Zhan Yiyang was sitting on the sofa in the living room with a copy of Military Times on his lap. Xiao Tianning was playing a game next to him.
While turning the pages of the newspaper, Zhan Yiyang glanced out the window. Darkness had already swallowed up the entire earth.
Yilin said that Xu Rongrong was going to attend a wedding. What kind of wedding would be held until dark and not come back?
However, it's none of his business. How Xu Rongrong wants to play with others, as long as it doesn't affect Tianning, he won't say anything.
Zhan Yiyang continued to read the Times, and time passed slowly. In a blink of an eye, it was past nine o'clock.
Zhan Yiyang looked away from his watch and looked outside the door, but Xu Rongrong was still nowhere to be seen.
She went to attend a wedding with a man named Min. If she hasn't come back at this time, is she planning to... not come back tonight?"
Deep down, I feel a little uncomfortable.
Zhan Yiyang put down the Military Times and looked at Tianning: "Tianning, it's very late, you should go to bed."
"But mom hasn't come back yet." Xiao Tianning continued to tinker with the Rubik's Cube on the drum, "I want to wait until mom comes back before going to bed."
At this time, Zhan Yiyang also forgot one thing. Xu Rongrong is no longer the Zhan family's wife, and she may not return to the Zhan family tonight.
Perhaps because of this more than a month, he, like Tianning, had taken Xu Rongrong's company as a matter of course.
"Mom doesn't know when she will be back." Zhan Yiyang took the Rubik's Cube from Tianning's hand, "Good boy, you go to bed first."
Xiao Tianning tilted his head, and his dark pupils rolled: "Is mom going to come back very late? Mom never comes back very late!"
"Now..." Zhan Yiyang tried his best to let Tianning understand what he meant, "It's different from before. Do you know?" Now, Xu Rongrong already has Min Shiyan.
"What's different?" Xiao Tianning frowned and asked in confusion, "Will mommy come back very late in the future?"
"……perhaps."
This is something that the mother-control absolutely cannot accept, because it means that he can’t even hear his mother’s voice before going to bed, and he asks seriously as if facing a formidable enemy: “Dad, what can I do to get my mother to come back early?
"
"..." Zhan Yiyang pondered for a moment, looked at his son, and slowly uttered two words, "crying."
For the first second, Xiao Tianning looked at Zhan Yiyang in confusion.
The next day, little Tianning's mouth was flat, like a wronged little pet.
In the third second, the little pet's eye sockets were covered with a layer of transparent mist. Soon, the mist condensed into crystal water droplets, which slipped from his eye sockets, dripped down his cheeks, and dripped onto his pants.
"..." Zhan Yiyang was stunned for a moment, and then thought happily: He is indeed his son.
The child from Tianning was really an outstanding child. He soon became more and more involved in the drama. His tears gradually turned into sobs, and his voice was aggrieved: "Dad, I want mommy..."
Zhan Yiyang was also confused. He didn't know whether Tianning was really crying or fake. He hurriedly wiped the tears from his face. After coaxing Tianning for a long time, he didn't stop. He could only find Xu Rongrong's phone number and quickly dialed the number.
go.
No one answered, even three times in a row.
Zhan Yiyang glanced at Tianning. The little guy was crying... more and more realistically. He was really crying.
The only time he couldn't deal with Tianning was when he was crying and looking for his mother. Trying to coax him with his favorite toy had no effect, but Xu Rongrong didn't answer the phone.
While frowning, Zhan Yiyang suddenly remembered that this was Ye Zi'an's cousin's wedding, so... Ji Fanyi would also attend?
Ji Fanyi's call was answered quickly. He asked about the situation and found out that they were still attending the party, so he asked Ji Fanyi to give Xu Rongrong his cell phone.
"Rongrong is outside. I'll take the opportunity to tell you something." Ji Fanyi's tone was hesitant. After all, he couldn't tell that Zhan Yiyang didn't care about Xu Rongrong's affairs.
"Yeah." Zhan Yiyang just responded lightly.
"Did you know that a man has appeared next to Rongrong these days? Min Shiyan."
"..."
"Do you remember that the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of City A is also named Min? Min Shiyan is his eldest son." Ji Fanyi asked tentatively, "Are you talking to Rongrong to keep her away from Min Shiyan? Rongrong is close to such a person.
It will only bring danger to yourself."
"Her matter has nothing to do with me." Zhan Yiyang didn't want to tell Ji Fanyi that Xu Rongrong and Ji Fanyi were already very close, so he just said in a cold voice, "Give her the phone, Tianning cried."
The phone was quickly handed over to Xu Rongrong, and her hurried voice came from the receiver: "Why are Tianning crying?"
"Mom..." Tianning heard Xu Rongrong's voice and cried louder. She came over and asked for Zhan Yiyang's cell phone. Zhan Yiyang gave it to him. He put the phone to his ear and started crying, as if he knew that as long as
Cry louder and mom will come home on time.
"Tian Ning..." Xu Rongrong's voice was full of distress, "Don't cry. Mom will be back soon..." As she said this, she suddenly realized that she could no longer say that she was going home, so she said instead, "Mom will go find you right away, okay?"
good?"
