i loved you so much

Chapter 26 There is no shortcut to happiness (2)
As soon as the car came to a stop, An Xiaoduo took off her seat belt, sprinted out of the car, lay down on the side of the road, and vomited violently. Her stomach was actually empty, and all she vomited was water.

Li Xiaoan's expression changed slightly, he got out of the car and walked over quickly, trying to help her, but she stopped her with a look: "Don't come here, dirty."

Seeing him approaching step by step, An Xiaoduo had to move aside.Her stomach was still churning, her hands and feet were weak, tears came out, she was so embarrassed under his silent gaze.

Li Xiaoan returned to the car, got out with a bottle of mineral water and a pack of tissues, unscrewed the bottle cap, and handed it to her: "Rinse your mouth."

She did as she was told, then wiped the stain with a paper towel.

Li Xiaoan saw that her face was translucently white and faintly bluish, so he quickly took off his overcoat and put it on her body indiscriminately, touching her shoulder inadvertently, he found her shivering from the cold.

"Get in the car." He ordered her.

"No..." She shook her head in resistance, "I want to breathe."

He frowned slightly, staring at her.

An Xiaoduo looked up at him, then lowered her head again.

Li Xiaoan's mind was pounding, his wet black eyes were full of grievance and helplessness, he suddenly lost his mind, he opened his arms and held her in his arms.

An Xiaoduo's chin rested on his shoulder, her eyes widened suddenly, and a trace of disbelief flashed in her eyes, but soon the embrace let her go.The warmth was fleeting, and she forced herself not to look at him.

Li Xiaoan stared at her sullenly: "You don't want me to give you rich clothes and fine food, and you don't care if I give you my heart. An Xiaoduo, An Zhengran has only been with you for seven years. Life has nothing to do with him, even so, do you have to sacrifice me for him?"

An Xiaoduo was silent, only feeling cold, her whole body was about to freeze.

Li Xiaoan stared at her for a long time, the last bit of anger on his face was finally replaced by disappointment, he turned around and said, "I was being sentimental again, you ran away desperately that night, I should know, you only have An in your heart." Zhengran. Let’s go, I’ll take you back.”

An Xiaoduo bowed her head and followed behind him, walking in a daze. When he stopped to open the door, she almost bumped her head into his back.She stared at his back, and said with difficulty: "If I say, you are the most important in my heart, would you believe it?"

Li Xiaoan's back froze suddenly, but he stubbornly did not turn his head back, his tone was cold: "I used to believe it, but now...don't be kidding."

Back in the urban area, An Xiaoduo got off the car at the school gate, and he drove away with a cold face.

An Xiaoduo stood there for a while, and suddenly realized that his coat was still on her.She took off her coat and hung it on her arm. Something fell out of her pocket. She picked it up and saw it was a boarding pass.

It turned out that he was going back to Wucheng today.

She waited all afternoon but he didn't come, nor did she get a call, so she had to call him, and it took him a long time to answer, with a hoarse voice.

"You left your clothes with me. I'll take them to the school's security room to store them. Come and pick them up when you're free."

Li Xiaoan sneered: "Is that why you don't want to see me?"

An Xiaoduo didn't want to say more, and was about to take up the cable, when she suddenly heard an unfamiliar male voice say, "Mr. Li, do you want to take you to the hospital?"

That voice definitely did not belong to Wu Lixuan, she heard it very clearly, she couldn't help but tremble in her heart, and asked him: "Who is by your side? What's wrong with you?"

"none of your business."

After all, he hung up the line.When she called again, he had already turned off the phone.

An Xiaoduo put the clothes into a big plastic bag and hurried to the hotel.When she got to the lobby, she realized that she didn't know his room number at all, so she went to the counter to ask. The lady at the counter checked the register and asked her, "Who are you, Mr. Li?"

She had an idea and said: "He is my boyfriend, today is his birthday, I want to give him a surprise, he didn't know that I would come." She said while shaking the bag in her hand, "Birthday gift."

The lady at the counter smiled and told her the room number with a suddenly realized expression.

An Xiaoduo thanked her, and soon reached the door of the room. A young man in a white shirt opened the door.

"Hello, who are you looking for?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, An Xiaoduo recognized the voice as the one he heard on the phone just now.She couldn't wait to walk in, and said as she walked, "Where is Li Xiaoan? Where is he?"

