"..." Cheng Nuo didn't answer immediately. He thought for a moment that he was a friend who had helped him, so it didn't matter if he gave him his phone number.
"Well, give me your mobile phone." Cheng Nuo said with a smile.
Taking Si Liheng's cell phone, Cheng Nuo saved his number in it, returned the phone, said goodbye, and got off the car.
Back at the leisure bar, Cheng Nuo was sitting in the office, trying to get busy with some work, but his mind couldn't calm down. All he could think about was He Zikai's figure, and his... attitude towards him at the meeting.
Helpless, Cheng Nuo could only sit in front of his desk in a daze, lost in his own thoughts.
It wasn't until the phone rang that Cheng Nuo came back to his senses. He took the phone and saw that it was his daughter's phone number.
"Xiao Mei..." Cheng Nuo answered the phone.
"Cheng Xiaonuo, where are you? I'm going home with sister Bai Jing now. Are you at home?" A childlike voice came from the phone.
"I'm not here, I'm relaxing." Cheng Nuo answered his daughter.
"Hey, didn't you say that you and Dad are going to the engagement party? Why are you relaxing at the bar? Where is Dad?" There are a lot of questions in the little man's mind.
"Your dad is not here, he...is busy with something." Cheng Nuo thought about it, said this, and only answered his daughter's last question.
"Okay," He Xiaomei didn't care about Dad going to work alone. She thought about it and then said, "Let's do this, Cheng Xiaonuo, I'll let Sister Bai Jing drive to the leisure bar, and then I'll
Let’s play in the lounge for a while, and we’ll go home together when you get off work.”
I had a great time at the amusement park today. Because I was in a good mood, I wanted to see Dad and Mommy. I missed them so much, but Dad was busy, so I had to pester Mommy.
"Well, then tell Sister Bai Jing and I will wait for you at the door of the lounge in a minute," Cheng Nuo said.
Chatting and communicating with my daughter made me feel much better.
"Okay, okay, then you have to wait for me." He Xiaomei said happily.
"Um……"
After hanging up the phone, Cheng Nuo put the phone aside. His mind was filled with images of He Zikai and his daughter.
He doesn't want himself anymore, he doesn't love himself anymore. He used to call himself Nuoer, but today... he just calls himself Cheng Nuo.
His eyes gradually became moist, and Cheng Nuo felt very painful in his heart.
My daughter is my hope and has always been. Regardless of my relationship with him, I will give all my love to my daughter to love her and protect her.
He Xiaomei and Bai Jing arrived very quickly. Bai Jing parked the car in front of the lounge bar. He Xiaomei opened the car door and slipped out of the car, and saw her mother.
"Cheng Xiaonuo, Cheng Xiaonuo." He Xiaomei shouted and ran towards mommy.
"Xiao Mei." Cheng Nuo's heart warmed up when he saw his daughter. He knelt down, waited for her daughter to run over, and held her in his arms.
He Xiaomei hid in her mother's arms, kissing her face non-stop with her little mouth.
Cheng Nuo was very happy. With her daughter by her side, it felt like her whole world was full.
"Cheng Xiaonuo, I want to drink a glass of juice. It's almost time to get off work after drinking the juice. Can we go home?" He Xiaomei said.
"Okay," Cheng Nuo answered his daughter, then stood up and took her hand and walked towards the lounge bar.
…
At around five o'clock in the afternoon, Bai Jing drove home with his wife and little princess.
He Xiaomei was held by her mother's hand and walked towards the villa. Her eyes looked at her mother from time to time, as if she was thinking about something.
Mummy seemed to be different from usual, there was no smile on her face, and she rarely spoke on the way back. When she asked her where Daddy had been and when he would be back, Mummy just said she didn't know.
Could it be that mommy and dad had a fight?
During dinner, Cheng Nuo accompanied his daughter to eat in the restaurant. Cheng Nuo just fed his daughter quietly without saying a word.
He Xiaomei ate the food, keeping her eyes on Mommy. She wanted to ask Mommy several times if she really quarreled with Dad, but she didn't have the courage to ask.
After dinner, Cheng Nuo took a bath with his daughter, and then sat by the bed to sleep with her as usual.
"Mommy." He Xiaomei suddenly called out affectionately.
"Well, what's wrong?" Cheng Nuo asked his daughter. Every time her daughter called her mommy, it was when her daughter spoke seriously.
"I want to sleep with you tonight." He Xiaomei opened her eyes and said to her mother seriously.
Looking at his daughter's appearance, Cheng Nuo thought, He Zikai wouldn't be back tonight, so there was nothing wrong with sleeping with his daughter.
And even if he comes back, because of what happened during the day, I might not be in the same room with him, right?
"Okay, then mommy, go back to the room and change clothes, and come over to sleep with you." Cheng Nuo promised his daughter.
"Yeah, yeah!" He Xiaomei said happily.
Cheng Nuo went back to the master bedroom and changed into pajamas, then returned to his daughter's room.
The mother and daughter were lying on their daughter's bed, which was not too small. Cheng Nuo held her daughter tightly in his arms. This feeling was like returning to the way they lived in Ottawa before.
He only has his daughter by his side, and her daughter is everything to him.
"Mommy, daddy... won't be back tonight?" He Xiaomei stayed in mommy's arms and stuck her little head out and asked.
"Well, maybe... I won't come back." Cheng Nuo said, not looking at his daughter, but staring at a certain place in front of him, looking very dazed.
He no longer wants himself and doesn't love himself, so how could he come back?
If he is tired of himself and this home, he can spend the night outside.
"Mommy..." He Xiaomei felt sad when she saw her mommy like this. When she was about to say that she would give her dad a call, she was interrupted by her mommy before she could say anything.
"Xiaomei, go to sleep. Mommy is a little tired. Let's sleep together, okay?" Cheng Nuo said softly to his daughter, and then looked at her.
I am indeed tired, my heart is tired, I am really tired.
I love him so much, love him very much, but now...he doesn't love himself anymore, and his world seems to have suddenly collapsed.
His eyes, his words, and his manner of speaking have always been clearly lingering in his mind.
"Well, good night, Mommy..." He Xiaomei was very sensible and knew that Mommy was in a bad mood and she was tired, so she went to bed early.
"Good night." After Cheng Nuo said this, he pressed a kiss on his daughter's forehead. After seeing his daughter close her eyes and fall asleep, he closed his eyes and went to sleep.
…
At this time, He Zikai and Song Jingye met at the entrance of a large hospital under He Yi's banner. The two of them had been looking for a long time, and both of them looked tired and impatient.
Guan Wei and An Lin, each with a few brothers, were standing not far away, waiting for instructions from their two superiors.
"Where could she be?" Song Jingye looked distressed and had the urge to cry. (To be continued)
