In the darkness, Helian Qingyu turned to look at the silent woman. He could feel the distance between them. In the past six years, time had formed an invisible chasm between them.
He wanted to try to close the distance between them. He wanted to let her understand that he had actually loved her all these years after she left. He had never forgotten her, but he didnât know how to say it.
He reached out and covered the back of her hand. He tried to hold her hand, but the moment he touched her, the woman withdrew her hand as if she was electrocuted and turned her gaze to the window.
Helian Qingyu got out of the car and his assistant opened the door for Li Ruochu.
Standing in front of the grand presidential mansion, Li Ruochu felt as if a lifetime had passed.
After not living in Estan for the past few years, Estanâs economy had developed rapidly. It had already reached a stage where it was changing day by day. All of the credit could not do without Helian Qingyuâs wise leadership. He had pushed Estan to a new peak with his fatherâs help.
Li Ruochu admitted that he was a wise and qualified leader, but she did not think that he was a good husband and father.
His attitude towards her was so domineering that it made her grit her teeth.
âWhat are you waiting for?â
The man took a few steps forward and noticed that she was still standing there. He was a little displeased. âDo you not want to see your son anymore?â
Li Ruochu calmed down at the mention of her son and followed him into the mansion.
âWhereâs Nuo Nuo?â
Li Ruochu asked.
Helian Qingyu did not answer her. Instead, he took off his jacket and handed it to the servants. He also asked the butler, Uncle Lian, to take Li Ruochu to where she should go.
Li Ruochu thought that Uncle Lian was going to take her to see her son, but it turned out that he was going to arrange a place for her to stay.
After Helian Qingyu came to power, he had specially built a villa for his future wife, Jian Jia Lou. However, it had been empty until now.
Now that Li Ruochu was back, he naturally had to arrange a place for her to stay.
Everything in Jian Jia Lou was well-equipped. The decorations were luxurious and beautiful. Li Ruochu followed him in and looked around but could not find the child. She asked Uncle Lian, âWhere is the child?â
Uncle Lian replied respectfully, âMiss Li, Mr. President wants you to stay for a while. Weâll talk about the child tomorrow.â
âHe wonât let me meet the child today?â Li Ruochu asked anxiously.
âWe have to ask the president.â
âYou have to ask him for permission for everything? Then go and ask him!â
âOkay. Please wait a moment, Miss Li.â
Uncle Lian nodded and turned to leave. Li Ruochu was afraid that she was being framed and quickly followed him. âButler, I donât want to stay here. Please take me to see your president.â
âIâm sorry, I have to ask the president.â
âBring me to him. Iâll ask for his permission!â
âMiss Li, Mr. President has already ordered that you are not allowed to leave Jian Jia Lou. Please stay here. As for the matter of you wanting to meet the child, I will ask for your permission now.â
Uncle Lian left, but a few guards were left at the door to prevent Li Ruochu from leaving.
Li Ruochu shouted angrily, âHelian Qingyu, who do you think you are? You locked me up here! This is illegal imprisonment!â
Uncle Lian and the guards could not help but twitch their lips.
It was rare to see a woman like Li Ruochu calling the President by his full name.
