Chapter 392 Chapter 392 Hesitant to Speak
After a while, Shen Qinghuan parked the car downstairs of Li Meng's house.
The dim street lights on the side of the road shone into the small compartment through the windshield, making the bright little face look even softer. She frowned slightly, and the worry in her eyes almost overflowed.
At this moment, Shen Qinghuan suddenly couldn't make up his mind whether to get off the car and look for Li Meng.
Just like Xu Dongyao said, Li Meng suddenly didn't want to talk about it, so how could she bring it up? She had no way of bringing up this kind of thing. If she did, it would just expose her scars.
But if it was really as she suspected, the kidnapper behind the scenes might use the same old tricks again, or maybe... he would even go further! In the end, the only one who would get hurt would be Li Meng.
"Are you still going up to look for her?"
Seeing that Shen Qinghuan was still hesitant, Xu Dongyao, who was sitting in the passenger seat, asked her.
Shen Qinghuan shook her head, pulled the corner of her mouth helplessly and said: "Actually, I don't know whether I should go up to her. Since she chose to hide it from all of us, then no matter how much I say to her now, she won't admit it. Why should I tear her scars with my own hands?"
Xu Dongyao looked at Shen Qinghuan with a bitter smile on his face, and suddenly didn't know what to say.
"Do you know what I am most worried about now?" Shen Qinghuan turned her head to look at Xu Dongyao.
Xu Dongyao was stunned for a moment, a look of suspicion flashing in his eyes, "What are you worried about?"
Shen Qinghuan took a deep breath, placed both hands on the steering wheel, and frowned tightly. "I'm worried that the mastermind behind this will repeat his old tricks and find another opportunity to kidnap Li Meng."
Xu Dongyao looked at her in astonishment. Obviously, he had not thought of this possibility before. Following Shen Qinghuan's thoughts, it was very likely that the mastermind behind the scenes would use the same trick again.
"Then, shall we go up and take a look together?"
"Um!"
…
Li Meng didn't go anywhere all day.
After Shi Beichuan left home, she went to the bedroom to sleep and lay in bed all day without eating or drinking until Shi Beichuan came back from outside around six o'clock in the evening.
He went to the kitchen.
The furnishings in the kitchen were exactly the same as when he left in the morning, nothing had been moved, which meant that Li Meng either went out and didn't come home, or she didn't cook for herself.
Shi Beichuan went to the study to take another look.
The study was empty, with no one in it.
Finally, all that was left was the bedroom with its door tightly closed.
He strode over, grasped the door handle with his broad hand, and pressed it down gently.
The bedroom door slowly opened, and Shi Beichuan walked in. When he raised his eyes, he saw Li Meng lying on her back on the bed with her eyes open. He was suddenly startled, and a sense of uneasiness inexplicably welled up in his heart.
"It's already past six o'clock, why are you still asleep?"
Shi Beichuan frowned, his tone not so good. He was still a little angry about what happened last night. He couldn't understand why she didn't tell him that she had already returned home. In this way, he wouldn't have to look for her outside all night.
Li Meng heard the impatience in his tone and struggled to sit up from the bed.
She raised her head and looked at Shi Beichuan with a gloomy look in her eyes.
Seeing that Li Meng didn't reply to her, Shi Beichuan's face became even worse. He thought she was still angry about what happened in his house last night. He had already apologized to her in the car last night.
Secretly suppressing his dissatisfaction and helplessness, Shi Beichuan said patiently: "Mengmeng, tell me, how can you calm down? You beat me up, or scold me harshly."
Li Meng was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled, "I don't blame you, nor am I angry."
"If you weren't angry, why did you lie in bed for most of the day? Didn't you even have lunch?" Shi Beichuan walked forward and pulled her into his arms.
Li Meng's body trembled, her expression changed instantly, and she subconsciously wanted to reach out and push him away.
Beichuan was quick to grab her hands and held her tightly against his chest. "Wife, you are not alone now. You are pregnant with a baby. If you don't eat, won't the baby in your belly be hungry too?"
Li Meng felt a little touched.
She lowered her head, her eyes focused on her flat belly.
After a while, she looked up at Shi Beichuan again, her mouth slightly opened, as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself.
Shi Beichuan didn't notice the emotions on Li Meng's face. He was just worried that she hadn't eaten all day and how her body could handle it!
"Honey, I'm sorry! I apologize to you. No matter if it's me or my parents, please don't be angry, okay? I'll go to the kitchen to make you something to eat. If you're still sleepy, you can sleep a little longer. If you're not sleepy, get up and take a walk."
Shi Beichuan didn't ask her to forgive him, he just asked her not to be angry.
Li Meng lowered her eyes, her thick eyelashes trembled slightly, and a burst of moisture filled her eyes.
"Beichuan!"
She suddenly called out to him.
Shi Beichuan was stunned for a moment. Just as he was about to get up and go to the kitchen to cook, Li Meng grabbed the corner of his clothes again.
He raised his hand, gently touched her forehead with his warm palm, and said with a smile: "What's wrong? Are you reluctant to let me leave? I'm not far away, I'm in the kitchen. If you can't bear to leave, you can come with me."
Meeting those gentle eyes, Li Meng felt a tightness in her chest. She clenched her fingertips tightly and opened her mouth slightly, but she couldn't utter a word.
She wanted to say that she didn't come back last night, that Li Cheng had someone kidnap her, and that Li Cheng had also...
Seeing Li Meng hesitate to speak, Shi Beichuan frowned, "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Li Meng quickly shook her head but didn't say anything in the end.
But she knew that the truth would come out sooner or later, and Li Cheng would not let her go.
She wanted to call the police, but once such a thing became public, how would others view Shi Beichuan?
There is also the Shi family behind Shi Beichuan. They have always rejected her and looked down on her. Once the other people in Beichuan know what happened last night, she and Shi Beichuan will never be together again.
Shi Beichuan's cooking skills were not very good, so the dinner he made was very simple. He cooked the simplest tomato and egg noodles. This was taught to him by Li Meng, and he had learned about 70% of it. The taste was not delicious, but it was not bad either.
"Honey, how about the tomato and egg noodles I made?"
It was a rare opportunity for Shi Beichuan to cook, so he quickly asked Li Meng for praise.
Li Meng curled her lips to hide the sadness in her heart, and said in a pretentious and cheerful tone, "If the full score is 100, I'll give you 99! I gave you one point less than the full score, so I left you room for improvement."
Shi Beichuan couldn't believe it and looked at Li Meng suspiciously, "Is it really that delicious?"
Li Meng: “Of course it’s delicious.”
Shi Beichuan didn't believe it, so he took a bite of the noodles with his chopsticks and said, "!! Is it possible that we don't have to spend money to buy salt at home? This is too salty. I have to drink a sip of water after eating a mouthful of noodles.
