Zhou Yanan turned his head sideways and looked at Chen Nanmu intently, he was obviously a little abnormal today, and the words he said were also very confusing. Zhou Yanan has never seen him like this. It doesn't matter before. Or now. Such Chen Nanmu made her feel a little strange. In her eyes, Chen Nanmu has always been a gentle and jade-like person, without too many emotions, let alone joy and anger, and is indifferent to everything.

He is like a piece of jade, when he holds it, he seems to be warm, there is a temperature, but I don't know that the temperature you feel is just your own, he looks warm, but his heart is cold, or the kind of thing that no matter how you try to do it, you can't cover the heat.

They're together now. The behavior is more intimate than before, how could Zhou Yanan not feel it, those warmth and affection seem to be her own fantasy. Chen Nanmu has always been to her and has never been too much. It's not too far away, there's a safe distance between them, you can't feel his heart, and you don't get caught up in it, as if it's good for both of them.

After Cheng Xunshu left, the atmosphere of the three of them almost dropped to freezing. Zhou Yanan didn't have the heart to break this embarrassing atmosphere, sometimes he lowered his head and looked up at Chen Nanmu.

He returned to the previous state of displeasure and anger, with a faint smile on his face, which can be regarded as a bit of tacit understanding, when Zhou Yanan looked at him, he would turn his head sideways, glance at her, and show a gentle smile.

Zhou Yanqing didn't keep the right wine, and after drinking two cups of tea, he got up and said goodbye, and settled the bill by the way when he left.

In the end, there were only the two of them left in the private room, but the atmosphere did not improve because of Zhou Yanqing's departure, but became a little dull and depressing.

Zhou Yanan is like an optimist most of the time, and never shows negative emotions on her face, in fact, she has not been as optimistic as she seems on the surface, let alone as happy as she seems on the surface, and it has been even worse recently.

After being silent for a long time, Chen Nanmu sandwiched the dish to her three times, she didn't move, he finally put down the chopsticks in his hand, he could naturally detect her abnormality, but he didn't want to ask more, if he asked too much, some questions would be entangled, so it was better to hang it high.

He took a tissue, wiped his mouth, and asked, "Have you eaten enough?"

Zhou Yanan reluctantly hooked the corners of his lips, nodded, and said, "I'm full." ”

"Are you going to the welfare home in the afternoon?"

Zhou Yanan thought for a while, turned his head to look at him, and after being silent for a while, he said, "Go." ”

"Then I'll send you there. Chen Nanmu's expression was calm, his eyes did not evade in the slightest, he reached out and wiped the corner of her mouth, and said, "Let's go." ”

Zhou Yanan stretched out his hand and pressed his arm, with a trace of entanglement in his eyes, his brows frowned slightly, and he looked at him silently for a while. For Chen Nanmu, she actually always had a question in her heart, but she never dared to ask, nor did she want to ask, but deep down she was very eager to know an answer. However, to this day, she has not figured out what to do if this answer is not what she wanted.

Chen Nanmu didn't speak, and his expression didn't even change in the slightest, let alone the fluctuations in his emotions.

"Chen Nanmu. She softly called out his name.

"Huh?"

She raised her lips and smiled, and said, "You see that we have known each other for so long, until now I don't know where you live or who is in your family." Of course, I don't mean to meet them, after all, it's still an underground romance between us, and I know you're certainly not ready for it. But I told you everything about my family, and you know it very well, I don't have any secrets with you, so can you tell me about your family?"

She leaned over, put her head on his shoulder, and said, "Look, falling in love without the purpose of marriage is a hooligan, and you are not young now, so when we are together, you must be rushing to get married, right? ”

Chen Nanmu smiled lightly, raised his hand and patted the back of her hand gently, and said, "I know, I will tell you when I have the chance." ”

"Then can I sneak a sneak over to your house?"

"Don't be secretive, I don't have anyone else at home. Do you want to go?"

Zhou Yanan sat up straight, his eyes were bright, and he couldn't hide his surprise, and said, "Can I go?"

"Yes, you want to tell me when you want. ”

"Tonight. ”

"Good. ”

Chen Nanmu smiled slightly, raised his hand and touched her head, and said, "Now, send it to your welfare home?"

