The entire office fell into silence. There were three of them. Xiao Yichen did not speak, and Shen Qing and You Luan did not dare to speak either.
âShen Qing,â Xiao Yichen suddenly called out.
âYes, Mr. Xiao,â Shen Qing replied immediately.
âContinue to keep an eye on him. Let me know when Lu Hao comes back,â Xiao Yichen ordered.
âOkay,â Shen Qing agreed.
After waiting a long time, Xiao Yichenâs tone softened as he said, âAll of you, go out!â
Upon hearing their bossâs voice, You Luan and Shen Qing knew what was good for them. They immediately bowed and left quickly.
Xiao Yichen sat in the office for a long time. He didnât know when he got up and left.
Xiao Yichen did not drive in the direction of Blue Bay villa. Instead, he went toward his mother-in-lawâs house, where he had wanted to visit her for five years.
After parking the car downstairs, Xiao Yichen sat in the car and looked up at the floor and the window and his thoughts instantly returned to the past.
They had once stayed in that room together.
Gradually, her face appeared in his mind again. The way she acted coquettishly and the childish way she treated him.
Xiao Yichen kept staring at the window. After an unknown period, when a tear fell from the corner of his eye, Xiao Yichen immediately retracted his thoughts.
He shed tears for her.
Xiao Yichen started the car and drove away. In his heart, he had never let go of the woman he loved and hated.
Lin Wan lay on the bed and chatted on the phone with her son after showering.
âLin Wan, wonât you be lonely sleeping alone? I want to hug you to sleep.â Lin Xiaoranâs childish voice came from the phone.
âIâm lonely.â Lin Wan deliberately acted pitifully in front of her son. âI also want to hug you to sleep.â
âBut I havenât flown to Lin Wan yet.â There was disappointment in Lin Xiaoranâs voice. Then, he thought of something, and his mood immediately changed. He said, âLin Wan, why donât you hug Grandma to sleep? Anyway, Grandma is your mommy and the closest person to us.â
âNo, your grandma is very tired from class every day. I donât want to disturb her,â Lin Wan said.
Her mother looked very tired after class every day. She really could not bear to disturb her.
âAlright, wait for me to fly to your side before hugging you to sleep!â Lin Xiaoran said.
âAlright, Iâm waiting for you,â Lin Wan said softly.
âLin Wan,â Lin Xiaoran suddenly called out seriously.
Lin Wan heard her sonâs tone and replied, âYes, whatâs wrong?â
âIs my daddy in Ancheng City as well?â Lin Xiaoran asked his mommy. Daddy Lu said that his mommy used to live in Ancheng City, and his grandma was also in Ancheng City. In that case, his daddy should be in Ancheng City.
Lin Wanâs heart skipped a beat. She did not expect her son to ask this question.
Previously, when his son was three years old, he had asked about his daddy once. She did not answer then, and her son did not ask further. After that, he had never asked. But tonightâ¦
âYes, heâs also in Ancheng City,â Lin Wan said. She didnât intend to hide it from her son. It was her fault that she didnât give him a complete family and did not take good care of herself, causing her son to weaken.
She would never be able to forgive herself for these two things in her life, so she did not want to make any more mistakes in front of her son.
Lin Xiaoran seemed to have heard the hoarse sadness in his motherâs voice on the other end of the phone. He immediately changed the topic and said, âMommy, Iâm going to sleep. Can you sing a song for me? Daddy Lu doesnât sing as well as you..â
