“Xia Feiqing, you lunatic!”
“Who’s crazy!” He picked her up from the floor with a hand and glared at her with a hateful death glare, “Zhao Yuanyuan, you’re the one who’s completely insane! From today onwards, you don’t want to take a single step out of here! Whenever you quit the drugs, when will you get out!”
Xia Feiqing sank his steps out and brought the door with him, not counting, and then directly locked it.
Inside the door, Zhao Yuanyuan slapped the door panel, “Xia Feiqing, let me out! Do you hear me? You psycho, you let me out!”
“I’ll tell my sister! You imprisoned me!”
“I’ll make my sister never forgive you for the rest of her life! You asshole!”
Xia Feiqing didn’t waver in the slightest, his complexion was cold and heavy as he pulled out his cell phone and searched for the phone number of a home improvement company. He had to reinforce this door tonight, thicken it, and make the soundproofing the best it could be by the way!
After cutting the phone lines of that side of the house, confiscating Zhao Yuanyuan’s cell phone by the way, and installing the door, Xia Feiqing went back to the Xia home.
“Why are you still up so late?” When she went back, Zhao Lanlan was still leaning on the sofa watching TV.
“You’re back.” Zhao Lanlan twisted around to look at him. Meeting his cold and somber demeanor, she asked, “Did something happen?”
Yes, something is wrong, and it’s still a big deal.
He simply couldn’t dare to imagine what Lanlan’s reaction would be if he knew that the only sister he could now keep by his side and love so much was now indisputably degraded to what extent.
“Nothing, it’s just work.” Xia Feiqing downplayed it.
“You look pale.”
“Well, it’s a bit tricky.” Seeing that she seemed worried, he touched her face and added, “Don’t worry, it’s small, I can handle it.”
Her eyelashes fluttered and she looked away a little uncomfortably, her cheeks burning hot.
Was it really so obvious that she was worried?
“Then … I’ll go to bed first.” She stood up from the couch and took two steps out, remembering something, she turned her head, “By the way, I’ve been calling Hope for the past two days, but I haven’t been able to reach her. Can you tell her where she’s staying now? I can go and look for her. I also don’t know what she does for meals and all that when she’s living alone.”
Xia Feiqing’s eyes slightly surged, a touch of strange emotions crossed from the bottom of his eyes, but quickly converged. Calmly and frankly lied, “Was about to talk to you about this matter. She was temporarily sent out on a business trip, and her domestic cell phone number is not working.”
“Ah, doesn’t she do paperwork?”
“Well, but didn’t she study in the US before? The higher-ups took a liking to her fluent English, so they took her out to everything.”
Zhao Lanlan completely believed his words and sighed in relief, “That’s good. It seems like she’s doing all her work well, and I’m relieved.”
“Don’t worry, with me keeping an eye on you, nothing will go wrong.”
“Uh-huh!” She nodded trustingly, before she turned around pleasantly and went back to the bedroom. It wasn’t until her figure completely disappeared behind the door that the relief on Xia Feiqing’s face was removed. He threw his jacket on the sofa with a somber expression.
What in the world can I do about this to explain it to her?
***
From that day on, Xia Feiqing hired a nanny for Zhao Yuanyuan. Usually Zhao Yuanyuan couldn’t go anywhere, and when her drug addiction kicked in, she lost her mind. The nanny would call Xia Feiqing, and he would usually be the first to arrive no matter what was in hand.
On this day, Xia Feiqing parked his car downstairs in Building F and hurriedly ran upstairs, bumping into someone and only apologizing, not even lifting his head and entering the elevator.
“Feiqing?” The person who bumped into him was none other than Yu Ningjiao, who lived in this neighborhood. She came back to her senses and called out to him, but he had already entered the elevator.
Looking at that figure, Yu Ningjiao had more heart eyes. What are you doing in such a hurry?
She didn’t think much of it, glancing at the floor he’d arrived on and quickly following suit.
When she came out of the elevator, she saw Xia Feiqing’s figure disappear inside a door. Immediately, someone next door poked their head out, looking like they were watching, “Here we go again, the bickering has started again.”
“What’s going on here?” Yu Ningjiao immediately asked.
“Who knows what’s going on? There’s a young girl in this house who’s been locked up all day, and the nanny who usually takes care of her comes out and scurries around, so we just found out. I heard that the girl is on drugs, tsk, really …” the man said while shaking his head helplessly.
“Young girl?” Yu Ningjiao thought for a moment and asked, “This girl wouldn’t be named Zhao Lanlan, right?”
“Jo Langland? That’s not true.”
Yu Ningjiao was frustrated.
It would have been better if Zhao Lanlan had spoken directly to the Xia family, she wouldn’t have wanted to be with Feiqing at all.
“But, from what the nanny said, it’s really Jo. By the way, it’s called Zhao Yuanyuan.”
Yuan Yuan Zhao?
Isn’t that Zhao Lanlan’s sister?
Yu Ningjiao looked at the closed door again, occasionally she could hear voices from inside, but they were not loud enough to be heard clearly. She didn’t stay any longer and just turned around and left.
Winter is here in this city in the blink of an eye. Yesterday it was in the teens, today it dropped to a few degrees all of a sudden.
Zhao Lanlan wore a lot, she’s a special person, she can’t catch a cold.
In the evening, Mrs. Xia carried another quilt from upstairs towards the study. Zhao Lanlan followed her in, “Mom, I’ll lay it.”
“Well, the heating in this house is broken, and I don’t know if Feiqing will catch a cold when he sleeps at night. A quilt like this should be enough, right?” Mrs. Xia said as she weighed the quilt.
“The heating is broken?” Zhao Lanlan tried, and sure enough the heating didn’t respond. “I wanted to have someone come to fix it a long time ago, but I forgot about it all of a sudden, so I’ll have someone come and fix it tomorrow.”
Mrs. Xia glanced at Zhao Lanlan, remembered something, and intentionally said, “However, it’s really strange to be cold on a day like this without heat. Feiqing, this child is pampered and hates winter the most, I’m only afraid that he will really not be able to sleep tonight.”
Mrs. Summer certainly meant to say that.
It wasn’t a short time since Lan Lan came back. Now the child has passed three months, the two are good, so far have not slept together. This marriage has been delayed again and again, their young people are not anxious, but let when the elders are anxious.
The two old people at home, in particular, are even more concerned. Two days a phone call to ask how the situation. The moment they say there is no situation, they have to be criticized for being ineffective as parents.
Now, isn’t that a chance?
“Forget it, even if you can’t sleep you can only make do, it’s just one night anyway. But he has to work a little harder, he can’t sleep well at night, and he still has to go to work … during the day,” Mrs. Xia continued.
It was said as if he was not thinking, however, Zhao Lanlan heard it all.
The bed was uncomfortable enough for him to sleep all over, and I’m afraid he wouldn’t be comfortable without heat in the room.
Zhao Lanlan didn’t say anything, just puffed up the quilt and then went out in silence.
