After her mother died, her father married Wan Fangfang and gave birth to Ruan Jiani.

He formed a new happy home.

A brand new home.

And Ruan Zhi was completely excluded......

Ruan Zhi felt that she was too sad and sad, this was how many years ago, and she really didn't need to be emotional.

She has long since lost her home, and there is no so-called family.

In this world, except for Ruan Meng, no one is worthy of her anymore.

There's nothing wrong with that.

A heart is full of people, and she is content.

She never wanted her daughter to see her depressed and sad side, so she lowered her eyes and quickly adjusted her emotions.

But at this moment, a slender and good-looking hand came into view.

Then the hand gently covered her arm, and then, the palm of the palm wrapped the entire back of her hand.

The familiar softness came, Ruan Zhi's eyelashes twitched slightly, and he subconsciously looked up at Xu Huaishen, but his eyes were full of all kinds of caution and guardedness.

"Nothing else. Xu Huaishen's expression was natural, "I think you were too miserable before." ”

Ruan Zhi: "......"

So, did you think she was too miserable to hold her hand?

Are you sympathizing with her, pity her?

......

The aquarium was so big that they had only been halfway through the morning after a morning of shopping.

Ruan Meng got her wish to see the sea whales, and Xu Huaishen took her to meet many strange sea creatures.

Passing by a special photo studio, Xu Huaishen stopped with Ruan Meng in his arms.

The photos are similar to Polaroid stickers, which can be washed out immediately after taking a photo, and the photo paper is printed with various animal badges of the aquarium.

The staff who stood at the door dressed as a clown blew up the balloon, twisted it into the shape of a puppy, and gave it to Ruan Meng.

"Sir, ma'am, bring the baby in and take a picture, it's very memorable. ”

Before Ruan Zhi could speak, Xu Huaishen had already raised his feet and walked in first.

Ruan Zhi had no choice but to follow.

The photo studio is not large, but it is very warmly furnished, with the walls painted blue and painted with corals and fish. There are also some items for sale on the shelves next to it, and there is a square camera at the very end, which is more than a person tall.

Xu Huaishen entered the door and walked straight towards the camera.

The staff next to him immediately explained to him how to use it.

Ruan Zhi was next to him, looking at all kinds of fresh gadgets on the shelves.

"Ruan Zhi?"

Suddenly, I heard Xu Huaishen calling her.

"Huh?" Ruan Zhi subconsciously turned around.

"Come here. ”

Ruan Zhi raised his foot and took two steps forward, "What's wrong?"

As soon as she stood this way, she was in the mirror.

"Look ahead. Xu Huaishen gestured.

The moment Ruan Zhi looked up at the front of him, the camera pressed the OK button and took a picture of the three of them in the same frame.

Ruan Zhi's reaction was half a beat slower, "Is this a photo?"

"Well, that's right. ”

As soon as Xu Huaishen's words were finished, the staff came over from behind and handed over a photo, "Madam, this is a photo of your family of three." ”

A family of three......

Ruan Zhi's heart trembled.

I wanted to explain, but Xu Huaishen had already reached out to take the photo, glanced at it, and said, "Thank you, the photo is very good." ”

The staff smiled: "You and your wife are very affectionate at first sight, and the children are also very cute, you are so happy." ”

"yes. Xu Huaishen was noncommittal, turned his head, and his gaze fell on Ruan Zhi's face.

As if to ask her, are you happy?

Ruan Zhi: "......"

Children's energy is always limited, especially when Ruan Meng is so young.

Soon, the little guy fell asleep on Xu Huaishen's shoulder tiredly.

Without Ruan Meng, it seems that there is no need to continue shopping in the future.

The atmosphere between her and Xu Huaishen also became a little strange.

Because the two men always walked side by side, but neither of them spoke.

The lively scene next to it doesn't seem to have anything to do with them.

But the two of them are so harmoniously leaning together.

Ruan Zhi thought in a mess, and walked aimlessly behind Xu Huaishen.

Before I knew it, I walked out of the oceanarium.

Arrived at the parking lot.

There is no need to continue shopping.

She wasn't the only one who thought so.

Ruan Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, and when he turned around, he saw Xu Huaishen standing by the car, looking at her quietly.

Because he was still holding Ruan Meng in his hands, his body was slightly tilted back, in order to make the little guy lie more comfortable, his whole posture looked very uncomfortable.

