Fu Jingchuan left the company before getting off work.
As soon as the person opened the door, he saw Tongtong playing alone on the crawling mat.
The setting sun passed through the balcony and fell into the living room. The yellowish light under the cold air gave an inexplicable feeling of loneliness and desolation.
Fu Jingchuan couldn't help but stare at Tongtong, but in his mind was Shiyang's back dragging the suitcase away.
He tilted his head slightly, and his bulging Adam's apple rose and fell violently in the sunset light.
Sister Gao, who was busy, looked up and saw him and said hello to him: "Mr. Fu, are you back?"
Tongtong, who was playing with a toy by herself, looked up when she heard the sound. She was very happy to see Fu Jingchuan coming back from get off work. She immediately put down the toy and ran towards him with a bang.
Fu Jingchuan knelt down and opened his arms to hug Tongtong, who was flying towards him.
"Mom, are you home today?" He stroked her long, messy hair and asked her softly.
"Yes." Tongtong nodded, "Mom said she is going on a business trip."
"Did mom say when she would be back?" Fu Jingchuan asked.
Tongtong pouted and shook her head, looking a little depressed, but she quickly became happy: "But mom said she will call me when she is free."
"Yes." Fu Jingchuan responded softly, stroking her hair with his palms and saying no more.
In the evening, Fu Jingchuan took Tongtong to dinner and walked with her outdoors as usual, but perhaps because of Shiyang's absence, these trivial daily routines that were supposed to be warm became inexplicably boring.
The little girl was young and her feelings about parting were still relatively shallow. As soon as she arrived at the playground area, she devoted herself wholeheartedly to having fun.
Only Fu Jingchuan was a little absent-minded.
It even felt like the time was a bit unbearably long.
Fu Jingchuan didn't know how Shiyang felt about raising the child alone for the past two years, but since she resolutely chose to leave her father and keep her son, she must be happy.
He is the only one who is unhappy.
He was the only one affected by this marriage.
The hesitation and mania in my heart were like a beast that couldn't find an outlet, raging crazily.
The raging emotions almost turned that feeling into hate.
I hate her cruelty, and I hate meeting her.
He roughly understood what Shiyang once said, how wonderful it would be if he had never met her.
When he got home in the evening, Fu Jingchuan took Tongtong to take a bath and put her to bed.
Shiyang never called back from beginning to end.
Tongtong, who usually went to bed early, was reluctant to sleep and insisted on waiting for her mother's call.
"Mom may be busy with work and hasn't had time to call Tongtong." Fu Jingchuan would coax her softly, "Tongtong will go to bed first. Can you wait until mom is done with her work and then call Tongtong?"
Tongtong has always been an obedient child. As soon as her father said that her mother was busy, she immediately nodded obediently, closed her eyes, and fell asleep soon.
Fu Jingchuan stared at Tongtong's peaceful sleeping face for a long time, and then his eyes turned to the mobile phone aside.
The phone is quiet and motionless.
He took the phone and dialed Shiyang's number without any expression on his face.
"Sorry, the number you dialed is currently active."
Unexpectedly, when I dialed the phone, I received a cold and polite prompt from customer service.
Fu Jingchuan immediately cut off the phone, stood up and walked to the study.

In the hotel
Shiyang was calling Sister Gao to ask her about Tongtong's condition.
"Tongtong has gone to bed." Sister Gao dutifully reported Tongtong's condition to Shiyang, "Mr. Fu came back early in the evening, had dinner with her, took her to the park, and just put her to sleep. .”
"Did she cry today?" Shiyang asked softly.
"No, I've always been good." Sister Gao said, "Why did you call back so late?"
Shiyang: "I've been busy, I just got some free time."
"Do you need me to call Tongtong?" Sister Gao asked.
"No need." Shiyang stopped her, "If she falls asleep, let her sleep. I'll call her tomorrow morning."
Sister Gao nodded: "That's okay, then you should rest first, don't be too tired."
"Well, you should also go to bed early."
After saying that, Shiyang hung up the phone, only to find that a missed call reminder text message came into his phone. It was Fu Jingchuan's call.
She stared at the phone for a while, then opened WeChat and sent a message to Fu Jingchuan: "What's the matter?"
"never mind."
Fu Jingchuan came back quickly, saying calmly, with no emotion at all.
Shiyang didn't know how to reply, so he replied "Yeah".
Fu Jingchuan never came back.
The next day, Shiyang had time to send Tongtong a WeChat video after nine o'clock.
The little girl was still very excited to see her. She pulled Shiyang and asked a bunch of questions.
Children in the language explosion period are curious babies, and one question can lead to thousands of questions.
"Are Tongtong and dad happy at home?" Shiyang asked her softly while she was trying to think of the next question.
Tongtong nodded heavily: "Yes, I'm happy."
Then he counted on his fingers the good things Fu Jingchuan did to her. Each one was specific and detailed.
When it comes to being a good father, Fu Jingchuan is impeccable.
Tongtong is also very used to living alone with Fu Jingchuan.
Shiyang also felt a little relieved.
Tongtong doesn't have to worry about it, she has more energy and time to deal with the problems here.
The newly hired exploration team came over on the third day, and the survey results showed no problems.
Xu Dagui organized another meeting and communication between the designer team and the construction team.
The meeting was held in a temporary conference room on the construction site, and the meeting time was scheduled for the afternoon when it was getting dark.
As soon as the exploration team produced the paper results, Xu Dagui arranged the meeting without stopping.
