Chapter 121: The Former Residence
Su Jing was startled when she opened the door and came in, the room was dark, and only the light coming in from the outside could make people see the situation in the living room a little clearly-Qing Huan was wearing a silk satin nightgown, sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed, her eyes staring at the wall in front of her in a daze, and there was no superfluous expression on her face.
"Qinghuan?" Su Jing didn't dare to turn on the light, walked over on tiptoe, and cautiously called her.
"Finally willing to come back?" Qing Huan seemed to come back to his senses, turned his head to look at her, and spoke a little playfully.
"Scared the hell out of me, I thought you were sleepwalking. Su Jing patted her chest, breathed a sigh of relief, and then pressed the switch on the wall, and suddenly the living room was lit up.
The sudden light made Qing Huan's eyes a little uncomfortable, and after she raised her hand to block it, she saw that the clock hand hanging on the wall was just pointing to 3.
"By the way, I'll tell you something," Su Jing said as she walked over to the bedroom, "I'm going to move out." β
"Move out?" Qing Huan looked in her direction with some surprise, "Where are you moving to?"
"The restaurant is about to open, and I'm going to find a place to stay closer to there, so it's easier to go back and forth every day. β
"Then when are you going to move?" asked Qing Huan after a pause.
"In just the past few days, I've asked someone to look for a place, and when I find it, I'll move over, and when the restaurant opens, I'll see if there is a suitable house to buy one, so as not to rent a place that is always not so pleasant. Su Jing's voice came out of the bedroom intermittently.
Qing Huan groaned for a while, then slowly got up from the sofa, walked to the door of Su Jing's bedroom, leaned against the door and whispered, "Are you really going to stay here?"
"It's a good place, the economic development is good, the city is good, I think it's quite suitable to settle down. Su Jing had already changed into her pajamas, sat down at the dresser and began to loosen her hair.
"I think it's mainly a good person, right?" Qing Huan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile.
Su Jing turned her head to look at her, smiled, and didn't deny it.
"Aren't you and White still going through the divorce procedures? aren't you afraid that his lawyer will get some tricks, and what hardships will you suffer in the distribution of property at that time?" Qing Huan couldn't help frowning when he saw that his guess was confirmed.
"Don't worry, White is not the kind of stingy person, otherwise how could I marry him in the first place, now this kind of ending can be said to be a happy ending, he found his true love, and I also found my crush......" Su Jing said disapprovingly.
Qing Huan saw that she was determined, and didn't continue to say anything, just hooked the corners of her lips, "Then when are you going to take me to meet your crush?"
Su Jing smiled mysteriously, "It's not the time yet, when I arrange it here, I will naturally arrange for you to meet." β
Seeing that she was pretending to be mysterious, Qing Huan pursed her lips and stopped talking, turned around and was about to go back to her room, but as soon as she turned around, she heard Su Jing's slightly worried voice ringing out, "Qing Huan, are you really fine?"
Qing Huan's footsteps paused, then waved his hand, and then continued to walk back to his bedroom.
After returning to the room, she didn't turn on the light, but sat on the bay window with a pillow, looking at the lights outside the window, are people forgetful animals? Maybe yes, she thought, otherwise, how could she have so many meaningless emotions after coming into contact with Chen Yidong in the past few days...... Qing Huan closed his eyes and let out a long sigh, not wanting to care about the complicated feelings in his heart anymore, anyway, now he has only one purpose, that is, the five percent of the shares of Lang Mu in Chen Yidong's hand.
Early in the morning, when Qing Huan went downstairs, he saw Chen Yidong standing by the flower garden as usual. But today he had a cup of coffee in his hand and drank it one by one. Seeing her coming, he threw the paper cup in his hand into the trash.
"Early. Qing Huan looked at him with a smile.
"Early. "He looks a little lazy today, and his dark gray sportswear shows that he is tall and thin, and his face is clear. When she got closer, he suddenly reached out and pulled her into his arms and kissed her.
Qing Huan's heart fluttered slightly, and he let him kiss it. He had a faint and mellow coffee taste in his mouth, which she liked, and when he let go, she said, "It's best not to drink coffee on an empty stomach in the morning." β
In the hazy morning, Chen Yidong looked down at her: "Really?"
Qing Huan still laughed in the end and said, "What's 'yes'?
Chen Yidong also smiled. Reaching out and touching her neck, rubbing his fingertips as before. Qing Huan's feeling was itchy and numb, and his heart was beating as much as he did back then.
No one spoke, and all the subtle emotions seemed to be silent. The two of them ran towards the rising sun in front of them.
