Chapter 454

Le Yao received calls from Yu Peiling almost every day, but she chose to avoid it, asking questions and answering questions, unwilling to tell her mother her return date.

Because, Wen Yunting once said "never meet each other", if she returns to Z City, to her mother, she will eventually be unable to avoid seeing him, but meeting him again will eventually be embarrassing and embarrassing herself.

Doudou became silent, following Le Yao every day, in the kitchen, in the bedroom, in the living room, even if Le Yao went into the bathroom, she would guard the door and never leave.

Le Yao knew that it was because the little girl had no sense of security.

But she has never felt safe?
It has been a full month since he left.She could hardly sleep at night. Many times, she waited from dark to dawn with her eyes open. Apart from Lu Jingtang, there were no other guests in the cabin.Such a quiet time feels like years. Fortunately, Doudou is with her.

Where to go?

Staying in the cabin for one more day, Le Yao's heart will suffer even more.The world is so big, but besides here, is there any place she can go?
Le Yao is stubborn. She no longer turns on the TV or surfs the Internet. She lives a life of deception.

Zuo Baixiao's call broke Le Yao's peaceful life.

"Le Yao," his voice was as hoarse as ever, but he was a little tired: "Where are you and Doudou? My affairs here have been settled," he said, "Kindergarten will start in a few days. It's time for Doudou to come back."

Is Doudou finally leaving her?Le Yao's heart was really emptied, but she didn't have any reason to keep Doudou, "Brother Zuo, I'm..." She told him her detailed location.

The next morning, after Le Yao woke up, she found a car parked outside the cabin. Zuo Baixiao, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, was leaning on the front of the car and smoking a cigarette.

"Doudou, Dad is here." Le Yao went back to the house to call the little girl.

Doudou Yingying's eyes seemed to be shining: "Dad?" Her smile filled the corners of her eyes and brows.

When seeing Zuo Baixiao, the little girl's originally excited and joyful appearance was tinged with disappointment, but she called out to her father in a sensible way, and in her eyes and words, she didn't have the look of kissing and joy when she was with Wen Yunting at all.

Zuo Baixiao extinguished the unfinished cigarette, and gently put his hand on Doudou's head, "Good boy." Then, he looked at Le Yao with a slight smile.

It's been a long time since I saw him, but Zuo Baixiao gave her the same feeling as before, warm, kind and familiar like a big brother.Le Yao lowered his eyebrows and moistened his eyes: "Brother Zuo, when did you come?"

"Just arrived." In fact, Zuo Baixiao came two hours ago, at dawn, but he couldn't bear to disturb her sleep, so he sat in the car to rest until half an hour ago, he Just opened the door to get out for air.

"Come in and sit down." Le Yao said, she found the scattered cigarette butts beside him... He must have been here for a long time.

Zuo Baixiao took Doudou by the hand, and followed Le Yao into the cabin.

Le Yao took out the small kettle and teacups from the kitchen, but Doudou took out the tea leaves from the drawer in a sensible and quick manner. The mother and daughter cooperated very well. Soon, a cup of tea with a faint scent of jasmine came out of the oven.

Maybe it was because he was in a low mood, but Le Yao didn't have anything to talk about with Zuo Baixiao, "Brother Zuo, sit down first, I'll go and clean up Doudou's things."

"Le Yao," Zuo Baixiao called out to her just as she got up.

Le Yao turned around, "What?"

"Come back with me." Zuo Baixiao looked at her.

Le Yao's eyes fell on the well-proportioned bamboo forest, "I don't want to leave here yet." Besides here, is there any place for her to go?

"Mom," Doudou said anxiously, "You said that you wouldn't want Doudou—"

Zuo Baixiao was slightly surprised, Doudou is called Le Yao's mother?
Le Yao squatted down and looked at Doudou, but there was a bit of sadness in her soft eyes: "It's not that Mom doesn't want Doudou, but that Doudou should go home, go back to Dad, and go to school."

"I don't want it." Doudou suddenly threw herself into Le Yao's arms, hugging her neck and crying, "No, I don't want to leave my mother, I don't want to leave my mother."

