Li Hanting did what he said. Even though he was very busy dealing with matters in the North American branch, he still took the time to send her a message.
Because there is a time difference of several hours between the two of them, it is impossible for him to send a message and she can reply immediately, and it is impossible to make a video voice call.
But every time Qiao Yunshu opens WeChat when she has free time, she will see several messages from Li Hanting, and they are all sent at different times. She can almost imagine that the man opposite will take out his mobile phone to share with her whenever he is free. Funny stories or everyday chats.
This feeling cannot be described in accurate words, but it makes Qiao Yunshu feel at ease.
Maybe this is the long-lasting way of getting along with each other that she has always wanted, and can be felt from the smallest details.
Although it is not very dramatic, she will still find from these small details that the man does take her to heart, so he takes time out of his busy schedule to chat with her.
Even when Li Hanting went out to socialize, he would send her a photo to show that he was indeed discussing business with others, rather than going to some informal place to do bad things.
Qiao Yunshu laughed dumbly and said that he didn't have to do this. Even if Li Hanting didn't report to her, she knew that he was different from other men.
Ever since he started managing Yunji Pastries, Qiao Yunshu would inevitably interact with men in the business world when going out to socialize. From them, she realized that some so-called social occasions in some people's minds were actually going to too serious KTV or Having fun in an erotic club like an entertainment club is a good name. This is an indispensable part of the shopping mall. Everyone deals with it this way. If you don't do this, you will be squeezed out and won't be able to sign.
She sneered at these phenomena, but had no ability to change them.
But Li Hanting was different. Apart from the fact that he really liked himself, he was also a clean and self-sufficient man. Otherwise, people in the industry would not comment on his lack of sexual desire and his lack of desire.
Therefore, Qiao Yunshu was particularly relieved about Li Hanting.
But the man said, "It's your business that you trust me, and it's my business that I report to you. I know you trust me, but I still want to make you feel more at ease."
He took the time to send his voice, and you could hear several men talking quietly in the background.
After Li Hanting said this, he put down his phone and joined the conversation of several bosses without changing his expression.
One of the bosses was a little curious, "Mr. Li, are you reporting to your wife?"
His tone was neither humble nor arrogant, "Not yet, we are chasing."
Everyone was a little surprised that a man as talented and outstanding as him actually lowered his stature to chase women in person. They couldn't help but wonder how beautiful and beautiful the woman he wanted to pursue was, or how beautiful she was. Talk about being talented.
Moreover, these bosses have a new understanding of Li Haiting. They have heard about her not being a womanizer and her cold and distant character before, but they really gained a new understanding today.
The waiters who came to serve drinks in the private room they booked were all young and beautiful women. This was actually normal. Like many high-end restaurants, the waiters were all beautiful women with good looks and figures.
Li Hanting just took one look and called the manager, saying that all the waiters should be replaced by men.
The manager was frightened at the time and thought those women had done something to make her unhappy. In the end, he said lightly, "It's not their fault. They didn't do anything wrong. It's just that I am pursuing the person I love, so I want to be with someone else." The woman needs to keep her distance or she will be unhappy.”
After this dinner, several bosses' impressions of Li Han spread to the country. Somehow, when they discuss cooperation with Li Hanting in the future, everyone will consciously not bring a female companion, and will not engage in power and sex transactions that are common in shopping malls. That way, I won't make this man unhappy and the business will go bad.
And everyone also had a new understanding of the woman Li Hanting was pursuing, that is, Qiao Yunshu. Everyone secretly discussed that Qiao Yunshu looked gentle and beautiful, but she was actually a woman who controlled her men very strictly.
Even Qiao Yunshu herself didn't know why she was inexplicably accused of jealousy.
More than 20 days have passed, and Li Hanting's matter in North America has finally been resolved.
He adjusted his schedule, called Qiao Yunshu according to the domestic time, and told her about his upcoming return to China.
Qiao Yunshu suddenly realized that nearly a month had passed without her realizing it.
To be honest, she was not used to Li Hanting's departure these days.
Because before that, he had always appeared by her side, and over time she got used to his appearance every day. So after leaving for a while, things suddenly changed around her. She always felt empty in her heart, and something seemed to be lost. An average piece.
So habits are really an extremely scary thing. They cling to corners like spider webs. Although they are not easy for people to notice, as long as something changes one day, they can be noticed, although it is not painful. It's itchy, but it's always uncomfortable.
Now that she heard that he was about to return to China, Qiao Yunshu felt quite happy.
But she didn't show those emotions on her face, but smiled slightly, "Oh."
Li Hanting said, "I have prepared a gift for you. I think you will like it."
Qiao Yunshu was a little curious, "What is it?"
"A piece of jewelry. As for what it is, keep it secret for now. You will know when I come back."
She hummed softly, "If you don't want to say it, don't say it. You'll be back soon anyway."
Neither of them expected that Qiao Yunshu would not receive the gift he prepared for her in North America.
That day was the weekend. Qiao Yunshu did not go to the company and was playing with her two children at home. She went to the water dispenser to get a glass of water, and suddenly her heart stung sharply, as if she had been pricked by a needle.
Although the pain was fleeting, the feeling was so novel that it was unprecedented.
And his eyelids jumped up almost at the same time. The water glass in his hand suddenly fell off and hit the ground with a "pop", and immediately turned into broken glass shards.
For some unknown reason, Qiao Yunshu felt some inexplicable panic in her heart, as if something bad was about to happen.
She knelt down to pick up the glass fragments, but accidentally cut her hand on the fragments. She felt a pain in her fingers, and a steady stream of blood flowed from the wound.
