Chapter 170 The lifeless home
Until the afternoon of Friday, Wen Yuhang went to Kangqiao School to pick up Xinyan, but did not see Xinyan walking out of the school. Could it be that Yang Shuting picked her up?! Thinking of this, he took out his mobile phone and wanted to call Shuting.
I called the number, but I thought she wouldn't answer it, so I just forgot about it and drove back to Jingdu Garden.
On the way back, Wen Yuhang also went to the market and bought some delicious roast duck and beef offal. After taking the food, he happily took the elevator upstairs. When he reached the eighth floor, he took out his key and opened the door.
When I walked in, I saw no one in the house. It was quiet. The curtains in the living room were also drawn, making the whole house look dark.
He didn't believe that they were not at home, so he put the things on the table, went to the kitchen to look at them, then to the bathroom, then to the bedroom and Xinyan's room.
Empty.
Where will they go? It's already past five o'clock, already six o'clock. He frowned slightly, sat on the sofa, took out his mobile phone and dialed Yang Shuting's mobile phone number.
After ringing for a long time, someone finally answered, but it was not Yang Shuting, but Xinyan.
"Daddy, mommy and I are staying at my grandma and aunt's house. Mommy and I won't be going home for the next two days." Xinyan's clear and loud voice came from the phone, and she said directly.
"Xinyan, why did you and mommy go to Xincheng? Daddy also bought a lot of delicious things! How about I send the things over?" He seemed to be trying to go over to see them.
"Daddy, don't bother me. My aunt knew we were coming and specially made a lot of delicious things for us! I won't say any more. The cartoon I like to watch has already started. That's it, bye!"
Before he could say anything, a busy beep came from the phone. He was stunned for a moment, then took the phone away, put it on the table, and leaned weakly on the sofa.
Without them at home, the home became lifeless, which made his heart become more and more depressed and uncomfortable.
In Huang Xin's apartment in Xincheng, Yang Shuting was cooking dinner in the kitchen. Yang's mother, Zhang Qin, heard that her daughter and granddaughter were coming back for dinner, so she closed the door of the shop early and went home, helping Shu Ting in the kitchen.
"Where's Yuhang? Why didn't Yuhang come?" Zhang Qin asked as he took out a plate from the kitchen cabinet.
Yang Shuting, who was cooking, heard her mother ask her this question again. She had asked her once when she and Xinyan came back here just now. She answered her somewhat vaguely. This made her cooking movements involuntarily
He paused for a moment, then casually found an excuse and said, "He's been busy with work recently! So he doesn't have time to come over."
"Last time he came and sat in my shop. No wonder he looked haggard to me." Zhang Qin really thought that Wen Yuhang was very busy. He came that day and brought some fruits and gifts without saying anything.
But within a few minutes, he left.
Yang Shuting was stunned for a moment. When did he go to her mother's store? How come she didn't know? But that's not the point. The point is that her mother didn't know that they were getting divorced.
You have to know sooner or later. After the matter is resolved, explain it clearly to her to avoid her nagging and worrying.
Yang Shuting changed the topic and told her mother some trivial matters.
The meals have been prepared, and they are all home-cooked dishes, but they are delicious and rich. During dinner, everyone had a good time, talking and laughing. However, there were inevitably some sensitive topics, but Yang Shuting would deal with them easily.
During the two days she stayed at Huang Xin's house, Yang Shuting thought a lot. She felt that divorcing Wen Yuhang was not a bad thing. The problem was that Wen Yuhang was unwilling to divorce.
If he refuses to sign the divorce agreement, then she will still be his wife.
The short two days ended quickly. Yang Shuting originally planned to stay at Huang Xin's house on Sunday night, and send Xinyan to school the next day, while she went to work in the company.
But it wasn't dark yet, probably around 5:30, when Wen Yuhang came.
The call was from Yang Shuting. She was a little surprised and stunned, but she remained calm and only asked softly: "Why are you here?"
Wen Yuhang stared straight at her. Neither mother nor daughter had been at home these two days. The house was deserted. He stayed at home alone at night. He was so bored that he almost panicked and his heart was very anxious. He wanted to drive to Xincheng.
Here, who knows that there is something wrong with the temporary company, and he has to go back to the company to solve it.
"I'm here to take you home." His voice was deep, and he directly stated the purpose of coming here.
Go home? Yang Shuting whispered these two words in her heart, and suddenly she felt so far away.
"Come in!" As if inviting a guest, invite him to come in and sit down.
Wen Yuhang walked in without sitting down. He looked around and didn't see Xinyan or anyone else, so he asked Shu Ting where they had gone.
Shu Ting poured a glass of water and put it on the coffee table. She straightened up and looked at him. There was no wave in her eyes. She said with a single expression: "They are resting in the room. They went to the Pearl Plaza for a day of fun yesterday."