"Mr. Li is not here, I am his assistant, please tell me if you have anything to do, I will pass it on to you, miss..." The man did not expect that she would rush in suddenly, and hurriedly caught up with her, blocking her with his body way to go.

"Where did he go?" An Xiaoduo stopped to look around the suite, and ran into the master bedroom while he was not paying attention.

"I'm not very clear about this." The man had no choice but to follow in.

An Xiaoduo saw traces of blood on the floor at a glance, intermittently extending all the way from the bathroom.Her heart was shaking badly, and she ran in to have a look.

The bathroom was in a mess, and the mirror on the washstand had many cracks spreading out from the middle. The glass shards on the table were mixed with large bloodstains, and the viscous red liquid was shocking.

An Xiaoduo's face turned pale: "This... is this his blood?"

Seeing her acting abnormally, the man vaguely guessed her identity, so he said, "Mr. Li accidentally hurt his hand."

The mirror was clearly smashed with a fist, and the torn mirror surface showed how unreserved the puncher's strength was.How could this be an accidental injury!An Xiaoduo was deeply stimulated, her senses of sight and smell were all in, her eyes were blood red, her ears kept ringing, the man next to her seemed to be saying something, but she couldn't hear a word, like meaningless white noise.

Seeing her crumbling, the man stretched out his hand to help her worriedly. Suddenly, her expression changed, and she pushed him away and rushed to the toilet to vomit violently.She managed to slow down, stood up staggeringly, picked up the bag that fell on the ground, took out her mobile phone and called him, but it was still turned off.

"Miss, are you okay?" the man asked her again.

"where is he?"

The man looked at the time and said, "Mr. Li has something to go out."

"Where did he go?"

"Feel sorry."

"Is his hand badly hurt?"

The man hesitated and said, "The wound is quite deep."

Seeing the faint tears in the other party's eyes, he was slightly taken aback, and said out of nowhere: "The flight at seven o'clock in the evening, you still have time to catch up."

An Xiaoduo looked up at him, then stumbled out of the room.

In the end, she failed to catch up with him, and encountered a huge traffic jam on the road, and it was already past seven o'clock when she arrived at the airport. On the chair in the hall, hugging his coat, staring at the LED screen showing the flight time, feeling exhausted.

Unable to love and unable to let go, both she and him are stuck in a dead end.

A rush of ringtones interrupted her thoughts. She glanced at the number on the display, feeling a bad premonition in her heart, and pressed the answer button. Aunt Sun's rough voice hit her eardrums and fragile ears mercilessly. heart--

"Xiaoduo, come back quickly, your father has fainted!"

At a quarter past nine in the evening, Li Xiaoan got off the plane.

Wu Lixuan was already waiting for him at the airport, and as soon as he saw him, he went up and said, "All arrangements have been made at the hospital. I will send Menghui there tomorrow. She has been with Zheng Sanmu for the past few years, but they are not married. Zheng Sanmu has nothing to do in Taiwan." Serious work is all about finding sideways, and Menghui has suffered a lot with him."

Li Xiaoan didn't react after hearing this, he just took off the clothes on his arms and threw them into the back seat of the car, only then did Wu Lixuan notice that his right hand was wrapped in white gauze.

"what happened?"

"Hit to the glass."

"Why are you so careless? You didn't cut the Tesuji, did you? This wrapping is too simple. Go to Guangsheng to wrap it again."

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Wu Lixuan changed his route and went to Li Guangsheng's hospital.

Li Xiaoan turned on his cell phone, and several text messages came in immediately, he opened them one by one.At this moment, the phone vibrated suddenly, a call came in, and the word An Xiaoduo was displayed on the screen.

He didn't pick up until the last sound, and before he could speak, he heard a series of questions from the other party: "Have you got off the plane? Is the injury on your hand okay? You must pick out the glass shards..."

"How did you know?"

"I went to the hotel to look for you, and saw broken glass all over the floor." She paused, her tone hesitant, "...Don't do this in the future."

Li Xiaoan sneered: "Do you think it's for you?"

"Even if it's not for me, don't do this kind of self-harm. Life is precious."

"I don't need the daughter of a murderer to teach me the value of life."

