Shit, Sea Gu was so angry that she slammed her cell phone to the side. Ever since she became the head of the city’s construction department, Sea Gu has felt a dark cloud over her head, and nothing has ever gone smoothly. The last time she went through a trial, she was stuck here for several days, and the reason was actually because she was in a bad mood!
This demon! A great evil! When you’re in a bad mood, you toss him! And when he’s in a good mood, he’s still in a bad mood! She’s trying to give him a hard time! For the sake of the approval, does he still have to provide for her like a living Buddha? But it’s really too difficult to make her feel neither bad nor good, right?
…
The more Sea Gu thought about it, the more he sulked, and he hated that he couldn’t drag that demon, the Original Shadow, out to give her a violent beating, so that she wouldn’t be so arrogant. The good mood of the whole day was ruined, well …
Zoey smiled as she appeared at the exit, and his mood lifted. All that anger he had just composted dissipated in a flash, and he desperately waved the flowers in his hand at her.
He, standing in the crowd was exceptionally conspicuous. He was long and tall, and at a glance, it was hard to ignore him, especially with his handsome face. Zoey saw him at a glance, and after eight months, he hadn’t changed a bit.
Wild and high profile, spirited … “For you!” When she got closer, Sea Gu took the flowers in her hand and stuffed her full of them.
Even after eight months of not seeing each other, the two were not at all rusty. He hadn’t given her half a word of welcome either, and had long ago crouched down to tease the two children.
“Remember Uncle?”
“Remember, Uncle Handsome.” Nini was having another attack of her nymphomaniacal skills and booped him on the cheek.
He smiles broadly. Taking Nini in his arms, he asked KK, “My son should still be fine, right?”
“Don’t worry, Bai is my buddy, I have treat him well.” KK righteously patted his little chest in assurance, causing Sea Gu to lose his smile.
She stood up with her two children in her arms and looked at Zoeyevenly. Her eyes were fixed on her face for a long time, Zoey was uncomfortable with her look and lowered her head to look at herself, “What are you looking at?”
It made her heart flutter to see it.
Sea Gu just laughed, “Thought I’d come to pick up the plane this time and see an older woman in a black robe, wrapped in a turban, with only one eye showing.”
“Hey!” Who’s the older woman? She glanced at him with displeasure.
He then smiled, “It seems that Arabia is still a good place to raise people, eight months have not seen, raised themselves so beautiful, in Arabia must be through the four sides, right? Have you found a father for your children?”
Zoey smiles and shakes her head, “Nah, that place doesn’t suit me, it suits you.”
Sea Gu paused for a moment, and then, following, threw back his head and laughed. “OH! I almost forgot, you can get four wives there, and just for the perks, it looks like I really should get a Qatari citizenship too.”
Returning to this familiar city, Zoey was overcome with emotion. Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar streets, Zoey realized that eight months was actually a very long time. However, even after such a long period of time, the feelings could not be buried.
Isn’t it true that who you fall in love with is also already predestined by God? No matter how many men you will meet in this world, but can let you carve your bones, let you learn to love, but always only that one. When you meet him, the sky is not panic, the earth is not old. Lose him, the world is a gray.
This feeling really made her feel powerless. Yet, it was also like a cage that could not be broken free.
“Why did you suddenly come back to the country? Didn’t you decide to come back for the New Year?” Sea Gu asked as he turned on the heater. The two children in the back seat, tired from the airplane ride, had already fallen asleep with their heads tilted.
“Escaped back.” She smiled bitterly and told the truth frankly. Sea Gu raised an eyebrow in surprise, “Did you seduce many married men and get hunted down?” . “Can’t you be decent? The children are in the back!”
“That’s the only, most decent reason I can come up with in this brain.” He really couldn’t be blamed, only his experiences. When he was young and vigorous, he had hooked up with I don’t know how many beautiful young women, and as a result, he was hunted down by their husbands on various occasions, and that image still makes his heart palpitate when he thinks about it even now.
Zoey sighed helplessly. Indeed, she couldn’t hold out decent hope for him. “I was avoiding him, so I came back.” She told him frankly. As a friend, he was a good listener. Sea Gu paused for a moment, and then, gave a long ‘oh’ of realization.
“He went to Qatar to see you?”
“Not really looking for me, it just so happens that their company and ours are working together on a project.” Zoey explained.
Sea Gu swept her a glance and saw the despondency between her brows, he skimmed his lips, “Look at you, it’s the defense that’s breaking down.”
Zoey kept her head down and didn’t make a sound. She was in a complete mess, and she didn’t know what she really wanted. He had cost her so much and taught her to hate, but could hate cover everything?
“It’s not unfathomable that you’d be shaken. After all, the man’s methods are not ordinary. But …,” Sea Gu glanced at the child in the rearview mirror and then glanced at him again, and reminded very sincerely, “If he takes the child, it’s the same as siphoning off your chance to live. You have to remember to leave yourself a way back, don’t be stupid like you were before.”
Sea Gu’s words sank deep into her heart. For a long time, Zoey didn’t say anything. The streetlights outside the window swept across her face, shedding patches of gray.
