Chapter 49

Early morning of the weekend, Lin Wan Bai bought a bed and went to the hospital to visit his 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.

His phone displayed the three words "Huo Chang Yuan". Lin Wan Bai walked to the window before answering.

"Hello?"

"Why is it taking so long!"

Seemingly unhappy that she was taking it slow, Huo Chang Yuan's tone was not very good, "Come over earlier tonight."

"Oh …" Lin Wan Bai bit his 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 Chang Yuan was still full of deterrence, "Six thirty, you are not allowed to be late!"

Lin Wan Bai subconsciously stood at attention, "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.

or Huo Chang Yuan couldn't call his, so she didn't dare to not pick it up, and could only place it by her ear.

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

Lin Wan Bai looked at the screen of his phone, and the corner of his mouth twitched, "..."

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 Wan Bai sighed in his heart.

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! "

After pouring down the bus for two hours, Lin Wan Bai finally reached the cemetery.

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 grave was divided into different grades, because she had caused Li Hui to let her son go and implicate Mother Lin. The tombstone was placed in the furthest corner, where the funeral was all a matter of grass and grass.

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 Wan Bai put down the Horseshoe Lotus and caressed the edges of the photo. "Mom, I'm here 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.

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 Wan Bai get up, and slowly walked down the mountain. She was still unable to calm down, and only when she got on the bus did she remember Huo Chang Yuan's phone call that morning.

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

Stepping out of the elevator, Lin Wan Bai's heart was thumping loudly. The key had only turned in half a circle before the door was opened.

In the living room, Huo Chang Yuan sat on the sofa without changing his clothes. His suit was draped over the side and his shirt sleeves were rolled up to his elbows. In his hands, besides the cigarette in his hand, there was also the remote control.

As the boring financial news was played on the television, Lin Wan Bai did not even dare to breathe loudly.

She stood on the other side of the table, her hands and feet at a loss for what to do.

"I …"

Huo Chang Yuan suddenly raised his head. His thick and long eyelashes could not hide the sharpness in his eyes. And he shut down his phone! "

"There might be no electricity …" Lin Wan Bai lowered his eyes.

"Where did you go?"

"…"

"Can't hear me?"

Lin Wan Bai evaded but did not answer, "I didn't go anywhere …"

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

"Not where?" Huo Chang Yuan faintly repeated her words.

"I don't need to report everything to you, right …?" Lin Wan Bai couldn't resist protesting in a low voice, but he still mustered his courage to meet his gaze in the end. "Mr. Howe, this is my personal matter."

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

"Hur hur." Huo Chang Yuan's serene and deep eyes suddenly contracted, and he spoke with a sharp tone, "Lin Wan Bai, from the moment you followed me, you had already ceased to belong 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 Wan Bai, I don't want to be crowned as the "Green Hat"! "

"I didn't!"

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

Huo Chang Yuan was startled, his eyebrows knitted together, "Why didn't you say so earlier!"

Lin Wan Bai did not utter a word, he only looked down at his toes.

"Come here." Huo Chang Yuan raised his hand towards her.

It looked very much like she was calling him pet dog. Lin Wan Bai was a little conflicted and didn't move immediately.

This time, Huo Chang Yuan did not scold her again, but directly went over and pulled her onto his back.

Pulling him over from the side, Lin Wan Bai took the opportunity to sit on his lap. His posture wasn't that ambiguous, but it was very uncomfortable.

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

They were anxious and nervous, especially towards Huo Chang Yuan.

When did the anger he hid in the corner of his eyes dissipate? Lin Wan Bai heard him ask next to his ear, "Are you in a bad mood?"

"…" She slowly pursed her lips.

Huo Chang Yuan's thin lips did not move, his palm lightly caressed her back.

The warmth of his palm was imprinted onto his body through his clothes, and even scalded his heart. Lin Wan Bai carefully glanced at the profound facial features that were just inches away from him.

He's … Was he coaxing her?

Being frightened by such a fact, Lin Wan Bai felt as if she was sitting on pins and needles.

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 Wan Bai walked towards 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 Wan Bai turned his head and saw Huo Chang Yuan's tall silhouette.

Lin Wan Bai looked at the surface of the stone platform, then looked at him.

The light in Huo Chang Yuan's eyes moved, and an awkward look flashed across his face, "Mhm."
