Liu Mushan was slightly stunned, a little curious in her heart, and couldn't help but say loudly: "Mom, do you have something to go out?"

Hearing her voice, Liu Ying's face obviously showed a frightened expression, but she quickly covered it up.

Liu Ying pretended to smile calmly and said softly: "You kid, no matter how you walk, there is no movement...... Scared mom. Mom made an appointment today, and she didn't eat at home at noon. ”

Liu Mushan: "......"

Not to mention that she didn't deliberately slow down her steps at all, she was such a big person, and she almost walked in front of Liu Ying before she spoke.

How dedicated did Liu Ying have to think so that she didn't find her all the time?

Liu Mushan couldn't help but purse her lips, the curiosity that had been suppressed these days came up again, and she pretended to laugh and said, "Who did Mom date?

Liu Ying's face changed, and she smiled reluctantly: "This kid, what nonsense are you talking about! That's it...... It's Mrs. Yang next door, we made an appointment to go shopping together......"

Is that so?

Liu Mushan smiled softly.

Liu Ying's lies may be easily seen through by someone who doesn't know her, not to mention Liu Mushan, who has been accustomed to observing her for more than 20 years.

Thoughtfully and deeply glanced at her, Liu Mushan did not debunk it, but nodded with a light smile: "Then you have fun." ”

Liu Ying smiled, didn't say much, and turned to leave.

She didn't know that after she went out, Liu Mushan lightly changed her shoes and went out after her.

Liu Mushan always had a hunch that she might hear something terrible this time.

And Liu Ying's path was really unexpected.

She went all the way to a restaurant that was fairly clean and elegant.

This kind of restaurant...... How can I say it? It is a place where Liu Ying's status and status will never set foot in.

Although there is only a hall, there are some green plants between each seat in the hall, and the seats are designed in the shape of swings, giving people the feeling of being in the deep forest.

The lighting is slightly dim, it is the kind of person who likes to show off his decoration taste and literary feelings to attract customers, and from time to time he puts a discount on various group buying software, and the price is slightly more expensive than that of ordinary restaurants, which is used to decorate ordinary young people with elegance and improve their style.

The legendary influencer restaurant.

And this kind of restaurant has always been the kind of place that teenagers and men who have a bit of literature and art in their hearts.

The real rich don't bother to get involved.

And this time, Liu Ying actually chose such a place.

Liu Mushan felt more and more that something was wrong in her heart, and quietly found a card seat back to back with her after Liu Ying sat down.

The lush greenery in the middle does not hinder the transmission of sound, but it does a good job of blocking the view, which is simply suitable.

Liu Mushan silently ordered a few dishes at random, asked for a cup of tea, and pricked up her ears to quietly listen to the movement next door.

Liu Ying was obviously still waiting for someone, raised her hand and looked at the watch with broken diamonds on her wrist, and her eyebrows showed a little anxiety.

Just as she kept looking at her phone, a shadow suddenly fell around her.

The tall man's figure had been weighed out by the burden of life, and he stood in front of her not far away, and shouted in a low voice with a complicated expression: "Mrs. Lin." ”

Liu Ying's figure stiffened slightly, and it took a while before she lowered her eyes and said in a low voice, "Let's sit down first." ”

Hearing this, Liu Chengsheng obediently sat down opposite her, hanging his head to show the top of his slightly gray hair, and did not speak.

Seeing his performance, Liu Ying's eyes became more and more complicated.

Back then, he was still a young and handsome fitness trainer, exuding the unique vigor and innocence of young people, and he was so well-behaved and obedient every time he was in front of her.

She gave a word and a command, and he made a move, like a loyal little milk dog, his wet eyes full of admiration, but he peeked at her cautiously.

Liu Ying, who was busy recovering her body after giving birth, inevitably had some postpartum depression, once again burned her confidence and lust for herself.

After so many years, the handsome young man has gray hair and countless wrinkles on his face.

He was still wearing the same suit he had worn the last time he saw Liu Mushan—this was already the only outfit he had, the best, that he could wear to meet their mother and daughter.

Obviously, he has not had a good life for more than 20 years, and life has never given him any preferential treatment.

In addition to the wind and frost that the years have stained him, his figure is no longer as powerful as Kong Wu in his memory, and he looks a little older than Liu Ying and even Lin Jinyu.

Even if he originally harbored the anger of Xingshi asking for guilt, seeing Liu Chengsheng's appearance, Liu Ying's eyes couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Whether he admits it or not, he is old.

She...... It's old too.

The man sitting in front of him is the best proof of the passage of time.

Liu Ying paused, felt a little compassion, and pushed the menu in front of her: "Order whatever you want, I'll treat you." ”

Liu Chengsheng plucked up the courage to look at her, and quickly lowered his head.

She's still so good-looking, so high-looking.

