After an unknown amount of time, Zuo Zixian only knew that when he was about to die from his kiss, he finally let go of her and stopped this seemingly longest kiss they had ever known.
Under the dim yellow light, her cheeks were as beautiful as sunset clouds, which almost made Ling Yiheng want to kiss her again. Still, he controlled himself. For he was afraid that if this went on, the situation might get out of hand, and he didn't have the boldness of a Frenchman and didn't want to put on a play that wasn't suitable for children.
She didn't know how it had happened, but she did know that she had kissed him back so eagerly. When she thought back to how she had looked, she was so shy that she almost wanted to bury herself in the ground.
Why did she kiss him back? What had happened to her? This man had cast some sort of spell on her, causing her feelings towards him to change bit by bit. Her heart no longer seemed to be under her control.
"You're shy." His clear voice was as intoxicating as red wine, causing the color of Zuo Zixian's cheeks to darken a little, as if they were dripping with blood.
She did not speak. She did not know how to speak, but she was also flustered.
Zuo Zixian, who was acting like a little girl, made it even harder for Ling Yiheng to look away. He could not help but pull her into his arms again, whispering into her ear while she was trembling, "Can we go to your house?"
It was no doubt his invitation, and she knew what it meant. Their first time was in her house, in her room … That was something she would never forget.
Zuo Zixian was shocked but also had a trace of anticipation. Just as he was about to say something, Ling Yiheng's phone rang from his pocket.
He wanted to cut her off with a pinch of impatience, but then he saw her raise her head and smile like a goddess of the moon. "Answer the call, I'll wait for you."
This sentence seemed to have some sort of magic, causing him to unconsciously want to listen. In particular, the words "I'll wait for you" made her sound like a wife waiting for her husband. He had never experienced such a feeling before, but it was both wonderful and joyful.
Ling Yiheng was surrounded by the surging feeling from the bottom of his heart. Only after a while did he regain his composure.
He picked up the phone and looked at the caller ID. It was Zhou Heng.
"Hello." Ling Yiheng picked up the phone, his tone was as cold as usual, completely opposite to the gentleness he had when facing Zuo Zixian.
Zuo Zi Wu looked at his suddenly changed appearance and couldn't help but want to laugh. After all, a man who was still gentle and affectionate just a moment ago had suddenly changed to a tyrannical CEO, which really made people feel uncomfortable.
However, it seemed that this was Ling Yiheng's usual look, so there was nothing strange about it.
"Boss, the madame has been hospitalized and has been sent to the Ling family's private hospital. However, the current situation isn't too good. Doctor Dare hopes that you can return as soon as possible." Zhou Heng's voice came over the phone. It sounded like he was very tired, but his tone was also very serious.
Ling Yiheng's face immediately darkened, "Is it very serious?" For what reason? "
He had actually come to France this time, partly to help Zuo Zixian deal with things, and partly to avoid his mother. Because his mother had always wanted to force him to marry Qiu Shitong, he couldn't bear the disturbance, so he decided to avoid her whenever he wanted.
However, he had not expected that she would suddenly go to the hospital.
"The madame accidentally slipped on the stairs after shopping today, causing a heart attack. It was fortunate that the butler found out that she had been sent to the hospital. Otherwise, the situation would have been dire." Zhou Heng did not dare to hide anything from Ling Yiheng. He immediately reported the entire situation.
Ling Yiheng's eyes, which were as clear as the stars, quickly dimmed down as if they were covered by a thick layer of fog.
"I got it. Help me book the nearest ticket back to the country. I'll be there as soon as possible."
"OK, Boss, I got it. I'll book it now."
After he hung up, Zuo Zixian looked at him worriedly and asked, "What happened?"
Although she didn't know what was said on the other end of the phone, she could tell from Ling Yiheng's expression and his eagerness to return home that something serious must have happened.
Otherwise, a man like him, who had a straight face before Mount Tai, would not normally reveal his emotions.
Even though she didn't seem to realize it herself, her concern for him was so natural.
"My mom is in the hospital. I need to go home immediately." The instant he blurted it out, he felt some regret. He rarely talked about his family matters, but he was willing to tell her now that even he himself couldn't go through all these years.
"Then quickly book a plane ticket and go back. I believe your mother will definitely be fine." Her clear, bright eyes were filled with concern for him, and she did not try to hide it. Or perhaps she had forgotten to hide it.
