Chapter 223 - 223: Preoccupied



Hai Tang was flattered by Shu Mei’s rare initiative to chat. She was excited and could not help but say a lot.

Although Shu Mei was a little calm, she patiently replied to her sentence by sentence.

At this moment, the two of them were like an ordinary mother and daughter, chatting about the trivial daily life.

Hai Tang had never dared to imagine this before.

Hai Tang and Shu Mei chatted for more than ten minutes. During this time, Hai Tang talked a lot while Shu Mei listened quietly. Occasionally, Shu Mei would chat with her.

Gu Yun was also very quiet. He felt that Hai Tang was a little special at this moment.

He had never seen Hai Tang so cautious, unfamiliar, and respectful toward someone.

Towards the end of the conversation, Hai Tang carefully noticed that Shu Mei seemed to be rubbing her temples tiredly. She immediately said sensibly,” If you’re tired, rest first. I’ll call you next time.”

Shu Mei did not refuse. Instead, she nodded and said,”Okay, I’ll hang up first.’

Hai Tang smiled at her, but did not take the initiative to hang up. Instead, she looked at Shu Mei’s face on the other end of the video nervously and uneasily. She was afraid that she had done something wrong and made Shu Mei unhappy.

Now that she could chat with Shu Mei for so long, Hai Tang was already very happy.

Shu Mei didn’t hang up. She suddenly paused, and her eyes seemed to cross the distance of space and time as she looked at Hai Tang.” I’ve been dealing with the matters of my family’s company overseas with Haiyuan’s father. There’s a problem with the capital chain and business, so I won’t be back for a while. You’ve worked hard to take care of Haiyuan for a while. If Hai Yuan makes you feel wronged, tell me and I’ll come back to teach him a lesson.”

This was a rare moment of concern from Shu Mei. The corners of Hai Tang’s mouth could not help but curl up. She said gently,” Don’t worry. I will definitely take good care of Haiyuan. He is also very obedient. We get along very well.” By the time you guys return to the country, Haiyuan might have grown fatter and taller.”

“Yes, alright.” Shu Mei seemed to smile at Hai Tang and hung up.

As soon as the call ended, Hai Tang suddenly became absent-minded. She placed her phone in front of her chest and revealed a smile that was mixed with many complicated emotions.

Then, she pursed her lips and her eyes became a little moist.

Gu Yun knew that her emotions had become difficult to calm down because of this phone call, so he patted her back gently as if to comfort her.

Hai Tang took a deep breath, her eyes red as she said, “Gu Yun, do you know? This is still my…” This is the first time my adoptive mother has spoken to me in such a calm manner.”

She almost blurted out the word ‘mom’.

Hai Tang had never experienced true motherly love. She also yearned to have a mother, but Shu Mei did not agree, so she did not dare to call Shu Mei mother.

This was a regret that Hai Tang had buried in her heart since she was young.

Gu Yun had already understood Hai Tang’s inner thoughts and thoughts through her state on the phone with Shu Mei. He could understand where Hai Tang’s sadness and gratitude came from, so he replied,” That’s good. Your relationship with her is much closer than before. I think it will get better and better in the future.

“Yes! I’m very happy!” Hai Tang couldn’t help but laugh and nod heavily. The tears in her eyes finally fell. They were tears of happiness and excitement.

At this moment, she finally had the time to look at her phone screen. However, several missed call notifications suddenly popped up, causing her expression to change drastically.

Last night, she accidentally left her phone in the swimsuit changing room and missed so many calls from Haiyuan!

“So many missed calls from Haiyuan, all in the middle of the night. I didn’t receive any of them!” Hai Tang’s face instantly paled. In an instant, a bad feeling welled up in her heart.

Her fingers trembled as she dialed the number back. Then, she ran downstairs without even putting on her shoes.

Gu Yun also sensed that something was wrong and hurriedly followed Hai Tang downstairs.

‘ Haiyuan, Haiyuan should be in his room. Did he go home last night?” Hai Tang muttered to herself as she hurried downstairs.

“He called me so many times in the middle of the night. It should be a prank, right?” Hai Tang said with trembling lips.

However, when she ran to Hai Yuan’s room and pushed the door open in a panic, she found that there was no one inside.

Even the bed was neat and tidy. It was obvious that no one had come back to sleep..