Even after so many years, she hasn't changed much except that she is more mature and plump and full of femininity.

This made him, who was originally humble in front of her, feel more and more inferior, his lips moved slightly, and then he pushed the menu back with his rough big hands, and said in a sullen voice: "You order, I'll invite this meal." ”

After a pause, he added: "I can afford it." ”

He had just glanced at the price of the menu, and although it was still a little smack-barred, it was still affordable.

Even if he might finish this meal, he could only rely on steamed buns and pickles for the rest of the month.

But he was always a man.

Even if he had heard Liu Mushan's cry, the goddess who was once perfect in his heart was stained, and he couldn't help but derive hatred and resentment.

But really sitting in front of Liu Ying, looking at her noble and inviolable appearance, he couldn't help but try to straighten his waist and be a real man.

I don't want to be looked down upon by her.

Liu Ying paused slightly, the smile on the corner of her mouth was a little undoubted, and she said slowly and firmly: "If I ask you to order, you will order." ”

She didn't intend to take advantage of Liu Chengsheng.

After all, there was such a past, and Liu Ying still had a little softness towards Liu Chengsheng after all.

chose this restaurant, not only to avoid people she knew, but also because she was bumped into when she entered and exited the restaurant like Liu Mushan did before, but also because she considered Liu Chengsheng's self-esteem to some extent.

This restaurant is already the minimum she can tolerate, and no matter how bad it is, she may not even be able to accept it for a while.

The price is a little higher, Liu Chengsheng is afraid that he can't even afford a pot of tea.

Liu Ying thought that it had not been easy for him over the years, so she might as well leave him some dignity.

In this way, the next conversation can also be more smooth.

Liu Chengsheng was stunned, but he obediently took the menu and ordered the dishes.

It's a habit that's ingrained down in our bones.

He was used to listening to her when she spoke in that tone, no matter what was going on in his heart.

Even if he had only been with her for more than a year, compared to his current life, it was almost nothing to mention.

But this habit has been integrated into the blood and bones, and it is difficult to change.

Especially in the past 20 years, he has become more and more depressed and difficult.

In the difficult life, those beautiful pasts, the only sweet, happy and easy life in his life, have become his only spiritual comfort.

So he reminisced again and again, took it out again and again and chewed it repeatedly, so that to this day, those details are still vivid, as if it were just yesterday.

He quickly ordered a few dishes, and the waiter left with the menu.

Liu Ying was a little stunned, and looked at Liu Chengsheng with some complexity, and then whispered for a while: "You still remember what I like to eat." ”

When she said this, her voice was low, even like a sigh.

She had already discovered when he ordered food, and all the dishes he ordered were her favorite flavors, and even the last drink was a fruit juice she liked.

Liu Ying wanted to interrupt him several times in the middle and told him that he didn't need to do this.

This restaurant is barely enough for her to talk to him here, and she can't even move a chopstick to the food here.

But when she looked up and saw him with a smile and expectation in his eyes, seriously looking for a dish that suited her in this empty gimmicky restaurant menu, she was suddenly speechless.

He seemed to be full of sincerity in front of her eyes again, and he was around her every day, like a clingy little milk dog, and as long as she smiled at him, he could be very happy.

Liu Ying was even a little unclear for a while, whether she still had a little softness for the person in front of her, or whether she was full of emotion about the past period of time, when she was young, and she couldn't help but soften.

Liu Chengsheng didn't seem to see the thousand words in her eyes, this middle-aged man who had already shown his old state, heard this and showed a slightly embarrassed green expression.

He rubbed his hands nervously, and after a while, he said dryly: "I, I always remember ......"

Liu Ying was silent.

She suddenly felt that her next words might be a little cruel to him.

But she had no other choice.

Just like the decision she made twenty years ago, she will not have a second choice twenty years later.

Her life is very good now, Lin Fang is becoming more and more competitive, Liu Mushan is also well-behaved and obedient, and Lin Yu has always respected her.

She lives the life of a wealthy wife, but she doesn't have to be upset about her husband messing around outside like other noble ladies.

Her life is perfect now.

Liu Ying told herself that she could not tolerate anyone's destruction.

So after the waiter brought all the dishes, Liu Ying was silent for a while, then turned the teacup in his hand and said softly: "You...... Why did you come back again?"

Why do you want to go back to Beijing?

Back then, she had tried her best to get him out of Beijing, why did he come back?

Liu Chengsheng paused slightly, and the expression on his face that was full of excitement because he saw her here dimmed, and he said after a while: "Don't you want to see me?"

"You shouldn't have come back. Liu Ying turned her head ruthlessly, not wanting to see his expression, and her voice was cold: "What do you want to do when you come back?" Mu Shan and I are both doing well now, are you here to disrupt the current peace?"
