Mo Chi only returned home late. What she didn't expect was that Long Fei still hadn't come back yet. The room was empty. Rita had called her at night to ask for a night off, so when she came back, even Rinda had left. She was used to being received at home every day, so she really didn't get used to it at the moment.
Mo Chi returned to the bedroom, went into the bathroom to shower and change his clothes. When he came out, he still didn't see Long Fei return. If he took out his phone and was about to call him, then he would have to take out his phone to find out when the phone shut down.
She had been too engrossed in chatting at the imperial household to notice that the phone had automatically shut down. She found the charger and charged it, then picked up the phone and dialed Long Fei's number. After the phone rang a few times, a familiar voice rang: "Hello, are you looking for Long Fei?"
It was Yao Zhu's voice. Mo Chi's heart skipped a beat, he thought to himself, why is it her who answered the phone? Why was it this woman again? Gloomily taking a deep breath, she calmly said, "To call Long Fei is, of course, to look for Long Fei."
"Oh, it's Miss Mo?" Yao Zhu said with a smile, "Long Fei is taking a bath in the hotel, but Miss Mo should not misunderstand. Just now, Long Fei's clothes were splashed with wine by a little troublemaker, so he went to the guest room to take a bath."
"Hmm, you haven't finished yet? When are you planning to disperse? " The surroundings were quiet, but Mo Chi's heart started to turn cold. In such a quiet environment, other than staying in the suite, what else could he do? Yao Zhu's explanation was very similar to 'nothing is worth more than money'. When Mo Chi heard it, he felt that it was extremely ear-piercing, but he could only pretend to be very casual.
"About this …" Yao Zhu thought about it awkwardly and said, "I don't know yet, but those drunkards said they still have the second half, so they will probably have to play all night again. Don't worry Miss Mo, I will get Long Fei to call you back later."
"Well, thank you." After Mo Chi finished speaking, he quickly hung up the phone. She really didn't want to hear Yao Zhu's polite but tactful words, so she put down the microphone and realized that her knuckles had turned pale.
After hanging up, Mo Chi sat by the phone without moving, but the phone beside him never rang again. He liked to take a bath and roll the sheets with a woman in his arms. According to him, he liked the smell of the shower and her body fragrance the most. This was something he had personally said to her, and it was filled with love. And tonight, Yao Zhu would replace her. It would be a completely different kind of atmosphere.
After sitting by the phone for twenty minutes, Mo Chi finally stood up from her chair and looked around the empty room. She suddenly didn't want to stay in this room any longer. She looked at the time on the wall. The hour hand was right at twelve.
Long Fei returned to the bathroom and saw Yao Zhu holding his phone. He walked over and took it from her. Yao Zhu said with a smile, "Long Fei, I remember that your cellphone used to have many small games. Why is it gone now?"
"It's matured and I don't like to play anymore." Long Fei pressed down the call log, but didn't find any new records.
Yao Zhu paused before speaking again, "Why isn't your wife looking for you to go home? Are you that confident that you're outside?"
"She's here to visit me. I don't think she has time to pay attention to me." Long Fei had just received a text message from Jian Qian Ning, informing him that Mo Chi was visiting her and that he didn't have to worry or look for her. Therefore, he didn't bother Mo Chi for the whole night.
"That won't do. If you make a mistake outside, then she has a lot of responsibility." Yao Zhu laughed as she spoke, turned her head away and lightly bit her lips. She thought to herself that Long Fei had indeed changed, matured, and become much more rational. No matter how enticing she was, it was useless.
Long Fei looked at the time and found that it was already 12 o'clock. He pulled out the phone number for Jian Chen. The phone was in a state where it could not be reached. This was the answer even after several attempts. He did not know the reason behind it.
He then called home. The phone was connected, but no one answered for a long time. Had she fallen asleep? However, she usually didn't have much sleep, so she didn't want to wake up even after arguing over the phone for so long.
A sense of unease slowly arose in Long Fei's heart. He was worried about her. He stood up from the sofa and said to everyone, "I'm sorry everyone, I have to go home first. Let's meet again another day."
The chattering crowd instantly quietened down and they all stared at him. Yao Zhu was the first to speak: "What are you doing? Didn't you say that you would be going to the second half later? It's only 12 o'clock, and we bunch of female classmates don't even plan to go home.
