Half-asleep, Xu Mengyu felt something warm on her cheeks and below her. She was so sleepy, so she touched it with her eyes closed. Xu Lu had wet the bed...
She opened her eyes and turned her head. Zheng Tianming was lying on his side, his elbows against the bed, his sword-like eyebrows slightly raised, and his thin lips pursed.
Seeing that he was about to speak, Xu Mengyu put her hand to her lips and made a "shh" gesture, then pointed to indicate that Zheng Tianming should go down first.
Xu Lu was both surprised and frightened, and he was also extremely tired. Otherwise, he would never have wet the bed. Xu Mengyu moved him to another position.
Zheng Tianming hugged Xu Mengyu from behind, his voice low: "Shall we have a good talk?"
He really didn't know what to do; everything had happened so suddenly.
Xu Mengyu turned around, her cool fingertips landing on his well-developed muscles. She knew that once Zheng Tianming saw Xu Lu, he would definitely try to soften his stance, but she would not use the child to bind a man.
If he doesn't love her, but only because she gave birth to their child, then that love won't last long. His guilt will gradually fade with time, and then their love will cease to exist.
Before giving birth to Xiao Lu, she was very clear about what she would face in the future, and she never thought of using the child to make Zheng Tianming admit his mistakes and apologize to her.
Zheng Tianming grasped Xu Mengyu's hand: "I will do my best to take good care of you and your child."
"Since that's the case, why don't you think carefully now about how to take good care of me?" Xu Mengyu said, raising her head, her beautiful peach blossom eyes filled with endless tenderness and charm.
Zheng Tianming held Xu Mengyu in his arms, his tall frame bending down. The little vixen's meaning was easy to understand: if she wanted to use him, then let her...
Xu Mengyu sat on the washbasin, one hand supporting her on the countertop, the other hand holding Zheng Tianming's head, her cheeks flushed.
Zheng Tianming knelt down and kissed her small mouth; he was much gentler than before...
When you fill a thermos with water, you need to use a cup cover, otherwise it will be too hot to handle.
Zheng Tianming ran his large hand through Xu Mengyu's black hair, gently touching the back of her head, his voice low and husky: "Young Miss..."
Xu Mengyu chuckled. It would be strange if he could even fit into it. The anti-scalding cup covers provided by the hotel were completely useless; he needed an extra-large one.
"What's the rush?" Xu Mengyu didn't like to "drink" water from a thermos. Except for the last time when Zheng Tianming forced her to "drink," she would only "drink" from it.
A thin layer of sweat appeared on Zheng Tianming's forehead.
Although it wasn't quite right, it was passable. Zheng Tianming's breathing was unsteady, and his voice was deep.
Xu Mengyu wrapped her arms around Zheng Tianming's neck, their lips meeting, a bitter feeling spreading through her heart. This was their last time...
The thermos fell into the water, and when I picked it up, there was a "faint" splashing sound.
Xu Mengyu's mind went blank, and her heart pounded like a drum. Their body sizes were so different that they created a very strong visual contrast.
She was swaying all over.
When Xu Mengyu returned to bed, it was already dawn. Zheng Tianming went out for a smoke and when he came back, all that was left was Xu Lu's urinal. He took a bath towel and placed it on top of it.
Xu Lu's face was flushed from sleeping. In his dream, he had a father and a mother. He was the happiest child. His mother was playing the piano, his father was drinking coffee in the yard, and he was sitting at the table doing his homework.
Suddenly, a dark figure entered the room, grabbed his arm, and tried to pull him out. No matter how much he shouted, it was no use; his father and mother seemed not to hear him.
He opened his mouth and shouted as fast as he could.
Hearing the faint crying, Zheng Tianming reached out and gently patted Xu Lu's shoulder through Xu Mengyu. He hadn't expected that the five bodyguards could be so useless. From now on, he would protect the mother and child closely.
He would personally send anyone who tried to harm them to their doom.
By the dim light of the bedside lamp, he looked at the two people beside him, one big and one small. He never dreamed that she would give birth to his child, and he still felt like it was all unreal.
She's so delicate, afraid of pain, and a big star, yet she had to keep it a secret from her elders...
If she had told him earlier, he would have postponed his military service and stayed to take care of her and the child, taking on the responsibilities of being a father and husband. But she was angry with him and refused to tell him. If it weren't for this unexpected turn of events, he might never have known that he had a son until he was old.
Zheng Tianming gently kissed Xu Mengyu on the cheek. It seemed that his plan to marry her would have to be brought forward. He had previously thought that with the young lady's temper, he would have to pursue her for at least three to five years.
