Mrs. Xia had said her words to this point, and the implication was all too clear. But Zhao Lanlan was still confused for a moment.
It’s only been a few days since they went toe-to-toe like this, and he’s really embarrassed to find another woman right away? He can’t wait?
And …
No one else, or Yu Ningjiao who provoked them …
Later, she did not know how she walked out of the Xia family. Only, the moment she walked out, she suddenly realized that from then on, she really had no one to rely on.
Even he …
It’ll be someone else’s later, too.
The thought that he was now vacationing in Switzerland with Yu Ningjiao made his chest ache so much that he was almost suffocating.
Tears, again, began to fail to collect.
Maybe they’ll sleep together, they’ll kiss, they’ll cuddle, they’ll even do whatever intimate things they’ve done with him …
She doesn’t want it!
It’s hard enough just thinking about it.
Sitting in a cab, undeterred by the cell phone and dialed a phone out, but, over there, the response to her but still can not be connected …
The mechanical, icy voice made her a little astringent.
He was on a date right now, would it be too much of a spoiler for her to call him like this. However, she really wanted to spoil his fun right now!
It’s just that, in the end, it’s just fruitless!
The other side.
Mrs. Summer clutched the phone and called her son abroad.
A number that someone called and was never able to get through was immediately picked up when someone else called.
“Son, how’s your vacation abroad going? What about Ning Jiao, is she still at your place?” Mrs. Xia chased the text.
“No, I was kicked back. Mom, can you please ask Dad not to just spill the beans on my whereabouts. Having to deal with a woman when you’re in a bad mood is a really bad thing.” Xia Feiqing complained with some annoyance.
Mrs. Summer laughed, “I’m afraid, you’ll have to come back early too.”
After Xia Feiqing was silent for an instant, she only said flatly, “I’ve already taken my annual leave with the unit, and I won’t be going back these days.”
“Really not coming back? If you don’t come back for a few days, what if Lanlan goes to Hong Kong? Who stops her?”
Sure enough, at the mention of Zhao Lanlan someone stopped making a sound. Even his breathing, became different from just now, slightly heavier.
“The case is over, if she still wants to go … then let her go.” Xia Feiqing opened his mouth and said it with panache, but, damn it, God knows how much he was scratching his head right now.
He’s not out of breath yet!
Grumpy, and she’s not the only one.
“Okay, then I don’t care. You’ve blocked her cell phone signal, right?”
“Uh-huh.”
“Lanlan was just here a moment ago, saying he was looking for you.”
Xia Feiqing’s heart tightened, and almost without any hesitation, she asked, “What did she say? Did you tell her that I’m in Switzerland now? She didn’t stay? She went back to that shitty house?”
A series of questions that made Mrs. Summer tsk-tsk straight away.
This silly son, he talks so elegantly, but he can’t hide his heart.
“She came crying and said she was looking for you. Really cried too much, and I had to reveal your whereabouts to her, of course …”
Mrs. Xia’s words paused and she coughed dryly, saying with a straight face, “I also mentioned to her in passing that you and Ning Jiao went on a walk together. Then she asked me if you guys were dating …”
Xia Feiqing had an extremely unsettling premonition.
“Mom, you’re not saying we’re dating, are you?”
“A lone man and woman going on a trip, I’m afraid she wouldn’t believe me if I said you weren’t dating, right? I also said that Ning Jiao doesn’t care about you having a child with her either …”
“Mom, I’m really going to be killed by you!” Xia Feiqing wailed, “I’m hanging up, now go book a flight!”
He could be angry with her and wait until she came to please him, and then he would be angry. But I’m afraid now is not the time to be angry at all. His children, and his wife, could run away at any moment, and he had to be on his guard!
“Yes, yes, yes, hurry up and book a flight. However, son, mom did this just to try to see what Lanlan’s feelings for you really are, and you don’t say, it really came out once I tried it.” Mrs. Xia felt that her well-intentioned lie was quite wise.
Xia Feiqing’s heart followed all of a sudden, “Then … what are her feelings for me?”
“After hearing me finish talking about you and Ning Jiao, those tears fell even faster, and it was weirdly hard for me to watch. Son, she’s really in love with you, so hurry back and coax her and explain!”
Xia Feiqing was convinced!
Obviously originally he had the upper hand, waiting for her to properly come to coax himself, but it turned out …
He was instantly reduced to the losing side by Mom.
Another sleepless night.
Cousin had already sent the time for the airfare to Hong Kong, which was at two o’clock in the afternoon.
At that time, it had been impossible to wait to leave this sad place, but now …
Because of the yet-to-be-expressed apology, and also because of the attachment in my heart, I really don’t want to go at all …
But what can we do if we don’t go?
He and Yu Ningjiao …
She suddenly didn’t want to think about it, tears staining her pillow.
Maybe that’s why they weren’t meant to be, going around in circles for so long, when they originally thought they were really going to start a new life with each other properly, but because of something like this, the trust disintegrated in an instant.
This, she can only be blamed for.
She got up and dragged out her long-packed bags, pressing some of the last ones under her suitcase as well.
She looked out the window at the rising sun, but there was a little chill in her heart.
Here and now …
Is he still with Yu Ningjiao? Are they, still in deep sleep?
She reached for her cell phone and dialed the string of numbers again.
For the last time …
She wanted to make one last effort, to apologize or to explain, or even to … confess. …
However, on the other side of the phone, this time it was just turned off.
How much expectation, how much disappointment. Heart, also with this loss, and little by little become cold.
Looks like not even a last chance …
She was sitting in a cab when her cousin called from Hong Kong at 1 p. m. to remind her to go out.
Luggage, piled up in the entire compartment in the back, but the heart was empty.
Time, not much left. Hurriedly arrived at the airport, after the luggage storage, smoothly through the security check. The sunlight from the window diffused in from outside, she smiled and tilted her head to look up, her hand gently covered the small belly, but the corner of her eye was already wet.
Baby, say goodbye to Daddy quietly!
Later …
Maybe there will be no more after …
The announcement urging boarding came over the radio, twice in a row, before she finally drew back and silently wiped away her tears, turning to follow the flow of people toward the gate.
The cell phone in his pocket, however, rang abruptly at this moment.
Thinking it was her cousin, she pulled it out and her whole body shook, her feet having stopped. Sourness, little by little, gathered in her chest, forcing her to barely breathe.
Pressed the green button, picked up, pressed to the ear. She didn’t make a sound, and on the other side, there was silence, too, only slightly heavy breathing.
