Ling Yiheng suspected that something was wrong with his ears. He didn't think that Mika would actually agree to his ridiculous request. Only when he saw the serious look on her face did he finally confirm what she just said.
"Yi Heng, I am also very concerned about Auntie Nguyen's health. So, since this can make Auntie Nguyen happy, or even make her better, then I can. "
Listening to Mika's feigned indifference, Ling Yiheng's eyebrows creased tightly. He was well aware that this was not the true meaning of Mika's words and that it was not Mika's character to agree to such a request.
Although Mika was usually gentle, she had the competitive spirit and power inherited from her aunt. She would never agree to such a request so easily. The biggest reason why she made such a concession was simply because she cared too much about Ling Yiheng. They seemed to be very clear about this.
Mika looked at his perfect face, and her expression froze involuntarily, as if she had been pulled by a thread into a part of her heart that had always loved him.
Actually, she had considered this decision for a long time before coming to a decision, so it was not impulsive.
"Mika, I think you need to think about it. It's not that simple, and it's not fair to you." In fact, he had originally planned to tell her that he wanted to cancel this proposal. However, before he could say it out, she made the decision first.
Her reaction somewhat caught Ling Yiheng off guard. This wasn't the answer he wanted.
He had thought at first that she would refuse, which was why he had suggested this almost impossible proposal, but Mika's reaction was clearly out of his expectations.
She didn't know how much courage she mustered, but she opened her mouth once again, "I've already thought it through. Yi Heng, I really want to, you don't have to feel that it's unfair to me."
Ling Yiheng pinched his own forehead and sighed, "Mika, I think we need to discuss this further." I'm going on a business trip to England tomorrow. Can we talk about it when I get back? "
Everyone could tell that he was trying to escape, but Mika knew that this news was too sudden for Ling Yiheng, so she immediately agreed.
Before the two of them finished their coffee, Ling Yiheng suggested to pay the bill and leave. But just as they were about to stand up, they were stopped by Mika, "Wait a moment, big brother Yi Heng."
"What's wrong?" He did not understand.
Mika raised her eyes and looked at him seriously, saying, "Brother Yi Heng, I have really thought about it, so I made this decision. Please believe me, I know what I'm doing."
She did not hide the love in her eyes as she spoke. She brought her cheek close to his, and her hand could not help but cover his long, white palm.
For a time, the atmosphere became a bit awkward.
This seemingly intimate scene just happened to fall into the eyes of Zuo Zixian, who was passing by this café. She came out of the hotel to buy a gift for Tabolte, but did not expect to see Ling Yiheng and Mika.
Looking at the look in Mika's eyes and the way she held Ling Yiheng's hand, the two of them seemed to be in a relationship.
Zuo Zizhen took a deep breath, and a sour feeling surfaced in his heart, and his body trembled a little. From her point of view, she couldn't see Ling Yiheng's expression clearly, but from the scene inside, it was clear that the two of them enjoyed their time together.
When she realized that she was peeping, she quickly withdrew her gaze and hurriedly jogged out of the coffee shop's entrance. It was almost as if she had run away.
Ling Yiheng calmly shook off Mika's hand with a complicated look in his eyes, "Mika, this will hurt you. I think we need to think about this again. Wait till I get back. "
Mika looked at his retracted hand in disappointment. The corner of her mouth raised, but she didn't have the strength. "I understand. I will wait for your return then."
She noticed the shock and annoyance in his eyes, and it was clear that he didn't like his decision.
The man nodded and went to the cashier's to buy the bill. Mika said she wanted to stay a little longer, so she didn't go with him. He drove away alone.
Mika sat alone in her seat, silently watching Ling Yiheng's car drive away. Her nose was sour, and her eyes were moist.
She stirred again with the spoon in her coffee, looking absentmindedly out the window.
She sniffed, not letting herself cry, and took a long sip of her coffee.
When she finished her coffee and was about to leave, she suddenly thought of the phone call that said it could help her and Ling Yiheng stay together. She hesitated to find the number, unsure if she should call it.
After a long time, she put down the phone and walked out of the coffee shop with her bag.
The thought of Ling Yiheng and Zuo Zixian together, as well as his indifference towards her, made her feel so uncomfortable that she couldn't breathe. However, he couldn't make himself give up on the man he had loved for so many years so easily.
