Soon, he heard the sound of a door opening.
Ji An'an's heart skipped a beat and she immediately switched off her flashlight.
At this moment, when the electricity was cut off, it was pitch black. Suddenly, someone came along, giving off a creepy feeling.
Shuibao grabbed Mummy's clothes tightly and buried himself in her chest.
The waiter seemed to have felt the little master's fear, and he shouted towards the door, displaying his might.
The person seemed to be in a rush as he ran into the shoe rack at the entrance. He gave a muffled groan and a ray of light appeared in his hand.
"An An, where are you?"
A familiar yet calm voice rang out, and Ji An'an's tensed heart was finally at ease.
The waiter smelled a familiar scent and heard a sound, so he immediately ran over happily.
"I'm here." Ji An'an switched on her flashlight again.
Teng Yiyang patted the waiter that was on him and walked towards the living room without changing his footsteps.
As the two lights converged, the living room became much brighter.
He immediately saw the person who was half-kneeling on the ground and holding his son.
Other than the panic on her face, she didn't have any other problems.
Relieved, he picked up his son, who was reaching out to him.
Ji An'an was about to stand up as well, but because she had been squatting for too long, her legs were numb from the stress.
She stumbled as an additional force pulled her up from the ground.
She steadied herself, took a step back, and pulled away from his hand.
Teng Yiyang only wanted to help her up, but when he saw this, he let go.
However, she was still a little disappointed in her heart. Right now, she probably didn't even want him to touch her.
"Daddy, I'm afraid." Shuibao hugged his neck, and his voice was full of attachment.
Teng Yiyang knew that his son was scared, so he patted him on the back to comfort him, "It's okay, dad and mom are here."
By then, Ji An'an had already calmed down and raised her head to look at him.
Even with the light from his cell phone, he could only see the silhouette of the other party.
"Why are you here? Is there no electricity on your side? "
"No, I just happened to see your place suddenly turn dark, so I wanted to come take a look."
He did not say that he had been sitting on the balcony watching her from the moment she had driven in and turned on the lights, as he always did, until the lights went out and he was sure she was asleep.
However, he didn't expect that the room would suddenly turn dark. He was afraid that she wouldn't be able to deal with the situation by herself, but he was also afraid that she would rush over immediately.
But in front of her, there was no need to explain so much.
Afraid she'd be annoyed.
Ji An'an glanced at him, then looked away.
How could he possibly see them so coincidentally? Even if the room was filled with darkness, he would only think that they had all fallen asleep.
Unless he had been watching from the beginning.
"Do you have a flashlight?" Teng Yiyang put his son on the sofa and turned to ask her.
"Hmm?"
"It might be a tap, so I'll take a look for you first, but the light on your phone isn't good enough." He explained.
Ji An'an nodded as she recalled the location of the toolbox and searched for it.
Teng Yiyang took the flashlight and was about to leave when Shuibao jumped off the sofa and hugged his leg.
"What's wrong?"
"Daddy, I want to go with you as well."
Ji An'an could tell that her son was afraid that he would become dependent on her. She didn't wait for him to say anything as she held her son and said to him, "Let's go and have a look."
Teng Yiyang acknowledged and went to the warehouse to find a ladder.
He climbed the ladder, opened the box, and looked inside. Then he frowned slightly.
Ji An'an, carrying her son, stood below and looked up at him with a troubled expression. "What's wrong with that?"
"Don't worry, I'll find the reason."
Teng Yiyang was holding a flashlight in one hand and inspecting it with the other.
From this angle, his entire body was pitch black, and only the light from his hand illuminated his face.
His facial features were erect, and against such a background, they seemed solid and deep, with a bit more of an unswerving determination.
His eyes were deep and serious as he carefully opened the electric wire.
The current him, was wearing a house uniform, as if he had lost his identity as the Teng's's CEO. The aura of a Teng Familu young master, was only that of a normal man, holding up an umbrella to protect his wife and children.
Ji An'an had no choice but to admit that her anxious heart had finally settled down the moment he appeared.
As if he didn't have to worry about the electricity anymore, as if he would give everything to him as soon as he appeared.
"Daddy is so powerful. I know all of this." Shuibao forgot to be afraid as he watched with rapt attention.
The corner of Ji An'an's lips curled up slightly. "Yes."
It could be that the boys had the ability to understand these things without any help. In the old days, whenever there was a problem, he would solve it himself.
At that moment, the person on the ladder turned to her and said, "It could be that something burned out and affected the entire circuit."
There were no tools here, and it was hard for him to fix them in the middle of the night.
"Yes, no one has lived in this house for too long. It's normal for them to age somewhere." Ji An'an went on as he instructed.
At this moment, Teng Yiyang had already descended and returned the ladder to the warehouse.