As soon as the words came out, there was no sound from the other end of the line. He choked the line and turned his gaze out of the window.

Wu Lixuan had already guessed that it was An Xiaoduo's call from what he said earlier, and wanted to say a few words, but when he turned his head and saw him frowning in thought, he could only swallow the words that reached his throat.

After a while, Li Xiaoan picked up his phone and dialed a number.

While driving quietly, Wu Lixuan listened to him instructing the person on the phone to do things in a cold voice: "Re-check An Zhengran's details and find out who he has been in contact with in the past 20 years, especially women." His voice After a short pause, he added, "Look up the reason for An Zhengran's divorce back then, there may be clues."

After hanging up the line, Li Xiaoan turned his head and looked out the window. The night was vast, and the passing scene seemed to turn into a blurry beast rushing towards his face. A faint hope surged in his heart——

Wu Lixuan asked tentatively: "Why do you suddenly think of checking him?"

"Someone told me that the real culprit who kidnapped Yuan Yuan was someone else."

Wu Lixuan was stunned: "Who said that? How is it possible? An Zhengran himself admitted it at the beginning!"

"What if he is willing to help others take the blame?"

Wu Lixuan was stunned for a moment.

Li Xiaoan called up a text message from his phone and handed it to him.

The content of the text message is very short, only one sentence - there is someone else who kidnapped your son.

"Who sent it? Have you checked it?"

"I called a few times, but the phone was turned off. It should be an unregistered number. The person who sent the text message didn't want me to know who he was."

An Xiaoduo returned to the ward and gently placed the thermos bucket on the table.

An Zhengran hasn't woken up yet. This recurrence of his illness is quite dangerous. A few days ago, the hospital issued a critical illness notice, and An Xiaoduo secretly cried a few times. Fortunately, he survived in the end. Drowsy, rarely awake.

The doctor suggested that she spend money to hire a male nurse. After all, it is inconvenient for her to take care of patients alone, and she has to go to school during the day. The training school is private, which is no different from a public school. If you take a day off, you will deduct a day's salary. The one-month perfect attendance award is going to be forfeited, and her probationary period is coming soon, so she doesn't want to fall into the trap of others at this juncture.

She sat on the chair next to the bed for a while, and suddenly remembered something, and took out a Nokia mobile phone from her bag. This is a very old model. A while ago, the communication company held an event and gave it as a gift with [-] yuan of phone credit. An Zhengran I usually only use it to answer my daughter's phone calls, and occasionally call her to ask her if she is going to get off work, or to ask her to wear more clothes when the weather is cold.An Xiaoduo found it under the sofa, probably dropped it when An Zhengran fell ill that day, she didn't pay attention at first, she just picked it up and put it aside until a text message came in.

She thought it was an advertisement or something, so she picked it up and pressed it to delete it. She glanced at the two short lines inadvertently, but was stunned.

"I have returned to Wucheng, everything is fine, don't read, you have to take care of yourself."

She carefully looked at the long series of numbers, An Zhengran didn't save it in the phone book, maybe he didn't want to save it, or maybe he didn't know how to save it.She didn't have time to delve into which possibility it was, and was all she could think about who the owner of this number was.Wucheng?Dad still has old acquaintances in Wucheng?
Before he was imprisoned, An Zhengran stayed in Wucheng for a while, and it was not surprising that he knew a few people, but since his accident, those people have not communicated with him for a long time, not to mention the meaning revealed by this text message It couldn't be more obvious - this person has just returned to Wucheng, which means that this person has been outside for a while.She thought to herself: Could it be that the person who sent the text message was the woman that Aunt Sun saw with her father a few days ago?

An Xiaoduo held the phone tightly in her hand, and she didn't press the main control button until the body was hot.

The screen turned on and glowed with a cool blue light. She lowered her head and edited the content of the reply: "It's not convenient to make phone calls in the hospital. Take care of yourself."

Sure enough, less than 5 minutes after this text message was sent, a new text message came in, and she couldn't wait to press to check——

"What happened? Last time I saw you, didn't you say that you were fine?"

An Xiaoduo thought for a while, and replied: "Small problem, it doesn't get in the way."

After waiting for 10 minutes, she was on fire every minute and every second. The phone beeped like a sound of nature, and she hurriedly checked the content.

