"Well... Mommy didn't say, it could be Uncle Cheng." Little Yimi pretended to be confused.
"Give me the phone number and I'll ask."
When Zhao Chuning heard this, she hung up the phone without waiting for her mother to pick it up. Tang Yi had already put on a bathrobe and lowered his head to ask her, "What's wrong?"
"You don't have to pick her up. I'll go to school to pick her up after class tomorrow." Zhao Chuning put his phone aside and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Aren't you afraid that she will be unhappy?"
"She knows I'm with you, and all her unhappiness is gone."
Tang Yi raised the corners of his lips. As expected, she was his daughter, and she knew how to seek benefits for him.
"Do you have a bathrobe I can wear?" she asked.
"Wait a moment." Tang Yi went out and quickly came back with a bathrobe in his hand. Zhao Chuning took it, put it aside, and said to him, "You go out first."
"Are you afraid that I'll see it? Where else do you have that I haven't seen?"
"Hurry up!" Zhao Chuning urged, pouring water on him in an unpleasant manner.
Tang Yi turned around and walked out reluctantly, but a faint smile was still on the corner of his lips.
—
This evening just passed like this.
The next day.
When the sun shone into the room from the window, Zhao Chuning turned around half asleep and half awake. Her hand instinctively rested on the man's waist, and was held in a big hand. Before she could wake up and know where she was, a lingering and hot kiss came over her without any explanation.
She suddenly came to her senses, made a sound of "hmm", and tried to hide in embarrassment.
The man turned over and pressed her down. She pushed his shoulder and said, "I didn't rinse my mouth."
"So what?" He didn't care at all.
"..." The words of complaint she was about to say were swallowed up by the man, and in the end, only unbearable gasps and groans were left.
The cell phone started ringing frantically again.
She left it in the bathroom last night.
Zhao Chuning broke away from Tang Yi, threw back the quilt and got out of bed. He followed her a few steps, and when her hand touched the phone, he grabbed her from behind, pulled off her nightgown, and kissed her from her chin to her collarbone.
"Tang Yi, stop it... It's my mom." Zhao Chuning was shaking all over because of him, and his voice was a little light, but he still managed to maintain his rationality.
Tang Yi raised his head from her chest, his eyes flashing with a dazzling dark light, "Isn't it only 7 o'clock now?"
"I'll answer the phone first." She evened her breathing to make herself sound normal before she put the phone to her ear. With one hand, she wrapped the nightgown that he had pulled into a mess again. Fortunately, Tang Yi didn't continue to bother her at this moment, but just held her waist and listened to her on the phone.
Zhao Chuning hadn't said anything yet, but his expression changed when he heard the words from the other end.
"Then I'll go back right away." She looked hurried.
She hung up the phone in a hurry, and before Tang Yi could ask anything, she took the initiative to say, "Mimi will be with you these two days. I have to go back to my hometown."
Tang Yi could clearly see the anxiety between her brows.
"What happened?"
"My dad is in poor health and has been discharged from the hospital in his hometown. I have to go back with my mom."
"I'll go with you." Tang Yi responded without hesitation.
"But… "
"Mimi can be taken care of by the old man or my dad. There are so many people in the Tang family, and it's only two days, there won't be any problem."
"I'm not worried about Mimi."
Tang Yi certainly knew what she was worried about, but he had to face this matter sooner or later. He didn't want to put it off any longer. He was married, but still alone, living in a house by himself. This feeling was really terrible.
Without giving her any room to hesitate, he just said, "Wash your face and mouth, change your clothes and get ready to go out."
After he finished speaking, he went out first, took out his cell phone and called the old man to tell him about Mimi.
Zhao Chuning stood in the bathroom listening to his voice. He originally wanted to think about it again, but now he felt that it would be best to go back and explain it clearly this time. Since they are already married, they can't keep it a secret from their parents. Besides, Mimi really wants to live with her daddy and mommy.
Thinking of this, I felt much more relieved and took out new toiletries to wash my face and brush my teeth.
——
Tang Yi drove Zhao Chuning back to Yunting Community, and the driver followed them in the car.
When they went in together, Zhao Chuning was full of anxiety.
"mom."
"You send Mimi to school first, and then we will..." Zhang Rong was packing her luggage and looked up halfway through her words. When she saw the people around Zhao Chuning, her face changed slightly.
Little Yimi heard the voice and came out of the room. When she saw the person coming, her expression was completely different from her grandmother's. She ran over with an excited smile and called sweetly, "Daddy!"
Zhang Rong glanced at her daughter. She originally had a lot of questions she wanted to ask, but now she didn't need to ask anything.
I didn’t come back last night, and it wasn’t because I was with Cheng Zheng.
"Madam." Tang Yi greeted politely. He originally wanted to follow Chuchu and call her "Mom", but he was really afraid of scaring the elders, and someone would definitely get angry with him again. So he tried his best to restrain himself and slow down the process.
Zhang Rong looked at him without much expression on her face. She just asked her daughter, "Why did you bring him here? Are you going to let him take care of Mimi?"
Zhao Chuning didn't answer, but just glanced at Tang Yi, then he calmly took over the conversation, "I have already told my grandfather about Mimi. He likes Mimi very much, and there are many people in the Tang family, so it will be no problem for him to take care of Mimi for two days."
"Yes, I know that your Tang family is large, rich and powerful." Zhang Rong's tone was neither positive nor negative, and her attitude was neither cold nor warm.
"Mom, that's not what Tang Yi meant."
"I haven't said anything yet, and you're already rushing to protect him." Zhang Rong glanced at her daughter unhappily and muttered, "It's only been a few days since you were discharged from the hospital, and you cracked your ribs and dislocated your hand last time. You don't remember anything, right?"
Zhao Chuning had a headache.
I can't imagine what my mother's attitude would be if she knew that I not only reconciled with Tang Yi, but also secretly got married.
Zhao Chuning glanced at Tang Yi and said, "How about you take Mimi to school and I'll take my mom back."
Tang Yi held Zhao Chuning's hand. In front of Zhang Rong, Zhao Chuning was a little embarrassed and struggled, but he just held it tighter.
"The driver will take Mimi to school. I'll go back with you. It's not safe for you to drive this far."
Zhang Rong looked at this one, then that one, and finally landed on their hands. Her expression changed several times.
Zhao Chuning thought that his mother would strongly refuse Tang Yi's offer to send them back, but unexpectedly, she said nothing. She just took Mimi's hand and said, "Come and have breakfast."
These few simple words, without any warmth, surprised Zhao Chuning.
Zhang Rong took Mimi to the dining table first. Then she came to her senses and turned to look at Tang Yi, "My mother doesn't seem to object to you going with us."