She held the cut hand blankly until her grandmother heard the sound and walked out of the room. She took her hand distressedly and said, "Oh, you silly child. If the cup breaks, just break it." Just take a broom and sweep it away, why are you picking it up with your own hands? Do you think you're injured?"
Qiao Yunshu couldn't tell where this inexplicable panic came from.
But thinking about it carefully, this feeling was a bit familiar, just like the day before the college entrance examination, she was in school, and she felt flustered when she didn't come. Then a teacher came in and told her that her grandmother had fallen.
But now her grandma is fine by her side, and nothing happened to An An and Nao Nao. So where did this feeling come from?
Suddenly, Qiao Yunshu realized something, and Li Hanting's cold and handsome face appeared in his mind.
It can't be that something happened to him, right?
But Li Hanting is the leader of the Lishi Group, surrounded by countless bodyguards, and there is a mysterious force behind him. Today is the day when he is flying back from North America. What can happen to him?
Qiao Yunshu hurriedly opened her phone and sent him a message, but the person opposite did not reply. It was normal to think about it. According to the time, he might be on the plane now, so it was natural that he would not receive her message. .
She even went to read the news on the Internet, but it didn't say anything about the plane crash from North America to China. Could it be that she was really overthinking it?
But the next second, her cell phone rang, and it turned out to be a call from Li's mother. The moment she saw the contact, the panic in Qiao Yunshu's heart increased several times, and the bad premonition became even stronger. .
"Hey, Auntie, what's the matter?"
"Yun Shu..." Mother Li's cry came from the other end of the phone.
In Qiao Yunshu's memory, Mother Li has always been a very elegant lady. The upbringing she has received since she was a child does not allow her to show too many fragile emotions in front of outsiders. She must always maintain her own image. But now that he is choking to such an extent, it means something big must have happened.
Qiao Yunshu's throat seemed to be blocked by something, and even the words he spoke were extremely laborious, "Did something happen?"
Mother Li's big tears fell straight down, and the unbearable pain hit her again, "Han Ting, something happened to Han Ting!"
Qiao Yunshu only felt a "buzzing" in her head, and everything went blank. She asked in a trembling voice, "What did you say? Can you say it again?"
She didn't believe it. She didn't believe anything would happen to Li Hanting. He was Li Hanting. How could something happen to such a powerful man?
The person on the other end of the phone burst into tears, "Han Ting originally flew back from North America today, but there was another impromptu meeting that he needed to handle this morning. They were attacked by a group of terrorists on the cruise ship, and Han Ting fell into the sea. , the search and rescue team has not found him yet, and his life and death are unknown..."
Qiao Yunshu felt that all the blood in her body was flowing backwards, her heart seemed to be pinched by a big hand, and she was in unbearable pain.
It seemed as if something collapsed in her ears. She suddenly collapsed on the ground, every word Mama Li said echoing in her mind. It was obviously a hot summer day, but she felt like she had fallen into an ice cellar. General, feeling cold all over.
Her mind went blank, and Li Hanting's voice kept echoing in her ears, thinking of the gift he was about to give her.
Every word the man said through her and every subtle expression he made were repeated in front of her like a revolving lantern.
She regretted so much why she didn't go to the airport to see him off, why she didn't tell him that she missed him, and why she didn't tell him that she was actually looking forward to his gift.
But it's too late to say anything now. If something really happens to Li Hanting, what should he do?
Qiao Yunshu's tears fell one by one like broken beads. She covered her mouth and tried not to cry out, but the tears still flowed uncontrollably.
Her hands shook uncontrollably, like an epileptic patient having a seizure.
The grandmother next to her was also frightened. She hugged her and wiped away her tears sadly, "Silly boy, don't be so sad yet. The search and rescue team hasn't found his body yet. There is still hope for him to survive." , you have to take care of yourself first, you still have two children."
The word "corpse" seemed to prick Qiao Yunshu's torn wound, making her breathing sting.
She really couldn't imagine how an omnipotent man like Li Hanting would turn into a cold corpse and be fished out of the sea.
That was the sea. There were so many ferocious carnivorous fish in the sea. Li Hanting's body might not be completely fished out. He might have been buried in the belly of the fish at this moment.
This very possible fact made Qiao Yunshu's heart aching even more, and her tears fell down like pearls with broken strings.
An An and Nao Nao seemed to have sensed something. They were playing games just now, but now they suddenly burst into tears. No matter how much Aunt Zhang was there, they couldn't coax them.
While shedding tears, Qiao Yunshu hugged the two children into her arms and rubbed her soft little faces with her head, feeling extremely sad in her heart.
Are these two poor children without their biological father?
Grandma and Aunt Zhang waved their hands, which meant that she should just be alone for a while. They couldn't say anything to comfort her here. Qiao Yunshu has a strong character and will definitely adjust herself and come out of her grief. , revived.
The two children were able to speak. At this time, as if they had some awareness, they actually called out the word "dad".
At that moment, Qiao Yunshu stood there stiffly as if he had been struck by lightning.
Her tears were like broken beads, falling one by one. She covered her mouth and tried not to cry out, but the tears still flowed uncontrollably.
The figure of Li Hanting flashed in her mind, that tall and handsome man who had given her countless warmth and care, but now suddenly disappeared from her life.
She seemed to see him struggling in the sea, and saw his pain and helplessness as he was submerged in the sea. Her heart was pounding and she couldn't breathe.
She hugged her two children tightly, their hair wet with tears. An An and Nao Nao had tears on their little faces, and they looked at her with wide eyes.
Qiao Yunshu hugged them tightly.
Li Hanting, did you hear that? The kids can already call you daddy.
Come back soon
