"Husband..." Lin Yue called out softly.
Song Yunzheng was already immersed in that dark world, talking to himself, "Even if we see each other every day, it's still not enough. Whenever you're not by my side, I go crazy thinking about you, constantly wondering what you're doing and who's with you?"
He gripped Lin Yue's hand even tighter, and the person in front of him winced in pain, but he acted as if he didn't see it.
Lin Yue did not pull her hand away, letting him hold it like that, gazing at him with heartache, seeing his somewhat dazed expression, and subconsciously wanting to hug him.
“Husband…” Lin Yue grabbed his wrist and called him again.
Song Yunzheng remained tense, as if he hadn't heard anything.
“He used to threaten me with other things, with my father’s future, and I was never afraid because I knew he wouldn’t dare. But later, after you came into my life, after Chen Kun kidnapped you, he started using you to threaten me, saying that if you knew my other side, you would leave me, and that’s when I started to get scared…”
At this moment, he was like a trapped beast, shutting himself off in his inner world, struggling painfully with the fear and uncertainty in his heart...
The stabbing pain in his chest was spreading little by little, as if it were tearing his throat apart, and his eyes were also extremely sore.
Lin Yue grabbed his arm and yelled, "Song Yunzheng! Are you an idiot?!"
The stern rebuke pulled him back from that dark world. He blinked as if waking from a dream, and for a moment, his eyes were clear as water, like a lost child, as he turned and stared straight at her.
Lin Yue cupped his face in her hands, looked into his eyes, and said, word by word, "Even the gods can't control me. You believed him when he said I would leave you? Why didn't you tell me sooner? Why didn't you ask me?"
She was both angry and heartbroken. How could someone who was usually so smart become so stupid when faced with something like this?
"From the day we got our marriage certificate, we were destined to be together for life, and no one can separate us."
With red eyes, she threw herself into his arms, hugging his neck tightly so he could truly feel her presence, her hands gently stroking his back again and again.
"Don't be afraid, I'll always be here, I'll always be here..."
A glimmer of light flashed in Song Yunzheng's eyes, and he felt a warm current flowing into his heart. He hugged the person in his arms tightly, as if he wanted to embed her into his bones and blood, and buried his head in the crook of her neck, deeply inhaling her calming fragrance.
...
Song Xinian soon learned that Zhou Shirong had taken the initiative to come to him, and he told Zhou Lirong, "He has come to the capital."
Zhou Lirong paused for a moment, her expression slightly stunned. She knew perfectly well who this "he" was referring to, and she would never forget those sharp and hurtful words from back then.
"Fine, I, Zhou Shirong, will pretend I never had a daughter like you. From now on, no matter how you live your life, it has nothing to do with my Zhou family! We'll be strangers from now on!"
Sunlight streamed quietly through the glass into the living room, casting a soft, warm glow across the floor. However, none of this could dispel the gloom in Zhou Lirong's heart. She still felt oppressed, as if shrouded in an invisible chill.
Since her mother passed away, she has never set foot in Sunan City again, and this separation has lasted for more than 20 years.
He came to the capital today only to find Yun Zheng; his intentions are as clear as day.
Many years ago, she knew that he had been threatening Yunzheng openly and secretly. Torn between her father and son, she chose to pretend she didn't know and chose to escape, leaving Yunzheng to face the grudges of their previous generation alone.
She even had a fleeting thought: why not let him raise the child? Fortunately, it was just a fleeting thought.
She always felt guilty towards Yunzheng.
Seeing her worried expression, Song Xinian got up and walked over to her, suddenly taking out a piece of chocolate. "Try this, it's your favorite brand, a new flavor."
Seeing the chocolate suddenly handed to her, Zhou Lirong was slightly taken aback, her voice a little hoarse, "At my age, why would I eat this?"
Song Xinian tore open the outer packaging and stuffed the chocolate into her mouth. "Why are there so many age restrictions when it comes to eating? Are you feeling better now?"
Zhou Lirong smiled and nodded. She was very grateful to have met Song Xinian, who remained devoted to her even after she turned fifty.
Song Yunzheng seems to have inherited all of Song Yunzheng's love for his wife.
...
If Zhou Shirong hadn't suddenly visited that day and said some provocative things to Song Yunzheng, Lin Yue felt she might never have known what he was thinking and fearing in his heart.
She glanced at the time; it was almost five o'clock. "He should be getting off work soon."
After thinking for a moment, she took out her phone and made a call. Then she quickly tidied herself up, put on a full face of makeup, put on sunglasses, went downstairs, hailed a taxi, and went to the hospital to pick up her colleague after get off work.
While waiting at a traffic light, I happened to see Shen Mo through the car window. He was sitting upright in the back seat of a Maybach, with a pretty woman sitting next to him.
The woman had delicate features, bright red lips, and chestnut-colored wavy hair that cascaded casually over her shoulders. Her expression was particularly lively as she spoke to the man beside her.
The traffic light turned green, and the traffic started moving slowly. The Maybach quickly sped past.
Lin Yue asked the driver to stop at the coffee shop across from the hospital. He hadn't finished get off work yet and was probably busy right now.
I went inside, ordered a coffee, and chose a seat by the window. I silently watched the crowds and traffic outside. When I looked up, I saw workers busy decorating the city. The New Year was approaching, and red lanterns had already been hung up.
Song Yunzheng had just finished his rounds when he received Lin Yue's call. She told him that she had a surprise for him later and asked him not to rush off work, but to wait in the office for a few minutes.
"Don't leave, you absolutely must wait for me!" The voice on the other end of the phone was filled with a little excitement.
Song Yunzheng turned on his phone's location services and saw a red dot very close to him on the screen. He couldn't help but smile, his brows full of tenderness.
"Okay, I'll wait for your surprise."
"Good girl."
Just after 5:30, Lin Yue walked out of the coffee shop, turned around and looked at herself in the glass door to see if her hair was messy or her makeup was smudged. Only after confirming that she was in good condition did she turn around and walk into the hospital.
I took the elevator directly to the obstetrics and gynecology department and easily found his office.
Just as she was about to raise her hand to knock on the door, the door opened from the inside. Lin Yue's hand froze in mid-air, slightly stunned, thinking, "Are we so in sync? He knew she was here before she even knocked."
The office lights shone on her the moment the door opened, revealing her fair, translucent skin and luscious red lips. She was stunning at first glance, with a beauty that was almost aggressive, making it impossible to look away.
“surprise…” Lin Yue raised her hands above her head and made a heart shape with her hands, her eyebrows curving, looking both innocent and alluring.
Song Yunzheng had never seen her like this before; she was as passionate as a sunflower, bright and moving, inspiring longing in everyone, and for a moment he was mesmerized.
