Chapter 309: Chapter 309: Daddy, I Want Mommy

Zhou Lin had taken all the responsibility on himself, making Lin Yu feel that their inability to be together was not because Cheng Zhiwei was unwilling, but because of his irresponsibility.

Zhou Lin gripped her chin, looking at the lingering blush on her face, "Didn’t you want to completely sever ties with me? Then let it be thorough."

Lin Yu and Zhou Chenyuan hoped Cheng Zhiwei and Zhou Lin could reconcile, and that Cheng Yang and Cheng Xing would return to the Zhou Family, but Cheng Zhiwei was unwilling to agree.

Over time, Lin Yu and Zhou Chenyuan would definitely grow dissatisfied with Cheng Zhiwei, and might even resort to some measures.

This was why Zhou Lin acted this way, cutting off their thoughts in this regard.

After all, it was he who was unwilling to lower his head.

It was his fault.

"Continue." Zhou Lin pulled Cheng Zhiwei back into his arms, grinding his teeth as he spoke lowly, "Today, even if the sky falls, you won’t be able to leave."

Just as Cheng Zhiwei’s slight bout of emotions arose, it was swiftly washed away. She struggled, "Your mom is still outside."

"She won’t come in."

"But..."

"Cheng Zhiwei, stop thinking about it. My mom doesn’t have the hobby of watching people in bed. Even if she wants to catch a seductress, she won’t come in now."

He emphasized the word "seductress" heavily.

Indeed, Lin Yu didn’t have the hobby of watching, but her initial reason for coming here wasn’t to catch a seductress.

She truly needed to find Zhou Lin, and when she couldn’t reach him by phone, she asked Secretary Zhang and came over.

Thus, before Zhou Lin got his way, the door was knocked on again with "bang bang bang" sounds.

Fast and urgent.

Zhou Lin paused, his expression visibly turning solemn.

Instead, Cheng Zhiwei relaxed, casting a glance at the sweat on his forehead and the anger in his eyes, somewhat provocatively, she said, "Your mom is still outside."

Zhou Lin caught sight of Cheng Zhiwei’s secretly relieved expression, held her waist, and bent down to kiss her lip corner, "Don’t worry, she can’t come in."

Lin Yu wouldn’t just barge in so bluntly, especially since he had locked the door.

Cheng Zhiwei looked towards the direction of the door, gripping her fingers tight. She earnestly hoped Lin Yu would break down the door. At this point, it seemed being found wasn’t such a bad thing.

Reestablishing composure once broken was indeed too difficult.

Perhaps the heavens heard her plea.

Not long after the knocking stopped, a crisp voice called from outside, "Daddy."

It was Zhou Ruoki’s voice, tinged with sobs.

Cheng Zhiwei’s expression changed, "The child is outside."

Zhou Lin could only get up to open the door. Outside, Lin Yu stood with a grim face, beside her stood Zhou Ruoki, his tender little face streaked with tears, pitifully looking up at Zhou Lin, "Daddy."

Lin Yu gave him a cold glance, saying irritably, "Qiqi insisted on finding you."

Zhou Lin touched Zhou Ruoki’s hair, his tone soft, "Hmm, what’s wrong, Qiqi?"

"Mommy, I want Mommy." Zhou Ruoki cried sorrowfully, tears streaming down abundantly.

Zhou Lin frowned, aware that Seo Zhenzhen was still detained at the police station, a fact known by only a few people.

He patiently said, "Mommy went to work. You go back with grandma first, Mommy will be back in a few days."

Zhou Ruoki was always obedient, but this time he quickly shook his head, crying even harder, "I don’t want to, Daddy, please save Mommy."

Zhou Lin’s ordinarily perfunctory expression grew heavy as he looked at Zhou Ruoki, his eyes narrowing, "What happened to Mommy?"

Lin Yu also frowned in surprise, "Qiqi, what are you talking about, what happened to Mommy?"

"Mommy was taken away by bad people." Zhou Ruoki held up his phone watch, his face wet with tears, sobbing, "I can’t contact her."

"What bad guy?" Lin Yu asked.

"Who told you?" Zhou Lin asked sternly.

Lin Yu didn’t know, but Zhou Ruoki did.

Although Zhou Ruoki said she was kidnapped by bad guys, he knew that the so-called "bad guy" was the police.

Zhou Ruoki shrank her shoulders and hid beside Lin Yu, "Daddy, I’m scared."

"Mom, take Qiqi downstairs. I’ll come up after I change my clothes," Zhou Lin said as he entered the room.

Meeting Cheng Zhiwei’s inquiring gaze, he whispered, "Are you going to sleep in the room, or come down with me?"

He asked her opinion to avoid her feeling like he was hiding her as a lover, someone seen by no one else.

"I’m not going down," said Cheng Zhiwei, wrapping herself tightly in the blanket, lazily combing her long hair. If Lin Yu saw her go down, he might think she and Zhou Lin still had a chance, creating who knows what problems.

"Alright, then take a nap," Zhou Lin said nonchalantly as he changed into home clothes in front of her.

"Zhou Lin, I agreed to just tonight, whether it works out or not, you have to keep the promise," Cheng Zhiwei suddenly reminded him.

Zhou Lin’s back stiffened, his tone indifferent, "I know."

She really was very particular.

The door closed.

Cheng Zhiwei stared at the ceiling, unable to help but let out a long sigh. She had already promised Zhou Lin that she wouldn’t run away, but she would minimize their time alone together as much as possible.

Downstairs.

Zhou Ruoki obediently sat on the sofa, holding a phone in her hands, her eyes still teary. Seeing Zhou Lin come down, she began to tear up, "Daddy, when will you save Mommy?"

Zhou Lin sat next to her, gently asking, "First tell Daddy, who told you Mommy was in trouble?"

"It was Auntie Zhang."

It was a servant of the Zhou family.

Zhou Lin went to the balcony and asked Secretary Zhang to investigate.

Turning back to the living room, Zhou Ruoki still looked timidly at him, her lower lip trembling, about to cry, "I want Mommy."

"Qiqi, be good, Daddy will figure something out," Lin Yu said, still unaware of what exactly had happened but knowing it must be related to Seo Zhenzhen.

Zhou Ruoki sobbed softly.

A few minutes later, Lin Yu received a call from the hospital and had to leave.

Considering whether to send Zhou Ruoki back first, she suddenly thought of someone upstairs and suddenly felt conflicted.

She stood up and said quickly, "The doctor said there’s a problem with your dad’s side; I must go there. Qiqi will stay with you for now."

Without waiting for Zhou Lin’s approval, she quickly left.

Suddenly, only Zhou Lin and Zhou Ruoki were left in the living room.

Zhou Ruoki’s crying softened a lot but continued intermittently, her little face tear-stained and red as a wounded cub.

Zhou Lin poured a glass of water for her, "Stop crying."

Zhou Ruoki hiccupped, her voice even softer.

Zhou Lin rubbed his temples, feeling irritated, when Secretary Zhang’s call came, "The person has escaped."

Zhou Lin’s expression turned cold, "Find them immediately, and screen everyone in the house from top to bottom."

"Yes."

After hanging up, Zhou Lin looked at Zhou Ruoki on the sofa. Someone intentionally revealed the news of Seo Zhenzhen’s arrest to Zhou Ruoki.

Why, to rescue Seo Zhenzhen?
