"When my son gets better, you and I will immediately have nothing to do with each other! And don't you think about ever seeing my son again!"
With that said, Han Zhifan didn't stay a moment longer. He turned around, pulled open the door behind him, and walked out of the hospital room.
-
The next day, Han Zhifan had a meeting in the afternoon, so he didn't go to the hospital.
Dr. Luo helped handle Cheng Han's discharge.
Han Zhifan simply couldn't walk away from work, so he ordered his driver to pick up Cheng Han from the hospital.
Han Zhifan was busy with work all the way up until ten in the evening, which was when he finally asked his driver to drive him back home.
The housekeeper heard the sound of the car approaching and emerged from the house.
Han Zhifan got out of the car and handed the housekeeper the laptop in his hands. He bent over and removed his shoes.
"Mr. Han, have you had dinner?"
"Yes." Han Zhifan simply left with one word and headed upstairs.
He first went to the baby's room. Cheng Han was already asleep and Cheng Weiwan wasn't in the apartment.
He gently shut the door then went into the bedroom. Cheng Weiwan wasn't there either, so he changed into his loungewear and walked out.
He circled the second floor and didn't catch Cheng Weiwan, so he headed downstairs.
The housekeeper was carrying a cup of tea as she emerged from the dining room.
"Mr. Han, your tea."
Han Zhifan didn't say anything but he signaled her to put it on the coffee table in front of the sofa with a nod.
After the housekeeper put the tea down, Han Zhifan casually strolled over to the sofa and sat down.
The television was on, so he grabbed the remote and flipped through the channels a few times. After he stopped on the finance channel, he turned his head and glanced at the housekeeper standing beside him. "Where's she? Didn't she come back with you?"
The housekeeper was stunned for a moment as she didn't immediately catch on. Then she realized Han Zhifan was asking about Cheng Weiwan and she replied, "Miss Cheng went back home after the young master fell asleep."
Went back home?
Han Zhifan furrowed his brows.
"Miss Cheng said she has to go back home to grab some things and will come back later."
After hearing the second half of the sentence, Han Zhifan's brows relaxed. He didn't reply to the housekeeper and concentrated on watching the television screen as though he had just asked casually with no care for the answer.
Perhaps it was because the housekeeper had spent all day in the hospital and hadn't had much rest that she yawned at half-past eleven.
Cheng Weiwan hadn't returned yet and Han Zhifan had no intention of going upstairs to sleep, so all the housekeeper could do was ignore her desire to sleep.
Just as she felt tempted to sleep standing up, the sound of a car approaching finally came from outside.
The housekeeper glanced out the window and confirmed that a car had stopped outside the villa. "Miss Cheng's here..." she cried as she immediately woke up.
With that said, as the housekeeper ran out the door.
Han Zhifan didn't move an inch from the sofa and continued to watch the television.
Han Zhifan didn't turn his head and stare out the tall windows until he heard the sound of a familiar voice from the car parked outside the front door.
The man who Cheng Weiwan called "Yinan Ge" had dropped her off.
Han Zhifan's fingers couldn't help but grip the remote harder.
"Miss Cheng, is this all you have?" The door was open and the housekeeper's voice was loud enough to travel into the house.
Cheng Weiwan didn't say anything, so she must've nodded at the housekeeper. "I'll help you carry your stuff inside," said the housekeeper.
With that said, the sound of the housekeeper's footsteps drew closer to the entrance.
Because Cheng Weiwan hadn't entered yet, the housekeeper didn't close the door. When she reached the entrance, she asked Han Zhifan on the sofa, "Mr. Han, where will Miss Cheng be staying?"
