Mr. Huo, stop being abusive. Madam has already entered the emergency room.

Cheng Zhi felt unreal.

Whether it's retrieving information or preparing to make an appointment to see a house, I often feel distracted.

She is always restless.

She was afraid that the peace in front of her would be too short, and that what was waiting for her would be a violent storm.

Uneasy, a week has passed.

The house is basically optimistic, the deposit has been paid, and the only thing left is to sign the contract.

Cheng Zhi couldn't hold back his longing, so he made the first phone call to Country M.

It was Joy who answered the phone.

It should be working hours, but the background sound on her side is dead silent.

Cheng Zhi's premonition was wrong, the words on his lips suddenly dissipated, and his heart beat louder than ever.

"Xiao Zhi, we..." Joy changed from her usual cheerful and lively voice, and became hesitant to speak.

Cheng Zhi had more and worse associations.

"Did something happen?"

joy sighed, finally showing anxiety.

"Xiao Wang disappeared. Shen Yang and Liang Jie and I searched for it for several days. We suspected that Huo Linyuan did it, but there was no evidence. Shen Yang went back to China in a hurry, and left his mobile phone with me."

Cheng Zhi was feeling hopeless, and fell onto the bed by grabbing the corner of the bed.

"It must be him! The baby will not go with others casually!"

Joy immediately reminded: "You are not in good health, don't worry! As soon as there is news..."

Cheng Zhi couldn't listen to anything, so she hung up the phone and dialed the number she knew by heart.

"Cheng Zhi?" Huo Linyuan's voice was cold, like ice cubes falling into a glass from a high place.

Cheng Zhi didn't care about his tone, and asked anxiously, "Where is Cheng Wang?"

Without denying it, Huo Linyuan was silent for a moment, as if trying to restrain his emotions.

In just ten seconds, Cheng Zhi's shoulders relaxed slightly.

"Nothing else to say?" Huo Linyuan asked.

But he didn't give Cheng Zhi a chance to speak.

"You tried so hard to get away, separated from the child, and changed transportation many times, just to leave me completely?"

Knowing that Cheng Wang was safe for now, Cheng Zhi calmed down strangely.

As if fleeing was just a hopeless struggle.

Or maybe it's because I haven't had any sense of reality since I went abroad.

So at this moment, she didn't have the emotions that made her hysterical because of the surprise and disappointment.

"Yes," she said.

"Heh..." Huo Linyuan suddenly laughed softly across from him.

When he spoke again, there was no smile in his words.

"When we reunited, you panicked and didn't leave completely. After going to bed drunk, you didn't want to leave even if you felt sick and unbearable. When you were trapped and humiliated by Cheng Lingshan and your reputation was ruined, you still didn't completely give up on Hong Kong. life……"

"Why this time? Why?"

He asked sharply, as if he was extremely sad, but at the same time he seemed to be happy in every possible way.

Cheng Zhi bit her lower lip tightly, tears streaming down one after another.

why?

During the more than half a month in Pingshan, she didn't know the specific strength of the Zhuo family, and she didn't know who would lose when the two tigers fought.

Then, she realized what she was most worried about...

It was Huo Linyuan.

Especially in the end, when the suppressed Huo Linyuan went up the mountain to find her, she thought she would be retaliated and humiliated.

But no.

She couldn't turn a blind eye to the jealousy and anxiety, pain and struggle in his eyes.

It seemed that he was really right.

She never let him go.

As Cui Yunshang said, the heart and emotions cannot be controlled by reason.

No matter how much she said no to herself, she stretched out her hand to push back Huo Linyuan's hand, but she couldn't be as firm as before.

—She loves him more than she knows.

Although that love belongs to the past.
