I reluctantly raised the corners of my lips and shook my head, walked over to Xixi's bedside and sat down, took the storybook out of his quilt, and asked in a pretended anger, "What's going on?" ”

Xixi's eyes flashed, pursed her lips, and confessed her mistake in a humble heart: "Mommy, Xixi is wrong, Xixi will never secretly read storybooks in the future." ”

I didn't want to blame him, it's not a bad thing for children to like to read, but it's just that it's dark at night, and he lies in bed reading a book, which easily hurts his eyes.

I lit the reading lamp at his bedside, picked him up, sat him back on the bed, re-covered him, and gave him back the storybook.

"Mommy didn't blame you, it's just that since you want to read, you always have to pay attention to your eyes, otherwise you will be short-sighted at a young age, and you won't be able to see anything clearly when the time comes."

Xi Xi immediately nodded obediently and swore in response: "Mommy, Xi Xi knows." ”

"Good!" I touched Xixi's head, and seeing his obedient appearance, I felt even more reluctant.

Seeing that I had been staring at him fixedly, Xi Xi blinked in confusion, "Mommy, why are you looking at me all the time?" ”

My heart was full of tenderness at this time, and the corners of my mouth also raised a smile, "Mommy is emotional, my Xixi is becoming more and more sensible, like a big child, and she can take care of herself in the future." ”

After receiving the compliment, Xixi smiled like eating honey, "Xixi can not only take care of herself, but also take care of her father and mommy!" ”

Thinking that I wouldn't be able to see Xixi in the future, my heart was blocked for a while, and my eyes began to pantothenic.

I took a deep breath, calmed down my emotions, and discussed with Xixi: "Xixi, Mommy is going to work abroad starting tomorrow, and it may take many days to come back." ”

Hearing that I was leaving, Xixi's eyes suddenly darkened.

He pursed his lips and asked a little unhappily, "Isn't it a long time since Xixi has seen Mommy?" ”

"Although Xixi can't see Mommy, your father will always be by your side during this time, and Dad will take care of Xixi as well." I took his hand and said with a bit of seriousness, "But Dad also has a lot of things to do, and it is also very hard to be distracted to deal with grandma." So Xixi has to listen to her father, and she can't be too coquettish and willful, you know? ”

Although Xixi looked reluctant, she nodded obediently.

He looked at me reluctantly, "Mommy will be back when she's done with work, right?" ”

Seeing the longing and fear in his eyes, I felt a bitterness in my heart.

I lowered my eyes and nodded haphazardly.

I can't bear to disappoint Heihei, but I can't promise him anything.

I helped Xixi to lie down, turned off the reading light for him, and whispered, "Okay, go to bed obediently, I have to go to kindergarten tomorrow!" ”

Seeing Xixi close her eyes, I got up and walked outside, turned off the bedroom light at the door, and reluctantly closed the door.

That night, I didn't feel sleepy.

I have decided to go to the United States alone, so I naturally have to arrange domestic affairs.

The business of Lai's Group and Eva Jewelry was explained in the document, and the mailbox was selected to be sent regularly.

Standing alone on the balcony, watching the sky outside change from dark to bright, watching the sun rise in the east as usual, and looking at the orange sunrise on the horizon, I felt for the first time that time passed so quickly.

The nursery teacher sent Xi Xi to the kindergarten, and Li Yunzhou personally took me to the airport.

Standing at the security checkpoint, Li Yunzhou's eyes were full of reluctance, and he pulled me into his arms, ignoring so many passers-by at the airport.

His dull voice sounded in my ears: "Don't worry, everything in the country has me." You take care of yourself and take care of the baby abroad, and Xixi and I are waiting for you to come back. ”

"Hmm." I answered softly, and there was a moment in my heart that I was reluctant to let go, but I forced myself to push him away.

Li Yunzhou kept watching me finish the security check and walk in before leaving, while I was alone in the huge waiting hall, but my heart felt like a heavy stone, and I was a little breathless.

I didn't know what kind of situation or accident I would face in the future, but I was prepared.

Half an hour before boarding, I received a call from Jona.

Presumably she didn't see me at the company, so she called to ask me about my whereabouts.

I steadied myself and calmly answered the phone.

"Hey."

"Ruan Dong, why haven't you come to the company yet? Do you want me to pick you up at home? Jona's tone was a little anxious, as if she was very worried about me.

I immediately refused lightly: "No need, I'm at the airport, I'm going to fly abroad, and I'll go to the headquarters of the United States to deal with some work." ”

On the other end of the phone, Joanna seemed to be unaware of my unexpected itinerary and was stunned for a moment.

I took the opportunity to say to her, "Jona, I've thought about it for the past two days. Although you are very skilled, it would be a shame to stay with me as a bodyguard. ”

Now that I'm going to stay in the country for a while, you don't have to be stuck in the company, you can do what you like. Even if I go back, it's not as dangerous as before, and I don't need you to protect me anymore. ”

After listening to my words, Qiao Na was silent for a few seconds, and then asked after a while, "Ruan Dong, do you mean that you want to fire me?" ”

"Firering" wasn't a very apt word, and I never treated Jonah like a regular employee.

I corrected her and said, "It's not a dismissal, we didn't have any employment agreement between us, we have always been equal." ”

"In that case, then I'll wait for you to come back in the country."

Jona's attitude was very resolute, and I didn't know what to do.

Just when I wanted to continue to persuade her, Qiao Na slowly spoke: "Ruan Dong, it was Sister Yuan Yue who arranged me by your side at the beginning, and let me be your personal bodyguard. Except for Mr., you are the only person I have followed, I will not leave, and when you are cured, I will be by your side as a bodyguard to protect you. ”

I was stunned as a nerve in my brain suddenly tensed.

She...... How would she know about my illness?

Jona also made a special promise to me: "I know that you chose to hide it because you don't want Mr. Li and Xixi to worry, and you don't want to give up the child in your womb because of your illness." I respect your choice and will not disclose your condition and whereabouts to anyone, but I hope that you can let me help you again, and contact me as soon as possible to solve any situation. ”

Jona, who has always been quiet and cold, said something touching at this time, which made me really reluctant to refuse her.

I sighed helplessly, it seems that Yuan Yue is afraid that he has already found out.

I was puzzled and asked, "You've been suspicious for a long time, haven't you?" ”

It's just that I thought I was hiding it well.
