Jian Han vomited all over the place. The tears in her eyes gushed out. At this moment, she heard the man speak coldly and mockingly behind her. “Jian Han, you just hate me so much that you are vomiting after a moment’s touch.”
Jian Han did not reply. She did not have any strength to reply. She was tortured by him just now, and now, she felt her head spin and her vision blur.
A gentle breeze blew over, and he left.
Jian Han weakly collapsed onto the long bench by her side. There was the taste of her own tears in her mouth, and it tasted so bitter.
She closed her eyes lightly, and allowed herself to shed all of her tears.
She’s known him for so many years. She’s loved him for so many years. He would probably never find out, no matter whether it was six years ago or six years later, she never betrayed him at all.
The next morning, Ning Qing went to knock on Jian Han’s door. The room was empty, and Jian Han had already left.
Yue Wanqing could not help but be worried. “Qingqing, when did Doctor Jian leave? How did she leave? It is so dangerous for a girl like her to go on the road all alone. Give her a call quickly.”
“Okay.” Ning Qing was also worried. When she was about to sleep last night, Older Sister Jian had a peaceful expression on her face as she told her “Good night.” She did not think that she would leave without bidding farewell this morning.
Ning Qing made the call, but no one answered.
At this moment, Lu Shaoming walked over and said, “Mum, Ning Qing, Dayuan has also left.”
“What? Then did they leave together?” Yue Wanqing asked.
Lu Shaoming shook his head. “I asked someone else. No. Dayuan drove back to T City last night. Jian Han left early in the morning. She took the long distance coach.”
Yue Wanqing sighed. Displeased, she said, “What is wrong with those two kids?”
Ning Qing comforted her mother. “Mum, it’s fine. Let us return to T City. After we go back, I will go to Older Sister Jian’s condominium unit to look for her.”
“Oh, okay, let us go back quickly.”
At this moment, “Devotee…” A nun ran over hurriedly. There was a phone in her hands as she said, “Devotee, this phone was left by that Devotee Jian last night when she bought the silver bracelet from me. At that time, I did not check. I only saw it now. I will need to trouble you all to return this item to its owner.”
Ning Qing had a look. It was really Older Sister Jian’s phone. No wonder she could not get through to her. It turned out that Older Sister Jian had lost her phone.
“Thank you, master.” Ning Qing took the phone in her hands, and she thought of something suddenly. “Master, did Older Sister Jian buy the silver bracelet from you yesterday?”
Older Sister Jian did not like to wear accessories normally, so Ning Qing found it weird.
“That’s right.” The nun smiled kindly as she said, “The devotee is pregnant, so she bought the silver bracelet to pray for the child’s safety.”
“What? Pregnant?” Lu Shaoming’s gaze changed. Ning Qing, and Yue Wanqing shouted out at the same time.
The nun nodded her head surely as she said, “That’s right, Devotee Jian is pregnant. Were you all unaware?”
They didn’t know. After the nun left, Ning Qing could not recover from her shock.
Yue Wanqing tugged her daughter’s sleeve quickly as she worriedly said, “Qingqing, why are you still in a daze? Quickly, give a call to Doctor Zhou.”
Lu Shaoming had a calm expression on his face, but his deep and dark eyes had a touch of satisfaction as he said, “Ning Qing, call him quickly. If you continue to be in a daze, Dayuan’s wife and child will be far gone.”
Ning Qing regained her senses. She clumsily fumbled for her phone as she called Zhou Dayuan. This Older Sister Jian, she didn’t even tell Ning Qing that she was pregnant.
She felt the tip of her nose go sour. Maybe she would tear up in the next second. She did not know whether it was because she felt happy for Older Sister Jian, or she felt bad for Older Sister Jian. Older Sister Jian’s face was pale and slim. She did not look like a pregnant lady at all. She was pregnant now, and Older Brother Dayuan still treated her like that.
Ning Qing gritted her teeth in anger. She would let Older Brother Dayuan regret his decisions then.
So what if he was talented in his medical skills, and so what if he was warm and gentle as a piece of jade. Doesn’t he know he’s already 33 years old now? He is an old man. Does he know that he’s going to be a father?
This guy is so stubborn!
Zhou Dayuan arrived at his estate. He parked the car in the carpark and switched the engine off. He leaned his long body backwards and tumbled into the chair.
He closed his eyes, and his entire figure was weary, but his heart was even more exhausted.
His brain still had the image of that gentle almond-shaped face. She sobbed in his embrace as she complained of pain. She looked at him with teary eyes. An entire night had passed, and still, her scent remained on his tongue and hands.
But the thing that he still could not get over: She used so much strength to push him away last night, and she bent her waist as she vomited.
She clearly acted in a way to show that she hated him.
Zhou Dayuan was panting. He felt angry and sinister, but this could not match up with the emptiness in the deepest end of his heart. It was as if someone had dug his heart out secretly, and he had turned into a wild ghost on this earth.
There was a voice in her heart that told him, Zhou Dayuan, you have finally lost her.
Zhou Dayuan placed his head on the chair. He moved his Adam’s apple. There was a teardrop in the corner of her eye, and it speedily rolled into his short hair as it disappeared.
He met her when he was 20 years old. He gave all of the warmth and gentleness in his life as a man to her. He had never thought of it before, that his life would be without her. How was he going to continue living on?
At this moment, a melodious ringtone reverberated in the empty car cabin, and his phone started to ring.
He pressed his temples with his left hand. He did not open his eyes. He fumbled around messily with his other hand, and he felt his phone and answered lazily. “Hello…”
“Hello, Older Brother Dayuan, where are you right now? Did you know that Older Sister Jian has gone back to T City already? She might be in the airport right now. She is going to fly back to Singapore.” Ning Qing’s anxious voice rang out on the phone.
