After Breaking Up With the Scheming Bad Woman 108

Chapter 108: Happy Valentine’s Day, Huai Xing.

When the marketing department had edited the second vlog of Huai Xing’s perspective on the preparations for the big show and released it online, their boss had just arrived in Jingcheng.

This time, they had only brought one suitcase for their two-day return trip, which was pulled by Chu Wantang. But her other hand was not idle either, holding Huai Xing’s hand all the way, with no sign of letting go.

It was late August, and the summer heat was gradually dissipating. The nights in Jingcheng had a hint of coolness.

Tonight, the moon was high in the sky, draping a thin veil over the city.

A car was driving steadily on the wide road. Su Cheng was holding the steering wheel in the driver’s seat, and from time to time, she would look at the two adults and one child behind her through the rearview mirror—

Qiaoqiao missed Huai Xing and Chu Wantang very much and was sitting in the middle.

She was holding one on each side, calling out “Auntie Xingxing” and “Mommy Tangtang” one after another. Not only that, but she had also kissed both of their cheeks to express her longing.

Such a harmonious scene, Su Cheng still felt that it was not so real when she saw it with her own eyes.

In the past period of time, Wan Yi had sent her a message saying that Huai Xing and Chu Wantang had made up. She had always been skeptical and had wanted to see it with her own eyes. Tonight, when she saw her own friend appear at the airport with Huai Xing, the stone that had been hanging in her heart finally fell.

It would be best if lovers could be together for a long, long time.

“Are you going back on the flight the day after tomorrow afternoon?” Su Cheng confirmed. “This return trip is a bit rushed.”

It was Huai Xing who answered. “The big show is almost at its final stage. I can’t really get away during the week.”

Su Qiao looked up. “Are you two leaving the day after tomorrow, Auntie?”

“It’s okay,” Huai Xing said, squeezing Qiaoqiao’s hand. “On the 13th of next month, your mommy will take you to Haicheng to play. We’ll see each other again then.”

She counted on Qiaoqiao’s fingers. “Look, today is August 29th. There’s still one day, two days until the 13th of next month…”

The lights were on in the car. Chu Wantang looked at the neatly arranged streetlights and the flashing neon lights outside the car window.

Hearing Huai Xing count the numbers, her expression tensed for two seconds, and then she pretended to be fine and asked Su Cheng, “Chengcheng, is Qiaoqiao’s kindergarten starting soon?”

Su Qiao immediately: “I don’t want to go to school…”

Su Cheng: “That’s right!”

She laughed out loud as a parent. “Hahaha! Finally!”

Huai Xing held Su Qiao’s head and comforted her, unable to help but laugh. “Sister Su Cheng, you’re laughing too loudly. You’re disturbing our Qiaoqiao.”

The counting of the days was thus interrupted by Su Qiao’s sadness. Chu Wantang let out a sigh of relief and pretended not to be on purpose. “Most children in the world are like this when they hear about school.”

She then started another topic of conversation.

When they passed through the city, they could see a huge screen on a shopping mall that was advertising for the Qixi Festival.

Huai Xing retracted her gaze and continued to chat with Su Qiao.

Chu Wantang also followed and retracted her gaze. She blinked, not knowing where to look.

When Huai Xing looked over, she showed Huai Xing a dimple. “What’s wrong?”

Huai Xing bypassed Su Qiao and held her hand.

…

Su Cheng took them back to Chu Wantang’s home. Qiaoqiao didn’t want to be separated from them and hugged Chu Wantang’s leg, not letting go.

There was no way around it. Chu Wantang picked up her goddaughter. “You can just sleep here with me. I had an auntie clean it during the day. You can sleep in the master bedroom.” She pointed to Su Cheng’s bag. “Anyway, you have her things in your bag. Chengcheng.”

Su Cheng: “Alright.”

Su Qiao was overjoyed to know that she was going to stay here tonight. After she was put down, she ran around, and the braids she had tied were swaying.

Huai Xing had returned here after almost two months, and her mood was a little different from last time.

This time, she was much calmer.

