Frowning, he pressed the remote control for the curtains, determined to drive it all away from his thoughts. A shrill ringtone cut through the silence of the office. Grabbing it in passing, he scanned it; it was the home number.
Eyes, sullen.
“Sir …” As expected, the butler’s voice came from the other end.
Lan Yu Feng also didn’t notice that the housekeeper had already handed the phone to Zi Ge, and without waiting for the other side to speak, he had already spoken coldly: “Let her go! No one is allowed to keep her!”
That end …
Ziggy’s hand, which was holding the phone, trembled so hard that even her heart was shaking.
Knowing that it would definitely be words like this, however, hearing them in her ears at the moment, they were like fine needles, piercing her eardrums one by one.
Until this moment, she … even made the mistake of holding the slightest expectation … thinking that this man, at least a little bit, is hoping that he will stay …
When he didn’t hear the housekeeper’s voice for a long time, Lan Yu Feng’s heart steeply sank, and his grip on the cell phone subconsciously tightened.
Sure enough … there was heavy breathing from that side …
She gasped slightly and spoke, “I will leave and, never come back. Goodbye, Lan Yu Feng!”
Goodbye …
Never, ever again …
The phone, boom, hung up. On the phone, only a ‘beeping’ busy sound remained.
Cold, monotonous …
Lan Yu Feng tightened his grip on the phone and reached out to turn the lights on.
The lights illuminated the entire room for a moment, and he closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair.
Xi Sujie looked at her who came back with a big bag and was surprised.
“What’s going on?”
She hurriedly climbed off the couch and carried her bag aside.
Ziggy lowers her head to change her shoes and her tears fall to the floor …
At the sight of it, Xi Sujie’s breath stuttered, not daring to ask more questions, and hurriedly turned around to draw paper towels.
Ziggy entered and sat on the couch, staring blankly at the TV.
Su Jie shoved a tissue in her hand and sat quietly beside her. She took the tissue, wiped her eyes, and when she haphazardly touched Sujie’s fingers, she squeezed them tightly and wouldn’t let go.
“Ziggy …,” Sisu Jie called out to her tentatively.
“Lan Yu Feng … is the man … who was there that night,” Zige huffed and spoke.
The subject of those photos?
The story seems a bit complicated.
“The child … I gave birth to back then … was not stillborn at all …” Zige took a deep breath and Tilting her head, she looked at Xi Sujie, “Sujie, do you think it’s ridiculous? He … actually bought out the hospital and made it cheat me! He carried away my child and deprived me of my right to be a mother …”
“What did I do wrong for him to do this to me?”
“I was even so thankful to him … for letting me know Little Douzi, but now … I realize that he is so hateful … “She covered her face with her hands, hiding her great sadness, anger and disappointment in her hands.
Until this moment, I didn’t realize that I was really a fool.
“Zige, don’t be … like this,” Xi Sujie gathered her in her arms and patted her trembling shoulders, “It’s a good thing that you’ve found your son. Something so worth celebrating, you should think more about it instead of thinking about that kind of stinky man who does all the bad things!”
Su Jie was not wrong. However, she now does not know whether she should be happy that the child is not only still alive and well, but also within her reach; or whether she should be disappointed that Lan Yu Feng has been concealing and deceiving himself for such a long time. …
Taking a deep breath, he decided not to think about that for now.
“Suje, I’m not staying.” She looked up and took a tissue to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, “I’m going to the hospital to see the baby. It’s been so long since I’ve been there and I’m worried he’s scared alone.”
Xi Sujie nodded, “Are you coming back for dinner? I’ll save some for you.”
“No.” Ziggy stood up, grabbing her bag hastily, “You eat first, I won’t be back tonight for a while.”
Xi Sujie followed behind, “You really, you’ve been on guard in the hospital for so many days in a row, take care of your own health.”
“Don’t worry, don’t worry about me, I’ve got it all figured out.”
Coming out of the small rented house, Zige hurried to the city’s third hospital. When she went over, there was still someone guarding Little Douzi’s bedside. At this moment, Little Douzi had already woken up and was talking to the children’s nurse on one side in a milky voice.
“Sister, my mommy is a nurse too!”
“Yes?”
“Uh-huh. Mommy works here too. But Mommy’s not here today! Otherwise, I could have introduced mommy to my sister.”
The little nurse smiled and squinted her eyes, “It’s okay, my sister is on duty tomorrow too, so it’s okay to introduce her tomorrow.”
“Okay then.” Little Bean nodded seriously.
Looking at Little Douzi’s innocent little face, the gloom in Zi Ge’s heart suddenly swept away most of it. Pushing open the door to the hospital room, he walked in.
“Mommy! Sister, Mommy’s here!” Little Douzi was happy to see mommy. Zige walked over and grabbed the child’s hand and kissed it before speaking to the nurse at the side, “The child is troubling you.”
“Your baby is so cute!” That children’s nurse laughed as she mixed up the medication, “Everyone is clamoring for a shift, it’s just so good looking.”
Listening to the bystanders praising their own children, Zi Ge’s heart was as sweet as honey, and she was very proud. Little Douzi was not modest, raising his cute little face, smiling nicely at the nurse, “Sister looks good too, just as good as mommy.”
This time, the nurse couldn’t stop smiling. Zige stroked the child’s head, “Little Grinch.”
He spits out his tongue mischievously, hugging Zige’s neck and whispering to her, “That way sister will be much gentler with the injection. However, Sister Nurse is really good-looking, just like Mommy.”
