Lu Huai pondered deeply and the negotiation with Lu Zhongnan finally seemed to end with a consensus between the two sides, but Lu Zhongnan actually did not give him any guarantees, and every word he said was just a middle-of-the-road rhetoric to whitewash the peace.

In the final analysis, Lu Zhongnan is his important backing, Lu Huai knows that this backing is crumbling, although he is holding his breath, he still can't say anything to death, and he has to find ways to stabilize him.

Last night's plan failed, and he was followed by tricky things one after another, and he had nowhere to express his anger, and at last he saw the person who remembered countless times a day, but the man resolutely erected a high wall in front of her to keep him out.

Lu Huaishen thought that as long as he let her be in his sight, as long as he stayed in the same space with her, and didn't give her the slightest chance to get rid of himself.

However, he regarded her as the only breathing hole at the moment, and Jiang Ruo had already regarded him as a cancer that he desperately wanted to cut off.

Just like when Jiang Ruo was cornered, he was her only hope, but he was bent on pushing her out.

They always seem to be hovering in the most inexplicable relationship in the world.

Jiang Ruo saw that he had been silent for a long time, staring at her for a long time, her eyebrows were deep, and she seemed to be silent as if she was about to settle down, she turned her face away, and couldn't help pinching the sheets under her hands.

At this time, Lu Huaishen said in a low voice: "If you mean not to appear in front of you again," he lowered his eyes and paused, "You know it's impossible." ”

"It's quite annoying, but it seems to be expected," Jiang Ruo smiled calmly and said in a low voice: "After all, you are used to this trick to me, you are always full of confidence, always think that coaxing and deception, and then show a little tenderness and love, I will be full of satisfaction and throw myself into your arms." ”

Jiang Ruo looked at him with his lips pursed, but his eyes were empty and unreachable, making Lu Huaishen feel that what was separated from her was not half a room, but thousands of mountains and rivers that were difficult to level.

As she spoke, she couldn't help but feel really funny: "Seriously, Lu Huaishen, you should go to the kind of woman who is not affectionate in the world, she is emotionally ignorant, no matter how you play and deceive, as long as you decide that you will never let go, you can also make up for your mistakes and omissions before she reacts." The most afraid is that I know that there is fraud, I am willing to get into the thief car, and I regret it halfway and want to say goodbye. ”

Jiang Ruo's words were said in a relaxed tone, but the weight that smashed on Lu Huai's deep heart was like a thousand gold.

Lu Huai secretly tightened his heart, and responded indifferently on the surface: "Do you know that angry words have always hurt the enemy by one thousand and self-inflicted with eight hundred?"

"Do you think I'm talking angry?" Jiang Ruo looked at him, word by word, too sincere, "It's not angry, I really regret it." ”

Regretting being blinded by feelings should be the psychology of most unladylike people.

The so-called "one's own choice, pay for the result" is really helpless, because the result can only be borne by oneself no matter what, otherwise? Regret will naturally be regretted, or will it be completely regretted for not being at the beginning.

But the helplessness lies in the fact that even if you regret not at the beginning, you actually had no choice at that time.

In other words, whether voluntarily or not, at the beginning, Lu Huaishen made herself her only life-saving stone, and she could only choose to cling to him tightly.

It is a pity that very few people can maintain the sanity of a saint in front of those whose hearts move, and she is no exception. So she knew that he was trapped, but she would still decide to jump in first, so she was destined to plant a big heel fight on Lu Huaishen, and she was destined to taste the bitter fruit.

It's simply an irreversible cycle.

Lu Huaishen looked at her quiet face from afar, her face was still a little pale, looking weak but indifferent.

He pondered her words, unconsciously rubbing his fingers, the distance from her made him feel unsure, he simply got up and walked over to her and sat down.

Jiang Ruo felt that his emotions were very restrained today, no matter what kind of words she said, his face was immovable, he held her hand, spread her fingers, and seemed to exude tenderness even from his fingertips, gently rubbing the back of her knuckles.

Jiang Ruo looked at him puzzled, and twitched his hand in resistance, but he held it down tightly, but he didn't succeed.

