Lan Yu Feng was noncommittally silent, his entire body leaning against the backseat, his hand propped up on his lower jaw, his brows furrowed tightly. It was only after a long time that he instructed Yan Nan, “Wander around along this street and see if you can find her.”
Running out of the hospital and looking at the remnants of the twilight, Zi Ge only felt an immense heaviness in her heart, so stuffy that it made her a little breathless. After walking through a few alleys and crossing a few parks, she had already forgotten. She only knew to aimlessly walk forward.
It was rush hour, and her thin figure was quickly drowned in the crowd.
Walking past a bench on the street, she finally felt tired before sitting down. Overhead, neon lights began to flicker, so she tilted her head back and stared blankly at the bright stream of light.
At this moment, the embrace between Lan Yu Feng and Zhuo Yunruo uncontrollably surfaced in his mind. Can’t help but recall that wrong kiss that night, and his most cruel words …
Zi Ge didn’t know what was wrong with her, she only felt a stuffy pain in her chest, and even her eyes were a bit astringent.
The cell phone in her bag rang several times, and it wasn’t until someone passing by alerted her that she snapped out of it.
Flipping out the cell phone, once I saw the number displayed on the screen, I only felt that the tip of my nose was sour all of a sudden. Holding the phone for a long time, finally could not resist that reluctance and picked up the phone.
“Ma’am, you haven’t arrived home yet, the young master has been worried and is about to cry.” It was the housekeeper’s voice. Without waiting for Zi Ge to speak, a child’s voice could be heard over there, “Did Mommy pick up? Give me the phone, I’ll talk to mommy!”
“Ma’am, please wait, the young master wants to speak to you.”
“Okay, thanks.” Ziggy tried to adjust her voice as much as she could so that the child wouldn’t hear anything out of the ordinary.
“Mommy, people waited for you to eat until they were about to starve to death.” The little guy’s pitiful tone instantly hit the softest part of Zi Ge’s heart, and she was instantly heartbroken.
“Little Douzi don’t wait for Mommy, be good and eat.” He’s at a time when he’s growing, how can he suffer from hunger?
I can hear how much Zhuo Yunruo loves the child, even if she is mentally abnormal, but the child is always on her mind, if she is aggrieved by the child, how to explain to his mother?
“Mommy won’t eat dinner with Little Bean?” Little Douzi looked a little frustrated. In these short periods of time, he had become very dependent on ‘Mommy’ and enjoyed clinging to her.
“I’m sorry, Mommy may not be back tonight …” she apologized quietly.
“Why?”
“Well … because Mommy is working the night shift today.” She took a deep breath and carefully lied to her child.
“So Mommy won’t be sleeping with Little Bean tonight either?”
The child’s mournful tone made it a little difficult for Zi Ge. She raised her head and looked at the streetlights overhead, forcing that somber mood back completely before she coaxed the child in a pretense of relaxation, “Well, Little Douzi has to be good and sleep well, and it’s important to get used to the days when you don’t have mommy to sleep with you …”
“Why?”
“Because …” she took a deep breath to make her tone as smooth as possible, “Later on, Little Bean will grow up, and when he grows up Mommy won’t be able to sleep with you.”
“Then it’s better if Little Bean doesn’t grow up, and stays this big, so he can always cuddle mommy to sleep.” Little Douzi innocently said.
Zi Ge lost her smile, but her heart was endlessly astringent, “Silly child.”
The child was instructed a few times before Ziggy hung up the phone. Getting on the bus, she headed straight for the rented house. Right now, she had a stomach full of things to say to Sujie.
Took the key and twisted the door, the hall was still lit. On the dining table was a meal that had already been prepared, and the aroma of dishes wafted through the air. However, there were two sets of chopsticks on the side, strangely enough, they hadn’t been started until now.
Is Sujie waiting for herself? Did she know she was coming back?
Surprised, he headed for Suje’s bedroom, only to take a step away, only to hear a series of sharp gasps from a man and a woman.
She froze, her whole body frozen on the spot.
“I didn’t realize I hadn’t seen you for a few years, but you’re still just as charming in bed … Compared to the last, last, last woman I’ve been with, you really are the most provocative …”
The man’s voice, so sexy that almost all women’s feet soft. That bath of hope out of the siren charm, simply to compel or all beings.
Zige didn’t dare to move, only subconsciously gripping the key in her hand. Following that, the all-too-familiar voice was heard, with her inherent cold arrogance.
“That can only mean that young master Su your vision is too lame. And, really good regret … you really I met the man among the bed kung fu the worst, the most lame one!”
“Is it? Then it seems that I am not enough to sell …” The man is not angry at all, but on the contrary, he is more interested, and his dark voice becomes more and more sexy.
“You fuck off … well …” Suje’s breath wheezed up with a distinctive warm flavor.
“Woman, you should be glad that you are the first one to let me have the patience to serve you in bed … Be good, don’t resist, you’ll love the feeling …”
“I don’t care for …”
“Is it? But I think you’re addicted to …”
“That’s your mistake!”
Immediately afterward, the room was extremely warm.
Zi Ge didn’t dare to take a step further, instead, she immediately brought the door with her and fled.
No one would want to be disturbed at a time like this, and she was more than likely not going to be so insensitive. It was just that, all this time, Suje had been lost in thought, and it was about this man? And who was he?
It was really completely dark when she walked the rental house. The night wrapped around her tightly as she stepped forward over a streetlight. A cool breeze came through, still surprisingly cold for the night, and she tightened the small jacket she was wearing. She hadn’t eaten anything all night, and she was a little too hungry, but, at the moment, she had no appetite at all.
