Chapter 844: How Can I Bear to Not Want You
At night, he could not help but miss his little woman. During the day, he could focus on work, but when he relaxed, his mind was filled with the shadow of his little woman.
The short two days of not contacting each other was extremely torturous for him. Thinking about how they would be separated for two years in the future, even if he flew over to see her often, they would be separated for countless days and nights.
In the future, he would have to rely on his phone to keep in touch with her.
Li Yan took the phone and opened it, his fingers skillfully opening WeChat.
In the past, he had never used these messaging applications. For him, other than making phone calls, he only used his phone to surf the Internet and look at the stock market. There was no other use for him. However, he was becoming more and more dependent on his phone now.
When he opened WeChat, he found an unread message.
It was from Qiao Mu!
Li Yan’s steps towards the bed stopped abruptly. He opened the message and when he saw the line of words, his eyes darkened.
Li Yan, do you really not want me anymore?
In an instant, Li Yan felt his chest tighten. Those few simple words made him feel helpless and lonely.
His little woman had always been carefree, but he knew that she felt more insecure than anyone else.
He had always known! But he didn’t care about her feelings!
Li Yan’s fingers that were holding the phone turned green. Then, he dialed the number.
There was a six-hour time difference between the capital and Paris. It was nine o’clock in Paris.
Qiao Mu had just finished her work and returned to her hotel room.
In the afternoon, she received many messages. Some were from Chi Xia, some were about the baby, and some were irrelevant. The only thing she did not receive was Li Yan.
Every time she received a message, she would turn on her phone immediately and put it away in disappointment.
She had never thought that Li Yan would ignore her one day. She had always thought that no matter how willful she was, no matter what she became, that man would always be by her side.
At this moment, her phone rang.
When she saw the caller ID, she felt a lump in her throat and tears welled up in her eyes. She felt like she was hallucinating.
She pursed her lips tightly and answered the call.
The call went through. Qiao Mu did not say anything, and neither did Li Yan. The short silence made Qiao Mu think that Li Yan had accidentally called her.
Finally, a low voice came from the other end of the phone. ” Mu Mu…”
The familiar voice was just a simple form of address, but it was enough to strike straight into Qiao Mu’s heart, causing the emotions she had suppressed for a long time to erupt bit by bit.
“How can I bear to abandon you?” The man’s voice rang out immediately after. His low voice carried a trace of helplessness and apology.
How could I bear to abandon you…
These words made the tears in Qiao Mu’s eyes fall uncontrollably.
Tears fell on the phone screen, on the couple photo.
Qiao Mu bit her lip hard to prevent herself from crying out loud.
Qiao Mu wanted to apologize, but she couldn’t stop her tears. She opened her mouth and let out soft sobs.
Li Yan’s heart tightened as he said with heartache, “”Why are you crying? Be good, don’t cry. I’m not by your side. If you cry, who will wipe your tears?”
Qiao Mu sniffed and let out an “en”.
“Mumu, give me some time, okay?”
“Yes.”
“Don’t let your imagination run wild when you’re alone.”
“Yes.”
“You have to believe me.”
“Yes.”
The two of them clearly had a lot to say to each other, but they communicated in the simplest way.
