Chapter 203 She Begins to Make Demands of Him
They didn't go to bed too late that night, but when Li Yansheng came out of the bathroom holding Lin Shutang, it was already past one o'clock, which was not too late compared to usual.
After taking a shower, Lin Shutang relaxed all over and felt sleepy.
She couldn't open her eyes. Before she fell asleep, she heard Li Yansheng say, "Something happened in Gangcheng. I need to go there. I'll leave tomorrow morning."
Her head was hazy, she seemed to have heard it clearly, but also seemed not to have heard it clearly, but she still said, "Okay."
The next morning, when Lin Shutang woke up, it was already past ten o'clock.
She opened her eyes and turned her head to see that the seat beside her was empty. She reached out and felt it, but there was no residual warmth, which meant that he must have been gone for a long time. Feeling something pressing on her stomach, Lin Shutang looked over and saw Little Bread lying there obediently.
After the first-floor room was set up, Bread slept in it. Aunt Lu wouldn't put it in the master bedroom, so it was obvious who brought it here so early in the morning.
So, Lin Shutang propped himself up and sat up, scooped the cat into his arms, and ran his hand along its smooth fur as he spoke: "Mianbao, was it Dad who brought you up here? Did he go to work?"
The only response was a cat's meow.
Lin Shutang played with the cat on the bed for a while. When she got out of bed to wash up, she saw the ornaments on the bedside table. They were the ones she had brought back from Hong Kong City. Memories came back to her. She remembered that before going to bed last night, Li Yansheng seemed to have said that he was going to Hong Kong City this morning.
At 11 o'clock in the morning, Lin Shutang received a call from Li Yansheng.
"Are you up?"
He should be outside, and he could hear people talking around him.
Lin Shutang chewed something and replied, "Hmm...did you just arrive?"
"I've been here for a while. Now I'm going out to eat."
Then, after a muffled "bang", the surrounding sounds were isolated. He must have gotten into the car.
On weekdays, Li Yansheng would not go out to eat if she was not at the company, so Lin Shutang asked, "With a business partner?"
"Um."
Thinking of how he had gotten drunk several times at social gatherings before, Lin Shutang casually reminded him: "Then drink less."
After he finished speaking, the other end of the line fell silent. After a long while, Lin Shutang heard the person on the other end of the line chuckle and then said, "Okay."
Li Yansheng was relieved when the little girl began to ask him to do things. This showed that the wounds in her heart were slowly healing, bit by bit.
She had lived under someone else's roof for too long, and the Feng family had exploited her so much, which had made her very sensitive. After they got together, she had basically made no demands on him, and he was the one who made most of the decisions in their lives.
Perhaps because she had been taken advantage of before, she felt very insecure. The most obvious manifestation of this was that she would not ask for anything and would repeatedly confirm whether he loved her or not.
To describe it in the current Internet terms, it means that she has a subconscious sense of unworthiness, so she will be cautious, not make any demands, and will repeatedly confirm whether others' kindness to her is sincere and whether they really love her.
Li Yansheng didn't feel annoyed by Lin Shutang like this, but rather distressed. He had never imagined that he would one day develop such feelings and emotions for a girl. Now he just hoped that she could slowly move on.
At her age, she shouldn't be trapped by past experiences or worry about those things. What she should be worrying about is what to eat every morning, noon and night, and where to travel after graduation.
The call stopped, and seeing his boss in a good mood in the rearview mirror, Fan Sizhu was no longer surprised.
He has become accustomed to such scenes. Most of the time, it is like this after the boss talks to Miss Lin. There seems to be no exception in his memory.
