In the alley opposite Jiang Nuan’s house in Jinshi, Li Qingshuo hid in the shadows, waiting for Yun Xia to come out, just wanting to see her.
He looked at the door, but he didn’t have the courage to knock, afraid of scaring her.
And then she would run away with the child!
He stood at the corner opposite the villa, constantly looking at the door of Jiang Nuan’s house, but he never saw Yun Xia come out.
As soon as the plane landed in Jinshi, he avoided He Mingrun and Meng, and took a taxi directly here, just to see Yun Xia.
He Mingrun sent Meng Yuan back and then returned to handle company matters.
He thought he would see Yun Xia, but after waiting for several hours, it was almost ten o’clock in the evening, and he still hadn’t waited for Yun Xia to come out.
He took out his phone and clicked on Yun Xia’s Moments, seeing that she had posted a new update again.
The accompanying pictures were a table full of good food, but the flavors were all light: steamed egg, blanched shrimp, meatball soup, stir-fried cabbage, and braised pork ribs.
Above it, she posted a message: [Leisure time with my bestie. Auntie is back, and the baby is naughtier than usual, greeting auntie very energetically. It’s just that I’m getting hungry quite quickly lately. Lastly, she added a helpless picture. I really want to eat hot and sour noodles, but the baby can’t eat them.]
Then there was a pair of cute little feet.
Seeing this, Li Qingshuo’s lips curved involuntarily. What a little rascal, she must be very cute.
He found Yun Xia’s post of her pregnant belly, and he knew it was Yun Xia’s belly. It was slightly protruding, and her slender fingers were gently stroking it. Inside, it was their baby.
Having received little fatherly love since childhood, he vowed in his heart that if he married and had children, he would love and protect them with all his life.
Having experienced illness once, in his heart, other than life and death, everything else was trivial.
While passionate love is precious, he did not yearn for it. He liked simple and ordinary happiness. After looking for a long time, he looked up at the room on the second floor again.
The light on the second floor went out. He knew he wouldn’t see Yun Xia tonight. He stood there for a while longer before turning and leaving dejectedly.
He planned to come again tomorrow!
In a car not far away, Tang Ke Ke also followed Li Qingshuo. Seeing Li Qingshuo waiting here for several hours, she had also waited here for several hours.
She didn’t know who he was waiting for, that he would put aside his busy work and wait here for several hours.
She knew that the person Li Qingshuo cared about must live here, but who could it be?
After she got off the plane, she waited for a car for a while before finding Li Qingshuo’s location.
Judging by the situation, Li Qingshuo had not seen the other person.
She watched Li Qingshuo leave in despair. Under the dim streetlights, his back looked particularly lonely.
Was she not beautiful?
Was she not gentle?
Was she not worthy of him?
He said he couldn’t fall for her!
These were all excuses!
She didn’t believe that Li Qingshuo had no desire for her face.
After Li Qingshuo had been gone for a while, Tang Ke Ke drove away angrily.
She would continue to follow Li Qingshuo and see who the woman he liked was!
No matter who it was, she wouldn’t want to snatch a man from her Tang Ke Ke. She, Tang Ke Ke, had plenty of ways to get Li Qingshuo.
She also had ways to ruin the woman he liked!
On the second floor of Jiang Nuan’s house, Meng Yuan slept with Yun Xia. Both were very tired, so they washed up and rested early.
Yun Xia lay on the bed, and Meng Yuan slept on the mat on the floor. The phone screen flashed from time to time. She knew it was He Mingrun sending her messages, but she ignored them.
Yun Xia was pregnant, and she was afraid that she would accidentally bump into Yun Xia’s belly while sleeping at night, so she slept on the floor.
However, after lying down, Meng Yuan still felt a bit restless.
“Xia Xia, when do you think Nuan Nuan will be back?”
In the dark night, she suddenly asked.
Yun Xia also had little sleepiness. After Jiang Nuan’s accident, she woke up more easily.
She turned sideways, so she could see the picture of the three of them, their best friends, hanging on the opposite wall.
All three of them were smiling brightly. In the dark night, her blooming smile was like a snow lotus slowly blooming, gentle and moving.
“Yuan Yuan, Nuan Nuan is very strong. She will be back soon.”
“Hehe…” Meng Yuan also smiled. “Yes, that girl will be back.” Her voice trembled inexplicably.
Speaking of this, Meng Yuan felt very sad. Her voice was slightly choked. “Xia Xia, do you believe in dreams? The night Nuan Nuan had the accident, I dreamed of her. She was standing in the darkness, smiling at me quietly, and then turned and walked into the darkness. Her back turned into a tiny point of light. No matter how I called her, she couldn’t hear me, until she was swallowed by the darkness, and then I woke up.”
When she saw 2:59 AM, she felt an ominous premonition.
The next day, she was taken out to play by He Mingrun. It wasn’t until she saw the video that she realized Jiang Nuan had an accident.
At that moment, thinking of that dream, she instantly broke down.
Nuan Nuan really had an accident. She rarely dreamed of Jiang Nuan, but the dream that night made her deeply unsettled.
Yun Xia looked in her direction and said, “Yuan Yuan, I believe you, but I think I also dreamed of Nuan Nuan. However, I wake up easily at night and don’t remember what I dreamed.”
“But Yuan Yuan, as long as Nuan Nuan still has hope, we will wait for her here. We also agreed to go to many places to play. We’ve all worked too hard these past few years, and we’ve never enjoyed life properly.”
“Mm! Xia Xia, let’s sleep. We will all become better.” Meng Yuan said with full confidence and fell asleep with a smile.
Yun Xia also smiled and slept soundly all night.
…
The next morning, Mu Jiuchen had breakfast and then took Jiang Yukuo out to the hospital. He drove the car from yesterday.
After getting into the car, Jiang Yukuo sat in the passenger seat. When he was fastening his seatbelt, he felt something inside.
“Dad, look, why can’t the seatbelt be inserted properly.”
Mu Jiuchen looked down. There was no problem, but when he tried it, there was indeed something.
He turned on his phone flashlight and saw that a paper-like object had fallen inside.
He got out of the car, went to the trunk to get a pair of tweezers, and then, under the phone’s light, carefully picked out the object inside.
He saw that it was a five-inch photo of Xiao Fan’s mother.
Mu Jiuchen frowned in confusion. Why was the photo here?
“Dad, whose photo is this?” Jiang Yukuo said as he took it to look. Upon seeing it, he exclaimed, “Wow! Who is this? So beautiful?”
Huh!
Jiang Yukuo was a little surprised. Why did she look so familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere before.
Mu Jiuchen lowered his eyes to look at him, reluctant to tell him that it was his mother, the mother who had abandoned him.
“It’s a photo of a relative. It might have accidentally fallen in!”
That idiot Xiao Fan, he didn’t even know when he lost his photo.
“Oh! A relative?” Jiang Yukuo’s mind flashed. Isn’t this the mother from Li Yanheng’s family photo that I found in the garage?
She looks like this.
She is very beautiful, he remembered very clearly.
“That’s strange, Dad. Why does your relative look exactly like Uncle Li’s mother?”
Mu Jiuchen, who had just started driving, suddenly stopped the car.
