You hidden in my heart - Chapter 47.3

Chapter 47.3

Li Xining was about to leave the house when her cell phone vibrated out of nowhere. It was a notification from WeChat. She knew it was from Lu Yuling without looking at it. But she didn’t check what he sent right away. Rather than pulling the phone out of her pocket, she waited until she was in the car.

She didn’t sit in the front passenger seat but deliberately sat in the back seat.

Zhao Hailan didn’t force Li Xining to sit in a certain place. He just asked Li Xining where to go. After she answered, he concentrated on driving.

Lu Yuling sent several voice messages, and Li Xining was afraid that he would say something shameless again, so she didn’t dare to press the speaker button directly. Instead, she first transferred it to text.

The first voice-to-text message was, “I’m already here; have you left yet? ]

The second voice message was sent five minutes after the first one, and the text content was, “You are not really not coming, are you?]

The third voice-to-text content. [I’m telling you; if you don’t come, I’ll be angry, the kind that’s hard to appease!]

Li Xining wanted to laugh when she saw the warning, but she held it back and clicked on the fourth voice message. She originally wanted to convert it to text, but her hand shook, and she clicked on the speaker. “It’s really cold by the river right now, and the wind is strong. Do you really want me to freeze by the river? I’m weak; wouldn’t you feel bad if I really got sick?”

The princess Lu’s demeanour was clearly revealed between the lines.

Li Xining simply didn’t know how to respond to him. However, at this moment, Zhao Hailan, who had been driving quietly, suddenly asked with concern, “Is he in poor health?”

Li Xining: ‘…He can fight ten people alone in a group fight, and he is not in good health?’ But she couldn’t just answer Zhao Hailan like that. After thinking for a while, she replied concisely, “He is lying.”

Zhao Hailan then realised that he had misunderstood. He smiled and asked, “Is he particularly naughty?”

The word “naughty” was only used by elders to describe younger people they cared about.

It seemed that in Zhao Hailan’s eyes, Lu Yuling was still a child. Li Xining did not continue to perfunctorily answer him and replied, “He is quite naughty but quite interesting and smart; sometimes he is very annoying.”

“He was teasing you on purpose.” Zhao Hailan’s expression was full of smiles. “How did you two know each other?”

Li Xining did not hide the fact. “We were classmates in the first grade of junior high school.”

Zhao Hailan was surprised and asked, “You have known each other since junior high school?”

Li Xining nodded. “But then I transferred to another school, and we became classmates again in the first year of high school.”

Zhao Hailan understood. “Oh.” After a moment of silence, he mustered up the courage to ask, “What about his mother…”

Li Xining answered straightforwardly, “I haven’t seen her.”

In fact, Lu Yuling had told her a lot about his mother, such as how beautiful she was when she was young, how she was voted Snow White by all the teachers and students when she was a teacher in the school, and when she fell ill and when she passed away. She knew all these things and even knew where Lu Yuling was born and grew up before he was five years old. However, she would not tell these things to Zhao Hailan.

She wouldn’t say a word that she shouldn’t say.

Zhao Hailan was silent again, with a hint of pain in his expression. After a long time, he regained his composure and continued to ask about Lu Yuling, “What are his hobbies?”

Li Xining hesitated for a moment and finally replied, “He likes singing and playing guitar very much. He often goes to bars to perform as a resident singer. By the way, he also wants to study music in college. He wants to be a singer.”

She knew that Lu Yuling’s dream was to become a singer, and Zhao Hailan could help him achieve his dream, so she decided to tell him the truth.

Zhao Hailan also understood what Li Xining meant. He nodded solemnly and replied seriously, “Yes, I understand.” Then, as if to repay Li Xining for telling him this important information, he smiled and replied, “His mother also wanted to be a singer.”

Li Xining was stunned for a moment and looked at Zhao Hailan with some surprise. She didn’t expect that he would take the initiative to tell her about Lu Yuling’s mother, which was equivalent to directly admitting to her that he was Lu Yuling’s father.

Li Xining didn’t say anything.

Zhao Hailan continued. “His mother is very beautiful and talented. She can play the guitar and the piano. If she were alive now, she would definitely become a superstar singer. But… I didn’t have the ability to help her at the time.”

In addition to some difficult-to-conceal affection, there was also some difficult-to-conceal agony and guilt beneath the love, which was tinged with a soft smile.

The beauty had vanished, and he would never see her again in his life, even if he did miss her.

Li Xining suddenly felt a little sad, but at the same time, she was also a little confused, because Zhao Hailan didn’t seem to be acting, and there was no need to act in front of her, as an outsider.

‘He really misses Lu Yuling’s mother. Why did he abandon them?’

Li Xining didn’t understand, but she didn’t say anything. After thinking for a while, she suddenly asked, “Will you tell him?”

Zhao Hailan understood what she was asking and replied, “Wait until he finishes the college entrance examination; otherwise, it will affect his studies.”

Li Xining breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, Zhao Hailan asked again, “Do you know which university’s music department he wants to apply to?”

Li Xining did not hide it. “Xifu University.”

Zhao Hailan: “Yeah, the school is good.”

Li Xining hesitated for a moment and asked, “Is the music department of Xifu University good?”

Zhao Hailan opened his lips gently and said without hesitation, “It doesn’t matter to him whether it’s good or not. I will give him whatever he wants in the future. I will make him a superstar.”

He failed to help his woman back then, and now he must make up for this debt to their son. He would personally pave a star-studded avenue for him and make him the brightest and most dazzling star in the sky.
