Her eyes burned, her whole body became hot, she barely managed to hold on to a trace of rationality and pushed him away, "Tang Yi, stop..."
Tang Yi gasped heavily, staring at her with red eyes. The desire in his eyes seemed to burn her. Even in the dark room, it was unusually bright, flashing with animal light. Zhao Chuning swallowed dryly. She thought Tang Yi would not let her go, but he just gasped a few times, suddenly let go of her, and turned over and got out of bed.
The heat dissipated, and he walked out of the room. Zhao Chuning lay limp on the bed for a long time, his breathing still disordered.
——
All night long, until she fell asleep, Tang Yi did not push the door open again. Her tense body gradually relaxed, and she finally fell asleep peacefully after being unable to resist the attack of her pajamas.
The next day.
Early in the morning, she was awakened by the alarm of her cell phone. The strange house made her feel dazed for a moment, and when she came to her senses, she remembered that she was lying in Tang Yi's room. She subconsciously looked to the side, and the seat next to her was empty. Moreover, it was cold.
Apparently, he hasn't come in since he left last night.
She got up, walked out of the second bedroom, and headed for the master bedroom. She originally thought that Tang Yi should have fallen asleep with Mimi last night, but when she walked into the living room, she found him sleeping on the sofa on his side.
The leather sofa was not very wide, and he had long arms and legs, so it would not be very comfortable for him to sleep on it. However, he had his back to her, so Zhao Chuning could not see his expression at the moment.
She hesitated for a moment, then walked over lightly, picked up the thin blanket that had fallen on the ground, and casually put it on him. When she stood up, her eyes were attracted by a red wedding invitation on the coffee table. She was slightly startled for a moment, and wanted to pick it up to have a look, but she finally took back her outstretched hand and just turned to go to the master bedroom.
Little Yimi was still sleeping soundly, holding her little sheep doll tightly all night long.
Only after Zhao Chuning pulled the doll away did she move.
"It's time to get up." Zhao Chuning took her sweater and cotton coat and took her out of the quilt.
The child lazily lay on her shoulder, his little hands around her neck, and said coquettishly: "Mommy..."
"Do you want to put it on yourself, or does Mommy help you?"
Little Yimi hadn't opened her eyes yet, she just raised her hands in a daze. Zhao Chuning helped her put on her pullover and then her cotton coat.
When buttoning his shirt, little Yimi finally came to his senses. He looked around and asked, "Where's my uncle?"
"Asleep."
"Where did you sleep?"
"On the sofa outside." Zhao Chuning buttoned her up, "Mimi, don't cause trouble for your uncle anymore."
Little Yimi blinked and looked at her, "But, I can see that uncle doesn't hate me."
"He doesn't hate you, and he likes you very much." Zhao Chuning told the truth.
"Really?" Little Yimi was very happy, raised his little chin, and his eyes sparkled, "I also think uncle likes me very much."
"I like you, but my uncle will marry someone else soon." Zhao Chuning paused for a moment, "In the future... he will have his own children. If you come to my uncle's place again, it will only cause him inconvenience."
Her words made the sparkle in Xiao Yimi's eyes disappear. She stood on the bed, looking at Zhao Chuning who was sitting on the bed with her head down, "Mommy, since uncle married another aunt, he can't be my daddy anymore, right?"
"certainly."
Little Yimi was silent and seemed to have lost her spirit. She kept lying on her shoulder and didn't say a word the whole time.
Zhao Chuning also changed her clothes and came out with the child in her arms. Tang Yi was still sleeping on the sofa. She wanted to wake him up and open the door, but before she could say anything, the housekeeper had already opened the door and came in.
This was the second time she saw Zhao Chuning and the child in her arms, so she wasn't too surprised. But she couldn't understand why the fifth master of the Tang family was still entangled with a woman who had given birth to a child when he was about to get married.
Zhao Chuning nodded slightly to him, and without saying anything, she carried the child out. Little Yimi lay weakly on her shoulder, and asked in a muffled voice: "Shouldn't we say goodbye to uncle?"
"Uncle is still asleep, so don't disturb him."
"But... I don't know when I will be able to see my uncle again."
Hearing the child's reluctant words, Zhao Chuning's heart twisted. Even if she was willing to let them meet again, he would probably not be suitable since he was married.
"But luckily I left my uncle's number! If I miss him next time, I can call him."
————
Zhao Chuning sent the child to school first, and bought her milk and eggs for breakfast to eat at school. After leaving the school gate, he remembered something and called Cheng Zheng.
"Mr. Cheng, I want to ask you something."
Cheng Zheng said, "Let's talk face to face. It just so happens that I will go to your company later. Your manager Tian has an appointment with me."
It would be good to ask in person. Zhao Chuning didn't say anything more, hung up the phone and drove to the company.
When I arrived at the company, I didn't expect that Cheng Zheng was already there.
The two of them came out of the garage together. The company was not a place to talk, so Zhao Chuning stopped when he reached the garden at the foot of the office building.
"Have you had breakfast?" Cheng Zheng asked her with a smile.
Zhao Chuning nodded. It was very cold in the early morning of winter. Cheng Zheng took off the scarf from his neck and put it on her neck. She subconsciously wanted to avoid him, but Cheng Zheng's smile did not change at all. He just said slowly: "When I came here just now, I saw Mr. Tang's car parked on the side of the road. If I'm not mistaken, he should be sitting in the car watching us now."
Zhao Chuning was a little surprised, "You mean, Tang Yi?"
She instinctively wanted to look sideways to search, but Cheng Zheng raised his hand and cupped her face, stopping her movement without leaving a trace. Her eyelashes fluttered, and the man's smile deepened in her eyes, "If you look over there now, won't he know that we are talking about him?"
Zhao Chuning was a little distracted. Why did he come? Did he just happen to pass by, or...
Thinking of this, she stopped thinking and did not try to look at him again. She just took Cheng Zheng's hand off her face. Compared with Cheng Zheng's enthusiastic smile, her attitude was more distant.
"Tang Yi mistakenly thought Xiaomi was yours." Zhao Chuning said, "He is not someone who would easily believe one side of the story."
"He really wasn't. So, when you told him that the child was only four years old, he immediately sent someone to your Yuanhe Town and the hospital where you were born to conduct a detailed investigation."
"Then how...?" Zhao Chuning looked at Cheng Zheng's meaningful expression, "Did you... use any method?"
