Chapter 2487: Chapter 2487: Joining Forces to Set the Stage (Part 2)
The bits and pieces he missed were all captured by the camera, presenting themselves to him in a unique way.
An indescribable tremor coursed through his veins, causing his body to shudder slightly. He clenched his fists tightly, trying to rein in his emotions.
"Mr. Bai, I will stand guard outside the door."
The assistant, seeing the somewhat restrained expression on Bai Zheng’s face, took the initiative to move to the door, leaving the space for the family of three entirely to Bai Zheng.
Bai Zheng stood in front of the photos for a long time, meticulously looking at each one. As he gazed at the pictures, he felt as if Ye Mingmei had arranged the photo wall waiting for his return.
Waiting for him to come see their daughter...
Bai Zheng walked into the bedroom, looking at the warmly decorated room, stepped forward, sat on the bed, and ran his hand over the pillow, which no longer had warmth, yet he could still catch a faint scent belonging to Ye Mingmei.
This was the home he had set up for their little family of three. Once, he thought that perhaps Ye Mingmei would never have the chance to live here, but three years had passed, and she guarded the empty house he left behind, yet left him a home.
A home that belonged exclusively to them, symbolizing a new beginning.
Bai Zheng walked through each room. Ye Mingmei hadn’t changed much from his original setup, only making the place warmer, with traces everywhere of the life she shared with her daughter.
"Mr. Bai, it’s getting late. We shouldn’t linger too long to avoid being discovered." The assistant, waiting for Bai Zheng for a long time, finally couldn’t resist entering to remind him.
Bai Zheng glanced at the time, knowing he couldn’t stay long, otherwise, it might bring danger to the mother and daughter. Decisively, he stepped back into the bedroom and reached for a spot on the wall next to the bed.
Suddenly pressing his thumb on a raised spot, corresponding to the fingerprint lock, he pressed down forcefully.
"Click——"
After a clear sound, a small, built-in safe suddenly appeared on the wall. Bai Zheng effortlessly retrieved a set of keys from the safe.
After closing the safe, he cleaned up the traces of his visit before leaving the apartment.
Once out of the residential area, sitting in the car, Bai Zheng’s attention wasn’t on the keys in his hand, but his mind was filled with the scenes he witnessed in the apartment.
During these three years, he had missed their lives entirely. It was only here that he could vaguely feel a sliver of their life, their anticipation.
Bai Zheng closed his eyes and handed the keys to his assistant in the driver’s seat, "Go to the Yu family graveyard and retrieve what’s inside. You know what to do?"
"Yes, sir, I understand."
The assistant took the keys, immediately started the car, and left without hesitation.
-
Private villa.
Diwu Zexuan was once again stopped outside the door.
"Youyou, let Daddy in. Daddy will teach you how to handle the whip." Diwu Zexuan softened his voice, gently coaxing the little Youyou, who had dashed back into the room and refused to come out.
"I don’t want to. I want to wait for Mommy to come back." Youyou’s muffled voice came from the room, as if she had buried herself under the covers.
"Don’t you love the whip the most? Daddy can teach you to be really good with it, so you won’t have to worry about losing to your brother Tingye." Diwu Zexuan, with his tall frame, leaned against the door.
To coax his little princess to open the door, he didn’t hesitate to sell out little Tingye.
"Youyou, just open the door, and Daddy will agree to whatever you want once it’s open."