"That's right. Look at how rare it is for me to return to the country. You aren't even giving me this much face?" A male classmate echoed.
Long Fei was a bit helpless, "I'm sorry, I suddenly remembered that I still have things to do at home, so I had no choice but to return."
"An excuse!" This excuse is too lousy, I can't reply. " The other female classmate shouted that everyone was protesting and did not intend to let them go. Helpless, Long Fei could only sit back down on the sofa. Even though he had sat back down, his heart was not as relaxed and at ease as it was before. He was constantly thinking about where Mo Chi was and whether he had fallen asleep.
Mo Chi and Long Han's gazes met. The two of them were stunned for a split-second. Mo Chi even slowed his pace. If he knew that Long Han was at home, he definitely wouldn't have come back alone.
"Mo Chi, why did you come back so late? What about Long Fei? He's not with you? It can't be that you two are fighting, right? " Madame Long stood up and sized her up, clearly confused by her sudden return.
"No, no." Mo Chi was still standing at the same place, smiling as he shook his head and said, "Long Fei was having dinner with a bunch of classmates at the hotel. I was scared to be alone at home, so I came back to stay here, Mom … You all haven't slept yet. "
"I can't sleep, but it's time to go to sleep." Long Fei looked at the time on the wall and said, "You guys should also go to bed early. Mo Chi, go back to your room and take a bath. Long Fei is too outrageous. He stayed out so late by himself."
"I know, Mom." Mo Chi nodded and watched as Madam Long slowly walked up the stairs.
After Madam Long went upstairs, Mo Chi looked at Long Han once again. He broke the silence with a dry smile, "Isn't this the art exhibition held in Lin City? Why are you back so soon? I thought you'd be back at least a week or two. "
"Come here and have a cup of tea. I've just made Longjing." Long Han poured a cup of Longjing for her before answering, "This time, it's just a small art exhibition. It will only be for a few days. I'll just hand it over to someone else."
Oh, no wonder you came back so early." Mo Chi hesitated for a moment, then walked over to the sofa and sat down. He picked up a cup of tea and took a sip. It was the fragrant Longjing. The Longjing that she liked was, of course, the one that Long Han liked. Long Han had liked it a long time ago. And she would like to drink Longjing tea, which was entirely driven by Long Han's infatuation.
In the past, when the two of them dated, they didn't go to the coffee shop for a bath. Instead, they would go to a tea shop that only the elderly liked to go to. In the past two years, Long Han hadn't changed this habit of his. Perhaps habit really wasn't easy to change!
"I just brought back this Dragon Well from Lin City. I brought quite a bit with me. You can bring some to drink tomorrow." Long Han said.
Mo Chi shook his head, "There's no need. Long Fei usually doesn't drink Dragoon Tea, so I've been drinking very little these past two years. I don't like it that much anymore." Actually, it wasn't that she didn't like it, but she couldn't find anyone to drink tea with. As time passed, she had completely forgotten about this hobby.
"Is that so?" Long Han smiled sadly. He didn't like it that much anymore … Had she gradually forgotten Longjing along with his men? Two years wasn't a long or short period of time, but it was more than enough to dilute a person's feelings. Long Han suddenly felt a trace of infinite desolation, the desolation after people had left the tea house.
After a moment of silence, Long Han asked again, "Does Big Brother often go out by himself and come back late?"
"No, it's rare." Mo Chi instinctively opened his mouth to speak for Long Fei, "Today, it's because a few of our classmates just came back from abroad and we haven't seen each other for a long time, so we gathered together in the hotel. Heh!"
As he said this, Mo Chi's heart felt like it was being pierced by needles. She didn't understand why she was so anxious to defend Long Fei. Was it to help Long Fei maintain a good image, or to divulge to Long Han that she was having a good life?
Long Fei wasn't simply opening a reunion. His first love had come back and was currently with him. However, she couldn't talk to Long Han about this. She couldn't let him worry about her or be unfair to her. She was willing to shoulder all the grievances herself.
"Long Han, thank you for your Longjing Tea. It's too late at night. I'm going back to my room to rest." Mo Chi stood up from the sofa and walked upstairs. Long Han could only watch her figure gradually disappear on the spiral staircase, even though he really didn't want to part with her.
