Text Chapter 355 Jealousy
"Give me an extra pot of vinegar." Zhan Leyan said to the waiter.
"Okay sir, wait a minute." The waiter smiled and withdrew.
Is he really jealous? Cheng Ruoke secretly looked at Zhan Leyan's face and found that he was staring at him intently, so he retracted his gaze in a panic and looked down at the sweet and sour garlic on the small plate next to him.
Suddenly a strong wind blew outside, and almost instantly, the sky that had just been a little gloomy immediately became cloudy.
"Stormy ......" Cheng Ruoke turned his head to look out the window, a little worried, "Nuan Nuan will be scared when she is alone in the hotel." β
"Boy, isn't it a little too squeamish to be afraid of the storm?" Zhan Le Yan has always taught children to be strict, but as everyone knows, in Nuan Nuan's heart, his father is just a naΓ―ve ghost trying to establish the image of a strict father.
"She's afraid of thunder." Cheng Ruoke was really worried, "I'd better go back and have a look." β
Cheng Ruoke grabbed his bag and walked out, resenting his son in his heart for taking away his exclusive right in Cheng Ruoke's heart.
The waiter was coming over with the food, and when he saw that the customer was leaving, he was a little anxious.
"Sorry sir, the dish has already been prepared, if you two just leave......"
Before the waiter finished speaking, Zhan Leyan had already taken out a few pieces from his wallet and put them on the plate of Niu Ball.
"Next time, I'll keep it."
As soon as Cheng Ruoke pushed the door open, a strong wind blew in her face, blowing her long hair and almost pushing her back into the hot pot restaurant.
It was so windy, it was dark in an instant, and it seemed that a heavy rainstorm was coming.
Zhan Leyan hugged Cheng Ruoke's waist from behind to stabilize her body that was blown a little shaky.
Suddenly, there was a loud bang, as if the sky had exploded, and a thunderbolt fell.
"Ahh Cheng Ruoke screamed, turned around and threw herself into Zhan Leyan's arms.
It turned out that the son was afraid of thunder, and he inherited his mother's.
Zhan Le Yan grabbed Cheng Ruoke and quickly stuffed her into the car, while he bypassed the front of the car and entered the cab.
After sitting down, Cheng Ruoke's face was a little pale and he arranged his hair that was blown into a madman.
Zhan Leyan reached out to help her sweep away the hair that covered her face.
"Don't worry." Zhan Leyan stroked Cheng Ruoke's face, then started the car and rushed into the storm.
Bean-sized raindrops smashed on the windshield and windows, and even the roof was crackling.
The raindrops were getting denser and denser, and the cars on the road were moving slowly, so Zhan Leyan turned on the windshield wipers and scraped the rain off the windows.
However, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, the thunder was rolling, and Cheng Ruoke clenched his fists, looking nervous and scared.
Zhan Leyan vacated his right hand, grabbed Cheng Ruoke's fist, and clenched it gently.
Cheng Ruoke grabbed Zhan Leyan's big hand with his backhand, held it tightly, and felt the warmth coming from the palm of his hand.
When did she start being afraid of thunder?
It was in Switzerland, Nuan Nuan was less than a year old, and it was raining heavily in the middle of the night, and the thunder seemed to be as loud as falling on my ears.
Sister Lan was not there, Nuan Nuan had a high fever, Cheng Ruoke held a crooked umbrella that was blown, and stood on the side of the road to take Nuan Nuan to the hospital.
She had never heard so much thunder in a rain, lightning and thunder, as if the sky was angry, the pouring rain made her soak, the rain ran down her hair and face, and through her clothes, and down the corners of her skirt, and fell to the ground.
Nuan Nuan was hugged by her mother, crying and hiding in the small quilt, her little fists clenched tightly, and her face was red from crying.
Fortunately, I met a kind person passing by and drove them to the hospital.
It seems that from that time on, Cheng Ruoke and Nuan Nuan were very afraid of thunder.
The car was moving very slowly, and Cheng Ruoke was even more anxious.
When Nuan Nuan is in the thunderstorm, he has to hide in his mother's arms to feel at ease, otherwise he will be anxious and will hide in the cabinet and cry.
"Zhan Leyan, drive faster." She is no longer the calm and calm Cheng Ruoke, and now she just wants to hold her son in her arms in the next second.
She blamed herself for not paying attention to the weather forecast.
Zhan Leyan took out his mobile phone to call Xiao Yang, but the call was unanswered.
So he called the person in charge of the hotel.
"Old Wu, let someone go to my room and take a look, my son is inside." The hotel is a hotel for Zhan Leyan, and the people in it are naturally also Zhan Leyan's people.
"Okay, Mr. Zhan, I'll go now." The person called Lao Wu immediately replied respectfully.
Zhan Leyan hung up the phone and turned his head to comfort Cheng Ruoke: "Don't worry, I've already let people see it." It's going to be fine. β
"Hmm." Cheng Ruoke nodded, but there was an ominous premonition in his heart.
It always seemed as if something was going to happen, and she was restless, anxious and worried.
"Listen to the song?" Zhan Leyan suddenly turned on the car music, rummaged through it, and the unique musical atmosphere of soda green came from the player.
"You know, even if the rain dumps the whole city......"
