Seems like … something … will derail any minute …
Four eyes opposite each other, heart trembling. His fingers, slowly rubbing on her lips …
Right Now …
“Sir!” Yan Nan hurriedly ran out from inside with a low cry, causing Lan Yu Feng to jolt and snap out of it.
Glancing at the Zi Ge in his arms, he furrowed his brows, hiding the emotions that had just spiraled out of control. Turning his face, he looks at Yan Nan, “What is it?”
“The inside has been taken care of.” Yan Nan said as he passed a bottle of water to Zi Ge, “Ms. Meng, rinse your mouth.”
Zi Ge received it in a daze, broke away from Lan Yu Feng’s arms and walked to the side. In his arms, the feeling of emptiness made him feel a little chilled. Reaching out, he wanted to yank her back, but he forced himself to hold back.
Only Yan Nan’s low voice could be heard, overlaying his ears, “Tang Yao Yang and Zhuo Yunruo intend to return to China in the near future.”
Lan Yu Feng glanced at the woman who was squatting on the ground to get water to rinse her mouth. In the dark night, she was thin and light as the wind, seemingly dissipating if she wasn’t careful.
Meng Zige …
They … shouldn’t be this bitter …
Thin lips, pursed.
It was a long time before he spoke, “You guys go back first.”
After saying that, he started off and headed in the direction of Zi Ge. Yan Nan was not surprised at all as he looked at that figure.
Reasonable people, in the face of feelings, there will eventually be unable to control the day …
Ziggy felt tired.
Very tired …
Solemnly and weakly, he crouched on the ground.
Her long hair covered her entire small face and she buried her lower jaw in her knees. Instead, a scene from the past drifted through her mind like a movie.
Suddenly, the wrist, was vigorously clasped.
The next second, her entire body was yanked up.
Seeing the all-too-familiar figure, she pouted in mild annoyance, “Why are you still here?”
She doesn’t want to see him …
Even if it’s a dream … Even if it’s a hallucination …
Because, that would only make her feel bad … so bad, it was hard to even breathe …
Especially …
He when she opened her eyes and woke up, the empty room made her feel that even her heart was empty. The cool air around her was enough to freeze her veins …
Lan Yu Feng didn’t say a word, just pulled her along. She was wearing high heels, her footsteps stumbled a bit, and several times she planted herself on his back in a mess. He simply wrapped his long arm around her and embraced her whole body. That warm heat, wrapped up, made Zi Ge almost unable to resist being intoxicated.
Is it really a hallucination?
Why is … even the hallucinations so real?
The end of her nose flared, and she let herself rest gently against his chest.
Lan Yu Feng …
How nice it would be if, there was never any deception, no exploitation …
But she knows better, many, many things that can’t be brought back …
Pulling open the car door, Lan Yu Feng half carried her into the car. Quickly, she closed her eyes, tilted her head, leaned against the car window, and quietly fell asleep. The shadows of the lamp, swept past her face, setting off her pallor and fatigue.
Lan Yu Feng reached out, wanting to touch her face, but, in the end, he paused in his movements. Turning back, his eyes focused on the road, not looking at it again.
On the way, she slept inconsolably. Occasionally a murmur, a broken recitation of the little bean. Even in her dreams, her voice was tinged with sobs.
Although she was young, she was, undoubtedly, a very good mother …
He, on the other hand, was not considered a good father. So … even after four years with Little Bean, it’s no match for the months they spent together as mother and son …
Car, drove to the small rental house downstairs, she was still asleep. Lan Yu Feng came around to this side, reached out to take off her seatbelt for her, and for a long time, he just looked at her with his eyes downcast. Wanted to wake her up, in the end, just touched the door key from her body, carried her to his back.
One hand was wrapped around her, the other holding the cane.
Obviously …
She’s lost weight again.
It’s so much lighter to carry like this. Like a feather, ready to disappear …
Standing in the elevator, he stared over his shoulder at the small, pale face through the glossy elevator surface, frowning in bewilderment.
Stupid woman!
Can’t you even take care of yourself?
Lowering her onto the bed, touching the soft mattress, she curls herself into a ball uneasily. Lan Yu Feng sat on the bed, unscrewed the light, looked at her with downcast eyes for a while, and finally stood up and headed for the restroom.
Wiping her face clean, changing into her pajamas, and turning off the light, Lan Yu Feng quietly sat on the sofa for a while.
He kept his gaze on her, watching her drift into a steady sleep.
The moment before he left, he stood in the hall, looking across the empty house, and brooded for a long time. Finally, taking out a pen from his pocket, he took a piece of paper in his hand and wrote down a series of numbers on the surface of the paper.
The pen, after a pause, added a few more words.
The sun, shining into the room, Ziggy was woken up by her cell phone alarm.
Sitting up, she immediately felt like she had a splitting headache. Pressing her brow, she just felt her mind go blank. Lifting the covers, she dropped her eyes to see the pajamas she was wearing and froze for a moment.
Closing her eyes and trying to think again, a familiar figure sprang into her mind. Startled, she didn’t care about the dizziness and immediately got up from the bed, not even having time to put on her slippers, pulling open the door to her room and rushing outside.
But, throughout the house, there was no sound.
Quiet, empty, like an empty heart …
Even Suje is not there.
