Chapter 224 (2/2)

Gong Yexiao had said that as long as a week pa.s.ses, and now, it was already halfway through the case. At most three days, he should have received the news!

No matter what, she had to win this case. She had to put Lu Hai, the main culprit, into prison and let him receive the punishment he deserved.

She really regretted that she had been too young and insensible back then. If she had known that her father's car accident was not simple, she would have definitely reported it.

When her father was on the verge of death, he definitely knew that there was someone who wanted to harm him. However, he didn't say it out loud. She believed that it was also to protect her! If she had investigated this matter at that time, how could Lu Hai possibly have let her off when he had power and influence?

Thinking about how his father had only considered her safety before he died, Cheng Liyue's eyes moistened. He felt that he was extremely unfilial.

At three o'clock, she received a call from Gong Yexiao. He was going to the neighboring city for a meeting this afternoon, and the Ozawa was handed over to her to take care of it.

”About what time?” Cheng Liyue could not help but ask.

”I'll be back as soon as possible.” Gong Yexiao laughed.

”It's best if he comes back earlier. Ozawa doesn't allow me to bathe him anymore!”

”Okay, I'll be back before nine.” Gong Yexiao promised.

Cheng Liyue pursed her lips and smiled, ”Okay.”

After hanging up the phone, a sweet feeling arose in Cheng Liyue's heart. Why is it that she and Gong Yexiao are becoming more and more constrained by husband and wife? She ate with a man and had to report to him, and when he was away on business, he would report to her, and she would expect him to come home early, and he would promise to come back early.

Wasn't this the way a husband and wife interacted?

At four-thirty in the afternoon, Cheng Liyue received the little guy from the two bodyguards and strolled around the shopping mall downstairs. She bought dinner for the two of them and decided not to go out.

Because the time spent with his son was the happiest.

Without Gong Yexiao at home, he felt that there was a bit of an atmosphere.

It was almost nine o'clock, and when Cheng Liyue saw that she wasn't back yet, she gave the little guy a bath and urged him to go to bed.

”Mummy, why hasn't Daddy returned yet?!” The little guy pouted.

”He might have something on his mind. Don't worry, he'll be back soon. You go to sleep first.”

”Really?”

”Of course it's true.” Cheng Liyue smiled gently and caressed his little head, ”Mummy will tell you a story.”

Cheng Liyue clearly stated that it was nine o'clock, why hasn't she come back yet? He didn't seem like a person who didn't know how to talk. Moreover, if he didn't come back, she should have made a call in advance!

The little guy blinked his eyes in relief, ”Un!” ”Alright.”

Cheng Liyue told her the story of the robot that the little guy was about to fall asleep, while blinking his eyes. Cheng Liyue sat beside him on the bed, accompanying him, allowing him to sleep peacefully.

It was 10 o'clock.

Cheng Liyue's heart couldn't help but tensed up. She had never felt so uneasy for no reason at all. Even though she believed that Gong Yexiao must have something to attend to before coming back, she couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive.

Around 10: 30, the door was suddenly knocked twice. Cheng Liyue was startled, could it be that Gong Yexiao had returned? Why didn't he unlock it directly?