It was the little love song of soda green, Cheng Ruoke suddenly remembered that it seemed that a long time ago, when they had just gotten married and their relationship was basically in a state of strangers, Jason had played this song in the car.
At that time, Zhan Leyan specially asked, what is the name of this song.
Little love song, she remembered telling him so.
"I love this song." Zhan Leyan kept holding Cheng Ruoke's hand and said softly.
Cheng Ruoke listened to the music, and his mood gradually improved.
The speed of the car was still very slow, the windshield wipers crackling on the lathe, the sound of car horns everywhere, the sound of the wind blowing through the canopy, the sound of billboards being crackled, all kinds of sounds mixed with the heavier and heavier rain......
"Nuan Nuan has been afraid of thunder since she was a child, because one day, I hugged him and ...... in a thunderstorm" Cheng Ruoke slowly told the story of that rainy night, and now it is Zhan Leyan's turn to look ugly and clench his fists.
His hands gripped the steering wheel, his joints turning white from the exertion.
"Why don't you come back to me!" His voice trembled slightly.
Cheng Ruoke smiled bitterly.
"At that time, the news of your engagement to Fang Yue had already made me disheartened." Cheng Ruoke thinks back to the three years he has experienced, and he still can't let go of some difficult moments.
Every time I think about it, I feel sad in my heart.
She felt distressed for Nuan Nuan and felt lost for Zhan Leyan.
"You self-righteous woman!" Although Zhan Leyan was a reproach, his tone was full of distress, "Don't do stupid things in the future, don't you hear it!" β
He hammered his fist the steering wheel, angry and resentful of himself.
"It's all gone." Cheng Ruoke said lightly, "I think it's most important to live in the moment and cherish the talents in front of you." β
Just at the red light in front of him, Zhan Leyan stopped the car, unbuckled his seat belt, and caught him off guard and hugged him tightly in his arms.
"You made me feel like a jerk, I'm guilty, I'm sorry." He whispered in her ear.
The singing was circulating in the carriage, and the sound of the storm was raging outside, but Cheng Ruoke was extremely peaceful at this time.
On that stormy night, the black memory of stopping the car in the thunderstorm with Nuan Nuan finally faded slowly at this moment.
Just like back then, all she needed was a solid hug from Zhan Leyan, which was so simple now, but it was so unattainable at the beginning.
"Zhan Leyan, it should be me who said sorry," Cheng Ruoke's eyes were red, and he looked at the water curtain on the car window that was like a splash of water that had half slid down, "You're right, I'm too self-righteous, I should have come back to you earlier." β
Then the things that Fang Yue caused later, would not have happened, and Nuan Nuan would not have a weird personality because of the lack of father's love, let alone be afraid of thunder.
The car behind honked its horn to signal, and Zhan Leyan let go of Cheng Ruoke's arms and continued to move forward.
He saw the tears in the corners of Cheng Ruoke's eyes, and his heart ached.
The heavy rain was like the Milky Way bursting the embankment in the sky, and the rain almost cut off the view from the car window.
Zhan Leyan's phone rang suddenly, and he saw the caller ID, it was Lao Wu.
"Old Wu, is the child okay?" Zhan Leyan immediately asked.
"Mr. Zhan, the child is gone, come back and have a look!" Lao Wu shouted anxiously over there, listening to the voice as if he was outside, "I have mobilized everyone to look for it, I am on my way to the monitoring room, you come back quickly, I feel that something is not right!" β
Zhan Leyan didn't say a word, threw down the phone, slid the front of the car towards the side lane, and accelerated on the non-motorized lane and drove forward.
Cheng Ruoke didn't ask anything, because she guessed from Zhan Leyan's expression that Nuan Nuan was not good.
Fortunately, because of the rain, there were no motorcycles and bicycles on the non-motorized road, and the car rushed forward with double flashes all the way, and soon arrived downstairs of the hotel.
Cheng Ruoke ignored that he was wet, opened the door and rushed out of the car.
Zhan Leyan followed.
At the door of the hotel, Lao Wu was waiting, and some high-level executives were also standing there with worried faces to greet them.
"What about people!" Zhan Leyan asked loudly and angrily.
Everyone bowed their heads, not daring to look at the angry lion.
"Mr. Zhan, madam, don't worry, listen to me......" Lao Wu tried to calm Zhan Leyan's emotions. But it doesn't seem to be as useful as it seems.
Cheng Ruoke originally thought that Nuan Nuan was just crying because he was afraid of thunder, but now when he saw the expressions of these people, he immediately knew that things didn't seem to be as simple as he imagined. I thought it was a simple thing, but I didn't expect that there was something hidden in it, he suddenly became alert, and suddenly, he felt a little scared, and this wonderful feeling came from nowhere. He has never been a person who is good at fear, but at this time, he has a wonderful, fearful feeling in his heart.
"Where's the kid?" Cheng Ruoke asked Lao Wu tremblingly. There was also some faint uneasiness in her heart......
"Kid...... The child was taken away. Lao Wu stammered.
"Who took it away? What about Xiao Yang? Isn't Xiao Yang taking care of Nuan Nuan? Cheng Ruoke burst into tears.
"What the hell is going on?" Zhan Leyan pulled Cheng Ruoke into the rest area of the hotel lobby and took off his coat to put it on her.