He dusted off his hands. "So what are you going to do tonight?"
"At this time, I'll go straight to sleep and wait for Master to come repair it tomorrow." Ji An'an felt that this was the only way.
Teng Yiyang frowned, "Shuibao is still young, I'm worried about letting him stay here. You should all go to my place to sleep for the night, we'll talk about it tomorrow."
Ji An'an wanted to refuse, but her son's firm grip on her clothes made it impossible for her to ignore him.
"Mommy, I want to sleep with Daddy tonight."
Ji An'an couldn't ignore the fact that her eyes were still flickering and filled with shock.
"Alright, then I'll have to trouble you today."
Teng Yiyang thought it would take a while to convince her. He heaved a sigh of relief, but her politeness still pierced his heart.
Ji An'an packed some clothes and brought the waiter along with her.
In the next room, Ji An'an found his door wide open.
Teng Yiyang noticed her gaze and casually explained, "I left in a hurry and forgot to close the door. If you want to drink, go get it."
Then he carried his son into the bathroom, "Come, Daddy will take you to shower."
Very quickly, the father and son pair's laughter could be heard.
When she came back here, the images that she had deliberately forgotten rushed to her mind again. Ji An'an pinched her forehead. Actually, she could have just driven back to her old home. Why did she agree to it so quickly?
It was already an hour later after Teng Yiyang had helped his son bathe and coax him to sleep.
Ji An'an washed up in the other bathroom and changed her clothes.
It was eleven o'clock, and she was already asleep.
But she couldn't find a hairdryer, so she waited for him to come out of his son's room and ask.
Therefore, she was bored out of her mind as she held her cell phone and browsed the web.
Not long after, a black shadow appeared before his eyes.
She looked up and met his eyes.
His face, to be exact.
She opened her eyes wide. It was difficult to associate the current him with that arrogant Teng Yiyang.
His eyes were bloodshot, as if he had not rested for a long time.
He seemed to be in dire straits.
Facing his awkwardness once again, he was scattered by shock.
Teng Yiyang saw the surprise in her eyes. Thinking back to when he looked at himself in the mirror, he was indeed a lot slovenly.
He coughed unnaturally, breaking the awkwardness and drawing her attention to him.
"Wait a moment, I have something for you."
With that, he directly went upstairs, not giving her a chance to speak.
Ji An'an still wanted him to hold the hair dryer, so she could only wait a little longer as she watched his back.
He came down quickly with a box in his hand.
"Open it and take a look." He held the box out to her.
The box was very beautiful, with flower vine patterns engraved on it. It gave off a very simple and generous first impression.
Ji An'an's gaze shifted from the box to him. She didn't stretch out her hand, but leaned back instead. Her intention to reject was obvious.
"Why did you give it to me?"
Right now, it would be best if they did not have too many interactions with each other.
Teng Yiyang seemed to have predicted that she would have such a reaction. He wasn't in a hurry, so he half knelt in front of her and placed the box in his hand on her knee.
"My apologies are all inside. Even if I don't accept it, I'll just open it and take a look."
He was tall, and even on one knee he was level with her, sitting on the sofa.
Ji An'an was taken aback by his actions. His gaze was devout, and in addition to that, it looked just like a marriage proposal.
However, when he spoke, Ji An'an instantly understood his purpose for coming here today.
Ji An'an pursed her lips. Did he want her to forgive him for what happened that day?
Seeing that she was indifferent, even wanting to get up and leave, Teng Yiyang grabbed her hand and put it on the box, "If you don't look, I won't let you go."
Ji An'an found the rising anger in her heart to be extinguished by his shameless attitude, making her feel both funny and speechless at the same time.
He was a man who always kept his word, especially when he was thick-skinned.
It was almost midnight, and Ji An'an didn't want to waste any more time with him. She lowered her head and started to open the box.
Teng Yiyang retracted his hand and stared at her, watching her reaction.
When she opened the box, a puppet appeared before her.
Long hair and big eyes. She was wearing a long pink dress, looking like a mini version of her.
She could not help but take out the puppet and examine it carefully. Finally, she looked at him in shock.
Receiving her gaze, Teng Yiyang couldn't tell whether she liked it or not. He held his breath and sounded a little careful.
"I still remember when you saw the TV series where the male lead did the wrong thing and gave the female lead a puppet as compensation. At that time, you still felt that it was very romantic. Now that you've experienced it, do you still think it's romantic? "
Ji An'an was at a loss for a moment. When she finally got that memory out from her head, her expression gradually turned complicated. She didn't expect that he would still remember it.
Back then, didn't he still despise her because she was childish and full of whims?
But now, he actually sent it out himself.
She said, "But I personally carved it with a knife, you …"
He said, "I carved it myself with one knife and another. I learned it from a master in the past two days and only finished carving after several pieces of wood were destroyed."
