The night was getting darker, and the sky was getting darker. Xiao Hui looked at the time uneasily, and anxiously paced back and forth, from time to time he whispered, "It's all my fault, I shouldn't have interrogated the child like that …"
Xia Wan patted Xiao Hui's shoulder to comfort him, "Auntie, don't worry too much, Tang Shaofeng will definitely get Su La back." Although he said that, Xia Wan still revealed a worried expression.
Su La had ran out for a long time, but there was no news from his side.
Letting out a sigh, Xiao Hui took Xia Wan's hand and patted it lightly in his palm. He forced out a smile, "It's getting late, you should go rest first."
Xia Wan shook her head. Like Xiao Hui, she was very worried about Su La's whereabouts.
"There are two of you now, so you should go rest first." Xiao Hui helplessly lowered his head, thought about what happened earlier, and let out a long sigh, sighing with emotion, "That child could do such a thing …"
Xiao Hui suddenly held onto Xia Wan's hand tightly, his gaze looking straight at her, "I know that this is not fair to you, but I hope that you can forgive Su La."
Hearing Xiao Hui's words, Xia Wan's face froze. Although she understood Su La and felt that she had the temperament of a child, she was still the one giving herself the "birth control medicine". If Xiao Hui didn't notice, she would …
Xia Wan did not dare to think further, and only silently retracted his hand. He curled his fingers into a small fist, and it unconsciously avoided Xiao Hui's line of sight.
After thinking about it, Xiao Hui decided to tell Xia Wan about the conversation between her and Xiao Qiang on the phone. After all, when Su La returned, he still needed Xia Wan's forgiveness, "Su La indeed has something to do with Shaofeng … What they shouldn't have done was to blame the fact that they grew up together. They were on good terms with one another, and it was inevitable that... The main thing is that we didn't notice her change in time. "
Xia Wan listened quietly and could not help but frown.
"She's depressed. She came here to threaten Xiao Qiang with her own life. Xiao Qiang had no choice but to send her here." Xiao Hui looked troubled, he hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell Xia Wan about it.
Listening to Xiao Hui's narration, the haze in Xia Wan's heart was swept away, and he only felt that Su La was very pitiful, placing the right feelings onto the wrong person. She couldn't help but sigh. If she and Tang Shaofeng weren't cousins, they wouldn't have been in such pain, nor would they have hurt her intentionally because of their warped state of mind.
"She wants to apologize to you and bring Su La back." Xiao Hui stared at Xia Wan, and seeing that her expression was slightly at ease, the grip on her hand relaxed, and she continued speaking in a low voice, "I am also in the wrong in this matter, it is I who have let you down."
"Aunty, don't say such words," Xia Wan frowned, expressing his concern. "It doesn't matter, nothing happened anyway, as long as Su La can return home safely."
No matter what, Su La did not want to do this. She had only sincerely wrongly paid him and twisted her own emotions, thus she would do such a thing.
Xia Wan understood this feeling, and the ill feelings towards Su La also slowly melted away.
Xiao Hui looked at Xia Wan gratefully, took her hand, and regretfully pulled her to the side of the sofa and sat down.
Time ticked on, and they continued to wait.
Unknowingly, it was already 12 in the morning. The key that was stuck in the lock made a slight sound, but the sound still landed clearly in Xiao Hui and Xia Wan's ears.
"They're back," Xiao Hui stood up excitedly and walked towards the door.
Xia Wan also stood up and followed him.
The door slowly opened. Xiao Hui's heart was in his throat as he nervously held Xia Wan's hand.
Tang Shaofeng walked in expressionlessly, his head lowered without a word, behind him.
Su La lowered her head deeply. She had already prepared to accept the endless accusations and complaints, and just as her heart was about to fall and rise, she heard Xiao Hui say, "It's good that you're back."
With that, Xiao Hui grabbed Su La's hand, and looked at her from head to toe, confirming that she was not injured, "Are you hungry? Let's go and eat supper. "
Xia Wan also smiled warmly, "I'll go get you a cup of water first, you must be tired."
Su La raised her head in a daze, looked at Xiao Hui and Xia Wan blankly and touched her lips. She wanted to say something, no matter if she apologized or denied, she couldn't say it. Xiao Hui led her into the kitchen.
Xia Wan poured a cup of warm water and brought it in front of Su La. He looked at her gently and asked her to drink.
Su La received the cup in a daze, holding onto the cup, he quietly looked at the smooth and clear water in the cup. The expected scolding did not come. Instead, it was a warm concern. For a moment she was at a loss for words.
Knowing that she was not used to it, Xia Wan did not rush her and sat down by her side. Xiao Hui, on the other hand, was busy making midnight snacks.
Tang Shaofeng glanced at the kitchen from afar, his heart was in a mess. He never would have thought that Su La would have such thoughts about him, especially since the two of them had grown up together.
He was unable to face the feelings Su La had for him.
And because of him, Xia Wan had almost …
Tang Shaofeng faintly sighed, then silently walked back to the study room.
