A foreign city, dear you

The Lijin Company tour group's bus departed from Lijin Company at ten o'clock in the morning.

There are two cars in total.

After Cao Xueqian got on one of them, he sat down with a male colleague.

Cheng Dianfei and Guo Zi followed Cao Xueqian into the car.

Cheng Dianfei pretended to glance at Cao Xueqian's seat casually.

Both the front and back rows of Cao Xueqian's seats were already occupied.

Cheng Dianfei was hesitant about where to sit. Guo Zi pulled her back, passed Cao Xueqian's seat, and then passed a row before sitting down.

The car starts moving.

The tour guide spoke in the car, introduced the itinerary, and then in order to activate the atmosphere in the car, he suggested that the people in the car play a small game.

Everyone is busy at work and can finally relax, so most people in the car are very active and play games together.

The car suddenly became lively.

Cao Xueqian was originally very active and good at enlivening the atmosphere, but today he was more restrained. Except for necessary speech and cooperation, he just watched quietly with a smile.

What Cao Xueqian told Ye Lian that he could not go on the trip if Ye Lian disagreed was not a lie on his part.

He has little interest in traveling without Ye Lian by his side.

But since it was a group activity of the company after all, he joined the company's travel team after obtaining Ye Lian's consent.

Cao Xueqian promised Ye Lian that he would stay away from Cheng Dianfei.

He did what he said, not only deliberately avoiding Cheng Dianfei, but also trying to reduce his sense of existence and keeping himself silent out of Cheng Dianfei's attention.

At noon, the tourist bus stopped at a farmhouse hotel, and everyone wanted to get off the bus and have lunch.

Cao Xueqian saw Cheng Dianfei being pulled by Guo Zi to sit down at a dining table, so he went to sit at another table.

While eating, Cao Xueqian, who usually went home for lunch on Saturdays, suddenly wondered if Ye Lian and Lan Shan had eaten?

So, he sent a text message to Ye Lian: "Honey, have you eaten yet?"

The text message was sent for a while, but Ye Lian didn't reply.

Cao Xueqian thought that Ye Lian would not reply to the message, so he didn't pay much attention to his mobile phone and concentrated on chatting with his colleagues while eating.

After lunch, get on the bus again.

The car continued to drive to its destination.

Feeling sleepy after lunch, Cao Xueqian took a nap in his seat. When he woke up, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.

He took out his cell phone, flipped through it casually, and saw the text message Ye Lian later sent.

"Isn't the scenery outside beautiful? Isn't the beautiful woman outside cute? Are you too happy to miss Shu? What does it matter whether my wife eats or not?"

Cao Xueqian scanned the content of the message and instantly understood Ye Lian's mood when she sent the message.

The meaning of this message is clearly: You are having fun outside, why do you care about my life and death?

Ye Lian's face immediately appeared in front of Cao Xueqian's eyes. His anxious expression was mixed with various worries and doubts.

Cao Xueqian immediately became worried.

He knew why Ye Lian was uneasy, worried, and doubtful.

It turns out that she has not given up, it turns out that she is still worried about him traveling, and her agreement last night was not sincere.

Cao Xueqian looked out the window. The fields outside the window were flashing backwards. The rapid rotation of the wheels made him farther and farther away from Yancheng and Ye Lian.

He knew that the longer he was out, the more worried Ye Lian would be.

Cao Xueqian has no intention of traveling.

After only half a day, Ye Lian was already very worried and uneasy. Over the next two days and two nights, Ye Lian would definitely become more and more uneasy and tormented at home, and her suspicions about him would also increase. Getting heavier.

Ever since the last divorce due to her affair with Cheng Dianfei, Ye Lian had been suspicious for a long time.

Every day when Cao Xueqian comes off work, Ye Lian will look at him from top to bottom with suspicion in her eyes;

When Cao Xueqian calls, Ye Lian will listen with sharp ears, and then consciously or unconsciously ask who is calling;

Sometimes, Ye Lian would go to the roadside to pick him up from get off work. Although she didn't say it, Cao Xueqian knew that Ye Lian was worried about other women in his car, especially Cheng Dianfei.

……

Cao Xueqian lets her do all this.

He knew it would take time for Ye Lian to trust him unconditionally again.

He also took the initiative to dispel her doubts as much as possible.

After finishing his work every day, he would go home as soon as possible;

When talking on the phone, he never avoids Ye Lian;

When he was out, if he came home late, he would ask the male colleagues or friends next to him to talk to Ye Lian to prove that he was not alone with any woman.

……

Slowly, Ye Lian's suspicion improved slightly, and she seemed a little more relaxed, instead of being tense and defensive.

But obviously, this time she was traveling and staying outside for two nights, Ye Lian's suspicions arose uncontrollably.

So why does he insist on traveling?

Let Ye Lian's heart be hurt again?

Will Ye Lian become more and more panicked as she waits at home?

Let their marriage falter again?

He was reluctant to give up.

No, I won’t go traveling, I want to go home.

As soon as Cao Xueqian had this thought in his mind, he immediately stood up with his bag in hand.

He walked to the front of the car and told the driver to pull off the highway and that he needed to get out of the car.

Then he said to the people in the car, "Everyone, have a good time. I have something to do at home, so I won't accompany you. I want to get off the car and go home."

The people in the car were in an uproar.

Someone said, isn’t it? You have to go back after you have come out?

Someone said, if you get off the bus here, how do you get back to Yancheng?

It is said that military orders abroad will be subject to certain restrictions, and we will wait until the trip is over, right?

Some people say that Mrs. Cao’s control is too tight, right?

……

Cao Xueqian laughed heartily and didn't explain much. He just said, "Don't ask so many questions. I understand everything."

Yes, everyone who understands understands, and it’s useless to talk if you don’t understand.

The tourist bus got off the highway, and Cao Xueqian got off amidst the discussions of his colleagues and the extremely surprised and disappointed eyes of Cheng Dianfei.

Cao Xueqian stood on the side of the road, watching the cars whizzing by on the road.

He didn't know how far it was to get back to Yancheng, nor did he know how to get back to Yancheng.

Taxis back to Yancheng are too expensive, and there are no taxis in sight.

Private cars are even less likely.

Then you can only try your luck and wait for the long-distance bus.

After waiting for a long time, Cao Xueqian was still standing on the roadside.

Either he hadn’t seen the bus passing by for a long time, or even if there was a bus passing by, he ignored Cao Xueqian’s wave at the roadside.

The cold wind blew, and Cao Xueqian's back became colder and colder.

At about 4:30 in the afternoon, thank God, Cao Xueqian finally got on a bus bound for Yancheng.

This time, he didn't call Ye Lian or send a message.