His voice was slightly hoarse: "Since you are willing, you are the first to approach me, don't leave in a hurry." ”

There was a bit of toughness in his tone, so much so that it was hard to tell what was left with a slight pleading softness.

Jiang Ruo was slightly stunned when he heard this, and raised his eyes to look at him motionlessly.

"I won't hurt you, can you," Lu Huaishen reached out and touched her chin, pinched her earlobe upwards, and spoke for a long time: "Trust me?"

The cautious tone of that word made Jiang Ruo's heart tremble suddenly, almost the moment Lu Huaishen said, "I won't hurt you", Jiang Ruo's eyes were moist. As he finished, she turned her face sideways and dodged his hand.

Jiang Ruo withdrew the hand he was holding, clutched the sheet covering his stomach, and his soft voice was a little hoarse and choked: "Can I refuse?"

Lu Huaishen's hand froze in mid-air, stayed in her ear for a moment, and slowly put it down.

Jiang Ruo lowered his eyelashes, his eyes always fell on the side and did not look at him, his tone was calm, and he also dyed a little uncertain smile: "When you rejected me before, you were much more resolute than I am now, aren't you?"

Lu Huaishen was shocked, but his mood was inexplicably relaxed for a moment, at this moment, her resentment towards him was better than silent resistance.

"Things from the past ......"

He wanted to say that no one would have thought that there would be today in the past, and there would not be today without the beginning.

Jiang Ruo cut off his words: "How can it be said that it is in the past, it was just a few months ago." As I said a long time ago, I am a cautious person, I love to hold grudges, and I am really not open-minded, and I remember clearly even the little thing that you locked me out of your house and did not let me in, let alone the various things you forced me to leave the house. In the past, I wanted to be with you, and I repeatedly made myself think that there was no right or wrong between you and me at that time, only a position, but at that time, it was just that we had different positions, so I decided not to care about it anymore. ”

The implication is: since I have decided not to be with you, the new and old accounts can be settled together.

Lu Huaishen felt a fleeting sense of ease, he understood it, but he didn't give up, and asked, "What about now?"

Jiang Ruo raised his eyes to look at him: "If you think about it, we are the two people who are least likely to be together." ”

Lu Huai frowned deeply, "If I hope you don't care about it now, isn't it impossible?"

Jiang Ruo lowered his eyelashes and nodded slightly: "Hmm." ”

Jiang Ruo's vision was gradually blurred by water vapor, and suddenly, the slender palm of the stock index covered her stomach, and Jiang Ruo was stunned.

"What about it?" Lu Huaishen's tone was a little aggressive, Jiang raised his head suddenly, he looked at her with a forced look in his eyes, "What about it?"

Just as he said this, Jiang Ruozheng's mind went blank, the little guy in his stomach suddenly moved, and seemed to be echoing Lu Huaishen's words at the same time, asking her what to do?

The quilt was too thick, Lu Huaishen didn't feel it, just looked at her with heavy eyes.

Jiang Ruo met his eyes while sensing the movement in his stomach one after another.

Jiang Ruo promptly extinguished the signs of repeated soft-heartedness, "I said it a long time ago, I don't want to talk to your child, because I am afraid that if I come to this point, who knows that I will become a proverb?"

Jiang Ruo's heart was in turmoil, messing up the order of words, that is, at this moment, a thought appeared in his mind - the fetus in the mother's womb has a sense of the outside world, especially the mother's emotions and voices. She suddenly felt weak about what she had just said.

She paused and remedied: "I'm not going to do anything to hurt it in order to part ways with you, as for the custody issue, I'll talk about it later." ”

Jiang Ruo didn't think that the result of the discussion now would not be reversed in the future, it was too early, and he only needed to clarify the fact that they were about to separate.

As for Lu Huaishen, he has already understood that since he has talked about the issue of custody, it is naturally linked to divorce.

Lu Huaishen's jaw tightened, and his lips tightened.

Jiang Ruo deliberately ignored his expression and said, "It's late, I want to sleep, you let the people at the door leave, you can go too." ”

After speaking, she pulled the quilt and planned to lie down, but Lu Huaishen, who she thought would be silent to the end, suddenly pinched her shoulder, caught off guard, Jiang Ruo was startled, and opened his eyes wide to see the man who was suddenly approaching in front of him.

