During the dinner, no one spoke. Zhao Chuning didn't know what Tang Yi was thinking, but he could see that he was worried and seemed to be thinking about something.
Tang Yi didn't put down his chopsticks until the meal was over. "You don't have to go to the hospital today."
"?" She looked up in surprise.
Tang Yi pointed to the watch on his wrist, "It's past ten o'clock. The hospital will be closed at ten o'clock, and you can't get in."
"What should we do then?"
"Didn't you say that the old lady only had a minor problem? I'll call the hospital and tell them to take good care of her. As for changing the ward..."
"No need to change it." Zhao Chuning interrupted Tang Yi, "My mother will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow and doesn't need to stay in the hospital anymore."
Tang Yi then nodded.
Zhao Chuning also put down his chopsticks and cleaned up the dishes.
Tang Yi stood up and took his car keys from the coffee table. He looked at Zhao Chuning's busy back and asked, "Do you want to go with me to pick up Mimi?"
She shook her head. "I'd better not go. I still have to clean up the kitchen. Otherwise, my mom will come back from the hospital tomorrow and I'll have to worry about her again."
Tang Yi stared at her for a moment, but did not force her. Zhao Chuning put down what she was doing, washed her hands, and came out to see him off. He walked to the door and suddenly stopped. Before she could come to her senses, Tang Yi held her face and kissed her deeply. This kiss was lingering and deep. After a while, she couldn't resist it anymore and her breathing was completely disordered.
He was not much better. His heavy breathing sprayed on her face. He held her slender waist with one hand, holding it tightly, as if he wanted to take her whole body into his body.
I don't know how long we kissed before I gradually pulled away.
His eyes were still burning like fire.
"I'll let you go tonight." His voice was hoarse and ambiguous, and every word sounded frightening in the night.
Zhao Chuning's pretty face was stained with a layer of blush, and she was still dizzy. She looked charming and fresh.
Tang Yi had to use a lot of self-control to resist doing something to her. He let go of her a little and took a step back. "I need to go back and think about the problem you mentioned."
Until he left, Zhao Chuning was still thinking about what he meant by this sentence. What exactly did he need to consider
She went back to the kitchen to pack up, and she was absent-minded the whole time. One moment she was thinking about Tang Yi's words about marrying her, and the next moment she was thinking about his last meaningful sentence about something that needed to be considered.
Will he...really cancel the engagement with Miss Mo
Thinking of this possibility, my gloomy mood all day suddenly became much better.
———
Tang Yi sat back in the car and looked up at the building.
The light from the small window made him sit in the car for a long time without leaving. He took out his cell phone to call the hospital, smoked a cigarette, and finally drove away.
What was surging in my chest was a trace of reluctance.
Even though he didn't want to admit it, this feeling was real. He had deeply experienced this feeling when she left six years ago. He hated the feeling of being abandoned, and hated the feeling of being reluctant to leave even though he was abandoned. Therefore, he tried his best not to think about this hateful woman afterwards.
But, I never expected that she would appear again...
This time, all the emotions she provoked—joy, anger, violence, loneliness—were much deeper and more sensitive than six years ago. They even affected his emotions that were originally difficult to shake.
His car drove to Tang Yu's villa. Tang Yu hadn't rested yet. It was bright in the villa.
"Why haven't you slept yet?" Tang Yi asked him.
Tang Yu shook the milk in his hand and said, "The little girl wants to drink, but she refuses to come down."
When he mentioned Song Zhixing, his face was full of doting.
Tang Yi couldn't help but look at him twice more and sighed: "You treat her well, it's really the same every day for ten years."
Tang Yu agreed, "It will be the same in another twenty years."
Tang Yi remained silent. He had long been accustomed to Tang Yu's kindness to Song Zhixing. Sometimes he felt that Tang Yu's feelings were too incomprehensible. After all, Song Zhixing, the little girl, hardly appreciated his kindness. However, his feelings had never changed because of the other party's attitude.
Suddenly, he began to envy Tang Yu, who could openly like someone and be so frank and unbridled in being nice to a woman.
Seeing that he looked troubled, Tang Yu asked him, "Where have you been? You even left your daughter here alone."
"I went to see her mother."
Tang Yu smiled and patted his shoulder, "Make things clear with the Mo family, so that they don't refuse to get married at the wedding, which will embarrass both of our families."
"Are you so sure that I won't marry Mo Liangyan? What if I still marry her?" It's really not a pleasant feeling to be seen through.
"If you really marry her, you can ask me to agree to anything."
"I want my dad to stop bothering me, okay?"
"You little brat!" Tang Yu glared at him angrily, "Your dad loves you too!"
Tang Yi responded with a sneer.
"I'll take Mimi away." He walked towards the room.
Tang Yu asked him, "Is this child your daughter?"
Tang Yi pursed his lips and finally said truthfully: "Not sure. Still waiting for the result."
"Not sure?" Tang Yu asked, "If the result comes out and this child is not your daughter, how do you plan to deal with your relationship with Secretary Zhao?"
Such an "if" made Tang Yi look a little ugly. But after a moment of silence, he said: "I have promised the child that I will marry her. Whether the child is my daughter or not, the result will not change."
“…” Tang Yu shook his head helplessly.
This proud brother, even his own feelings, need to use a child as a shield. It seems that this road is still to be tossed.
He really has a younger brother with a very high IQ but zero EQ.
———
Zhao Chuning didn't sleep well that night. She tossed and turned in bed, thinking about what Tang Yi said.
I finally made it to dawn and now I have dark circles under my eyes.
She called Tian Jie to ask for leave first, then hurriedly changed her clothes and went to the hospital, taking Mimi's schoolbag with her.
When Tang Yi left last night, she was so dizzy from the parting kiss that she completely forgot about it.
When she arrived at the hospital, Zhang Rong had already woken up.
She was sitting on the bed, her complexion had not fully recovered yet and did not look very good.
"Mom, let's have breakfast first." Zhao Chuning put the breakfast he brought on the small table on the bed.
Zhang Rong was still worried about her child. "Where's Mimi? How is she? Has she come back?"
"Don't worry, I've already sent Mimi to school."
"You lied to me. It's so early, how did you send her to school? You were still holding her schoolbag in your hand!" Zhang Rong saw through it at a glance.
