He asked if she was still unsatisfied with last night? Han Li didn’t speak, nor did she express her attitude, walking straight ahead to press the elevator button, looking arrogant.
This woman is really a complete stranger! If not for her performance last night, he would be doubting himself right now.
Stepping into the elevator, the two of them fell silent again, just like their arrival last night. They didn’t speak, but their inner feelings were different, especially Zhao Tingxing, who felt a lingering sense of incompleteness.
When the elevator stopped on the 20th floor, I saw the young couple from last night get in. They were still acting like they were better than everyone else, not even glancing at the other two couples in the elevator. They just continued talking to each other.
Compared to last night’s energetic self, the young man leaned against the elevator wall and said to the girl, “Isn’t this going on forever? Give me a break.”
“Didn’t I say, can’t tonight, let me catch my breath.”
When Zhao Tingxing saw the boy, he noticed dark circles under his eyes and a listless appearance. This man was known to be vengeful and would always seek retribution. He patted the young man’s shoulder and said in a serious tone, “You’re so young yet so weak. You need to build yourself up.”
A young man turned back and gave him a strange look. He realized it was the man he’d met in the elevator last night: “Who are you? Are you sick?”
Zhao Tingxing smiled but said nothing. Compared to the young man in front of him, his mental state was completely superior. Even the young man’s girlfriend couldn’t help but look him up and down, giving Han Li an envious glance.
Han Li naturally wouldn’t participate in such things. He looked straight ahead at the elevator numbers, and when the elevator reached the first floor, he took his suitcase and walked out of the elevator first.
Zhao Tingxing didn’t want to fight either, and he hurriedly walked out of the elevator, taking big strides towards her. He put his arm around her shoulder and walked out, whispering in her ear as they went: “See? Sometimes things like this don’t have anything to do with age, right?”
Han Li didn’t deny it, which was tantamount to admitting it. He wasn’t much different from when he worked on the construction site back then. In fact, because he didn’t have to do hard labor every day now, his physical strength was even better than before.
Two people arrived in the capital by noon flight and went straight to the kindergarten. It was just in time for school dismissal. Han Zhaoyi, carrying his schoolbag and a small water bottle, came out. Seeing them, his eyes lit up instantly, and he couldn’t wait to run out of the class line. Han Li waved his hand, signaling him to queue properly.
When they got to their class, he let go of the teacher’s hand and ran over excitedly: “Dad, Mom.”
This was the first time he had called them both together like that, yet it felt so natural, as if he had grown up with his parents all along. Han Li’s eyes welled up with warmth, her chest filled with a subtle sense of happiness. Zhao Tingxing crouched down and scooped up the running person, carrying him on his shoulders. Han Li took his backpack and water bottle.
Whether looking near or far, they are a particularly pleasing and happy family of three.
In reality, they truly were a happy family of three. All that was missing was the marriage certificate, and the official household registration with all three names listed together. However, Han Li didn’t care about these things; they were irrelevant to her. A sense of security wasn’t derived from such things. After all, many people got married only to divorce later. But she wasn’t in a rush either way; she was just letting things unfold naturally.
In the following days, she helped Han Zhao Yi with the transfer procedures and also took the opportunity to organize all the materials of the Beijing branch. This way, when Yiwu returned home, she could start working directly. Her in-service postgraduate studies were relatively simple. As it was a program jointly run by their company and Senzhou University, she could go directly to Senzhou University for classes afterwards.
Everything was ready, just waiting for the weekend to take Han Zhaoyi back to Senzhou. On Friday evening, Han Zhaoyi went back to his children’s room early and slept. Such a good time and beautiful scenery, Zhao Tingxing naturally couldn’t disappoint it. He scooped up Han Li and threw him onto the bed in the guest room.
The bed in the room is quite simple, with no storage underneath, making it easy to move. The headboard features a stylish wrought iron railing design.
Zhao Tingxing was having a good time at the hotel last time, and this time he was doing the same thing. He took handcuffs specialized for this purpose and handcuffed Han Li’s hands to the iron bedpost, making him unable to move.
Wasn’t she saying for him to try again?
It’s not that he and someone else each have their own merits, is it?
He’d let her see what it meant to have their own unique qualities.
Actually, he’s all talk and no action. He puts on a tough act, but one glance or sound from Han Li is enough to make him forget everything else.
How about that? <<<
Hobbies.
Who is better?
gritted her teeth and said nothing.
He worked even harder.
The two were fighting passionately in the guest room across from Han Zhao Yi’s children. Suddenly, a voice, which to them sounded like a horror movie soundtrack, came from behind the door: “Daddy, Mommy, what are you doing?”
The door to the guest room was opened at some point, and Han Zhaoyi stood sleepily by the doorway.
Zhao Tingxing stiffened all over. He understood now what it felt like to be scared by a man, and he hastily pulled the blanket over himself. Luckily, he hadn’t turned on the light before. Only the hallway’s motion-sensor light was shining in, so Han Zhaoyi probably hadn’t seen clearly.
He said irritably, “I’m playing games with Mom. Go away first.”
Han Zhaoyi was feeling very sleepy at first, but as soon as she heard they were playing games, she immediately became interested and ran over bouncingly: “I want to play too, I want to play too.”
Helen was flushed, but now she felt a chill run through her. Her hand was still locked in the iron bed frame and she whispered to Zhao Ting: “Please unlock it for me.”
Zhao Tingxing saw that little bastard was about to jump onto the bed, and he forcefully pulled himself out of her body. Compared to taking off her “handcuffs,” he felt it was more important at this moment to put on each other’s clothes.
Han Li was alright, she just wore a suspender nightgown and didn’t take it off. He casually pulled the nightgown that had piled up at her waist down, very safe.
Then he quickly pulled his pants up from the floor, flustered by this little rascal’s sudden appearance, as if caught in the act.
He got dressed, and the first thing he did was throw the little punk out.
But helplessly, Han Zhaoyi had already climbed onto the bed and seeing his mother fiddling with the chain in her hand, he also wanted to play.
Han Li was speechless, all thanks to Zhao Tingxing. He said to him, “Open it first.”
Han Zhao Yi was eager to try and have Zhao Ting Xing lock him up too.
Result
Zhao Tingxing <<<
in a flurry of activity just now
I couldn’t find the key to unlock the door, so I turned on the big light in the room to look for it, but I still couldn’t find it.
He even doubted that there was never a key to begin with.
“Could it be a password lock?”
“No.”
“What should we do?”
“Only firefighters can do it.”
“Get out of here, jerk.” Han Li was speechless. How could she have lost her keys? She gritted her teeth and said to Han Zhao Yi, “Mom and Dad want to play hide-and-seek. Why don’t you hide first?”
His clear eyes kept looking at them. Han Li couldn’t bear the torment inside, he was so embarrassed, and wanted to get him out of there first.
Han Zhaoyi refused to leave: “You’re lying to children, I won’t leave. I want to play too.”