"Listen, the people at the door won't leave, and I won't go," Lu Huai's deep nose almost touched her face, his voice forced out from his lips and teeth, and told her word by word: "It's even more impossible for me to agree to separate from you, don't think that I don't know if you don't say it now, you must divorce when you get married, and you will definitely want custody of the child, if you insist on doing so, then I might as well fight with you." ”

Jiang Ruo was suddenly so angry that he said: "You ......"

"If you want to call me despicable, don't you? Since you have already guessed that it is impossible to break off with me cleanly when you have children, then I can also take advantage of this to keep you. ”

Jiang Ruo's eyes were red and he looked at him in disbelief.

"I've never been a decent gentleman anyway, and it doesn't hurt to be mean. With that, he leaned forward slightly, taking her lower lip into his mouth.

Jiang Ruo's eyes turned angry and cold, and he didn't avoid the kiss, but he didn't have any ambiguity in his hand, and he greeted him with a slap.

Lu Huaishen reacted, let go of her lips, and tilted his head when he went to pull her hand, and the slap landed on his jaw and neck.

That slap was quite ruthless, and with a crisp sound, Lu Huaishen's ears and neck instantly turned red, if it wasn't biased, Lu Huaishen's left and right faces were red and white at the moment.

Lu Huaishen's eyes were dark, and when he saw Jiang Ruo closing his eyes and eyebrows, he adjusted his breathing rapidly, and forgot to put down his raised hand, so he got up and walked out.

Jiang Ruo opened her eyes when she heard the door close, and she touched her stomach, feeling tight and uncomfortable.

After a while, a nurse pushed open the door and strode in, "Contractions again?"

Jiang Ruo sat on the bed with his hands at his side, "A little bit just now, but now it's better." ”

The nurse checked it and remembered that the man who came to the nurse's station to call people just now looked nervous, like a small couple of people who were not in harmony, and said: "It's best to keep your mood calm, your situation is not optimistic, and any mood swings are not good for you and the fetus." ”

It happened to be the head nurse on duty, a serious middle-aged woman, and her tone was relatively heavy.

Jiang Ruo nodded, "Thank you for the reminder, I will pay attention." ”

The head nurse helplessly thought to herself, why are there so many irresponsible people, and what children are born if the husband and wife problems are not dealt with well, but there are many such incidents in the hospital, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they have become numb.

When he went out, the head nurse saw the man standing at the door, and said in a bad tone: "What's the matter with the family, at this time, I have a red face and a thick neck with the patient, it is better not to appear in front of her, if you still want this child, put aside the husband and wife problem first." Your wife is fine, she hasn't passed the observation period yet, so be careful in the future. ”

After saying that, he left, and even rolled his eyes.

Lu Huaishen ate all the deflated things today, and everyone gave him a look.

This hospital is not the hospital where Jiang Ruo Jianka did prenatal checkups and prepared for delivery, because this hospital was the closest top three to Jiang Ruo last night, and he came here first in a hurry. The hospital that had been built before was a private hospital, and it was going to wait for Jiang Ruo's condition to stabilize a little before transferring to another hospital.

Lu Huai thought angrily, this attitude is simply incomparable, the VIP ward is still like this, and it really works more for money.

Cheng Shu and his two colleagues stood aside silently, trying to narrow their sense of existence, and seeing that Lu Huaishen's face was really ugly, he stepped forward to explain: "Mr. Lu, the angel in white is also for the good of his wife, and there is more than one patient to take care of. ”

Lu Huaishen didn't say a word, and strode away in the direction of the elevator.

Jiang Ruo could hear the movement outside inside, and she heard the head nurse's words word for word, and soon, the corridor was completely quiet.

Jiang Ruo lay down on his side and closed his eyes, his mind was still difficult to calm down.

Lu Huaishen's words just now softened her heart several times, and she tried not to look at his expression, for fear that she would be confused again and step into the deception he had created again.

Sure enough, Lu Huaishen shouldn't take the affectionate route, it's too easy to shake people's hearts, even if she can't believe him anymore, she still thinks those words are very beautiful.

But if you think about it carefully, isn't this how she was deceived by him step by step?

