Chapter 84 Chapter 84 Care
Li Jinglang hasn't looked at the stars for a long time, or it has been a long time since he had the free time to stop.
He always felt that he was always busy, but in his haste he made many mistakes, and he was pursuing many things that were out of his grasp. It seemed difficult for him to calm down in the ups and downs of life.
Tang Ningyue was lying in the middle of the bed, while Li Jinglang was sitting on the edge of the bed, illuminated by a beam of moonlight. The room was so quiet that even the sound of breathing could be heard.
Faint shadows lay on the ground, two people overlapping.
After entering the room, Tang Ningyue calmed down and stopped making noise. She just leaned on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
It's very strange. The atmosphere between the two of them is always so strange. It seems that they can't get along like other ordinary friends, but they can't be lovers either. They always torture and entangle each other.
Li Jinglang lowered his head, feeling very depressed. The things he forced himself to get time and time again tortured him to pieces. He didn't know if what he did was right or whether he should continue.
He was in a daze for a long time, until Tang Ningyue turned over and rested her head on his arm.
She raised her arm to her forehead and tugged at his sleeve in a daze.
"What's wrong?"
Li Jinglang responded to her immediately and leaned closer.
"water..."
"Lean on me." Li Jinglang had already prepared lemon water in the health pot and was silently waiting for her to wake up.
He didn't call her because he was worried that she would get angry and ask him to leave once she woke up and saw him. He didn't want to do that. He wanted to stay with her, even in such a humble way.
"I don't want to drink this." Tang Ningyue shook her head and refused.
Knowing that she didn't like it, Li Jinglang still put the straw in her mouth, smoothed her hair, gently hugged her and patted her back to comfort her.
Li Jinglang learned this trick from Zhou Su. In the past, when Tang Ningyue had a fever and refused to take medicine, Zhou Su would coax her in this way. Every time, she would be greedy for this warmth and keep snuggling into Zhou Su's arms.
“....”
After drinking half a glass of water, Tang Ningyue lay down drowsily again, and the phone next to her pillow lit up several times.
Maybe Zhou Yuhe couldn't find anyone over there.
He must be like an ant on the hot pan now. Li Jinglang watched her phone screen light up and go out in silence.
But Zhou Yuhe will definitely find her, it's just a matter of time.
Li Jinglang hesitated for a while, but when the screen lit up again, he picked up his phone and walked out the door.
"Hello? Yue'er? Where are you? Why didn't you answer the phone? I've asked the hotel staff to check the surveillance footage."
Zhou Yuhe was so anxious that he wanted to jump out of the phone.
"Hello?"
As soon as Li Jinglang's voice came out, the person on the other side was obviously stunned.
"Li Jinglang?" Zhou Yuhe's tone became worse and his attitude became harsh. The two of them had already torn their faces apart, so there was no need to show any mercy.
"What do you want to do?" Zhou Yuhe only hated himself for leaving Li Jinglang an opportunity. He should have protected her well.
"Why is her cell phone with you? Where did you take her?" Listening to Zhou Yuhe's angry voice, Li Jinglang was not moved at all. He didn't even feel proud of winning a battle. He just felt annoyed.
In the animal world, males are always proud of winning battles and being qualified to have sex. However, after humans become advanced animals, they always use various excuses to cover up their primitive desires for the sake of decency.
But at the moment, Li Jinglang was extremely fed up with this kind of fight. He just wanted a little time to be with her, but he didn't know when that would become a luxury.
"I haven't gone anywhere. I'm still here." Li Jinglang spoke the truth. His calm attitude was in sharp contrast to the person opposite him.
"What do you want to do?"
"Your people arrived too late. She can't hold on. I'll send her to rest first."
“....”
Zhou Yuhe sighed: "Do you know she's married? How long are you going to keep pestering her?"
The person on the other end of the phone was furious. Li Jinglang suddenly laughed, finding it ridiculous. "Pester? Fine, if that's the case, then I'll pester you until you break up."
"Also," Li Jinglang paused, "you just held a formal engagement party. You haven't gotten married yet, so don't speak too soon."
"You'd better not do anything, Li Jinglang." Zhou Yuhe took a deep breath. "I've already sent someone over. If you do anything, I'll call the police immediately."
“....”
As soon as he finished speaking, the person Zhou Yuhe was talking about came up from the revolving elevator.
"The one with the buzz cut, is he her previous assistant?" Li Jinglang was frivolous and didn't take Zhou Yuhe seriously.
"What do you want to do?"
Zhou Yuhe's voice was almost distorted, and he wished he could go back to China right now to tear Li Jinglang to pieces.
"Didn't you ask someone to pick her up? I'll open the door for you."
“....”
Zhou Yuhe forced himself to calm down. He didn't know what Li Jinglang was up to, so he could only wait for news from his assistant. He couldn't lose his composure.
Li Jinglang had seen this staff member before, and he even took Li Jinglang to the hospital once.
"Wang Zu." Li Jinglang still remembered him.
"Jinglang." Wang Xi turned in from the entrance and met Li Jinglang's eyes.