…
“Mr. Xiao?”
“Mr. Xiao?”
Jerry Xiao only came back to his senses when Afon called out for the 4th time, he looked at Afon a little confused, “What?”
“This is already the 3rd time the president has wandered off today.” Ah Feng looked at him with some concern, “Why don’t you, leave this place to us and the president go take a rest?”
Jerry Xiao has never been in such a situation. He, who had always been clear in public and private affairs, would not allow himself to drop the ball on his work. Especially, this time the project was so important.
But, ever since Zoey left with the baby, he’s been distracted, even fidgety. At first, he thought he could be generous enough to give her enough time to calm down and think things through, but now he realized he just couldn’t.
It had only been a few hours since he’d seen her, and he was already having a hard time with it. He was going back, whether he saw her or not, at least, he was going to stay under the same sky with her. When he really wanted her more than he could bear, he could drive over and see her in a few minutes.
“Book me a ticket back to my home country.” He suddenly popped out this sentence, causing Afon to freeze for a full two seconds. And then, immediately nodded his head and sighed in relief, “Good. I’ll make the call right away. The work here, just leave it to me.”
Going back is best! He stays here, waterlogged and his condition could deteriorate at any time – and that’s a bad thing.
Taking advantage of the break, Feng immediately called and booked a ticket for the latest flight.
…
“Zoey , go with mom to the mall today, buy some new clothes for the kids and try yours on. It’s time for New Year’s Eve again.” Yami Hu while arranging the newly delivered flowers in a vase.
Zoey takes all the gifts she brought back from last night and divides them up. Hearing her mother talking to her, she turned her head sideways, “Uh, I’ll accompany you. It’s early in the morning, why is there no sign of dad either?”
“Your dad, huh? Took those two kids out for a morning run.”
“A morning jog?” Zoey thought it was strange, “Since when does Dad have that kind of leisure time?”
Yami Hu raised his head and smiled, “Your father has nothing to do, anyway, he is idle. Now he’s just a shareholder, the company doesn’t need him to worry about it, he doesn’t even attend the shareholders’ meeting. Besides exercising, what else can he do?”
Yami Hu seemed to have been very frank when he said this. However, Zoey naturally knew that there were some things that were still buried in her heart. Her mother said it so easily, but she just didn’t want to make things difficult for her.
Once her godmother asked her if she wanted to get the Baker family back for her, she knew her godmother’s tactics, as long as she nodded her head, her godmother had all the means to get the Baker family back in her hands. However, she shook her head and refused.
She had owed the Xiao Family, her father had owed the Xiao Family, and what she was going through now was nothing more than revenge.
If everything could be, it would be better to end all this entanglement, in her hands.
…
Zoey and her mother shopped all over the mall, picking out a lot of clothes in their hands.
“Mom, you bought the kids’, Dad’s, and you didn’t even leave my brother’s?” Zoey was speechless. It’s a good thing that you can store them in the mall. Otherwise, I would really have to mention that my hands are broken.
“Your brother is coming back for New Year’s, how can you not have new clothes to wear for New Year’s? You’re still missing yours, let’s go pick them out.”
“Not only is it still short of mine, it’s short of yours too, so I’ll pick it out for you first.”
“Right oh! I almost forgot about it! My memory is getting worse with age.” Yami Hu laughed at herself. Yami Hu laughed at herself. Zoey held her arm, “Mom, you miss your brother, don’t you?”
Yami Hu was plucking rows and rows of clothes. When she heard her daughter ask this question, she paused for a moment, and then continued to pick out the clothes without much concern, “What are you thinking about? It’s not like I’m not coming back. I’ll see you in a few days.”
Zoey laughs and can’t help but deliberately tease her, “Didn’t I tell you? When I came back, my brother and I said that he was too busy with work this year and couldn’t come back to spend New Year’s Eve with you two.”
Yami Hu motioned, his face rising in unhappiness. “Not happy, are you?”
Yami Hu didn’t even want to say anything, just grunted. zoey laughed and put her hands on her shoulders, “see, you still say you don’t miss it. Mom, I lied to you. Brother has wanted to come back for a long time, but now he can’t leave, but he will definitely come back for the New Year?”
Sure enough, listening to Zoey’s words, Yami Hu instantly cleared the air. Looking sideways at her daughter, “Your brother really wants to come back?”
“Hmm. Isn’t this an effort to expand the business into the country? When that time comes, and Godmother comes back, our big family will really be considered reunited.”
“Yes, it couldn’t be better for everyone to be together. All that’s left is for you to find me a good son-in-law, and for your brother to pick a good daughter-in-law for your godmother and me! If these two things come to fruition, this family will be truly complete!”
Zoey smiles a little awkwardly and walks off to the side and grabs a dress, “Mom, come try this on, it’ll look great on you.”
Yami Hu was helpless and glared at her daughter, “You and your brother are really the same. I should have listened to your godmother and forced you and Owen to get married.”
“Mom, how did you become as sexual as your godmother? That’s brother! Have you ever seen anyone marry their own brother?” Zoey looked like she was about to get into a fight with her.