Yesterday, she didn't go. It was Huang Xin who accompanied Xinyan. She stayed alone and sat on the sofa in the living room for a long time, thinking about many things.
Meeting her eyes, Wen Yuhang only felt cold. In the past, his eyes were a little soft, but now there was nothing there, only a layer of indifference.
"Oh, really?" He smiled calmly.
Taking a closer look, Yang Shuting found that the thin stubble that had grown on him before had been shaved clean. He looked refreshed, but his eyes looked a little tired.
He slowly removed his eyes and simply arranged the pillows on the sofa. Seeing that he was still standing there, he stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture to tell him to sit down.
Then she went back to her room to pack her things. When she came, she didn't bring anything at all, just her handbag and Xinyan's schoolbag. She was afraid of bumping into Wen Yuhang, so she picked up Xinyan at school and took a taxi there.
Xincheng. When I arrived in Xincheng, I bought some fruits and other things at a supermarket not far away.
In fact, when she moved to Jingdu Garden, she did not move all her things there, but left some here. She vaguely knew that she would come back, and at that time there were already conflicts between them.
The reason why she agreed to move to Jingdu was because of someone's entanglement and she wanted to get rid of him. She just did this, but she didn't expect that things would get to this point.
After thinking about it, Yang Shuting couldn't help but sigh.
I didn’t want to think so much anymore, it would only add more trouble to myself. No matter how much I didn’t want to go back to Jingdu, it was still a home after all. I took my things and walked out of the room.
Wen Yuhang, who was sitting on the sofa and had just raised his water glass to drink, saw Shu Ting bringing something out and immediately put down the glass. When he came to Xincheng, he thought he would be rejected. During those two days, he was very distressed and heartbroken.
I was bored, wondering if Shu Ting would never come back this time, forcing him to sign the divorce agreement in this way? But now it seems that he is thinking too much, and Shu Ting will still go home.
"I'm going to wake up Xinyan!" Yang Shuting put the things on the sofa, said softly, turned around and walked towards Huang Xin's room.
"No, let her sleep a little longer. When she wakes up, it's not too late for us to go back!" Wen Yuhang raised his hand, but put it down and stopped him softly.
He is a little selfish and needs more space between them, but this space seems a bit awkward at this time.
Maybe she heard some noise. Xinyan, who was resting in the room, slowly opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling hazily. After listening carefully, she vaguely heard her father's voice coming from outside the door. She suddenly
I sat up, got out of bed, opened the door, and came to the living room to see my daddy. He grinned brightly, like a cute sunflower, and shouted in a voice like a bell: "Daddy, come here."
La!"
When Wen Yuhang heard his daughter's melodious voice, he turned his head to look and laughed too. He opened his hands and said with a smile: "Yes!"
But what surprised and disappointed him was that his daughter did not throw herself into his arms as expected. Instead, she walked next to Shu Ting and stood close to her. Her eyes were as bright as the twinkling stars at night, looking at him. She was brilliant.
The smile turns into a smile.
This made Wen Yuhang a little embarrassed. The smile on his face froze involuntarily. He put away his hand and looked at Xinyan lovingly. He reached out and touched her head. To his relief, she did not move away.
Yang Shuting put her hands on Xinyan's shoulders. The reason why she didn't fall into Yuhang's arms was because she had a grudge in her heart and didn't have the kind of father-daughter love she had in the past. During this period, whenever she went to bed at night, she would always ask the same question.
The question is, daddy is not my real daddy, so who is my real daddy? Grandma always said that I am a little bastard, am I really a little bastard? At that time, her heart was broken.
The family she originally built for her was good, but suddenly, she suffered all kinds of blows and injuries.
"Daddy is here to take you home today." Wen Yuhang said softly, "Does Xinyan miss going home these two days?"
"I used to miss her so much, but now I don't think so much. Being at home will only make me miss my aunt and grandma's home even more." The smile on that beautiful face has disappeared, and his eyes gradually become gloomy, a little sad.
These words made Wen Yuhang not know what to say, his brows furrowed slightly, and he felt a little sad.
It was his failure to give them the feeling of home, the warmth of home, the taste of home, and the joy of home, that made them feel infinite fear and fear, and they felt very guilty.
"Xinyan, please go to the bathroom to wash your face first, and then change your clothes." Yang Shuting noticed that the swirling atmosphere in the air had become uncomfortable, so she spoke to Xinyan to calm down the atmosphere.
Xinyan said "hmm" softly, turned around and walked into the bathroom.
Yang Shuting looked at Xinyan's thin back. What she said just now was not wrong. She said what she wanted to say in her heart. She just didn't know how long Yuhang would persist. She didn't know what the meaning of his persistence was. It would only make people angry.
None of the three were happy, so there was nothing wrong with giving in.
There were only two of them left in the living room, and no one spoke. It was so quiet that only the ticking of the alarm clock hanging on the wall could be heard.
