In the moment the nanny opened the door, we snuck into the downstairs storeroom.

I perked up my ears to listen for any movement outside.

Usually at this time, I would be sleeping, and the nanny wouldn't come up until around five in the evening.

Soon, I heard the sound of the TV turning on in the living room.

The nanny put on a cartoon for the little boy and then began cleaning the room.

I guessed that she didn't hire anyone else to keep my secret, so she did all the household chores herself.

"Tang Mi, did you come here alone?"

Tang Mi gave me a blank look.

"Do you think I'm that stupid? I didn't drive the car in, I just parked nearby! My two cousins are waiting in the car at all times!"

I nodded.

In a little while, the nanny would be preparing lunch.

Her trip to the kitchen would be the perfect opportunity for us to escape.

When the sound of clanging dishes came from the kitchen, Tang Mi carried me and we started heading out.

As we passed by the living room, the little boy glanced at us.

I gestured for him to stay silent, and he indeed didn't make a sound.

When we rushed out of the villa, Tang Mi's two cousins were already waiting at the front gate.

They quickly threw me into the car, and my frail body almost fell apart, but I didn't have time to care about that.

The car quickly started, but before we could leave the villa area, we encountered Zhou Yang's car.

The two cars just barely brushed past each other, and I quickly lowered my head.

Zhou Yang suddenly made a U-turn and followed our car.

Oh no!

He recognized Tang Mi's car!

Tang Mi also realized this.

"Damn it! That bastard recognized me!"

Tang Mi hit the accelerator and sped up.

"Mian Mian, he was on the phone earlier, he must have confirmed it with the nanny! What do we do now?"

"Shake him off! Let's go to our secret hideaway!"

Our secret hideaway was the small apartment that Tang Mi and I had bought together. We would often hide out there when we had nothing to do.

The car was speeding so fast that I couldn't handle it and fell into a deep sleep.

When I woke up again, it was already evening.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw Tang Mi's face magnified in front of me.

"Mian Mian, you finally woke up! Are you thirsty? Hungry? What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you!"

She tried to hold back her tears because she didn't want me to feel sad.

But her swollen eyes had already given her away.

This silly girl must have secretly cried just now!

"Make me some porridge, I want to drink the red date porridge you make."

In less than two minutes, Tang Mi came back from the kitchen with a small bowl of porridge in her hand.

"I knew you would want this, so I prepared it in advance! I've been simmering it for an hour and a half, so you have to drink two bowls!"

As the sweet porridge entered my mouth, tears also uncontrollably fell.

The tight string in my heart suddenly loosened.

After finishing the porridge, I told her everything and all my speculations.

Although she didn't say it out loud, I'm sure she cursed Zhou Yang and the nanny in her heart.

"Mian Mian, should we really not call the police?"

"No."

We can't call the police until we have enough evidence.

Zhou Yang and I are married, and if he insists that I'm mentally unstable, and with me having no parents, it is certain that I will be sent to him.

"But Zhou Yang will probably find out about this place soon."

I'm not worried about that.

I've already left that home, and Zhou Yang won't dare to confront me head-on anymore.

He also won't dare to call the police.

Based on what I know about him, he will try to use emotions against me.

Or, use our daughter and make a deal with me.

But I guessed wrong.

The next day, the police came to our door!