No wonder I couldn't get in touch with him these few days.
Wait a minute, isn't that the main point right now?
Hearing this, she looked at the puppet in her hand again. Although the craftsmanship was not very exquisite, for a beginner to be able to carve like this was already very good.
For a moment, she didn't know what to say.
Her silence made Teng Yiyang bitter. Was it still unforgivable?
If even that didn't move her, what else could he do?
Ji An'an's gaze had no place to hide as it inadvertently landed on his hand. A few red lines on the back of his white hand were especially obvious.
When she thought about how he said she did it herself, she subconsciously reached out to grab his hand.
Noticing her action, Teng Yiyang immediately put his hands behind his back, while his eyes started to waver.
Ji An'an frowned. "Hold out your hand."
"What's so good about my hand?"
"Take it out."
He still wanted to say something, but met her resolute gaze. He lightly sighed and obediently extended his hand.
Ji An'an grabbed his wrist and turned over the palm of her hand.
He saw that the hand, which was supposed to be pampered, was full of wounds. Some of their fingers were badly swollen, while some of them were dried up with blood.
Ji An'an was shocked by the scene before her.
"You …"
"I'm fine, it's just that this is the first time I've done it. My skills are unfamiliar, so I can just apply some medicine."
Teng Yiyang smiled and tried to retract his hand, but she was still holding it tightly. He raised his head and met her bloodshot eyes.
Seeing her tears, he panicked a little. "Don't cry, I'm really fine."
Hearing this, Ji An'an subconsciously wiped her eyes. Her fingertips were moist, and she was really crying.
She did not feel any heartache for him!
she said to herself.
Ji An'an said in a higher tone, "Bring me the medical kit!"
Teng Yiyang immediately stood up and carried it over. Afraid that it would delay her for a while, she cried again.
Now his eyes were full of fear that she might cry, and he forgot to ask why she was crying, thinking he had done something wrong.
Ji An'an put on a straight face as she applied the medicine. She didn't know what she was angry about, but the strength in her hands couldn't be any lighter.
Teng Yiyang glanced at her, then looked at her again, "Do you like this gift?"
With that, he gasped.
Ji An'an retracted her strength and continued applying the medicine.
With this, Teng Yiyang didn't dare to ask anymore.
Because there were so many wounds on his hand, it would take some time just to apply the antiseptic medicine. Some of the wounds were still very deep, so he needed to be extra careful.
It was said that his ten fingers hurt so much he couldn't help but wonder how he had endured.
Seeing how he only dared to peek at her when he was in the wrong, most of his anger regarding that night dissipated.
"Why did you suddenly do this to me that night?"
Teng Yiyang couldn't help but look up at her when she suddenly spoke.
But she kept her head down, concentrating on applying the medicine.
Teng Yiyang couldn't figure out what was on her mind. She couldn't fool him even if she wanted to, but she was still willing to talk to him at this time. Could it be that he still wanted to lie?
Ji An'an paused, then said, "If you don't want to answer, just pretend that I didn't ask."
"No." he said immediately.
Perhaps because his reaction was too intense, Ji An'an couldn't help but look up at him, only to see that his cheeks were dyed pink, all the way to his ears.
She was still wondering, and she didn't say anything, what was he blushing about?
At the same time, he turned his head away and said in a buzzing voice, "I am not happy seeing you together with Xie Langxuan."
She gritted her teeth. "You treated me like that just because you were unhappy?"
He lowered his head and lowered his voice even more. "I don't want anyone to take you away. You can only be my wife."
Ji An'an was angered by his words and laughed angrily.
"Have you not figured out that we no longer have any legal relations? Men aren't married yet, but both women are free to go. What right do you have to interfere in this?"
This time, she tried not to make eye contact with him and tried to reason with him.
However, how could a possessive person possibly listen? Even if they did, they wouldn't agree.
Teng Yiyang turned around and looked at her with eyes as deep as the sea. "No, you can only marry me."
Ji An'an suppressed her voice and said, "You can't be so domineering. We're already divorced."
He answered matter-of-factly, "We can remarry, but you won't find a second spring."
Ji An'an was angered by his rogue look. "You —"
She forgot the strength in her hand. Teng Yiyang's face turned into a pitiful expression, "It hurts …"
"It hurts," she huffed.
"Won't you be a widow from now on?" Teng Yiyang muttered.
Ji An'an didn't want to talk to him anymore.
Her left hand was severely injured, so she wrapped it with gauze and said in a hard voice, "If you feel uncomfortable, you should still go to the hospital to have a look."
He could hear the concern in her voice, and he said, "Okay."
Putting away the medicine box, Ji An'an looked at the doll beside her and took a deep breath, "Yiyang, let's talk."