Holding a child looks very easy, but it's not at all.

Ruan Meng has been hugged by Ruan Zhi since she was a child, so her back hurts from time to time.

So far, the root of the disease has fallen.

So seeing Xu Huaishen like this, Ruan Zhi can understand it very well.

She hurriedly walked over and stretched out her hand to hug Ruan Meng, "Give it to me." ”

Xu Huaishen turned to the side slightly, and let the car door go, "Help me open the car door." ”

Only then did Ruan Zhi understand why he looked at himself so much just now.

It turned out to be asking her to help open the door.

"Oh. Ruan Zhi was very cooperative.

In fact, she didn't even realize that when she was with Xu Huaishen, she was mostly unassertive.

A lot of the time, it's what he says and what she does.

Ruan Zhi had already reached out and opened the car door.

Xu Huaishen bent down and sat in with Ruan Meng in his arms.

"Please close the door, thank you. Xu Huaishen sat in the car and said to her with a slight tilt of his head.

Ruan Zhi looked at the empty driver's seat, a little confused, "You...... Don't you drive?"

Xu Huaishen held Ruan Meng in one hand and let the little guy lean on his arms and sleep comfortably.

The other hand was raised, pinched the center of his eyebrows, and said in a slightly tired voice: "I'm a little tired, can you open it?"

It's a completely consultative tone.,There's no sense of compulsion at all.。

Without waiting for Ruan Zhi to speak, Xu Huaishen added: "If you can't drive, I'll call you a substitute driver." ”

"No need. Ruan Zhi said, "I'll open it." ”

"Hmm. Xu Huaishen put down his phone and leaned in the back seat.

Ruan Zhi bypassed the body and sat in the driver's seat.

Xu Huaishen's car is still the same car from three years ago.

The interior of the car is still the same as three years ago, simple and clean, without any superfluous decorations.

Like his man, he is decisive and capable.

Ruan Zhi started the car, held the steering wheel with both hands, and slowly drove the car out of the parking lot.

She hadn't touched a car for three years, and her driving skills were a little rusty, and she drove carefully.

When she got on the right road, she breathed a sigh of relief, and she relaxed a little.

At this time, she realized that the car was too quiet.

From the moment she drove, Xu Huaishen seemed to be asleep.

Out of curiosity, Ruan Zhi looked up at the rearview mirror in the car.

But all of a sudden, he crashed into someone's deep eyes......

“......”

The embarrassment of the four eyes made Ruan Zhi fall into embarrassment.

Xu Huaishen's eyes were straight and undisguised, even when she looked up, he didn't avoid it, and accepted her gaze generously.

And Ruan Zhi looked at him for two seconds, and then looked away in a little panic.

Even if she didn't look at him again, she could still feel that burning gaze, which obviously fell on her.

For a while, Ruan Zhi was a little like sitting on pins and needles.

I always feel that I am at a loss.

After all, it was she who "peeked" and was "caught" just now.

The car drove forward for a while, and before getting on the elevated road, Ruan Zhi deliberately glanced up.

It seems to be unintentional, but in fact it is intentional.

Again, he collided with Xu Huaishen's gaze.

He leaned back in the back seat of the car, his expression still faint, and his eyes were still the same as they had been a few minutes ago.

It was as if he had never moved away, always looking at her face through the rearview mirror.

Ruan Zhi bit his lip and spoke first to break the silence, "You didn't sleep?"

In the middle of the night, a man's words came slowly from the back seat, "Hmm." ”

There is only one syllable, which shows his indifference and unwillingness to speak.

Ruan Zhi pursed his lips and didn't speak again.

A few minutes passed.

Ruan Zhi drove the car intently, she knew that Xu Huaishen was still looking at her, but she never looked up to look at him.

However, the more he thought about ignoring him and ignoring him, the stronger his sense of existence became.

It was so strong that it seemed to be emitted in the air in the car, and without taking a breath, I felt that it was full of his smell.

Ruan Zhi clenched the steering wheel and felt that he was really crazy.

Just when her nerves were tense, a man's voice came from the back seat again.

He called her lightly, "Ruan Zhi." ”

Ruan Zhi suddenly came back to his senses, subconsciously raised his eyes, quickly glanced at the man's face in the rearview mirror, and after briefly looking at him, he quickly looked away, and responded calmly, "Huh?"

