"I'm sorry!" Xiao Yun Zheng felt extremely guilty, he could not forgive himself, "Brother's matter is related to me to a certain extent … If I hadn't softly promised Jing Xue that I would return, this would not have been the result we achieved today! "
Lin Wan Bai still did not say anything, and did not blame him.
If Lu Jing Xue was determined to not let them off, even without Xiao Yun Zheng, this would happen.
Lin Wan Bai turned around and continued to walk up the stairs. He held on to the armrest and very carefully stepped onto the stairs.
"Jing Xue committed suicide."
Hearing the words behind her, she didn't even pause her steps.
To Lin Wan Bai, whether Lu Jing Xue lived or died had nothing to do with her. If it wasn't for the police who came up to her that day, she would have definitely strangled him to death due to her intense hatred.
Xiao Yun Zheng had also received the news when she was leaving the cemetery. When Huo Chang Yuan was at his funeral, he had swallowed the steel nails while the guards were not paying attention. Since it was no longer effective, he declared the corpse to be dead.
"Although the matter has developed to this point and is not what I wanted to see, the things that Jing Xue has done are unforgivable and she deserves it now …" Xiao Yun Zheng felt very sad in his heart, and also felt a deep sense of powerlessness. He looked at her back and slowly said, "Father has completely relied on his willpower for these past two days, Hauptmann's cannot be a group of dragons without a leader. Tomorrow, I will go to the company and help big bro persevere on!"
Just as Lin Wan Bai's figure was about to fade upstairs, a low voice came out, "Thank you for your hard work."
As the name implied, the Ice City's winter season was extremely cold, and it was a kind of straightforward and cruel cold.
In four months, Lin Wan Bai felt as if four years had passed once again.
Even though she was wearing loose clothes, she could no longer hide her body. Her belly was as round as a rubber ball. Just yesterday, she had gone for a labor checkup. The fetus was developing very healthy and very active, and it moved very quickly.
As he pulled open the curtain of the window, snow was flying everywhere.
The weather forecast had been snowing since early morning, and up until now, as the months grew bigger and bigger, it was also easier for Lin Wan Bai to fall asleep. At this point of time, when he woke up, the ground was already covered with layers of thick snow.
In the courtyard, a small, obese figure that looked like a dumpling could be seen running back and forth in the snow.
Lin Wan Bai walked downstairs, and the little bun who had gone mad also ran into the villa. He shook off his hat and gloves and ran towards her as if he was a spoiled dog, "Mom ~"
It's not easy for her to get down on her stomach now, so she took her son's hand and sat down on the sofa, covering his face and nose with her palm. Your nose is so red from the cold, drink this cup of hot milk first! "
"En!" The little bun nodded obediently.
He held the cup of milk and gulped it down. He wiped his lips and said, "It's warm now. Baby needs another glass ~"
Lin Wan Bai could not help but laugh, and gave the empty cup to Aunt Li, who took it to pour a new one.
"Mom, is little sister obedient today?"
Lin Wan Bai laughed and picked up his little hand, "Very obedient, feel it!"
Every time the little bun touched it, he would have a rich expression on his face. When he touched it, he would even place his little hand against his face.
Lin Wan Bai looked at his little movements with a smile, then suddenly asked unexpectedly: "Mother, when will Dung be back?"
"He will come back!" She hesitated, then slowly said.
The little bun frowned worriedly. His soft voice was full of worry, "But Auntie Chu Yu said that my little sister is going to be born in less than a month. If he doesn't come back soon, won't he be unable to see her born?"
Lin Wan Bai curled his lips, "Darling, don't worry, your Dung will definitely return!"
This was the sentence that she had repeated the most in the past four months.
Every time the little bun would ask her why Huo Chang Yuan hadn't come back from his business trip, she would tell him like this without any hesitation.
It wasn't that Lin Wan Bai didn't see it, but not far away, Aunt Li, who was carrying a cup of milk, secretly raised her hand and used her sleeve to wipe the light of water at the corner of her eyes when she heard their conversation.
She knew that they all thought she was lying to herself.
She did not go to Huo Chang Yuan's funeral, nor did she attend it. She had not stepped into the cemetery even once.
Although everyone had advised her to open up a little, and Zheng Chu Yu had even wanted to find a therapist to talk to, for some reason, she had a belief that Huo Chang Yuan didn't die, and would return instead …
Even Lin Wan Bai himself was not sure where this confidence came from.
Maybe she was subconsciously unwilling to accept the fact that Huo Chang Yuan had left, or maybe she really had some sort of perception and sensed that he had not left her presence yet.
"Grandfather!"
The little bun looked behind her and suddenly shouted.
Lin Wan Bai turned his head around upon hearing the voice and saw that Lu Xue Lin, who had entered the room unknowingly, had just taken off his coat. There were still some unmelted snow on top of his head as he caught the little bun that was running over, Lu Xue Lin smiled lovingly and replied, "Hey, Dou Dou, quickly let Grandfather hug you!"
Afraid that the little bun who had been snowing all morning would catch a cold, Aunt Li brought him upstairs to change into dry clothes.
Only the father and daughter pair were left in the living room. Lu Xue Lin muttered to himself, "Wan Bai, can I take you and Dou Dou to Germany?"
Lin Wan Bai's eyes were drooping, he was tidying up the gloves on Little Bun's hat that he had just taken off, and did not make a sound.
"We're going to Berlin. Your mother came to see me before, and we had a very short, happy time there!" Lu Xue Lin warmly advised, not because he wanted to move her there, but because he wanted her to temporarily leave the Ice City. "The environment and the air there are pretty good, and I've already understood in advance, there are also many bilingual kindergartens and schools there. In the future, children don't need to worry about education even when they grow up! I have already discussed this with my family, and Brother Huo also has no objections, he will support your decision! "
After he finished speaking, Lin Wan Bai shook his head, "No need, Dad."
How could she not know the painstaking efforts of her father? She even mentioned her mother, hoping to move her heart.
Lin Wan Bai looked into Lu Xue Lin's eyes and said softly, "Dad, it's the same wherever I go. I want to guard this place, what I promised Huo Chang Yuan, life is his man, death is his ghost! "
Even though it was just a joke, she kept it in mind.
Seeing her stubborn expression, Lu Xue Lin could only sigh and give up on this idea.
Not long after Lu Xue Lin left, Zheng Chu Yu came back quickly. Ever since he had returned to attend their wedding, Zheng Chu Yu and Li Jiang Nan had stayed at Ice City the entire time. The former had even found a job, but the latter had always been willing to transfer part of their business to the continent.