All at once, it was like the whole world, was left to exist only her …
Thought I didn’t care anymore, but at the moment …
The heart wells up, except for loss … or loss …
Disheveled, she sat down on the couch when a piece of paper on the low table caught her eye. She took it suspiciously, and when she saw the numbers underneath it, her heart jumped and she was almost overjoyed. However, the strong words below annihilated all her joy.
The whole thing was like being thrown into a winter ice cellar, clear and cold and piercing …
I hope you keep your word.
She gave a clear, cold smile.
Keep your promises?
Is this about the time she promised to never show her face to him again if he gave her Little Bean’s number? Some time to make the wait.
Fingertips, cold.
She gripped the piece of paper tightly.
Will …
Will keep the promise …
“Mommy?” At the sound of a familiar voice, Little Bean was surprised for a moment, and then, joyfully, called out, “Mommy!”
Zige’s tears, she could barely contain them. Didn’t want to worry her child, so she just took a deep breath and forced herself to hold it back. A smile blossomed, “Baby, are you doing well now?”
“Not good! Not good at all!” The child screamed sadly.
She was so shocked at what she heard that her heart almost twisted into a twist, and gripping the receiver tightly, she asked repeatedly, “Why? What’s wrong? Is something wrong?”
“Little Bean wants Mommy … Mommy, Daddy won’t let me go back, Daddy is so bad …” the child choked and complained.
Zi Ge didn t even know how to comfort it. She can t go … and the child can t come back …
“Good boy, Little Douzi is a man, how can he just cry?” She coaxed the child with a pretense of relaxation, but, she herself was almost unable to hold back her tears.
“I want Mommy, not to be a man!”
Why wouldn’t she want to visit him?
But …
Is there still a chance?
“Baby, wipe your tears. Mommy will talk to Daddy about it, okay? Maybe, daddy will agree to let you come back.” She could only coax the child. Couldn’t lie in front of the child, but what to do? More than anything, she didn’t want to see him sad and in tears.
“Is it really okay?”
“Sure.”
“Daddy said that Mommy doesn’t want me and doesn’t want him …” The little bean’s tone choked up at the mention of this.
She was heartbroken.
“Of course you won’t. Mommy said that no matter what, you’ll always be Mommy’s son … Mommy won’t not want you …”
Hearing her reassurance, Little Bean then finally spread her smile.
“Daddy is bad, daddy only lies to people.”
Zige didn’t know what to say, but in the end, she was just speechless.
A big small, holding the phone chat for a long time, Zi Ge finally coaxed the little bean to break into tears and laugh, before hanging up the phone at ease.
Sight skimmed to the side of the piece of paper left with Lan Yu Feng’s handwriting, breathing still choked, the next instant, folded up the piece of paper, complete tucked in the wallet.
She, for one, will remember this well …
Remind yourself too …
Lan Yu Feng is lying on the hospital bed, Su Chen is ready to be pushed into the operating room in a few minutes.
Yannan answered the phone and sent it in.
“Sir, it’s a call from France.”
“Give it to me.” He took it smoothly.
The Chinese butler on the French side reported back to him, “Sir, the young master answered the phone early this morning.”
“Uh-huh.” He wasn’t surprised, “And?”
“It’s rare for the young master to be this happy. He had breakfast early this morning and allowed his teacher to come to class. Right now it’s playing in the back garden with the teacher!”
The child is doing well, and being a father, naturally, is comforting. Just …
There is also an indescribable frustration.
He thought of more tricks to coax the child, but in the end it was no match for a transatlantic phone call from Meng Zige.
“Got it. Make him what he wants to eat tonight, and tell him that I may not be able to visit him for a while. Keep me posted if anything happens.”
“Okay, sir. You take care of yourself too.” The butler then hung up the phone.
“Alright, go into the operating room!” A moment later, Su Chen himself entered the ward, followed by Su Xi.
Looking at Lan Yu Feng lying on the bed, Su Xi took off her sunglasses and hat and smiled in relief.
“Come out of surgery and eat.” She raised the thermos in her hand.
Su Chen raised an eyebrow at Lan Yu Feng, “This is my sister’s handmade, even I don’t have the taste for it.”
Lan Yu Feng just symbolically raised his lips before he and Su Chen said, “Let’s go.”
Zige watched as a group of people swarmed toward the operating room. Through the layers of people, she couldn’t see the figure being pushed in the center of the crowd, but she knew exactly who it was.
I went into the hospital early in the morning and already heard everyone talking about it.
Gathering her brows, she turned and prepared to leave.
“Ziggy.” A familiar voice called her back.
She intertwined her hands in front of her, wrapping them tightly. It took a moment, barely raising a smile, before she turned around.
“Ms. Sue.”
She was calm and greeted like nothing was wrong.
Su Xi looked at her and smiled, “Brother Yu Feng is going to have an operation.”
“Yeah? I’m not sure.”
“You …” she gave Ziggy a tentative look, “broke up? Or, should that be a breakup? You haven’t been in a relationship at all, so it doesn’t count as a breakup.”
Su Xi’s words hit the nail on the head.
She couldn’t find any possibility of rebuttal.
“If that’s what Ms. Su wants to talk to me about, then I’ll leave first. I still have things to do.” After Zige finished speaking, she turned around and was about to leave.
Looking at that back, Su Xi pursed her lips and still called her back, “Zige.”
Menzies Ge paused.
Su Xi withdrew her smile and looked serious with a touch of faint sadness, “Actually, I don’t mind telling you that I really love him …”
Ziggy froze. Turning back to her, he looked at her in disbelief.