This Mo Chi didn't come back often. After the wedding, she and Long Fei moved out. In order to keep her away from Long Han, Long Fei suggested to move out. It was also because of Long Han that Long Fei didn't like coming back. It seemed like his worry was right, because he could run into Long Han at any time here. And tonight, she really did encounter Long Han.
Lying on the bed, Mo Chi was not sleepy at all, his heart was filled with a sense of restlessness that he had never felt before. Her mind was filled with thoughts of whether Long Han was still drinking tea downstairs, or whether Long Fei and Yao Zhu were currently sleeping on the same bed together. In short, her brain could not calm down for even a moment, so she finally couldn't lie down.
It was dark outside the window, and the lanterns in the yard were out. They could light up a field of flowers and plants by relying on the moonlight.
Mo Chi, who was unable to fall asleep, got off the bed and carefully walked out of the bedroom with his slippers on. When he discovered that the lights downstairs had changed to dark walls, it seemed like Long Han had already returned to his room to sleep.
The garden was so quiet that only the chirping of insects could be heard. Passing through two towering ancient trees, Mo Chi walked over to the Qianduan Shelter and sat down. He took off his slippers and sat on the swing.
This Qiuqiang was prepared by the servants during the Dragon Banquet. Mo Chi already had it when he first came in. When the Dragon Banquet wasn't going to be held, she liked to hide in the yard by herself and sit on the Qiujia rack to read.
It was impossible for her to read at this late hour. She could only sit on the autumn stand and raise her head to look at the dusky sky. It was indeed much more comfortable to sit here looking at the few stars that hung far in the sky than to lie in bed.
Mo Chi closed his eyes and thought that if he could spend the night here, he would definitely be able to sleep well.
Just as Mo Chi closed his eyes, he heard the sound of steady but very light footsteps behind him. Instinctively, she straightened up, thinking that it must be some servant or bodyguard who was moving around the courtyard at night and couldn't let them see her sleeping here.
However, she didn't expect that the person who came was Long Han, the person she thought had gone back to his room to sleep. Mo Chi was stunned, he sized him up in surprise: "You … "It's so late, why haven't you slept yet?"
"What about you? Didn't I just say that I'm going back to my room to sleep? Why did you come out here and stare blankly? " Long Han walked to the stone chair beside her and sat down. Just now, he didn't go back to his room. After Mo Chi left, he went out to enjoy the wind in the garden and never left. After Mo Chi came out again, he had been paying attention to her every move. Seeing her in a daze, he could not help but come up to greet her.
"The room is too stuffy to sleep." As Mo Chi said this, Long Han smiled, "Then that's it. You will feel bored, so of course I will feel the same. That's why I came out to get some fresh air. I didn't expect to meet you so coincidentally."
Mo Chi smiled as well. He lowered his eyes and did not say anything. His body was still gently swaying on the Qianduan Platform. The shadow of the tree shook her figure into a field of flowers and grass. Long Han didn't dare to look at her directly. He could only look at the shadow and watch it grow bigger and darker. The two of them were silent as they passed by one second at a time.
Finally he said, looking back into her face, "Mo Chi, he must have hurt you so much that you came home to live alone, right? Is he home now? Is he bullying you again? "
Mo Chi's eyes were lowered, and a wave of heat rushed up to his eyes. To be cared for by the man he loved deeply, how touching would that be? However, she couldn't force the tears out of her eyes. She could only try her best to remain calm and say, "No, he didn't bully me. He never bullied me. He treats me very well. If you don't believe me, you can ask Rita."
Just as Mo Chi finished his sentence, his phone suddenly rang. She took out her phone and looked at it, then waved the phone in front of him with a smile, "Look, the call he gave me was probably already gone. He couldn't find me."
Long Han swept a glance at her phone and indeed saw Long Fei's number on it. He didn't have time to have any reaction, so Mo Chi quickly went inside the room, running back to the bedroom to answer the call the moment Long Fei was about to hang up. Before she could say anything, Long Fei went straight to the point: "Mo Chi, where are you? "Why aren't you home so late?"
"I'm going back to the Long Residence." She walked to the window and lifted the curtain to take a look outside. She saw Long Han still sitting blankly on the stone chair. It was the same action as earlier, the same melancholy.
"What are you doing back there? Why didn't you tell me before you went back? " Long Fei reproached unhappily.