"Well, I have two more classes in the afternoon. You're coming to pick me up in the evening. ”

"Good. ”

Zhou Yanan said, then got up and pushed him out of the private room.

Zhou Yanqing sat in the car, thought about it, took out his mobile phone, and made an international call.

At this point in time, it should be night in the United States, and Zhou Chan picked up the phone after a while, and it seemed that she hadn't slept yet.

"Zhou Chan, let me ask you something. ”

Zhou Yanqing's tone was not good, which made Zhou Chan's heart tighten, and said, "What's wrong?"

"What is the origin of Chen Nanmu? ”

Zhou Chan paused, laughed dryly, and said, "What's the matter, what are you talking about, do you know what time it is on our side, it's time to go to bed." ”

"Do you still want to talk to me about him?" Zhou Yanqing obviously looked like he wanted to investigate to the end.

However, Zhou Chan is not a person who will compromise, and said: "What happened, you suddenly asked me this, there should always be a premise, right?

Zhou Yanqing raised her eyebrows and said, "Yes, something happened at home." ”

Zhou Chan was silent, and only after a long time did she sneer and say, "Old Five, don't joke with me, is it interesting? If something really happens, will you still make this call?"

"Zhou Chan, what are you hiding, you know it in your own heart. But you also need to figure out what your last name is. In the past, you were a member of the Zhou family, but now you are married to Mu Sen and are a member of the Mu family. So you have nothing to do with the Chen family, what are you hiding for them? And what your concealment will cause to the Zhou family, I don't know, you know best. So, are you willing to see your relatives suffer heavy losses, and you don't want Chen Nanmu to be hurt in the slightest?"

Zhou Chan hid in the bathroom, the sound of water dripping was ticking, her hand holding the phone tightened, took a deep breath, and said with a smile: "I don't understand what you're talking about." ”

"Zhou Yanan and Chen Nanmu are together. ”

As soon as the voice fell, Zhou Yanqing heard a click on the other end of the phone, and then the phone was hung up.

Zhou Yanqing quietly dialed again, and was answered as soon as he dialed the phone, "Why! Why didn't you stop it? Didn't I say that they can't be together, you have to stop it! How can you let them be together!"

Zhou Chan was obviously a little excited, but she still tried her best to restrain her emotions.

"They love each other, how can I stop it?"

"They can't love each other!" Zhou Chan immediately refuted his words.

"Why can't it be? Is it because of you? Do you think that man still likes you?" Zhou Yanqing snorted, and suddenly said in a cold tone, "Zhou Chan, you honestly, the reason why the two of them can't be together is because he is your ex, you still love him, and you don't want him to be with your niece, or is he having a grudge against our Zhou family, so whether he likes you or not, it is destined to be a tragedy in the end?"

There was a slight sound on the other end of the phone, and I don't know if she had hit something or dropped something.

Her breathing became a little rapid, as if she was told something by Zhou Yanqing, and she was silent for a while before she said slowly, "What do you mean?"

"It's not interesting, Zhou Chan, you have been exposed, why don't you just refuse to say it?"

Zhou Chan smiled lightly, the smile was a little bleak, and after laughing for a while, she slowly stopped and said, "He used to be normal, he was a person who could walk, run and jump, and I made him like this." It's my fault, it's that I can't bear the loneliness, my current husband Mu Sen used to be his good friend, I slept with his friend behind his back, the taste of cheating was very exciting, there was a second time with the first time, and then I became more and more bold, and finally he was caught red-handed. ”

"He hated me, he hated me all the time, so he took revenge on me in this way. He obviously knew that Zhou Yanan was my niece, and he still attacked her, which was revenge. If the two of them are really together, you can tell Zhou Yanan about it, since she has been involved, then she has the right to know the truth. Go tell her that the man she likes now, I've used it!"

Zhou Yanqing pursed her lips and did not speak. Regarding Zhou Chan's remarks, he reserved his attitude and did not fully believe it.