Since she had already found the person, Xiao Hui quickly called Xiao Qiang. She walked to the side and subconsciously lowered her voice, "Su La has found her, there's no need to worry."
"Alright, alright, alright," Xiao Qiang said hesitantly. "Su La, she didn't do anything stupid, right?"
"No, I made her a midnight snack. I'll let her eat later and then go to rest." Xiao Hui revealed a pleased smile.
Hearing that Su La was fine, Xiao Qiang's voice was cold, but tough, "Then let her make the call."
Xiao Hui detected the change in Xiao Qiang's tone of voice and frowned. "The child is back now, please do not talk about her."
"I know. You let her answer the phone." Xiao Qiang's attitude became unyielding.
Xiao Hui did not say anything. After all, the mother and daughter had something to say and it would be inconvenient for her to stop them. He held the phone and walked in front of Su La, caressing her head, then said gently: "Your mother told you to pick up the phone, tell her, she was very worried about you."
Receiving the phone, Su La nodded his head, he slowly moved the phone close to his ear and timidly said: "Mom."
"What's the matter with you, child?" Xiao Qiang's anger surged, "I promise to go find Tang Shaofeng, what do you promise me? You actually did such a thing? "
"How can you be so vicious? You won't even let the child in Xia Wan's stomach go!" Xiao Qiang reprimanded them one after another, and during the short time between them, he roared: "Come back right now."
"I don't want it." Su La's eyes reddened, feeling wronged, like a child who had done something wrong, and lost all courage to even quibble.
Xiao Qiang refused to forgive, "No! I can't possibly let you stay there after what you've done. "
"Please, let me stay." Su La's tears rolled in her eyes as she pleaded in a low voice, "I won't do that kind of thing again."
Su La's gaze turned sad, but he was helpless. It was as if he was helplessly watching the last traces of light in his life go out. She wanted to shout and beg, but she lost her direction like a boat drifting in the sea.
"No." Xiao Qiang's attitude was resolute, "Come back immediately."
Su La was unwilling, and no matter how much he pleaded, he was firmly rejected. He could not help but cry out loud and looked towards the direction of the study room disconsolately, his eyes filled with reluctance to part from Tang Shaofeng.
Following Su La's line of sight, Xia Wan saw through her thoughts. He took her phone and nodded resolutely to her, before bringing the phone to his ear.
Xiao Qiang was still reprimanding Su La from head to toe, he frowned and interrupted in a gentle voice, "Auntie, it's me, Xia Wan."
"Xia Wan..." Xiao Qiang awkwardly stopped and was unable to recover from his shock for a long time.
"It's like this, I see that Su La is very happy here, let's just let her play here for a while longer," Xia Wan gave Xiao Qiang face, but did not say a word about what had happened.
Seeing that the person in question had taken the initiative to speak up for Su La, Xiao Qiang did not know what to say.
"Alright, then auntie, we have a deal." Xia Wan's face was full of smiles as he got to the point and allowed Xiao Qiang to accept it first.
Xiao Qiang replied and when he heard that Su La was the one on the other end, he warned him sincerely: "I can make you stay there, but you can't be messing around anymore."
Although he promised Su La to stay, Xiao Qiang was actually very worried. Su La had already gone out of bounds this time, it was hard to guarantee that he would be even more excessive next time. If something were to happen to Xia Wan and the child in her womb, how could she face the Tang Family.
Hearing that, Su La seemed to have seen the light of dawn, he immediately stopped crying and agreed.
"This time's matter absolutely cannot happen again. No matter what you think," Xiao Qiang tried his best to make his words sound smooth so that he wouldn't hurt Su La, "You still have to work hard to accept the status quo."
Tang Shaofeng is Xia Wan's husband, but he treats you as his little sister. Since it was like this, Xiao Qiang did not say it out loud. She felt that Su La should understand and just accept it or not.
Su La hesitated and did not reply. His gaze fixed on one place.
In the end, Xiao Qiang still did not forget to warn her, "If you continue acting recklessly, I'll personally come and bring you back."
"No, I promise." Su La took a whiff of her red nose and tightened the fingers on his phone.
Hearing Su La's guarantee again, Xiao Qiang finally hung up the phone with worry.
Xia Wan who was listening at the side felt helpless. This Su La had already promised repeatedly, why was Xiao Qiang not willing to believe her?
Seeing that the tears on Su La's face had not dried yet, Xia Wan handed over a tissue and comforted him softly, "Don't worry, as long as you don't want to go, no one can force you away."
Su La shook Xia Wan's hand off bitterly. The expression on his face was as though he was envious of the other party's extreme disgust.
Just then, Xiao Hui quietly pulled on Xia Wan's sleeves, waiting for her to turn around, and gave her a look.
The two of them walked to the corner.
Xia Wan looked inquisitively at Xiao Hui, she suddenly pulled him over, she must have something to say.
Xiao Hui stretched out his neck, took a glance in Su La's direction, and then warned in a low voice, "Su La is a little sick now, you should be careful, Keke. Don't get too close to her."
