Ye Xi's heart skipped a beat, he immediately took out his phone to look, and seeing that it was a certain someone, he quickly picked up, "Hubby!"
"??" There was a long silence in response.
Ye Xi bit her lips. If not for the shallow breathing sound coming from the phone, she would have thought that the call was not co
ected at all.
"Hubby." Ye Xi called out softly again, her small voice carrying a hint of apprehension.
"Yes." He replied, but it was only a word that sounded a little cold.
Ye Xi's eyes darkened, "Oh, I'm just calling to tell you that my mother is fine."
"..." "Right." Huo Yaoting was silent for a moment, then said indifferently, "Is there anything else?"
Ye Xi's heart turned cold, and her voice became softer and softer, "No more."
"Then that's it." "No," he said.
Ye Xi's eyes suddenly reddened.
His attitude was extremely cold.
She thought that if she told him that her mother was all right, he would be as relieved and happy as she was.
It seems like, it's her ?? Too many demands.
How could she ask him to give her mother the same care and care?
Ye Xi felt as though a huge boulder had pressed down on his heart, and took in a deep breath, "En, that's all."
"Du, du, du ??"
Hearing the ringing sound coming from the phone, the tip of Ye Xi's finger that was pinching the phone shook, and tears started to roll down from the corner of his eyes.
Pursing his lips tightly, Ye Xi sniffed with his nose, raised his hand to wipe his eyes, then threw his phone on the bed. He turned and walked out of the bedroom.
Ye Xi went out from the bedroom and walked to the living room. He did not see Xu Qiu, so he asked Aunt Wu who came out from the kitchen puzzledly, "Aunt Wu, where is my mother?"
"The hotel has some business, so Madam will be going over." Aunt Wu saw Ye Xi's red eyes and walked in front of her with concern. "Xiao Xi, what happened to you? You're crying? "
When Ye Xi heard that something was up in the hotel, he became anxious and shook his head, "I'm fine, Aunt Wu. Aunt Wu, is there something wrong at the hotel? "What is it?"
"Xiao Xi, don't be nervous. It's not a big deal. It seems like your wife is talking about the business report or something. I just need her to personally check her signature." Aunt Wu knew what happened this morning and had scared her. She was afraid that she would be worried, so she quickly replied.
After Ye Xi heard this, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
Within the Cloudwater Tea House, in a bamboo room near the lake that brimmed with the feeling of a small village in the southern part of the river.
He was wearing a dark green casual shirt and black pants. He was standing in the open air corridor outside the bamboo tower with his slender and strong index finger tapping lightly on the bamboo railing in front of him.
The door opened and closed behind him. A resentful gaze shot towards him.
The corner of the man's lips curled up slightly, but he didn't turn around. His voice was somewhat carefree, but it was still domineering. "Come here!"
After a long while, the sound of his footsteps could be heard.
The man lightly tapped the railing as he pointed for a while. His stern figure was embedded with a layer of coldness. "Since you've chosen to come here, why are you putting on an act!?"
"Chu Lingtian, you are despicable!" The gentle voice of a woman was sharp with extreme anger.
Chu Lingtian's jaw tightened.
He suddenly turned around, took a few big steps, and headed straight for the woman.
You, what are you doing? Don't, don't come here..." "Ahh!" In the midst of the woman's frightened screams, she was tightly hugged by the man.
The woman's face was pale and her eyes narrowed as she stared at the man who had suddenly approached her.
After this reunion, this was the first time he saw a woman's face up close.
It had clearly been twenty years, but she was still as beautiful as she was at the age of eighteen.
Chu Lingtian suddenly lowered his head, and was about to kiss the woman's lips.
"Don't... Chu Lingtian, you bastard, you can't treat me like this. Scram, scram ?? " The woman resisted his intimacy like a madman, her elegant face full of resistance and disgust.
Chu Lingtian held her face, his eyes were filled with pain. "Lan, I can't do it! After twenty years, I still can't do it! "
Xu Qiu's tears rolled down her face as she shook her head, "Don't call me with that name. I'm not qualified. I'm not qualified ??."
"??" Chu Lingtian squeezed out a red light from his eyes, clenched his teeth, and said, "It's already been twenty years, if you hate anymore, these twenty years of punishment is enough!"
"No, it's not enough!" Xu Qiu screamed, and fiercely pushed him away: "It's you, it's you who killed my brother, and indirectly killed my mother, you caused me to be unable to be filial, and caused me to have a family that I ca
ot return to, and caused me to have no choice but to throw away everything I had previously, I hate you, I hate you even to my death!"
"Yes, I was the one who killed your brother. However, you should be clear about the situation from that day. Either he died, or I died ??"
"Then why didn't you die?!" Xu Qiu screamed hatefully!
She had truly endured too much. She was just a woman, after experiencing all the hatred, scolding, embarrassment, and pain, she really couldn't help but feel hatred!
She hated him!
But now, why did he still come and force her!
She hated him!
Why didn't you die...
Why didn't you die!?
Why...
"Hahaha ??" Chu Lingtian laughed until his eyes were bloodshot, and laughed until the veins on his neck were dyed red.
Xu Qiu covered his ears, and tears rolled down his face. He muttered in pain, "I did not let you down, at least I did not let you down, I did not ??"
For an entire ten minutes, Chu Lingtian laughed madly. It was clearly not something fu
y, but he was laughing non-stop.
Xu Qiu stared at his smiling, yet twisted face, and felt a sharp pain in his heart.
However, he couldn't say the pain out loud.
Finally, his laughter stopped.
He stared at her with cold eyes. That coldness made Xu Qiu's hair stand on end.
Xu Qiu's back could not help but stick to the wall behind her. Her breathing became a little hurried, and her logic told her that she still could not leave, because her goal had not been achieved.
But emotionally, she really wanted to leave this man, who made her feel danger at any time.
