At 9:30 p.m., the noisy music and voices at the banquet did not stop at all, but Wen Bao'er could not resist the drowsiness and her little head rested on Mo Xuanbai's shoulder.

Her eyelids felt so heavy they were almost glued together, but she forced her eyes open, her voice soft and weak: "Big brother, when is Mommy taking Bao'er home...?"

When Mo Xuanbai heard her mention going home, he felt a strange displeasure.

If I want to take Bao'er back with me, does that count as cheating?

In his heart, Bao'er was his little toy and should return to the Mo family with him. However, he also knew that taking someone else's child away without permission was tantamount to stealing, and if his older brother Mo Xuanze found out, he would definitely scold him severely.

He pondered quietly for a moment and made up his mind: as long as Bao'er was willing to go with him, it wouldn't be considered stealing.

He gently patted the little girl's cheek with his fingertips, barely managing to wake her from her drowsiness.

Overwhelmed with drowsiness, Bao'er's eyes were swollen with faint triple eyelids. She groggily called out in a soft, sweet voice, "Big brother~"

Mo Xuanbai looked down at her and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to come to my house with your brother?"

Wen Bao'er's head was spinning, and without thinking, she nodded: "Okay~"

Having received the answer he wanted, Mo Xuanbai held the sleeping girl firmly in his arms without saying a word. He didn't even bother to say goodbye to Mo Xuanze and Wen Nuan, and carried her straight through the banquet hall doors and left.

Standing outside the door, he took out his phone and dialed the driver's number, instructing him to come and pick him up immediately and take him back to the Mo family villa.

It wasn't until Mo Xuanbai had carried Wen Bao'er away in the car for quite some time that Wen Nuan at the main table suddenly realized that the space beside her was empty; her daughter was nowhere to be seen.

Her heart tightened, and she hurriedly turned to look at Mo Xuanze beside her, her voice filled with barely concealed panic: "Mr. Mo, Bao'er is missing! She was just eating at the children's table!"

Wen Nuan looked around in a panic. The huge banquet hall was bustling with guests, and there were unfamiliar faces everywhere. The thought of her daughter being lost made her hands and feet turn cold.

Mo Xuanze was originally certain that Xuanbai would stay quietly in the children's area with Bao'er, but in reality, it was Bao'er who was with him!

After all, this banquet was only held because Xuan Bai was so eager to see Bao'er, so he specially asked Wen Nuan to bring the child.

But when he turned his head and glanced at the children's table, all that was left were scattered desserts, and Xuan Bai had vanished without a trace.

This is a serious matter; losing Xuanbai is no small thing.

Mo Xuanze frowned deeply, feeling helpless, and threw another tantrum, running away from home.

Wen Nuan could no longer sit still. She got up and ran back and forth between the different areas, constantly calling out softly, "Bao'er, Bao'er."

"Don't scare Mommy, okay..."

Panic gripped her heart. Bao'er was too young, and the banquet was a mixed bag of people. She couldn't help but have wild thoughts, fearing that her daughter would be kidnapped by someone with ill intentions.

Mo Xuanze immediately contacted the banquet organizers, gave them a brief explanation, and ended the banquet early.

The two split up; Wen Nuan stayed in the lobby searching around, while Mo Xuanze went straight to the surveillance room to retrieve the video footage.

The surveillance footage clearly recorded the scene from half an hour ago: Mo Xuanbai was holding the sleeping Wen Bao'er in his arms, waiting outside the banquet hall. Not long after, a black car stopped by the roadside and picked them up.

Mo Xuanze recognized it at a glance as his personal driver's car. His heart, which had been hanging in suspense, eased slightly, and he quickly took out his phone to send a message to Wen Nuan.

The person has been found, no need to worry.

My younger brother took Bao'er home. The child was very sleepy, and he didn't have time to tell us.

The moment I saw the message, my tense heart finally settled down, but the anger that had been building up inside me didn't subside at all.

She finally saw through him completely: President Mo's younger brother was a troublemaker who always caused problems, and there was never any peace whenever she ran into him.

He clung to Bao'er from the very first meeting and wouldn't let go, even bullying the little girl.

Even if Bao'er wanted to go to the Mo family last time, she should have said goodbye to her mother before leaving.

This time, they took the person away without saying a word, which is no different from abducting a child.

Wen Nuan secretly made up her mind that she would have to give Bao'er a good talking-to later, so that she would have less contact with the two Mo brothers and that she would not go with them.

At this moment, in her mind, the brothers' behavior had crossed her bottom line, and they were almost no different from human traffickers with ulterior motives.

The red light is on!

On the other side, Mo Xuanze was also filled with helplessness, knowing that Xuanbai had gone too far this time.

Taking the child away without a word of explanation would terrify any mother. He could even guess that Wen Nuan probably already considered the brothers to be people with ulterior motives.

Inside the bedroom of the Mo family villa, Mo Xuanbai carefully placed Wen Bao'er on his large bed and gently covered her with a soft quilt.

The little girl curled up peacefully in the blankets.

He squatted by the bed, his eyes filled with possessiveness. In his heart, Bao'er was a little toy that belonged only to him.

Before he could look around for long, he heard footsteps and conversations outside the door.

Wen Nuan, who had been holding back her anxiety and dissatisfaction all the way, couldn't wait to speak as soon as she entered the door, her tone tense: "Mr. Mo, where is my daughter? I need to take her home right now."

Mo Xuanze looked up at Xuanbai's bedroom at the end of the corridor. The door was ajar, and Mo Xuanbai was peeking out from behind it with half his face hidden.

Seeing Bao'er's mother with his older brother, the boy's heart immediately went into overdrive.

They came to steal his little toys.

He will never let go; no one can take Bao'er away.

Mo Xuanze stood silently in place, his mind racing as he tried to come up with a solution to his impulsive and reckless younger brother.

But Wen Nuan's eyes were sharp, and she spotted the slightly ajar door at a glance. She went straight forward and reached out to push the door open.

Upon seeing this, Mo Xuanbai, who was inside the door, immediately raised his hand and slammed the door shut, bracing it against the door panel.

Bao'er belongs to him; no one can take her away. She can only belong to him.

Wen Nuan gently knocked on the door, her voice filled with suppressed anxiety: "Open the door and give me back my daughter."

She softened her voice and called into the house, "Baby, Mommy's here. Come home with Mommy, okay?"

"Baby, be good. Tell your big brother to open the door so we can go home."

The door remained firmly shut, but Wen Bao'er, who was fast asleep in bed, was awakened by the noise outside.

The little girl rubbed her sleepy eyes and slowly pushed herself up from under the covers.

Mo Xuanbai strode to the bedside, looked at her with stubborn eyes, and commanded in a low voice, "Sleep!"

Wen Bao'er tilted her head, looking bewildered: "Big brother, I heard my mother's voice. My mother came to find me."

Wen Nuan raised her voice, her tone filled with anxiety and displeasure, and knocked on the door repeatedly: "Bao'er is inside, open the door and give me back my daughter."

"Baby, Mommy's here!"

Mo Xuanze stood to the side, looking at the tightly closed door, and carefully suggested, "Assistant Wen, why don't you let Bao'er stay here tonight, and I'll have the driver take you back tomorrow morning?"

Wen Nuan suddenly looked up at him, her eyes filled with wariness and resistance.

She was already terrified when Mo Xuanbai took the child away without a word. Now that Mo Xuanze wanted to let Bao'er stay overnight, she felt that the two brothers' actions were no different from child abduction. She dared not leave her daughter alone at the Mo family home.

Mo Xuanze added, "If you're worried, you can stay here..."