Le Yao hugged her, patted her on the shoulder and coaxed her, but no matter what, Doudou would not let her go.

"Le Yao, Doudou needs you." Zuo Baixiao knew that Le Yao and Wen Yunting left City Z together. Of course, he also knew about the overwhelming media information about the marriage between Wen and Song, and with his insight into everything, he made a rational choice Avoid certain questions.

Over the past month, the relationship between Le Yao and Doudou has grown rapidly, and the relationship between them is no different from that of an ordinary mother and daughter. During her most difficult month, Doudou accompanied her through it, and she, too She was reluctant to let go of the little girl, but at this moment, what else could she do besides letting go?

"Mom is a liar, words don't count." Doudou cried, holding her in her little arms, and still didn't let go.

"Le Yao," Zuo Baixiao looked at her, "Doudou needs you," he finally said, "Years ago, someone bought Doudou's nanny and kidnapped her." He was quite helpless: "Now, Apart from you, I don't feel at ease leaving her in anyone's care."

Le Yao frowned, seeing the little girl, she was still a little worried after all.

"Doudou don't leave mother." Doudou insisted, holding Le Yao and never letting go.

"Doudou," Zuo Baixiao tried to hug her daughter away.

"Father, I want my mother to go back with me." Doudou turned to her father for help, her eyes were wide open, she looked pitiful and innocent.

Zuo Baixiao comforted her: "Doudou, mother will not leave you, she will go home with us. Le Yao, do you think so?"

Seeing the expectant eyes of the father and daughter, and the little girl's tears still remaining on her cheeks, Le Yao's heart softened suddenly, "Yes, Doudou, mom will be with you."

Doudou smiled.

*
Le Yao is packing her things.

Suddenly, the father and daughter sitting on the balcony made her a little distracted, as if, returning to those warm and happy days, she was instantly wet.

When Wen Yunting and Doudou were together, they would always bicker and quarrel, but that quarrel, at this moment, has become the past forever.

Zuo Baixiao and Doudou were very quiet together, occasionally saying a few words, but Doudou was completely lacking in the playfulness, cuteness and naughtiness in front of Wen Yunting.

Tears accidentally fell on the back of her hand, waking up Le Yao from her memories, the ring on the ring finger of her left hand gleamed coldly, causing pain in her eyes.

It turned out that she deliberately wanted to forget, but she still put the ring he gave her on her finger and couldn't bear to take it off.

When I think of him, my heart is full of suppressed pain.

When tidying things up, her hands trembled, and she didn't dare to touch Wen Yunting's things. It seemed that her heart would break and she would cry if she touched them.

When she opened the drawer and was about to pack up her documents, she suddenly found a passbook under her ID card.When she saw her name in the passbook, she was quite surprised, but the amount deposited was an astronomical figure that she had never seen before.

Le Yao was slightly startled, as if something touched her heart, but the thought disappeared in a flash.

In the end, she only took away her ID card and clothes, and put all of Wen Yunting's things in their place, including the bankbook with her name on it.

Doudou didn't have many things, and the mother and child's things were packed, but it was just a small box.

Dragging the suitcase out of the bedroom, Le Yao turned her head, the cold-colored room will become a thing of the past, and will become a memory of joy and pain.And that ring was lying quietly and alone in front of the dressing table at this moment.

Closing the bedroom door, Le Yao erased those sweet and painful memories in his mind.

"It's packed?" Zuo Baixiao stood at the door, looking at her unhurriedly.Seeing her dragging a small box, her long hair draped over her shoulders, soft, but her face was slightly haggard and pale, at this moment, she gave him the idea of ​​wanting to protect her and make her happy.

"En." Le Yao said, but there was pain in his heart.

"Let's go." Zuo Baixiao took the box in her hand, led Doudou, and walked out of the cabin.

When stepping down the last step of the small wooden house, Le Yao's eyes were wet. She remembered that when she first arrived in Zhuhai, she was full of joy and joy, looking forward to the happiness in the future, but now, she was full of exhaustion and anxiety. Scars left.

