Chapter 1125

Jiao Ziqing tightened her grip on his clothing as she said, “I hope so…”

Ou Huojin patted the back of her hand and comforted her . “It’ll be fine . Don’t worry . I’ll bring her over . ”

They’d all seen how much Ou Ming cared about that girl . Perhaps he’d really be able to rally himself and recover once he saw her . Regardless of the outcome, they had to at least give it a try . Plus, what if it really worked?

Jiao Ziqing nodded her head . “Drive carefully . ”

“Alright . ” Ou Huojin took her hand off him and strode away .

He had only taken a few steps when he heard Jiao Ziqing say, “Hold on!”

Ou Huojin turn around to look . He saw dilemma written all over her face . After a moment of hesitation, she asked, “Shall I go with you?”

“Stay here and take good care of our son,” Ou Huojin said . “Given the way you treated that child before, what if she won’t come because of that?”

Looking at her husband’s reassuring gaze, Jiao Ziqing didn’t insist any further . She nodded her head and watched as Ou Huojin continued off into the distance .

Ou Ming had heard his parents mention Wen Fenglin’s name many times before, but he had never heard his parents speak of Wen Fenglin’s story . Never in a million years would he have expected that Wen Fenglin would have such a background story .

The room became unbearably quiet after his parents stepped out .

After a long while, a voice finally rang out in the room, “Thank you . ” The voice was soft and low but full of sincerity .

Wen Fenglin looked at Ou Ming and said, “I just don’t want you to end up as I did then . Your parents are my friends, but they are doing the exact same thing that I hated all those years ago . ”

From the other side of the door, Jiao Ziqing overheard what Wen Fenglin said . Feeling a little rueful, she stayed outside and didn’t enter .

…

Yu Lili had the video call with Old Mrs . Shen early in the morning . It lasted until her phone beeped that the battery was low . Even when she explained the situation, Old Mrs . Shen still refused to hang up .

Yu Lili continued talking for a short while, but she didn’t recharge her phone . She allowed the battery to go flat . Afterward, she went to her room and started drawing comics .

A whole afternoon went by that way . With her pencil sketching and shading, it was past noon by the time she was done with one frame .

She hadn’t eaten anything since she woke up, so her stomach was growling . But, she wasn’t really in the mood to eat . The conversation she had with Wen Fenglin and Ou Ming the day before kept replaying in her mind .

The only question now was when were they going to start?

Ding! Dong!

The doorbell rang . Yu Lili stood up forcefully out of reflex and neatened her clothing as she went to the door . When she looked through the peephole, she saw a girl who looked approximately 17 or 18 standing there .

Yu Lili spoke through the intercom and asked, “Who’s there?”

“Hello, Miss Yu . Could you open the door please? There’s a gentleman who’s looking for you,” the girl said .

“Gentleman? Who?” It seemed weird to Yu Lili . “Why won’t he call for me directly? Who is he?”

“He said his family name is Ou,” the girl replied .

His family name is Ou?

Ou Ming? But how was that possible?

“Where is he?” Yu Lili asked .

“Over here,” a regal voice rang out as a man’s figure appeared within view of the peephole . He looked a little helpless as he said, “I am Ou Ming’s father . I would like to speak with you . Would that be possible?”
