Chapter 338 Gave Me Strength

He held me in his arms and said gently, "I know, I can't bear to leave you either. But we all have our own things to do. It will be quick, dear. I'll be back soon."

"I always feel empty inside when you're not around." I leaned in his arms and whispered softly.

"I'll be back soon. You see, your cooperation this time is so successful. You will definitely have a lot of things to do next." He comforted me.

"Maybe when I come back, you will be too busy to take care of me." He tried to ease the atmosphere with a relaxed tone.

I raised my head, looked into his eyes, and said seriously, "How could that be? I will definitely be thinking about you all the time."

"When you are out there, you must take good care of yourself, eat on time, and don't be too tired." I warned him worriedly.

He smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, I will. You too, don't work too hard, take a rest when you are tired, all the money your husband earns this time will be spent on you."

I looked at Jiang Yichen and thought to myself that I actually earn about the same as you now, but of course the more money the better, so I didn't say anything else.

On that day, it was drizzling in the sky, as if it was also sad about our separation.

I stood at the door and watched him pulling the suitcase and walking into the rain step by step. The driver took his luggage. His back looked so lonely in the rain, which made my heart clenched.

"Be careful on the road!" I couldn't help but shout.

He stopped, turned around and waved at me with a smile.

"Don't worry, I'll be back soon." His voice came through the rain, soothing.

I held back my tears and tried to force a smile to reply him: "I'll wait for you to come back!"

As I watched his figure gradually disappear in the rain, a part of my heart seemed to be taken away with him.

Returning to the empty room, my longing overwhelmed me like a tide.

I know that during the time he is away on business, we should work harder to focus on Elite Studio and turn it into a company sooner.

But that deep concern always comes to my mind inadvertently, making it impossible for me to calm down. I sent him several messages, all of which were reminding him to be safe. I don’t know why, but after having Xiao Huai, the feeling of home became stronger and stronger.

The next day, I took Xiao Huai to get vaccinated. The prompt tone of the video call suddenly rang in the hospital room. I looked down at Xiao Huai in my arms. He was twisting restlessly, and his little hands were tightly grasping the corner of my clothes.

"..." He raised his little face, his eyes filled with tears.

I patted his back gently and connected the video with my other hand.

Jiang Yichen's face appeared on the screen, with an unfamiliar hotel room as the background. "Getting vaccinated?" His voice was a little hoarse, and his eyes fell on Xiao Huai in my arms.

I nodded, and the nurse came over with a syringe. The moment the needle pierced the skin, Xiao Huai's body trembled violently, and I felt his little hand pinching my arm tightly.

Jiang Yichen on the other end of the video suddenly frowned and raised his hand to press his solar plexus. "What's wrong?" I asked subconsciously, pressing my fingers lightly on the needle hole where Xiao Huai was bleeding.

Jiang Yichen did not answer immediately. His eyes passed over the screen, as if looking at something far away. "It's said to be a virus outbreak, but the symptoms are not like..." His voice suddenly paused.

Xiao Huai suddenly burst into tears, and the cry did not sound like the pain of the injection, but more like some kind of instinctive fear. I felt the child in my arms trembling, and his back was wet.

Jiang Yichen's Adam's apple moved, and his voice was as light as a sigh: "Let him bite the pacifier." Only then did I remember the pacifier I had casually stuffed into my bag before going out.

After Xiao Huai bit the pacifier, his crying gradually turned into sobbing. Jiang Yichen's eyes never left the screen, and there was an emotion in his eyes that I couldn't describe.

"You..." I just started to speak, but he interrupted me. "It's okay." He smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes. "Take good care of Xiao Huai."

I noticed that his fingers were tapping unconsciously on the table, which was his habit when he was nervous.

"Jiang Yichen..."

"I'm here." His voice was very soft, "Always here." Xiao Huai gradually calmed down in my arms, with tears still hanging on her eyelashes.

Jiang Yichen on the other end of the video suddenly stood up and walked to the window. I saw the city behind him, and the streets were empty.

"Wait for me to come back." After he said this, the video was suddenly interrupted. I looked down at Xiao Huai who was already asleep in my arms, his little hands still tightly clutching the corner of my clothes.

The sky outside the window darkened and the sound of ambulance sirens came from afar. I hugged my child tightly in my arms and suddenly felt that this day had the silence of night.

At the same time, the grandmother at home also learned about the situation abroad and kept asking Jiang Yichen on the phone. Jiang Yichen told him not to worry, that he was safe with his father now and would return home in a few days.

At that time, I didn’t know that Jiang Yichen knew a week in advance that his father had planned to return to China, and that the business negotiations were going extremely successfully, but an accident happened and when he was about to leave, the plane was not allowed to fly into the country and was cancelled.

Jiang Yichen was very anxious during those days but he didn't let me see it, and I didn't notice it either. It was only when I left that I felt something was going to happen.

Although there were many wars abroad, I was unable to return in time this time.

Feeling uneasy, I told Xu Sisi and the others.

Full of anxiety, I dialed Xu Sisi's number. The worry in my heart surged like a tide, and as soon as the call was connected, all the fear poured out.

"Sisi, do you think anything will happen to him this time?" I asked anxiously.

"There's an epidemic and a war over there. I'm really afraid he won't be able to come back." His voice was trembling.

Xu Sisi was on the other end of the phone, soothing me softly, trying to calm me down.

"Don't worry too much, he's so capable, he will definitely come back safely." She said gently, "And didn't he say he's with his dad, so he's safe, don't worry."

But I still couldn't let it go, and the anxiety in my heart followed me everywhere. "But I just can't help worrying, what if something unexpected happens?" I cried.

Xu Sisi continued to comfort me gently, hoping to dispel my anxiety.

"No, good luck will come to you. We have had such a great success in cooperating with famous anchors before."

Then he added: "This is a good sign. He will definitely come back safely."

Hearing the news of the successful cooperation, I felt a little relieved. "The data is out, the effect is very good, our business is on the rise."

"When he comes back and finds out, he will definitely be very happy and share his joy with you." Xu Sisi then suggested that I divert my attention and focus on work.

"Just put more energy into your work, and time will pass faster." "It will be great when he comes back and sees our achievements."

I nodded slightly, and although my worries remained, her words gave me strength.