"Three years ago, why did you give birth to Ruan Meng?"

This problem again!

Ruan Zhi's nerves tensed again.

"Because she is a life, she has the right to live. Ruan Zhi replied.

Xu Huaishen sighed and said, "She also has the right to be happy, have you given her happiness?"

“......”

"She also has the right to enjoy her father's love, have you given it?"

“......”

"You just gave birth to her like this, did you really think about her feelings? Don't you feel selfish?"

“............”

Xu Huaishen's three questions, each of which attacked Ruan Zhi's self-esteem and soul.

She was speechless except for holding the steering wheel tightly.

At least one thing, Xu Huaishen is not wrong.

chose to give birth to Ruan Meng at the beginning, but in fact, she was also selfish.

It was not for the sake of reuniting with Xu Huaishen in the future, but at that time, she felt too lonely.

Because since she was a child, her existence in the Ruan family is a tragedy.

The love of her father and mother is so limited, which forces her to want to love others.

Love someone wholeheartedly and beyond life and soul, even if you give everything, you are willing.

Therefore, at the moment when he lay on the operating table, Ruan Zhi hesitated.

She wants to give birth to this child, not only because she is a living life, but also because she wants to love her and do her best to care for her.

Xu Huaishen is not wrong.

At this point, she is selfish.

gave birth to Ruan Meng in a hot blood, but failed to give her a sound family and father's love.

For Ruan Meng, how can this be fair?

"yes, I'm so selfish. Ruan Zhi looked ahead and said helplessly.

"Why didn't you find a father for Ruan Meng?" Xu Huaishen asked again.

Ruan Zhi smiled, "I've thought about it." ”

Xu Huaishen's eyes sank slightly, "Since you want to, why don't you go and find it?"

"There's no such thing as a fit. Ruan Zhi replied.

Xu Huaishen was silent.

There is no such thing as a suitable one.

It's not that I don't want to look for it, but there is no suitable one around.

The hand he placed on his knee slowly clenched into a fist, and the corners of his thin mouth hooked up a cold smile, "It's good to be bright." ”

Ruan Zhi nodded, as if in agreement: "Yes, he's too good." ”

It is because he is so good that Ruan Zhi feels that he is not worthy of him.

Clarity deserves better.

Instead of living with her like this for a lifetime.

These words fell on Xu Huaishen's ears, but they became her deep feelings for Minglang, but she was helpless.

There is a tragic feeling that they are clearly in love, but they can't be together.

"Huh. Xu Huai snorted coldly, looked down at the sleeping little guy in his arms, but did not speak again.

Ruan Zhi didn't say anything more.

She actually knew what Xu Huaishen meant.

Ruan Zhi is not a fool, let alone an emotional idiot.

Because of her sensitive personality, she can just feel the feelings of others for her.

From the moment they met again, she knew that Xu Huaishen still had feelings for her.

But whether this relationship is not obtained after three years of precipitation, or whether it is obsessed with her, no one can say.

I'm afraid that Xu Huaishen can't tell it himself.

What is it for so entangled now?

It's even more impossible to tell.

She is giving Xu Huaishen time, and she is also giving herself time.

Time is the best antidote, it explains everything.

......

The car drove back to the villa, and it was already dark.

Ruan Meng was still sleeping.

Probably really tired, the little guy slept very deeply and soundly.

Xu Huaishen carried her upstairs, and Ruan Zhi put the bag into the sofa and was about to call Lin Mo.

Before the phone could be dialed, the doorbell rang first.

Ruan Zhi went and opened the door.

The woman standing at the door wore a long skirt and exquisite makeup, and smiled as if she had met for the first time three years ago.

"Hi Ruan Zhi, long time no see. The woman spoke, her voice sweet.

Ruan Zhi: "......"

She tried to imagine a lot of pictures of meeting Bai Wei.

I didn't expect that she would take the initiative to come to the door.

Ruan Zhi's gaze crossed her shoulder and landed on the white car in the courtyard.

Bai Wei changed cars.

This car, she saw when she entered the villa area just now, has been parked on the side of the road.

I didn't expect it to be Bai Wei's.

It seems that she has been waiting here for a long time, and she watched her and Xu Huaishen drive back with her own eyes.

