Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 656 - 636 Madam, Please Don’t Be Rash
Jiayi came to her senses and walked out of the bedroom within a few steps. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows on the first floor, she saw the orange light of the car headlamps, followed by the sound of metal colliding as the villa’s retractable iron gate slowly opened. As the sound of tires rolling over the ground faded, the car gradually drove away.
The courtyard suddenly darkened.
The whole house also became much quieter.
Auntie Li, having seen off the young master, entered the house and hurried upstairs. Seeing Jiayi, who looked forlorn and dispirited in the corridor, she couldn’t help but approach her, "Madam, what exactly happened? I asked the young master where he was going, and he said he was going to stay at Huafu Biyuan for a few days."
Huafu Biyuan was one of the Huo Family’s properties in Yunling, very close to the city hall where he worked every day.
Jiayi didn’t say much, looking somewhat tired, "It’s nothing. If he wants to stay, let him stay. It’s convenient for his work, after all."
He had just taken office, with too many official duties, and hadn’t arranged a honeymoon vacation. After the wedding, he still went to work at the city hall as usual.
Hearing the indifference in Jiayi’s words, Auntie Li knew the two had quarreled, and it must have been over something serious.
Even if they had disputes on a regular basis, it wouldn’t usually result in the young master storming out, leaving the young madam behind, especially during their honeymoon period.
Since Jiayi chose not to elaborate, Auntie Li felt it wasn’t her place to pry further. However, she couldn’t help but offer some advice, "Madam, don’t mind my nagging, but you’ve just had your wedding. Can’t whatever it is be forgiven and forgotten? Yesterday’s paper was still talking about your sweet newlywed life and deep love. If the media were to find out that the young master moved out right after returning from the hotel... they’d have a field day, and it would be like slapping both the young master and yourself in the face. Sigh, why didn’t you stop the young master? Or... perhaps you could give him a call now, madam."
Who wanted to argue with him? She too had hoped for a few days of peace, but what could she do with that man in such a temper?
Call him now and ask him to come back? Was she eager to continue punishing herself?
A period of calm would be good.
Her lashes fluttered, suppressing the emotions within her heart, "No need."
**
Several days flashed by.
Huo Zhenyang was still staying at Huafu Biyuan.
Meanwhile, Nie Yixiao was still unreachable, his phone switched off.
It was as if he had vanished from the face of the earth.
She felt increasingly apprehensive, comforting herself by thinking that since Nie Yixiao had promised not to report the Huo Family and the S Country Royal Family’s private dealings, and since the Huo Family hadn’t found him yet, maybe he had already left China, right?
Only with that thought could she breathe a little easier.
Life flowed on, like water slipping by.
Apart from Zaizai occasionally pestering her with questions about why daddy hadn’t come home, life seemed no different from before.
Under Auntie Li’s persistent persuasion, she even called him twice, but once the call went unanswered, and the other time Ade picked up, saying he was in a meeting.
That evening at dinner, Jiayi was once again preoccupied, picking at her food absentmindedly.
Auntie Li was serving dishes and quietly tugged at Zaizai’s sleeve.
Zaizai immediately put down his chopsticks, "Mommy, when is daddy coming back?"
Jiayi was taken aback; she had no idea, who knew the man was serious this time? 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
Seeing no response from Mommy, Zaizai’s eyes blinked.
When Mommy usually argued with Daddy, if he mentioned Daddy, Mommy would get angry and tell him not to bring it up.
But this time Mommy hadn’t said a word, and she even called Daddy on her own a few days ago, which meant the argument this time—definitely had to be Mommy’s fault, making her feel guilty and ashamed.
In truth, if Mommy wanted Daddy to come back, she surely had a way; she was just too embarrassed, wasn’t she?
After all, Mommy was a girl, and for a girl to apologize to a boy first, of course, it might be a little awkward.
After a while, Jiayi regained her composure, "Let’s eat something first, Zaizai."
With his cheeks puffed out, Zaizai pinched his little face, looking pitiful, "Mommy, I miss Daddy, and I can’t eat, look how skinny I’ve gotten."
Jiayi glanced at her son, "You don’t seem to have slimmed down noticeably," she said.
Auntie Li took the opportunity to chime in, persuading alongside the young master, "Young Madam, it’s been almost a week, please let the young master come back."
"Mommy, the kindergarten’s Parent-Child Day is coming up soon. Both Daddy and Mommy are supposed to attend. If Daddy doesn’t come home, it will be just like before, only Mommy to accompany me," Zaizai continued to plead.
Finally, Jiayi said nothing, after a while she put down her chopsticks and said calmly, "Auntie Li, call him."
Auntie Li was overjoyed, "Okay—" but seeing Jiayi continue to eat slowly without any intention of getting up, she hesitated, "Young Madam, my words are useless, the young master won’t listen to me, I’m afraid you still need to personally ask him."
"It’s no use for me to ask him either. Didn’t I call him twice the other day? He couldn’t even be bothered to answer," Jiayi commented as she placed a chopstick full of vegetables into her son’s bowl.
Auntie Li was puzzled, "Then why did Young Madam ask me to call the young master—"
"Tell him that I’m taking Zaizai back to my mother’s house, it’s just to inform him. If he doesn’t answer, just leave a message on the voicemail or ask whoever answers the phone to pass on the message."
Auntie Li was taken aback, "Young Madam—"
"Go ahead," Jiayi’s voice was not loud, but it was resolute.
Auntie Li had no choice but to do as instructed.
Jiayi watched Zaizai finish his meal, wiped his mouth for him, and took her son’s hand to go upstairs.
Auntie Li watched her back and hurriedly called out, "Young Madam—"
Jiayi turned her face slightly, interrupting, "Oh right, Auntie Li, tell the driver to bring the car out of the garage and wait outside. I’ll come downstairs after I pack some clothes."
Back in the room, Zaizai saw Mommy open the drawer and slowly start packing clothes into the luggage bag, he asked worriedly, "Mommy, you’re not really going to Grandma’s, are you?"
Her eyelids twitched, and her crystal-clear pupils moved around, "It depends on the situation."
Zaizai suddenly understood Mommy’s intention. Without doing this, how could Daddy come back!
Ten minutes later.
Auntie Li saw Jiayi coming downstairs with a small luggage bag, holding Zaizai’s hand, and hurriedly went to meet her, "Young Madam, don’t be impulsive, why go back to your mother’s house all of a sudden..."
Jiayi glanced outside the door and saw no car waiting, she knew Auntie Li hadn’t spoken to the driver.
She held Zaizai’s hand, as if not hearing Auntie Li’s words, "We’ll take a taxi." With that, she stepped out the door.
Auntie Li was caught in a dilemma, not sure whether to follow or not, and ended up anxiously trailing behind her.
They reached the gate of the villa, where a majestic and stern carved iron gate blocked their way.
Two servants of the Huo Mansion saw Auntie Li’s glance and dared not let them pass, "Young Madam—"
"Open the gate."
"Young Madam, please don’t be rash—"
"I said, open the gate!" Jiayi raised her voice slightly; it wasn’t loud, but it already showed the authority of the Huo Family’s young madam.
"But if the young master finds out you’re taking the young master away, we will—"
Jiayi smiled coldly, "So what you’re saying is you only see the young master as the master, and don’t take me and the little master seriously, is that it?"
The piercing gaze of the small woman, clear as ice springs, caused the two servants to break out in a cold sweat, and they dared not say anything more.
"I’ll say it one more time, open the gate." Jiayi reiterated.