"Mom, where are you?" Xiao Tianning asked while sobbing.
"Mom is still outside." Xu Rongrong said, "I can go back in an hour."
"An hour is too long..." Tianning pursed his lips, "Uncle the driver is driving too slowly. I want dad to pick you up. Dad is super awesome and can drive very fast."
"..." Xu Rongrong was as silent as Zhan Yiyang.
But the Tianning kid was miraculously happy again. He wiped his tears and handed the phone to Zhan Yiyang: "Dad, go pick up mom."
"..."
"I will cry if you don't go!"
"..." Isn't this trick only used against Xu Rongrong?
"Dad..." Tianning cried coquettishly, like a kitten scratching a person's heart. His face was full of tears, as if tears could fall like rain in a minute, and there was absolutely nothing anyone could do to him.
Zhan Yiyang weakly compromised, "Okay, I'll go." He put the phone to his ear, and when he was about to ask Xu Rongrong which hotel he was in, Xu Rongrong said, "No, you coax Tianning, I'll go back by myself
Faster."
"..." How should she come back by herself? Take a taxi, or... let the man who came to pick her up drop her off?
Zhan Yiyang didn't want to see Min Shiyan appear at his door again, so he interrupted Xu Rongrong coldly, "I promised Tianning. Where are you?"
"The Century Hotel on XX Road." Xu Rongrong said.
"Wait for me there. I'll call you when I get there."
After saying that, Zhan Yiyang hung up the phone without waiting for Xu Rongrong's answer, left Tianning in the care of her aunt at home, and drove to the hotel.
Zhan Yiyang's driving skills lived up to Tianning's trust. He shuttled nimbly on the road like a dragon, constantly passing cars one after another. He shortened the one-hour drive by half.
When the car stopped outside the Century Hotel, he took out his mobile phone and dialed Xu Rongrong's number. The call was quickly connected, and Xu Rongrong's urgent voice came: "Wait a minute, I'll be down right away."
"Yeah." Zhan Yiyang hung up the phone, lowered the window, and stared at the hotel door with deep and unreadable eyes.
In less than three minutes, she saw Xu Rongrong coming out in a hurry, followed by Min Shiyan.
At this moment, Zhan Yiyang's eyes narrowed slightly.
It's not because Xu Rongrong and Min Shiyan came out together, but... Xu Rongrong was dressed like this again. It's not an exaggeration to say that he was dressed up.
Is she planning to dress like this every time she goes to see Min Shiyan?
Zhan Yiyang didn't realize it himself. At this moment, his eyes were like the sky covered by layers of dark clouds. It was gloomy and gloomy, with a storm about to come, which was particularly scary.
Xu Rongrong and Min Shiyan quickly walked to Zhan Yiyang's car. Xu Rongrong stopped and waved to Min Shiyan: "Goodbye."
Min Shiyan waved his hand, "See you next time." He raised the corners of his lips, "Don't forget that thing." He deliberately said words to Xu Rongrong that only the other party could understand, and played a riddle to Zhan Yiyang.
Xu Rongrong is a grateful person and will not easily forget those who have helped him, so he unintentionally cooperated with Min Shiyan, smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't forget."
After saying that, Xu Rongrong opened the passenger door, got in the car, fastened his seat belt, and Zhan Yiyang started the car without saying a word.
Xu Rongrong was frightened by the sudden movement and gasped. He subconsciously looked at Zhan Yiyang and saw his cold silhouette as if wrapped in ice. He was confused - he seemed to be angry? What was he angry about?
After thinking for a long time, Xu Rongrong only thought of one possibility.
"The party was very noisy just now. I didn't hear the phone ringing and missed your call. I didn't mean to." Her voice was full of apology.
Zhan Yiyang turned his head and glanced at Xu Rongrong, and said in a neutral tone, "It seems you had a great time."
"..." Hey, is he angry or not?
In the car, there was silence for a while, only the ignorant car was moving forward rapidly.
At this time, neither Zhan Yiyang nor Xu Rongrong noticed that there was a sports car parked in the parking lot of Century Hotel, and the woman in the car was looking coldly at the direction in which their car disappeared.
The woman is Pin Ruiyun.
She was just a little bit short of being discovered. Fortunately, she saw Xu Rongrong and Min Shiyan coming out when they were about to get off the bus.
But she didn't expect that Zhan Yiyang would come to pick up Xu Rongrong.
Didn’t you forget about Xu Rongrong? Didn’t you subconsciously feel that she was not important and hate her? Why did you drive to pick her up so late?
After receiving Xu Rongrong, where will they go next in such a late night?
The more he thought about it, the lower the temperature in Pin Ruiyun's eyes became. His hands gradually tightened on the steering wheel, and his knuckles protruded fiercely...
"Dear, what's wrong?" At this time, a man's hand touched the hand that Pin Ruiyun was holding tightly, stroking it gently, "Why don't we go in?"
Pin Ruiyun glanced at the bright and luxurious hotel outside and stepped on the accelerator: "Let's change places." Xu Rongrong appeared here in a dress. Maybe he was attending some banquet party. There was no guarantee that there would be no one who knew Zhan Yiyang inside.
