Lan Yu Feng stopped talking and just gave Su Xi a heavy look. Su Xi was stunned, the message conveyed by that look was so strong and sharp that she didn’t dare to refute it.
In the end, in the end, she just snapped and spoke, “Okay, then I’ll leave first.” She smiled faintly and looked over towards Zige again, “Brother Yu Feng is in your hands, take good care of him for me.”
Ziggy, not responding.
Take good care of him? She didn’t think she could do it.
The good that used to be there had long since been wiped out by his own hand.
After Su Xi left, Zi Ge sharply lifted the quilt and took scissors to cut the gauze. Lan Yu Feng’s line of sight was always frozen on her. With her hair all coiled up, she could clearly see the cold, temperature-less side of her face.
Trance …
Feeling, her smiling face, had been so far away from him … that it was out of reach …
Later …
Perhaps, never to be seen again …
“Menzie Ge.” After all, he was the first to open his mouth.
“Where’s Little Bean?” Zige finally raised her head and looked at him. Only when she mentioned the child did her expression waver slightly. It wasn’t as impeccably cool as it was just now.
Lan Yu Feng deepened his eyes, “In a few days, I’m going to start rehabbing my leg.”
Zige frowned, her expression clearing a few points.
“I won’t stay in the hospital.” As if he didn’t see her disgruntled look, Lan Yu Feng continued to speak in a wooden voice.
“It’s your business. I just want to know …”
“It’s not just about me.” Lan Yu Feng interrupted her, “I’ve already communicated with your hospital for you to be my personal caregiver. Help me with the next series of rehab treatments.”
Gotta gross out first. “I’ll never say yes!” She refused without hesitation.
“I don’t need you to promise.” His demeanor remained as flat as ever.
Zige snorted coldly, ”You don’t expect the hospital to come and pressure me. Although I’m an employee of the hospital, they don’t have the right to force me to do work that doesn’t belong to my division. I have every right to refuse.”
“In a few days, I’ll go to that dacha in Moscow for rehab.” He went on about his decision.
“Whatever!” Zige felt that he was ridiculous and packed up her things, ready to leave. This arrogant man, still thinks she’s the same silly woman from before who can be manipulated by him? If he really thought so, then, obviously, he was very wrong!
“Little Bean will meet you there.”
His words made her pause suddenly.
Tang Yao Yang couldn’t stare at him to Russia even if he wanted to. So, arranging for their mother and son to meet there would be much safer than at home.
“I won’t force you, consider it yourself.” After Lan Yu Feng bashfully dropped this sentence, he didn’t look at her again, but just reached out and opened the tablet computer on the side, flipping through the sample contract he had just received in his mailbox.
Ziggy turned and looked at him.
“Why are you doing this?” In her eyes, she was suspicious and wary.
It was as if he, before her eyes, was a hunter who would strike at any moment, and she, herself, was the prey who was wary of being caught.
Thin lips, slightly hooked.
A slight bitterness rippled out.
“If you’re afraid of falling for it again, you can refuse me.”
“You made every effort to separate us mother and son in the first place, but now you’re suddenly arranging for us to meet? Lan Yu Feng, if you have some purpose, why don’t you just say it directly.” She hadn’t been this paranoid before, but, now, she had to be a little more careful.
She has to work a little harder with a man who steps up to the plate.
Just …
Unbeknownst to her, those steps of his had long since been tightened.
The hand gripping the computer, tightened a bit. He looked sideways, at her, his eyes complex, tumbling with emotions that Ziggy couldn’t read.
“I’ll give you two minutes to think about it.” Lan Yu Feng pursed his thin lips, “No matter what my purpose is, if you want to see Little Douzi, you have no way back.”
Looking at him, Ziggy suddenly smiled.
He’s right.
Grasping her dead center, so all the initiative was in his hands.
“Okay, I promise you!” Zi Ge nodded her head, and then, looking at him with cold eyes, “If you still want to use me, I advise you not to waste any more of your efforts. Right now, what you are to me is at best an ordinary patient, and I won’t be fooled by you again!”
There was no longer any trust, so the word ‘cheat’ didn’t even exist between them.
Thinking this way, Zige’s heart released a few more points.
Without stopping any longer, he straightened his back and walked out of the hospital room without looking back.
Looking at that fading figure, a crack slowly appeared in Lan Yu Feng’s calm demeanor. Leaning against the bed, he stared blankly at that back figure, his eyes growing more and more complicated.
Heart, empty, extra hard …
“What? Going to Moscow?!” Hearing what Zi Ge said, Xi Su Jie was shocked. And then, immediately shook her head, “No way! You must not go! That must be a trap!”
“Traps I’ll go too. If the child is there, I’ll stay. If the child is not there, I’ll leave immediately.” Zi Ge looked calm. She had already thought of a way out long ago, and would never believe the nonsense that Lan Yu Feng said again in a haphazard manner.
“Leave? If he has the intention to keep you, can you walk away that simply?” Xi Sujie was worried.
“I’ll put the passport away myself personally. He can’t kidnap me.”
“That’s true. But …” Xi Su Jie glanced at her, her eyes fell on his small abdomen, “You are still carrying a child, it is not convenient to take an airplane. Also … you stayed with him for so long, in case the ecstasy was discovered by him, with his kind of shrewdness can he not suspect the pregnancy?”