After all, she likes to hold grudges.
At noon, Xu Lu woke up and sat on the bed rubbing his sore eyes. He turned his head and saw that Xu Mengyu was still sleeping, so he tucked her in and quietly got out of bed.
There were new clothes prepared by the bed. He had just put them on when the door opened. He looked over warily and saw his father, who was not recognized by his mother. He smiled and said, "Good morning, Uncle Zheng."
Zheng Tianming placed the breakfast on the table: "Are you a picky eater?"
"Uncle Zheng, you're very rude. My short stature has nothing to do with being a picky eater." Xu Lu finished speaking and glared angrily at Zheng Tianming. No wonder she wasn't liked by her mother.
Zheng Tianming peeled an egg: "Call me Dad, and I'll teach you how to grow taller."
Upon hearing this, Xu Lu immediately moved closer and said, "No, Mother won't allow it." Then he sat back down.
Zheng Tianming was about to hand him the peeled egg when, after hearing what he said, he took a bite himself.
Xu Lu's hand froze in mid-air: "..."
Unreliable adults.
After finishing his meal, Zheng Tianming received a phone call. He needed to be present to confirm the completion of the case. He glanced at the person sleeping on the bed and figured they wouldn't wake up so soon.
"LuLu, your mom's awake. Tell her to call me." Zheng Tianming said, patting Xu Lu's head. "Stay in your room, don't wander off, and don't open the door for anyone."
Xu Lu nodded: "Don't worry, I won't wander around." He was terrified.
Before leaving, Zheng Tianming called his teammates and asked them to keep watch at the door, promising to treat them to a meal later.
The brothers had been wanting to meet their future sister-in-law for a long time, so they readily agreed, since it wasn't far away anyway.
Zheng Tianming drove with the window half down, glancing at his phone's location every now and then. Xu Mengyu's reaction was strange; given her personality, she wouldn't forgive him easily, much less compromise so quickly.
Even when you're in the wrong, you still have a three-tenths advantage, let alone now that you're in the right?
After Zheng Tianming arrived, he greeted the person in charge.
The two security guards would report the situation of the residents in the community to their superiors, and each of them would receive 50,000 yuan per month.
"What a mess." The middle-aged man sitting to the side took a drag of his cigarette. "We interrogated the man all night yesterday, and guess what?"
Zheng Tianming sat in a chair, smoking a cigarette: "Stop keeping me in suspense."
"The man who lives across the hall from you had a first wife who died from postpartum hemorrhage. Due to her age at the time, they weren't registered, so we couldn't find her. Later, we contacted this woman named Yuan Ping, who actually sent his daughter with his ex-wife to a den of wolves..."
Zheng Tianming raised his hand and made a stop gesture. He had a rough idea: "Keep this a secret. She will get married when she grows up. If I hear about it from someone else in the future, I will come to you."
The middle-aged man sitting next to him chuckled twice: "Don't worry, Captain Zheng, how could I be out of line? This is a case report, isn't it?"
"And the old man who lives across the hall from you, we found out he got into a car, but by the time our people arrived, he was gone." The middle-aged man said, opening the file and showing it to Zheng Tianming.
Zheng Tianming glanced at it; the seventy-year-old man had vanished into thin air. That text message from yesterday was probably sent by him too...
He will arrest him himself one day!
At this moment, Xu Mengyu was wearing an elegant little black dress, eight-centimeter high heels, and light makeup. She was holding a ballpoint pen and signing autographs for Zheng Tianming's teammates.
Xu Lu followed beside Xu Mengyu, feeling somewhat nervous. His mother said she was going to take him away and asked him to cooperate with her.
What about Uncle Zheng? Should we not take him along? Mother didn't say...
"Sister-in-law, my girlfriend really likes you. She said she'll always support you. She even got into an online argument with someone the other day." Zheng Tianming's teammate scratched the back of his head a little embarrassedly.
I never expected that the captain's wife would be Xu Mengyu, and I never expected that their child would be so grown up.
Xu Mengyu smiled slightly and handed over the postcard, which had a shiny sequin attached to it: "Thank you, I will definitely not let her down."
The matter at the studio has been mostly resolved. As for Chen Han's whereabouts, she has also spent a lot of money to find out. The reason he is so anxious for money is that he bought virtual currency abroad and cannot cover the deficit in China, so he urgently needs money.
In other words, he deliberately hired two top female stars from the very beginning, hoping to capitalize on the popularity to make money and then run away.