Throughout the night, Zi Ge stayed with the child. By the time the child fell asleep, she was holding the child’s hand and fell asleep on the edge of the bed.
The next day.
When the nurse came in to give Little Bean the shot, she was just about to speak when Little Bean hurriedly pressed her index finger to her own lips, carefully comparing lips with the nurse, “Shhh! Mommy is sleeping.”
The nurse smiles away. Touched by the sight of the child clumsily holding the quilt to be put over her mother, she was so moved that she stepped forward to help, whispering, “Little Bean is so understanding.”
“Mommy is so tired.” Little Bean was heartbroken.
When Lan Yu Feng pushed the door in, this was the scene he saw.
She fell into a fitful sleep while the child beside her pulled the covers over her with a distressed look on his face.
The image was simple, yet it was indescribably warm. He shuddered, as if something had struck the place in his heart that he had thought had gone wooden.
If she did talk to the kid about all that, in the end, would the little bean choose to go with her, or stay?
That answer, he wasn’t sure. But …
He wouldn’t give any chance for her to take the baby!
“Daddy.” Little Bean called down sweetly as soon as she saw him.
The nurse was new, but it was the first time she had seen the father of the child, and the compelling aura and absolutely handsome face made her blush a little for a moment.
Lan Yu Feng fell back as if he hadn’t noticed.
The line of sight skimmed over Zige’s sleeping face on the side for a moment, not even a second’s pause, only the color of his eyes complicated for a few moments. He touched the child’s head and asked the nurse in a low voice, “Do we need an injection?”
“Uh-huh. There’s another bottle today.” The nurse lowered back, her heart beating extremely fast. Oh my god, no wonder there was such a cute baby! Not only was the mother good looking, but to be the father was such a charmer. It was leggy, but that was completely negligible.
“Uh-huh.” Lan Yu Feng nodded, sort of knowing. Looking at the child again, “Will you be afraid?”
“Not afraid.” Little Bean shook her head bravely, “Sister is gentle with her injections.”
“That’s good.” Lan Yu Feng rejoiced at the child’s bravery. He gave the nurse a sideways glance before saying, “The child is in your hands.”
“You can rest assured.” The nurse hurriedly smiled and responded, and then lowered her eyes to look at someone lying on the side of the bed, “However, it’s really a bit inconvenient to give the injection with your wife lying here. Do you think it’s better to wake her up?”
Ma’am?
Because of these two words, at the bottom of Lan Yu Feng’s deep eyes, emotions churned and were somewhat complicated and unpredictable.
Pursing his lips, he reached out and wanted to push her straight awake. However, looking at the small face that had fatigue written all over it, the hand hanging in the air gradually tightened.
The heart, as if gently scratched by a sharp object, vaguely ached.
After all …
He just bent down and picked her up in a cross body and headed for the other hospital bed. The nurse over there was giving Little Douzi an injection, looking at the way the child was forcibly holding back the pain and not daring to make a sound for fear of disturbing mommy; and looking at the wonderful pair over there, he couldn’t help but be envious. A pair of people, with a cute child like this, life is really perfect to the extreme.
Just …
How did she know the story?
Zi Ge only woke up after being picked up by Lan Yu Feng. Ben was dazed and confused, only feeling that familiar scent lingering around him, extraordinarily comfortable. However, when she was completely awake, she realized that something was wrong, and almost instinctively opened her eyes and stared at him warily.
Why is he here?
“Lan Yu Feng, you let … me go.”
Before the remaining two words could be said, Lan Yu Feng had already lowered her onto the bed. Under her startled eyes, his entire body ambled over, his sexy thin lips pressing against her ear.
Breathing stuttered, where could she complete her sentence? The face still can not help the heat, but annoyed to whack him. Unexpectedly, he just coolly in her ear, put down a sentence, “I don’t want to fight with you in front of the child, so you’d better not make a scene.”
Obviously, they were words of warning, but because they were pressed down so low, only some breath sounds remained. That breath fell on Zi Ge’s ears, and even seemed ambiguous to the extreme.
Zige subconsciously grabbed the sheets underneath her.
Menzie Ge, you’re no good!
It’s at times like this that one’s heart actually races at his proximity!
She secretly despised herself, avoided the child’s eyes, and whispered to him indignantly, “Please stay away from me!”
“If you don’t want to see me, you can close your eyes and sleep!” He bent his head, strands of dark color surfacing after his gaze ran over the layer of shadows under her eyes. Grabbing the quilt folded aside, he covered her with no gentleness at all.
The woman, who had been in the hospital for days on end, would be surprised if her body held up!
Zi Ge took the quilt to embrace himself, mind subconsciously recalled yesterday on the phone he so firmly said, no one is allowed to stay their words. Just feel the chill invading her body, she really do not want to see him at all, only to turn around and negatively pull the quilt to cover their eyes, to a blindfold for clean.
Zi Ge was really tired, dipped into bed, wrapped up in the quilt and surprisingly really just fell asleep. Once asleep, unexpectedly slept for several hours. When she woke up, she subconsciously touched her cell phone and jumped in shock at the sight on the screen.
I can’t believe it’s two o’clock in the afternoon! I can’t believe I slept for so long!
Did the child eat on time?
Thinking of this, she immediately sat up with a start, but she was instantly stunned to see an empty hospital bed on the side.
“Little Bean!”
