C49

Early in the morning, Lin Wanbai bought a bed and went to the hospital to visit her grandma.

It was rare for her to not have to worry about her part-time job and peacefully accompany the old man while speaking, even though she had to open up her legs for it.

"Huo Changyuan" was displayed on her phone. Lin Wanbai answered it by the window.

"Hello?"

"Why is it taking so long!"

Huo Changyuan seemed to find her taking it slowly, so he said in a bad tone, "Come over early tonight."

"Oh ?" Lin Wanbai bit her lips.

They had just slept together last night, and they had been tossing and turning for a long time. When she woke up in the morning, she felt as if her waist was about to break.

Tonight, he actually wanted to... This man's physical strength was truly abnormal!

Separated by the phone, Huo Changyuan was still as intimidating as ever, "Half past six, don't be late!"

Lin Wanbai subconsciously straightened herself. "Yes!"

Seemingly due to her exaggerated actions, Grandma who was on the sickbed looked over and hurriedly hung up the phone.

Who knew that the next second, his phone rang again.

In the end, Huo Changyuan wasn't able to call her, so she didn't dare to not pick up the phone, so she could only put it by her ear.

"You're not allowed to hang up on me!"

Then, the line went dead with a beep.

The corner of Lin Wanbai's mouth twitched as she looked at the screen. "?"

He went back to the bed and picked out a piece of fruit from the plate he had just washed. Smiling, he asked the old man, "Grandma, do you want another pear?"

"I'm not eating anymore. If I keep eating, I won't even be able to eat lunch!" Grandma laughed as she touched her belly. She held her granddaughter's hand and paused for a moment. "Little White, don't forget to buy a set of Horseshoe Lotus for your mother today!"

Lin Wanbai thought to herself.

He was so upset with himself for being so unfilial that he almost forgot that today was the day of his mother's death!

"Hm!" I'll accompany you after lunch! "

"..."

Lin Wanbai finally arrived at cemetery after two hours on the bus.

It was located in a sparsely populated area in the suburbs. After getting off the car, they walked along a small mountain road. Carefully protecting the horseshoe lotus in their arms, it was their mother's favorite flower while she was still alive.

Just like a building, the cemetery was divided into three grades and nine grades. Li Hui's son had been dragged into Mother Lin, and the tombstone was placed in the furthest corner, where the funeral was done carelessly.

The photo on the tombstone had stopped at the youngest age, and it had a face similar to hers.

Mother Lin had been a beauty since she was young. She was the kind of beauty who would stop to stare at others whenever they met her on the street. When she was young, she would secretly laugh for a few days when others praised her for being like her mother.

Lin Wanbai put down the horseshoe lotus and caressed the edges of the photo. "Mom, I've come to see you."

"Mom, I will take good care of Grandma. "I'm fine ?"

When she said the last three words, she hugged her knees and sat beside him.

Gradually, a layer of mist appeared in his eyes.

Every year, on this day, she felt really sad. All of the memories of her mother's life would gush into her head, including her final, tragic jump from the top of the building ?

The night breeze blew, drying the tears on his face. It was rather itchy.

Only then did Lin Wanbai get up and walk down the mountain slowly. She still couldn't calm down. It was only when she got on the bus that she remembered Huo Changyuan's call that morning.

By the time she rushed from the suburbs to the entrance of the residential complex, it was almost 9 o'clock.

When they got out of the elevator, Lin Wanbai's heart was pounding. She had only turned the key half a circle when the door opened.

The light came from the inside, she went in silently to change her shoes, Huo Changyuan sat on the sofa in the living room without changing his clothes, his suit was on the side, his shirt sleeve was rolled up to his elbow, and in his hand was the remote control.

Lin Wanbai didn't even dare to breathe as the boring financial news was played on the television.

She stood on the other side of the coffee table, not knowing how to position her hands and feet.

"I ?"

Huo Changyuan suddenly raised his head. His long and thick eyelashes could not hide the sharpness in his eyes, "Why can't I get through to the phone!?" And he shut down his phone! "

"There might be no electricity ?" Lin Wanbai lowered her eyes.

"Where did you go?"

"?"

"Can't hear me?"

Lin Wanbai avoided answering, "I didn't go anywhere ?"

It was as if she didn't want to show her weakness in front of him.

"Not where?" Huo Changyuan faintly repeated her words.

"I don't need to report everything to you, right ??" Lin Wanbai couldn't help but protest softly. In the end, she mustered her courage to meet his gaze and said, "Mr. Howe, this is my private matter."

This was a way of reminding him that he had broadened his control.

"Hur hur." Huo Changyuan's deep eyes suddenly contracted and his tone turned sharp, "Lin Wanbai, from the moment you followed me, you have never belonged to yourself! "As long as I want it, you can do it anytime I want. You can't have any privacy in front of me!"

"Speak!" Was he messing with his male colleague from yesterday? Lin Wanbai, I don't want to be cuckolded! "

"I didn't!"

She frowned at his words and said through clenched teeth, "I just went to the cemetery to see my mother."

Huo Changyuan was shocked, he frowned, "Why didn't you say so earlier!"

Lin Wanbai did not say a word. She looked down at her toes.

"Come here." Huo Changyuan raised his hand towards her.

It sounded like Lin Wanbai was calling for a pet dog, but she didn't move immediately.

This time, Huo Changyuan didn't scold her again. Instead, he directly went over and pulled her onto his back.

He pulled her from the side and Lin Wanbai sat on his lap. Her posture wasn't that ambiguous, but it was very uncomfortable. She wanted to stand up, but her waist was held back by his arm.

It was already eight years ago that he had been carried on his lap like this.

He was nervous and panicked, especially towards Huo Changyuan.

Lin Wanbai did not know when his anger had disappeared from the corner of her eyes. She only heard him ask in her ear, "Are you in a bad mood?"

"?" She slowly pursed her lips.

Huo Changyuan's thin lips didn't move anymore, but his palm lightly caressed her back.

Lin Wanbai patiently repeated the rhythm over and over again. The temperature of her palm was also imprinted onto her skin through the fabric of her clothes. It even burned her heart.

He's ? Was he coaxing her?

Lin Wanbai felt as if she was sitting on pins and needles after being frightened by such a fact.

After holding on for a few minutes, she could not hold on any longer and stuttered as she tried to find an excuse. "I'm thirsty. Let me get myself a cup of water ?"

Leaving his lap, Lin Wanbai headed for the kitchen.

After entering, she was stunned as she looked at the items on the counter. They had clearly been bought not long ago. There was an unopened box of noodles, a box of eggs, and a labeled onion.

Footsteps followed, and they seemed to be very fast.

Lin Wanbai turned around and saw Huo Changyuan's tall figure. The space between his eyebrows was slightly creased and he looked a bit annoyed.

"You haven't eaten?"

Lin Wanbai looked at the stone counter and then looked at him.

Huo Changyuan's gaze moved. A trace of awkwardness flashed across his face, "Yes."