Teng Yiyang's eyes flashed. "I —"
"No reason to refuse."
Ji An'an blocked her way back, so he could only agree.
"Let's have a calm talk."
"Alright." He sat up straight.
Ji An'an said with a serious face, "You promised to set me free, but what are you doing now?"
As expected, he went back to this question.
Teng Yiyang also answered with a stern expression, "I'm courting you."
"Pursuit?"
This response broke the calmness in Ji An'an's heart.
"Don't you see? Have I failed so badly? " He clearly did what was written in those CEO novels.
It took a while for Ji An'an to digest his words. "Then, I'll reject your pursuit."
Teng Yiyang's face looked hurt, but he quickly readied himself, "It's okay, liking you for your pursuit is my problem. Rejecting me is your problem. We won't interfere with each other."
Ji An'an was rendered speechless by his words.
The two remained silent for a while, before she finally opened her mouth.
"Do you really distinguish possessiveness, liking, and novelty? Or are you unresigned? "
In her memory, he was arrogant and conceited, how could he continue to follow her closely after being thwarted again and again?
For someone as arrogant as him, she thought that after the divorce, he would no longer appear in front of her. Even if he did appear, it wouldn't be in his current state.
Did he really understand his feelings for her?
"If you truly liked me, then you would not have rejected me because of those words. You did not even ask me for an explanation before you sentenced me to death."
This had always been a knot in her heart.
She didn't want to do it again, in the days to come.
In the past, she was alone, and even though she was injured, she was alone. But now, it was different. She still had Shuibao. She couldn't let Shuibao suffer the same kind of pain.
Teng Yiyang knew that once they had a showdown, what happened that year would be irrevocable.
"An An, back then I was young and angry and did something wrong, but I already knew that I was wrong and that it would never happen again. At that time, it was because I cared too much about you that I was afraid of being proven by you, and perhaps the more I cared the more afraid I became of losing. At that time, I thought that even if the person you liked was not me, I would still tie you up by my side for the rest of my life."
Ji An'an snorted. "Then why did you say those harsh words to hurt me?" "In the end, you still won't believe me. It won't be long before there's no trust between couples. Even if that event didn't happen in the past, we would have split up because of other issues in the future."
He knew that as long as she didn't give up on this question, he would be in the wrong.
His eyes sparkled. "Then I'll learn my lesson now. I'll trust you in the future."
Ji An'an felt that this topic was getting more and more interesting. She massaged her glabella with a slight headache.
Before he could think of anything else, he spoke again.
"An An, I'm no longer a child. How can I not know if it's possessiveness, liking, novelty, or unwillingness?"
She met his eyes. They were black and shiny like a pool of water.
"Because you like it, that's why you want to come close, because you love it, that's why you want to take it. Anthea, I love you, I've loved you for years."
Ji An'an was struck dumb by the sudden confession.1
Teng Yiyang raised his right hand, and caressed her face as he said with deep emotion, "An An, I will only care about you alone in this life. Besides you, there will not be another person with the position of Teng Familu's Young Mistress."
Ji An'an felt as if her hands and feet were frozen, and she didn't even have the ability to push him away.
"We … we're not suitable." She said something inconsequential.
Teng Yiyang smiled, but there was stubbornness in his eyes.
"That won't happen. We are a match made in heaven. You are my rib. I was able to recognize you with a single glance. It's very fitting."
"Also, in this world, you can't find anyone who loves you more than me."
Ji An'an opened her eyes wide. This person didn't know how to speak romantic words. The moment she said it, she was already close to full marks. If she was a girl that had just had her first love, she would have already pounced towards him.
However, she was no longer an ignorant little girl, so she still had some self-control.
"Such flowery words." She snorted softly.
Teng Yiyang traced her face with his finger. The corner of his eyes slightly raised. It was as if a whirlpool was gathering at the bottom of his eyes, making people dizzy. However, his words carried the grievance of a child.
"A flowery speech means that you can't do anything by yourself. Where am I supposed to go without taking action? "Buy you flowers, cook for you, send you out the door, run up and down during your physique period …"
Ji An'an was dumbstruck as she listened to him count them one by one. She swallowed.
"Yes, yes?"
Teng Yiyang felt wronged and complained, "Isn't it?"
It seemed to be true.
Ji An'an instantly felt that she was in the wrong.
Teng Yiyang said in a domineering tone as he saw this.
"No matter what, I am a person, my tyranny, my time, my love, my inside and outside. If you want it, you have to want it, if you don't want it, I'm determined to keep you alive for the rest of my life."
Heavens, Ji An'an had never seen someone who pursued others like this before. Was it really certain that he would be able to catch up to a girl like this?
But for some reason, at this moment, she couldn't push him away.
And somewhere in his heart, it was as soft as water.
