Chapter 252 Love and reluctance to part with children
In the slightly quaint building of the Wushu Association, Bai Jinrong sat alone and quietly on the office chair of President Bai's office. The air around her seemed to have frozen, and only her eyes were fixed on a toad ornament next to her desk.
The toad was lifelike, as if staring at her, but she was unaware that her thoughts had already drifted away. While her mind was wandering, the scene of her first wrestling with Jiang Chengyu was playing in her mind like a movie.
At that time, both of them were full of youthful spirit and stubbornness. Bai Jinrong looked proud and her bright eyes were full of provocation. She asked Jiang Chengyu loudly, "Do you accept it?"
Jiang Chengyu humbly lay on the coffee table, with a wry smile on his face, and said softly, "I admit defeat."
Bai Jinrong's eyes flashed with cunning, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she said: "Then I will give you a reward."
Before she finished her words, she was like a clever little deer, quickly kissing Jiang Chengyu on the fair cheek, leaving a red lip print. The lip print was as bright and eye-catching as a red plum blossom blooming on the snow.
Just as Bai Jinrong was immersed in her memories, the silence was broken by a burst of hurried and chaotic footsteps.
"Miss, I searched all over G City to the east, but I couldn't find Mr. Jiang."
The person who spoke was a thin man, his face full of anxiety and fatigue, with beads of sweat the size of beans rolling down his forehead.
As he finished speaking, a group of people rushed into the office, saying in unison: "Miss, I didn't find Mr. Jiang there, and neither did I."
The office suddenly became noisy, with all kinds of sounds intertwined together, like ants on hot pot.
Bai Jinrong suddenly came back to her senses, a gleam of determination flashed in her eyes, and she suddenly stood up, with the majesty of a queen. She shouted loudly: "Keep looking for it until you find it."
Everyone responded in unison: "Yes, Miss."
Afterwards, these people retreated quickly like the tide, swarming out of the office one by one, and their figures disappeared at the office door one by one, leaving only Bai Jinrong. Her lonely figure looked particularly lonely in the empty office.
Bai Jinrong had a worried look on her face, and the scene on the balcony of Jinyang Villa emerged involuntarily in her mind.
It was a sunny day. I walked into the bedroom and saw Jiang Chengyu sitting cross-legged in meditation. He had his eyes closed and his face was as calm as water, as if he was in another world.
At this moment, Bai Jinrong had a playful look on her face, and an inexplicable impulse surged in her heart. She took advantage of the situation again and gently kissed Jiang Chengyu on the corner of his mouth.
However, this sweet moment was broken by Mu Xiaoji who pushed the door open. The two immediately fell to the ground in ambiguous postures.
Mu Xiaoji rushed into the bedroom, his eyes glaring with anger, and he shouted, "Little monster, what are you doing?"
Jiang Chengyu panicked and pushed Bai Jinrong away. He ran to the door and apologized to Mu Xiaoji: "I'm sorry, Xiaoji, please listen to my explanation. It's not what you see."
Mu Xiaoji was furious at this time, his face flushed red with anger, and he slapped Jiang Chengyu hard in the face. Jiang Chengyu lost his balance and fell to the ground.
But he didn't seem angry at all, and he was still nervous and apologized to Mu Xiaoji again and again.
Bai Jinrong was watching from the side, feeling angry and anxious. She shouted angrily, "Jiang Chengyu, you are still not a man. He hit you and you apologized to him?"
Thinking about these little bits and pieces of the past, Bai Jinrong seemed to be pulled by an invisible force and walked out of the office door involuntarily.
Her steps were a little messy, but her eyes were determined. Soon, she arrived at the gate of the Wushu Association and hailed a taxi.
After getting in the car, she said to the driver in a hurried tone: "Jinyang Villa Building 108."
After receiving the address, the driver stepped on the accelerator and the taxi shot into the rolling traffic like an arrow, leaving only a trail of dust.
Bai Jinrong sat in the back seat, looking at the street scene that was receding outside the car window, praying silently in her heart that she could find Jiang Chengyu in Jinyang Villa.
A yellow taxi sped like a flash of lightning, raising a cloud of dust on the road; as time passed, the car stopped steadily at the magnificent entrance of Jinyang Villa District.
As soon as the car stopped, Luo Jinxi got out of the car with a lost look. She was wearing a light blue dress that swayed gently in the breeze, but at this moment, the dress seemed to be covered with a layer of haze, shaking with her heavy steps.
She walked towards the 108th floor step by step, and every step seemed to carry endless loss.
When she reached the door, she took a deep breath and pressed the doorbell with trembling fingers. The "ding dong ding dong" sound echoed in the silent corridor, but no one came to open the door.
While waiting, Bai Jinrong couldn't help but recall the scene of her first visit here.
At that time, when the door opened, Jiang Chengyu's appearance was clearly imprinted in her mind.
His face flushed slightly, like the charming sunset on the horizon, revealing a heart-warming shyness.
The white shirt on his body was soaked with sweat and stuck tightly to his back. The sweat stains spread out like an irregular ink painting, showing his youthful vitality.
He stood there, his whole body like a lotus emerging from water, with a youthful tenderness, pure eyes and slightly upturned mouth corners, making Bai Jinrong's heart beat like a deer at that moment.
But now, Jiang Chengyu was nowhere to be found, and she was left alone. She walked slowly to the stairs with a lonely look on her face, as if all the strength in her body had been drained.
She slowly squatted down, hugged her knees with her hands and buried her chin deeply in them.
At this moment, her soul seemed to have left her body. The wandering soul didn't know where to drift to. Everything around her had nothing to do with her, except for the closed door and him in her memories.
