Play coquettish with Joe

Chapter 9186 The plane landed in New York (2)

Zheng Bao let him rub his little face while whining and complaining: "Be gentle."

Qiao Chengfan got him another hat and put it on, and also helped Zheng Bao put gifts in his small schoolbag.

Zhengbao shook his calves and watched his father work: "Daddy, Zhengbao will see mommy soon. I'm so happy."

"Ah."

"Daddy, why do you look a little nervous?"

"Children, stop talking!"

"It's wrong! These are Zheng Bao's socks, they can't be put in the schoolbag."

"Who asked you to take out your socks?!"

"Ugh, I took it out accidentally. You are so cruel."

"..."

Zheng Bao was lying by the window, his big eyes blinking at the familiar scenery outside the window. He was back again!

He thought that this bad daddy really wouldn't let him see Mommy, and thought he was lying to him yesterday. Unexpectedly, daddy was very trustworthy and brought him here.

Zheng Bao happily ate the lollipop in his hand and looked happily at the cars passing by.

Qiao Chengfan packed up his things and then leaned on the back seat with his eyes closed to relax, his cold and distant face showing a bit of warmth that was different from the past.

The sound of traffic whizzing by could be heard in his ears, accompanied by Zheng Bao's babbling voice, which was like waves lapping against his chest, reverberating deeply.

Yesterday, he didn't sleep all night.

He thought of many things, but from the moment he agreed to Zheng Bao, he never hesitated.

When he dreams back in the middle of the night, her gentle and beautiful face always appears in front of his eyes. Whether in Xuanzhou or abroad, she always looks like this, gentle and firm, and her bright eyes show the determination of her state of mind.

His mother didn't want him to repeat the detours she and his father took, and he himself didn't want to take those bumpy roads.

At this moment, Qiao Chengfan felt a chill on his neck.

He opened his eyes, and it turned out to be Zheng Bao's hand rubbing his neck.

Zheng Bao raised a bottle of Coke: "Daddy, Zheng Bao wants to drink Coke!"

"Drink when you get home."

Zheng Bao immediately shook his head, shaking his little head like a rattle: "If Mom sees it, I will beat him!"

"Do you believe I told her?"

"I don't believe it." Zheng Bao smiled, "If Zheng Bao gets beaten, I won't call you daddy."

"Where did you learn to threaten people?"

"Learned it from daddy." Zheng Bao deliberately imitated his behavior and spoke like him, "If you don't obey me again, you won't even think about going out!"

Qiao Chengfan: "..."

headache.

The car drove into Boston and stopped in a residential parking lot.

Familiar parking lot, familiar environment, as if I haven't left for a long time.

Xiao seemed to be away from home, but the door lock code was not changed, so Qiao Chengfan easily opened the door to her home.

To his surprise, the house was empty, with only some simple daily necessities. It looked like it had not been inhabited for a long time, and there was even a layer of dust on the table.

"Potato!" Zheng Bao looked for potatoes everywhere, "Potato!"

However, the potatoes were also missing.

Zhengbao's children's room is locked and cannot be entered without a key.

Zheng Bao pushed the door but did not open it.

Qiao Chengfan then pushed open the room that looked like a bedroom. The same was true in the room. There were no objects left, as if no one lived in it.

He immediately put down his luggage and told Zheng Bao: "Wait for dad at home. Dad will come back as soon as he goes."

Zheng Bao felt a little uncomfortable looking at the little home that was different from the past: "Dad, where did mom go? Why can't Zheng Bao's room be opened?" "Dad will go find her soon."

"Can I take Zheng Bao with me?"

"You wait at home. If mom comes back, call dad."

Zheng Bao nodded.

Qiao Chengfan left the driver with Zheng Bao and drove to the university alone to find Xiao SiSi.

Qiao Zhixing said that she is on campus every day, so why not go back to the apartment?

Qiao Chengfan frowned, the car sped up, and the fingers holding the steering wheel trembled slightly.

In an instant, he felt the abnormality of his heartbeat.

At first, he desperately took away Zheng Bao and brought Zheng Bao back to the country, leaving a heartbroken and crying Xiang Xisi in the hospital, and left without looking back.

He knew clearly that Zheng Bao was her life and her weakness, yet he did such a bastard thing.

After returning home, her cries were always ringing in his ears. There was no trace of blood on her haggard and pale face, so desperate.

He self-righteously believed that she was betraying him and hurting him, but he never knew that the person who hurt her the most had always been him.

He had done something outrageous to her five years ago, so what qualifications did he have to ask for her forgiveness?

He still owed her an apology for what happened five years ago, and how could an apology make up for the hurt she had suffered.

He has remembered what happened five years ago and will never forget it again.

He knew that maybe even his whole life would not be able to make up for this damage.

Even if she is unwilling to forgive him, he will admit it.

As the car passed a red light, Qiao Chengfan closed his eyes slightly, with heavy thoughts in his eyes.

He thought again of that thunderstorm night when he held Zheng Bao and left resolutely, leaving a trace of pain and despair. At that time, she had been suffering for many days because of a "prank" played by Qiao Zhixing.

Both he and Qiao Zhixing sprinkled a pinch of salt on her wounds.

He couldn't imagine how she came here during this time, and he thought of the empty apartment he just saw.

She never came back, she was always in school.

In summer, the school is full of greenery, and students walking can be seen everywhere.

Qiao Chengfan stopped the car and went to the laboratory building alone to look for Xiao Sisi under the scorching sun.

Qiao Chengfan asked passing students about the whereabouts of Xiongsi.

An informed student said: "I saw Kathleen in the morning. She seemed to have gone to Professor Crutcher's office, and then I didn't know."

"Thank you."

Qiao Chengfan rushed to Professor Crutcher's office again.

He had been to Harvard many times, but never once had he been so panicked and confused as he was now.

Qiao Chengfan knocked on the office door, and there was an immediate response: "Come in."

Cruci thought it was his student, but he didn't expect the visitor to be a man who looked very much like his protégé Qiao Zhixing, only older than Qiao Zhixing.

Cruci knew that Qiao Zhixing had an older brother. He had almost no doubts and subconsciously confirmed that the person in front of him was Qiao Zhixing's older brother.

Qiao Chengfan briefly explained his purpose, and Cruciful looked at his eager expression and sighed.

"Mr. Qiao, I want to help you, but I have the right to keep my students' personal privacy confidential."

"But she is very important to me."

"Then who are you to her?"

For a moment, Qiao Chengfan was speechless.

After a long time, he said: "She is my wife, and we have a common son."

Perhaps because of his relationship with Qiao Zhixing, Professor Cruci was silent for a long time and then said to him: "Kathleen just came to my office this morning. She was in a very bad condition. I was on a business trip some time ago and couldn't take care of her. She didn't know what happened to her."
