Tian Jie saw that she looked unwell and asked, "Are you okay?"
Zhao Chuning squeezed out the words "It's OK" after a long while. She staggered to the bathroom, her mind was in a daze. When she stood firmly on the glass table, she was ready to take out her cell phone to make a call. When she touched her pocket, she remembered that she had thrown her cell phone in her bag, but her bag was pressed in the box.
"Miss, do you need any help?" The waiter who had been waiting quietly on the side came forward and asked.
"Can you lend me your phone?"
"Okay." The other party handed her his cell phone. Zhao Chuning said "thank you" softly, and then dialed the number that she knew by heart. However, the phone rang again and again, until it was completely disconnected, and no one answered.
Zhao Chuning stood there in frustration, holding the phone. In front of him, in the mirror, his face was pale and scarier than a ghost.

the other side.
Tang Yi just woke up.
On the side, Tang Yu asked him, "How do you feel?"
Tang Yi's thin lips were still bloodless, and he only said, "Not bad. How about Tang Wei?"
"Not good or bad, but at least he woke up." Tang Yu said: "When he woke up, the first thing he asked was you."
Tang Yi breathed a sigh of relief, "It's ok as long as you wake up."
"He has a girlfriend to take care of him, but you—" Tang Yu sat on the chair and looked at him, "Do you want your fiancée to come and take care of you?"
"No need." Tang Yi refused without hesitation.
Tang Yu smiled and said, "Then the secretary you tried to protect last time, his name is Zhao what?"
Tang Yi's face darkened slightly. He didn't answer and just asked with a stern face, "Where's my phone?"
Tang Yu leaned over and handed him the phone from the bedside, "I just missed a call, but I didn't answer it for you. Also, a child called me before, and I said you were asleep."
Speaking of children, Tang Yu's eyes deepened slightly, as if he was searching. Tang Yi knew what he meant, but did not respond. He just supported himself and stood up, "You can go now. I'm fine now."
Tang Yu knew Tang Yi's temper. Since he didn't say anything, no one could interfere.
"The old man and your father have come to see you. I can see that your father is also worried about you." Tang Yu stood up, "Wait until you recover, and don't be angry with him anymore."
Tang Yi didn't reply, and it was unclear whether he heard what was said or not.
He leaned against the bed, flipping through his phone, skipping the unfamiliar number and calling the child.
"Uncle!" Xiao Yimi's crisp voice came from the other side immediately, "Are you feeling better? Every time I called you, you said you were asleep."
Hearing the tender child's voice, Tang Yi felt the pain in his body was relieved a lot.
Even in such a cold night and such a quiet ward, he felt warm in his heart. The corners of his lips curved up unconsciously, "It's all right now."
"Really? You can't lie to me." The little guy was still worried.
"Do not lie to you."
"I want to go see my uncle, but my mommy and grandma won't let me go." Xiao Yimi said in a frustrated tone. Tang Yi could imagine her sitting on the sofa with two pigtails, pouting her lips and drooping her head, sulking. When he heard her say that Zhao Chuning wouldn't let her come, the curve of his mouth suddenly converged, and he said in a calm voice: "Let your mommy answer the phone."
"Mommy hasn't come back yet!"
Tang Yi glanced at the time. It was already past nine in the evening, and she hadn't come home yet? How could a mother be so incompetent
"I just called Mommy, but it wasn't Mommy who answered the phone. An uncle answered it." Little Yimi muttered over there, "I don't know when Mommy will be back."
"Which uncle?" Tang Yi lowered his voice a little, and his eyebrows became more stern. Cheng Zheng? She left the child at home so late, just to date Cheng Zheng
Thinking of the scene of the two of them together, Tang Yi felt angry for no reason.
"I don't know, I don't know him." Xiao Yimi replied.
Tang Yi only spoke a few words to the child casually before hanging up the phone. Then, he dialed again without hesitation.
The phone rang a few times, and someone answered it. It was very noisy over there, and I could hear people constantly urging me to drink.
"Hello." A strange male voice, a little drunk, came from the other end of the phone.
Tang Yi's face was dark, as if covered with frost. "Who are you?"
"Are you looking for Xiao Zhao? Xiao Zhao just drank two glasses of wine and went to the bathroom. Call back later." The person who answered the phone was also a little confused. He spoke loudly and with a lisp, and he didn't recognize Tang Yi's voice at all.
"Where are you?" Tang Yi asked patiently, gritting his teeth. He wanted to tear that woman apart with his bare hands. Who were you drinking with
"We are on the third floor of Yachuan Hotel. By the way, who are you?"
"Her man!" Tang Yi spat out three words coldly, and then said: "Let her wait there, she is not allowed to go anywhere!"
After saying that, he hung up the phone without saying another word.
This way.
Zhao Chuning washed her face and came out of the bathroom, feeling weak all over, as if her backbone had been pulled out. She didn't know if it was because of the glass of wine she drank or because of the news she heard, but now she felt uncomfortable all over.
She went back to the private room to get her bag. When she entered, Mr. Deng, who had poured her wine earlier, handed her his cell phone and said, "Xiao Zhao, your boyfriend just called. Take a look."
"What boyfriend?"
"Do you have several boyfriends?" Mr. Deng teased her with a smile.
Zhao Chuning took the phone and was distracted when she saw the number. President Deng patted her seat and said, "Sit down! Your boyfriend told you to wait for him here and don't go anywhere!"
"He's coming over?"
"Yeah. That's what they said."
Zhao Chuning was about to leave, but after hearing this, he slowly sat back down.
The people at the table started drinking happily again. Zhao Chuning sat there, absent-minded, checking the time and looking at the door from time to time.
Mr. Deng poured her a glass of wine. "Xiao Zhao, stop staring at the door. Your neck is about to stretch out like a giraffe because your boyfriend is coming. Drink, drink!"
Zhao Chuning retracted his gaze and saw that everyone was holding up their cups. He knew he couldn't hide, so he just pretended and drank a lot.
Everyone was eating and drinking happily, but she was the only one who was absent-minded. She felt that Tang Yi would not come, and she felt a little disappointed and a little worried. She sat softly in the chair, not quite sober.
Sudden…
The door of the box was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
The restaurant manager came in personally, respectfully. When everyone was feeling strange, they saw Tang Yi coming in after the manager. He was wearing a thin white shirt and a black windbreaker. But even with such a simple outfit, standing under the light, he was the most outstanding one.
He looked indifferent, and his sharp eyes swept across everyone's faces.
Everyone stood up, staring at the person who suddenly appeared in surprise and joy.
