The person who called was Leng Zimo. After returning to the company, he estimated that Luo Xiaoqian should have gotten home by now, but he hadn’t received her call. He couldn’t help but feel worried, so he called her again.
Although he had only known her for a short while, this woman always inexplicably tugged at his heartstrings.
"Because John is leaving, it took some time and made you worry."
Luo Xiaoqian understood him. As soon as she answered the call, she explained the reason.
"Did something happen?"
"John’s mother is critically ill; he needs to return to the United States for a while."
"Then Mo Mo..."
Leng Zimo felt a bit worried. She was alone, taking care of the child and working.
Luo Xiaoqian sensed his concern and smiled, "Don’t worry, I can manage. When I was in the United States before, I even took Mo Mo to work with me..."
On the other end, Leng Zimo spoke in a low voice, "That was before. Now you have me. I don’t want you to be polite with me."
Luo Xiaoqian was at a loss for words, feeling warmth, but also some heartache.
This man, even after five years, was still so fond of her, but she could only bear to keep the truth from him. That kind of suppression was really hard to endure.
"It’s getting late, go to sleep early."
Before he hung up, she spoke urgently.
"Zimo..."
"Is there anything else?"
"I..." Luo Xiaoqian bit her lip, "I really like you. I... I think I’m falling in love with you."
Not that I’m just falling in love, but I’ve always loved you. I just can’t tell you.
