Noland felt a tightness in his chest, and his nails left marks on the soft palms, but a handsome smile appeared on his face.
Noland I said to Li Li: "I know you too. You must be the ex-husband that Belle mentioned to me."
Her ex-husband.
Ex-husband!
This time it was Li Li's turn to feel heartbroken.
Li Ao heard the voices and ran over to hug Li Li. "Dad, you're off work!"
Li Ao hugged Li Ao with one hand, and he and Li Ao kissed each other forehead to forehead for a while, then smiled and said to Noland: "I forgot to say, I am also Li Ao's father."
Noland's smile disappeared completely.
Su Beibei stood aside and looked at the two of them indifferently and calmly. She smelled the tension between them.
But she felt strange, why were these two people confronting each other?
Su Beibei didn't help her aunt cook today. She had severe abdominal pain, probably because her period was coming. Since her miscarriage, Su Beibei has had stomach pain the day before her period. Every time, the pain makes her sweat profusely, and she can only rely on painkillers to numb the pain.
Su Beibei went back to her room and lay down, her abdomen throbbing with pain, making her sweat profusely. She got up, opened the drawer, took an ibuprofen from the aluminum foil and put it in her mouth.
Dinner was ready, and Li Ao knocked on the door outside to remind Su Beibei to go out for dinner.
Su Beibei put down the water cup, stuffed the pills back into the drawer, and said to Li Ao, "Mom won't eat tonight. Neil, you can go with your dad and Uncle Cong Nuo."
"Mom, aren't you hungry?" Li Ao walked into the room. He opened the drawer, stared at the ibuprofen inside, and looked up at Su Beibei and asked, "Why did you take medicine, Mom? Are you feeling unwell?"
Su Beibei hummed, "Mom has a stomachache and doesn't want to eat."
"Then Neil will give you a rub."
Li Ao stood on tiptoe and gently rubbed Su Beibei's belly. Su Beibei still felt pain, but she didn't want to worry the child, so she said, "It doesn't hurt anymore. Mommy will go to dinner with you."
"good!"
Su Beibei was sitting at the dining table. Both Noland and Li Li noticed that she looked very pale and had sweat on her forehead. Noland asked her, "Belle, what's wrong with you?"
Li Li was about to ask, but Noland beat him to the punch. He gave Noland a rather unhappy look. Li Li placed a glass of warm water in front of Su Beibei and asked her, "What's wrong with you?"
Su Beibei lowered her head and chewed her food expressionlessly, saying, "Only during those few days every month."
Li Li understood.
He was a little surprised and said, "You didn't feel any pain before." Even if it hurt, it was very weak.
Su Beibei tilted her head to glance at Li Ao, then said, "I've had this problem since the last car accident."
Li Li's eyes felt painful.
Su Beibei put down her knife and fork. She said, "That child died with grievance. He wanted me to remember him forever in this way."
Li Li's face turned pale.
The lost child is the pain in their hearts.
Noland's Chinese was also very good. When he heard this, he understood what Su Beibei meant and his expression changed slightly. Noland knew that Su Beibei had been in a car accident before the divorce, but he didn't know that she had also suffered a miscarriage.
Su Beibei had no appetite and her stomach hurt. She couldn't hold on any longer. Su Beibei rubbed Li Ao's head and said to him, "Neil, Mom is full. Go and have a rest."
"Okay, Mom."
Su Beibei went back to her room to lie down. Not long after, Li Li knocked on the door and walked in. He was holding a bowl of brown sugar eggs.
Li Li put the brown sugar eggs on the bedside table and patted Su Beibei's shoulder.
Su Beibei opened her eyes and smelled the sweet smell of brown sugar. She then looked up at Li Li. Li Li said, "They say drinking brown sugar is good for your health. Have some. It's not hot and it's perfect for now."
Su Beibei did not refuse. She leaned against the head of the bed and finished the bowl of brown sugar water and eggs.
Seeing this, Li Li was quite happy.
Li Li asked Su Beibei: "Does your stomach hurt badly? I'll find you a hot water bottle. It will feel better if you put it on your stomach. If..."
"Li Li, you should leave tonight." Su Beibei suddenly interrupted Li Li's chatter and asked him to leave.
Li Li's face was filled with astonishment.
He showed a puzzled and bewildered expression. "What's wrong? Did I do something wrong?" Li Li couldn't understand. They were obviously fine last night, and Su Beibei even asked him for $10,000 for food expenses.
No one knew what Su Beibei was thinking and she remained silent.
Li Li's expression turned sinister as he thought of something. He said sarcastically, "Is it because of that guy outside? We live together now, are you afraid he'll misunderstand? You don't want him to get jealous? So you want to drive me away?"
Su Beibei frowned as she listened to Li Li's nonsense. A flush of excitement appeared on her pale face, which was caused by anger. "What are you talking about?"
Su Beibei looked towards the door and said to Li Li, "Cong Nuo is just my friend, a little brother who grew up with me. You have dirty thoughts yourself, so don't think everyone else is dirty!"
"I'm dirty?" Li Li was so jealous that his words became even more ridiculous. He said, "As soon as you settled down in Los Angeles, you invited that guy to be your guest. You said that you and that guy were just ordinary neighbors and friends. Who would believe that?"
Su Beibei said subconsciously: "We haven't seen each other for many years, and he happened to be in Los Angeles..."
Su Beibei stopped talking suddenly before she finished speaking.
She looked at Li Li with a complex and suspicious look, as if she were looking at a stranger. "Li Li, are you spying on me?"
Li Li didn't admit it, but he didn't deny it either.
Su Beibei shook her head, looking disappointed. "Li Li, I thought you were just a workaholic who just couldn't figure out family relationships. I didn't expect you to be such a possessive person!"