The weather-beaten jeep sped through the winding tunnel like a tireless beast.
The lights in the tunnel are as bright as daylight, and each beam of light is like countless pairs of gentle hands, gently caressing the road ahead.
The light seemed to contain a father's deep reluctance and full expectations for his children. This emotion was like a silk thread, intertwining and entwining in the air.
Qin Haibin sat in the driver's seat, his hands firmly gripping the steering wheel, his knuckles slightly white from the force, and every subtle movement revealed his caution.
His eyes quickly scanned the road ahead, carefully selecting a relatively flat route, trying to make the car run as smoothly as possible on this bumpy road to reduce everyone's discomfort.
When the jeep finally came out of the tunnel, the bright and dazzling sunlight covered the earth.
The golden light was like a sacred veil, gently covering everything.
The graceful warm sun is like a kind mother, gently bathing the entire mountain where the tunnel is located in the morning sun.
Under the reflection of the sun, the mountain seems to have turned into a child returning to its mother's arms, showing its impeccable charm, and every rock texture seems to be smiling.
The weather-beaten jeep slowly drove out of the long tunnel like a tired but determined old ox.
As the car came to a steady stop, everyone opened the doors and got out. The sun shone on everyone, outlining their tall and graceful figures.
Luo Shaoqing stood there with a loving smile on his face, a smile full of love and reluctance to part with his children.
He looked at Luo Jinxi gently and said earnestly, "Jinxi, drive slowly on the way back and be careful. I'll take you here! Go back quickly!"
His voice was a little hoarse, but it contained unmistakable concern.
Tears welled up in Luo Jinxi's beautiful eyes. She looked reluctant and shouted at Qin Haibin:
"Qin Haibin, I'm asking you to take care of my dad, so don't be lazy! If anything happens to my dad, I won't forgive you!" Her voice was a little coquettish and worried.
After saying that, she bit her lip, as if mustering up a lot of courage, turned around and walked quickly towards the cab of the jeep.
"Don't worry, Luo Jinxi. I will take good care of Professor Luo wholeheartedly. Have a safe journey!" Qin Haibin responded loudly and affectionately.
After she got into the driver's seat and the car started, the shadow of the departing car gradually went away. The raised dust looked like golden smoke under the sunlight, slowly submerging the shadow of the car.
Luo Shaoqing's eyes followed closely until he could no longer see her. Then he seemed to wake up from a beautiful dream, and the reluctance in his eyes became stronger.
Luo Shaoqing walked into the jeep and stared at it for a while before reluctantly turning around and getting in the car.
Qin Haibin started the car and drove into the tunnel. The roar of the engine echoed in the tunnel, as if it was his inner cry of reluctance.
Cui Jiani drove the Land Rover Range Rover slowly into the yard of Jinyang Villa and stopped steadily in the parking space.
Cui Jiani pushed open the car door and got out swiftly, and the two people behind her also got out of the car.
The three people's attention was instantly attracted to the figure on the steps. It was Bai Jinrong. She was sitting on the steps, curled up pitifully, like a wounded deer.
There was no ripple in her dull eyes, like a lifeless clay statue, standing quietly at the door, motionless, as if the whole world had nothing to do with her.
Jiang Chengyu and Mu Xiaoji looked at each other, then slowly approached Bai Jinrong.
The first thing that caught Bai Jinrong's eyes was a pair of feet wearing white sneakers. The white shoes were a little dirty and stained with a little dust.
At this time, Bai Jinrong seemed to be slowly waking up from a deep sleep and showed some reaction.
She slowly raised her head, her eyes gradually brightened as she saw Jiang Chengyu. She immediately stood up excitedly and hugged Jiang Chengyu tightly, asking with a trembling voice: "Jiang Chengyu, where did you go? It took me a long time to find you."
Jiang Chengyu gently pushed Bai Jinrong away, his eyes somewhat evasive, not daring to look directly into Bai Jinrong's fiery and eager gaze. He whispered, "I'm going to Xiaoyang Village. Thank you for your concern."
Bai Jinrong was stunned for a moment, then she seemed to muster up great courage, stood there at a loss for a moment, and then blushed and said: "Jiang Chengyu, I like you, can I be your girlfriend?"
Jiang Chengyu had just calmed down his inner tangled emotions of the past few days, but at this moment, Bai Jinrong's sudden question made his face turn red again. He looked back at Mu Xiaoji in panic.
Seeing this, Bai Jinrong suddenly became tense. She said angrily, "Jiang Chengyu, I'm asking you, what are you looking at him for?"
Mu Xiaoji looked serious and said firmly, "Because I am his lover."
Bai Jinrong asked in disbelief: "Jiang Chengyu, I'm asking you. Mu Xiaoji is insidious and cunning. I don't believe what he says."
Jiang Chengyu took a deep breath, as if he had finally made up his mind, and said slowly: "Xiao Ji is right, we got married at the mountain fall machine a few years ago, and this is basically known to everyone."
After saying this, Jiang Chengyu felt relieved. He said out loud what he was afraid to say. The knot in his heart seemed to have been put down, and he suddenly felt much more relieved.
When Bai Jinrong heard this, she felt as if her world had collapsed in an instant. Her tears burst out uncontrollably, like pearls that had broken off a string, flowing uncontrollably.
The tears flowed down her cheeks and wet her clothes, and every drop was like the blood of her broken heart.
Jiang Chengyu panicked when he saw this, and said helplessly: "Don't cry, as if I did something to you!" But his words seemed so pale and powerless at this moment.