Despite thinking so, Jiang Ruo still couldn't help but recall the low hoarse voice when he said those words, full of sincerity, it was rare to see such full emotions in Lu Huaishen.

……

"Since you are willing, and you are the one who approached me first, don't leave in a hurry. ”

……

"I won't hurt you, can you trust me?"

……

"If I wish you didn't care about it now, wouldn't it be impossible?"

……

Jiang Ruo curled up, pinching the corners of the quilt against her chin, the corners of her eyes were moist, and the sourness spread to the tip of her nose, and she couldn't help but overflow a faint trembling cry.

Lu Huaishen went downstairs and took the elevator straight into the underground parking lot.

Drove some distance away from the hospital, parked the car in a temporary parking space on the side of the road, and twisted a cigarette from the cigarette case and lit it.

There are not many people on this section of the road, on the back street of the hospital, leading to an old-fashioned residential area, the shade of trees blocks the light of some street lamps, Lu Huaishen lowered the car window, and the shadows were full of shadows, and the smoke appeared at a glance when swallowing clouds and spitting fog.

The pain in the stomach was briefly subsided by nicotine.

Halfway through, the phone rang, Lu Huaishen's eyelids didn't move, leaning on his back on the saddle, half-hanging his eyes, his contours tight.

It wasn't until he smoked a whole cigarette that Lu Huaishen picked up his mobile phone and dialed the phone back.

He Zongming made a special call to care about his situation.

When you connect, you ask, "Are you in the hospital now?"

"Nope. ”

He Zongming asked, "Then where are you?"

"Near the hospital. ”

He Zongming: "......" Listening to this depressed voice, wandering near the hospital, did he not dare to go in or was he kicked out?

He asked, "Have you eaten?" and I was looking to talk to you about something to have a meal together. ”

He Zongming worked tirelessly to rush from all the way to the restaurant near the hospital, and found it according to the location, if he hadn't seen Lu Huaishen's car outside, he really suspected that he had found the wrong one.

With two small storefronts and several tables of various sizes occupied by diners, the space looks rather cramped and noisy.

When He Zongming walked through the narrow passage to Lu Huaishen's table, he heard a table saying who was dying, and the table was saying that the hospital had been too long to find out the cause of the disease, but he handed over the money one by one, and he simply couldn't be cured.

Lu Huaishen sat on a chair and waited for the food, He Zongming sat down opposite him, looked around, and saw the heat of the food on each table, and it was warm to look at in the cold night.

He joked: "It's rare for me to see you so down-to-earth." ”

Lu Huaishen said: "Didn't you say that you have something to do with me?"

He Zongming patted his head, "Ouch, I suddenly forgot something." ”

Lu Huaishen lifted his eyelids and glanced at him, but didn't say anything.

He Zongming looked at his distraught look, and thought that he was probably not very optimistic with Jiang Ruo. After a closer look, he wondered: "Why am you still a little sick when I see you?"

Lu Huaishen didn't sleep all night yesterday, and during the day, he had a meeting, and the company's Lu family and the hospital went back and forth, plus his stomach hurt, he endured the pain for a long time, and his face was a little blue.

He Zongming suddenly remembered, was shocked, and asked, "You can't be an old problem, right?"

Lu Huaishen said: "It's not in the way. After speaking, he took a sip of the hot tea in front of him, and poured another cup for He Zongming.

He Zongming said: "You can be light or heavy, if you are really uncomfortable, there is a hospital opposite, go and prescribe some medicine or something, and treat it." ”

"Hmm. ”

After a while, He Zongming was satisfied, "Although this restaurant is small, it tastes really good, and it is rare to eat such authentic Sichuan cuisine." ”

Lu Huaishen said: "How do you know that this is authentic Sichuan cuisine?"

He Zongming said: "When I was younger, I met a customer from Chengdu, I went to Chengdu on a business trip for a few days, every day was spicy, and after coming back, I almost didn't have hemorrhoids, and I remember it very deeply." Later, I ate Sichuan cuisine, although the taste is also good, but the method is a little different, and the taste is almost meaningless. ”

Lu Huai pulled his lips and smiled in response.

Seeing that he was only concerned about drinking tea and didn't move his chopsticks, He Zongming asked, "Why don't you eat?"

