Chapter 263 - The Child's Mother Will Be Released Early
Noticing the man who had appeared at the door, Shen Fanxing rose.
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
She walked up to Linlin and bent to stroke his head.
"Let's go. I will bring you out for a breather," said Shen Fanxing as she carried Linlin.
Bo Jinchuan frowned slightly as he walked towards Shen Fanxing.
"You were the one playing the piano just now?"
"Yeah, that's right."
"Why did you hug him?"
His voice was deep and cold as he reached out to remove the child out of Shen Fanxing's embrace. His eyes were fixated on the child in her arms.
Yet, when he saw the child's face, his brows furrowed even more.
His gaze landed on Linlin's face for several seconds, and his eyes darkened.
"Don't…"
Shen Fanxing stopped Bo Jinchuan and pointed at Linlin's eyes, while shaking her head at him.
Bo Jinchuan understood and his gaze landed on the child's eyes before he retracted his hand.

It was getting dark and Yu Song had to leave early. Bo Jinchuan walked to the car.
When the director sent Shen Fanxing off, they chatted about Linlin.
"Linlin seems to be in a good mood today. It seems that he really likes Ji Yi."
The director smiled and shook his head. "Not necessarily. His mother got someone to send a message. Because of her good behaviour in the past few years, she's going to be released early. It might be within these few days."
"Really? That's great."
Shen Fanxing was sincerely happy that Lin Lin was finally going to meet his mother, whom he had missed dearly.
In this world, there was no relationship that could replace or surpass a mother and her child.
Even though Linlin had no recollection of his mother, the person he wanted to see the most was still her.
The director nodded happily and replied, "Yes, that's good news indeed. It's a pity that Linlin can't see what his mother looks like…"
The director was a kind-hearted man. He felt a little emotional at the thought of how the hard times had finally almost ended..
Shen Fanxing pressed her lips and said, "Compared to those children who can never find their parents, he's considered lucky…"
The director sighed and said, "We should think on the bright side."
Bo Jinchuan drove over and Shen Fanxing bade the director farewell before getting into the car.
"That child is an orphan?"
Bo Jinchuan refrained from using sensitive words in front of the child.
"No, his mother is still alive."
Bo Jinchuan pressed his lips and stared at the road ahead silently. After a long while, he asked,
"What about his father?"
His voice was so low that Shen Fanxing couldn't help but turn her head to look at him. His dashing face displayed rare sternness.
"Why are you so concerned? Is Linlin your…"
Bo Jinchuan jerked his head and glowered at her coldly. The warning in his eyes caused Shen Fanxing's heart to skip a beat.
"I don't know who the father is. I don't even know who his mother is. I only know that she's in prison."
Bo Jinchuan narrowed his eyes and remained mum, seemingly in deep thought.
Shen Fanxing gazed at him intently, and her face grew solemn.
"Bo Jinchuan, don't tell me that the child has something to do with you…"
There was an obvious coldness in her voice.. Bo Jinchuan stared at her, and the guardedness and wariness in her eyes resulted in his heart turning cold.
