Keeping the promise

"Mom, why don't you eat?" Li Yunxuan noticed that Zheng Wancheng was acting strange. He stopped what he was doing and looked up at Zheng Wancheng, his eyes full of concern.

Zheng Wancheng tried hard to calm herself down and forced a smile: "Mom is not very hungry, you eat more." However, she did not move her chopsticks and just sat there quietly.

But in fact, she couldn't swallow it after just a few bites. She felt confused and uneasy.

"Yunxuan, let's go." Zheng Wancheng stood up and pulled Li Yunxuan to leave.

Li Yunxuan was still a little reluctant: "Mom, I haven't finished eating yet."

Zheng Wancheng's voice was a little anxious: "No, I won't eat it anymore. When I get home, Mom will ask Aunt Zhang to make you something better."

Li Yunxuan had no choice but to stand up.

Just as they passed by Li Yunting's table, Li Yunxuan suddenly felt a chill on his back, so he subconsciously turned his head to look.

This was a surprising sight, as Li Yunting was sitting there, talking to a woman.

"Kacha!" Li Yunxuan thought to himself that something was wrong, thinking that his father was in trouble now.

The scene of his father being scolded immediately appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but shudder.

At this time, Li Yunting was concentrating on talking with Qi Yue and didn't notice the presence of Zheng Wancheng and Li Yunxuan at all. Li Yunxuan nervously pulled Zheng Wancheng out of the restaurant quickly.

As soon as he left the restaurant, Zheng Wancheng's eyes began to turn red and tears welled up in his eyes.

"Mom, maybe Dad is just talking about work." Li Yunxuan comforted her carefully. He knew that his mother was very upset, but he didn't want to make her sad.

Zheng Wancheng took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, then gently touched Li Yunxuan's head and said, "Be good, Yunxuan. Mom knows."

But she still felt like there was a huge stone blocking her heart and felt extremely uncomfortable.

Li Yunting in the restaurant had no idea what had just happened and continued his conversation with Qi Yue.

After Zheng Wancheng took Li Yunxuan back, he suppressed his emotions and tried to make himself look calmer.

"Mrs. Zhang, make some of Yunxuan's favorite dishes." Zheng Wancheng tried his best to make his voice sound normal.

Mrs. Zhang responded while wondering, "Didn't you say you wouldn't be back for dinner? Why did you come back suddenly?" But she didn't dare ask more and hurried to the kitchen to get busy.

Zheng Wancheng did not answer Mrs. Zhang's words, but returned to his room silently. He slammed the door shut and quickly locked it.

She leaned against the door, tears streaming down her cheeks. The more she thought about what she had just seen, the angrier she became.

She didn't want to stay in this room full of memories, as if every corner was hurting her heart.

So Zheng Wancheng simply packed up some things and moved to the guest room. She took out the key and isolated herself from the outside world. She lay on the bed, covered her head with the quilt, and tried to calm herself down.

Li Yunxuan finished his meal downstairs, and he was always worried about his mother. He carefully asked Mrs. Zhang to pack some food, and then took the plate upstairs.

"Mom, mom, I've brought you some food." Li Yunxuan gently knocked on the door of the guest room.

Zheng Wancheng in the room felt warm in his heart when he heard Li Yunxuan's voice, but he still didn't want the child to see him in his current state, so he didn't respond.

Li Yunxuan did not give up and continued to knock on the door: "Mom, can you open the door? I know you are feeling bad. Don't be alone. Talk to me."

Zheng Wancheng still didn't say anything, but her tears flowed even more violently.

Li Yunxuan waited outside the door for a while, and said in a crying voice: "Mom, I'm scared. If you ignore me, I will wait here forever."

Hearing the child say this, Zheng Wancheng finally softened her heart. She sat up, wiped her tears, took a deep breath, walked to the door and opened it.

Li Yunxuan saw his mother's red eyes and threw himself into her arms distressedly: "Mom, don't cry, Dad must be just working, don't be sad."

Zheng Wancheng touched Li Yunxuan's head and said, "Yunxuan, go and have a rest, Mom is tired too.

Li Yunxuan nodded sensibly and put the food on the table: "Mom, eat a little and don't starve yourself." After that, he left the guest room, looking back every few steps.

Zheng Wancheng looked at the food on the table, feeling mixed emotions. She knew she shouldn't be so impulsive, maybe Li Yunting was just talking about work, but the scene she saw at that time still made her feel uneasy.

As the night deepened, Zheng Wancheng had no desire to sleep. She kept thinking about every detail of her time with Li Yunting, and the grievance and anger in her heart were gradually replaced by worry.
