But Ning Xiaotong didn't ask, because if she did, the call between them would end there.
"Rin, can you come back tonight?" Ning Xiaotong's feeble voice came from the phone, with a humble plea.
Seeing that there was no answer, Ning Xiaotong continued, "Rin, if you don't love me, I hope to say it from your mouth myself instead of conveying it through others."
"Besides, I have always believed that you love me in your heart."
Even though he had done a good job of covering it up, Huangfu Lin could still hear a bit of vibrato and crying from inside, which made him humble to the point of dust.
My heart ached slightly, but I still couldn't say the cruel words, so I just said, "I'm very busy these days."
Turning his head to look at himself in the mirror, he saw that the bruises on his face had not gone away. He really didn't want to appear like this in front of her and make her even more worried.
Xiaotong felt happy. He didn't refuse directly. Does it mean that he might change his mind?
"So, when are you free?" she asked cautiously.
Huangfu Lin blurted out, "Just these few days."
When she said it, Huangfu Lin was a little annoyed. She still couldn't control her emotions when the person she was facing was her.
But that's okay. Since she wants an answer, then he should give her an answer and make her completely despair of him and give up completely.
"When will you be back? I'll prepare delicious food for you. Also, don't be too tired when you go to work."
Ning Xiaotong was talking here uncomfortably. For a long time, there was no sound. When she lowered her head, she saw that the call had been hung up at some point, and she felt dazed for a moment.
The next second, joy spread. Although the call was hung up, a sense of hope arose in my heart. At least, although I was not sure about the time, I knew he would be back tonight.
Thinking of his coming back, Ning Xiaotong ran downstairs to the kitchen excitedly. Zhao's mother hadn't seen her in such a happy mood for a long time, so she couldn't help but ask.
Ning Xiaotong looked at the remaining ingredients in the refrigerator and replied, "Rin, he's coming back."
Zhao's mother also saw everything that happened these days. After hearing what Ning Xiaotong said, she couldn't help but feel a little happy, just come back.
"Xiaotong, let me help you."
Ning Xiaotong shook her head hastily, "No, Zhao Ma, help me look after my daughter. I have to do it myself these days."
Seeing Ning Xiaotong's insistence, Zhao's mother turned around and went upstairs to see if her daughter was awake.
Ning Xiaotong has been busy in the kitchen all day, carefully taking stock of Huangfu Lin's favorite dishes.
When a table of exquisite dishes was placed on the table, Huangfu Lin showed no sign of coming back.
Mother Zhao looked at Ning Xiaotong who kept yawning, and couldn't help but persuade her, "Xiaotong, you go upstairs and go back to sleep for a while. It's already nine o'clock, and the husband will definitely not come back."
Ning Xiaotong quickly cheered up, "No, Lin promised me that he would come back. I can't sleep there. I have to wait until the moment he comes back."
Mother Zhao looked at the cold dishes on the table and sighed.
It took a whole day just for this moment, and Zhao Ma looked a little distressed.
"Mother Zhao, you can go up and sleep. I'll just stay here alone."
Zhao's mother sighed, shook her head and refused, "No, I'm not sleepy at the moment anyway, so I'll just chat with you."
