Raise the curtains and look down on the entire city from above. In an instant, one was mesmerized by the sparkling sea of stars below. Turning off the lights in her office, she moved a chair and sat against the floor-to-ceiling window. With her forehead gently resting against the glass, in the darkness, she stared downward in bewilderment.
Humans are too small in the endless sea of stars …
It was already two hours after the meeting. Lan Yu Feng pushed open the door, and the darkness that filled the room made him frown slightly. After adjusting to the darkness, he vaguely saw the sallow figure by the window. She was curled up in a chair with her arms around herself, her head tilted as if she was asleep.
“President, here is …” An employee handed over the final data of the information, and before he finished his words, he was already stopped by Lan Yu Feng’s eyes. That person strangely swept inside, saw nothing, and silently walked away again.
Also do not turn on the light, slowly walk over, Lan Yu Feng is leaning against the window hanging his head silently watching her. She really closed her eyes and fell asleep, and in the quiet and dark space, her breathing could be heard. Even, light and shallow.
I don’t know if she sensed something, she abruptly woke up. Confused, looked up and saw his figure, first stunned for a moment, and then, a rare ripple of faint smile.
“Is the meeting over?”
“Uh-huh.” He nodded, her smile softening his demeanor.
“What time is it?” She looked a little lethargic.
“Exactly ten o’clock.” Lan Yu Feng ruffled his sleeve and glanced at the time before looking up and asking her, “Did you get enough sleep?”
“Uh-huh. Fell asleep by accident.” Ziggy mumbled, lowering her legs to get up from the chair. However, a tingle came over her from being curled up for too long, and her legs went limp and she nearly fell over.
Lan Yu Feng reached out his arm to hold her steady. Her entire body lumbered forward, right onto him, her arms subconsciously climbing onto his arms.
“Is everything okay?” He wrapped his arms around her waist.
“It’s fine.” Zige shook her head. Being so close to each other, smelling his scent, it was as if her fluttering heart finally had a trace of belonging.
Without backing away from him, she instead embraced him back, leaning her head fondly on Lan Yu Feng’s shoulder, “Lend me your shoulder to lean on.”
The fragrance of the fragrance, filling the nostrils. Lan Yu Feng embraced her and leaned against the window, the starlight outside the window diffused in, filling the entire office with a soft scent. He holds her head, drops his head, and asks softly, “Why did you suddenly come over?”
“Been cooped up in the house all day and wanted to get some air.” She replied, her cool thin lips opening and closing in a single motion, brushing his neck, and could clearly feel the strong beat of his pulse.
“Lan Yu Feng …” she suddenly called him lightly and quietly, her voice so light that it floated in the air like a feather, as if it were nothing. “Do you … count me as a boyfriend now?”
Lan Yu Feng skimmed his lips and didn’t hesitate, only slightly clasping her frail body, “I thought that we had already made it clear today.”
Zige laughed softly and buried her face deeper between his neck, greedily sucking in the warmth that belonged to him.
With him there, the heart, already not so cold …
Much less empty.
When the two came home together, there was only one maid left in the house who hadn’t yet fallen asleep to wait for them at the door. Lan Yu Feng handed the maid the jacket he had taken off while glancing at Zi Ge, but asked the maid, “In the evening, how much did madam eat?”
The maid glanced at Zige and answered truthfully, “Basically, she didn’t move her chopsticks much. Madam said her appetite isn’t very good.”
Lan Yu Feng looked at Zi Ge and frowned. Zi Ge sighed, “Then I’ll go eat something now, the housekeeper has left me meals in the kitchen.”
With that, he nodded in satisfaction, ordered the servants to go and get the kitchen stuff out, spoke to Ziggy, and went upstairs.
Looking at that upright back, thinking that this excellent man is his boyfriend, Cang Liang’s heart is more or less comforted. From the beginning because of the small beans and he had a crossroads, never thought that one day and he will come to this step …
Bedmate, to boyfriend and girlfriend.
Unable to help but smile a little, he picked up his chopsticks. Looking at those exquisite meals, his appetite seemed to be much better as well.
A while later, Lan Yu Feng re-emerged from the elevator. He had obviously showered and changed into a fresh robe, with water droplets still remaining in his sharp hair, which shimmered and glowed in the light.
Zige couldn’t help but look mesmerized and curved her lips to ask him, “Why are you still awake?”
Lan Yu Feng put down his cane and sat down beside Zi Ge, didn’t say anything, just opened his mouth towards her. That look is really like the small beans that used to beg for food, but Lan Yu Feng is still the same high and mighty look as in the past. Zi Ge’s heart softened into a ball, pinching a block of light tofu to him, “Eat light at night, it’s good for the intestines.”
“When do you want to go for a paternity test?” Lan Yu Feng seemed to have been amused by a piece of tofu that had whetted his appetite, and while talking to Zi Ge, he got up and went to the kitchen to bring over a set of bowls and chopsticks.
“Get the sample, anytime.” Ziggy gave him a look, “You didn’t have dinner?”
“Uh-huh. Too busy, forgot.” Both pouring love is.
Zige shallowly frowned thinly and added some rice to him with some heartache, “Why are you so incapable of taking care of yourself?”
The rancor in her tone caused Lan Yu Feng to slightly shake his head. In my memory, my mother also often angered my father like this, with a mother’s unique tenderness and compassion …
“What’s wrong?” Seeing him out of focus, Zi Ge asked. Only then did he come back to his senses, and his eyes looked at her deeply, the tides of love wavering in the bottom of his eyes indistinguishable even to himself.
