Not only You Tong was surprised, Li Hongtao and Zhao Wanhua were also surprised. For a while, the ward fell into a strange atmosphere.
After a while, the first person to react was Li Hongtao. Even though he was ill, he was still a man who had experienced ups and downs in the mall all his life. He was silent, glanced at Zhao Wanhua, and said in a deep voice, "Wanhua,
You and Xiaotong go out for a while, I have something to say to Yuanhang alone."
"Oh, okay." Zhao Wanhua recovered, but the expression on her face was not relaxed.
You Tong stiffened and followed Zhao Wanhua out of the ward in a daze.
In the corridor, Zhao Wanhua frowned and asked You Tong, "Xiaotong, what's going on? You and Yuanhang..."
"No!" Before Zhao Wanhua could finish her words, You Tong strongly denied it. Although she felt it was baffling, she had to make it clear, "Mom, I don't know what happened. He just said you wanted to see him.
I, I’m here, I don’t know his purpose, what is going on?!”
Zhao Wanhua sighed softly, "That's it, your Uncle Li is going to have an operation tomorrow. He was afraid that something might happen to him, so he asked Yuanhang to bring the person he liked to see him, but he didn't expect that he would bring you here.
Got it!"
You Tong frowned slightly, what on earth is Li Yuanhang doing?! He likes her?! How is that possible?!
"Xiaotong, mother knows that you are an obedient child, and you will not lie to mother. Is there really nothing between you and Yuanhang?!" Zhao Wanhua asked again, wanting to find out what happened.
"Really not!" You Tong held Zhao Wanhua's hand firmly and solemnly promised, "Mom, he and I have nothing to do with each other!"
Zhao Wanhua nodded. She understood Xiaotong's character and she would not lie to her, especially about this kind of thing. Moreover, whether a girl likes a man or not can be seen in her eyes.
"Xiaotong, mom believes in you, so I'm relieved. But I also understand Yuanhang's character. He doesn't seem to be joking. I think... he really likes you." Zhao Wanhua's tone was a little worried.
.
You Tong quickly comforted her and said, "Mom, don't worry, this may be a misunderstanding. Maybe Uncle Li's illness forced Li Yuanhang to find a girl to deal with it. He just asked me to act. Besides..."
After a pause, his tone became decisive and resolute, "I don't like him."
When Zhao Wanhua heard what she said, she felt that it made some sense, "That's right, Yuanhang doesn't have any girls around him. Maybe he just wants to comfort his father, but... I can't say for sure about this relationship, Xiaotong, we don't have time now.
It's early, you should go back as soon as possible. Before the voyage is out, you should leave quickly to avoid any trouble again."
"Okay, I'll leave now." You Tong didn't want to stay and help with the Li family's housework, but she was a little reluctant to leave her mother. She was going to Guangzhou to take the exam the day after tomorrow. Before leaving, she really hoped that her mother would give her a few words of advice.
Even just saying "Take the exam well and don't be nervous" is fine.
Holding Zhao Wanhua's hand, he hesitated and did not let go.
Zhao Wanhua failed to notice her thoughts, patted her hand gently and urged, "Okay, Xiaotong, stop dawdling, let's go quickly."
You Tong said "hmm", slowly let go of Zhao Wanhua's hand, and said softly, "Goodbye, mom."
Turning around, the corners of his eyes suddenly felt hot.
She is so stupid. The Li family is in such chaos. How could her mother still think of her? She should have understood a long time ago that she should not return to Hauge's home tonight, let alone follow Li Yuanhang here.
She walked quickly to the elevator and pressed the button, but the elevator didn't come. She couldn't wait any longer, so she immediately ran to the stairs, rushed downstairs in one breath, and then raised her hand to stop a taxi, "Master, drive!"
The moment he spoke, tears fell down unsatisfactorily.
At this time, I suddenly wanted to ask someone for a hug, just a gentle hug would be enough.
After taking the car back to Jinling Century, she opened the door and was greeted by a dark room.
Suddenly, all the strength in my body was gone, and I felt as if I was vulnerable. I changed my shoes and fell directly onto the sofa without changing my clothes. I picked up a pillow and buried my face in it. I didn't know when I fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, she fell asleep in a daze, and she felt someone approaching her. She suddenly opened her eyes and saw a familiar handsome face. It must be a dream. If it was a dream, she hoped she would not wake up.
Subconsciously, she reached out and hugged him, snuggled softly into his arms and fell asleep again.
Rong Yuchi was slightly startled. He drove back from Tainan all night, but he didn't want to see this woman sleeping on the sofa as soon as he entered the door. She hadn't changed her clothes. She was curled up in a ball, holding the pillow tightly in her hand, as if
That was her only salvation, as pitiful and helpless as the little match seller hugging the last box of matches, as insecure.
After a long time of effort, he replaced the pillow with his own body, carried her from the sofa back to the big bed in the master bedroom, and laid her down. Now that there was no cover from the pillow, he could see her face.
tear stains on.
I couldn't help but feel a little suspicious, why are you crying?!
He was completely puzzled, but as he stared at her child-like innocent sleeping face, he suddenly felt a palpitation in his heart, which made him feel a desire to pity her and protect her.
He pulled up the quilt to cover her petite and frail body, then leaned down and pressed a gentle kiss on her forehead.

The morning sunlight playfully slipped through the cracks in the curtains and shone into the spacious and comfortable bedroom. The bulging quilt moved slightly, revealing a beautiful face sleeping soundly.
You Tong snorted, slowly opened his eyes, blinked his sleepy eyes, and felt his eyes were sore.
Subconsciously, I wanted to raise my arms to rub my eyes, but suddenly I found that my arms couldn't move, as if they were being hugged tightly. Suddenly, my whole body shook violently.
Her eyes widened, and she soon discovered that the furnishings in front of her were different from those in the living room. She clearly slept on the sofa last night, when did she go back to the bedroom?!
"No way?!" As if he didn't quite believe it, he slowly turned his head and looked to his side.
