Chapter 873 - Chapter 873: Anhao Is Pregnant (3) (2/2)
“Why should I? It’s not like you don’t know how to tie it yourself.”
“Mrs. Zuo, don’t you know that this is the first time you’ve helped your husband put on his clothes after being married for so long? Of course, there’s no need to wear clothes. It’s not a bad choice to leave the task of wearing a tie to you.”
Memories flooded her mind. Anhao picked up the tie and held it in her hand. It was as if Zuo Hancheng’s hand was holding her hand out of thin air, teaching her how to tie the tie. It was as if she was being controlled by a pair of hands until a beautiful tie was tied, just like the one in the president’s office.
As D drove, he saw Anhao sitting in the back seat, hugging a tie and smiling through the rearview mirror. He didn’t know what she was smiling about, but the tie in her hand was Mr. Zuo’s.
D shifted his gaze away from the rearview mirror and continued driving toward a hotel near a New York airport.
Anhao did not plan to stay in New York any longer, so she stayed at a hotel near the airport for a night. She was prepared to fly back to China the next day, to A City, to her home, to the place where she and Zuo Hancheng truly belonged.
That night in the hotel, Anhao was alone in her room packing her luggage. Her luggage bag was not very big, but she still put Zuo Hancheng’s clothes in it first, and then her own things.
When she was done packing, she picked up the laptop left behind by Zuo Hancheng and thought about the night when the two of them were in bed at the An family home. They spent the whole night looking at wedding dresses together.
The computer had run out of battery. After connecting to the power source, she turned on the computer and the screen gradually lit up. She vaguely remembered that Zuo Hancheng had entered the web page that night and typed in a few letters from that website. Anhao raised her hand and typed those letters until a familiar web page jumped in front of her.
The two of them went through the sample photos of the wedding photos one by one. At that time, Anhao was curled up in Zuo Hancheng’s arms and pointed at the photos. Zuo Hancheng had his arms around her the whole time and his chin was pressed against the top of her head. His pleasant voice was lazy and he would occasionally respond to her as if he was agreeing with her.
“I’ll return you your wedding and wedding photos. It’s time to fulfill them.”
Anhao’s eyes suddenly blurred with tears, and the photos on the computer screen seemed to be immersed in a vast ocean in front of her.
They didn’t even take wedding photos, so how could they talk about a wedding?
She did not even have a wedding ring on her finger. She was so empty that she felt as if Zuo Hancheng had never appeared in her world. He was just a fantasy of hers. She had only dreamed of an illusion in the past few years. Even the clothes that had been dry-cleaned did not have the smell of Zuo Hancheng at all.
It was as if she was never married, and there was only a person who had never existed by her side.
It was just like those in TV dramas. A dream lover, a dream lover, after setting off countless waves in her world, this lover would appear at a specific time and leave at a specific time. From then on, he would never exist again.
It was a terrifying feeling.
Anhao put down her laptop. She didn’t know if it was because the air conditioner in the room was too cold, but she felt very, very cold.
She felt cold when she stood in front of the window and looked at the planes that took off from the airport not far away. She felt cold when she took a shower. There were no traces left on her body now. That person once said that the hickeys on her body were evidence that she loved him, but these evidence were all gone.
She felt cold as she lay on the bed. She covered herself with all the blankets in the room, but it was still very, very cold.
The spot beside the bed was empty, and so was her soul.
