Chapter 223 Heartache and Sweetness
On the road, He Lingting held the steering wheel with one hand and held the little girl's hand with the other hand. Even when he was sweating, he refused to let go.
Xiaomai had been frightened all night, and now that she was relaxed, she was actually a little sleepy. It was great to have the uncle around, so she could sleep peacefully, mumbling, "Uncle, please don't leave me, I love you..."
She loved He Lingting, but He Lingting no longer looked for her. She thought she had fallen out of favor. She was afraid of losing the uncle. She regretted that she shouldn't have lost her temper with the uncle and slammed the car door and left. The uncle must be very disappointed in her!
But she was kind and innocent. She saw with her own eyes that Lin Hao had indeed saved her from danger. Her conscience told her that she should not treat her savior like that, so she was very angry when the uncle opposed her relationship with Lin Hao.
Xiaomai has always believed that seeing is believing, hearing is not, and the fact that someone saved her is the fact!
He Lingting listened to the little girl's mumbling, and felt both sweet and painful in his heart. His baby loved him so deeply, and he felt distressed for her fear.
He Liting also regretted that he should not have let her go and should not have been so self-righteous as to think that only getting the results of the investigation was the key to resolving the conflict between the two.
Xiaomai gradually fell asleep. He Lingting parked the car on the side of the road, took off his coat and covered the little girl with it. He leaned over and kissed the little girl's forehead, whispering, "I'm sorry, baby. Your husband is late and made you worry. Go to sleep! Your husband will never let you go again."
He Lingting looked at the little girl's sleeping face lovingly for a while, then started the car and drove home. He controlled the speed very steadily, for fear of waking the little girl.
When they arrived at the villa, the little girl was still sleeping. He Lingting got out of the car, walked around to the other side, picked up the little girl and went into the house. He Lingting was very careful and gentle throughout the whole process, as if he was holding a rare treasure in his hands and would not tolerate any carelessness.
As soon as He Lingting put Xiaomai on the bed, Xiaomai woke up and asked, "Uncle, are we home?"
"Well, we're home now. Are you still sleepy? Do you want to sleep a little longer?"
"what time is it now?"
"A little after four o'clock."
"Ah! Then I won't sleep. If I sleep any longer, I won't be able to sleep at night. I have to get up early for work tomorrow." Xiaomai said.
"It's okay. Your husband has a way to make you fall asleep at night." He Lingting picked up the little girl and put her on his lap. He put his arm around the little girl's waist and spoke into her ear.
Xiaomai's expression froze and her whole body felt numb as if she had been electrocuted. The uncle was so mean, flirting with her in broad daylight.
Xiaomai blushed and dodged, "I won't use your method."
He Liting felt more at ease holding the little girl in his arms. He tightened his hands and absorbed the scent of the little girl. It was great, his baby was back.
"Uncle, are you hungry?" Xiaomai suddenly remembered that the uncle just said it was past four o'clock.
"You know what, I'm really a little hungry. I haven't had a proper meal since you left." He Lingting said aggrievedly.
"Ah! How can that be? What if I get hungry?" Xiaomai said distressedly. What a shame, uncle! You can't torture your body!
"Will not."
"Then I'll go cook for you, you stay by yourself for a while." Xiaomai said as she was about to get up and go downstairs to cook, but He Lingting held her tightly and refused to let go.
"Uncle?"
"Let Aunt Li do it!"
"No, it's my fault that my husband is hungry, I have to compensate him at least!"
"It's not too late to give it to you in the evening." He Lingting shamelessly started to eat meat again.
Xiaomai's face turned red again, "Let go quickly, or I will ignore you."
He Lingting saw that the little girl was about to get angry, so he let go in time. Xiaomai went downstairs to cook for He Lingting. He Lingting went to the study, dealt with work matters for a while, and then called Ada.
"Master, is there something wrong?" When Ah Da saw that it was He Lingting calling, he immediately picked up the phone.
"Well, send over the evidence you collected."
"It has been sent to your mailbox."
"Well, find someone to keep an eye on Lin Hao and see who he comes into contact with. It's okay to create some trouble occasionally."
"I understand, Master." Ah Da thought to himself, Master is too sinister. In order to protect his wife from being harassed, he should let the other party be busy and have no time to approach the young lady.
Xiaomai prepared the meal downstairs and went upstairs to the bedroom to look for He Lingting. She didn't find him. Just when she was about to go to the study to check, the door of the study opened, "Uncle, it's time for dinner."
"Okay." He Lingting took the little girl's hand and went downstairs.
At the dinner table, the little girl kept serving food to He Lingting. He Lingting ate very gentlemanly, feeding the little girl from time to time. He Lingting was really hungry. He couldn't eat before because the little girl was not around, but now he ate a lot more unconsciously and was not surprisingly full.
After dinner, the two of them walked hand in hand in the yard in front of the window to walk and digest their food. He Lingting didn't want to mention Lin Hao, but Xiaomai mentioned it anyway.
"Uncle, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have quarreled with you for others." Xiaomai generously admitted her mistake.
"Come here, baby. Your husband is also wrong. He shouldn't be so harsh with you. I won't do that again in the future." He Lingting stretched out his hand and hugged the little girl in his arms and said.
"Uncle, I've thought a lot in my little nest. I know you're jealous. I promise you that I will keep my distance from all the opposite sex in the future. You will be the only man I love in this life."
"Silly girl, it's not just about jealousy. This Lin Hao is really not simple. I'm worried about you." He Lingting stroked the little girl's shoulder and persuaded her softly.
"But I saw him save me with my own eyes, how could it be false? If he hadn't rescued me in time, I'm afraid you wouldn't have seen me."
"Oh! My silly girl, you are too naive and kind. Sometimes what you see is not necessarily the truth." He Lingting sighed and said that his baby was too naive. He would have to keep a close eye on her in the future, so that others would not sell her and he would have to count the money for her.
"You mean he wrote and directed this self-torture drama just to get close to me?"
"Baby, you finally got it." He Lingting said with a smile.
"But why? I don't know him."
"He came here for me. He wants to use you to deal with me. They know you are my weakness. As long as you are here, I will agree to anything they ask me to do." He Lingting no longer concealed the truth and told the little girl the truth directly to prevent him from making trouble in the future.
"Do these bastards have a grudge against you? They are determined to kill you. Don't worry, uncle, I won't let them go." After hearing what He Lingting said, Xiaomai was so angry that she wanted to beat him up. The uncle was her sweetheart. If anyone wanted to harm him, she would fight him to the death.
"Baby, don't be angry. No one can touch me except you. Promise your husband that you will trust me more in the future, okay?"
"Okay, husband, I was wrong. From now on, what you say will be the imperial decree, and I will listen to it unconditionally, okay?" Xiaomai snuggled in the uncle's arms and acted coquettishly.
"it is good."
After He Lingting finished speaking, he lowered his head and kissed the little girl's lips, not letting her say anything more. They were separated for only one night, but they were suffering like this...