Mo Chi took in a light breath and suppressed the anger in his heart. However, his tone still carried a trace of provocation, "Please understand, it's not that I didn't call you, but I did. You and Miss Yao are so busy that you have to pick up my phone. "I want to tell you that I'm scared when I'm alone at home, but you don't have the time to care about me, so I can only return to the Long Residence."
"When did you call me?" Long Fei frowned and started to press the button. However, he didn't see Mo Chi's number, nor did he see any unfamiliar number. He didn't even believe Mo Chi's words.
"Check the caller ID. I don't want to discuss this boring issue with you. I'm going to bed. I hope you won't disturb me again." "Also, I would like to remind you to wash your body properly before going back home. I have a germaphobe in that area!"
"What do you mean? Mo Chi, explain it clearly to me! " Unfortunately, he still had his words in his mouth, and Mo Chi had already hung up. After hanging up the call, Mo Chi fiercely threw his phone's battery into the corner of the bed, then laid down on the bed and pulled up the blanket to cover himself inside.
She recalled the two times she had forced a smile in front of Long Han. Her heart felt somewhat depressed and uncomfortable.
It seemed like his disguise tonight hadn't been successful, which was why Long Han and Jian Qianlin had been able to see through his intentions with a glance.
Just from the sound of the footsteps, Mo Chi could tell that Long Fei was definitely angry, but what qualifications did he have to be angry? Was it just because I hung up on him just now? He should be full of guilt tonight.
Long Fei didn't waste time talking to her and went into the room to press the light switch. Without even changing his clothes, he walked to the bedside and grabbed her wrist, pulling her out of bed. He glared at her. "Stop pretending to sleep here."
If Mo Chi wasn't awake, he would have been scared out of his wits by his violent actions. At this moment, her hair was in disarray, her clothes were in disarray, and her eyes were even drowsy. What made Long Fei most angry was her calmness, which was as tranquil as water.
"You made a lot of noise the moment you got back. Are you going to wake up the whole family?" Mo Chi sized him up from top to bottom. He was still wearing the same clothes he had worn in the morning when he left the house. He was still as neat and tidy as in the morning. Even his hair was as neat and neat as his hair. Looking at how it looked, it was as if nothing had happened.
If she hadn't heard Yao Zhu say that Long Fei was taking a bath, she wouldn't have been able to tell that he had taken a bath or done anything else. Long Fei was a very tidy person. Whether it was his life or his work, he liked to be meticulous.
"Why did you hang up on me?" Long Fei lowered his voice, but it was still filled with anger.
"I'll hang up if I don't want to tell you. What's so good about that?" Mo Chi tried to break free from his palm, but like every time, he couldn't move at all. In the end, he could only dejectedly allow his palm to wrap around him like a steel ring.
"Your temper is getting worse now. Why did you come all the way back to the Dragon Manor?" "Don't tell me it's because you don't dare to live there by yourself. Even you might not believe this kind of nonsense."
Mo Chi sneered. His sleepiness had also cleared up a lot at this moment. She said lightly: "Otherwise, what do you think it is for? To specifically come back and see Long Han? What else can you think of but this? "
"Isn't it? In the past, when Long Han wasn't home, you never took the initiative to ask to come back. Instead, you came back in the middle of the night. What are you trying to do, walking in the garden with him? "
Mo Chi was astonished. She didn't expect Long Fei to find out about her and Long Han's matter in the garden so quickly. She and Long Han didn't even stay in the garden for five minutes, but they were already snitched on. It seemed like the people in the Dragon Residence were not reliable. They really did want the world to be free from chaos, but they just didn't know what their intentions were.
She gritted her teeth and said word by word, "I want to divorce you and marry him. Are you satisfied?"
Long Fei was stunned, looking at her in astonishment, "What did you say? "Say it again."
"I'm going to divorce you." Mo Chi still used a clear tone to say those words. She hadn't thought about it, but her heart was filled with grievances and anger, which forced her to say such words. If she divorced Long Fei, would she still leave? Could she still divorce the child when he was already taking shape day by day? Even if it was for the sake of a child, it shouldn't be possible, right?
Long Fei used his fingers to pinch her lower jaw and asked blankly: "Are you sure you want to leave? Are you sure you're serious? "
"Yes." she said sulkily. Although she didn't love Long Fei and also wanted to divorce him, today was still the first time that she said the word 'divorce' in her heart. It was no wonder that Long Fei was so astonished. Even she herself felt this was inconceivable.
