"Dad, I'm eating tomato and beef jerky today!" Nian Bing sat by the side of the table, a spoon in one hand as he impatiently shouted at Lei Yunze.
When he saw his daughter, Lei Yunze's taut face calmed down.
"Then I'll have to eat more." His tone was gentle and his eyes revealed a calm smile.
"I received a call from Shi Qing today. They might be back this week." Ling Xiao Yue sat across Lei Yunze and shared the good news.
"Yes." Lei Yunze acknowledged and began to eat. He was always a little distracted today.
After dinner, Ling Xiao Yue went to sleep with Nian Bing while Lei Yunze went to his study to take care of the unfinished work.
After she fell asleep, Ling Xiao Yue quietly left the room. As she passed by Lei Yunze's door, she secretly took a look. Lei Yunze was extremely focused as he sat in front of the computer.
"Qingwan." Qing Wan had returned to her hometown for the past few days and had not been in A City.
"Sister Ling, long time no see. Is something the matter?" Qing Wan had gone out to seek refuge for six years before finally returning home. It was truly difficult for Ling Xiaoyue to speak of this.
"Mm, when will you be back?" Ling Xiao Yue did not say it directly.
"It might take a few more days. What's the matter?"
"It's a matter of remembrance." After hesitating for a long while, Ling Xiao Yue told her.
After Yu Qingwan heard this, the other end of the line fell silent. After a long time, she finally spoke up, "Sister Ling, I actually think that you're the best at handling this matter from the start." Nian Bing would definitely know how to go along that path. Even if she were to lose her mind due to fear, with her extraordinary memory, she would not need to put a lot of effort to remember all of this. "
How could Ling Xiao Yue not have thought of Yu Qingwan's words?
"I'm afraid that I'll be injured a second time. I really don't want to see her like that day when she saw Qin An city." Ling Xiao Yue rejected him very decisively. Yu Qingwan understood why she loved her child so dearly as a parent.
"I know what you're thinking, but, since they brought Nian Bing to that place and met in such a remote place, it means that this place is absolutely safe for them, and cannot be discovered by others so easily. I advise you to not investigate any further since nothing has been determined. " From Yu Qingwan's tone, Ling Xiaoyue could tell that she was worried.
"I understand what you mean, but this is the only breakthrough." Leaning on the balcony, the winter evening wind rolled up her long hair. The bone-piercing cold wind woke her up. Without capturing the criminal she was thinking of kidnapping, Ling Xiao Yue could not rest at ease for a day.
"Then …"
Footsteps sounded behind her as Ling Xiaoyue suddenly turned around. Lei Yunze was standing not far from her with a coat in hand.
"I'll contact you later." Ling Xiao Yue hung up.
"Why are you here?" Ling Xiao Yue kept her cellphone.
"Come out for a glass of water and put on some clothes."
Ling Xiao Yue thanked him and took the jacket over. "I made a phone call with Qingwan, so I didn't notice while we were chatting."
Ling Xiaoyue felt that her explanation was too stiff, so Lei Yunze did not have much interest in it. With a casual grunt of acknowledgment, he left the balcony. Ling Xiaoyue did not want him to know that she had asked Yu Qingwan to investigate.
Yu Qingwan's words lingered in Ling Xiao Yue's ears. She quickly took a step forward in an attempt to hold Lei Yunze back. At this moment, Lei Yunze's body crashed into Ling Xiao Yue in his embrace.
The fragrance of the wooden perfume on his body had yet to dissipate as the sound of his heart beating echoed from his warm and broad chest. It even made Ling Xiaoyue absent-minded for a few seconds.
"I …" Ling Xiao Yue wanted to leave, but she was hugged by Lei Yunze's powerful arms.
"Don't talk, that's all." Lei Yunze's voice sounded above her. Ling Xiao Yue was momentarily unsure of what to do as she nodded slightly in his embrace.
With her permission, Lei Yunze tightened his arms and hugged her tightly. The heartbeat coming from his chest sounded pleasant, as if it was slightly accelerating.
The corners of Ling Xiaoyue's mouth involuntarily lifted as she raised her arm to embrace his waist.
Qiao Meng pushed open the door and entered the bedroom. She saw Qin An City leaning on the bed, playing a game.
"How do you only know how to play games? What's so fun about that lousy game of yours."
Qin An City did not care about Qiao Meng's expression at all. He focused on his cell phone and said, "It's nothing. It's just a friend shouting and playing is all." His eyes could not leave the screen. Just as Qiao Meng was about to go up and chop off her phone, she heard him shouting.
"A bunch of idiots, do you know how to fight?!" I wonder if I should clear out the troops first! Mom. "I've lost again!"
Qiao Meng was shocked by his voice. Seeing him angrily throw his phone to the side, Qiao Meng reached out and took the phone.
"Let me see what's so good about this crappy thing!" Qiao Meng clicked on the game and before she could see clearly, it was snatched back by Qin An.
"I don't want to play anymore, I don't want to play anymore!" Qin Yun put away his mobile phone and Qiao Meng became even angrier.
"Let me see what's wrong with your phone. Is there anything shameful about it? " Qiao Meng reached out her hand to ask him for it. Qin An City appeared to be annoyed and did not hand over the phone for a long time.
"What's there to look at? I'm not as expensive as you. I'm not as good as you. I'm not as valuable as you. Don't you think you can't look at yourself?" Qin An City had lost the game and was not in a good mood to begin with. Qiao Meng was still causing a ruckus with him. Even the little bit of patience he had left had been used up.
"Qin An city, are you hiding something from me!" Qiao Meng said with a serious face.
Qin An City shot her a glance before pulling up the blanket and lying down.
"How strange."
Upon hearing Qin An's words, Qiao Meng could no longer hold it in. She rushed over and lifted the blanket.
"What are you doing!?" I can't sleep! " Qin An City's anger surged.
Qiao Meng was alarmed by his shout. Qin An City had never spoken to her in such a manner before. Every time he spoke to her, he had to be careful not to make his voice sound too loud, afraid that he would scare her.
"You actually dare to shout at me. Qin An city, can you be like a man!?" Qiao Meng's voice was much louder and her sharp voice caused Qin An's ears to hurt.
"What's wrong with me?" It's like you ate gunpowder today, and you start to get angry at me the moment you get inside the house. "
Qiao Meng was so angry that her face turned red and white, "Other than playing games every day, there is nothing else you can do. You can't do something serious to make me look good! Every time my mom says you, I always defend you non-stop. I've arranged for you to get a job in the company, I beg for forgiveness from my mom, how can you be so heartless! " Qiao Meng's shout pierced the night sky. Thankfully, Qiao You and Ling Jiang had returned late that night. Otherwise, seeing the two of them arguing like this, it would have been a different story.
"I'm begging you?! Why are you so unfriendly? You asked me to resign at that time, and you say that we will be Ling Yun's big boss from now on, and I will resign after hearing your words. Now that you dislike me again, don't tell me you have your eyes on that pretty boy again? " Qin An City was not to be outdone. Normally, it was already enough to be angry at these two women. He was not someone to be trifled with for being inexplicably infuriated today.
