BXBX NOVEL Chapter 97 - It Was I Who Let Them Kidnap Us!!
"Excuse me gentleman" Mr. An excused and walked towards his baby daughter. Patting her hair gently, he smiled widely and asked "What is it?"
Standing at the side, when Sia saw the interaction between Mr. An and An Ran, she suddenly missed her doting father who was exactly like Mr. An...cough may be a bit extreme but still...she dearly missed him.
Stepping forward, An Ran clung onto her father's arm and smiled liked a spoilt princess.
"Father, didn't I say you about my friend? it's her, Sia" An Ran introduced cheerfully
Turning to look at Sia who was standing a few steps behind and had a very polite smile, Mr. An nodded his head and said "So this is your friend Sia? Nice to meet you, little girl. I heard a lot about you from my daughter" he said and stretched his hand for a handshake
Taking Mr. An hands, Sia shook his hand with a polite smile and said "Nice to meet you too Mr. An"
"I heard that you had something to speak with me. May I know what can I help with you?" Mr. An asked politely
"Yes, I do have something important to speak with you but this is not the right place. So please follow me, My friend has arranged a room for us to speak privately" Sia answered politely
Hearing Sia's words, Mr. An hesitated but seeing his daughter's pleading expression he sighed and followed Sia to a private room. Once they reached the room, Sia whispered something to An Ran and sent her away from there. Now only Sia and Mr. An Ran remained inside the room.
"Mr. An please take a seat" Sia gestured to Mr. An to take a seat while she sat on the opposite side and started to brew tea for Mr. An.
observing Sia's action, Mr. An asked "Ms. Sia, may I know what did you want to speak with me so personally?" unlike earlier, Mr. An's voice wasn't that pleasant and he seemed to be on his guard. It wasn't that difficult to guess that Mr. An was speaking to Sia respectfully was only because he wanted to give a face to his baby daughter or else he wouldn't bother to speak with a youngster like Sia.
With a faint smile, Sia wasn't at all offended and continued to brew the tea patiently while she answered "Mr. An relax, things like this cannot be rushed. You will eventually know about the thing I wanted to say to you"
"oh, of then may I know why did you send my daughter away instead of letting her stay? you can answer this question at least I guess?" Mr. An asked with a faint smile
With a faint chuckle, Sia replied politely "the reason I sent your daughter away is not that I don't want her to know what we speak but its because there are some things that's not good for your daughter to hear"
Hearing Sia's words, Mr. An slightly raised his eyebrows and looked at Sia with some interest.
After brewing the tea, Sia passed the cup to Mr. An politely and said "Mr. An please"
Taking the cup of tea handed over by Sia, Mr. An took a sip before placing it down.
Leaning back on the chair, he crossed his legs and looked at seriously and said "Ms. Sia I hope you won't make me wait for too long. You know its not good for both of us"
"I know" Sia replied with a smile "I don't have any intention to make you wait for too long but Mr. An, I hope you will remain calm and hear me out patiently"
Placing the dup down, Sia looked up at Mr. An and her previous smiling face disappeared and was instead replaced by a cold and serious face which stunned even Mr. An.
With a deadpan face, Sia spoke "Mr. An, if I'm not wrong your daughter must have not said you about something major that happened during the weekend, am I right?"
"Weekend? No, I did not hear anything serious from her. She just spoke about her good days and about her friends" Mr. An answered with a frown
With a chuckle, Sia mumbled "As expected, I would do the same if I was her but we are different"
Feeling something amiss, Mr. An asked "Ms. Sia, can you please tell me what is that my daughter is hiding from me?"
"Mr. An, on Saturday the previous week, your daughter was kidnapped" Sia replied with a straight face
"What!" shocked, Mr. An suddenly stood up from his chair.
Looking at Mr. An expressionlessly, Sia reminded "Mr. An, I suggest you remain calm and hear me out first and not act in impulse"
"After hearing that my daughter was kidnapped, how do you expect me to remain calm and sit still?" Mr. An argued
"Mr. An, as I said please hear me out calmly. If you behave like this then I will have no choice but to stop speaking further" Sia threatened in a low voice.
After hearing Sia's words, Mr. An took a deep breath to calm down his racing heart. Heaving sigh, he sat down and apologized "Ms. Sis, sorry for my impulsive behavior"
Shaking her head, Sia replied "You don't have to, It's natural for any father to have such a reaction but I just hope that you can remain calm and here me out completely"
"Okay...Ms. Sia, please continue"
"Infact, it was not only An Ran who was kidnapped, the young miss of the Su family, Su Yan, an orphan Xiao Li and myself, we were also kidnapped along with An Ran. To be precise, we were not kidnapped, it is I who let them kidnap us"
"What do you mean?" Mr. An asked with a frown