"Zhengran, I know you don't want me to worry, but if you do this, I will feel even more uneasy. If you need me in any way, you must speak up. It's for my own good and makes my conscience feel better."

An Xiaoduo looked up at her sleepy father, with a trace of struggle on her face. There must be a reason for her father's insistence on concealing it. Is it right for her to do so?
She slowly put the phone on the bedside table, but she couldn't help but linger on it. She thought of many reasons to stop herself, but there was a small flame in her heart that jumped unrelentingly.

It was two weeks after An Xiaoduo received the news of Chu Kui's marriage, Chu Kui called to tell her that she had received the marriage certificate.

"You're finally married," An Xiaoduo said with emotion in her voice, "Why are you willing to marry all of a sudden?"

"I figured it out, we can't separate each other, we'll get married first, lest his sister keep saying that I'm dragging Yu Zhangwen. Besides, didn't you persuade me, I'm marrying Yu Zhangwen, not his sister, as long as Yu Zhangwen is right As long as I'm fine, his sister will never follow him forever."

An Xiaoduo laughed: "It's good if you can figure it out, no matter what, congratulations, when will the wedding be held?"

"I haven't decided yet. Let's see after the new year. Maybe I will travel and get married at that time." Chu Kui couldn't help laughing when he said this, "Yu Zhangwen hit me and said that if I asked you to be a bridesmaid, my You will steal the limelight."

An Xiaoduo laughed: "Me? The bride is the most beautiful, who can beat you?"

She hesitated for a while, and decided not to tell Chu Kui about her pregnancy for the time being, so as not to cause complications.After talking on the phone with Chu Kui, she packed up her things and went to the hospital to see her father.

An Zhengran was eating with the assistance of the nurse. She glanced at the door, but didn't go in. She went to the doctor's office first.Dr. Xu, who was in charge of treating her father, hadn't left yet. As soon as she entered, Dr. Xu knew why she was here, picked up An Zhengran's medical records from the desk case, and took the initiative to explain the patient's condition.

After listening quietly, An Xiaoduo said, "Thank you doctor, please take care of my father's illness."

Dr. Xu nodded. He had a very good impression of this young girl. He said that there was no dutiful son before the bed for a long time, but seeing her busy taking care of her seriously ill father, he didn't complain at all. As long as she is in the ward, wipe She does all the work herself, and never leaves the hands of others.He once overheard the nurse educating her, saying that since she had hired a nurse for money, she would leave the dirty work to the nurse, so there was no need to do it herself.She smiled, didn't say anything, and continued to do her own thing, obviously not listening to what the nurse said.

Dr. Xu saw more of the warmth and warmth of people, and felt that this girl was even more precious.

When An Xiaoduo returned to the ward, the nurse was feeding An Zhengran soup, she took it and fed it to her father herself.

An Zhengran looked at her face, and said worriedly: "Don't come here at night, go back and sleep well, look at your complexion."

An Xiaoduo blew on the soup in the spoon: "It's okay, I've always been like this, I was in a hurry in the morning, and I didn't have time to put on makeup."

An Zhengran sighed, "Father's body is really unbearable, and it's causing you trouble again."

"Why is this troublesome? Dad, I was sick when I was a child, and I was noisy and noisy. Do you think I'm troublesome?"

"What's the difference?"

"Why is it different? You took care of me when I was young, and it's my turn to take care of you when you get old. It's only natural."

"Duoduo, did you ever blame us when your father and mother divorced?"

An Xiaoduo looked at the soup in the bowl and shook her head.

An Zhengran raised his hand slightly, An Xiaoduo understood, and quickly put down the soup bowl and held his father's hand.Her father's hands were very cold and had no warmth. She lowered her head and kept breathing, hoping to warm them up.

She didn't notice that the moment she lowered her head, An Zhengran's eyes on her became very complicated, mixed with distress, guilt, nostalgia and reluctance.

He really owes this daughter too much. Although she concealed it very well, he can see the pain hidden in her heart through the three months of getting along day and night. She still can't let go of that man, and he can't help anything. She, not only couldn't help, but he also dragged her down again and again.

Thinking of this, An Zhengran's heart was pierced like a knife, and he wished he could die immediately so that his daughter could be freed from suffering.