The layout was still the same. Chu Wantang pulled their suitcase and opened the door to the guest room.

Last time, Huai Xing had not stayed here. Now, suddenly seeing Chu Wantang open the room she used to live in.

She took a breath before she had the courage to lift her foot and follow her in.

The guest room was no different from her memory and was very clean.

Chu Wantang had had an auntie open the screen window during the day, and the curtains were blown by the evening wind, as if they were welcoming the original owner’s return.

Su Qiao ran in with her small slippers and circled around them. “Yay! I’m not sleeping at home tonight!”

She even took Chu Wantang’s hand and looked up at her, asking, “Mommy Tangtang, can I sleep with you?”

Chu Wantang couldn’t help but laugh. “No,” she said, pointing to Su Qiao’s speechless mother. “Your mommy will be scared to sleep alone. You have to protect her, right?”

Hearing her coax the child like this, Huai Xing smiled cooperatively. “Our Qiaoqiao is a brave little girl. She will definitely protect her mommy.”

Su Cheng: “…”

Fine, the little couple had given her a coward persona. She could only cooperate. “Qiaoqiao, Mommy will be scared, wuwuwu.”

Before long, Su Qiao took her mother’s hand and left the guest room.

Only then did Huai Xing pull out the chair in front of the desk and sit down. She opened the table lamp, took a pen and a notebook, and wrote on it.

Chu Wantang opened the suitcase to get her pajamas. Hearing her movements, she turned her head and asked, “What are you writing?”

“Nothing,” Huai Xing said, pausing. “A secret.”

Chu Wantang: “Can I see it?”

“Not now,” Huai Xing said, folding the piece of paper, her face wreathed in smiles. “I’ll show it to you before you go to bed at night.”

“Okay,” Chu Wantang said, picking up her pajamas and change of underwear. “Go and take a shower now. It’s a little late.”

Huai Xing put the paper in the drawer and emphasized again, “You must not peek.”

“What kind of person am I in your eyes?” Chu Wantang said, leaning closer and pinching her cheek. “You don’t trust me that much?”

Huai Xing’s eyes curved into a smile. “I’m going to take a shower, Jiejie.”

She stood up from her chair, took her pajamas, and left the guest room.

Leaving Chu Wantang alone in a daze. Her question just now, Huai Xing had avoided answering.

She closed her eyes, took a few deep breaths, and then went to close the window completely. It was only late August, but the evening wind actually made her a little cold.

An hour later, the two of them were lying in bed.

They had been at work during the day and had been tossing and turning at night. At this moment, their energy was not as good as before, but Huai Xing still put on a finger cot. She looked at Chu Wantang’s flushed cheeks under the small night light and reminded her in a low voice, “The soundproofing is not very good, Chu Chu.” She curled her lips mischievously. “You have to be a little quieter.”

With that, she slipped under the covers.

Hands and mouth were used together.

Chu Wantang’s hand was on her head, her palm touching her soft hair, and her lips were pressed together tightly.

This time, she was also controlled by Huai Xing. Huai Xing would suddenly slow down when her breath was short, and would also speed up when the force of her hand on her head loosened.

Huai Xing knew all her reactions clearly—

Did that also include her thoughts?

As if to punish her for her distraction, Huai Xing turned her head to the side and bit her thigh. “What are you thinking about, Chu Chu?”

Without waiting for her answer, Huai Xing no longer teased her and quickly gave her what she wanted most.

Until she trembled and turned on her side, swallowing constantly.

Huai Xing took a wet wipe, wiped her calmly and skillfully, and also put on all her clothes again.

She squinted her eyes, and one hand pulled down Huai Xing’s wrist to feel her real pulse, and at the same time, she held Huai Xing tightly to feel her heartbeat.

Only then did she slowly close her eyes.

Huai Xing went to kiss her cheek, found her lips and kissed her, comforting her emotions.

After a while, the hug gradually loosened a little. Huai Xing took out the note from under her pillow and stuffed it into Chu Wantang’s palm. “It’s bedtime now. You can look at it.”