Zuo Zixian returned to the hotel, only then did he remember that he was in a hurry to avoid Ling Yiheng and Mika, and didn't buy anything. It seemed that she would have to go out again in the future.
The images of Ling Yiheng and Mika in the cafe kept appearing in her mind, making her angry and sad. The man who had been taking care of her and worried about her getting sick was able to date another woman immediately. What did he think? Do you really want to step on two boats?
She bit her lip, took out the phone, and looked at Ling Yiheng's number. She wanted to call him and ask him directly, wanted to know what he was thinking. However, when he thought about it, he realized that he had neither the position nor the right to ask. That was his fiancée, what did she matter?
They were going to be together after all, right? As for the relationship between him and her, it was just a wrong relationship. It shouldn't have started at all.
However, even though she clearly knew the truth of the situation, she had no way to make herself let go of Ling Yiheng.
She felt extremely confused and didn't know how to react. She also didn't want to face Ling Yiheng at this time.
In the end, Zuo Zixian just threw his phone to the side and shut off his phone. Then, he took off his shoes and laid down on the bed. He closed his eyes and decided to think about nothing and wait for his sleep before doing anything else.
Ling Yiheng drove home distractedly. Seeing Auntie Yu standing in the lobby tidying up, he asked her if Zuo Zixian was awake, but the answer was that she had already left.
He frowned and his expression darkened. But he should have thought of it earlier. She wouldn't stay in his house forever, no matter how much he wished she could stay.
"Mister Ling, what do you want to eat tonight? I bought the dishes, but Miss Zuo was not there at noon, so I didn't cook at noon. " Auntie Yu asked from behind him.
Ling Yiheng took off his jacket and shook his head, "No need. Auntie Yu, you should go back after packing your things. I have no appetite."
Auntie Yu wanted to urge him to eat something, but she knew Ling Yiheng's temper well. She opened her mouth and didn't say anything more, leaving shortly after.
Ling Yiheng was sitting in the living room, restlessly thinking about his conversation with Mika. He didn't expect her to agree so easily to his unfair request.
However, this proposal had come from him, and it wasn't so easy to cancel it now. He could see something in her eyes, and he knew how she felt about him, but he was sorry he couldn't respond.
The call from Luo Yunzhi pulled Ling Yiheng out of his agitated thoughts like a timely rain.
"Hey, Yi Heng, I think you should head to London as soon as possible. I've just received news that our competitor's company is already on the road. If we don't go ahead of them, we might be beaten to the ground." Luo Yunzhi said anxiously on the other end of the phone. He clearly valued this cooperation.
In fact, this was a business deal between him and Ling Yiheng, and was also part of their business plan. What they wanted was not to make any mistakes in any of the stages, so they did almost everything important by themselves.
Now, Luo Yun was handling the most important documents, and Ling Yi Heng was in charge of representing the company in the past to discuss and sign a contract with the important cooperation. The division of labor between the two was very clear.
Hearing Luo Yun's words, Ling Yi Heng immediately answered, "I understand, I'll get Zhou Heng to help me book the earliest flight out."
As far as he was concerned, this news made him heave a sigh of relief. At the very least, he could put off talking about himself and Mika until later.
Luo Yun did not forget to remind him of the other party's preferences. After talking about the documents, he hung up.
Zhou Heng helped Ling Yiheng book a plane ticket for three in the morning. After setting the alarm clock, he took a shower and lay down on his bed to rest.
However, after tossing and turning for a long time, he was still not sleepy at all. Looking at the empty bed, his mind was still thinking about the scene where he hugged Zuo Ziqian. In fact, he could even feel the warmth of her body, yet he couldn't even see her shadow.
It seemed that during the past few days of her stay, he had gotten used to having her by his side. Now, he was actually not used to sleeping alone.
He really wanted to go straight to the hotel and drag that woman back to his side, then hug her to sleep, but he didn't do so.
He looked at the time with annoyance. It was already past 11 PM.
He didn't know how long he slept in the bed before he finally felt sleepy. However, not long after he fell asleep, he was woken up by the alarm clock at two in the morning.
As he sat in the car, Ling Yiheng rubbed his forehead, which was aching from lack of sleep, and decided that when he returned, he would definitely call Zuo Zisheng back to his side, no matter the method.
Unknowingly, he couldn't leave her any longer.
