Chapter 222 Missing Each Other + Taking the Girl Home
Chapter 222 Missing Each Other + Taking the Girl Home
At night in a villa halfway up the mountain, He Lingting sat alone in the study. He had no work to do today, but he just didn't want to go back to his room because the little girl was not there and he couldn't sleep if he went back, so he might as well sit in the study for a while!
When it was midnight and everyone was asleep, he missed the little girl even more. Was it really his fault? When He Lingting thought of the little girl's slightly red eyes when she got off the car, he felt so distressed.
Why did I treat her so harshly at that time? The little girl must have been scared. He Lingting regretted it a little at this time, but he was powerless. He couldn't let the little girl sleep peacefully in the middle of the night! Oh! Let's talk about it tomorrow! He got up and went back to the room, lying on the little girl's pillow. He didn't know when he fell asleep.
On the other side, in Xiaomai's little nest, Xi Yan chatted with Xiaomai. As they chatted, Xi Yan finally couldn't stand it anymore and fell asleep, but Xiaomai stared at the ceiling and couldn't fall asleep.
When the night was quiet, Xiaomai missed the uncle very much. This was the first time they had quarreled since they got together. Maybe she was wrong. Just as Xi Yan said, the uncle was so unkind because he was worried about her. She should listen to his opinions more!
What should I do now? I couldn’t sleep and wanted to snuggle into the uncle’s arms, but he was too mean. I had been gone for a long time, but he was so careless about me. Thinking about it, Xiaomai got angry again, and she actually fell asleep while she was angry.
The next morning, Xiaomai thought that if the uncle could call her today, she would go home with him. However, she waited and waited, but the uncle did not call. Xiaomai felt a little upset. Did the uncle not love her anymore? The more she thought about it, the more depressed she became.
When Xi Yan woke up in the morning, she saw Xiaomai was listless, so she asked with concern: "What's wrong? Xiaomai, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Xiaomai shook her head and said, "It's okay, maybe I didn't sleep well last night!"
"Oh, I get it. You miss your uncle, right? Weren't you very stubborn yesterday? Isn't your uncle so unreasonable and unkind? Why do you still suffer from insomnia without him?" Xi Yan slapped her and mocked her.
Xiaomai blushed and said, "Who said I couldn't sleep because I missed him?"
"Who are you thinking about then?" Xi Yan came over and asked slyly.
"You, who said you have to miss someone when you didn't sleep well?" Xiaomai was so annoyed by Xi Yan that he yelled at her.
"If you didn't think about it, then you didn't think about it! Why are you yelling? People who don't know would think you are guilty of a crime." Xi Yan said while picking his ears with a smile.
"You, I won't talk to you anymore, go wash up." Xiaomai knew that Xiyan was teasing her because she was unhappy. Don't say it, after Yanyan's nonsense, Xiaomai's mood did improve a lot.
Xiaomai finished washing up and asked Xiyan: "Yanyan, do you have anything to do today?"
"No!"
"Then do you need to accompany Xu Chen?" Xiaomai felt very embarrassed. Yanyan finally had a weekend off, but she occupied it. Xu Chen would definitely not be happy.
"He's on vacation these days and is at home every day, so one or two days won't make a difference." Xi Yan saw Xiaomai's concerns.
"That's good, thank you! Yanyan." Xiaomai said with relief.
"Saying thank you to me means you don't consider me your own." After Xi Yan finished speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled.
"Where are we going today? We can't just stay at home all day, right?" Xi Yan asked.
"How about we go shopping? We didn't go shopping yesterday, so we can make up for it today." Xiaomai suggested.
"I think it's okay. Let's go!"
So the two of them carried their bags and headed towards the mall.
"Xiaomi, did He Lingting give you a card? If he makes you angry, you will max out his card."
"I don't want to. As long as we are together happily, I can spend as much as I want. But if he doesn't love me anymore, I won't spend a penny of his money. This way, we can break up cleanly in the future." When Xiaomai mentioned He Lingting, her face fell again.
"You're right. We don't spend his money. It's all my fault. I mentioned that bastard and made you unhappy."
