From that day on, Yan Hua hasn"t seen Lang Ruoxian for a month.
She deliberately goes downstairs very late during the day. Breakfasts are sent upstairs by the house maids. She returns to her room early in the evening. What Lang Ruoxian said that night not only exposed him, but also exposed herself.
"Gungun, for your sake, mom can never make a mistake..." Yan Hua looks at her sleeping son and feels more and more anxious.
She is not a fool, and she knows what Lang Ruoxian means. But so what? She has seen a lot of men"s obsessive gaze... Not to mention her relationship with Lang Ruoxian. They should never have any intersections.
Otherwise, it will not only destroy the two people, but also her son, whom she regards as her life.
"How annoying!" Yan Hua walks to the terrace. The January night wind is as cold as ice, blowing on her face and dispelling her anxiety.
Suddenly a car comes in from the gate. A black Maybach pa.s.ses through the garden and quietly parks downstairs. Yan Hua hurriedly hides behind the pillar, then she can"t help being angry with herself. Why would she hide?
"Young Master, shall we still pick you up at 8 o"clock tomorrow morning?" Xiaokai asks when pulling open the door.
Lang Ruoxian nods. Xiaokai frowns and complains, "Young Master, you have been busy for a month. We have a holiday tomorrow, so why will you go to the company so early?"
"Do you have an opinion?" Lang Ruoxian"s voice clearly reaches Yan Hua"s ears. It is too long since she heard the man"s voice last time. She even has a momentary trance.
Yan Hua doesn"t know when there is no one downstairs. She rubs her arms and goes back to her room. The night lights are very dim. She knocks on her head to prevent herself from being lost in various fancies and conjectures, but suddenly she finds that there seems to be someone at the door.
"Who is there?" Yan Hua holds the door handle and there is no movement outside.
Just when she thinks that it is her illusion, there is a low voice.
"It"s me..."
Yan Hua"s heart beats faster. She props her body against the door, and then feels herself a little funny. She takes a deep breath and opens the door. Lang Ruoxian is standing in the corridor. He is covered in a yellow warm glow by the corridor lights.
"Still awake?" The man raises his eyebrows. On such a night and in such a corridor, there is an intoxicating feeling wrapping around Yan Hua"s heart.
"What"s the matter?" Asks her, with external coldness.
"Next week will be New Year"s Eve. The company will not be too busy. Do you want to go shopping?" Lang Ruoxian interrupts what she wants to say, "Servants will do Spring Festival shopping. If you and Gungun don"t want to go out to buy new clothes, I"ll ask someone to send here."
Yan Hua hesitates. When she first came to Lang"s house, Lang Li probably wanted to show welcome to her, so he asked to deliver all the new seasonal products of those famous brands and put them in her cloakroom, whether she liked or not.
Then Gungun was born, and Lang Li did the same thing again...
"I"ll make an appointment with Fei Ying." Yan Hua says after thinking for a moment, "We haven"t seen each other for quite a long time."
Lang Ruoxian looks deeply into her eyes and says, "OK."
"It"s okay. I shall go to bed." The atmosphere is very awkward. Yan Hua breaks the silence.
Lang Ruoxian suddenly puts his hand on the doorframe and gets close to her. "Do you misunderstand something?"
"..." Yan Hua looks blankly at him.
"Because of what I said that night, you have been avoiding me, huh?"
His voice makes Yan Hua"s heart quiver. She turns and wants to run but her arm is grabbed by Lang Ruoxian.
"You let me go!"
"You are a beautiful woman. I am a normal man. There is nothing wrong with me being attracted to you." Lang Ruoxian says coldly, "It"s just an attraction. Or do you think I really love you?"
Yan Hua turns her back on the man and hears him continuing saying. "I don"t need you to remind me of the previous relationship between you and me. I will not give up the right to inherit and give up Lang Consortium because I"m infatuated with a woman."
So...
"You don"t have to be so serious."
After a moment of silence, Lang Ruoxian lets go of Yan Hua, his hands hanging on both sides of his body tightly clench.
"Who says I am serious?" Yan Hua finally turns around.
Under the light, her face is like in the fog.
"I misunderstand you. I am afraid that you are crazy and do something to me. But do you think that I am scared?" Yan Hua smiles.
"I hide from you because I am afraid of trouble. I just want to bring up Gungun and be the Second Young Mistress of Lang Family. If I really want to choose a man, I will aboveboard choose one outside. It"s not worthwhile..."
Yan Hua"s eyes become cold. "It"s not worthwhile being with you."
"Very good." Lang Ruoxian slowly withdraws. At the moment of his body is hidden in the shadow, Yan Hua thinks that her eyes deceive her.
Pain and struggle unexpectedly flash on the man"s face...
"Ah!" She closes the door, walks slowly into the bathroom and looks up at herself in the mirror.
Only to find that she has cried.
"Aren"t you stupid..." Yan Hua sniffs, "What are you crying for? What qualifications do you have to cry?"
She washes her face and goes back to her room. Her mobile phone flashes. It is a WeChat message coming in.
"Hua, let"s go shopping tomorrow! I want to buy some new clothes for Xiaojiu."
What a coincidence! Yan Hua immediately replies, "Yes, what time is it?"
About 10 o"clock the next day, Yan Hua is ready to go out and finds Lang Ruoxian sitting in the living room.
"Mommy!" Yan Hua wants to turn a blind eye to him, but Gungun has already stretched out his chubby arms and begins to babble.
Gungun haven"t seen Lang Ruoxian for a month, but this child still remembers him? Yan Hua curls her lips and has to stop to say h.e.l.lo.