Chu Wantang didn’t dare to look, just as she didn’t dare to let Huai Xing set a ringtone.

She held the note, hid her thoughts, and said, “You just provoked me. I don’t want to look at it now. I’ll look at it after you’ve fallen asleep.”

“Okay,” Huai Xing said, curling up in her arms and closing her eyes. “I’m so sleepy. I’m going to sleep first. Good night, Jiejie.”

Chu Wantang: “Good night.”

She kissed Huai Xing’s forehead and then pressed her own forehead against it.

After confirming that Huai Xing’s breathing was even, she held the still-unopened note and said in a whisper.

“Happy Valentine’s Day, Huai Xing.”

There was still no answer, and the evening wind in Jingcheng was also blocked by the window.

The thunderstorm season here was already over, but a “boom” suddenly sounded in her world, trembling in her ear.

Her premonition was getting stronger and stronger.

The ninety-minute countdown seemed to have long been abolished, but a deeper countdown was hanging over her head, right?

The big show was the deadline, right? The mistake she had made was really unforgivable in Huai Xing’s eyes, right? Huai Xing, just like five years ago, was preparing to run away from her again, right?

Tears flowed down from the corners of her eyes. Chu Wantang carefully withdrew her arm and tiptoed to the living room and sat down on the sofa.

At this moment, even the scorching tears were silent, but the drops on the back of her hand were bone-chillingly cold.

She didn’t dare to make a rash move.

She was afraid that if she did anything, the countdown would speed up.

Before that, what should she do…

How could she win back her lover?

The feeling of powerlessness was like a rising tide, about to overflow the dam of reason. She bit her arm, and the pain drowned her in the darkness, not daring to make a sound.

The darkness engulfed her figure, and also engulfed her emotions. The air became very heavy, and she had long been unable to breathe.

She recalled the sweet memories of her and Huai Xing recently, and every fragment was like a sharp blade, cutting a bloody gash in her heart.

Her flesh and blood were a mess, and she could only lick her wounds alone, merging with the dark night.

After an unknown amount of time, she returned to bed and once again held Huai Xing in her arms.

Please, don’t fly away with the wind again.

Huai Xing.

Chu Wantang’s grandmother’s name was Ye Ying. Ever since the white-haired person had sent off the black-haired person, her health had been deteriorating.

The old lady was over eighty, and her hair was already snow-white, like a layer of unmelted frost. Her skin was loose and sagging, and her eyes were gentle and kind.

Now, after so many years, the situation was not very optimistic.

Huai Xing sat by the hospital bed. The old lady’s hand, which was covered with brown age spots, took hers and muttered about her family. “Qianlan was a good person, and Ah Zhuo was also a good person. Xiao Zhang, Xiao Lu, Xiao Zhao, were also all good people…”

The old lady was overcome with grief, and tears flowed from her cloudy eyes. “How come the Huai family has so many good people, and only you, Xiao Huai, are left…”

Huai Xing’s eyes also reddened. “Grandma Ye, I won’t forget them. Please listen to the doctor and don’t let them worry.”

Chu Wantang looked at this scene and couldn’t bear it anymore. She came outside the room. Her grandmother’s words were once again reminding her of what she had done to Huai Xing in the past.

There was really no family left, only Huai Xing.

The Chu family also lived in a manor, and the environment was very good.

Chu Yiming was sitting on a chair not far away, in a daze.

Chu Wantang walked over. As soon as she sat down, Chu Yiming looked at her and asked, “Your grandmother just wants to see you get married before she goes, Tangtang. She’s already given up on seeing you have children.”

“You can take some time to look at the talented young men that the group has cultivated. I have two that I have a good impression of…”

“Grandpa.”

Chu Wantang asked in a light voice, “You all knew very well that my mother and Auntie Huai were in love, right? But not only did you not help your own daughter, but you also became accomplices, and even the masterminds.” She twitched her lips. “It’s too ridiculous, Grandpa. You forced her and Auntie Huai to their deaths, and now you’re putting on a show here…?”
