Chapter 23 I Miss My Mom
The plane flew away in another direction.
Li Yanzhou held her waist and pulled her into the car without giving her a chance to refuse. "Let's go."
He knew perfectly well why she was so upset.
He had seen everything that had just happened.
Tsk, poor thing.
Like an abandoned kitten.
But from now on, it will be his little cat all by himself.
Thinking of this, the corners of the man's mouth involuntarily curled up slightly.
In the car, Luo Tingwei didn't say a word. Li Yanzhou knew she wanted to be alone for a while, so he ignored her.
Back at the villa, Li Yanzhou even made an exception and let her play on her phone for three hours.
I opened my social media app, and there were already 99+ messages.
Luo Tingwei lay in bed and chose to make a video call directly.
The call was answered instantly.
"My God, Miss, are you back from the dead?" came the woman's exaggerated and surprised voice.
"..."
"She's not dead, she's alive." Luo Tingwei sighed.
"Why didn't you reply to the more than fifty messages I sent you?" Cen An'an almost shouted.
"Is it possible that I won't be able to reply? I just got my phone back today."
No one could imagine what she had gone through during those days.
...
Cen An'an was stunned for a moment, "Then... are you still going back to America?"
"There's no going back."
"You're really in deep trouble this time." After understanding the whole story, Cen An'an was ashamed. "I advised you not to get involved in anything in your father's circle, but you didn't listen. You insisted on going to Switzerland to attend some conference, and you even acted like a princess, provoking people you shouldn't have. Now look what's happened. They've held a grudge for three years, and now they've come to get their revenge on you."
Luo Tingwei was unconvinced and couldn't help but argue, "Who told him to be so bold back then, trying to seduce me?"
Cen An'an narrowed her eyes and became gossipy, "Is he handsome?"
"..."
"Why aren't you saying anything? It doesn't look good."
Luo Tingwei paused for a moment, then said tactfully, "Not ugly."
Cen An'an knew her standards and immediately understood.
"Damn, what a handsome guy! You're not losing out. Why don't you just go for it? Let me tell you, there are fewer and fewer decent men in San Francisco these days. I'm even thinking of moving to New York next year..."
"Stop, Cen, you lovesick fool, how about we switch places? Do you want this good fortune?"
"No, I'm not stupid." Cen An'an thought for a moment, then asked curiously, "Then what are you two doing now? Aren't you dating?"
Three words flashed through Luo Tingwei's mind: "canary".
"Um, do you think he likes you?"
"I like... sleeping with you." She gave a self-deprecating laugh.
"..."
“That’s still liking him.” Cen An’an tried to comfort her. “Weiwei, negotiate with him. Don’t be a caged bird. That’s too humiliating. Since he wants to keep you by his side, you have to have a proper relationship.”
Luo Tingwei immediately thought it was impossible. "Forget it. What right do I have to talk to him now? He would never agree. He doesn't even like me. He just wants to humiliate me and get revenge for what happened back then."
After saying that, she added, "I don't like him either."
I don't like anything here.
The bedroom door was ajar.
Luo Tingwei glanced guiltily at the door and lowered her voice slightly, "There are bodyguards and servants here all day long. It's like everyone is watching me. It's so annoying. I don't want to see them."
"Li Yanzhou's room has a cold color scheme, which looks very depressing. The room is also large and spacious, which makes people feel cold."
"By the way, the food here isn't as good as Uncle Zhong's cooking..."
Luo Tingwei listed out her grievances about the place one by one.
She really misses her pink little bedroom.
After making the phone call and venting her frustrations, Luo Tingwei felt better.
At that moment, Huo Zhizhou's message suddenly popped up.
"My uncle is doing well. I have already sent people to escort him to Coconut Grove Island."
Coconut Grove Island?
Luo Tingwei was stunned. Why would she suddenly go there?
Didn't Dad go to your place?
"No, my uncle insisted on going to Coconut Grove Island for recuperation."
Huo Zhizhou reassured him, "Don't worry, that place is very safe. It was acquired by a mysterious family a few years ago, and Li Yanzhou can't get his hands on it."
"That's good."
She felt a little relieved.
It seems that my father's matter can be put to rest for now.
Next comes myself; I need to find a way to get out of this mess.
"Cousin, please save me, I really don't want to stay here."
Huo Zhizhou was also in a dilemma. "Now, Black City is full of Li Yanzhou's spies. If we want to get you out, we need to plan carefully."
What should I do?
"If you can get him to take you away from Black City, things will be simpler. I'll find a way to send someone to pick you up and bring you to my side. I doubt he'll dare to cause trouble on my island."
However, this is simply impossible.
Luo Tingwei knew very well that it would be difficult for her to even leave this villa, let alone ask him to let her leave Black City.
Huo Zhizhou pondered for a moment, then his tone suddenly became serious.
"Weiwei, I remember that Aunt's death anniversary is coming up soon, isn't it?"
She was taken aback.
Having been tormented here for so long, Luo Tingwei had even forgotten her mother's death anniversary, and a wave of sorrow washed over her.
My mother passed away seven years ago and was buried on Fiege Island.
"Besides, the Luoshen Festival is in a few days. Try to persuade him to let you come back to sweep the tomb. If he is not at ease, it is fine for him to follow you. I have my own way."
Luo Tingwei's heart stirred slightly, and she wiped her eyes.
Li Yanzhou probably doesn't know about her relationship with Huo Zhizhou.
If he had any humanity left, he should have shown mercy and let her go to sweep her mother's grave.
Luo Tingwei decided to gamble on his humanity.
She looked out the window, and suddenly a sliver of light shone through the previously overcast sky.
**
That night.
Luo Tingwei behaved very well.
The two fell asleep peacefully.
In the middle of the night, it started to drizzle.
"Mom, Mom, don't go..."
"I miss you so much, Mom."
"No...no! Ah!"
Luo Tingwei woke up with a start, tears still wet on her face, her whole body trembling violently.
Li Yanzhou also woke up, his eyes still sleepy, and looked at the woman beside him. He subconsciously put his arm around her and asked, "What's wrong, Weiwei?"
After he finished speaking, he himself felt that something seemed off.
But it was too late.
Luo Tingwei was also taken aback.
But quickly, she calmed herself down, put on a sorrowful expression, and spoke in a pitiful voice.
"I dreamt about my mom. I miss her so much, sob sob sob."
Li Yanzhou knew her mother had passed away, and patted her shoulder reassuringly, his voice still carrying the languidness of someone who had just woken up.
"Cry if you want to, then go to sleep."
Luo Tingwei, “???”
The man yawned and pinched her cheek again.
"Would you like some water? Your voice is hoarse."
"..."
Seeing that he remained unmoved, she decided to stand her ground and fight him to the end.
"Li Yanzhou, I miss my mom."
"so?"
"The end of this month is the anniversary of my mother's death." She forced herself to continue, her voice becoming pitiful and weak again.
"Can you let me go and sweep her grave?"
Will you come back after you've finished sweeping?
The next second, the man's cold voice rang out.