"Zhou Yanqing, did you hear me! I don't want me to be out of the Zhou family anymore, and the people of the Zhou family will be hurt because of me. Yanan is a good girl, the only one in the Zhou family who is quite simple, you don't want her to go on the road of no return. ”

After Zhou Chan called several times on the other end of the phone, Zhou Yanqing spoke up and said, "I know." ”

"But if you are really such a person, then Zhou Chan, I really thought wrong about you before. ”

Zhou Chan just smiled and said, "So what? Aren't I having a happy family now?"

The two didn't say anything more, and Zhou Yanqing hung up the phone directly. Zhou Chan sat in the bathroom, holding her mobile phone tightly in her hand, her face pale.

At this time, the person in the bathroom was knocked, and Mu Sen called softly at the door, "Zhou Chan, what's wrong with you?"

She immediately stood up, raised her hand to wipe the tears from her face, and said, "It's okay, do you want to go to the toilet? ”

After she finished speaking, she stood in front of the mirror, raised her hand and rubbed her cheeks vigorously, so that her face did not look so ugly, and reluctantly pulled the corners of her mouth, and after seeing the smile that satisfied her, she tried to maintain it, took a deep breath, and opened the bathroom door.

Mussen wore glasses and looked sleepy-eyed, as if he had woken up from a sleep.

"Got you?"

Mu Sen smiled, raised his hand to take off his glasses and rubbed his eyes, leaned against the wall, and said, "No, I just got up to go to the toilet and found that you were not around?"

Zhou Chan paused, looked down at her hands, and said with a smile: "Yes." ”

"Nothing happened, did it?"

"No, you should go to the toilet first. She smiled and waved her hand to get out of the way, and Mussen nodded, put on his glasses and looked at her, and went straight into the bathroom, closing the door with his hand.

The smile on Zhou Chan's face fell, and she frowned unconsciously.

At night, Zhou Chan tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

When she moves around like this, it naturally affects the people around her. Finally, Mussen let out a low sigh, got up, turned on the bedside lamp, and sat up.

"Is something wrong?"

Zhou Chan was lying with her back to him, and after the light came on, she didn't move, probably because she didn't want Mu Sen to see that she couldn't sleep. But obviously, she thought too little, and one of the people next to her couldn't sleep, and the other might not be able to fall asleep.

She opened her eyes, exhaled heavily, turned her head to look at him, smiled helplessly, and said, "Did you quarrel?"

"yes, you're really arguing with me this time. ”

Zhou Chan turned over, sat up, and said, "I'm sorry, otherwise I'd better go sleep in the guest room." ”

Mu Sen reached out and grabbed her wrist, and with a little force, he pulled her into his arms and said, "What kind of guest room do you sleep in? We are husband and wife, you can discuss with me if you have any troubles." I wouldn't let you sleep in the guest room alone. Zhou Chan, we've been together for so many years, aren't you used to it yet?"

Zhou Chan lowered her eyes, her eyes fell on the back of his hand, and she raised her hand and gently held his hand, "How can you not get used to it? It's long past the time when you are not used to it, but I don't want to add trouble to you, you are so busy with work now, I can't be a burden to you." ”

Mussen sighed and said, "So, you never let yourself be a burden to me, so our relationship will never come in." ”

"Actually......"

"Okay, let's not talk about that, you tell me who called you and what it was that kept you awake. ”

Zhou Chan wanted to say forget it, she wanted to say that she had occupied the title of Mrs. Mu for a long time, and it didn't matter if she took it away now, if he could meet a better one, he would meet what he liked. It's not that she hasn't said this, and Mu Sen doesn't know that she wants to say this, so she directly diverts the topic.

Zhou Chan thought about it, and after a little struggle, she broke free of his embrace and turned to face him.

Before she could speak, Mu Sen said, "You want to go back to China again?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Chan's face was full of surprise, and she opened her mouth, wanting to ask how you guessed.

"Do you think you have to go? If you don't go here, won't you be able to sleep all the time? If you don't go, will you always be absent-minded?"

Zhou Chan didn't answer, only lowered her head. However, in Moussen's view, not speaking is tantamount to acquiescence.

Mu Sen reached out and took her hand again, pulled her into his arms again, and said, "If that's the case, then you can go back, but I have to arrange for someone to follow you, so that I can rest assured." ”

"You promise?" Zhou Chan didn't expect that Mu Sen would agree so happily.

