Chapter 128: Chapter 128: Demanding for Mom

Lin Xinlan looked into his eyes and found the color of his pupils to be incredibly dark, shiningly dark, frighteningly dark.

For some reason, she was bewitched by his gaze, her heartbeat uncontrolledly accelerated, and a suffocating aura spread around her.

Rong Shaoze’s eyes became deeper and deeper as he gently lowered his lashes and kissed her tenderly. With every touch of his lips and tongue, he traced her lips, each one fueling the flames of desire.

Lin Xinlan gently closed her eyes, not resisting his touch.

Her hand clutched the sheets, her breathing becoming rapid.

It wasn’t the first or second time she had been with Rong Shaoze, but this time, she felt something different.

Today, he was very gentle, so gentle it frightened her, leaving her at a loss.

She became muddled, unsure of where she was, her heart hanging in suspension, unable to find a place to land.

In her floating, sinking consciousness, she eventually fell into a weary sleep. In her dream, that sense of having nowhere to land, accompanied by a nameless panic, persisted, never dissipating for a long time...

After sleeping for a long time, she awoke to find that Rong Shaoze was no longer by her side.

After bathing, Lin Xinlan ate her meal downstairs, still hesitating whether to please him, whether to go home and see.

If she didn’t please him, she wouldn’t be able to go home.

If she couldn’t go home, she also wouldn’t know how her mother and son were faring...

Lin Xinlan was entangled with this dilemma until, two days later, she received a phone call from her mother.

Looking at the familiar number, her face turned pale, and her heartbeat nearly stopped.

If it wasn’t something urgent, her mother would definitely not call her on her own initiative.

She was afraid to answer, terrified of hearing bad news.

Her hands trembling, she almost burst into tears in that instant.

The phone rang for a while, and worried that the person on the other end might be getting impatient, she hurriedly answered, "Hello?"

"Xinlan? Is that you?"

It was her mother’s voice, sounding fine as if nothing had happened.

Lin Xinlan’s heart settled somewhat, "Mom, it’s me. What’s the matter? Are you not feeling well, or did something happen to Xiaocong...?"

"Oh, it’s nothing, don’t worry," her mother, knowing what she worried about the most, quickly comforted her.

"Xinlan, I didn’t want to bother you with a call. It’s just that Xiaocong has been in a bad mood these past two days, not wanting to eat, so I had no choice but to call you," she explained.

Lin Xinlan felt considerably relieved but still worried, "Mom, what’s wrong with him?"

Her mother sighed, "The other night, he was sleeping restlessly when he suddenly woke up and ran out, looking everywhere for you. Then, he tripped and scraped his knee. But don’t worry, it’s just a minor injury, nothing serious. He kept calling for his mom, cried a few times, and he couldn’t eat. It broke my heart, so I called you, hoping you could talk to him and comfort him."

After hearing her mother’s words, Lin Xinlan’s heart clenched tightly, the pain as sharp as being pricked by a needle.

Xiaocong was always understanding, knowing she works hard, and usually didn’t fuss for his mother. His sudden behavior must mean he missed her terribly.

How long had it been since she last went home?

A year, right? A full year, she hadn’t seen her child face to face.

Not only did the child miss her, but she also missed him dearly.

No wonder she had been so eager to go home these past days, it was a mother’s intuition, sensing Xiaocong’s sadness...

"Mom, hand the phone to Xiaocong, I want to talk to him."

"Alright, just a moment."