Tonight, the only thing that could take her in was probably her own home.
It took more than half an hour of driving to get to the house. The door pulled open, Mo Simin opened the door to see her daughter, the bottom of her eyes were full of surprise, “Ge Ge? Why are you back at this time? Quickly enter the house, it’s cold outside! Old Meng, my daughter is back!”
Meng Yuhui was watching TV on the sofa, when he saw his daughter coming back, he got up in a hurry, “Are you on vacation tomorrow or something? It’s not safe for a girl to run around outside so late at night.”
“No vacation yet, I still have to go to work early tomorrow morning.” Zige hurriedly replied.
“Not taking a vacation and coming back so late? What your father said was, don’t come back so late in the future. Have you eaten yet? If you haven’t eaten mom will heat up the food for you, there’s still a lot left in the house.” Mo Simin answered.
“How can you have leftovers? Go fry a fresh one.” Meng Yuhui was quite unhappy that his daughter was being treated like this.
Zige instantly smiled, her heart instantly becoming warm and fuzzy. She wrapped her arms around Meng Yuhui’s shoulders in a petulant manner, “Dad, you go ahead and watch your news, and mom and I will go to the kitchen to take a look.”
“Eh, remember to have your mom get it fresh. There’s a lot of meat bought in the freezer, ask your mom to take it out and make it for you.” Meng Yuhui was still explaining.
Mo Simin was not happy, tugging at her daughter’s hand, ‘tsk tsk’ twice, laughing: “As much as you can be attentive in front of your daughter, you haven’t seen such concern for me before. Go, Zige, follow me into the kitchen, ignore him.”
Zi Ge smiled and followed to follow out. While eating, chatting with the two elders, the gloom in her heart couldn’t help but dissipate a lot.
This is truly her life …
There was no child, no Lan Yufeng, and even less Zhuo Yunruo, only blandness and quietness. So what reason did she have to stay with Lan Yu Feng?
The night is gradually falling. Because they had to go to work tomorrow, the two elders didn’t dare to chat with her much and persuaded her to go back to her room to sleep early.
After taking a shower and changing into pajamas, I lay down on my all-too-familiar cot, but I didn’t feel like sleeping at all. With the child’s breath missing from his side, it was as if a piece of his heart was vacant, and it was hard to feel empty.
She laughed bitterly.
Turning sideways and staring out the dark window, she suddenly remembered the big bed in Lan Yu Feng’s room that she and Little Bean had once slept in together.
There … should have belonged to him and Zhuo Yunruo before …
Plus the little beans.
Truly perfect for a home …
Just as Zige was rambling, the cell phone resting on the bedside rang at first. That ringtone seemed especially abrupt in the quiet night.
Her heart skipped a beat and she immediately grabbed her cell phone, hesitating to move after seeing the number flashing on the screen. The beating of her heart, too obvious, made her a little scared.
The ringtone rang again and again, she half sat up from the bed, wrapped her arms around the pillow before finally picking up the phone.
“Where?” Two short words, coming from the other end of the line, seemed unusually penetrating in the night, striking at her heart.
Ziggy took a deep breath and smoothed out the hair that hung down by her cheeks, “I’ll be back tomorrow, and I think we might need to talk.”
“I asked where you were.” As if he didn’t hear her words, Lan Yu Feng only asked his own question. The tone of his voice was flat, and he couldn’t hear the slightest rise or fall of emotions. It was as if the scene she saw today was not important to him at all.
“It doesn’t matter where I am, what matters is that it’s time for our agreement to end.” Zige heard her voice unusually bleak. She didn’t even know if the reluctance hovering at the bottom of her heart was because of the child, or something else, but, she didn’t want to delve into it at all. “I’ll say goodbye to Little Douzi tomorrow, so let’s talk about anything tomorrow. Bye!”
“I need to see you now.”
“I’m tired, hanging up.” After Zige finished speaking, she didn’t wait for Lan Yu Feng to say anything else, so she hung up the phone. After glancing at the cell phone, he finally fished over and directly removed the electric board.
Right now, anything she didn’t want to talk about, she just wanted to spend this night clearing her thoughts so that she could make the wisest decision tomorrow. Also, she had to find a way to get Lan Yu Feng to give up pestering herself.
Wrapped up in her blankets, Zige was thinking about things in a muddled way when she only suddenly heard the doorbell ring. She didn’t pay much attention to it, only pulling the covers up to hide her ears.
“How come there are still guests this late?” Mo Simin came out of the room, again raising her voice slightly with a sideways glance, “Old Meng, if you come out, you must be looking for you. Those coworkers of yours, every one of them is a night owl.”
“Eh. Coming soon!” Meng Yuhui came out wrapped in his pajamas, “I’ll take care of it, you go to sleep first.”
With that, he went to the door and pulled it open.
Mo Simin was about to go back to her room, when she saw the person at the door, her footsteps immediately stopped. Meng Yu Hui also looked at the tall and handsome man outside the door with a surprised face, “Did you knock wrong?”
“Hello guys, I’m Ziggy’s boyfriend, Lan Yu Feng.”
Inside the room, Ziggy jumped out of bed almost at once in shock.
Not caring about suiting up his clothes, he ran outside in his slippers ‘da-da’. As expected, the man who was leisurely sitting on his sofa sipping tea, who else could it be if not Lan Yu Feng?
