C1678 His Palms Were Full of Sweat
But now, even if she was alone in this bedroom, she still had some expectations.
She was looking forward to Lih Lingye's return.
It was like a wife waiting for her husband's return. Although waiting was lonely, she felt a warmth.
Yes, the warmth and sweetness of waiting.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door.
Moo Nuannuan thought Lih Lingye had returned. She jumped off the bed happily and rushed to the door. She opened the door and said, "Lingye..."
She realized something was wrong the moment she opened the door.
The person standing outside the door was not Lih Lingye, but Lih Xiaoning.
"Mom, is father not here?"
"Yes, he hasn't come back yet." Moo Nuannuan looked at the young man in front of her with slight embarrassment. After all, she was still wearing pajamas and was even barefooted.
She looked like she could not wait to welcome Lih Lingye.
"Did father leave any words for you tonight?"
"Yes, he said he wanted to go out for a walk." Moo Nuannuan looked at Lih Xiaoning. Although the young man still had a warm smile on his face, just like how he usually looked at her, she did not know why, but when the young man asked Lih Lingye about everything in detail, it made her panic.
Then, she hurriedly passed the phone to Lih Xiaoning, "Do you want to see it?"
Lih Xiaoning's eyes fell on Moo Nuannuan's phone. He wanted to take it directly, but he still politely said, "Is it convenient?"
"It's convenient. You can look at it. Feel free to look at it." Moo Nuannuan carelessly stuffed the phone into Lih Xiaoning's hand and accidentally touched the child's hand.
At this moment, the touch of the skin made her feel very familiar.
It was as if she had touched it many times.
"Ning..." she blurted out. She subconsciously called out in a low voice.
The young man who was looking at his phone froze. However, he did not stop to look at the conversation between Moo Nuannuan and Lih Lingye.
It was very rare. There were only a few sentences.
Therefore, in the blink of an eye, Lih Xiaoning had finished reading.
Just as Moo Nuannuan had said, Lih Lingye only said that he wanted to go out for a stroll. He didn't say anything else.
The child fell into deep thought.
It was still a long time before the night started when Lih Lingye, who used to be drunk and dreaming in T City, was talking about it.
However, as far as he knew about Lih Lingye's recent lifestyle, it was a little strange that he had yet to return.
He raised his head and looked at Moo Nuannuan. His ears were filled with the sound of Moo Nuannuan calling him in a low voice, as if the voice of his biological mother Bai Xianxian calling him in his memory.
His eyes turned red as he forcefully suppressed the sudden feeling of longing and softly said, "Mother, you go to sleep first. If there is news of father, you must tell me."
His sixth sense told him that something had happened to his father.
But now he did not want Moo Nuannuan to know.
The reason why he did not let Moo Nuannuan know was that he did not want her to worry about him.
He wanted his voice to be as gentle as possible and his expression to be as peaceful as possible.
However, his last two sentences still made the sensitive Moo Nuannuan sensitive. Just as she wanted to reach out and grab Lih Xiaoning who was about to leave, her mind instantly flashed the feeling she had when she touched this child. Hence, she forcefully pulled back her hand and anxiously said, "Ning, did something happen?"
Actually, she wanted to ask if something had happened to Lih Lingye.
But when she just said it, she felt that it was a jinx, so she definitely could not ask that.
"No." Lih Xiaoning did not hesitate at all when he noticed Moo Nuannuan's panic. He spoke in a very confident tone.
He still did not want Moo Nuannuan to worry.
"Really?" But Moo Nuannuan just didn't believe it.
"No." The child still insisted on this answer.
"Then I'll call Lingye and ask him to come back early. He will leave early tomorrow morning." Moo Nuannuan had never experienced such a large group of people going out together with so many people.
From following Lih Lingye to E Country, he had let her experience it many times and for the first time.
Thinking about it, it was all very beautiful.
However, just as she was about to dial back her phone, she heard Lih Xiaoning say: "I've already dialed. Mom, go to sleep first. If there's anything, just leave a message for father."
Lih Xiaoning still said it warmly.
Only the young man himself knew that at this moment, his palms were filled with sweat.
He had indeed called Lih Lingye back.
That was because after Lih Lingye called him, he wanted to pick up the phone, but was hung up by the other side.
Then he called again, but his phone was turned off.
So, Lih Xiaoning knew Lih Lingye's phone was off, so he didn't want Moo Nuannuan to call Lih Lingye again. Otherwise, he would be exposed.
As for the message, he could definitely leave it.
The only thing missing was Lih Lingye's reply.
"Alright." Moo Nuannuan agreed with a smile.
The youth's palms were still full of sweat.
But he really did not lie. He had indeed called Lih Lingye. As for whether Lih Lingye answered or not, he did not say anything, so it was not considered lying.
"Good night, mother." He wasn't young anymore. He was already eleven years old, so he wasn't used to calling his mommy and daddy anymore. That was why he wanted his mommy and daddy now.
That was what matched his current age and character.
"Good night, Ning. Sleep early." Moo Nuannuan watched Lih Xiaoning turn around. The young man's figure was long and slender like a painting. No matter how she looked at him, he looked elegant and handsome. Even if it was his back view, it was still not enough for her to see.
It was like a bamboo that had been turned back and forth in a dream. The green and green bamboo was flourishing.
It was the thriving vitality of her son.
The thought of 'son' flashed across her mind and Moo Nuannuan herself was shocked.
But then she told herself that it was only because Ning was Lih Lingye's son that she was now with Lih Lingye in a different way. That Lih Xiaoning was also her son.
"Good night, mother." The child turned around and looked at Moo Nuannuan with a warm smile, then turned around and walked back to his room.
Moo Nuannuan quietly watched Lih Xiaoning's back until the child entered her room and closed the door. She shook her head and closed the door. She went to bed and continued to wait for Lih Lingye.
The night in the suburbs manor was silent.
Occasionally, the fragrance of flowers drifted in through the window, accompanied by the chirping of early birds. She really liked this place. So when Lih Lingye said he wanted to buy it, she immediately agreed with him.
But at this moment, she was listening to the faintly discernible sounds outside the window by herself. Although it was very beautiful, she felt as if she had stepped into the ranks of old people.
