Chapter 112: Where Did Dad Go?

  Lele was so scared that she didn't dare to move, as if she had been struck by a magic spell. She was tightly wrapped in Jing's arms and feared that if she moved even slightly, he would take advantage of her again.

  Jing Yang naturally sensed her stiffness, his mouth slanted, and his fingers slid down from the nape of her neck along her spine.

  "No... it's time for bed!"

  "Hmm, you sleep yours, I play mine." A languid yet sensual voice came from Jingyang.

  "But you're playing with me..." Lele's words had just reached this point when he felt something was off, Jingyang couldn't help but laugh, "Your way of speaking is always humorous."

  "Ah!" Lele was so ashamed that she wanted to die, pulling the quilt up and hiding herself. But as she did, she didn't just hide herself, but also a big devil who wanted to eat her again.

  "I'm not playing with you, I'm admiring my treasure."

  "Disgusting!"

  "It's even more disgusting!"

  "Ah..."

  Lelai really felt that her IQ and various abilities were declining. Isn't it said that a woman's intuition is the most accurate? She had just thought he had learned to restrain himself, but it was not true at all. He would never do that, what a big devil.

  She just let her rest for a while, she hated him, wrong, there was no time at all, because she had to roll over with him!

  "Baby will get angry!" Lele said.

  "Don't worry, he's already asleep."

  "How can he sleep so soundly?"

  Heavens, this great devil is really hateful tonight.

  When Jingyang held her in his arms, she finally felt at ease. This devil had finally returned to normal, and feeling his warmth, she was filled with a sense of security. It was time for a good night's sleep. This long night was finally over, so she could sleep soundly now!

  She fell asleep sweetly. Even if Lian Jingyang used his rough tactics on her, she didn't have much resistance left. Alas, even a normal woman would find it hard to withstand his passionate advances, let alone a pregnant woman!

  This sleep was really solid. When she fell asleep, it was dark, and when she woke up, it was still dark, how come no one woke her up? She was so embarrassed to wake up.

  Get up, wash face, change clothes, open door, lights are all on, but where is everyone?

  She slowly went downstairs, the brightly lit dining room was empty, this feeling is really not good. It's as if she had been abandoned, could it be that she got up at the wrong time?

  She walked out dejectedly, picked up the phone and dialed Jingyang's number, but no one answered. What was going on?

  Lele started hating Jingyang now, it's all his fault. If he hadn't died last night, she wouldn't be in this state. Now she's starving, so let's find something to eat first. Lele turned back to the dining room, where a meal was laid out on the table, at just the right temperature. Was it prepared for her? She couldn't think about that now, and decided to eat first and worry later. Who knows what other things might happen later.

  Staring at the golden fried chicken leg, her appetite was greatly stimulated. With sparkling eyes, she gazed at the full table of food, and Lele felt extremely happy.

  Eating this and eating that, nothing is missed out, all loneliness and boredom are thrown far away. Eating one's fill is the main thing.

  After a while, Lele was full and rubbed his belly, oh, the feeling of being full is really great. Cleaning up everything, going upstairs to sleep, this kind of life where you eat till you're full and then sleep till you're hungry again is really not bad. It turns out that decadence is a form of enjoyment.

  Just as I walked to the stairs, I heard someone talking outside the door. It wasn't just one person, but a group of people. What's going on? Are they here to rob us in a gang?

  Lele smiled secretly, she wasn't afraid at all. This was the safest neighborhood in Ya Hua City. As long as you pressed that red button on the wall, any thief would be caught and couldn't escape.

  But Lele still heard Jingyang's voice, "Auntie, slow down, this way please."

  "Good!"

  Lele heard it was her mother and Jingyang's voice.

  She turned around and hastily ran to the entrance, where she saw Jingyang accompanying her mother pushing her grandfather this way.

  Jing's mom and dad and Jing Xiaomei are all here.

  What's going on?

  "Mom, it's Grandpa!" Lele exclaimed in surprise.

  "Have you finished your meal?" Mom asked with a smile.

  Lele nodded.

  "Why didn't you call me on my phone?" Lele complained.

  "I called you, but you didn't answer," Mom said with a smile.

  "Ah?" Lele was extremely surprised, and quickly went to check her phone, only to find it was on silent mode. Lele's eyebrows furrowed, and her gaze fell heavily on Jingyang's face, who of course showed no fear.

  It was he who deliberately created this vacuum environment for her, ah... she was about to suffocate.

  After everyone arrived at the hall, Jingyang asked Lele, "Did you sleep well?"

  "It's all your fault!"

  "Haha... If you don't rest well, how can we have fun tonight?"

  "What's going on?" Lele's face turned red all the way to her ears.

  Jingyang looked at her expression and smiled as he walked away.