What about the man who proposed to her, said he loved her, and promised to be with her forever?He finally broke his faith in her.Le Yao's eyes were slightly moist, but there were no tears, and her tears had already dried up.

She told herself that after leaving the cabin, she would not shed a single tear for him.Leave the past, the beautiful sweetness and heartbreaking pain, all here.All let them become the past that she no longer recalls.

The past, really just the past.

*
It's been three days since I returned to Z City, but Le Yao has been living in Zuo Zhai, never going out.

Doudou's room is between the rooms of Zuo Baixiao and Le Yao.

Le Yao's room has a large open-air platform.Doudou just fell asleep, and she is sitting on the deck chair on the platform, looking up at the night sky.

On the night of early spring, there was a slight chill in the air, but she didn't feel cold.Tonight's night sky is dull and dark, and the stars and the moon don't know where to go.

She still suffers from insomnia and cannot fall asleep until very late.

Zuo Baixiao seems to be very busy, he doesn't come home until early in the morning.She only sees him every day at lunch, when he is full of energy, but he doesn't talk much.Such him, on the contrary, made Le Yao feel a little more at ease.

She now needs time to sort out her emotions and thoughts.

She believed that she would eventually get out of the shadow of that relationship.

"Le Yao," Zuo Baixiao stood at the door of her room, knocking lightly on the door: "Can I come in?"

Le Yao turned around, "Brother Zuo."

Zuo Baixiao approached her, put the thermal insulation Gu in his hand on the small table in front of her, and said in a hoarse voice with calm warmth: "Taste it."

"What is it?" Le Yao suddenly smelled a very fragrant chicken soup.

Zuo Baixiao opened the heat preservation Gu, and the steam was steaming upwards. He handed her the chopsticks: "It's the famous chicken noodle soup in the delicious street."

A fresh fragrance blowing towards her face made the lonely and quiet Le Yao suddenly have a little appetite.

The noodles are delicious; the chicken soup is very fragrant.

"Eat slowly, I'll go and see Doudou," Zuo Baixiao sat for a while and left.

Le Yao looked at his back, so tall and straight, so outstanding, he was always so majestic, he knew what to do, what not to do, everything has a standard, for example, he confessed to her more than once, she refused up.But he never aggressively wanted to do anything to her, he would only quietly accompany her and give her warmth in due course.

When Zuo Baixiao came over from Doudou's room, Le Yao had already finished eating chicken noodle soup.

"It's delicious." After eating the noodles, she felt a warm feeling in her heart.She is really grateful to him, grateful for the free space he gave her, and even more grateful for the warmth he gave her.

Zuo Baixiao smiled faintly, and looked at her: "Do you want to go out for a walk? There is a very nice place," he looked at her: "Come with me, how about it?" Originally, he wanted to take her to relax , but instead asked her to accompany him, because he knew that she would not refuse if he said that.

Zuo Baixiao always drove steadily and fast, and tonight, it was the same.However, the place where the car passed gradually changed from a bustling street to a cold villa. In the end, there were rapidly receding trees on both sides of the road, and even the street lights were dimmed.

"Where are we going?" Le Yao was slightly taken aback, but she wasn't worried or frightened, just because Zuo Baixiao was by her side.

"Beishan." Zuo Baixiao focused on driving, keeping his eyes on the front of the car.

Beishan is located on the outskirts of Z City. It is a tourist area developed by Z City in recent years. The newly built scenic spot is so novel and eye-catching.

The car stopped on the top of Beishan.

The air on the mountain is very fresh, Le Yao can see the bright night view of City Z, although there is no moon and stars in the sky, but at this moment, the night view of City Z is as prosperous and beautiful as before.

"Is it pretty?" Zuo Baixiao stood behind her, looking at the bright city Z together with her.

"Beautiful." Le Yao sighed lowly, at this moment, as she climbed up and looked into the distance, it seemed that her heart was relieved and relaxed.

"What about this side?" Zuo Baixiao held her arm with his hand, making her turn around and look behind her. There, there was no longer a bright night scene, but a dark mist instead.

