Even though they had only been separated for two months, hearing his voice again made her feel as if a whole world had passed. In that instant, her throat had become hoarse and bitter.
He did not hear her response, so he repeated, "Are you there?"
"Yes."
"What is it?" His question was very stiff, and it was clear that he was a bit impatient.
She had wanted to go straight to the office to see him, but the plane was late, so she went to the office now to see him. He might have already left, so she pla
ed to go straight to his place to look for him.
However, she knew that if she asked directly where he lived, he would probably guess that she was going to meet him. Perhaps he wouldn't tell her the address, so she instantly thought of a plan ??
"Um, the weather has turned cold, but I don't even have Xiao Xi's autumn and winter clothes here. If I buy them temporarily, I don't have that much time, and Xiao Xi isn't willing to go shopping ?? So, can I get someone to go to your residence and pack Xiao Xi's clothes and luggage for you to send over? " She gave full marks for his reasons.
"Are you really that busy? "So busy that you don't even have time to buy clothes for your child?" Dan Yan's voice became colder and more sullen.
"Sorry ??" That was all she could say.
Dan Yan scoffed, "If you don't have time to take care of Xiao Xi and his, you can give me the two children. Then, you don't need to worry about their living arrangements!"
His disgusted tone made her heart ache.
Did he really hate her that much?
"It's not that I'm not worried about my two children, but I have been rather busy recently ??" She tried to explain that she didn't want him to be in a bad mood.
Dan Yan smirked, "Alright, you don't need to send anyone to get your clothes, I will have someone send over Xiao Xi's clothes."
"Don't... The weather is already cold, I don't want to wait for the mail. Coincidentally, I have a former female colleague who is currently in City H, she can help me bring Xiao Xi's clothes here today ?? If you don't want Xiao Xi to not have clothes on for the next few days, please tell me your current address, I will immediately ask her to go to your residence to get them. " she said earnestly, praying that he would not doubt her.
Dan Yan was worried that Xiao Xi would catch a cold, and finally said, "I will give you half an hour. If your previous colleagues do not come, then please ask for a leave of absence to buy all of Xiao Xi's clothes tomorrow. Otherwise, I will make you lose the rights to take care of these two children!"
"Alright, she'll be there in half an hour. She's in the city right now ??" You live in the city, too? Now give me your address. " Her heart began to pound when she sensed that she was about to see him.
Dan Yan immediately ended the call and sent a bunch of addresses to her phone.
When she found out that his residence was five to six kilometers away from the company, it wasn't too far. He would definitely be there within half an hour.
Although there was a traffic jam, she still arrived at his residence half an hour later.
This was a tall building that stood erect at the center of the city, and Dan Yan's residence was at the top floor of this building. When night fell, one could imagine how beautiful the scenery of the night was.
Even though she said that she was Dan Yan's friend and came to Dan Yan's place to retrieve her things, the security guards were not convinced. It was only until the security guards spoke to Dan Yan on the phone that they allowed her to pass.
She believed that Dan Yan did not know that it was her, and thought that it was her colleague. Hence, when she stood in the elevator and looked at the numbers on the gradually increasing floors, she became extremely nervous.
In her entire life, she had never felt this nervous before. For the first time, she looked forward to see him so much, so much worried about seeing him ??
She hoped that the result would be good. As long as he still cared about her, she would do everything she could to save him ??
However, she was more afraid that the result would be bad. If that was the case, her heart would sink to the bottom. It would be as unbearable and helpless as falling into hell ??
Therefore, her heart was truly nervous ??
She prayed to the heavens to give her a chance, to give her a chance to make up to him ??
As long as he could save her, she would use the rest of her life to make up for the pain he had suffered here for the past ten years.
With a "ding" from the elevator, her thoughts were pulled back to reality.
Since there were only two apartments on this floor, she made it to the door of his apartment without a hitch.
When she was fully prepared, she rang the doorbell of his apartment.
She knew that the security system in his room would be able to see her standing in the doorway, but she didn't want to flinch. If he didn't want to open the door because of this, she would ring the bell until he came out to meet her.
Unfortunately, the first time she pressed the doorbell, he did not respond at all.
Her heart had begun to sink, but she mustered the courage to ring the bell a second time.
She didn't want the door to open this second time. She already had a premonition that he wouldn't open the door ?? He didn't want to see her at all.
She didn't want to give up just like that, because it was her only chance to be with him right now, so she pressed the doorbell for the third time.
But when there was still no response from the apartment door, she was finally certain that he didn't want to see her at all ??
She could no longer ring the bell and leaned helplessly against the marble wall of the corridor.
Her heart felt like it had fallen into an icy lake, suddenly cooling down and losing all its temperature ??
However, she didn't want to leave just like that. She slowly slid down the cold marble wall and finally squatted on the ground, hugging her knees.
She didn't know if he could still see her movements outside, but she didn't want to show him that she was weak. She couldn't fly, so she was really tired and dizzy ??
But she wouldn't give up. She would wait for him at the door, until he never left the apartment.
It had never felt like so long before. Every second felt like a century. She felt more and more dizzy, and her body felt colder and colder ??
She had really thought that tonight she would collapse on the cold, empty corridor, but she hadn't expected the door next to her to suddenly open the moment her mind drifted off.
At that moment, she mustered all her strength and got up just in time to see him open the door and his figure in a black robe appear before her.
Her weak eyes met his.
"What are you doing here?"
His voice was cold and without any warmth. It was like an ice-cold cellar, causing people to feel a chill in their heart and causing their bodies to tremble.
"I... I came here specifically to find you. There are some things that I want to tell you. " The moment she saw him, all the discomfort and dizziness vanished without a trace, and her eyes instantly turned red.
Dan Yan stared at her with his ice-cold black eyes. "Speak."