Obviously, Wang Xi was not aware of the grudge between them, but that was normal. After all, Tang Ningyue was a decent person in public.
"Why are you here?"
"My sister drank too much, so I came to pick her up." Li Jinglang spoke ambiguously, deliberately concealing the information.
I have to admit that he was just as despicable when he was being a jealous husband.
"That..."
"Do you want to go in and see her?"
"If you're here... wait a moment, I'll take a call." Wang Xi gestured, and the caller on the screen was anxiously waiting for his signal.
"Please."
Li Jinglang leaned against the wall with his arms crossed, looking like a good guy.
Wang Xi turned sideways to answer the phone, his brows gradually furrowed, he whispered a few words, and finally made a few assurances. When he turned around, Li Jinglang was still leaning against the door playing with his mobile phone.
He looked calm and composed, but he was actually extremely nervous. His fingers slid back and forth on the screen, not knowing what he was looking at. He just held his breath and listened carefully to the movement.
"Then I'll take Mr. Tang back." Wang Xi said this to him as he passed by.
He is just a worker who follows orders. Li Jinglang has no reason not to cooperate with his work. The only evil ones are the capitalists.
Li Jinglang didn't say anything, he just raised his eyelids and nodded, his movements light and casual as if he didn't care about anything.
People are always unnatural when they lie. The more he acts like he doesn't care, the more strange it is. How could this good brother of someone's family agree so easily without even saying a word of courtesy?
But Wang Xi had already gone in, so it was of no use. Li Jinglang had to turn his head away and pretend not to care.
"Mr. Tang."
Wang Xi half-knelt beside the bed and called softly.
“....”
Tang Ningyue is already fast asleep. If you wake her up and take her away now, you might end up with something bad.
Wang Xi stood up and walked out of the room. He walked to the door and looked at Li Jinglang, then went to the entrance to talk.
He was in a really difficult situation. Zhou Yuhe demanded that the person must be taken away, and this person was already unconscious.
If he just listened to Zhou Yuhe, Tang Ningyue would definitely be angry when she woke up. She has always been unwilling to accept arrangements made by others.
The difficulty is that he is stuck in the middle, neither being a human being nor a human being.
When Zhou Yuhe emphasized it again and again and the others followed him downstairs, Wang Xi had no choice but to go in again.
Li Jinglang's heart was in his throat. He just turned his head slightly and saw the group of people waiting at the door downstairs. They even brought a change of clothes with them, as if they were afraid that Tang Ningyue would lose her composure after drinking.
As if blessed by heaven, Wang Xi struggled inside for a while, but Tang Ningyue refused to cooperate. She struggled to push him away and shouted, "Get out!"
"Who are you?"
"I'm Wang Xi, Mr. Tang."
Wang Xi was sweating profusely, afraid of offending others and afraid of failing to complete the work.
"Don't touch me! Get away!"
The situation inside was getting bigger, and it sounded even more strange outside.
Li Jinglang finally threw his cell phone into his pocket and strode in.
"What's wrong?"
Li Jinglang asked knowingly, only to see Tang Ningyue lying on the edge of the bed with her eyes half closed.
He reached out and pulled her into his arms, patting her back and coaxing her softly.
"It's okay... I'm here."
"Go to sleep."
As if she had finally calmed down, Tang Ningyue leaned in his arms and closed her eyes. She had drunk too much today and felt dizzy and unwell all over.
Maybe it’s because I haven’t drunk alcohol for a long time, and my body can’t accept it suddenly.
“....”
In fact, Wang Xi had only met Li Jinglang many times. Most of the time, he only heard Li Jinglang's name from Tang Ningyue.
In his impression, Li Jinglang was just a less sensible little brother of Tang Ningyue.
Looking at it now, it seems to be just Tang Ningyue's subjective conjecture.
"I..."
Wang Xi looked at Li Jinglang awkwardly. He was sweating all over in the windy day.
"Let me carry her down."
"....ah?"
"Didn't your Mr. Zhou insist that she go back?"
"Thank you for your help."
Wang Xi really didn't expect Li Jinglang to be such a kind and sensible person. He was just embarrassed by Zhou Yuhe's verbal orders just now without explaining the reason, so Wang Xi really had no choice.
"Thank goodness you're here."
When going downstairs, Wang Xi was still thanking him.
Li Jinglang did not feel at ease accepting the thanks. If the conversation between him and Zhou Yuhe just now was brought up, Wang Xi's face would probably be red.
After finally getting the person into the car, Wang Xi stood outside awkwardly and exchanged a few words with Li Jinglang.
"You also use this perfume. It seems to be quite hard to buy." He had only smelled this scent on Tang Ningyue before.
He was just making small talk, but Li Jinglang avoided her gaze unnaturally and responded in a sullen tone.
"Let's go."
Li Jinglang walked around the car and prepared to sit in the front seat.
"Then take the other car and I'll take you back."
“....”
Li Jinglang pursed his lips, finally getting impatient. "Which of you can take care of her when I'm not here?"
“....”