"Who are you calling a bastard?" Xiaomai glared at Xi Yan.
"Okay, I'll seal my mouth from now on. You're too difficult to serve." After Xi Yan said this, he closed his lips and made a zipper motion, which made Xiaomai laugh.
After laughing, Xi Yan pulled Xiaomai into the mall. They went from store to store and when they saw something they liked, they bought it without hesitation. After a morning passed, they had made a lot of gains!
Near noon, the two found a hot pot restaurant and ate and chatted. Xi Yan asked curiously, "Xiaomi! Does your company pay very well?"
“It’s quite high.”
"No wonder you spend money so recklessly."
"Oh, that's the money my brother gave me. I never spend it, so he must be angry."
"Brother?" Xi Yan was very surprised. When did Xiaomai have a brother? Could it be that she had fallen in love with someone else?
Xiaomai then remembered that he had not told Yanyan about finding his relatives. He wanted to tell her last time, but Yanyan happened to get into trouble so he put it aside. Now he told Yanyan everything in detail. After being shocked, Xiyan was happy for Xiaomai.
After lunch, Xiaomai didn't want to go home because she would start to have random thoughts whenever she had free time. Half a day passed and the uncle still didn't look for her, and she became more and more anxious.
Xi Yan saw Xiaomai's fear, so she secretly called Xu Chen and asked him to find He Lingting and tell him about Xiaomai's situation.
Xu Chen lived up to his expectations and called He Lingting, "Cousin, what are you busy with?"
"If you have something to say, just say it."
"You really don't care about your sister-in-law? She monopolizes Yanyan every day. Do you think that's okay?"
"Who said I don't care about her?"
"I heard from Yanyan that she was very sad all day and even shed tears occasionally. You didn't even call her from yesterday until now. She was scared." Xu Chen added fuel to the fire.
He Liting felt heartbroken after hearing this. He thought that he would wait until he found out everything about Lin Hao before picking up the little girl and taking her home, so as to avoid any quarrels due to disagreements and hurt feelings between the two.
After hearing what Xu Chen said, He Liting changed his mind and decided to take his wife home right away. "I got it." He hung up the phone directly after he said that.
He Lingting drove straight to Xiaomai's nest. Along the way, he kept thinking about the little girl crying and being unhappy. His heart ached so much, and it was all his fault.
He Lingting's thoughts were on the little girl when his cell phone rang. He picked it up and said, "Hello."
"Master, it's me. I found it." Ada's voice came.
"explain."
"Lin Hao studied at the same university as you. He was rejected by you when he confessed his love to you, and was secretly filmed by his classmates. He became a laughing stock on the school forum. I found the video from more than ten years ago. He blamed you for the mistake. Now he wants revenge!"
"He confessed to me?"
"Yes, he has a problem with his sexual orientation, and he is mentally ill! Knowing that you are not interested in women, he thought that I am the same as him, so..."
"Keep the evidence."
"Yes, sir. The glass at the place where the young lady got into trouble was damaged by someone. Someone deliberately smashed it at the young lady. I think it has something to do with Lin Hao!"
"Well, keep the evidence and give it to me tomorrow."
"Okay, Master."
Not long after hanging up the phone, He Lingting went downstairs, parked the car, went upstairs and knocked on the door. No one was at home, so he went back to the car and leaned against it waiting for the little girl to come back.
Xiaomai and Xiyan came back carrying things. Xiyan left first after receiving a call from Xu Chen. Xiaomai walked back dejectedly.
He Lingting looked at the unhappy look of the little girl, and his heart ached again. He hurried over and hugged Xiaomai, "Baby, I'm sorry, your husband was wrong. I'm here to take you home."
Xiaomai was hugged and dropped the things in her hands. She was about to break free, but when she heard the uncle's words, she relaxed instantly and burst into tears: "Wow, uncle, I thought you didn't want me anymore. I'm scared. Let's stop arguing, okay?"
He Lingting hugged the little girl distressedly, lowered his head and kissed her for a long time before saying, "Okay, no more quarreling, it's all my husband's fault, let's go home, okay?"
"Yeah." Xiaomai nodded, picked up her things and went home with He Lingting...
