Dump Husband and Run Away with Baby - C183
“Auntie, I …” I’ll be leaving first. ” These few days, he had only been chatting at Auntie Zhong’s house. However, regardless of whether it was Auntie Zhong’s Yan Cheng accent or her genuine Yan Cheng cuisine, they all made him feel like he was a child. This kind of parting made him feel extremely reluctant.
“Alright, alright. Zi Chen, come back and visit Auntie when you have the time.” Seeing her own son in such a situation, Auntie Zhong naturally had a complicated feeling about parting with her. She looked at Lei Zichen with reluctance, but was unable to reveal her identity.
“Alright,” Lei Zichen’s heart was already on the verge of breaking down, “Auntie, when I’m free, I’ll definitely … No matter what, from heaven to hell, Lei Zichen’s thoughts were extremely complicated. He longed to see Tao Tian, longed for her to suddenly appear from that door, and then hug himself and say that those dreams he had just had were actually not real, everything was still the same as it was a day ago.
All of this was too sudden. Didn’t she promise him in the morning that she would come to him as soon as everything was settled, how could she turn into this kind of appearance? To him, this woman was simply too unpredictable, too hard to imagine.
Lei Zichen gave one last glance at the door and the figure of Auntie Zhong carrying An An and leaving. He took a deep breath, turned around, and descended the stairs. These stairs that had become familiar with the past few days now looked like a long, unreachable dream …
“Zhizhi, are you alright?” Sitting in the car, Irene saw Lei Zichen’s tightly knitted eyebrows and his furious eyes. Although they were no longer as red as before, they were still filled with a chilling killing intent.
Lei Zichen didn’t say anything, but just sat in the driver’s seat in a daze. It was Irene again, each time it was Irene, why did the woman he loved always hurt him again and again? She accompanied him again and again, looking at Irene’s worried face, full of love and care for him.
“Yao Yao, are you alright …” As he listened to Lei Zichen’s familiar footsteps and Eileen’s footsteps gradually receding, Tao Tian’s entire body went limp on the ground. Everything just now had been too much like a war. She had already exhausted all of her strength.
“Mommy, did you and your uncle have a fight?” Auntie Zhong brought An An into the room. When she saw Tao Tian, whose face was covered in tears, sitting limply on the floor, she hurriedly used her plump hands to wipe away her mother’s tears.
“Good An An, Mommy is fine.” Facing such a small peace, such a sensible action, Tao Tian couldn’t help but tightly hug him. His soft little body and faint fragrance of milk had now become his only comfort and reliance.
“Mommy, don’t be sad. Teacher said that it would be great if you could bravely admit your wrongs. In two days, Uncle will forgive you.” Ann snuggled up to Mommy and comforted her softly.
“Peace …” An An’s children’s words made Tao Tian unable to control himself. He held An An’s arm tighter and tighter.
“Mommy, let’s eat. When I’m not happy, I don’t remember anything about it,” An Xin said, her stomach making two “goo goo” sounds as if she knew what she was doing.
“Haha …” Anan always had a way to pull Tao Tian out of his endless grief and give him back to the pure sky.
“Good, good, good. It’s all mother’s fault. How can I let An An feel hungry?” Tao Tian pulled herself together and hastily ran to the kitchen. “The food is cold. Wait for me, I will heat it up.” Tao Tian regained her composure. After so many years of wandering, her heart had become much stronger.
Tao Ran felt gratified and a bit of heartache. After so long, Tao Tian’s eyes could not escape the radiance in them when Lei Zichen was mentioned. She knew she was in love, using her life to love, but this love was too heavy for this petite girl in front of her …
“Alright, go ahead and eat. Auntie, sorry for troubling you.” Seeing Auntie Zhong standing at the side, Tao Tian said somewhat embarrassedly.
“No, no, child, I just feel sorry for you …” Auntie Zhong looked at Tao Tian with a pampered expression. She was carrying too many things that did not belong to her.
“Alright, alright. Auntie, let’s not talk about this anymore. Let’s eat.” Tao Tian worked hard to make his smile look relaxed and bright.
“Sigh, alright.” Aunt Zhong got up and helped Tao Tian settle the mess. Everyone sat opposite to each other in silence with their heads lowered. No one said anything. The scene just now left a lingering fear in their hearts. At this moment, no one knew what to say.
In the window of a building opposite of Tao Yao’s house, the flashing lights and long lenses were quietly working. Clearly, they were very interested in the family that was having their meal …
Lei Zichen madly rushed back to the hotel, “Irene, which hotel are you staying in? Is it to send you there? ” Obviously, Lei Zichen didn’t intend to bring her over to stay with him.
