It was as if Lin Yufan and I had been separated for a century.
He asked me over and over and finally collapsed on top of me...
"Yufan …" I called out his name, but I didn't know where to start. I called out his name and stopped there.
So many things had happened between us, and so many years apart, and now, when we were all gathered together like this, it was like a dream.
I didn't even dare speak, for fear of waking up a dream — a dream that belonged between us.
I didn't dare to say anything for fear that Lin Yufan would wake up from his dream. He's drunk now, and if he wakes up, will he remember it, and if he wakes up, will he come looking for me?
I lay under Lin Yufan's body, not daring to move.
"I divorced Gu Yifei after the Spring Festival." As Lin Yufan spoke, he slowly sat up and reached for his coat to cover my body, "She lied to me. This child really isn't mine."
Lin Yufan told me that at that time, I clearly remembered that he was with Gu Yifei after drinking wine, but Gu Yifei insisted that she was pregnant with his child, making him speechless.
After the child was born, he suffered from cerebral palsy. Such a young person looked so pitiful, so Lin Yufan wholeheartedly focused on treating the child. However, he didn't expect that after the blood transfusion, he wouldn't be the child's father at all.
"Then... Does she agree? " I looked at Lin Yufan and asked with some difficulty.
"I don't agree." As Lin Yufan spoke, he painfully shook his head, "My mother doesn't agree either, this makes me very confused. After such a thing happened, she actually doesn't care, and she still treats her child well as usual. This makes me somewhat confused. Possible... Do the old people like children? "
Old people like children? Then why didn't she like my children? I remembered my two miscarriages.
However, I didn't say anything. Lin Yufan was currently in a bad mood.
Let's talk about this after the new year." I looked at Lin Yufan. Under the moonlight, Lin Yufan's silhouette was becoming clearer, but his eyes were filled with sorrow and melancholy.
"Yes." Lin Yufan looked at me, and I was already slowly putting on my clothes. He looked at me for a while, and then reached out his hand to help me put on my clothes, "8 o'clock, I'm sorry …" "My mother never allowed you to enter my house, nor that incident …"
"Don't say anymore!" I looked at Lin Yufan and covered his mouth with my hand.
That matter was my shame. I didn't expect Lin Yufan to forgive me. On New Year's Eve, I was already satisfied that Lin Yufan was able to come see me.
Life doesn't mean much for me, but there are also many things that I can take back. Right now, I can basically accept my fate.
My life isn't good, I've been tough since I was young, and the family around me has always been in constant trouble, Lin Yufan. Even though I like him that much, I really don't want to harm him just because of my bad luck.
After Lin Yufan and I parted ways, I quietly went upstairs. Recalling the scene from before, my heart couldn't calm down for a long time.
Looking out the window at the moonlight, I lay in bed tossing and turning.
Tonight is New Year's Eve, tomorrow is the first day of the new year, so what will be waiting for me?
On the sixth day of the new year, the restaurant was preparing to open for business. Due to Liu Da's job hopping, I had to hire the chef that Mu Qinghua recommended to me, Zhang Guangli, who was good at cooking. Because Liu Da stayed in the restaurant for quite a long time, he also raised two disciples.
Liu Da was still generous enough to not take his two disciples with him. This way, Cui Xin Xuan could manage the palace dishes while adding the hotpot.
Because Cui Xinxuan had run the palace dishes for so long, they still had some old customers thanks to their old brand.
Due to Master Zhang Guangli's hot pot, the taste was indeed extraordinary, so we purposely typed it on the electronic screen: "Cui Xin Xuan's newly released special secret hotpot, welcome to try it!"
In the end, Liu Da's departure didn't cause Cui Xinxuan's business to be cold. However, De Sheng Long's business became even more popular.
It was around the tenth day of the new year when news of Lin Yufan and Gu Yifei's divorce arrived.
The waiters at the restaurant heard of this news first.
"I heard Gu Yifei won't leave no matter what!"
"Yeah, it seems like Lin Yufan's mother disagrees, but Lin Yufan is determined!"
"That's right, how can he not give up? This child isn't Lin Yufan's, but rather his brain …"
Various languages entered my mind, and my heart momentarily lost its calm.
I know that for Lin Yufan's public figures, things like a divorce must have caused a sensation in the entire city.
I took out my cell phone and looked at Lin Yufan. Instantly, there was overwhelming news of his divorce.
Mu Qinghua came, did he ask me about this? I nodded.
"What are you going to do? Now is the chance to return to Lin Yufan's side. " Mu Qinghua reminded me.
I thought about the time I was kidnapped and lost my courage. It was like an eggplant in autumn suddenly getting beaten by the frost.
"He won't forgive me. After what happened to me, with Lin Yufan's status, it's impossible." I said sadly, but the scene that Lin Yufan almost crazily wanted me to do appeared in my mind.
What was he doing that night?
I remember him saying something to me, he said, "The last person you think of, should be the closest person", that day, did he finally think of me as the closest person?
However, after he woke up, he didn't give me a phone call.
What did this mean?
This meant that it was difficult for Lin Yufan to let go of this matter. There was no other explanation.
I looked at Mu Qinghua and smiled, "That's impossible."
"Is it because of that?" Mu Qinghua looked at me and asked with some concern.
"Yes." With his identity and family, it's impossible for the two of us to be together. " I looked at Mu Qinghua and laughed bitterly.
Mu Qinghua nodded and sighed, "Oh yes, I heard that the criminal gang in Henan has already been apprehended and that the boss named Xu Chengguang escaped. The Henan Public Security Bureau is currently looking for him throughout the country."
My heart thumped. Xu Chengguang was the boss that I was at that time.
That was when I signed that humiliating contract with him.
Although very few people call him by his real name, Xu Chengguang, they all call him boss, but I still know his real name.
"Oh." I looked at Mu Qinghua, not knowing what to say.
"Zhao Duo told me that you and him are innocent. If he catches you, you must go and clarify this matter." Mu Qinghua looked at me and said seriously.
