230 Crying over the phone

The next day, Zhou han was woken up by Special Assistant Xu’s call. There was a very important document that Zhou han had to look through and sign, so Special Assistant Xu specially called to ask if he should send the document to his house now or if he would go to the company later.

Zhou han was still lying on the bed. He held the phone to his ear with one hand and raised the other hand to cover his forehead. There seemed to be a seperate machine working non-stop in his head. This feeling made his head feel like it was going to explode.

After not hearing Zhou Han’s answer for a long time, assistant Xu called out with uncertainty, ” general manager? ”

Zhou han reached out and knocked on the head that was about to split open from the pain. Then, he said, ” “I’ll go to the company later.”

After getting his answer, Special Assistant Xu knew how troubled he had been these few days. He didn’t dare to say much and only said, ” “Okay, I got it. I’ll hang up now, general manager.” He was about to hang up the phone.

“Wait a moment.” Zhou han spoke, his voice still hoarse from yesterday’s drinking.

“Is there anything else, general manager?” Special Assistant Xu asked from the other end of the phone.

Zhou han was silent for a while before saying, ” help me contact the major media outlets. I’m going to hold a press conference in the afternoon.

“Is it about the anonymous post?” Special Assistant Xu probed.

Zhou han didn’t answer directly and only said, ” “Just do as I say.”

“Alright, I got it.” Special Assistant Xu did not ask any further and hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Han’s head was still hurting so much that it felt like it was going to explode. He frowned and threw the phone on the bedside table. He turned around and realized that the bed beside him was empty. It was so cold that it seemed like no one had slept on it.

When she got up, she realized that she was naked. She looked down and saw the clothes she wore yesterday on the floor.

Zhou han looked at the clothes on the floor and was stunned. He recalled that su Yicheng had sent him back home last night, and as soon as he entered the house, his stomach had been in so much pain that he had rushed to the bathroom. Although his memory was a little blurry because of the alcohol, he still had an impression of him and Lin Li making out last night.

Without thinking much, he picked up the clothes on the floor and threw them into the bathroom. Then, he took a clean set of clothes from the cloakroom and went back into the bathroom.

When he came out of the room again, Zhou han had already washed up and changed his clothes. When he came out of the room, he didn’t see Lin Li in the living room. Without a doubt, perhaps it was because she had lost a child back then, her love and care for Xiao bin was like how she would treat her own child.

He came to the door of the children’s room softly. The door was left ajar. Zhou han heard the little guy’s soft sobs in the room and also heard Lin Li’s gentle and patient comforting.

In the room, he heard Lin Li softly say while holding the child, ” “Xiaobin, Auntie will make you breakfast, okay?”

The little guy didn’t say anything. Through the gap of the door, Zhou han could see the little guy reaching out and hugging Lin Li’s waist tightly. The head and nose that were buried in the child’s chest were still red.

Worried that he was still young and wouldn’t be able to go hungry, Lin Li stroked his head and continued in a soft voice, ” “Xiao bin needs to eat to have strength.”

The little guy still didn’t let go. This time, he shook his head and said in a low voice, ” “No, don’t leave me alone.” As she spoke, her tone carried a slight sobbing tone, which made one’s heart ache.

Lin Li lowered her head and gently kissed his head. She knew that she had really hurt him this time. Her heart ached and she was reluctant to part with him, but she still cared about his body. She didn’t eat much the entire day yesterday and had cried for so long. If she didn’t make something for him to eat, she was worried that his body wouldn’t be able to take it. After all, he was a child and couldn’t be compared to adults.

Xiao bin, Auntie doesn’t. It’s not that I don’t want you. Auntie is just going to the kitchen to cook some porridge for you, okay? ” Lin Li coaxed.

The little guy was really scared. He still shook his head and mumbled, ” I’m not hungry.

How could he not be hungry? Lin Li let go of him and reached out to gently wipe away the tears on his small face. She smiled faintly and said in a somewhat exaggerated manner, ” “Xiao bin isn’t hungry, but aunty is. Because Xiao bin didn’t want to eat yesterday, aunty didn’t eat much, so I’m starving now.” As he spoke, he even reached out to press on his stomach, trying to make himself look more realistic.

The little guy looked at her with tears in his big black eyes. After a while, he seemed to have made a decision. He nodded and said softly, ” “Then you have to come back quickly.”

Lin Li touched his head, thinking that perhaps she should find something to distract him, so she said, ” “Xiao bin, do you want to go out with Auntie to the living room to watch TV? Auntie will help you adjust your favorite cartoon, okay?”

The little guy thought for a while and finally shook his head. no, daddy won’t be happy to see me.

Lin Li looked at him and sighed silently in her heart. The relationship and courage that he and Zhou han had cultivated over the past half a month had shrunk back after yesterday.

She kissed his head and stopped forcing him. She only said, ” “Auntie will be back soon.”

The little guy nodded, his eyes staring at her without blinking.

Lin Li touched his head and then left the room.

When she came out of Xiao bin’s room, Lin Li found Zhou han standing by the side with his back against the wall. At this moment, she saw that his face was tense and his hands hanging by his sides were tightly clenched.

