Tonghua was so embarrassed that she didn't dare look at him and her words were stammering: "You, why can't I open my door suddenly?"
Qin Zun did not step forward to check the door, but walked slowly towards Tonghua with a strong sense of aggression in his eyes. Tonghua also retreated step by step with his pace until there was no room for retreat.
"I locked the door."
Tonghua met his gaze in confusion: "Why?"
"We are husband and wife, so we naturally have to sleep in the same bed. Otherwise, what if you run away again?"
"But we..."
"Don't bother saying buts. Even if you come up with ten thousand excuses, don't even think about escaping from my grasp!"
Qin Zun took Tonghua's hand and walked towards his room. As they got closer and closer to the bed in the middle of the room, Tonghua's heart started pounding and the temperature on her face grew hotter.
What if...should she resist or not?
Tonghua was thinking about all sorts of random things in her mind, but unexpectedly, after Qin Zun pulled her to the bed, he turned around and went to the bathroom alone.
Tonghua was stunned by this sudden situation. When Qin Zun was about to enter the bathroom, he seemed to remember something and turned to Tonghua and said, "I'm going to change my clothes now. Don't think about taking the opportunity to run away. It's useless!"
When Qin Zun came out of the bathroom, Tonghua saw him wearing a neatly wrapped bathrobe, and realized that he had not meant that just now, and that she had just imagined it.
The face that was a little conflicted and shy just now suddenly became expressionless. He directly lifted the quilt, lay down, turned sideways, and faced the empty side. The whole action was clean and neat, without a trace of emotion.
After Qin Zun lay down, he stretched out his long arms and pulled Tonghua into his arms. Tonghua was about to struggle, but he stopped her with a word: "Be good, let me hold you for a while. I haven't had a good sleep in a long time without you."
There was a fatigue in his words that had not been revealed during the day. Tonghua was surprised to realize that he had indeed been busy all day. In the morning, he rushed to Chen's house to see her, and then took a two-hour car ride. After returning, he immediately accompanied her to the supermarket to buy groceries. In the evening, he cooked for her himself. Even in the only free time in the car, he was busy handling official business.
He hardly got a good rest throughout the day.
At this moment, Tonghua's anger had mostly subsided, leaving only heartache. She nestled obediently in Qin Zun's arms, allowing Qin Zun to sleep peacefully.
the next day
The early morning sun pierced through the darkness, and Qin Zun woke up first. After a while, he felt the warmth in his arms and looked into his arms.
At this moment, Fairy Tale is sleeping, with her whole little face flushed from sleep. She looks so adorable that people want to take a big bite of her. Her hair, which was so well-behaved and smooth during the day, is now mostly tangled together, giving it a messy and natural beauty.
I don’t know if it was because she felt Qin Zun’s burning gaze, but Tonghua slowly woke up. She slowly opened her eyes, with a hint of confusion in her eyes from just waking up.
"Are you awake?"
The man's lazy and magnetic voice, unique to the morning, came to her ears, followed by a warm kiss that passed over her forehead.
Tonghua opened her mouth slightly, caught off guard by this situation. She tilted her head slightly and looked at the man on the upper left. Qin Zun touched her head again and said lovingly: "I'm going to the company to deal with some business first. It's still early now, you can sleep a little longer."
After saying that, he carefully tucked the quilt beside her to prevent the wind from coming in.
After Qin Zun left, Tonghua couldn't sleep alone. Thinking that she still had things to do, she got up immediately.
She came to Tong's house alone, and she didn't know how her father was doing after being away from home for so long.
But when she stood outside the door and knocked for a long time, no one answered. She called her father, but no one answered either. In desperation, Tonghua had to ask the old neighbors in the community about the situation.
After asking, she found out that her father and his family had moved away a long time ago, and now there was no one living in the Tong family's house. This surprised Tong Hua. They had lived here for more than 20 years, so why did they move suddenly?
Tonghua immediately called Qin Zun and asked him if he knew about her father's situation. Qin Zun immediately turned down his work and rushed to her side.
When Qin Zun arrived, he saw Tonghua sitting alone on a bench in the park.
Qin Zun walked over and said to her, "I arranged the move. I know where your father-in-law is. I'll take you to see him now, but I hope you can prepare yourself mentally."
Upon hearing this, Tonghua's heart skipped a beat. She got into the car with Qin Zun anxiously. After Qin Zun took her to a high-end nursing home, her ominous premonition became stronger and stronger.
Qin Zun: "I want to see the patient in room 201."
Qin Zun took out a business card and handed it to the nurse at the front desk. After seeing it, the nurse immediately arranged for someone to take them in.
When the nurse opened the door and Tonghua saw a familiar figure on the hospital bed, she couldn't bear it any longer.
Tonghua suddenly threw herself on the bed, crying and asking, "Dad, what's wrong with you? Dad, look at me!"
She saw Tong's father wearing a loose hospital gown, sitting on the hospital bed with a dull look in his eyes. His hair was mostly gray, and he looked much thinner.
Tonghua called him many times, but Tong's father didn't respond at all.
Qin Zun looked at Tonghua worriedly, his tone heavy: "Since you left, your father-in-law didn't know about your departure, but after a long time, you couldn't hide it anymore, so I told him about it. Your father-in-law became more and more depressed, drinking at home all day to drown his sorrows. Your stepmother came to me many times because of this, so I arranged a new place for them to live. But I didn't expect your father-in-law to be alone at home. After getting drunk, he accidentally fell to the ground and hurt his head..."
When Tonghua heard that it was because of her that her father became what he was now, her guilt reached its peak.
She sat on the edge of the bed and kept calling Tong Chengsheng, but the latter did not respond at all and still looked ahead with empty eyes.
When the visiting time was up and Tonghua had to leave the nursing home, she was still very disappointed and kept saying, "I didn't expect that my leaving would cause such a big blow to my father. I always thought he didn't care about me that much..."
Qin Zun held her hand tightly and said, "Although sometimes father-in-law doesn't do well enough, it seems from this incident that he still loves you very much. If father-in-law is still sober now, he certainly doesn't want to see you blaming yourself for this matter!"
From then on, Tonghua took time out every day to visit Tong Chengsheng in the nursing home, and Qin Zun would also try his best to make time to accompany her.
