The next morning, Ling Aotian got up very early. He was eager to return home. He originally wanted to leave, but he remembered that Gao Ruolan's feet hurt and it was inconvenient to walk. If he left, she would starve again, so he went to give Gao Ruolan
He bought the food and ate it with her before going out.
Gao Ruolan's foot had already healed, but she insisted on pretending to be uncomfortable and clinging to Ling Aotian, and there was nothing he could do about it.
When Ling Aotian returned home, Sun Hongmei saw him and looked strange: "What's wrong with you? Why don't you come back together? One first and the other last..."
Ling Aotian cut off his mother's words: "Mom! Xiaoya... uh, where is Liu Ya'er?"
"What did you do? Liu Ya'er didn't come back with her when she came back. She walked on the front foot and you came back on the back foot..."
Ling Aotian's heart sank again, and he stopped as he was about to walk in: "Mom, did you say Liu Ya'er left?"
"Let's go, we'll leave after breakfast!"
"Where...has she gone?"
"Where else can I go? I'm going back to your place. You didn't say you would come back today, otherwise she would be waiting for you. You too, why didn't you call her to tell her that you were coming back?"
When Ling Aotian called last night, Sun Hongmei was already asleep. He called Liu Xiaoya's room directly, so his mother didn't know.
But Ling Aotian couldn't tell the truth to his mother. If her mother knew that Liu Xiaoya had run away from home, she would definitely ask what happened, and then all the things he had done about beating Liu Xiaoya would be exposed.
Her mother would definitely tell her father in anger. Ling Aotian shuddered when he thought of his father's angry appearance!
But what his mother said confirmed that Liu Xiaoya was indeed avoiding him!
He called last night and specifically told her not to go out today. He came back to pick her up, but she left before he got home. Wasn't this an intentional attempt to avoid him?
After teasing the child for a while, Ling Aotian imagined Liu Xiaoya holding the child. She must be smiling.
The child was a little unfamiliar with him and ignored him. Ling Aotian stayed bored for a while, feeling very anxious, so he said goodbye to his mother and hurried back. He thought, Liu Xiaoya should have gone back!
Even if she was angry with him, her anger should have dissipated after so many days!
When he got home, Ling Aotian didn't honk the horn. He got out of the car and opened the door himself. He didn't rush to drive in. He rushed in first and searched upstairs and downstairs, but there was no sign of Liu Xiaoya.
Gao Ruolan saw Ling Aotian hurriedly push open this room to look at it, and then pushed away that room to look at it. She followed him strangely and asked, "Brother Aotian, what are you looking for?"
He asked without looking back: "Has Xiaoya come back?"
"Liu Xiaoya?" Gao Ruolan curled her lips: "No!"
"She never came back?"
"No."
Ling Aotian was so panicked that he stood at the door of the living room on the first floor for a long time, then walked out dejectedly and drove in.
During this period of time, Ling Aotian was always feeling very panicked and confused. This was very different from before. When Liu Xiaoya escaped for the first time, although he was a little worried, he was more angry.
In the face of the huge anger, that little worry can almost be ignored.
But this time, there was a kind of fear lingering in his heart. At this time, Ling Aotian was like a child walking alone in the dark night. There was no one everywhere. He was panicked and scared, but he didn't know what he should do.
