Don't cry, baby. I'll punish you tonight.

After submitting the last batch of drawings, Lin Qinghuan rejected the editor's latest letter of invitation.

It's no longer necessary.

It has been two days since the last voice call from He Yanlang.

Lin Qinghuan held the phone in her hands, feeling a little dazed and lost, as if she had returned to the beginning when He Yanlang would disappear from the face of the earth at any time.

It would be a lie to say that I don't feel lost, and this little bit of loss is nothing compared to the long period of being alone in the future.

Outside the house, Lin's mother knocked on the door again.

"Mom, come in."

Lin Qinghuan had hardly left her room for two days. She had no interest in anything and looked depressed.

"Baby, do you want to go out for a walk?"

"I have a manuscript due tomorrow."

"Don't stay in the room painting all day. Go out for a walk and combine work and rest." Lin's mother put the fruit on the table and her eyes fell on Lin Qinghuan's hand holding the pen.

"It's time to hand in the manuscript."

Mother Lin covered Lin Qinghuan's hand with hers and sighed, "You haven't been in good condition these few days since he left."

Lin Qinghuan was stunned.

Both parents noticed it.

"Huanhuan, your father and I have been thinking about this for a long time. Why don't you try it with him? Live one day at a time. Just live in the present."

They couldn't bear to see their daughter in this state. They hadn't seen her for a few days and she was so distraught all day long. It was heartbreaking to see her like that.

Lin Qinghuan was very surprised that her mother could say such irrational words and change her initial attitude.

Lin Qinghuan stuffed a grape into her mouth and said, "Mom, we can't do that."

"Ding..."

Lin Qinghuan's cell phone, which was placed on the table, began to ring.

Both mother and daughter turned their eyes to the phone screen at the same time.

It belongs to He Yanlang.

"Mom is going out first." Lin's mother said, turning and walking out of the door.

Lin Qinghuan stared at the phone, feeling a little excited inside, and hesitated for a few seconds before answering the call.

Before she opened her mouth, He Yanlang had already spoken.

"I'm downstairs at your house."

"You're back?"

"Okay, come down." After getting off the plane at the airport, He Yanlang didn't even go to the hotel, but went straight to the downstairs of Lin Qinghuan's house.

He couldn't help missing her madly. It was only five days, but it seemed like a very long time. So, as soon as he got off the plane, He Yanlang couldn't wait to run directly to her neighborhood.

"I'm busy." Lin Qinghuan said against her will. She obviously wanted to see the other person, but she wanted to do it for the last and only time.

He Yanlang didn't call her for two days, she was very angry and he needed an explanation.

There was a hesitation on the other side, and then a disappointed and hurt tone, "Baby, what's wrong?"

"I'm busy." Lin Qinghuan still spoke in that cold tone, as if she didn't want to see him.

"Huanhuan, what's wrong? Come downstairs and we'll talk."

"No." Lin Qinghuan refused.

"Then I'll go upstairs?" He Yanlang had already started walking towards the lobby.

can not wait anymore.

"I'll be down." Lin Qinghuan still didn't want He Yanlang to meet his parents even though they knew of each other's existence.

"I'm waiting for you."

Lin Qinghuan hung up the phone.

Sent another text message to He Yanlang.

【Lin Qinghuan: I need to put on some makeup, wait for me for a while. 】

He Yanlang responded immediately with his usual “hmm”.

Lin Qinghuan's makeup was very light, she looked pure and charming, her long hair was curled into big waves, she had two bow hairpins on her ears, and she wore a chiffon white puff-sleeved shirt with a pink flowing skirt.

Both parents were in the living room, watching their daughter dress herself up beautifully. They did not feel happy but worried.

"Going out?" asked Father Lin.

Lin Qinghuan smiled and replied, "Yes."

Father Lin stood up from the sofa, and Lin Qinghuan hesitated for a moment.

"dad?"

Mother Lin pulled Father Lin and motioned him to sit down.

It is difficult to evaluate the situation now that things have developed to this point.

As a parent, I don’t know what to do.

As parents, Lin Qinghuan knows better than anyone how she's doing during the days that He Yanlang has been away.

It's simply a sin!

Lin's father and mother couldn't understand why their daughter had to suffer like this.

The old couple have worked diligently and conscientiously all their lives, teaching and educating people honestly, and have never done anything immoral.

But let my daughter suffer such a love disaster.

"Remember to come back for dinner in the evening." Father Lin said as he turned his face away, not daring to look at Lin Qinghuan.

"Okay." Lin Qinghuan walked towards the entrance and out the door.

He Yanlang had no patience and never waited for anyone, not even for a minute. But he actually waited patiently for Lin Qinghuan for nearly 40 to 50 minutes, which would have been absolutely impossible in the past.

In the lobby, he crossed his legs and tapped the sofa leisurely with his knuckles, giving the property lady a good meal.

He stood up only when he saw Lin Qinghuan walking out of the elevator.

It's a very simple outfit, a black linen shirt with a black vest, and black straight pants.

Fashionability depends entirely on his face. No matter how simple the clothes are, they look good on him, ascetic and noble.

When He Yanlang is there, he is the scenery, and he can make people automatically ignore all the people and scenery around him, with only him in their eyes.

Lin Qinghuan only has him in her eyes. No matter how long she hasn't seen him before, he is the only one in her eyes.

She didn't move, just stared in amazement.

He Yanlang took the initiative to walk towards her, and naturally hugged her in his arms, with one hand around her waist and the other hand lifting Lin Qinghuan's chin and kissing her.

It was a very shallow kiss, and Lin Qinghuan rejected his attempt to deepen it.

"Someone." Her ears turned completely red.

She pushed He Yanlang away and walked out. He Yanlang took a step forward and took the initiative to grab her hand, interlocking their fingers, and then led them to the car parked outside.

In the back seat of the Maybach, He Yanlang couldn't help but hold Lin Qinghuan's face and kiss her.

"I miss you so much." He spread his voice in a deep voice with bewitching power.

"Liar!" Lin Qinghuan pushed him away and stared at him.

He Yanlang: ???

"Huanhuan, what did I do wrong? Tell me." He spoke in a low voice, somewhat helpless, but tears were welling up in Lin Qinghuan's deer eyes.

He Yanlang knew that he must have overlooked some details, which made Lin Qinghuan unhappy.

"Why didn't you call me? You haven't called me for two days. Do you want me no longer? Do you want to disappear suddenly again?"

Lin Qinghuan cared a lot.

If you really miss someone, how can you bear it for so long without calling her and giving her an explanation?

It turned out that Lin Qinghuan was bothered by the fact that he hadn't called her for two days.

He would not tell Lin Qinghuan that he had been almost in prison for the past two days and that someone was setting a trap to send him to jail.

"I'm under investigation by Party J and can't call you, Huanhuan." He Yanlang said softly with a smile in his eyes.

"What did you do?" Lin Qinghuan couldn't believe it.

"Bribe." He teased Lin Qinghuan as if it had nothing to do with him, "I'm going in, do you want to wait for me?"

"Bribe?" Lin Qinghuan was still in shock, blinking, unable to react for a moment.
