CHAPTER XXVIII
After Zhou Yanqi sent Xuanrong, he was ready to go home. When passing by the cake shop on the corner that had not yet closed, he also specially parked and went in to pick out a fruit fresh milk cake for Ling Beibei. The little girl who didn't grow up was always willing to eat something sweet. The last time she brought back a box of chocolates on a business trip, she happily almost picked him up and shook him around, if it wasn't for his strength, he estimated that he would have to be thrown in the air for a 360-degree turn.
Buy her a small cake today, and she will be happy to death.
When he arrived at the door of the house and saw the dark light in the house, Zhou Yanqi felt a little strange in his heart, going to bed so early was not Ling Beibei's style of a night catγγγ
He didn't think much about it, carefully carried the cake, and quietly opened the door, ready to surprise her.
The lights filled the room, and there were leftover lobsters on the table, the shells neatly stacked on plates, and two disposable gloves next to them. Obviously, Ling Beibei looked like he had just finished eating. The corners of Zhou Yanqi's mouth curled up inadvertently, this kid, he ran away after eating, and it was estimated that he went upstairs to play games again.
He put the cake on the table and stood at the stairs and shouted, "Beibei, go downstairs, there is a gift waiting for you!"
Zhou Yanqi never thought in his life that one day he would be overjoyed because of a piece of cake.
He looked like he was waiting for praise, and stood downstairs happily waiting, waiting for Ling Beibei to rush down like a bird. But he waited a long time and didn't see the familiar figure.
Didn't you hear in the bath?
At this time, Zhou Yanqi already had a bad premonition in his heart, and he couldn't say why, he just felt very uneasy.
He walked to the door of Ling Beibei's room, held his breath, and knocked politely.
One, two, threeγγγ
No response.
Zhou Yanqi's heart was down, even if he was scolded for blood, he would admit it. He held the doorknob as nervously as if he had opened a blind box, he had been married to Ling Beibei for so long, and this was the second time he had entered her room. Before they got married, there was an unwritten rule that they could not enter each other's rooms without each other's consent. They have always obeyed it very well, and Ling Beibei does not have a strong interest in him like other girls, and loves to tinker with this and that in his room all day long, but Zhou Yanqi has a strong curiosity about her room.
He turned on the light, and Ling Beibei's room was completely in the style of a little girl. Pink wallpaper, all kinds of little dolls everywhere, a big pink bed with her favorite SpongeBob SquarePants on it.
What a little girl who doesn't grow up.
Zhou Yanqi smiled and tried to call again: "Beibei, are you there?"
In the past, when Ling Beibei was at home, he carried all kinds of couriers, and he felt that the house was too small, and even considered buying a larger house. But now, Ling Beibei is not there, and he suddenly feels that this house is so empty.
Empty, he panicked.
Zhou Yanqi hurriedly took out his mobile phone and knocked out a string of numbers that had long been imprinted in his mind, without noticing that his hands were trembling at all.
The phone has long been turned off.
Ling Beibei had long known that if Zhou Yanqi couldn't find her, he would definitely find various ways to find her. She didn't want to see Zhou Yanqi at all now.
Or rather, I don't know how to face it.
Ling Yaofei watched her distracted, brewed her a cup of hot milk, found a small velvet blanket for her to drape, and sat cross-legged opposite her, like when she was a child.
"Beibei, divorce is not something to be said casually. If Zhou Yanqi treats you badly, we can sit down and negotiate a solution. You're a girl, and divorce still has a little bit of an impact on you. Ling Yaofei touched his little sister's head lovingly, after being an elder brother for so many years, he knew that she must be very sad now.
From the moment he became sensible, he did his best to protect his little sister. He never wanted her to know about the deceit in the business field. He only hopes that Ling Beibei can grow up healthy and happy and be a carefree little princess. Until he got married later, although he couldn't look down on a son-in-law like Zhou Yanqi, he couldn't say anything because of the relationship between the two families. He originally thought that as long as Zhou Yanqi didn't make anything out of the ordinary, it would be understandable for Bei Bei to marry him. didn't expect what happened one after another, and he gradually began to feel that something was wrong, but even so, he never thought that Bei Bei would get divorced.
The marriage and divorce of two families are not so easy.
Ling Beibei is not stupid, she knows that from a certain point of view, she can be regarded as a victim, but she never cares so much. Originally, he also agreed with Zhou Yanqi that he would divorce in a year.
At that time, I never thought that I would be emotional, nor did I think that the idea of divorce would come so quickly.
She sighed and said in a hoarse voice, "I know. But big brother, I'm so sad. Ling Beibei is Ling Beibei, and he can never be a substitute for others. β
The words that Zhou's mother said were like a row of fine and dense silver needles, piercing her soft heart.
Thinking about Xuanrong's gentle and elegant appearance, maybe if he leaves at this time, he can still leave himself a little dignity.
Ling Yaofei wanted to persuade her again, but she waved her hand to stop her, saying that she was very tired and wanted to sleep. My sister spoke herself, and he didn't want to say anything, so he hugged her, turned around and closed the door.
In fact, she is not sleepy at all, but she wants to be quiet for a while now. She knows more than anyone else, but at this moment, she wants to stay by herself for a while. She needs to think on her own.
It also needs to be missed by someone.
The moon hung lonely in the air, and Zhou Yanqi, who was about to collapse, couldn't sleep at this time.
He searched all the places where Ling Beibei might go, but he couldn't find the little figure, he called Rongguang to check the entry and exit records, but he couldn't find it. He smoked several cigarettes in a row, and his feet were full of crushed cigarette butts.
Ling Beibei, where the hell have you been!
"Boss, do you think Miss Bei Bei will go to Miss Xuanrong?"
Although he doesn't have a wife, he understands the jealousy between women, even if he watches TV series. Although Miss Bei Bei is not as calm as Miss Xuanrong, she is not cute either, and she is full of energy all day long. At first, he also felt that he was not a good match for Zhou Yanqi, but gradually, the smile on Zhou Yanqi's face became more and more, and at that time he knew that this energetic Miss Ling was really the right person for Zhou Yanqi.
Zhou Yanqi had long lost the ability to think, and as soon as he heard that it was possible to find Ling Beibei, he immediately pinched his cigarette and drove to Xuanrong's residence, and he didn't even have time to make a phone call, so he rang the doorbell directly.
Fortunately, Xuanrong didn't sleep either, and Zhou Yanqi, who saw his eyes scarlet, was startled, and asked a little strangely, "What's wrong with you?"
Zhou Yanqi pursed his dry lips, a handful of sand in his throat, and asked in a low voice, "Has Ling Beibei been here?"
As soon as he heard Ling Beibei's name, the light in Xuanrong's eyes suddenly dimmed. Zhou Yanqi will never know how happy she was when she saw him standing at the door of her house.
It's like winning the jackpot.
No, it's more fun than hitting the jackpot.
Seeing Xuanrong's silence, Zhou Yanqi thought that Ling Beibei had come, he held on to the door frame, a little incredulous: "Ling Beibei has really been here?!"
"No, she hasn't been here. β
Zhou Yanqi just had a glimmer of hope, and suddenly shattered into countless pieces of glass slag, and the tip of his heart was bleeding.
