KK was just as smug as she was.
The strange children obviously could not accept their sudden appearance of ‘daddy’ and looked at Jerry Xiao, “Uncle, are you really their daddy?”
Jerry Xiao nodded his head almost immediately. “Well, that’s right.”
“Hmph!” Nini snorted coldly at him.
When the bell rang, Jerry Xiao bent down and put the two children off his shoulders. Rubbing the two little heads, “Okay, go in to class and don’t skip class anymore.”
“Yes, daddy!” The two little ones answered in unison, crisp and joyful.
Zoey’s heart ‘thumped’.
Did these two little ones move him out of the way by mistake, or did all three really find out about their relationship with each other?
As he saw the children enter the classroom and Jerry Xiao turn around, Zoey’s anxiety grew.
It was almost as if he had fallen away and tried to leave, but he had already turned around and his eyes, cast towards her. Seeing that it was her, a flash of surprise flashed across the bottom of those deep eyes, but soon, it returned to quiet. The ripples are almost indifferent.
And then, he looked at her and took a step towards her. She expected him to pause, and even, she had already thought of what to say to him, such as: congratulations to him and Nabi …
But he didn’t even pause for a second, just, with her, brushed by, cold, even his arms were stiff.
Her look, became, very dark, very dark …
It seems that they really, thus … became strangers …
Jerry Xiao took a big step, forcing himself not to turn back. He stepped up another step, afraid that if he slowed down a bit more, he would turn around.
She, how did she appear here?
He really wanted to ask.
But, he held back. Only faster, he walked into the parking lot and got into his car.
The mood that had easily become slightly better because of the children was instantly shattered by her sudden appearance.
Damn it!
She obviously did nothing, said nothing, just a simple brush, why should she affect his emotions like this?
In this season, the weather in the city can change very quickly, and when Zoey came out of school, it was raining lightly.
She didn’t have an umbrella with her, so she had to just stand on the side of the road, her mind in turmoil.
Why did the children suddenly appear with him? I can see that he dotes on those two little ones. Perhaps, this is the meditation blood is thicker than water …
…
Jerry Xiao drove his car all the way out of the school, and even though he didn’t pay special attention, he still saw the figure frozen in the rain at a glance.
The rain, it seems, is getting heavier and heavier.
He turned on the windshield wiper and drove the car slowly past her as if he was not paying attention. But she, still motionless, even, even the head did not tilt, just standing there dazed.
Seems to be waiting for a cab, but the cab has passed several, and she has not moved.
Just stand frozen in the rain.
Jerry Xiao forced himself to pull his eyes back from the rearview mirror, suddenly stepped on the gas pedal, and drove the car fast all of a sudden.
In just a blink of an eye, it had already passed her by several hundred meters.
If you drive a little further, she will completely disappear before your eyes.
The foot, obviously to step on the gas, but only to hear the “squeak -” sound, somehow fell on the brake.
Damn!
He did not know whether he was angry with himself, or angry with Zoey , low curses, suddenly turned the car around and flew back towards the original road. His face was as sullen as ice.
What the hell!
…
Zoey’s thoughts were interrupted by a strong gust of wind. There was a sharp ‘squeak-‘ and the black business car stopped beside her with a sharp brake.
She was startled.
The window slowly lowered, revealing a face that was a few degrees colder than ice, “Get in!”
Two concise words, no emotional ups and downs, just a cold, hard command.
Zoey was slightly stunned, not expecting him to invite himself.
Jerry Xiao saw that she did not move, his eyebrows wrinkled, the deeper his eyes, showing a few impatience, “Want to come up?”
Zoey’s hair was already drenched from the rain. She didn’t refuse, so she pulled open the car door and got in. The two of them, perhaps, can take this opportunity to talk alone. At the very least, she should find out if he already knows about the baby.
She got in the car …
Her breath, spreading into the carriage, those cold and hard breath seems to be washed away in an instant, becoming much softer.
Jerry Xiao’s face, too, inexplicably eased up a bit. He didn’t give her a sideways glance, just focused on the road and redirected the car to the right road.
Jerry Xiao looked into his hand and found a dry towel from somewhere, and didn’t look at her, but just handed it over to Zoey.
What a stupid woman!
This season to get wet, most likely to hurt the body and bones. She did not think so.
Zoey froze for a moment as the dry towel was handed to her. And then, she gently took it, “Thank you.”
Jerry Xiao still didn’t say anything, just pursed his lips indifferently. zoey felt he should say something to break the silence, “Where are you going? We might not be going the same way.”
“Where are you going?” No answer to her, just a rhetorical question.
“I wanted to go to the hospital to see Nabi. i heard, she’s back.”
“Yeah.” Zoey wiped her hair and gave him a sideways glance before asking, “What are you doing here?”
“I should be the one asking you that question too.”
“I … came to see a friend’s child.” She found a reason that made sense, not forgetting to gauge his expression. Luckily, he didn’t look like he was going to be suspicious, which made Zoey breathe a heavy sigh of relief.
