He kneeled for a day and a night. Papa Zong was not at home, and Mama Zong avoided him.
But Fu Jiunian didn't touch a single drop of water. He was visibly collapsing. His stubble was green and black, and his face was dark.
Looking at the haggard Fu Jiunian, Mama Zong really didn't want to hold on any longer.
Her eyes were red as she walked down the stairs.
Her usually calm face also showed a haggard expression.
"Jiunian, little Li, she's in the Maldives. Jiunian, go find her and persuade her."
"Okay!"
He didn't understand Mama Zong's last sentence and only thought that Zong Li was throwing a tantrum. Fu Jiunian had already breathed a sigh of relief after getting news from Zong Li.
Fu Jiunian boarded the Zong family's private plane and headed south.
*
The sSky of the Maldives was very blue, and the ocean was like a huge piece of endless gemstone.
Fu Jiunian found the hotel with ease.
He went to the second floor and knocked on the door of the sea-view room.
"Is it Jiunian?" A soft voice came from the sea-view room.
Hearing this voice, Fu Jiunian felt a rush of longing, and his throat was dry. He answered, and his eyes felt dry.
He missed her!
When he saw the letter she left, Fu Jiunian was really scared.
Usually, he would comfort himself that they still had a long time. He could finish what he was doing first, and then go back to stay with her for a long time.
But when he really found out that she was gone, Fu Jiunian realized that without Zong Li, everything he was doing now was meaningless.
"It's me," he answered dryly.
Clearing his throat, Fu Jiunian suppressed his emotions and spoke again.
"Ah Li, open the door. It's me, I am Jiunian."
A rustling sound came from the sea-view room, and then the door was opened.
Behind the white door, the sea breeze blew in. Xia Ling, who was wearing a white nightdress, had her long hair blown out and her white nightdress fluttered.
Such a beautiful face appeared in front of Fu Jiunian.
"Ah Li!" Fu Jiunian went up and hugged Xia Ling in his arms.
He buried his head in her neck and took in a deep breath of her familiar scent.
Before seeing her, he was a little sad. Such a naughty Ah Li said that she would leave him and run away. He should be angry with her and let her know that such a joke could not be made casually!
But when he saw her, he could not be angry at all. He could only feel a deep sense of guilt.
"Ah Li, I'm sorry." He apologized over and over again.
He was the one who ignored her. He shouldn't have been so immersed in his career. He ignored her and even fought for their future as a cover to ignore her.
A thousand words. It was all his fault.
"Ah Li, it doesn't matter if you hit me or scold me, but you absolutely can't run away just because of a disagreement! I will be angry!" Fu Jiunian said sullenly.
It wasn't just anger. The pain of having a piece of his heart ripped out, Fu Jiunian, who was in despair, didn't want to experience it again for the rest of his life.
"It's okay, it's okay. I was just playing with you." Her slender hand patted Fu Jiunian's back lightly.
Xia Ling had lost a lot of weight, but her almond-shaped eyes were still bright.
She hugged him and said with a smile, "Jiunian, didn't you find me just like that? It was just a joke. Even if you didn't come to find me, when the time was up, I would have gone back to find you!"
"Just a joke?" Fu Jiunian's body stiffened.
He looked up again, and his dark eyes looked at Xia Ling seriously and seriously. "You can't even play with me! Anything is fine, but not this! Absolutely not!"