“Brother Zichen …” I’m a little worried about you, today… “How about today …” Irene looked a little shy, as if she wanted to say something but couldn’t.
“I’m tired. I want to be alone. I’ll take you to rest. Tell me, where do you live?” Irene understood Lei Zichen, so it was better not to disturb him at this time. In any case, most of the obstacles in front of her were already clear, and this time, Tao Tian had truly hurt Lei Zichen’s heart. Hmph, let’s see how she will turn things around this time! Thinking this way, Irene was relieved. Every time Lei Zichen encountered this kind of situation, the one guarding by his side would be her. After a while, even a rock would warm him up.
“I’m at the Jing Xin Hotel in front,” Irene said obediently while pointing at a place not far away.
“Brother Zichen, looking at you like this, I …” “I’m very worried. Even if we’re not lovers, we’re still friends who have known each other for many years. How can I be at ease if you tell me?” Irene said with concern.
“I’m fine, don’t worry.” Lei Zichen’s words were short, but his face was getting more and more impatient. It was as if he would fall out with Irene if she said another word.
“Alright then,” Irene tactfully stopped talking. She quietly sat on her seat and stared at Lei Zichen.
“Are we there yet?” Lei Zichen leaned out of the window and looked outside. The hotel was brightly lit, with the words “Jing Xin” written on it.
“Mhmm, I’m here, Brother Zichen. Be careful when you drive, I’ll call you back.” Irene didn’t dare to dawdle. After repeatedly warning Lei Zichen, she hurriedly got off the car and walked into the hotel …
Looking at Irene’s swaying and shining back, Lei Zichen fell powerlessly onto the steering wheel, the air in the car seemed to be filled with the air related to An’an, how did he suddenly become Tao Ran’s child, why did Tao Tian lie to him? Such a big lie, yet he really did it, he shook the world with it, yet he lost it time and time again to a little girl, he became even more confused, he loved her, perhaps he would continue to love her like this, love and hate her, turning into a color he couldn’t clearly see, then what about her? He couldn’t see or understand. He felt that he had a splitting headache. He didn’t want to think about such a problem anymore …
Lei Zichen sat up and let out a long sigh. His complicated emotions had been completely vented out at Tao Tian’s house. Now that there was nothing else, he started up the car and slowly left Irene’s residence, driving back to his hotel …
Opening his own door, what greeted him was still the same ice-cold air and lifeless walls. No matter how luxurious the decorations were, it was impossible to conceal the desolation within his heart, just like how he …
He buried himself in the blanket, not wanting to think, not wanting to move, only wanting to be quiet like this. At a certain moment, he wanted to disappear from this world even more, if he disappeared, who would be sad? Out of his father, he thought, maybe, only Irene, after all these years of waiting, she was much more transparent and simple than Tao Yao.
Lei Zichen grabbed onto the cup that was wrapped around him tightly. The suffocating pressure made him feel that he was truly there. He tried his best to close his eyes, but the scene just now was so overwhelming that it struck him down.
“Ring, ring, ring …” His phone rang. Lei Zichen turned around in annoyance and grabbed the phone that was thrown to the side. It was Irene.
“What’s the matter?” Lei Zichen asked softly.
“Nothing, Brother Zichen, I’m just a bit worried about you …” Eileen thought about how she could show her worries and how she could step on Tao Tian.
“No need, I’m fine.” Lei Zichen’s tone was icy cold, without a doubt.
“But, Brother Zichen, why are you always willing to chase after a scenery that you can’t get? You can’t even stop and take a look at the one that’s always by your side even though you were hurt by her?” Irene’s voice was sweet with grievance, but there was also no lack of stubbornness. She had always been like this. No matter how hard it was to get what she wanted, she had to find a way to get it, such as that man on the other end of the phone.
“Irene, right now I’m very confused, I don’t have the mood to discuss these problems with you, could you please let me calm down?” Irene’s words only made Lei Zichen’s mental state, which was on the verge of collapse, even more chaotic.
“Alright, Brother Zichen, I won’t say anything. Rest early, I’ll be going to the set with you tomorrow.” Irene said this with determination, it was a stubbornness unique to her. With that, she hung up the phone.
Listening to the busy beep, Lei Zichen seemed to have returned to reality, feeling lost.
The night grew quieter. Layers of black attacked him. He closed his eyes, not knowing whether he was in reality or fantasy.
After tossing and turning until dawn, Lei Zichen slowly closed his eyes to take a nap.
The next morning, “Brother, I’m going to work.” Tao Yao got up early, packed up everything, and prepared to leave.
“Yao Yao, today… “You …” Tao Ran was afraid of encountering Irene and Lei Zichen on the set again.
