Ye Minqiu served the old lady a bowl of fish soup. "If you ask me, Mom, you should go to Haicheng too. We are already in Haicheng."
The old lady was unhappy: "I am used to living here. Haicheng is a big city, too developed. I don't like it."
"It's because Dad has been gone for so many years, and I'm worried that you'll be lonely here."
"I have many sisters here, and we often get together. Besides, Shaocheng is not far from Haicheng. You should work less and come back to see me more often."
The housekeeper rushed in and said, "Second Young Master, there is a little girl outside the door who said she is looking for you."
Fu Nanli's expression froze. He immediately put down his chopsticks and hurried out with the housekeeper.
The old lady became excited, her eyes sparkling, "Little girl? Go and have a look."
Ye Minqiu quickly grabbed the old lady and said, "Mom, it's raining outside, please don't join in the fun."
"Did you hear that? He said there was a little girl. Is Nan Li dating someone?"
Ye Minqiu was vague: "No... not sure."
Since the brat wouldn't say anything, she couldn't reveal it.
Fu Nanli walked hurriedly to the gate and saw Lu Youyou with a serious expression.
Lu Youyou looked as if the sky was about to fall: "Master Fu, Qiao Qiao is waiting for you at the foot of the mountain."
"What's up with her?"
"She missed you."
Fu Nanli asked the driver to drive the car to the foot of the mountain and parked the car at the landslide site. Then he walked through the rocks and gravel without even bothering to open an umbrella.
The lights of the black BMW SUV were on, the wipers were still shaking from side to side, and the windshield was fogged up, making it difficult to see what was inside.
The engineering team's headlights were on, and behind them were the sounds of workers working busily.
Fu Nanli walked quickly to the car, opened the door, and saw Wen Qiao half lying on the seat. A boy in the back seat was leaning forward and looking at her, so close that he instinctively felt annoyed.
He reached out and pushed the chair higher. Dong Yao saw the man coming and slowly stood up. He saw the coldness in the man's eyes.
…
He was just observing the patient's reaction as a doctor, why was he so hostile
"Qiao'er..." Fu Nanli reached out and gently touched Wen Qiao's face, while Lu Youyou held an umbrella for him.
"What's wrong with her?" Fu Nanli turned to look at Lu Youyou.
Lu Youyou said with a stiff upper lip: "We drove all the way here, and she...she fell asleep."
Fu Nanli looked at the person lying on the car seat with doubt in his heart. He didn't look like he was asleep, but rather like he had fainted.
The hand she was holding suddenly moved, and Wen Qiao suddenly opened her eyes. What she saw was Fu Nanli standing in the backlight. His face and expression were a little hazy, but they made her feel extremely at ease.
She immediately hugged Fu Nanli.
Fu Nanli had to bend slightly, half-slip into the car, pat her back gently, and asked in a clear voice, "What's wrong?"
Wen Qiao hugged him tightly. He had just come back from the gates of hell for the second time, and the fear was still clear in his mind.
"You said you would be back in Haicheng in three days, how could you lie to me?"
To Fu Nanli's ears, her voice was full of grievances, and her heart, which was dependent on him, had already softened into a puddle of mud.
No time to think about anything else.
"Because of the rain, the slope at the foot of the mountain collapsed."
Wen Qiao knew that she had seen everything, but she still wanted to complain and wanted to hear him speak softly.
"The phone call was unavailable. I waited for you in your apartment for two days."
There seemed to be mist in his voice, and he was slightly choked. Every word struck his heart, and every word expressed his grievance.
"There's no signal in the mountains, and the hillside happened to collapse, so the old lady had an excuse to keep us here for two more days. It's not easy to walk."
Wen Qiao said in a muffled voice: "Oh, I see."
