Chapter 992 - Sir Is Back!
All these years, Su Huan had been living his life while guarding all these?
Song Yao held the wallet and sat down on the seat next to the trash can, unable to calm down.
The female bodyguard had no idea why Song Yao was sitting there and crying, but just now, she had vaguely heard the conversation between Song Yao and Su Huan. Hence, she could roughly guess their relationship.
Seeing Cen Mo coming over with Tuan Tuan from a distance, the female bodyguard quickly said, “Madam… Sir is back!”
Song Yao turned her head sideways and saw Cen Mo carrying many bags in one hand and holding Tuan Tuan’s hand with the other. The little fellow was hugging a large barbie doll in his arms, but he looked even better and cuter than the barbie doll.
Cen Mo looked over at Song Yao. She gripped the wallet in her hand. It would be too obvious for her to toss the wallet in the trash now. She casually handed the wallet to the female bodyguard and said softly, “Help me throw this away!”
The female bodyguard nodded, telling Song Yao not to worry.
Song Yao adjusted her emotions and stood up with a smile. She wrapped herself firmly with her jacket and tucked her long hair behind her ears, gazing at Cen Mo and Tuan Tuan with a smile.
The little fellow came to Song Yao hugging a barbie doll with Cen Mo. He happily raised the barbie doll up high for Song Yao and said in a soft and cute voice, “For Sister!”
Song Yao bent over and placed a hand on her tummy, stroking Tuan Tuan’s head with the other before receiving the barbie doll from him. “Okay, then Aunt will thank your sister on her behalf!”
Tuan Tuan nodded docilely.
“Done shopping with Tuan Tuan?” Song Yao got up and asked Cen Mo.
Maybe because she was feeling sheepish, as Song Yao looked at Cen Mo, she felt that his maybe-smiling-maybe-not expression was kind of scary, and her eye kept twitching.
“Done. We even waited for a while upstairs… until you were done talking with your friend, and only then did we come down!” Cen Mo spoke calmly, but it made Song Yao feel a chill run down her back. She hugged the barbie doll tightly, her fingertips clutching the doll’s clothes.
“Are you happy… seeing your friend?” Cen Mo asked.
Song Yao pursed her lips and said nothing, feeling fearful. Not for herself… but for Su Huan!
Cen Mo was psychologically ill, and when he got hot-tempered, he behaved like a maniac…
All along, Cen Mo couldn’t bear to harm Song Yao, but he had plenty of ways to force Song Yao using people she cared about!
Just like how he had forced Song Yao to sleep with him willingly back then!
So, had Cen Mo seen her with Su Huan earlier?
Tuan Tuan, who hadn’t the slightest inkling what was going on, was looking to and fro between Cen Mo and Song Yao. Although Uncle was smiling, the sensitive Tuan Tuan could sense that something wasn’t quite right.
Tuan Tuan tugged at Cen Mo’s hand. “Uncle?”
“Have you thought of what you want to eat?” Cen Mo asked Song Yao as if nothing had happened.
The more peaceful Cen Mo seemed, the more scared Song Yao felt…
“Cen Mo… why don’t we go home to eat?” Song Yao lowered her gaze and asked Tuan Tuan, “Okay?”
Tuan Tuan nodded.
“How can we?” Cen Mo bent over to lift Tuan Tuan up. “Since we promised Tuan Tuan we’d be eating outside, we should naturally eat outside. I asked you to think of what to eat, have you decided? Or were you too busy reminiscing about the past?”
“Cen Mo…” Song Yao’s brows furrowed. She didn’t like the way Cen Mo was pretending to be calm.
Song Yao couldn’t very well say anything in Tuan Tuan’s presence, so she could only wait to speak with Cen Mo in private when they got home.
“What do you want to eat?” Cen Mo asked Tuan Tuan.
Tuan Tuan shook his head and looked at Song Yao.
The uneasy Song Yao smiled at Tuan Tuan and said, “I heard from your mama that your papa wants you to lose weight. Then… let’s take the opportunity while your papa isn’t around to eat pizza, okay? It’s on the first floor…”
At the mention of pizza, the little fellow nodded happily, clapping his little hands vigorously.
“Cen Mo…” Song Yao looked at Cen Mo again.
“Let’s talk when we get back!” Cen Mo then carried Tuan Tuan to take the elevator downstairs.
Song Yao gritted her teeth and followed.
When she caught up, Song Yao heard Cen Mo asking the man next to him, “Where’s Saihand?”
“I’ll call Mr. Saihand right now…”
“Ask him to come back! Immediately! I want to see him when I get home!” Cen Mo’s voice was low.
Song Yao’s heart kept sinking. Cen Mo’s asking Saihand to come back, she was afraid it was because of Su Huan…
Before Cen Mo and Song Yao brought Tuan Tuan into the restaurant, the pizza place had already been cleared. Other than the staff and the bodyguards brought in by Cen Mo and Song Yao, there were only the three of them there.
When Song Yao came back from taking Tuan Tuan to wash his hands, she heard the seated Cen Mo say on the phone, “Hurrying back home? Then make him unable to go back to China…”
After hanging up the phone, Cen Mo saw Song Yao coming back with Tuan Tuan. He set his phone aside like nothing had happened and smiled at Song Yao.
Because they were the only customers, the pizza came very quickly. But placed before Song Yao was the bird’s nest porridge and several side dishes that Cen Mo asked his men to buy from elsewhere, all light flavors which Song Yao favored after she got pregnant, as well as shrimp dumplings.
“Su Huan and I accidentally ran into each other. I went to buy accessories for our baby and just so happened to bump into Su Huan, who was accompanying his cousin to shop there…” Song Yao explained, unable to stand Cen Mo’s hint of a smile.
Cen Mo looked at Song Yao, not saying a word.
Amidst the heavy atmosphere, only Tuan Tuan was eating happily with his head lowered.
Just then, the windchime at the entrance of the pizza parlor rang, and Cen Mo’s bodyguard came in from outside and walked to Cen Mo’s side. He bent over respectfully and handed the wristwatch to Cen Mo. “Sir…”
Song Yao looked at the wristwatch in the bodyguard’s hand, feeling suffocated. Her grip on her spoon tightened, and the veins on the back of her hands popped up.
That was the digital watch Song Yao tossed into the trash can…
Cen Mo took a deep look at Song Yao with his dark eyes, then stared at the wristwatch placed on the table. He put the pizza he was holding on the plate and wiped his hands with a napkin, then casually set the napkin aside. He then picked up the watch and sized it up carelessly. “What’s so special about this watch?”
Cen Mo looked at Song Yao.
Song Yao pursed her lips and said nothing. Cen Mo continued, “Could it be that you gave this to him?”
The hair on Song Yao’s back stood up. She was very familiar with the hint of a smile Cen Mo was wearing on his face. Song Yao was seized by trepidation in that instant.
Lying wasn’t a wise move…
The quick-witted Song Yao nodded and admitted to it. “Right… that’s why Su Huan returned it to me, indicating we’ll be strangers from now on. He said… we’re not even ex-classmates from now on! That we’ll each live our own lives!”
Song Yao couldn’t defend Su Huan blatantly. The more she shielded Su Huan, the angrier Cen Mo would get.
“Toilet…” Tuan Tuan said amidst the nervous atmosphere.
The bodyguard nodded and volunteered to accompany Tuan Tuan, leaving some private time for Cen Mo and Song Yao.
Once Tuan Tuan left, the atmosphere became even more oppressive and gloomy. There was only the television hanging from the ceiling, which was playing a fast food advertisement endorsed by a celebrity.