However, in this misty, suddenly, a burst of brilliant light appeared, they drew a beautiful arc in the air, and then bloomed.

"Fireworks." Le Yao raised her lips, and the haze in her heart dissipated instantly, with a long-lost smile on her face: "Brother Zuo, look quickly, fireworks."

Seeing her happy look, Zuo Baixiao finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Do you like it?"

"Like it!" Le Yao was as excited as a little girl.

When the burst of brilliant light has not dissipated, another burst of more beautiful light rises, one after another, gorgeous and dazzling.

"It's so beautiful." Le Yao sighed softly.She has lived in Biyuan since she was a child, and the relationship five years ago made her heart sink into a trough.After leaving Biyuan, her life has always been depressing and dull, almost rarely such a relaxing moment, so, it was just the sudden appearance of fireworks in the night sky, which made her feel relaxed.

Zuo Baixiao looked at her, as long as she was happy, that would be fine.In fact, he has always paid attention to and cared about everything about her.He hoped that she would get out of Wen Yunting's shadow as soon as possible and be happy.

The beautiful fireworks lasted for about half an hour, and the bursts of bright light made the entire misty night sky gorgeous.

Zuo Baixiao's hand gently landed on her waist.

Le Yao was slightly taken aback, but took two steps forward without showing any trace, and his hand, just like that, fell in mid-air.

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

"It's too late, let's go back." The fireworks continued to bloom, but she felt that the air was a little dignified.

"Okay." Zuo Baixiao was a little disappointed, but opened the car door for her in a very gentlemanly manner.

On the way back, the car was silent.

Le Yao leaned against the car window, watching those street lamps receding quickly like fleeting shadows.

Left house.

Le Yao pushed open the door of her own room, turned her head and smiled at Zuo Baixiao: "Brother Zuo, good night."

"Good night." Originally, he had planned a lot to say tonight, but because of her retreat without showing any trace, he didn't have a chance to say what he was brewing.

Just as Zuo Baixiao was leaving, Le Yao called him again: "Brother Zuo,"

He turned back.

Le Yao smiled, "Thank you, the fireworks are very beautiful." How could she not know that he specially set off those fireworks for her?

Zuo Baixiao also laughed, so she understood.

"Brother Zuo, you are as warm as an older brother in my heart." Le Yao knew that some things had to be said clearly, otherwise, it would be very embarrassing to get along with each other in the future. "I will take good care of Doudou."

Zuo Baixiao raised her eyebrows slightly, her face slightly embarrassed, but she said calmly, "Le Yao, as I said, I won't force you, so you don't have to be cautious or nervous. I do this just to hope you will be happy."

Le Yao felt guilty, it turned out that he was the honest gentleman, she couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

*
No matter how deliberate Le Yao is, the overwhelming media information about the Wen-Song marriage is pervasive. Even if she doesn't read, don't want to, don't listen, or smell, she still can't escape.

"Mom, mom." Doudou hurried upstairs and pushed Le Yao's room away.

"What's wrong?" Le Yao looked at the sweat on her forehead, worried that she might catch a cold with wet back.

"Go and see." Doudou pulled her and ran into the carpeted corridor, and then pulled her to the living room, standing in front of the TV.

"That's Dad." Doudou pointed to the tall and handsome man on the TV.She was still young, so she didn't know what happened between the adults at all, but she was thinking of Papa Wen who played and laughed with her.

Le Yao's originally quiet heart was churning in an instant: I haven't seen him for more than a month, and he is still handsome as usual on the TV screen, and his indelible natural nobility makes him stand out among the group of people.Every movement of his hands and feet was all movements she was familiar with.Her heart gave birth to a kind of boundless sadness.

"Mom," Doudou asked puzzled, "Why doesn't Dad come to see us?" She was still thinking about her father Wen who teased her and loved her.

The TV screen was circulating, but at this moment, it was the wedding photo of Wen Yunting and Song Siyu. It was a beautiful scene. They were sitting side by side. The white and beautiful wedding dress made the whole picture beautiful.

Seeing this scene, Le Yao's heart seemed to be caught by something, and there was a raw pain, and there was an uncontrollable sourness in his eyes.