Only after a moment did he say, “I already have Zhuo Zhenbang’s sample in my hands. Regardless of the result, I suggest you don’t get into this mess.”
He, for the last time, advised her …
“I wouldn’t be at peace if I didn’t do anything.” Ziggy paused in her movements, “You know how much I love my dad.”
Looking at her determined look, Lan Yu Feng didn’t say anything else. Just nodded, “Okay, I’ll accompany you to do the appraisal tomorrow.”
“Now then, tell me about your wife.” Ziggy raised her eyes at him.
He blushed slightly and corrected himself seriously, “It’s ex-wife!”
She laughed a little, “It’s all the same. What caused her insanity? And … “Zi Ge paused for a moment, stealing a glance at Lan Yu Feng’s expression before saying, “I heard that she had a child before, Tang Yaoyang’s.”
Lan Yu Feng looked at her probing eyes, his eyes abruptly darkened. He pursed his lips, “You don’t need to figure out any of this, Zhuo Zhenbang never knew that his daughter had gone crazy.”
“Oh … then, her and Tang Yao Yang’s child, is really you … Forget it, these have nothing to do with me either.” Zige suddenly closed her words and waved her hand, deciding not to have this answer.
“You’re afraid of my answers? Haven’t you always felt that I was the one who killed their child?” Lan Yu Feng saw through Zige’s mind.
“Yes, when I was angry I did think you were quite hateful. But …” Zige tilted her head and looked at him seriously, “Now again, I think you’re actually not bad.”
Lan Yu Feng let out a low laugh and also turned sideways, resting his elbows lazily on the desktop, and came face to face with her. His eyes fixedly looked into hers, “Although Zhuo Yunruo is gentle, she has a strong temperament, especially for her feelings. Just as you said, she and Tang Yaoyang are very much in love. However, for Zhuo Zhenbang, she had to choose to marry me.”
Ziggy listened quietly without interrupting.
“In the five years she was married to me, every day was an ordeal for her, suffering from anorexia, depression, and later, insanity.” He elaborated calmly, indifferent to the point of emotionlessness.
Zi Ge, however, listened to the abnormal heart shock, hand quietly clenched, “If so … why don t you let her go?”
Let her go?
From the moment he planned to marry her, it was nothing more than wanting to make the Zhuo family feel worse than one another, so how could he possibly let her go? How could those torments of hers compare to the pain he suffered during those long years?
“What happened afterward?” Ziggy asked sharply.
“She’s pregnant, Tang Yaoyang’s.” He was still on cloud nine, as if he didn’t care that someone had put a green hat on him. “In an accident, she rolled down from the second floor and lost the baby.”
“That accident … had something to do with you?”
“Of course.” Lan Yu Feng nodded his head and didn’t hide it, “She wanted a divorce and I refused to sign it. So much so that she got emotional and caused an accident. After the child was gone, she had a complete mental disorder.”
Hearing Lan Yu Feng finish, Zi Ge unexpectedly didn’t know what to say for a moment. For a long time, she could only look at him in a daze, unable to speak.
She couldn’t guess what kind of mentality Lan Yu Feng had to keep Zhuo Yunruo tied to his side. A proud man like him could really allow his wife to be pregnant with another man’s child without getting a divorce?
Is it too much love?
His tone, however, was too calm, so calm that it was like he was telling someone else’s story.
“Scared?” Lan Yu Feng narrowed his eyes at her.
Zige shook her head and reached over, taking his hand. Her hand, cold; his palm, slightly chilly.
The two moved closer, and then, intertwined with each other.
“I’d like to hear you talk about other things. Like … your life before you got married I’m more interested in that.”
Zige’s question caused Lan Yu Feng to freeze for a moment, layers of darkness surfacing under his eyes, “My story, I’m not sure you can handle it.”
Speaking of this, his eyes flowed out of the sorrowful vicissitudes and brooding to make her slightly stunned, heart, screwed up to the pain.
Such a Lan Yu Feng was never rare.
About to say something else, he had looked at her and spoke again, “Someday, you’ll know it all.”
Know it all …
Does he have any other more harrowing experiences than the bullet her mother bestowed upon him?
Zige suddenly didn’t dare to ask, afraid of touching more of his injuries. She clamped some more dishes and handed them to his lips, side-eyed, smiling, “Come on, open your mouth!”
Looking deep into her, the hurt in his eyes receded and he pulled a smile, opening his mouth with a rare obedience.
In the hall, the two men ate their dinner, rambling softly, occasionally lifting their eyes to look at each other and smile lightly at each other.
That smile that dissolves the wounds in each other’s hearts …
Zige was the first to lie down on the bed, and Lan Yu Feng went to the child’s room before returning. Upon entering, she was lying curled up on the bed, her head smothered in the covers.
Even without seeing her face, he could feel the intense hurt. In his chest, a dull ache suddenly welled up, and his grip on the cane tightened a bit as he walked to the bedside with a sinking step.
Without a word, he lifted the covers and lay in. Turning on his side, he pressed out the light. The room was plunged into darkness for a moment.
Turning around, he opened his arms and was about to take her into his arms when she suddenly moved, her slender body throwing itself into his arms of its own accord.
The aroma of the fragrance spreads to the nose and the heart.
Slightly baffled.
The waist was immediately hooped by her hands. Her heart was full of uneasiness, her body was tensed unusually tightly, and the hands holding him were also tight, as if she was afraid that if she loosened up just a little bit, he would disappear from her side.
In the darkness of the night, Lan Yu Feng is not even sure how much softness has been added to his consistently cold eyes at this moment.