Mu Sen smiled helplessly, rubbed the stubble on her chin against her head, and said, "What else should I do? I don't want to look at my wife's sad face all day long, and then the two children will ask me, why is my mother unhappy all day? Why is my mother's dark circles getting worse and worse? Why does our mother look so old? What do you want me to answer?"

Zhou Chan was amused by him, arched him with her head, and then raised her head to meet his gaze, smiled gently, and said, "Thank you." ”

"No need to say thank you to me, we are husband and wife. ”

She lowered her head and chuckled, and after a moment she took the initiative to throw herself into his arms, hugged his waist tightly, put her cheek on his chest, and said, "This time I went back for my family, not anything else." ”

"I know. I'm not that kind of person, and if I didn't believe you, I wouldn't have let you leave me for half a step. ”

Zhou Chan didn't say anything more, only closed her eyes and hugged him tightly.

……

In the evening, Cheng Xunxun wanted to push the dinner, but the people invited were all people with heads and faces, with her current status, they were willing to attend the dinner, so she should have had fun, so she had to go.

It was already ten o'clock in the evening when she got home after the party, and this was because she left early, and several people were still playing cards and drinking in the clubhouse, so she made an excuse and ran away.

On the way home, Cheng Xunchun also bought a bag of supper, she originally thought that Zhou Yanqing would definitely wait for her at home now, and before going to the hotel in the evening, she also called him and said that she would wait at home. But when she opened the door and went in, the lights in the house were on and the TV was on, but Zhou Yanqing's people were not there.

She turned the room around and shouted several times, but the only thing that responded to her was the sound of an advertisement on TV.

Zhou Yanqing was on his way to Chen Nanmu's house, he asked people to follow Zhou Yanan, who knew that he received the news that Zhou Yanan had not come down for two or three hours at Chen Nanmu's house at night.

He called Zhou Yanan three times in a row, and it wasn't until the fourth that she picked it up slowly, her voice was very low, and she said, "Fifth uncle, what's the matter with you? ”

"Inconvenient, what are you doing inconvenient?"

"I ......" Zhou Yanan paused, then hardened his tone and said, "Don't worry about it." ”

"Zhou Yanan, I'll give you ten minutes to come out of Chen Nanmu's house immediately, or I'll tell your mother about it. ”

"You ......" Zhou Yanan suddenly seemed to think of something, and the tone of his words changed, and asked: "How do you know that I am in Chen Nanmu's house now?" Fifth uncle, what are you doing to me!"

"I'll give you ten minutes, and if I don't see you come out in ten minutes, I'll call your mom right away, and I'll do what I say. After speaking, Zhou Yanqing hung up the phone and didn't give Zhou Yanan a chance to speak.

Zhou Yanan looked at the words ending the call on the mobile phone screen, and suddenly felt annoyed, and the clothes on his body were still a little messy.

From the moment she walked into Chen Nanmu's house, she was ready to take the relationship between them further, and she couldn't be uncomfortable in such a short distance.

However, he was almost on the verge of success, but was interrupted by Zhou Yanqing's bombardment of the phone.

When Zhou Yanqing's car arrived at the gate of the community, Zhou Yanan was standing on the side of the road with his bag on his back, the car slowly passed by, stopped in front of her, Zhou Yanqing lowered the window, glared at her, and said, "Get in the car." ”

Zhou Yanan pursed his lips and said, "Fifth uncle, what do you want to do? What does it have to do with you if I fall in love? You care so much! You even find someone to follow me, you are not sick!"

"Did you hurt your feet or your brain? Or did you say your brain grew on your buttocks! Your attitude towards Chen Nanmu at noon today was particularly disrespectful! You yourself are a cripple, don't you still hate him for not being able to walk! You haven't walked very well!" Zhou Yanan stood here for five minutes, but the fire in his heart showed no sign of subsiding, but burned more and more, the anger rushed to the top of his head, and he spoke a little unscrupulously.

Zhou Yanqing glanced at her and said, "Okay, then I'll tell your mother and see if she can agree." ”

"You!" Zhou Yanan pursed his lips, snorted, and said, "My mother doesn't have time to take care of me now." ”

"Yes, if she knew that her daughter had found such a person, she would be free. "Gang Liver.