She didn't let go at all.

She still can't let go.

Pain hit all her nerves.

She felt tight in her chest.

Suddenly, she turned off the TV.

Then he turned around and strode towards the room.

Doudou was stunned, looking at the back of Le Yao going away, and then at the TV that was turned off, not knowing what it was that upset her mother.But she was thinking about Papa Wen again.

Seeing him on TV made Le Yao a little flustered, because she ignored his place in her heart and thought she had forgotten it, but he is always in her heart, and it hurts when she touches it.She was in the room, walking irritably, but unconsciously knocked over the desk calendar with her hand, looking at the numbers, she leaned over to pick it up, tomorrow... Tomorrow is the day of their wedding.

My heart hurts so badly that I can't heal.

It turned out that what I wanted to forget, was finally floating in front of my eyes again.She sat trembling on the edge of the bed.

Heart, into a dark space, unable to extricate themselves.

He is really going to marry Song Siyu.

She felt tightness in her chest and found it difficult to breathe.

Their minds were filled with their wedding photos on the TV screen just now, so beautiful, so beautiful, and the dazzling white wedding dress...

They are the golden and jade marriage recognized by the outside world.

But what about her?
There was a cold smile on Le Yao's lips, but there was a swirl of pain in his eyes.

*
"I've booked a flight ticket for tomorrow morning, Le Yao, let's take Doudou to Kunming, and then transfer to Lijiang, okay?" Zuo Baixiao said suddenly during lunch.

Le Yao raised her eyes slightly, and saw that his gentle face was calm as usual, but in her heart... "I don't want to go anywhere." How could she not know that he wanted to take her out of Z City because he was afraid that she would be sad.

"The air ticket has been booked." Zuo Baixiao said, turned to look at Doudou, and asked, "Doudou, do you want to take a plane? Do you want to see tigers, lions, and elephants?"

"Think." Doudou held the chopsticks in her small hand, and took the food that Le Yao put in her bowl to her mouth.

"I'm not good at taking care of children," Zuo Baixiao said calmly, "Le Yao, if you don't go, Doudou and I won't be able to make the trip either."

Le Yao lowered her eyes, but she was really not in the mood to go out to play.

"Mom," Doudou pulled Le Yao's clothes, with a hint of request: "Come with me on the plane, watch animals with me, okay?"

Seeing Doudou's pouting appearance, Le Yao's heart trembled slightly, she pursed her lips lightly, and nodded: "Okay." It was almost impossible for her to refuse Doudou's request, although she was reluctant, but she accepted.

Doudou cheered and raised his hands in a victory gesture.

Zuo Baixiao pursed her lips and smiled lightly, looking at them sitting across from her, she felt a kind of warmth that she had never felt before.Having a wife and daughter is actually very good.Suddenly, there was a small movement in his heart.

Mrs. Guo brought the pork ribs soup that had been boiled over. As soon as it was placed on the table, Doudou pointed to it and said, "Mom, Mom, I want to eat pork ribs."

"If you want to eat pork ribs, eat the vegetables first." Doudou is a picky eater and doesn't like vegetables, so Le Yao began to correct some of her bad habits.

Doudou pouted and looked at Zuo Baixiao as if asking for help: "Father."

"Kid, where is there someone who is not picky?" Zuo Baixiao put a piece of ribs in the Doudou bowl: "Come, eat."

Doudou was cheerful, and wrinkled her nose towards Le Yao, looking triumphant, very cute.

Le Yao looked at him and said, "You can't pamper her like this." In fact, since Wen Yunting taught Doudou to eat vegetables last time, Doudou's picky eating habits have begun to improve, but if she is as pampered as Zuo Baixiao, , maybe the part that has changed will be reversed in the end.

"Next time I won't spoil her like this. Just this time, okay?" Zuo Baixiao looked at them with a smile.

Yimu just now, in the eyes of outsiders, looks like a loving father and strict mother in a small family.Mrs. Guo walked into the kitchen, quietly wiped her tears, and let out a long sigh from the bottom of her heart.
