Chapter 169 The Pain of Longing



After they left, Song Yunzheng walked out of the VIP waiting room, tore up the plane ticket to Shanghai, threw it into the trash can, and turned to leave through the VIP passage...

Back at Courtyard No. 1, Lin Yue felt the house was unusually empty. Her voice echoed as she spoke. Without him, the blankets were cold. It had only been a few hours since they parted, but she was already starting to feel uneasy and couldn't stop missing him.

Lin Yue tossed and turned in bed for a long time that night. She sent him a WeChat message right on time, but it was like throwing a stone into the sea. It took a long time for him to reply, "I'm busy. Go to sleep early."

Upon seeing these words, the smile that had been blooming like spring flowers instantly froze on her face.

"Are you busy tonight too?" Lin Yue asked, a little puzzled, but she didn't think much of it and quickly replied, "Okay, you should get some rest too, goodnight."

In the following days, Song Yunzheng would occasionally send her messages to tell her what he was doing, and would also send her some work photos from time to time.

However, the timing of his messages seemed extremely unpredictable; Lin Yue would reply very quickly, while he would take a long time to reply.

Several times, unable to bear the longing, I wanted to hear his voice, so I called him. He hung up quickly and then texted me to say that he was in a meeting and couldn't answer the phone.

This happened several times, so Lin Yue didn't dare to bother him anymore. If she really delayed his work, the consequences would be dire.

...

"What? You're going to take up half of your already limited time again? What am I supposed to do?" Rong Youze hugged Yunxi with a wronged expression, like a cute and clingy big dog.

Yunxi's heart softened immediately. "My brother just had something to do, it'll only be... half a year, it'll be over soon."

Rong Youze rested his chin on her neck and sighed softly, the sigh drawn out and full of resentment, "Then let's go eat first."

Yunxi chuckled and hummed in agreement.

The place where they ate was near Chengye, a popular Sichuan restaurant. Yunxi had casually mentioned it to Rong Youze, and he remembered it.

This small restaurant is run by a couple from Sichuan. The shop is small and the decor has a vintage feel, but the food is delicious and there are many repeat customers. The owners are also very friendly.

Yunxi's taste is somewhat similar to Lin Yue's; she prefers strong flavors but loves clear soup. The Sichuan-style sausage in front of her was absolutely delicious, and she fell in love with it after just one bite. She kept eating it while drinking water because it was so spicy, and her already rosy lips looked even more beautiful at that moment.

When we came out after dinner, it was almost dark. The neon lights on both sides of the street were bright and colorful, but the sky was not as clear as yesterday, and the clouds were a bit heavy.

Rong Youze silently drove the car towards Wanhua Mansion. Yunxi, whose eyes had been slightly closed, opened them slightly. Seeing the familiar streets, she suddenly sat up straight. "No, I have to go to No. 1 Courtyard to see my sister-in-law first."

"Let's go to your house first; I have something to give you."

"But……"

"Very soon."

The car quickly stopped downstairs, and Rong Youze led Yunxi into the house. He already knew her house password by heart.

The moment the door closed, Rong Youze snuggled up to Yunxi like a big cat, burying his face in her neck, his breath hot, and his throat bobbing, "Yunxi, I've been holding back for so long, when are you going to give me a legitimate reason?"

He held her tightly, whispering sweet nothings over and over, making her feel as if she were being electrocuted.

Yunxi turned around, staring blankly at him without saying a word, but her eyes seemed to hold a pool of spring water, and she smiled sweetly.

Rong Youze was unusually forceful today, pulling her tightly into his arms. "You know what I mean, Yunxi, you can't pretend to be stupid..."

He gently pecked at her lips again and again, his large, broad hands, like nimble snakes, roaming freely over her back, supporting her slender waist that seemed as if it could break at any moment, and pulling her tightly into his arms.

His hot, thin lips moved to her neck, her clothes were pulled down to her shoulders, and her fair skin was exposed to the air, instantly raising a layer of tiny goosebumps.

Yunxi's slender white fingers tightly gripped his reddened ear, a sweet smile on her face, "You said you had something to give me when you came back, the thing you mentioned..."

"It's me!" Rong Youze impatiently sealed her alluring red lips with his.

The temperature soared like a rocket...

The phone rang at an inopportune moment. Yunxi ran her slender fingers through Rong Youze's dark hair, tilted her long neck back, her red lips slightly parted as she breathed rapidly, and crystal-clear tears slid down her reddened eyes.

She reached into her bag with difficulty and pulled out her phone. Barely able to make out the caller ID amidst the jostling, she called out to the man engrossed in his work in an incredibly soft voice, "Wait...wait a minute, it's my sister-in-law..."

Sweat dripped from Rong Youze's black hair, giving him a beautiful pinkish glow, and his dreamy eyes made him look like a bewitching enchantress.

Yunxi took a deep breath, cleared her throat, and pressed the answer button.

"Hey, sister-in-law, what's wrong?"

"Yunxi, do you know your brother's exact location in Shanghai?"

As expected, what was bound to happen couldn't be avoided!

Yunxi suddenly tensed up, her muscles tensing, and the man in front of her let out a muffled groan of discomfort...

Yunxi quickly covered his mouth, trying to calm herself down, but her voice still sounded a little guilty, "I...I don't know either, my brother didn't tell me, what's wrong?"

"Yunxi, can you come to Shanghai with me? I want to go see him." The voice on the phone sounded listless and lacked any energy.

"Sister-in-law, my brother might be back soon. Why don't you wait a couple more days?"

A soft sigh came from the other end of the phone, "Never mind, I'll figure it out myself. Are you going for a run? You sound a bit strange."
