Chapter 835: Anxious Waiting
Lu Jihan and Shen Kang left.
Song Yinyin stayed at the doorway, waiting until their car completely disappeared from view, only then did she retract her gaze.
Her heart felt empty and hollow.
She instinctively covered her chest, as if a whole heart had suddenly had a big chunk cut out of it.
A small hand tugged at the corner of her clothes beside her, and she looked down.
It was Song Dabai.
He tilted his little face up, hazily asking, "Mommy, where is daddy going so late?"
Song Dabai didn’t comprehend the adult world nor understood what had happened.
Song Yinyin ruffled Dabai’s hair, explaining, "Daddy went out to take care of something important."
"What could be so important?" The little fellow pouted discontentedly, feeling neglected by daddy.
"Hmm... it’s something very, very important."
Song Yinyin said absentmindedly.
Heaven knows, she was more worried about Lu Jihan than anyone else.
Wen Duoduo, knowing what was worrying Song Yinyin, came over and gently patted her back, comforting:
"Don’t worry, President Lu is just going to check on the situation, it might not be as bad as we think, or he might return quickly. With you and Dabai here, he wouldn’t put himself in danger."
This sentence from Wen Duoduo did make Song Yinyin feel much more at ease.
Lu Jinyan, standing aside, was on the phone, and after hanging up he came back and said to Song Yinyin:
"I’ve called Brother Ji. I’m worried that such a big event might affect the flight back to Country Z. So I called him, hoping he could arrange a private plane to take us back home. Brother Ji said if all goes well, he might come to pick us up tomorrow or the day after."
Wen Duoduo looked at him with admiration, "You’re quite considerate."
Lu Jinyan lightly smirked, arrogantly raising his eyebrow, "Of course."
Finally, he pointed to his cheek and said, "Don’t you think you should reward me?"
Even at a critical time like this, he was still so irreverent, Wen Duoduo felt speechless.
Suddenly, a mischievous idea sprang to her mind.
She beckoned him with her finger, saying, "Come here a bit, bow your head, close your eyes, look at me directly."
Lu Jinyan, delighted, did as he was told.
He approached Wen Duoduo, lowered his head, closed his eyes, and faced her directly.
However, the expected kiss didn’t happen, instead, his forehead received a firm flick.
"Ouch—"
He cried out exaggeratedly.
The voice was so loud, it drew the attention of passersby.
"Serves you right!" Wen Duoduo scolded, turning away from him.
"Hey, don’t you know this is attempted murder of your husband? Also, you’re so ruthless, making me dumber, what good does it do you? Are you planning to take responsibility till the end? Hey, Wen Duoduo, don’t walk away!"
Song Dabai saw this and laughed until his belly hurt.
Song Yinyin, however, couldn’t smile, as if she was in a different world.
Wen Duoduo, seeing her downcast appearance, was helpless too, could only hold her hand saying, "Yinyin, let’s go upstairs and wait for President Lu, staying here isn’t the solution."
Song Yinyin nodded.
Back in the room, she turned on the TV.
Watching the scenes on television, depicting various storylines, Song Yinyin sat there feeling extremely uneasy, clueless, devoid of her usual pleasant mood.
Time passed by, second by second.
Yet she felt as if she had waited for an entire century.
