Xiaobao looked at the bedroom door that was slightly ajar, thought for a moment: "He should be in the bedroom. Mom, are you leaving now?"
This child, always so understanding, although Ye Ning hadn’t told him anything, the smart and well-behaved boy could already sense that his parents probably couldn’t live together anymore. So, when he saw his mother, he sat there, feeling very lost, and asked.
Seeing this, Ye Ning felt a sharp pain in her heart. She came over and held his small body in her arms: "Don’t worry, Mom is just busy with work lately. From now on, I’ll come every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday to take you to school. Also, if you want to see Mom, you can call me anytime."
"Of course, it’s true. It’s already very late, go ask Dad to give you a bath. Oh, you still have a craft assignment, don’t you? Go ask Dad to help you with it, so you can sleep well afterwards."
When Ye Ning said this, her heart was truly aching. How reluctant she was to leave this child she had raised by herself. But what could she do? He was born from her, yet he must accept such a fate. What could she do?
Ye Ning stood up, forcefully holding back the bitterness in her eyes, she looked at that still-closed bedroom door.
What’s this person doing? It’s already so late, and he hasn’t come out to bathe his son? And there’s still the craft assignment?
Ye Ning couldn’t hold back anymore, she finally walked over and knocked on the bedroom door: "Ou Mucen? I’m leaving now, quickly come out and bathe your son. Also, he still has a craft assignment from the preschool today, come over and help him with it."
After knocking a few times, it took a while before a faint voice came from the bedroom: "Got it..."
Then, there was no more sound!
Seeing this, Ye Ning still felt a bit unwilling, but in the end, after hearing that voice, she decided to leave. So, with the child seeing her off, she changed her shoes and finally opened the door and went out.
What’s meant to be left behind should eventually be left behind!
The moment she closed the door and came out of the room, the cold wind hit her face, finally causing the tears she had held back for so long at the corners of her eyes to fall uncontrollably.
It was a pain like being pierced through the heart, as if something was being stripped away from her body, so stifling and so painful.
Daring not to stay here any longer, she quickened her pace down the stairs. Once downstairs, she didn’t stop, immediately driving away from this place.
Originally, she wanted to head straight to Antique Street, but halfway there, she suddenly remembered that tomorrow was the auction day Uncle Li was going to, and there were still some things she needed to instruct him about. So she started searching her bag for her phone, planning to call and ask him to wait for her.
"Oh? Where’s my phone? Where did my phone go?"
She rummaged through her bag, and it was only then she remembered that after answering Lin Yebai’s call earlier, she had left the phone on the table and hadn’t taken it.
Truly forgetful, how could she forget even this?
Annoyed, she scolded herself and had no choice but to head back towards the apartment to retrieve her phone.
Another ten minutes passed, with the back and forth, and by the time she arrived again, it was already past nine o’clock.
"I’m sorry, I need to go to 1101, I forgot something inside just now." Getting out of the car, she quickly returned to the building, seeing the two security guards at the entrance staring at her back and forth like she was a lunatic, she had to explain.