“It’s not that I haven’t thought about what you said.” Zi Ge took a deep breath, “However, since he’s giving me the chance to see the child now, if I don’t take it, do you think Little Douzi will resent me?”
Xi Sujie couldn’t speak.
After all, Little Bean was just under five years old. No mother could really leave a child that young behind, and no child would not want to see their mother.
She sighed, “Do you want to discuss this with Hengjun again? I’m sure he won’t approve of what you’re doing either.”
“And you know he’s not going to agree. So, it’s better to leave it with him for now and wait until we get to Moscow and I’ll call him to explain it properly.”
Xi Sujie didn’t respond, but she didn’t say anything else to refute her either.
Two days later.
Su Chen was still sleeping when Su Xi suddenly pushed open the door and rushed in angrily.
“Brother!” As soon as she did, she lifted the quilt. Su Chen was used to sleeping naked, and was so embarrassed by this lift that he jumped up. Fishing for the quilt to wrap himself up, he stared at her warily, “What are you doing? Who taught you to enter without knocking first?”
“You’re the one who gave Meng Zige permission to rehab Brother Yu Feng?”
“You’re messing with me just for this?” Facing her questioning, Su Chen was a bit angry.
“You know that they have feelings for each other, and you’re still creating such an opportunity for them?” Su Xi looked at Su Chen angrily, with obvious aggression in her eyes.
“Just because they have feelings for each other, I arranged it this way. Moreover, between them, there is more than just feelings, there is also a child!” Su Chen couldn’t help but aggravate the latter words, wanting to tell his sister to come to her senses.
“I’m your sister, how come I haven’t seen you create any opportunities for me?” Su Xi’s eyes, suddenly turned red. She sniffled, like an unfavored sister harshly scolding her brother, “Could it be that I don’t have any feelings? I’ve loved him for so many years, and for so many years you’ve been able to do it with a cold eye! You are truly my good brother!”
“I stood by coldly? How many times have I advised you that that man is not someone you can afford to love! Su Xi, for you to say these things now is foolishness!”
“I still love him even if I’m a fool! Even if I know, he doesn’t love me at all, I still love him!” Tears, fell from her eyes. She looked straight at Su Chen, aggrieved like a wounded child, “For him, I can even put my life on the line, do you think I can say I don’t love him?”
“Su Xi, do you figure out your own heart? Is it just because you can’t get it, that’s why you can’t stop thinking about it?” Su Chen haphazardly put on his own robe and got out of bed, somewhat angrily looking at his sister, “There are so many men, why do you bother picking an onion without a heart? He is no longer good, no longer excellent, but also never will be belong to you, do you understand in the end? If it was possible with you, 5 years ago, no, maybe 8 years ago, 10 years ago, you would have already been together! There wouldn’t have been any subsequent appearance of Zhuo Yunruo and Meng Zige!”
Su Chen just wanted to scold his sister for waking up.
He felt all her feelings for Lan Yu Feng clearly.
Heartache, intolerance …
More than that, there was nothing to be done.
Su Xi snorted and coldly looked at Su Chen, “So you are such a negative person, you don’t even dare to go out of your way in love, no wonder Xi Su Jie wants to make a clean break with you, if I were her, I wouldn’t want you either!”
Su Xi’s words were like a sharp knife that pierced Su Chen’s heart.
face, became a little pale.
She mentioned, his most painful wound. And, on top of that, a heavy poke.
“Brother, wait and see! I will prove to you that as long as you are willing to work hard, as long as you are brave enough, there is nothing in this world that you can’t get!” Su Xi put down her words, not waiting for Su Chen to say anything else, she already turned around and stepped out the door.
The door, being thrown heavily shut, made a ‘thud’ sound. Heavy, flung on Su Chen’s heart.
On the Plane …
Sitting next to Lan Yu Feng, Zi Ge was a little nervous. She was afraid that the strong air pressure would affect the still unstable child; she was also afraid that she would be in ecstasy and let Lan Yu Feng spy it out.
So, from start to finish, she just closed her eyes and grabbed both hands.
Lan Yu Feng looked at her pale face and didn’t ask a single word, just asked the flight attendant for a blanket.
Ziggy stiffened when a weight was placed on her body and warmth came from it. The blanket, then, covered her. His hand, as he drew it back, inadvertently grazed her cheek.
That searing heat, like it came from a long ago memory, has become a little strange …
Instead of opening his eyes immediately, he just waited a long time before slowly lifting half of his eyelids.
The man at her side, like her, was lounging against the wide lean-to. His long eyelashes were hanging down, and there were heavy dark circles under his eyes.
Turning back, looking again at the blanket covering her body, Zi Ge pursed her lips, and finally expressionlessly removed the blanket and put it aside.
His kindness, she thought she could not afford …
After taking down the blanket, Ziggy turned her face toward the window and closed her eyes. She didn’t notice that he, on her side, slowly opened his eyes. Sinking down, he looked at the back of that cold head, and the complex emotions in the bottom of his deep eyes surged once again.
This woman …
From the day he first met, he never imagined that one day he would be entangled in this.
Even if, both become like hedgehogs …
Even though, every time you wake up in a nightmare, you know you should let go …
But …