I can't eat spicy ones, but I can always eat fish-flavored eggplant or something.

Lu Huaishen said: "I don't have an appetite. ”

He Zongming only thought that he was worried about Jiang Ruo's affairs, so he didn't think much about it.

It wasn't until he was about to leave after eating that when Lu Huaishen stood up, his back couldn't be straightened, and he couldn't take a step for a long time, that He Zongming knew that the matter was serious and immediately put someone on the emergency room.

After the doctor examined, he arranged a bed for intravenous drips, and told him that the bed was tight, and he was afraid that a patient would come in a while, so he could go home after the infusion and the medicine.

He Zongming said: "This is an old problem, and the previous inspection said that if it develops seriously......

The doctor interrupted him angrily: "I know it's an old problem and I don't eat yet, isn't this self-inflicted?" ”

He Zongming was speechless, and agreed with these words in his heart.

After Lu Huaishen was infusion, He Zongming saw that he had his eyes closed, his hands on his eyes to block the light, and his face was full of fatigue, and he said sincerely: "Lu Huaishen, I find that you are a bit like playing a bitter trick now, but you are taking a self-destructive route. ”

Lu Huaishen didn't react at all.

He Zongming said to himself: "Do you want to get you a VIP ward?" After all, your emergency department and the inpatient department are not only separated by more than a dozen floors, but also two floors. ”

Lu Huaishen didn't despise He Zongming's idea at all, mainly because he didn't think that there was a possibility of success, after all, he had said a good thing in a low voice, Jiang Ruo was not moved at all, what kind of hard work, he was afraid that only by apologizing with death could Jiang Ruo move his eyes.

Lu Huai had a deep headache, and He Zongming was so noisy that he couldn't rest quietly if he wanted to.

When He Zongming closed his mouth, Lu Huaishen said, "Haven't you been busy lately?"

"It's okay at night, except for your incident recently, the company has nothing to do to work overtime. ”

"Then you can find something else to do. ”

He Zongming said understandingly: "You are like this now, I can't accompany you here." ”

Lu Huaishen took his hand, was silent for a while, and said, "Thank you, but it's better for you not to be here, I want to be quiet for a while." ”

"Kindness is treated as a donkey's liver and lungs. He Zongming snorted fakely, full of coquettishness, and then said with a straight face: "Stay by yourself, contact me if you have something." ”

After He Zongming left, Lu Huaishen quickly squinted for a while, but it didn't take long for him to be woken up by the cry of the child next door.

It was a child whose leg was burned by boiling water, and when the wound was treated, he was also tired of crying, and he kept whimpering like a cat.

Lu Huaishen couldn't sleep, sleepy but awake, and when the drip was finished, it was early in the morning, and the discomfort was almost eliminated, so he left the emergency department with his coat and went to the inpatient department.

Entering the ward in the dark, Lu Huaishen closed the door lightly, then sat on the sofa for a while, and when he was sleepy, he covered his coat and fell asleep on the sofa.

The next morning, Jiang Ruo woke up, the sky was bright, Aunt Wu had just arrived, and she was struggling with whether to wake Jiang Ruo up for breakfast.

Seeing her wake up, she said with a kind face: "I was thinking about whether to wake you up, since I woke up, I will wash up and eat breakfast, while it is hot." ”

Jiang Ruo sat up and looked past Aunt Wu at the empty sofa.

I slept in a daze last night and heard the movement, and I don t know if it was really a dream, has Lu Huaishen ever been back, Cheng Shu and they must have known, but she didn t plan to ask.

In the afternoon, Jiang Ruo was arranged to be transferred to the hospital, and Wang Zhao and Qiao Hui came over on their front and back feet.

"Why are you here?" Jiang Ruo was surprised, she hadn't told Wang Zhao about the hospitalization, and she didn't know where she knew about it.

Wang Zhao: "From a friend." ”

Jiang Ruo thought for a moment, "Do you have any friends who know that I am hospitalized? I am still in another hospital in the morning." ”

Wang Zhao saw that he couldn't hide it, so he said unnaturally: "He Zongming," and at the end, he added a snake and said: "I asked him for work matters, and he took the initiative to reveal them to me." ”
