Jiang Yimian's heart also dropped slightly. He looked at Zhao Jingyan and saw a slight frown on his eyebrows.
Looking at the contacts on the screen, the screen took a breath, then slowly swiped the answer button, and asked impatiently: "What's the matter?"
Shi Wenye's voice came from the receiver, with a hint of anxiety: "Jingyan, something happened over there in Haicheng. We must rush there now."
"Yeah, I got it. I'll be right over." Zhao Jingyan hung up the phone and turned to Jiang Yimian: "You go back first, I may have to come back a few days later."
Jiang Yimian was slightly startled: "How many days will you be leaving?"
"I will come back after the matter is taken care of." Zhao Jingyan's words were devoid of any emotion.
"Then... you go early and come back early..." Jiang Yimian said in a low voice, and then turned around and left, not daring to stay for a moment longer.
When she turned around, his slender wrist was suddenly clasped hard by him.
Jiang Yimian subconsciously wanted to break free.
But she was held tightly by Zhao Jingyan, not allowing her to escape for even a moment. He lowered his eyes to meet her panicked almond eyes and said word by word: "Mianmian, during this period, don't try to have any thoughts. Just wait for me to come back. You know."
?"
Jiang Yimian's whole body shook violently, and he became panicked. After a moment, he lowered his eyes and said softly, "Yeah."
Zhao Jingyan didn't say anything more, but just stared at her with a deep look in his eyes, with a hint of subtlety and complexity that was difficult to detect.
"Can you let me go now?"
After a while, Jiang Yimian spoke in a low voice.
Zhao Jingyan said nothing, let go of her wrist, and then pulled her into his arms forcefully.
"Zhao Jingyan, you..." Jiang Yimian frowned slightly and wanted to push him away, but did not dare to use force.
Zhao Jingyan said nothing, but held her tighter and said in a hoarse voice: "Mianmian, be obedient these days."
When Jiang Yimian heard this, he lowered his eyebrows and did not resist again.
After a long time, Zhao Jingyan reluctantly let her go and tidied up the broken hair around her ears: "Go back and be good."
Jiang Yimian nodded and left without any nostalgia.
Looking at her hurried back, Zhao Jingyan's eyes dimmed little by little, and his long eyelashes lowered to cover up the loss and bitterness in them.
After hearing the sound of the door being closed again in the old corridor, he gathered his thoughts and looked at the door in front of him again, wondering what he was thinking.
After a moment, Zhao Jingyan looked away, lowered his eyes, edited a text message, and pressed the send button.
——
The moment Jiang Yimian returned home, he collapsed to the ground.
She didn't know whether Zhao Jingyan had any doubts about her daughter's existence. All this undoubtedly made her even more panicked.
Just when she was in trouble, a phone rang, jerking her back to reality.
It's Lu Yingzhen.
Jiang Yimian hesitated for a moment, but still pressed the connect button.
"Mianmian, are you busy tonight?"
There was a hint of fatigue in his voice, he must have just gotten off the operating table.
Jiang Yimian was startled for a moment, thought of something, and then said warmly: "I'm not busy."
Lu Yingzhen seemed to feel something strange on the other end of the phone and asked, "What's wrong with you? Are you in a bad mood?"
"It's nothing, I'm just a little tired." Jiang Yimian explained in a low voice.
Is it because of him?" Lu Yingzhen guessed.
After a long silence, Jiang Yimian said softly: "Can we come out to have dinner together tonight?"
She needs his help with something.
"Okay, I'll pick you up in the evening." Lu Yingzhen responded. This chapter has been completed!
