Chapter 176 - Investigate Clearly (1/2)
Just now, when Nan Xi approached him, he said something. It was precisely that sentence that made him watch helplessly as Xia Luobing left, making him want to chase after her, but his footsteps felt heavy.
Liu Yan’s face turned pale and she took a step back. “What are you talking about? Is it because of Xia Luobing and her mother?”
“I will investigate this matter clearly.”
Dropping these words, Huo Yunqi lifted his foot and left the garden, leaving behind the cold Liu Yan, the pale Xia Luoxin, and the guests who looked at each other.
After leaving the Huo Family villa, Xia Luobing carried Duo Duo into Lin Chen’s car. Looking at her daughter who had been obediently silent, she felt that her heart was so soft that she could pinch out water. She knew that this must be her child.
“Mommy, what’s wrong with you? Why don’t you take Daddy with you?” Duo Duo hugged Xia Luobing’s arm and asked softly, “Daddy is very sad.”
Xia Luobing was stunned for a moment, then patted Duo Duo’s back gently and coaxed, “Mommy will love Duo Duo.”
As for that daddy, since he was already engaged to someone else, he naturally had nothing to do with her daughter.
“Luo Bing, your daughter is very beautiful.” Lin Chen turned around and smiled. He blinked at Duo Duo, who was lying in Xia Luobing’s arms. “You’re Duo Duo, aren’t you? Don’t worry, even if you don’t have a daddy in the future, uncle will still love you!”
Duo Duo looked at Lin Chen and leaned closer towards Xia Luobing’s embrace. It was as if she had seen something terrifying. Lin Chen immediately had a black line on his face. He rubbed his chin dejectedly and turned around. He started the car while looking at the silent South Stream. “Am I that scary?”
Nanxi glanced at Lin Chen and nodded, “Yes.”
Lin Chen said, “…”
The three people who received Duo Duo returned to the villa by the water. After placing Duo Duo, Xia Luo Bing sat on the sofa in the living room in a daze. Her mind was filled with the scene of Huo Yunqi. His eyes were filled with anxiety and sadness, and her heart was filled with sadness just by looking at him.
He was about to get engaged to someone else, so why would he look at her with such a gaze, and why was she so sad?
“Luo Bing, what are you thinking?” Nan Xi handed Xia Luobing a glass of water and sat down opposite her. “You’re not happy.”
He remembered that Xia Luobing always had a thin layer of ice in her eyes when she was unhappy.
“Why would I get divorced?” Xia Luobing looked at Nan Xi doubtfully, “Am I the one who wants a divorce?”
No, no, it must be Yunqi Huo who wants a divorce. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be so sad in her heart
She felt as if there was a hole in her body that was bleeding. She wanted to cover the hole with her hand, but she could not find the exact location.
Nanxi was silent for a moment and shook his head, “Sorry, I don’t know.”
He had only just returned home when he discovered that she was in danger and had no time to investigate her previous affairs.
“Don’t mention it.” Xia Luobing shrugged and pretended to laugh indifferently. “I didn’t even ask you what you did? Why did you save me?”
Nan Xi’s heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Charlotte with caution, “Why did you suddenly ask this?”
“Can’t you say it? Forget it.” Xia Luobing smiled. It was as if she had just casually asked, but Nan Xi’s heart was tightly clenched.
It was a necessary quality for a policeman to observe what was said. The look in Charlotte’s eyes when she looked at him just now carried some profound inquiries. Although she was smiling, he knew that she was suspicious.
“Luo Bing, I won’t hurt you.” Nanxi said after a moment of silence.
Xia Luobing was stunned and quickly nodded, “I know.”
A person’s eyes were not deceptive. South Stream had secrets in her eyes, but there was also protection for her, even though she felt that this kind of protection was somewhat inexplicable.
The two of them seemed to have lost their conversation. The afternoon sun shone through the window and fell on the living room floor. There were plenty of lights and shadows, disturbing people’s line of sight.
Perhaps because he felt that getting along like this was too awkward, Nanxi finally couldn’t help but ask, “What are you going to do?”
Xia Luobing looked up and smiled, “I am the captain of the Criminal Police Unit. I must go back to work.”
Ever since she accepted her amnesia, she had used the shortest amount of time to understand her career, family, and feelings. Although her emotional management was a mess, fortunately, her career was still considered a success.
“Luo Bing, have you ever thought of changing your job?” Nanxi said hesitantly, “This job is too dangerous. If something happens to you again, have you ever thought about Duoduo? What about her?”
“Nanxi, I always thought we knew each other before.” Xia Luobing said slowly, “But now I think I’m mistaken.”
Nanxi was stunned for a moment before blurting out, “Why?”
“Because if we knew each other, if you knew me, you wouldn’t ask such a question.” Xia Luobing smiled and said, “Being a policeman has always been my dream.”
Nanxi was stunned for a moment and smiled bitterly, “Yes, we never knew each other before.”
At night, in South Stream’s study, Lin Chen frowned and said, “Did she really say that?”
Nanxi nodded and remained silent for a moment before saying, “Actually, her answer was within my expectations.”
“But what if one day she finds out what you’re doing?” Lin Chen sat on the chair opposite South Stream and tapped his knee uneasily. “She’ll catch you.”