Lin Li suddenly remembered the name he had called out in his sleep last night. Her heart couldn’t help but ache badly. She bit her lip and looked away. Last night, she took a shower and went straight to Xiao bin’s room. She couldn’t bear to lie next to him again. From the moment she cut her hair, she told herself that she would never be someone else’s substitute.

Perhaps back then, she could let herself be someone else’s shadow for ten years because of love, but she would no longer be so stupid. Because she didn’t have another ten years to squander. At the same time, she also understood one thing, and that was that the love that was deep in the bones could not be replaced no matter how much time and energy you spent. Chengxiang was like this, and Zhou han was also the same.

She would no longer foolishly believe that time could change everything. Love was an impulsive thing when she was young. Now that she was no longer young, she no longer had that impulse. She only had life left, for herself and for her family.

In fact, she should be glad that she didn’t fall too deep this time. She should be glad that she didn’t say much to Anran and her parents. Although she didn’t bring them any surprises or hope, at least she didn’t let them down.

Lin Li glanced at him and tried her best to ignore the pain in her heart. She walked past him and headed directly in the direction of the kitchen.

Zhou han followed her out. When they reached the living room, he said in a deep voice, ” “I’m going to the office.”

Lin Li didn’t turn around or answer. She only nodded coldly.

Zhou han didn’t notice her indifference. He just picked up the briefcase that he left on the sofa last night from the living room, then opened the door and went out.

In the afternoon, when Xiao bin was sleeping, Lin Li received a call from mother Zhou. From her tone, she could hear mother Zhou’s concern for the child, but at the same time, she could also hear a faint alienation and concern. She didn’t ask very clearly and directly, but Lin Li could hear that she was suspicious and concerned about Xiao bin’s identity.

Lin Li understood her feelings and didn’t say much. She avoided those sensitive questions and only said that she would take good care of the child.

In the end, when she was about to hang up the phone, mother Zhou said with a hidden meaning, ” Xiao Li, it’s been hard on you.

Lin Li could hear the guilt in her tone, so she didn’t say much and only said, ” “I’ll treat Xiao bin like my own son.”

Whether she felt bad for Xiao bin or transferred the motherly love she didn’t have time to give to the child she lost in an accident to Xiao bin, even if everyone didn’t want the child, she wouldn’t leave him. Just like what she promised the little guy before, she wouldn’t abandon him.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Li’s chest felt stuffy and uncomfortable. She wanted to call Anran, but she didn’t expect Anran to worry about her mother’s health and herself. In the end, she called her own mother.

The moment she heard mother Lin’s voice, Lin Li suddenly felt like crying. She didn’t know where that emotion came from, but it was fierce and violent. She wanted to hold it in, but in the end, she couldn’t. In the end, she really started crying like a child while holding the phone.

Her cry really frightened mother Lin. She cried out in alarm, ” Lili, what’s wrong? what’s wrong? ” Why are you crying? tell mommy what happened!” Mother Lin’s cry attracted father Lin’s attention. Father Lin didn’t know what was going on and was so worried that he jumped up and down. He snatched the phone from mother Lin’s hand and said, ” Xiao Li, what’s wrong? did you get bullied? don’t cry. Tell Daddy. Daddy will help you.

Lin Li cried for a while before stopping. She reached out to wipe her eyes and sobbed, but she didn’t want the two old men to worry about her, so she only said, ” “No, no,”

then why are you crying? something must have happened. Tell me, what happened? ” Father Lin clearly didn’t believe her.

“No, I really didn’t.” Lin Li refused to admit it.

On the other end of the phone, father Lin still wanted to say something, but the phone was cut off by mother Lin halfway. Mother Lin’s voice came into his ear, asking, ” “Lili, tell mom, did you fight with Zhou han?”

When mother Lin said this, Lin Li’s tears, which she had tried so hard to suppress, came back again. She couldn’t suppress the inexplicable heartache and sadness in her heart. She took out her phone and said, ” no, no, I really didn’t.

“Then tell mommy, why are you crying?”

“I … I …” Lin Li couldn’t say it out loud, so in the end, she tacitly agreed. She casually came up with a reason. actually, actually it’s nothing. Because of a small matter, I said a few more words to him.

Hearing that, mother Lin smiled and said, ” silly, it’s inevitable for a couple to have some conflicts. Quarrels at the head of the bed will end in reconciliation. Getting along as a couple is also an art, an art of compromise and humility. The two must understand each other and look at the problem from the other person’s point of view. That way, they can understand each other’s feelings at the time, understand? ”

Not wanting her to worry, Lin Li nodded and went along with her words, ” “Okay, I’ll listen to mom.”

She treated them as a simple quarrel between husband and wife. Mother Lin taught them the principles and experiences she had learned from marriage over the past 30 years. Xiao Li, marriage is the beginning of two different people getting used to each other. You will have to face a lot of problems, but if the two of you are of the same heart, then you won’t be afraid of any problems. The most important thing for a married couple is communication. So, find Zhou han and his wife to sit down and have a good talk, understand? ”

Lin Li could only nod and reach out to wipe the tears on her face. Fortunately, she still had her parents. No matter how sad she was, she could still cry like a child in front of them.
