Chapter 971 - What Did That Man Do to You (2/2)

…

Zhou Yao did not return for two days in a row. Bai Qi’s alert and awkward mood relaxed. She played with Zhou Sileng and felt very, very happy.

However, happy times always fly by. In the blink of an eye, it was already Sunday afternoon.

Bai Qi held Zhou Sileng’s little hand and played on the lawn outside. Mother Zhou and the two maids took out a long jump rope. “Ms. Bai, let’s play jump rope together.”

“Jump rope? I don’t know how to play.” Bai Qi waved her hand.

“Ms. Bai, this is very fun and easy to learn. Come, I’ll show you.” Mother Zhou had the two maids swing the long rope. She went up and nimbly jumped through.

Mother Zhou’s memory went back to four years ago. At that time… Zhiyuan was still there. She had once played jump rope on the lawn like this. That was the happiest time for the entire family.

During these four years of Zhiyuan’s absence, the entire Zhou family became deserted. Zhou Yao insisted on moving out with Little Sileng and moved into this villa. Little Sileng grew up day by day without the love of a mother. As for Zhou Yao, other than the badges on his shoulder, he led a wasted life.

Mother Zhou’s eyes were a little teary, but this time, she didn’t want to cry. She was happy. For some reason, when she was with Bai Qi, she felt as if she was with Zhiyuan, very happy.

“Ms. Bai, come join us.” Mother Zhou quickly pushed Bai Qi over.

Seeing the rope swung over, Bai Qi yelped and jumped. Then she jumped through a second time, a third time…She had never played jump rope before. This was the first time based on her memory. But her movements were experienced, she wondered if she had played jump rope before.

“Bai Qi, I’m joining too.” Zhou Sileng also hopped in.

Mother Zhou reminded lovingly from aside, “Be careful, Sileng!”

“Grandma, I know!” Zhou Sileng was in front of Bai Qi, jumping in harmony with her.

Mother Zhou smiled and clapped her hands. “You guys jump, I’ll count for you. See if you can do a hundred jumps… One, two, three…”

At this moment, a luxurious black car stopped at the garage on the lawn. The door of the driver’s seat opened, and a handsome and tall figure came out.

Zhou Yao had returned.

He held a document in one hand and the car keys in the other hand as he walked towards the villa’s main entrance.

He stopped after a few steps.

He heard laughter coming from the other side. His mother was happily clapping her hands and counting. His tiny, little son and that woman were playing jump rope together. It was afternoon and the sun was setting in the west. The gorgeous and warm sun rays sprinkled all over their bodies…

Zhou Yao’s tensed muscles relaxed, and his cold and stern face gradually softened. In the past four years, his mother had never smiled like this before. He knew that his son had been very lonely. He knew the grief of this family, but he couldn’t be of any help.

But now, they were so happy. His gaze fell on that woman named Bai Qi. He could only see her from the side, and her soft, black hair covered half of her face. Her figure overlapped with Leng Zhiyuan’s in the depths of his heart.

Zhou Sileng was sweating profusely. When Mother Zhou counted to eighty, he couldn’t hold on any longer. He stopped and said, “Bai Qi, I can’t do it anymore. I’m so tired…”

Bai Qi also stopped. She stretched out her sleeve to wipe off the sweat from Zhou Sileng’s forehead. “It’s okay. Sileng did very well. We did eighty jumps this time. Next time, if we work harder and improve a little, we can do a hundred jumps.”

After receiving Bai Qi’s praise and encouragement, Zhou Sileng pounced over and hugged her leg. “Really? As long as Bai Qi thinks well of me, I’ll definitely be able to do it!”
