His deep gaze moved away from her pale little face and fell on the night outside the window. There was a layer of coldness in his eyes, but the coldness was mixed with loneliness.
"Drive faster." A faint voice reminded Gu Shaocheng who was driving.
Gu Shaocheng stepped on the accelerator and looked through the rearview mirror. He only saw Tang Yi's lonely profile. He had never seen Tang Yi like this before. He felt sad. This was a person who had never been warmed before, so, subconsciously, he resisted warmth, but he also craves for it unconsciously.
—
Zhao Chuning was injured under his body, which was shocking.
When the doctor treated her wound, she had already woken up. The humiliation and pain made her whole body tremble violently. But she just bit her lower lip tightly and clutched the bed sheet tightly, not letting herself groan, and refused to open her eyes. Her bloodless lips were almost bleeding from her biting. Her hands clutching the bed sheet were covered with cold sweat.
In my ears, it was Tang Yi's voice, "Are there any other injuries on your body?"
It was hoarse and as cold as ever, and it was hard to discern the emotions behind it.
The doctor said: "Except for the forehead, no other injuries have been found."
"Is the wound on your forehead serious?" Tang Yi's eyes lingered on her, his thin lips tightened, and then he said, "According to her, she just had a car accident."
The doctor checked her forehead again and said, "Master Wu, don't worry, it's just a small scratch, it won't be a problem. If you are worried, wait until she wakes up tomorrow. If she has any symptoms of dizziness or headache, take a careful X-ray and do a full body check."
"Um."
Tang Yi nodded and said nothing more.
The ward was very quiet, and her breathing was very light, so light that it seemed like it would disappear at any moment. Later, the doctor gave a few simple instructions and left. Tang Yi stood there for a while, and finally left too.
The ward became quieter.
Outside the window, the cold wind was howling and blowing against the window, making people feel panic.
In the darkness, Zhao Chuning slowly opened her eyes. Her empty eyes paused in the darkness for a long time, and then she looked sideways and saw a tall figure faintly reflected outside the glass door of the ward.
Maybe it was him. Maybe it wasn't him.
She didn't want to explore it.
The next day.
When she opened her eyes again, it was already daybreak outside. The winter sun shone throughout the hospital, and she stared at it in a daze, but still felt the cold.
The cell phone she left in Tang Yi's room was placed on the bedside.
"Ms. Zhao, are you awake?" The nurse in the ward came in with breakfast and greeted her with a smile.
After a good night's sleep, her complexion looked better. However, she still looked listless. She just nodded, got up, and grabbed the phone in her hand.
The first thing I did was to call my mother.
"You finally called back!" Zhang Rong breathed a sigh of relief when she heard her voice. "When I called you last night, a man answered. He said you were asleep! What's wrong with you?"
It must be Tang Yi who answered the phone. Zhao Chuning pressed his forehead with a headache, "Mom, where's Mimi? Is Mimi back?"
"I came back early. I came back last night." Zhang Rong is much more energetic today than yesterday. "Mimi, that kid, said that you are in love with the man who took her away! Is the man who took her away her father? Are you two together again?"
"You took the kid's nonsense seriously." Zhao Chuning heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that Xiao Yimi had come home. It seemed that Tang Yi really believed what she said yesterday.
When Mimi was born, I didn’t get a birth permit, and my household registration wasn’t properly settled. A year later, I finally found a solution. I was the youngest at that time. At that time, I had thought about this day.
Zhao Chuning chatted with her mother for a while, but didn't dare to tell her that she was in the hospital. After hanging up the phone, she applied for leave from the company. However, the logistics department said that someone had already applied for leave for her.
She curled her lips in mockery.
He thought it through very carefully.
After the leave issue was resolved, she remembered something more important. She put down her phone, picked it up again, walked to the bathroom, carefully avoided the guards outside, and called Cheng Zheng.
Cheng Zheng was in a morning meeting at the moment. When he saw the number, he was slightly surprised. He immediately made a gesture to indicate that the meeting was temporarily suspended. He pushed the door and walked out of the meeting room before answering the phone.
"Chu Chu?" He was surprised that she would call him on her own initiative. After that incident, he had been worried about how they would interact again in the future.
"Mr. Cheng, is it convenient to talk now?"
Hearing the word "Mr. Cheng", Cheng Zheng sighed helplessly. She was a stubborn person, so he did not want to change her address, but just said: "You talk, I listen."
"Yesterday, Tang Yi suddenly knew about Xiao Yimi's existence."
Cheng Zheng understood, "After the E30 project incident, Mr. Tang and I haven't been able to contact each other. I just heard about Mimi's matter from you."
"It was very difficult for me to convince Tang Yi yesterday that Mimi was not his child, so I hope you can keep this secret for me. If you find it difficult, I will..."
"It's not difficult. I won't break my promise to you." Cheng Zheng agreed immediately. Then, he added sadly: "The premise is that you are willing to believe me."
Zhao Chuning stood by the door holding his phone. Believe it or not, there was nothing he could do.
Cheng Zheng was silent for a moment, then asked again: "Since you still like Tang Yi, why don't you just tell him about this matter?"
"I like him, but that's in the past." Zhao Chuning replied in a voice as faint as a wisp of smoke. Two people, if only one of them has feelings for them, can never be together. She doesn't want an unbalanced love anymore...
Cheng Zheng stood there in a daze for a long time.
"Mr. Cheng, please get busy. I won't bother you any more." At the end, he added, "Thank you."
"Wait." When Zhao Chuning was about to hang up, Cheng Zheng stopped her and said, "You haven't told me clearly how you hid it from Tang Yi. If we have a chance to meet in the future, let me know in advance to avoid being exposed."
"Mimi's age in the household registration book is only four years old. So, Tang Yi took it for granted."
"Chu Chu, Tang Yi is so suspicious and shrewd. Do you think you can fool him just by age? If he really wants to investigate, just ask around in your town and the answer will be clear."
How could she not know that he was so frustrated last night
But, now...
"I can only hope that he won't have such thoughts."
Cheng Zheng always felt that this method was too risky and it was fine to fool ordinary people. But Tang Yi, once he calmed down, would definitely want to find out the truth.
"Ms. Zhao, please wash up and come out for breakfast." There was a knock on the bathroom door and the voice of the nurse sounded outside.