"Fifth uncle, what do you want?"

"Get in the car first. ”

Zhou Yanan took a deep breath, and finally got into the car, and the car drove away from the gate of the community in a moment.

Chen Nanmu sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, the mobile phone on the small table next to him vibrate, he glanced sideways, reached out and picked up the phone.

"They're gone. ”

"Good. After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone, put the phone back, picked up the wine glass, and took a sip, without a smile on his face, his eyes were slightly dark, and there was an indescribable emotion around his body. Raised his hand and gently touched his neck, which was still stained with Zhou Yanan's lip gloss.

He glanced down, remembering the scene just now, and couldn't help but slightly pick the corners of his lips.

The women who want to come to their Zhou family, one or two, don't know what reservedness is. My aunt is, and so do my niece.

Zhou Yanqing and Zhou Yanan sat side by side in the back seat of the car, no one spoke first, Zhou Yanan was still angry, pouting, and looked very unhappy that a good thing had been broken.

"As a woman, shouldn't you be a little more reserved?" Zhou Yanqing glanced at her sideways, put on a straight face, posed as an elder, and said: "You are the daughter of the Zhou family, you want to let people get on you like this, do you want to be embarrassed?"

"It's not your face that I'm embarrassed, and besides, I'm in love with him, and I can't help it. Besides, we're all adult men and women, and it's normal for something to happen between boyfriends and girlfriends, isn't it? You can still sleep with her when you don't like it at the beginning, so what do you think of it as an inflatable doll!"

"Zhou Yanan! Who made you not big or small! I'll give you some color, and you'll open a dye shop for me, won't you! Believe it or not, I'll tell your mother!"

Zhou Yanqing had already said the latter sentence several times, Zhou Yanan glanced at him and said, "Can you change the way you threaten me?"

"Yes, I'll call directly. ”

Zhou Yanan sighed, was silent for a moment, and finally relented, turned his head, looked at Zhou Yanqing pitifully, and said, "Fifth uncle, what do you want?" My mother will definitely not accept Chen Nanmu now, of course, I will not keep this matter hidden, and ...... when the time is ripe."

Before Zhou Yanan's words were finished, Zhou Yanqing interrupted her and said: "Don't wait, I'll give you a week to break off with Chen Nanmu, don't go to the welfare home in the future, don't you like to do charity? I can put you in charge of building Hope Primary School for them. ”

"If you are not afraid of hardship, you can stay there and teach. ”

Zhou Yanan said: "What do you mean by this? I do like to do charity, and I want to go out, but now is not the time, at my current age, I should solve my life's major problems first, isn't it?"

Zhou Yanqing smiled slightly, glanced at her sideways, and said, "Chen Nanmu, you don't have to think about it. ”

"Fifth uncle, don't worry about this, okay? Just let me decide for myself, even if I am really injured in the end, it is my own business, and I will not resent anyone. Fifth uncle, I beg you, leave me and Chen Nanmu alone, okay?" Zhou Yanan lowered his posture.

However, Zhou Yanqing was unmoved, "A week." ”

"Zhou Yanqing!"

"I'll only give you a week to break off with Chen Nanmu. ”

Zhou Yanan glared at him, closed his mouth for a moment, and stopped talking. Of course she wasn't acquiescing, she just didn't want to talk to him anymore.

No matter what he said anyway, he wouldn't agree.

After being silent for a long time, Zhou Yanqing could more or less guess what she was thinking, lowered her head and fiddled with her sleeves, and said: "When you were eating today, didn't you see Chen Nanmu's attitude? ”

"You know you're going to get hurt, so why do you bother like this. ”

Zhou Yanan snorted and said, "He doesn't like me so much now, it doesn't mean that he won't like me in the future, just like you treat Xun Xun, you dare to say that you liked her from the beginning?"

"It's not the same, and the results are not the same. I'm not Chen Nanmu, and you're not Cheng Xunxun. You can't compare that, you know?"

Zhou Yanan disagreed, "How do you know if you haven't tried." ”

Zhou Yanqing frowned, looked at her sideways and looked at her deeply, Zhou Yanan's appearance was very persistent.

