Want to help him?
Tang Youyou and Lu Xuanchen chatted about some of their childhood affairs. The topics they chatted about as if they were friends didn"t seem out of place. Yang Chuchu occasionally interjected from the side and sized them up with a pair of bright, big eyes.
At first, she was worried that Lu Xuanchen might have something wrong with his words and actions when he saw Tang Youyou, but now, it seemed that her worries were u
ecessary. Although they had a lot of topics to talk about, they just chatted about nothing.
After di
er, Tang Youyou got up and left.
Lu Xuanchen watched her leave with reluctance. Although he still wanted to say a few more words, he restrained himself in the end. He only returned to his seat after Tang Youyou"s figure had disappeared.
Yang Chuchu"s heart skipped a beat when she saw him drink all the wine in his cup in one gulp, despite not having drunk a single drop earlier.
It seemed that the calm on the surface did not mean that Lu Xuanchen was calm on the inside.
"Yang Chuchu, thank you for today!" "Let"s go first!" Lu Xuanchen looked at her gratefully, then turned around and left.
Yang Chuchu was startled for a few seconds. She shrugged. "What did I do?"
Tang Youyou breathed out softly as she sat in the car. Thinking about her conversation with Lu Xuanchen earlier, she couldn"t help but smile.
Lu Xuanchen was a very persistent person and was very determined. This was something she knew from the begi
ing. She just didn"t expect him to actually want to fulfill what he said when he was young.
He was really stubborn and a little cute. He really hoped that he would meet a woman who appreciated and understood him. A person like him who carried a heavy burden in his heart, the woman who loved him, would definitely be someone who understood him.
A text suddenly appeared on her phone. Tang Youyou took out her phone and took a look. Her heart skipped a beat.
It was sent by Ji Xiaohan, and it was a photo taken when Lu Xuanchen and Yang Chuchu walked over side by side and pushed the door open.
Tang Youyou smiled helplessly. She knew that she couldn"t hide what happened tonight from Ji Xiaohan.
She didn"t blame those bodyguards and bosses for letting Ji Xiaohan know, they had done their best.
Tang Youyou quickly replied, "I"ll explain it to you when I get home, okay?"
"Alright!" The man replied with a single word in a very forgiving ma
er.
When he arrived home, it was around nine in the evening. The two little guys were still ru
ing around the living room. After having a bath and wearing cute pajamas, they were so cute that people wanted to kiss them.
Ji Xiaonai was holding a small bear in her small hands. She was wearing a milky-white pajamas with her long black hair flowing down. Under her bangs, her eyes were sparkling like gems. She looked extremely beautiful, as if she had thrown herself into a whole star.
"Mommy, I"m playing hide-and-seek with my brother. Do you know where he is?" The little guy hugged a little bear. His big eyes stared at that direction as he asked Tang Youyou, who had just come back, in confusion.
Tang Youyou shook her head. "I don"t know. Go and look for it yourself!"
Ji Xiaonai had no choice but to give up hope for her. She continued to search while shouting, "Big brother, where are you? Where have you been hiding? "
"Youyou, you"re back. Have you eaten di
er?" Lan Yue asked as she walked down the stairs.
"I"ve eaten, Mom. Are these two little guys very noisy? It must be tiring for you to take them! " Tang Youyou said, embarra.s.sed.
"No, they"re very fu
y!" Lan Yue didn"t feel tired at all. On the contrary, she was extremely happy.
Tang Youyou couldn"t understand the happiness that her grandmother and grandchildren shared with her, so she was worried that Lan Yue didn"t have enough energy and would tire her.
"You"ve worked all day, go upstairs and rest. I"ll take the children to bed too!" Lan Yue treated Tang Youyou like her own daughter and cared about her a lot.
Tang Youyou nodded, her eyes warm up slightly. She could also feel Lan Yue"s concern for her. The love she felt from the bottom of her heart had made up for the motherly love she had lost. She felt that living in this house was a very blissful thing.
Around 10 AM, Tang Youyou took a shower and sat on the sofa. She held her laptop and was thinking about her work.
The door burst open, and the tall figure of a man stepped inside.
As soon as he entered, he unb.u.t.toned his suit jacket, took it off, and walked gracefully and charmingly toward the woman on the sofa.
"How does it feel to carry me to see an old lady?" The man walked over and supported her from behind with a condescending hand, trapping her in his embrace as he interrogated her with a hint of displeasure in his voice.
"Can you not be angry first? What old sweetheart? We are friends! " Tang Youyou laughed helplessly.
"Friend? Adults have no friends of the opposite s.e.x, don"t you understand? " Ji Xiaohan really wanted to punish her, to still dare to explain their relations.h.i.+p as friends at a time like this.
Tang Youyou sighed and said calmly, "I know, I know he has never let me go. It is because of this that I feel so bad. Don"t misunderstand, I have no other intentions. I just feel that I still owe him."
"What do you owe him?" Ji Xiaohan narrowed his eyes and said in a more dangerous tone, "You owe him a debt of love? Are you paying me back? "
"No, why should I return it? If I marry you now, my heart will only be with you, and I won"t be able to repay him! " Tang Youyou caressed the man"s handsome face, her tone downcast.
"Are you playing a game of fraternity?" Ji Xiaohan still didn"t hear the answer he wanted and was slightly a
oyed.
"Of course not, Lu Xuanchen is actually a very pitiful person. Because of his family, he has always been unhappy, and I can be considered as a good friend that he has had fun since he was young. Our relations.h.i.+p is not love, but a bit like family, I want to help him." Tang Youyou lightly looked into the eyes of the man. She wanted to tell him her thoughts, and also wanted to obtain his forgiveness.
"How do you want to help him? If you continue to interact with him, not only will you be unable to help him, you might even cause him to sink even deeper into the abyss! " Ji Xiaohan seemed to understand what she meant. This fool, even though she might not be able to handle her own feelings, she still had to help others.
I can see that he only has a knot in his heart that hasn"t been opened yet. If I don"t get in touch with him, he might continue to indulge in our past, but now, he knows that I"m married to you, and I want him to come into contact with the me of today, the me who"s married to someone else, and not the me who"s in his heart. Although I don"t know what"s the point of doing this, I still want to help him, to stop him from indulging in the past and bring him back to reality. Tang Youyou said softly.