I have to admit that the man's physical recovery speed is still very fast. In the first few days, although he was able to stand side by side with her, he was obviously quite tired after the run. Now, he's relaxed.
It was already an hour after the run, and on the way back, Chen Yidong asked her, "Today is the weekend, do you have any arrangements?"
"I'm going to the company for a video conference in the morning. Qing Huan thought for a moment and said, then turned his head to look at him, "What about you, don't you have to work overtime?"
"Nothing lately. Chen Yidong replied succinctly, "If it's okay after the meeting, I'll take you somewhere." β
Qing Huan thought for a moment, nodded and agreed.
When Qing Huan went downstairs after the meeting, he saw that Chen Yidong's car had stopped downstairs, got into the car, and arrived at his destination after not driving for long.
Qing Huan got out of the car, looked at some familiar buildings in front of him, and lost his mind slightly.
Chen Yidong had already put her shoulders around: "Let's go, go in first." β
It was his original villa, and the appearance looked no different from what he remembered, but after all these years, the color of the building was still darker, but it did not affect its elegant appearance.
Chen Yidong took out the key to open the door of the house, and all the furniture and furnishings she saw were exactly the same as she remembered. The interior is clean and tidy, and should be cleaned regularly.
Qing Huan stood in the center of the living room, and the memories of the past resurfaced in front of him one by one, he was cooking breakfast for her in the kitchen in the early morning, and the two were playing on the sofa together, watering the banana tree in the yard together......
"Let's go, go upstairs. Chen Yidong took her hand and walked upstairs.
"What are you bringing me here for?" she asked softly.
"I'll come back and get something. His voice was low, and he pulled her up step by step.
When she arrived at the master bedroom, Qing Huan saw that the furnishings inside had hardly changed, even the thin blanket on the sofa was exactly the same as in her memory, and there was a cardboard box next to the bed with her name on it.
Qing Huan glanced at Chen Yidong, his face was calm. She walked over and gently opened the box, but inside was a pile of bits and pieces, all sealed in a clear plastic bag. They were all some personal belongings left behind when she lived here before, and she was in a hurry to leave, and she didn't have time to take these things.
She shuddered in her heart, closed her eyes, closed the box, and chuckled, "These things are useless, what are you keeping them for?"
Chen Yidong didn't answer, but hugged her tightly from behind.
Qing Huan bit her lip, knowing that he must have done it on purpose, deliberately bringing her here, wanting to evoke her past memories and reproduce the sweet bits and pieces between the two of them...... But how could he not have imagined that this place, in addition to those good memories, was also the place where her whole pain began, when he left himself here alone, and then the whole person was not heard from, and it was here that she was taken away by the police, panicked about what she was about to face in the future.
Yet he was a man, she was a woman, and she still felt her heart tremble when he lowered his head and kissed her earlobe.
"At that time, where did you go?" Obviously his body was already intoxicated by his kiss, but there was still a trace of clarity in his brain, and Qing Huan finally asked this question, a question that had not been able to let her go for many years.
Chen Yidong turned her over, held her face, there was a bit of color in his eyes that couldn't be dissolved, stared at her for a while, then sighed softly, led her to sit on the sofa next to her, and said slowly: "I thought you wouldn't ask this question again." β
"I think I should know what happened back then?" Qing Huan looked at him stubbornly, "Why did you leave without saying a word, why didn't you even show your face when I needed you the most?"
"After the incident between Mo He and Miss Ning came out, I knew that the person they were really targeting was me, and you were just affected by me, but I was too confident at the time, thinking that even if they calculated me, I could solve this matter, and I thought that I had the ability to protect you and not let you be implicated, so I used part of my family relationship to deal with this matter, but I didn't expect that this matter would be used by someone with a heart. Chen Yidong said in a low voice, and then raised his eyes to look at her.
Qing Huan stared at him for a moment, waiting for him to continue.
"When I was young, my health was not very good, I always grew up by my grandfather's side, and the relationship with my parents was relatively weak, and my mother was a very controlling person, she wanted to control my life and my sister's life, and she still had some restraint when my grandfather was alive, but at that time my grandfather happened to be sick and admitted to the hospital, and I couldn't manage so much about things outside, and your incident would not have developed to that point, it was because my mother wanted to control me through you, and all the deliberate pressure on people made things almost out of control at that pointγ β
"So, you had to leave me because you were threatened by your mother?"
"Qinghuan...... At that time, if I still choose to be with you, it will only hurt you. Chen Yidong looked at her with a complicated expression, and spoke a little helplessly.
"I see. Qing Huan said with a smile, but there was a heavy darkness in the depths of his eyes.