  "Mom, how did you get here?"

  "It's said there's something to discuss."

  "What's wrong?"

  Mom smiled gently.

  The two families were discussing the marriage of Jingyang and Lele, Lele had always thought that Jingyang could arrange everything well, but in front of both sets of parents, he suddenly became like a child.

  "You're so quiet this time?" Lele teased him.

  Jingyang looked at Lele and said: "This marriage thing I really am doing for the first time, no experience, can you tell me about your experience?"

  "You!" Lele was almost driven mad by him.

  The family meeting ended, and Lele requested that the wedding must be simple. She knew that Jingyang's family had many connections, and there would definitely be a lot of people attending the wedding ceremony, but she didn't want it to be too grand.

  Jing Yang understood her mind and agreed without hesitation. As long as it was Lele's opinion, it was his opinion too. Everyone felt the same way, and Jing Xiaomei even had an urge to laugh out loud. Her arrogant brother had become infinitely accommodating after meeting Lele, which was truly unimaginable.

  The last thing Jing Jia suggested was that An's mom and grandfather move here to live with Lele, which moved Lele to tears.

  But An's mother flatly refused, smiling and saying: "Thank you all, but I still like living in my apartment, and the nursing home is also good. You don't have to worry about me here, it's just that my family's Lele hasn't been well taken care of, now she's getting married, and in the future I hope to be able to rely on you more."

  "Le Le is a good girl, it's our fortune to have her as our daughter-in-law..."

  Seeing everyone getting along harmoniously, Lele felt that this kind of ordinary and peaceful life was the greatest happiness.

  Finally, An's mom looked at Lele and said to Jingyang: "Lele, your dad is back from England, let you and Jingyang meet him, here is his contact address."

  Lele suddenly felt a cool breeze blow over her, and her body shuddered. The word "Dad" was so unfamiliar to her that she was afraid of the pain when she said it, as if her lips would hurt from touching each other.

  "I'm not going."

  "Le Le, good child, listen, my business with him has nothing to do with you." An's mother's words were gentle yet authoritative.

  Lele nodded silently, she couldn't let her mom lose face.

  Jingyang and Lele sent their mother and grandfather back to the nursing home. On the way back, Lele quietly shed tears.

  "Go ahead and say it!"

  Jingyang said: "I've always felt that my life is very melodramatic, and all the selling points of a melodrama are present in my life. My dad's story counts too. When I was nine years old, my father, who worked at an oil company, was sent to Africa to build some kind of pipeline. He left me and mom behind, dependent on each other. A year later, my dad came back, but there was no happy family reunion. He told mom that he wanted to live with another woman, a British woman, and that he wanted to divorce mom. He wasn't someone who hid things, from the moment he started being with that woman, he told mom about it. Mom cried so many times, she had no more tears left. Mom didn't say anything, she just signed the papers."

  Lele's tears burst forth in an instant, thinking of those miserable years.

  "I had already decided back then, he gave up on me, I've decided to not bother with him for the rest of my life, let him and that British woman live however they want, even if they have a child together, I won't bat an eye."

  Jingyang Lile said so.

  "In over a decade, he indeed didn't contact me, and without him, mom, grandma and I lived very well."

  Jingyang gently wiped away her tears and said: "But he gave you life, didn't he?"

  "This fact cannot be changed, if someone told me that my father is not him but someone else, I would be happier."

  "Don't talk nonsense. For a man who has made mistakes, making amends is the most important thing. But you have to give him the opportunity." Jingyang said, "Tomorrow I'll accompany you to see him."

  Lele let out a sigh and nodded silently.

  The next day, Jingyang saw Lele standing in front of the mirror and asked: "Are you ready?"

  Lele nodded.

  The moment she saw her father, all her memories were activated. He had aged a bit, but looked just like he used to. The blonde woman standing next to him didn't need an introduction - she knew who it was. And the mixed-blood girl who was about the same height as her... no wonder her father hadn't come looking for her all these years, because he had another daughter now.

  Both sides were more embarrassed by silence than conversation.

  "Le Le, where is your mom?"

  “She is great!”

  "We will attend your wedding."

  "Good."

  Jingyang held her hand tightly.

  They said a lot of words, but Lele became like another person, speaking very little, and Jingyang was very polite to the three of them.

  Finally, Dad handed a bank card with both hands to Lele, who was taken aback and then refused.

  "It's been a long time since I spent your money, I don't know how to spend it, you keep it!" Lele said and shook off Jingyang's hand, walking away first.

  Jingyang hastily chased out.

  Jingyang held her tightly in his arms as she stood by the side of the road, "I'm so jealous, why didn't he treat me this well before?"

  Everyone makes mistakes!

  Le Le finished crying, and Jing Yang let her get in the car, then they headed back again.