Originally, he was not a friend, nor was he a person with a good relationship, Ruan Zhi didn't plan to make a false greeting, took a step back to the side with the doorknob, and said, "Xu Huaishen is here." ”

Bai Wei blinked, was not polite, and walked in directly.

She stood at the entrance, and when she saw Ruan Zhi closing the door and was about to leave, she immediately spoke: "Ruan Zhi, can you please help me get a pair of slippers?"

Ruan Zhi paused, turned around, and looked at Bai Wei's delicate face with a smile, "No." ”

Bai Wei's face froze: "......"

But then he smiled generously, "I don't mean anything else, because I injured my waist some time ago, so I can't bend down for the time being...... If it's not very convenient for you, then I'll take it myself. ”

So saying, he took off his shoes and bent down to open the door of the shoe cabinet.

She moved very slowly, as if she was afraid of hurting her waist.

And Ruan Zhi just stood by and watched coldly, not moving.

Bai Wei's hand stretched out halfway, and suddenly her body was crooked, and she fell to the ground.

Ruan Zhi subconsciously wanted to reach out to help, but he didn't have time yet.

A figure crossed by her, and the man's arm gently brushed her shoulder, and walked directly in front of Bai Wei.

When Ruan Zhi fixed his eyes, Xu Huaishen had already stretched out his hand and personally picked up Bai Wei.

Bai Wei raised her head, her eyes teary-eyed, "Deep." ”

From Ruan Zhi's direction, it can be seen that Xu Huaishen's jaw is straight, he is holding Bai Wei's arm, and he can't hear any emotion in his voice, just said, "Go and sit on the sofa." ”

"Hmm. Bai Wei nodded, very pitiful.

Ruan Zhi: "......"

THIS BIT IS TOO LOW.

Ruan Zhi didn't bother to take care of it.

But when Bai Wei walked in front of her, she looked at her defiantly with victorious eyes.

Ruan Zhi: "......"

I feel despised to the point where I feel.

"Huaishen, when did Miss Ruan come back? Why didn't you tell me?" Bai Wei sat on the sofa and asked Xu Huaishen with her head tilted.

Xu Huaishen had already withdrawn the hand that was holding her, but his eyes were still on her face.

When he heard her ask, he replied, "I've been back for a while." ”

Automatically avoided the latter question.

Bai Wei beckoned to Ruan Zhi with a friendly smile, "Miss Ruan, come and sit." It's been a long time since I've seen you, and I miss you so much. Shall we sit down and talk?"

Ruan Zhi: "......"

What is the highest rank of the White Lotus?

It's not knowingly asking, and it's not how deep the scheming and means are.

It's about acting.

Even if others feel embarrassed, she doesn't feel embarrassed.

Isn't there such a saying?

As long as you are not embarrassed, it is others who are embarrassed.

It is really appropriate to use these words to describe Bai Wei.

However, Ruan Zhi didn't want to be like her.

"I have something to do, let's talk. Ruan Zhi didn't want to stay downstairs.

He dropped this sentence and went upstairs.

Ruan Meng was not in the guest room.

The large bed in the guest room was empty.

Ruan Zhi could only fold to Xu Huaishen's bedroom.

When I opened the door of his room, I saw Ruan Meng sleeping on his big dark gray bed.

Xu Huaishen's room...... It's still the same as before, nothing has changed.

Ruan Zhi looked at everything familiar in front of him, and the feeling floating in his heart was indescribable.

When she left Liangcheng, she didn't take anything memorabilia with her.

She couldn't wait to erase everything about Xu Huaishen.

So I don't want to have any shadow of him in my life.

Don't even have any items.

At that time, she really wanted to completely forget Xu Huaishen and let go of that relationship.

If Xu Huaishen is the same as himself, shouldn't he also move out of here immediately?

But he didn't change anything.

What does this mean?

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Ruan Zhi's thoughts fluttered.

The phone rang, interrupting her thoughts.

It was Lin Mo who called.

Ruan Zhi was afraid that Ruan Meng would be noisy, so he went to the balcony to answer the phone.

"Childish, did you call me just now?" Lin Mo's voice came from the other end.

"Hmm. Ruan Zhi nodded, "Momo, there are some things I don't understand. ”

She told me what she encountered when she went to apply for a job at Zhiai E's house today.

"Is it so strange?" Lin Mo said.

"You don't think it's normal, right?"