"Don"t you go to the company today?"
Lang Ruoxian reaches out to Gungun and holds him over. "Gungun, you are heavier."
"Mommy! Mommy!" Gungun does not know that he is complained, he still claps his little chubby hands and smiles at Lang Ruoxian, exposing his millet teeth.
Yan Hua wants to hold him back, but Gungun keeps putting his arms around Lang Ruoxian"s neck and squeezes into Lang Ruoxian"s arms.
"Let"s go, I"ll drive you." Lang Ruoxian walks out with Gungun in his arms.
Yan Hua hurriedly follows and says, "Thanks, no. There is a driver, I..."
"It"s on my way." Lang Ruoxian opens the car door and squints at her. "Why, you dare not?"
Yan Hua squints back and gets in the car.
She will meet Fei Ying at Lang Consortium"s shopping mall. Lang Ruoxian sends her there directly without asking her destination. Yan Hua is a little curious. How does he know her itinerary?
But she would never ask. She holds Gungun and gets out of the car.
"Thank you." Yan Hua says with politeness.
"You"re welcome." Lang Ruoxian moves Gungun"s baby stroller down, then gets in the car again and starts the car. Yan Hua looks back when she enters the mall gate. The car has already turned off.
"Mommy?" Gungun finds that Lang Ruoxian doesn"t get off, and asks Yan Hua blankly.
Entering the shopping mall, warm wind blows on the faces. Yan Hua takes off their coats and puts Gungun in the baby stroller.
"Mommy?" However, Gungun seems to take Lang Ruoxian"s absence to heart and still asks her.
Yan Hua has to tell him, "Uncle has gone to work, let"s go to play with your elder sister and Auntie!"
The two women are about to meet in the café on the first floor. When Yan Hua arrives, Fei Ying is already there.
"Hua!" Fei Ying beckons to her.
Gungun eyes are suddenly widened. "Mommy! Mommy!"
"Brother! Brother!" Xiaojiu sees them and excitedly wriggles on the children"s chair which she is sitting.
Gungun keeps calling "Mommy! Mommy!" Fei Ying can"t help laughing.
"Can"t you recognize people?" She takes Gungun out of the baby stroller and puts him on the children"s chair. "I"m Auntie. Come on, Gungun. Call me Auntie! "
"Mommy!" Gungun calls her, exposing his millet teeth.
Xiaojiu leans toward him and calls, "Brother! Brother! "
"Mommy! Mommy!" Gungun also leans toward her.
Fei Ying begins to laugh again. Yan Hua sits down and sighs, "Should I take him to see a doctor? He hasn"t recognized people yet."
"What are you talking about?" Fei Ying pours a cup of fruit tea for her. "This is a normal phenomenon. Please wait until he is more than one year old next year."
The two babies sit next to each other, hand in hand, cutely smiling. Fei Ying cuts the cake and puts the pieces into the bowls of the two babies. Xiaojiu is able to eat food by herself.
She holds the spoon to feed Gungun. Gungun also wants to feed his elder sister, but he can"t hold the spoon firmly and almost pokes into his nostrils.
"Are you all right recently?" Fei Ying leaves alone the two babies. "It"s all over now. Don"t always woolgather."
Yan Hua smiles, "I really couldn"t get through at first and felt guilty. It"s all right now. There are so many things in life that you can"t take everything on yourself."
The explosion has long been checked out. Although Cui Bo did not break the law, she was just like a mouse running across the street, for wherever she went the vituperation followed. They heard that she went to her hometown in the north.
"Liu Quan was sentenced to death, and he deserves it." Fei Ying wipes Gungun"s face.
Gungun"s face is covered with the cake.
"But now you are a celebrity." Fei Ying laughs to what she thinks. "You have been one of the trending topics for several times successively. It is a pity that you don"t have an account on micro blog."
She bends down and takes out a big box from the underground bag. "Here you are, a New Year present!"
"Lipsticks?" Yan Hua takes a look at the logo above. It is a famous brand and many stars like to use it. "But... this is a complete set!"
She doesn"t even have to open it. A few days ago, this brand just released the New Year gift box containing the cla.s.sic products of ten years, of total 29.
"Do you buy it?" Yan Hua likes it very much.
She likes many luxuries, including diamonds, beautiful fashions and handbags. But because of the current situation, she has not bought any. Except those sent by Lang Family, she has never bought any herself.
"You know it"s hard to buy this box, right?" Fei Ying lowers his voice. "It"s Fei Shan. He will be the spokesman for this brand in Asia next year, but it hasn"t been announced yet."
"So this is sent by the brand?"
"Of course!" Fei Ying leans back on her chair. "He just came back from abroad yesterday. He said that an extra box was sent by the brand and let me give it to you, as an apology gift for the trouble he caused you last time."
Yan Hua put the box down. "How long has this been going on, and you still mention it!"
"Don"t be too polite. If you don"t want it, I won"t have anyone else to give it to. If I keep it, I can"t use it up." Fei Ying looks at her watch. "Where are your bodyguards? Let them take the things first and let"s go shopping."
Let the bodyguards take the extra things away. The two women push the baby carriages to the floor of kids" zone. For the first time, Gungun sees so many toys. With eyes wide open, he keeps crying "Wow! Wow! Wow!" Xiaojiu is rather calm and keeps the princess"s style, like a doll.
"Oh, where did you buy your daughter"s hairpin?" Suddenly a woman rushes out, stretching out her hand to touch Xiaojiu"s head.
