Chapter 424
424 Mother-daughter reunion (1)
Tong Lu suddenly felt that the pent-up anger in her heart over the past few days had disappeared in an instant. Her red lips moved, and her throat rolled. “I was wrong too, let’s write it off.”
After he finished speaking, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curved up into a smile.
Her sudden smile was imprinted in Leng Yejin’s deep, dark eyes. It was as if a stream of clear spring water had gushed into his heart. It was refreshing and bright.
He raised his hand and pressed his palm on the center of her hair. That movement was as gentle as a pair of wings flying across her heart, making her feel warm. There was a hint of sweetness that slowly grew in her heart.
The nurse knocked on the door and entered the room. Leng Yejin retracted his hand and sat at the head of the bed as he watched the nurse insert an IV drip into the back of her hand.
The long needle pierced into the back of her hand. She didn’t make a sound, but his hard heart suddenly hurt. He growled, ” “Gentle.”
The young nurse’s hands trembled in fear. Tong Lu let out a soft cry. Leng Yejin said sternly, ” “I told you to be gentle!”
“I’m, I’m sorry, Yingluo.”
“I’m fine.” Tong Lu was in a good mood, and her face was as bright as the sun. She smiled at the nurse.”Don’t be nervous.”
How could she not be nervous? He felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him, and he didn’t even dare to breathe!
The nurse trembled as she finished her work and ran away. Mr. Leng was too scary. He could kill her with just one look!
Leng Yejin took a hot water bottle and pressed it on her arm to prevent the intravenous infusion from freezing her arm. He sat down on the edge of the bed and lowered his head to look at her carefully. His eyes were so deep that they seemed bottomless. The complicated feelings contained in his eyes could not be erased with just a single word. However, her lips were pale, and he could not bear to be angry with her anymore.
Tong Lu felt a little overwhelmed by his passionate and complicated gaze. She did not know that he was not the person she had met at the nursing home the other day. She only thought that they had finally unraveled the knot in each other’s hearts. She averted her gaze, and her heart was beating very fast.
Secretary Yu knocked on the door and entered again. This Ward was not a good place for the two of them to be alone. Leng Yejin sighed and sat back down in his office chair. He took the document that Secretary Yu handed to him and read through it tiredly.
That night, Madam President brought Shanshan over and brought four servants with her. Shanshan lay on the bed and cuddled with Tong Lu for a long time. She even had to feed her mother dinner herself. She was so obedient. Tong Lu’s heart warmed up, and she ate an extra bowl of food than usual.
Before Madam President left with Shanshan, she left the four servants behind. Leng Yejin knew what his mother meant. He picked up his windbreaker and left with Shanshan in his arms. Madam President heaved a sigh of relief.
Leng Yejin returned home, took a shower, and turned off the lights. In the dark, he turned invisible and went to the hospital.
Tong Lu suddenly felt the mattress beside her sink, and she fell into the man’s arms. She jolted awake. Just as she was about to cry out in surprise, someone covered her mouth. Tong Lu broke out in a cold sweat because there was no one beside her. However, she felt unusually awake when he hugged her tightly.
Did he run into a ghost?
Leng Yejin sniffed the scent on her body and pulled her into his arms tightly. His voice brushed past her ears.”It’s me.”
His voice was very low, but Tong Lu could hear it. It was Leng Yejin’s voice.
She was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat. The man grabbed her hand and placed it on his face. She could not see anything, but she touched his chin. It was a little prickly. Tong Lu could not believe it. She touched his chin again. At first, she only touched his face. Then, she touched his entire body.
Her soft and dainty little hand wandered across the man’s muscular chest. His eight-pack ABS were hard. As her hand slid down, she touched something. Leng Yejin’s breathing had become irregular at some point. He lowered his voice and said, ” “If you touch again, be careful not to misfire.”
