Before I finished talking to Li Yunwei, I heard a sound coming from the bedroom door. I peeked out from the bathroom and saw Su Shenglin come in.
"Weiwei, I have something to do, I'll hang up now." After telling my best friend, I turned to Su Shenglin and asked, "Are you leaving again?"
Su Shenglin took a breath, looked at me and nodded: "Yes, Muxi just called and said my dad will be home soon. He's always busy at this time of year, visiting and comforting people everywhere. He usually only has time after the Lantern Festival. I didn't expect him to be back so soon this year."
Upon hearing this, I frowned, and something immediately occurred to me.
"Did he come back early specifically because of your wedding?"
Su Shenglin shook his head, "No, it's not like that. From childhood to adulthood, it was the old man who disciplined me. He never interfered in my affairs."
“That’s different. Your marriage is a major event, and as his father, he will definitely want to know about it.”
I don't have a deep impression of Su Shenglin's father, because I've only met him once in all this time.
But on television, Su's father always appeared quite dignified and intimidating.
It seems there are more and more obstacles between us.
"Anyway, you should go back now. I'll rest for one more day and then go back to work. Don't worry about me." I glanced at the time; it was already 10 p.m., so I gave him a push and urged him on.
Su Shenglin turned to look at me, "Then I'll come and keep you company again tomorrow."
"No need. When your father comes back, spend more time with him."
"What's the point of keeping two grown men company?" Su Shenglin said with a smile.
I didn't respond, but continued pushing him as we passed through the living room and headed towards the door.
Seeing the travel bag on the sofa, I quickly said, "Don't forget your clothes."
“I’ll be staying here sooner or later anyway,” I said matter-of-factly.
“The conditions here aren’t good, so don’t force yourself to suffer.” I retorted, mimicking his words.
"Where you are, even the worst conditions are paradise." As he walked to the door and changed his shoes, he turned to me and uttered another cheesy pickup line.
I pursed my lips, a smile playing on my lips.
The door opened, and I saw him about to leave. I went up to him and gave him a hug. "Drive carefully on the road."
"Mmm." He hooked my chin with one hand, leaned down and kissed me gently and affectionately, "Then you should go to sleep early."
Okay, bye-bye.
We kissed again, then he let go of my hand and turned to leave. I went back and closed the door.
The myna bird stood beside me, tilting its head back and looking at me with a puzzled expression.
It seems to be asking: Why did you leave again?
I looked down at the dog and said helplessly, "Aren't you reluctant to let him go too? But there's nothing we can do. Maybe one day he won't be able to come anymore..."
"Awoo..." The myna bird couldn't understand human speech, but it protested with a dissatisfied sound.
I went back to my bedroom and continued showering.
Thinking of Li Yunwei's words, I realized that I had forgotten to ask Su Shenglin earlier.
However, he definitely won't have time to worry about this tonight; he's busy enough dealing with family matters.
I had another sleepless night.
Su Shenglin hasn't contacted me since he went home, which is unlike him.
Since we started dating, we chat on WeChat every night before bed and then say goodnight to each other.
During my business trip to Milan, although our schedules were different due to the time difference, he would still send me a message or two before he went to sleep.
But not tonight.
I felt uneasy.
Although I've tried to reassure myself more than once that I already anticipated the worst outcome and that it's not a big deal,
In this world, everyone can live without anyone else.
I still can't sleep.
But I didn't dare to contact him first, afraid that if he was in a bad mood, he would have to come and comfort me and try to smooth things over in front of me.
I originally wanted to ask Chen Muxi about the situation.
I had already prepared my answer in my mind, but in the end I didn't have the courage to ask.
They fear the outcome will be worse than they imagine.
I tossed and turned until three or four in the morning before finally drifting off to sleep.
I naturally woke up late the next day.
Fortunately, it was a day off, and not much work was scheduled.
The first thing I do when I open my eyes is pick up my phone.
Seeing the unread WeChat message from Su Shenglin instantly snapped me out of my daze, and I sat up.
[Wanwan, I just finished my work and was about to go to sleep. I forgot to say goodnight to you beforehand. I hope I disturbed your sleep.]
I have to go on a business trip. I'll contact you when I get back. If you need anything, just ask Ye Yuntang; he'll handle everything for you.
Below, a business card is displayed.
My WeChat name is just one character: Ye (叶).
It must be Young Master Ye.
But I hesitated for a moment and was too embarrassed to add them on my own initiative.
Unexpectedly, after exiting Su Shenglin's WeChat interface, I found new friend requests in my contacts.
Upon clicking, it turned out to be "Ye".
It seems Su Shenglin anticipated that I wouldn't add him on my own initiative, so he spoke to Young Master Ye and asked him to add me as a friend.
I can only pass through.
Soon, Ye Shao sent a message.
[Ms. Jiang, Sheng Lin has an urgent business trip and his return date is uncertain. Please feel free to contact me if you need anything during this time.]
I replied, "Thank you, Happy New Year."
Originally, after discussing all this, I was ready to call it a day.
But the thought of Su Shenglin's sudden business trip, and that he had been busy until 4 a.m. last night, made me uneasy again.
So I asked Ye Yuntang again.
[Young Master Ye, is Su Shenglin really away on a business trip, or has something happened at home that prevents him from seeing me?]
Ye Yuntang replied quickly: "He told me he was on a business trip."
Therefore, Ye Yuntang probably doesn't know the specifics either.
I thanked them again and then dropped the matter.
