C104 (1/2)
Lady Xu wore the clothes she wore at home. The clothes looked like they had been worn for many years. They were very neat and clean. It was just that they had a sense of time.
In the past, when she was working, she really couldn't bear to buy clothes for herself. Since the salary had been handed over to his mother, the rest of the money could only be spent on eating outside. Every time she went to buy clothes, she would pick herself up and check if there were any activities.
Over a long period of time, his and Mei Juan's clothes were almost the same. He was wearing this one the last time he went to a square. When they had their anniversary, they bought it for one gift and one gift.
Putting her hands in her pockets, Lady Xu leisurely walked around. She didn't look around, she just looked around. Suddenly, a familiar figure entered his eyes. Lady Xu did not dare to meet him and quickly took a detour, looking at his back from afar.
Mo Lingche … What are you doing here?
This was the place where the two of them used to hang out when they were together. At that time, the two of them were so innocent and so cute. Other men and women would go to the movies, eat candlelight dinner, and then go to a hotel. However, the two of them had never been like this before. Most of the time, they would just take a walk in the park or go out for a stroll and then buy some gadgets.
Holding hands was already the most fearful thing the two of them had ever done. When Su Chen thought back to it now, he couldn't help but think that Mo Lingche was simply too cute.
He had originally thought that he would live with this man for the rest of his life.
The heavens didn't give in to one's wishes. After all, the two of them were fated to be together. Whenever he thought of Mo Lingche's extreme grief, he felt as if his heart had been dug out. He had let down Mo Lingche, but he didn't know how to compensate Mo Lingche. He could only hide in a corner like a deserter.
After noticing Mo Lingche, Lady Xu's gaze was fixated on him, not willing to miss a single bit of his back. Time slowly passed. Some of the aunties stopped dancing. One after another, some of them stopped and walked towards their homes.
As for Mo Lingche, he was still sitting outside, like a kid. He was also like a boy who couldn't find his way home. Lady Xu cried from the sadness in her heart. She only felt an unquenchable deep sense of guilt towards Mo Lingche.
She had let him down. She had truly let him down.
With tears blurring his vision, Mo Lingche had disappeared. Only then did Lady Xu slowly walk back home. At night, she could not sleep. There were too many things that made her unable to sleep. The moment she closed her eyes, she could not bear to let go of those people's matters one by one.
After tossing and turning for a long time, he finally started to fall asleep.
After staying at home for the third day, Lady Xu was puzzled. Why hasn't Leng Lie come to find her? Could it be that Leng Lie was still angry and did not want to care about her life or death? She didn't care where she went.
During this period of time at home, his sister's fingers were untouched by the sun and spring water. He swept the floor, cooked, washed the dishes, washed the clothes. mop up the floor, move things … He did all the work himself.
Lady Xu's fingers were thicker than before. Even so, she could only bear with it silently.
As he was washing his clothes, he suddenly thought of Leng Lie's face. In just a flash, Lady Xu was already surprised. Why did he have to think of Leng Lie now? Logically speaking, since Leng Lie was so hateful, he really wanted to forget it. However, unintentionally, there was an emotion that filled his heart with longing.
She looked in another direction, her heart filled with panic.
His emotions were constantly changing, and sometimes, he was unable to see through himself. What's going on... He only hoped that Leng Lie would find him?
”Snap …”
A sound came from outside the door, and Xu Qiujia thought it was Xu Nana who had gone out to play early in the morning, so she said, ”Didn't you take your key out with you?”
Her hands were now wet with foam. How could she open the door for her? Since he had the key, he opened the door and entered.
”Snap.”
The knocking sound came again. Lady Xu was on the verge of breaking down. ”Coming, coming.”
She rinsed her hands and trotted to open the door.
The moment the door was opened, Lady Xu was dumbfounded. Her eyes were as still as a wooden chicken as she stared at the man before her.
”Cold …”
Lady Xu spoke several times but did not say a word.
The man was dressed in a suit and was as straight as a pine tree. He had a face the color of wheat, with a sharp angle. He seemed to be angry, staring at Lady Xu with a pair of black eyes, not giving her any chance to dodge. ”Xu Jia wanted to cry but had no tears. She could only walk up to him and meet his cold eyes.
”You're here …”
”Yes.”
”Lady Xu, if you don't greet me the next time, I will definitely break your legs the moment I see you again.”
Leng Lie pushed Lady Xu straight into the room and shut the door with a bang. Hearing such a loud noise, his father in the room didn't know what to say.
It was a pity that the sound was too soft, like the sound of a mosquito. People outside could not hear it at all. Leng Lie's face was ashen, and the expression in his eyes darkened. He held Lady Xu's hand tightly, unwilling to let go.
Lady Xu struggled and said softly, ”Leng Lie, my father is still inside. Please don't do anything that would make my father feel sad or say something that would make my father feel sad. ”I'm begging you …”
