60 Disappointed (1/2)

when liu zijian entered the study, he immediately called his father.

”dad, let's just be thankful that big zi's safe.”

”i see.” mr. liu understood that his son didn't want to continue looking for the person who helped han meixiu and liu zilong.

when the call ended, he slumped on his chair. he would be lying if he's not affected with what han meixiu did. it seemed that her level of trust to him wasn't as high as he expected it to be.

although he has ways on how to confirm his doubts that the man was han yun xiang, he's not planning on using it to her. he would wait until the time she could openly tell him everything.

her answer was pretty much a give away anyway so his conclusion was somewhat 95% correct.

she went to bed earlier than liu zijian last night. after their short conversation when she interrupted him, they didn't talk much. she felt guilty about it thus she planned to wait for him in their room to apologize but she fell asleep sooner than she expected.

when she woke up, she was still alone in the room. she thought liu zijian didn't sleep but on his side of the bed, there's a sign that someone lied down. as she was about to went out of the room, she heard the main door opened.

she thought liu zijian was leaving without informing her thus she hurriedly went out and called him.

”zijian!”

her voice was quite loud since it was early in the morning.

she then saw that liu zijian just came back from outside.

he questioningly looked at her as if asking why did she called him in panic.

”something wrong?” he just came back from the hospital to get her things. he didn't wake her up since she was sleeping so peacefully and he couldn't afford to disturb her.

”i...thought you're leaving and you didn't inform me...” she answered and lowered her head.

”i just got your things from the hospital. they were returned yesterday.” he calmly explained. he didn't notice how his mood improved after he heard his wife's answer.

she was worried of him leaving her? why would he do that?

he then gave her the box he was carrying.

”oh, thank you.” she said as she accepted it and placed it on the table without opening.

”i'll prepare breakfast.” she immediately said to compensate what she did last night. she remembered he liked buns thus she rummaged their stocks in the kitchen. the first thing she checked was the expiration date, when she confirmed they're still good she looked at liu zijian.

”please wait a while. i'll get them done in a short while. you can go to your study first then i'll call you when it's time.” she said and busied herself.

he simply nodded and followed her suggestion. he was actually looking forward to the breakfast she would prepare.

after almost an hour she called him.