Zhou Dayuan curled the corners of his lips up. He mocked himself silently as he laughed. “Oh, is that right? Let her go then. In the future, I won’t have any relations with her.”
“Nonsense! Zhou Dayuan, do you call yourself a man? Don’t you know that Older Sister Jian is pregnant, and she has your child in her stomach!”
Time seemed to stop in that moment. Ning Qing’s anxious voice rang in the air, and after that, there was a voice that rang out repeatedly — Older Sister Jian is pregnant. She has your child in her belly…
Pregnant?
Pregnant!
Zhou Dayuan jumped up from the seat. He pressed his left hand against the steering wheel. He held it tight, and he opened his eyes, he had fierce emotion in his eyes as he glared at a certain spot. “Ning Qing, what did you say? If you have the ability, repeat it another time! She had always taken contraceptive pills. How could she be pregnant, Ning Qing if you dare lie to me, I…”
“Zhou Dayuan, it doesn’t matter if I repeat it a thousand or a million times. Let me tell youL Older Sister Jian is pregnant. She is going to be a mother, and you are going to be a father now…Oh, I almost forgot, this matter has nothing to do with you. You just said it yourself… As for how Older Sister Jian got pregnant, only you would know about it. Oh, no, maybe you would think that the child is Tang Fan’s…”
Ding ding. Zhou Dayuan had already hung up.
He started the car, and the Porsche reversed out of the parking lot. There was a sharp sound of screeching that sounded in the quiet parking lot, and Zhou Dayuan floored the accelerator. Zoom! The car flew out.
Ning Qing on this end heard the busy tone. She pouted her pink lips, smiled, and said, “This Older Brother Dayuan has always been like this. He always says no with his lips, but he is more worried than anyone else in his heart.”
Yue Wanqing was still worried. “Qingqing, why did you not speak to Doctor Zhou properly just now? Who is Tang Fan? You better not let Doctor Zhou misunderstand again. Doctor Jian…”
“Mum, “Ning Qing interrupted her mother’s nagging quickly as she held her mother’s elbow. She coyly said, “Don’t be worried now. Older Sister Jian and Older Brother Dayuan have already weathered the storm.”
“That’s right, Mum.” Lu Shaoming used one arm to carry Little Qinwen. “Dayuan is clear in his heart. Let’s go back to T City then.”
With her son-in-law’s words, Yue Wanqing felt safe. She turned her gaze back to look at Sunshine Orphanage a distance away. With a sigh, she said, “Let’s go then.”
Everyone boarded the Bentley SUV. Lu Shaoming stepped on the accelerator, and the Bentley cruised smoothly on the road.
When they cruised at the bend, a black luxury car came over from the other direction, and both cars brushed against one another.
Yue Wanqing felt her heart jump for a moment. She quickly looked outside the window of the car and saw the shadow of the luxury sedan.
Ning Qing felt her mother behaving strangely and quickly asked, “Mum, what’s wrong?”
Yue Wanqing shook her head and touched her heart as she said, “Just now…” She did not say anything in the end. She simply smiled and said, “Mum is fine.”
In the back of the black luxury sedan. Grandma sat in the soft seat. Zhou Heng held her hand tight. “Xiao Hui, don’t be nervous. Since we have gotten news of Dou Dou, I can locate her quickly.”
Zhou Zhilei sat in the front passenger seat. She turned back with a gentle smile on her face as she said, “That’s right, Grandma, didn’t that Director Shi say, Dou Dou was adopted by a family when she was eight years old. We have gotten details of that family. After we return to T City, Grandpa can help you find Dou Dou immediately.”
Grandma’s hands were very cold. Her elderly face was both happy and worried as she said, “Dou Dou’s father, I am really overjoyed. Heavens have finally been kind and allowed us to have news of Dou Dou, but my emotions are unstable. I have a bad premonition. I am afraid…”
Zhou Heng patted her shoulders as he said, “Xiao Hui, don’t imagine such nonsense. Hand everything over to me. Hand Dou Dou over to me as well.”
Grandma wiped her tears in the corners of her eyes as she nodded her head.
The Bentley stopped in front of Tea Pavilion Villa. Ning Qing wanted to go to the studio to manage matters involving Yi Fan Red Wine. Lu Shaoming wanted to bring Little Qinwen to the office. Lu Shaoming said, “Mum, I will ask the driver to take you home.”
Yue Wanqing kissed Little Qinwen as she waved her hands. “I don’t need the driver. I will take the bus myself. I am old now, I need to move around more. I can go to buy some groceries on the way. We were not at home last night. I don’t know what your dad ate.”
Ning Qing was comforted. Three years have gone by since the matter involving Li Meiling and Ning Yao. The couple that had been together since a young age were now companions when they were old, and her parents’ relationship was getting better.
“Okay then, Mum, take care of your safety on the way there.”
“Don’t worry, I have taken this route many times now, both of you go to work quickly, I will be leaving now.” Yue Wanqing waved her hands.
Yue Wanqing walked on the main streets. She passed by a supermarket, and she went in to buy some groceries.
At this moment, there was a black luxury sedan that stopped in front of the door of the supermarket. Zhou Heng personally carried the grandma from the car into the wheelchair. “Xiao Hui, do you feel better now?”
The dizziness made Grandma feel uncomfortable. She was a little affected by motion sickness. Grandma had asked for the car to stop quickly at the door of the supermarket. She wanted to take a breath of fresh air.
Grandma did not look good, but she nodded her head as she said, “Dou Dou’s father, I am fine. You don’t have to worry.”