It seems that he doesn’t know anything about the baby.
…
The two of them are in a silent atmosphere, and Zoey can’t help but look at him sideways once in a while, but she can only see his cold side face. Jerry Xiao, who is driving seriously, is still very charming …
Heart, or unconsciously for him to lose the heart rate beating.
After a moment of silence, Zoey folded the dry towel in her hand and placed it on her lap. After a moment’s hesitation, he found his voice with difficulty, “I heard … you’re marrying her?”
Marriage? Her?
Jerry Xiao turned his face sideways and glanced at her coldly. “Who does she mean?”
Isn’t he knowingly asking the question?
“Nabi?” he continued.
Zoey only let out a soft ‘mmm’ from her nose and quietly looked away to keep the sourness from showing too much.
He sneered, “Who did you hear that from?”
He’s getting married to Nabi Yan? You didn’t even know?
“It doesn’t matter …” She looked away and tried to drop her attention to the road.
“So what’s important?” He shot back immediately.
Zoey froze for a moment, and for a moment, her eyelashes blinked vulnerably before she pursed her dry lips and spoke, “It’s important that you all be happy … …”
If they decide to be together, she will still be very sincere, very sincere blessing. Even though, how many reluctances she … has in her heart …
However, some things, not her unwillingness to change …
Her words made Jerry Xiao’s hand on the steering wheel tighten and loosen, and then pressed down again. It seems to be suppressing some emotions.
Damn, why is it so awkward to hear her say her blessings? It’s even so harsh to the ears! This woman, did she really want him to marry Nabi Yan so much?
“Don’t worry, on the wedding day, I will definitely invite you to be the guest of honor!” He said this almost through clenched teeth, his tone hard, “When the time comes, you can say as many words of blessing as you like!”
Zoey’s fingers, holding the towel, were slightly pale.
It turned out … that they were really planning to get married …. She thought, that day, she must not have the courage to go to their wedding, nor the courage to see him walk into the hall of happiness …
She, not a saint. Can also be selfish …
…
The two of them stopped talking after the end of the conversation, as if they had touched the iceberg, and Jerry Xiao felt so bored that he was agitated and depressed that he simply reached out and unscrewed the CD to listen to it.
Soothing piano music, slowly played in the carriage, but can not ease the atmosphere of the two stiff suffocation.
Good thing …
The hospital, soon after.
After Jerry Xiao stopped the car, Zoey put down the towel in her hand, said thanks and got out. She closed the car door, her heart was empty, and there was a kind of indescribable hardness. She turned around and went around to the florist and picked out a bouquet of fresh flowers before walking into the hospital wing.
After asking around, we successfully found Nabi Yan’s ward.
She was placed in the VIP ward and the whole floor was unusually quiet. Zoey looked over curiously and realized that the whole floor was empty and only Nabi was occupied in one ward.
The two nurses walked with the medicine while quietly discussing, “Miss Shu is also really happy.”
“No. A divorced woman, there can still be a man so devoted to her. I’m afraid she can’t recuperate at ease, even the whole floor is wrapped up, but also every day to run here, warm and fuzzy, and not afraid of tired. Aigoo, can envy people to death!
“If I could meet a man who treats me like this, what’s a broken leg? I’ll give him my life if he wants it!”
“Ch, people are golden bachelors, typical high wealthy handsome, we and they are not a level of. We still honestly do service work and find a reliable doctor to be realistic.”
The other party laughed, “You are right. However, this thing can not be said. We are no better than a divorced woman, but not much worse.”
“What’s wrong with being divorced? You still don’t allow people to have that good life?”
The two laughed, passed Zoey and went downstairs.
She froze for a moment, and then, lifting her lips, she patted her small face, barely squeezing out a smile before heading to the ward.
Before I entered, I saw Jerry Xiao standing by the bed through the heavy glass door, placing the flowers in a vase on the side.
Nabi Yan hugged the quilt and gazed at him with a happy face.
“Did you have breakfast today?” He asked her with his head hanging. Because his back was turned to Zoey, Zoey couldn’t see his expression clearly at this moment. But, it must be very gentle, right? And speaking, also very gentle!
“Not yet. The nurse brought it over early in the morning, but I didn’t have an appetite at that time, so I didn’t eat it. I wanted to wait for you to come over before I ate.”
He nodded, “I’ll have them send it over later.”
“Good!” Nabi Yan smiled happily, “I will eat well and try to get out of the hospital soon. But if I get out of the hospital, you can’t just leave me alone.”
“No.” His words were brief and concise. No emotion could be heard.
Zoey tightened the flowers in her hand and was about to knock on the door when Nabi Yan happened to look over.
“Zoey ?” She laughed away, “Why are you standing outside the door, hurry up and come in.”
Zoey smiled slightly and pushed the door in, subconsciously looking at Jerry Xiao, but he didn’t look up.