"Mom, I want to go downstairs to buy lollipops, hurry, hurry!" Xu Lu said, pulling Xu Mengyu's hand and shaking it back and forth, even he himself thought it was childish.
Xu Mengyu patted Xu Lu's head: "Then I'll take him downstairs to buy candy first. Tianming will be back soon; he's already on his way."
"I'll go with you," another teammate said cautiously. He had already promised the captain, and if something happened, it would be difficult to explain.
Xu Mengyu shook her head: "I'm a celebrity, it'd be too conspicuous to bring the two of you along. You wait here for me, I'll take the kids to the convenience store downstairs and buy some fruit for the way." She then pulled Xu Lu along: "Don't worry, my bodyguards are downstairs."
Xu Mengyu guessed that they were definitely there to protect her safety, not to watch over her. If that's what she said, then they had no reason to continue following her.
"Okay, sister-in-law, go and come back quickly."
Xu Lu sighed silently in her heart. Beautiful women can be deceiving! Don't they know that?
My mother lies without batting an eye, let alone being an actress...
After finishing his business, Zheng Tianming got into the car. Xu Mengyu had promised him yesterday that she would go home with him. He couldn't keep this a secret from his elders forever. As the child's father, he definitely had to give an explanation and take responsibility.
He checked his location before driving; he was still at the hotel. So he sent a message: "Miss, I'm coming back right away. Are you awake?"
His tone was much better than before.
At this moment, Xu Mengyu had already gotten into the car with Xu Lu. She had already bought plane tickets to fly abroad, as Zheng Tianming's identity prevented him from leaving the country.
Their relationship has run its course. There's no need to say goodbye verbally or act otherwise. From now on, she will focus on her career and raising her son.
Upon seeing the message, Xu Mengyu pressed the voice call button, placed her hand next to the phone, and spoke in a lazy voice, almost as if she had just woken up: "I'm awake. Go back to the neighborhood and take my computer with you. There's important data on it, and I'm too lazy to move it." Her tone even carried a hint of coquetry at the end.
If Zheng Tianming were to return to the hotel and find them gone, he might very well drive after them.
But by the time he went back to his apartment complex to get his laptop and returned to the hotel, they had already boarded the plane...
Xu Mengyu leaned back in her seat. She had liked Zheng Tianming since she was very young. He was fierce, but he would always give her the best. If anyone bullied her, he would be the first to stand up and fight them.
It would be a lie to say she wasn't upset; she had a heart of flesh and blood, but she couldn't cry in front of her child.
Xu Lu sat silently watching Xu Mengyu; her mother's eyes were so red...
After listening to the voice message, Zheng Tianming checked the location again. The location hadn't changed, meaning Xu Lu was still at the hotel. He then drove towards the residential area.
About half an hour later, Xu Mengyu arrived at the airport. She was wearing a thick mask and glasses, and a maid was carrying Xu Lu behind her.
Her reputation is already ruined; she'd better not be recognized.
Shortly after boarding the plane, Xu Mengyu received another text message from Zheng Tianming: "[Look, besides the computer, did you bring anything else?]"
Xu Mengyu: [No, I'll buy a new one when we get home.]
Zheng Tianming, carrying his computer and several sets of clothes, had just reached the entrance of the residential area when he saw Jiang Qiu carrying Yingying out of the car.
"Uncle Zheng, Mommy is Uncle Zheng." Xiaoying was overjoyed and reached out her arms for Zheng Tianming to hug her.
Seeing that the child was recovering quickly, Zheng Tianming didn't say much.
Jiang Qiu stopped and looked at Zheng Tianming: "Um, thank you for saving Xiaoying. I'll treat you and Lin Xi to dinner sometime."
After this experience, she never dared to be careless again; if it weren't for Zheng Tianming, her child would have been lost.
"No need." Zheng Tianming said and left. He would sell the house, since his mission here was complete.
Jiang Qiu watched Zheng Tianming's retreating figure. How could someone of his status possibly be interested in her? She had made a huge fool of herself.
On the way back, Zheng Tianming received a call from his teammates, who sounded extremely anxious!
Teammate: [Captain, my wife said she was taking the kids downstairs to buy candy and fruit, but she's disappeared.]
They thought it would take some time for his sister-in-law to buy things with the child. About thirty minutes later, he went downstairs to look for them, only to find that the convenience store owner had seen them get into a black car and leave long ago.
Zheng Tianming took out his phone and called Xu Mengyu, only to find that her phone was switched off: "..."
They've been tricked. No wonder she was so docile and obedient yesterday. She used them and then ran off with their son. Good for her!