The car stopped downstairs at Zhou Yanan's house, she unbuckled her seat belt, and said, "Thank you, Fifth Uncle, for sending me back, I'm leaving, you be careful on the road." ”

Zhou Yanqing only nodded, and didn't bother to say more, Zhou Yanan got out of the car, and before closing the door, Zhou Yanan still said, "Fifth uncle, I hope you can respect my decision." ”

Zhou Yanqing just smiled, glanced sideways at her, and said, "Go back and think about it." ”

Zhou Yanan took a breath and reached out to slam the door.

When Zhou Yanqing returned home, it was almost eleven o'clock, and Cheng Xunxun was lying on the sofa, watching TV while eating.

When he heard the voice, he just glanced up, saw him come in, and said, "Come back." ”

Zhou Yanqing came in slowly, bent over and took off her shoes, walked over with crutches, stood in front of her, played with her ankles with crutches, and said, "When will you come back, don't call me." ”

"I called, but you didn't answer. I think you might have something, so I won't bother you. "Cheng Xunchun didn't get up.

There was leftover food on the coffee table, and Cheng Xunxun ate it while waiting, and wiped out all the food that was packed back. At dinner, she ate a little cold dish and drank a few glasses of wine, which was originally a taste, but she couldn't stop eating it.

"I went to pick up Yanan, she went to Chen Nanmu's house. ”

Cheng Xunxun heard the sound and stood up, "You still chased after him?"

Zhou Yanqing sat down, put the cane on one side, reached out and clasped her neck, I patted her mouth, and said, "Didn't you say that you went to dinner?

Cheng Xunxun stretched his waist, the whole person was a little drunk, stretched out his hand to wrap around his neck, looked up at him, and said: "They always toast me, they don't have time to eat, and then they play cards with them for a while, and they lose a lot of money, and they drink all the time, and they don't eat anything." ”

"Originally, this was for you, you didn't eat one when I was idle and bored, it tasted very good, and it was gone while eating. ”

Cheng Xunxun tilted his head, his eyes looked straight at him, and his gaze moved from his eyes to his lips little by little. Stretched out a finger, tapped his lips, and said with a smile: "You have ruined other people's good things." ”

"It's not a good thing between them. Zhou Yanqing wrapped his arms around her waist.

"What the hell is the reason why the two of them can't be together?" At this time, she was like a boneless animal, leaning limply against him, and her fingers still caressing his lips as if they were nothing.

Zhou Yanqing smiled slightly, reached out and held her moving hand, pressed it down gently, and said, "It's not suitable, it shouldn't be." ”

"Because of the legs, or whatever?"

"We don't talk about this, we haven't seen each other for so long, you just ask me this, don't you want to say something else?"

The atmosphere between the two became a little ambiguous, and Cheng Xunxun's body still exuded a faint smell of alcohol, obviously she drank more than a little wine.

Cheng Xunxun smiled, turned his head away, his cheeks were slightly red, and said, "What do you want me to say?"

As she spoke, she rested her head on his shoulder, her cheek facing his neck, the warm breath spraying on his neck.

Zhou Yanqing tilted her head slightly, rubbed her chin on her forehead, and said in a low voice, "What do you say?"

There was a different kind of temptation in his tone, Cheng Xunxun raised his eyes, his eyes lit up, and he looked at him without speaking.

Zhou Yanqing tightened her hand, used a little strength, pulled her closer to his arms, put his thin lips on his earlobe, and whispered, "Do you miss me?"

Cheng Xunxun giggled, rubbed his head against his neck, closed his eyes, and said with a smile: "I think, I'm so happy today, after so many days, I'm the happiest today." ”

"Why?" Zhou Yanqing asked knowingly.

"Don't say it. She arched up and drilled into his arms, and the hand that had been around his neck changed its position and hugged his body.

"I just don't say it. ”

Zhou Yanqing smiled, and her cheek was pressed against her face, "Huh, really don't say it?"

Cheng Xunxun just grinned and didn't speak, and the next second, she felt a warmth on her lips, she opened her eyes, kissed him back, and avoided his lips.

Rhetorical question: "Is there anything you want to say to me?"

She learned Zhou Yan's posture, her tone was seductive, and she said word by word.
