Chapter 253 Fear
In the box, a set of couple's pajamas were neatly folded, two torn marriage certificates were glued back together, and there were also the wedding rings that grandpa took for the young couple, and the other one that Huo Tingshen later gave her.There are also two sets of baby clothes that she bought from shopping before and hid them in the cloakroom.
That set of pajamas was bought by Xu Zhiyang from the store when they first got married.She was very satisfied with the style and fabric, but Huo tingshen just didn't want to wear it.
Xu Zhiyang was thick-skinned at the time, and she didn't care whether he wanted it or not. Anyway, she wore the pajamas often and she couldn't bear to throw them away even though they were already worn out.
Nowadays, two pajamas, one new and one old, are tied together tightly, as if they are afraid of getting separated.
Countless slides of the past were displayed in front of his eyes, and Xu Zhiyang tried his best to endure it, as if a big stone was pressing on his chest.
Back at Green Lake Villa, it was breakfast time.
Xu Luofan ate quickly and was already tinkering with the robot he had assembled. Xu Luosheng was picking out a skirt upstairs and would go to kindergarten soon.
Seeing her return, the two children ran over from different places to hug her.
Xu Luofan: "Mommy, have you brought grandma back? Where is she?"
"Grandma is watching us from the stars, and she will always be with us."
Xu Luosheng clapped her little hands and shouted,
"Really, we have a grandma too!"
Xu Zhiyang took the two children into his arms,
"Tell mommy what you two have been doing recently. Did you get into any trouble?"
The two children looked at each other briefly for a few seconds, Xu Luosheng lowered his head, and Xu Luofan grinned and said,
"Mommy, no, my sister and I were very good in kindergarten. We look forward to your coming back every day."
Xu Zhiyang was mainly worried about Xu Luofan. This little devil had too many ideas and was extra courageous than ordinary people.She raised her eyes to look at Su Qin, her eyes asking her to verify the truth of Xu Luofan's words.
Su Qin was packing the two children's backpacks, stopped what she was doing and said,
"The two children are very well-behaved. Fan Bao has not gone out these few times except to go to kindergarten. He spends his free time at home tinkering with robots. Sheng Sheng went out once, to see a jewelry exhibition with Miss Xu You, and came back at noon."
Xu Zhiyang still believed Su Qin's words.
She nodded reassuringly. The time pointed to the time when the two children were leaving for kindergarten. The driver was already waiting outside the door.Su Qin was holding a small schoolbag in one hand.
"Let's go, Fan Baoshengbao. Find your mother after school."
The two children followed him out the door reluctantly.
Xu Zhiyang slept until noon, turned on his work phone, and saw 99+ new messages on WeChat.
I haven't been to the company for a few days and have accumulated a lot of work.She got up, put on makeup to cover the thick dark circles under her eyes, and drove to the company.
This month there is a jewelry design competition in the design world called the Cynthia Competition, hosted by Country D, which solicits and evaluates submissions from designers around the world.The judges are several authoritative and established designers from around the world.
This competition is held every three years. Xu Zhiyang once won a gold medal under the pseudonym Lolly. The awarding coincided with the day when she and Huo Tingshen got married, so she was not able to go now. It would be false to say that she has no regrets.
Now, she no longer has to hide from Huo Ting for fear that he would discover her existence, so she naturally doesn't have to hide her own light.She decided to participate once and get a prize. Such a valuable trophy would also be of great help to her current business.
Xu Zhiyang plans to use this competition as the first step to launch the new brand Karma.
She already had an idea of the works she planned to enter.
After not holding a paintbrush for a few days, Xu Zhiyang was suddenly overwhelmed with inspiration. In the quiet office, the only sound was the rustle of her pencil on paper.
After this painting, it was time to get off work before I knew it.
Jianyue knocked on the door and delivered a dinner,
"Sister Yan, it's time to eat, do you want to take a rest?"
Xu Zhiyang drew a prototype on paper, which still needs a lot of time to refine, but the inspirations he just thought of have already been drawn.
She stretched and felt a little dry in her mouth. She didn't even bother to drink a sip of water this afternoon.
"Jian Yue, please pour me a glass of water first."
Jianyue first pushed the hot milk she bought to the front and took away the water glass on the table.
"You quench your thirst first, and I'll pour you some water."
Xu Zhiyang stretched his waist and smelled the aroma of rice. Jianyue bought her the beef rice from the store across the street, which she often eats.
Feeling really hungry, she took out the chopsticks from the drawer and Jianyue came back with water.
"Sister Yan, Mr. Lu and Mr. Huo haven't come here in the past few days."
Jianyue looked a little disappointed, as if she was expecting these two men to send flowers.
Xu Zhiyang paused with her chopsticks and glanced around the ground unconsciously. Thinking of the scene where the house was full of flowers a few days ago, she couldn't help but feel a bit of ridicule in her heart. She knew that Huo Tingshen couldn't do such a crooked thing as giving flowers. Three days was his limit.
Sure enough, he is still the aloof CEO who only waits for women to stick to him.
Xu Zhiyang ignored Jian Yue and continued eating with chopsticks.
Outside the door, the number of people in the office area gradually decreased, and everyone clocked in and clocked out one after another.
Xu Zhiyang wanted to paint for a while longer. Now that her thoughts were clear, she drove away Jian Yue and worked until the night was completely enveloped. After receiving a call from Xu Luosheng urging her to go home, she packed up the drawings, locked the door and went downstairs.
Her car was parked in the parking lot downstairs. The lights in the parking lot were broken for some reason today, or maybe it was because it was a little late. The parking lot that was usually full of vehicles was a little empty today, and she could even hear the echo of footsteps.
It had rained a little during the day, and now the atmosphere seemed gloomy and scary.
Xu Zhiyang looked up and saw that the last light in the building was out, and she felt vaguely terrible.
She turned on the light on her mobile phone and saw her car not far ahead. She walked a few steps quickly and pressed the unlock button when she was almost in front of the car. When she saw the car lights on, the fear in her heart subsided a bit.
Xu Zhiyang opened the car door and was about to get in when his ankle was grabbed tightly by something.
Her heart suddenly tightened, and she was too frightened to say anything easily.Her first reaction was that there was a ghost. She didn't see anyone when she ran all the way here.
A temperature that was not his own came from his ankle, and Xu Zhiyang was so frightened that the hair on his body stood on his head.
She breathed and bravely raised her foot. She obviously felt that the force on her ankle was stronger, pinching her painfully.
She was so frightened that her breathing was unsteady, and her instinct to survive when faced with danger made her lift her other foot to kick something on the bottom of her foot.
She didn't dare to lower her head to look, but used her uncontrolled foot to push hard towards that position, trying to get rid of the shackles.
