“Nala Yao…” Leon’s voice suddenly sounded helpless.
I still had no answer, and I didn’t turn back. I was afraid I couldn’t help telling him that I didn’t even know this guy, and he was not my boyfriend.
After a long walk, I couldn’t help looking back and I saw Leon still standing there, facing me.
I felt the tears fill my eyes, so I lifted my head quickly to prevent them from flowing down.
“Are you a tourist?” asked the man next to me.
It suddenly occurred to me that I was about to meet the guide. I forgot to turn my phone on when I got off the plane. I was afraid the guide was looking for me crazily.
“Yes, I come with a group. I have to find my guide. Thank you for helping me just now. “I said to the man.
“It’s my pleasure. I’m glad to meet you, Miss Yao. My name is Chen You.” He held out his hand.
“So you know Leon. Then you should know…”
I was going to say, “You should know my relationship with Leon, too.” but I didn’t finish my words and I felt it hard for me to say it.
“Hua’s Group is very famous in Hai City. Anyone with a little common sense will know you. I know that Miss Yao used to be Mr. Hua’s wife.”
From what Chen You said, I thought he knew about my jail time as well. But I didn’t care if he knew it.
“I’ve actually heard your name. I just don’t expect that you are so young and pretty. That’s why I didn’t recognize you on the plane.” Chen said again.
I didn’t have time to talk to him any longer, I had to find the guide. Maybe these ladies were going to yell at me if I made a tour group wait for me too long.
I turned on my phone and called the guide. The guide told me that I didn’t show up on time and so they had gone to the hotel first and sent me the address. The guide let me take cab to the hotel.
I expressed my apologies to the guide and explained my reasons for not being on time. Then I was going to go over there now and met them.
After I hung up the phone, the guide quickly sent me the name and address of the hotel. Chen had been walking slowly beside me, and he had heard what I had called about.
“Goodbye, Mr. Chen. I’ve got to get to the hotel.”
“Can we leave a contact? How about Wechat?” He said.
I had no reason to refuse him, so I had to exchange Wechat ID with him.
“Miss Yao, we will see each other again. Then I’ll invite you to dinner when we return to Yang City.” After he said that, he waved at me.
I smiled and waved my hand too, and then I walked to the taxi area of the airport to get a cab.
At the hotel, my guide was waiting for me in the lobby. She explained to me that she didn’t wait for me at the airport because the wait was a little long and the other members of the group got a little impatient, so they left first.
She also said she could reimburse me for the cab fare. I know she actually hoped that I wouldn’t complain about her.
I told him that this was already my own fault and told her not to worry about it and I would never complain about her.
Then she relented and let me go back to my room for a rest and then eat later in the restaurant.
But when I went to look for my room, I found that there was no room number for me. Then the guide called the company and they told me that my hotel was not with them but was in another hotel.
The guide wanted to call a taxi to take me there, but I refused. I didn’t want to bother her, so I decided to take a taxi to the hotel myself.
The guide was still unsure and insisted on doing this. After she made sure I wouldn’t complain about her, she agreed to make my own taxi to go.
I took a taxi to the hotel that had been specially arranged for me and I found that it was a six-star hotel, which was indeed much better than the previous one. I knew it must be prepared by Wenbei Su.
After I finished registering in the lobby, I took the elevator to the third floor and found my room.
The room was so big, which was a luxury for me to stay alone. Lying in bed after a shower, I couldn’t believe Leon’s face came back to my mind.
I felt like I was crazy. Why did I miss him? I didn’t have anything to do with him anymore now. The only connection between us was that my son was still with him.
I felt despondent in my heart. I wasn’t in the mood to eat either, I just wanted to stay in bed.
Then I fell asleep soon. I had a strange dream that Leon and Ruoxin Chen were married. There were still the same guests on the lawn of the Villa of Hua Family. I rushed at Leon to ask him to come with me, but he coldly refused. He told me to f**k off, he said that he and I were divorced and that we had no chance of being together.
But I still clung to his leg with a death grip, begging him not to marry Ruoxin Chen. But he pulled me away and told me to get out of there.
I cried a lot. It wasn’t until I woke up that I realized my face was full of tears and my pillow was still wet.
I was awake, but that sadness didn’t go away. I felt my chest tight and sat alone on my bed, feeling incredibly lost. At that moment I actually had the urge to call Leon and ask him if he was really married to Ruoxin Chen.
And then my phone rang, and it was really Leon. When I got out of the jail, I used the same phone number. I didn’t know who paid my phone bill the whole time when I was in the prison, and I couldn’t believe that my phone still had the service.
I stared at the familiar number on my phone screen, a string of numbers I knew very well, though there was no note of name.
The phone kept vibrating and I just looked at it, wondering if I should answer it. Finally, I ended up answering the phone.
“Where are you?” Leon asked directly.
“How’s Alex?” I ask the question I most want to ask Leon.
“I’ll tell you when you come to see me.” Leon said.
I wanted to know about Alex, but I didn’t want to see Leon. I was afraid I would be reluctant to leave him again when I saw him. I was afraid I would forget how merciless he abandoned me.
“I don’t have time and I don’t want to see you either, so for the sake of my being Alex’s mother, tell me about him, please.” I begged him.
“Do you hate me so much? You still hate me now?” He sighed.
He was the one who wanted to divorce me and never visited me in jail during a year or so, and now he was asking why I hated him. If I hated him, didn’t he deserve it?
“How’s Alex? Is he good?” I asked.
“He’s fine, he’s in America now and I hire the best teachers to teach him.”
“Alex is so young, how can you bear to send him abroad? He’s poor enough without a mother’s love, why do you leave him without a father’s love? Are you worried that Alex will influence you to marry another woman?” I couldn’t help but yell at him through the phone.
“I’ll explain this later, but it’s not what you think.” said Leon.
