Chapter 573: Chapter 573 Fearing She Would Propose a Breakup

Now she often neglected her child’s feelings and felt truly incompetent as a mother.

"Okay, mommy promises you."

Xiaocong smiled in relief at her words.

Rong Shaoze, who had been watching TV on the sofa, hadn’t glanced at her since she entered the room.

She sat down with Xiaocong, intending to talk to him, when he suddenly got up and hurried upstairs, completely disregarding her the entire time.

Lin Xinlan’s mouth opened slightly as she stared at his indifferent back, the words she wanted to say stuck in her throat, making her feel uncomfortable.

The little guy’s eyes twinkled, and he chuckled, "Mommy, daddy has been waiting with Xiaocong for you, for a long time."

A flicker of surprise passed through Lin Xinlan’s eyes.

If that was the case, why was he showing such cold indifference?

"Daddy is angry, how could mommy leave without saying a word? Don’t you want Xiaocong and daddy anymore?"

Xiaocong asked innocently, and Lin Xinlan realized, Rong Shaoze was angry about her leaving without notice.

This revelation made her feel much better.

After letting Xiaocong go play by himself, Lin Xinlan went upstairs, hoping to talk to Rong Shaoze.

If the two of them kept bottling everything up without speaking, their cold war would inevitably lead to problems.

She pushed open the door to the study, where Rong Shaoze was busy at the computer.

She took a few steps forward and tentatively said, "Do you have a moment? I would like to talk to you."

The man’s dark eyes glanced at her, his expressionless face replying, "I’m busy right now, we’ll talk later."

"...Okay."

Lin Xinlan left the study and went to the bedroom to wait for him.

It was ten o’clock, and Rong Shaoze still hadn’t come in, so she decided to take a bath first.

Maybe by the time she was out, he would have come in.

After her bath, two more hours passed, and he still hadn’t come in.

Lin Xinlan lay in bed but couldn’t resist the pull of sleep, eventually drifting off.

Not knowing how long she had slept, she felt someone covering her with a blanket.

She cracked open her eyes to see Rong Shaoze, and as she tried to sit up, he pressed her shoulders and whispered, "It’s late, go to sleep."

The bedside clock showed it was two in the morning.

Indeed, it was too late to discuss things; better to leave it until tomorrow.

She mumbled a response and fell back into a deep sleep.

Rong Shaoze sat on the edge of the bed watching her face in silence, motionless.

He felt very afraid, afraid she would suggest a breakup.

He knew Xinlan was a proud person and never demanded much; he was worried she had decided to give up on their relationship and didn’t want to continue.

He didn’t know how much Du Ruoxin’s affair had affected her, but from her recent silence and deliberate avoidance, it was clear she was bothered by the matter.

He thought giving her some time would help her calmly come to terms with their relationship and that incident.

But obviously, she seemed not to have gotten over it and was instead fixating on it.

Had she suddenly realized that compared to Du Ruoxin, she didn’t actually love him that much?

Did she feel guilty about Du Ruoxin and think that breaking up would be the best outcome?

He hadn’t thought of these possibilities initially.

But today, when she suddenly disappeared and her phone was unreachable, he started to panic and fear.

Afraid that she would leave for good.

Fortunately, Xiaocong was at home, making him aware that she wouldn’t abandon their child.

However, the time he spent waiting for her return was agonizing; he was genuinely worried she would never come back.
