After hanging up the phone, Shi Niange left the company and drove home.
Right now, the place she was staying at was not far from the company. It was an apartment she had borrowed from a friend at the last minute. In the past few days, she had already invited someone to return to Lishui Villa to tidy up. In about half a month, she would be able to move back to Lishui Villa. Recently, she had been temporarily staying in her friend’s apartment.
She had heard from the cleaning company that the villa opposite her family’s villa was planted with a lot of fruits and vegetables. She felt that the people living there should be an old couple or an upstart farmer. The back garden was filled with all sorts of tempting fruits and vegetables. It was planted quite well and she felt that any tomato would taste especially good.
So Qin Siting had already moved away?
After returning to the country, the car she drove belonged to a friend. She had just returned and had yet to prepare anything. Everything was still in Los Angeles, and she did not buy a car. The silver-gray BMW sped along the road and stopped at a red light intersection. She lowered her head to look at her phone. At this moment, a car stopped by the side. She turned her head to take a look and saw that it was a white Porsche. She had always liked this Porsche. It was from last year, but she had never had the time to change it. Now that she had returned to Hai City, she could consider this.
Her gaze only lingered on the car for a moment. She lowered her head to look at her phone again. It was a message from Zhao Xiaoqing. She had booked a meeting place with her, but the time was not fixed.
After replying to the text message, the red light turned green. She raised her head and continued driving. As she looked ahead, she recalled Lele’s childish question on the phone. “Where is Daddy?”
Four years had passed. They had both grown up. They were no longer the childish and stubborn couple who had risked their lives to be together.
Everything became calmer and clearer. Her senses also became much clearer. She was no longer immersed in it. Occasionally, she could leave her original self and be a bystander.
Four years ago, it was as though she was walking on a steel chain. She did not regret taking the initiative to love, nor did she regret giving birth to Lele.
She suddenly remembered that when she first learned that something had happened to the Ling family, she had been very afraid of hearing about the Qin family and the Ling family. She was afraid of hearing about their engagement and marriage. However, the last thing she heard was that something had happened to the Ling family. The relationship between the Qin family and the Ling family became more and more awkward because of Qin Siting’s rejection. Afterward, for some reason, they gradually became distant. Furthermore, Qin Siting had never been engaged to Ling Xuaner.
All of this meant that what she had seen that day was just a misunderstanding. At that time, she had been standing on the steel chain and was on the verge of collapsing. She had thought that she would fall off at any moment. Now that she had sobered up, she recalled that she had never asked him a single word or given him a chance to explain.
She had taken the initiative to chase him and love him.
She was the one who initiated the breakup.
Qin Siting had probably already found out what exactly happened to her four years ago, but he didn’t look for her. She also knew that he had gone to the United States to settle some matters in the past few years, but he didn’t see her. He didn’t even reply to that message.
He should be angry and hateful.
The car stopped downstairs in the district. Shi Niange got out of the car and entered the district. She looked up at the evening sky.
This was Hai City’s sky.
Qin Siting, I’m back. It’s no longer my morning and your night. It’s no longer twelve hours away. I’m back.
But you have probably completely removed me from your life.
After all, even I knew where I was wrong.
The moment she got home, Lele pounced on her. “Mommy!”
Shi Niange hugged the little fellow and kissed her with a smile. Auntie Xiang was still the same. Usually, she was either cleaning the house or washing clothes for Lele or preparing food in the kitchen. Now that she was in the kitchen, she poked her head out and said, “Today, Lele said that the new kindergarten children gave her delicious food. Her little bag contained several biscuits, sweets, and chocolates. She also said that they liked her a lot. When I went to pick her up from the kindergarten, I saw that she was even carried out by the teacher. Then she held the teacher’s face and kissed it several times. I can tell that she must have liked this kindergarten very much.”
“That’s good. I was worried that she wouldn’t be used to the new environment,” Shi Niange said as she rubbed Lele’s little head.
“No, Lele’s character is so lively. She’s especially good at coaxing adults to be happy. Almost everyone who has seen Lele likes her. Look at our Lele’s charm. It’s only her first day at the new kindergarten, but she received so much good food from so many children. When she came back, she was especially happy. She said she still had to go tomorrow.”
Shi Niange held Little Lele in her arms and laughed in the living room. Every time she returned from the company, as long as she was with Lele, it was a warm, relaxed, and soft time. She shed the image of a senior manager that she had to maintain in the company. It was rare for her to return to the state of Shi Niange, who loved to laugh and joke.
…
In Hai City Hospital, Qin Siting rarely knocked off early today. He drove away and went straight to Zi Jing City Club.
This was the largest high society gathering place in Hai City. Only people with platinum and diamond cards could enter. Due to the severity of the hierarchy, even though there were many nightlife entertainment projects, very few illegal people could enter. Every high-class private room was guarded by a waiter and security guards.
“Why didn’t Ji Nuan come with you?” Qin Siting sat in the private room and waited for a while. He saw that Mo Jingshen had come alone today.
Li Nanheng had just returned from his phone call. When he placed the phone down, he first glanced at Qin Siting and then calmly turned to Mo Jingshen with a sneer on his face. “I was just about to ask. You almost hung Ji Nuan by your side every day, yet you didn’t let her follow you today?”
Mo Jingshen indifferently replied: “She’s busy.”
Qin Siting: “Your woman is busier than you?”
“Is there a problem?” Mo Jingshen glanced at him.
Qin Siting chuckled lightly. After so many years, he really only smiled the most in front of his two brothers. Of course, he had been stabbed by these two many times.
He stretched out his long legs and casually leaned back against the sofa. “Could it be that your woman is unwilling to be a virtuous wife at home and wants to grow wings and fly out? Why don’t you stop her? Aren’t you afraid that if she really does something, the number of men behind her will increase?”
“A virtuous wife?” Nanheng sat in front and sneered. “When did she become one?”
