Shuangshuang to the hospital.
A two-year-old is fond of using their teeth and mouth; whatever they grab they like to put in their mouth. So, parents must be extra cautious about what children put in their mouth at this stage.
But then Shuangshuang stretches out her hand, pointing to the desserts brought by Mary on the coffee table, and says in an unclear, childish voice,
"Na na lun..."
Actually, the dessert’s na is Napoleon, and Eric taught for quite so ti before Shuangshuang could barely say these two words!
Yin Shixiu’s heart hasn’t relaxed yet; he continues to ask,
"Anything else?"
Shuangshuang touches her head, pulls out a gummy candy from her pocket, and whispers in Yin Shixiu’s ear,
"Great-grandpa gave it to !"
This two-year-old finds speaking difficult, especially when eager to express sothing; her words are stuttered, punctuated with deep breaths.
"Anything else?"
Yin Shixiu takes the ring off his own ring finger to show Shuangshuang,
"Where did you put the ring Uncle Eric gave you just now?"
Shuangshuang blinks, uncertain if she understands, reaches to wrap her arms around Yin Shixiu’s neck,
"Dad..."
"Shuang’er, look at Dad, he’s asking you!"
Yin Shixiu is anxious, and his tone follows with so urgency.
Shuangshuang isn’t pleased, puffing her little mouth as if she can hang an oil bottle.
The more Yin Shixiu speaks, the tighter she holds his neck, firmly refusing to show her face, unsure what kind of stubbornness she’s displaying.
Su Xiaong cos out, instinctively looking around, asking everyone to help search on the floor.
She thinks Shuangshuang probably couldn’t swallow the ring; perhaps she was playing with it and it fell into so corner nook.
Eric is sweating in worry.
"Arthur, you must find it for !"
Yin Shixiu imdiately glares at him,
"If sothing so important, how can it be casually given to a child to play with?"
Eric sses with his curly hair a couple of tis, despite being an accomplished man in his thirties, lacking experience in caring for children.
Additionally, Eric is not ticulous by nature; seeing Shuangshuang intrigued by the ring on his hand, he casually gave it to her to play with, never expecting—
Just within two or three minutes... in a blink, the ring vanished, unsure where the little girl hid it.
"Otherwise... take Shuangshuang to the hospital for a check-up first? If she really swallowed it..."
Yin Shixiu actually thinks the sa.
The child is still young; asking her might not be understood, her expression is unclear.
Besides, Eric’s ring is made of tal, and to so extent, tal can be harmful to the human body.
Su Xiaong knows ingesting tal items is bad for the human body. Shuangshuang is so small that if sothing really happens...
The re thought makes her dizzy.
Grabbing a jacket, she says,
"Let’s go to the hospital first, Chen Lan, help search around the house, if you find it that’s the best."
Su Xiaong reminds, and then leaves with Yin Shixiu.
Prince Huang is engrossed in playing with planes when he hears the door close and turns to discover Shuangshuang is gone...
Glancing around again, Dad and Mom are also gone...
Prince Huang panics, his handso little face suddenly dumbfounded, climbing down from the sofa and wandering around the living room, then heading to Yin Shixiu’s bedroom door...
With two short legs swaying, he walks inside with composure but runs out frazzled!
"Mom... Mom..."
Eric and others are searching for the ring, when all of a sudden they hear Prince Huang start crying out loud, and are dumbfounded—
"Huang Huang? What’s wrong with you?"
Yang Rui is the first to try comforting him, rushing over to hold Huang Huang, but gets slapped away...
"Dad! Dad!"
Prince Huang shouts loudly, determined that calling like this, Dad and Mom can hear him.
A stubborn little guy crying while circling the living room.
Determined that Dad, Mom, and Shuangshuang are not ho, his cries beco more heart-wrenching!
Eric is dumbstruck.
Having seen so much, Eric is now clueless watching the child cry like this...
He hurriedly looked to Mary,
"You, you’re a woman, quickly go and comfort him! Crying like this, everyone upstairs and downstairs will think we’re doing sothing..."
Eric’s voice trembled as he spoke.
Mary has children of her own, and experience in taking care of kids. She walks over and picks Prince Huang up in her arms.
"Huang Huang don’t cry, Huang Huang don’t cry, Dad and Mom will be back soon..."
"Sister is not feeling well, Dad and Mom took her to the hospital."
"Dad! Dad!"
Prince Huang naturally has a colder temperant than Shuangshuang, even more detached from strangers.
Now Mary holding him not only fails to calm him, but makes him cry out even more fiercely!
His little claws constantly scratching at Mary, struggling to escape her arms.
Mary has no choice but to let him go.
Prince Huang, no sooner freed, runs to the big dark brown door, patting on it, trying hard to reach the door handle...
"Dad! Mom... I want Dad... I want Mom... Waaah..."
Yang Rui quickly calls Yin Shixiu.
They’ve just reached the parking lot, the car just started, and when Yin Shixiu picks up Yang Rui’s call, he hears Prince Huang’s heart-wrenching cries over the phone!
Through the phone, Su Xiaong can hear it too!
Su Xiaong hurriedly slaps her leg,
"In a hurry, I forgot! Huang Huang isn’t Shuangshuang, without a familiar person, he definitely can’t manage!"
On the phone, Yang Rui describes Prince Huang’s situation, just as Su Xiaong guessed.
After they left, Prince Huang looks for Dad and Mom at ho... must have been scared.
Shuangshuang sits in the car seat, blinking, unaware of what’s happening, only hearing her brother’s cries,
"Ah, it’s brother..."
"Ah, brother is crying..."
"Brother... don’t cry..."
Shuangshuang mumbles, trying to offer remote comfort to her crying brother.
Su Xiaong tells Yin Shixiu,
"You take Shuangshuang to the hospital, we’ll stay in touch by phone, I need to go back to Prince Huang."
Yin Shixiu nods, seeing Su Xiaong quickly getting out of the car, he urgently reminds,
"Slow down, don’t be too anxious."
Su Xiaong doesn’t even have the ti to respond, hastily waiting for the elevator!
She presses the "up" button, impatiently tapping her foot, a woman in a stylish beige coat stands beside Xiaong...
