*Runze's POV*
The nursery clock reads three-twenty in the afternoon when my phone vibrates in my pocket.
I am sitting on the edge of the low nursing armchair with Siying resting across my thighs, her tiny legs twitching inside her swaddle as she finishes off her bottle. Her eyes are fixed on the white ceiling light, her mouth making steady, eager swallowing sounds around the rubber nipple.
I keep one hand behind her head, using my shoulder to balance the small bottle, and reach into my pocket with my free hand.
It's Liang Feng.
I slide the screen open and put the phone to my ear, keeping my voice low so I don't disturb Siying's pace.
"Yes, Liang Feng?"
"Young Master Runze." There's a brief pause before Liang Feng continues, like he's choosing his words carefully. "I'm calling about Young Master Ling. An Alpha came into the boutique while he was inside. They came out together, and the Alpha was… he was carrying Young Master Ling, to a car that was already waiting outside."
