After ending the call with Xia Ling, Ye Junyuan put away his mobile phone and stood on the cobblestone road in the courtyard, looking at the sky where night had fallen, and a faint condensation appeared on Yingting's eyebrows.

During this time, he had restrained his behavior as much as possible, not touching her, keeping as far away as possible that would not disturb her, and watching her silently.

However, she still wanted to leave, to leave this home, to leave her side.

Was he really, just unbearable for her?

A cold night breeze blew in his face, the trees around him rustled, and a few dead leaves fell in front of his eyes, and finally fell at his feet, shivering slightly in the cold wind.

His heart shook inexplicably, and there was a bit of bitterness in his throat.

Suddenly, I really wanted to see her, I really wanted to ask what she was going to do before she could really come back to herself, and if she needed time to think about herself, he would give her enough patience, whether it was half a year, a year, three years or five years, he could accept it.

As long as she doesn't think about leaving herself anymore.

His heart was tightly grasped by the emotions that invaded like a tide, and he was anxious for a while, eager to see her in the next second.

On the second floor, he walked straight to the door of her room, raised his hand and was about to knock on the door, only to find that the door was hidden.

He grabbed the doorknob and pushed it open and walked in.

Luo Sheng hesitated a little, slowly lowered his eyes, and whispered after a long while: "I want to leave the country temporarily." ”

Xia Ling seemed stunned for a moment, "Why?"

"Because ......" Luo Sheng struggled to organize the language in his heart, and paused for a while before saying: "Because my current situation is a bit special, I want to go abroad to avoid the limelight." ”

She thought, no matter how powerful that Zhou Feng is, it is impossible for him to stretch his claws abroad, right?

"Limelight?" Xia Ling playfully grinded these two words, and said half-jokingly: "Luo Sheng, you won't be targeted by loan sharks, right?"

"......" On some levels, an outlaw like Zhou Feng should be a hundred times more terrible than a loan shark, right?

Xia Ling picked up the cup in front of him, took a sip of tea, and slowly changed the topic, "Speaking of which, there is something I'm a little curious about. ”

Luo Sheng raised his head and looked at him puzzled.

Xia Ling held the teacup and thought about it, and tugged at the corner of her lower lip, "Last time you went to my house, Zhu Jia told me that it was Mr. Ye's two bodyguards who picked you up." ”

Luo Sheng was stunned.

"I also heard that you have moved back to Mr. Ye's house. He lowered his eyes, a trace of gloom flashed under his eyes, but there was still a shallow smile on his lips, "I remember checking with you before, you haven't reunited with Mr. Ye yet, so I don't really understand what your relationship is now." ”

Luo Sheng was short of words for a while, and he was a little weak for some reason, and said: "We really didn't get back together, as for me moving to his house, it's all for a reason......"

Seeing her embarrassed face, Xia Ling was not reluctant, and smiled understandingly, "It's okay, it's inconvenient to say it, forget it, I'm just looking for news with you for my stupid nephew." ”

She was stunned again, "Zhu Jia?...... What's wrong with him?"

Xia Ling sighed and smiled helplessly, "He thought you had reconciled with Mr. Ye, but he was in a bad mood these days, and he got drunk last night and vomited himself, so I went to pick him up in the middle of the night." ”

Luo Sheng was stunned at first, and then showed a guilty look, he didn't know what to say, so he had to apologize, "I'm sorry, I thought I had made it clear to him......"

Xia Ling hurriedly comforted him, "You don't have to take it to heart, he actually understands it in his heart, but he hasn't been able to let go yet, and it will be fine after a while." ”

Having said that, Luo Sheng still couldn't let go, frowning uneasily and tangledly.

Xia Ling chuckled unconsciously when he saw it, and then turned the topic to work, "Okay, I will carefully consider your application and reply to you in two days." ”

Luo Sheng nodded, turned around and went out to do something.

The room returned to its previous silence, Xia Ling looked at the closed door and slowly put down the teacup in his hand.

In the air, there was a crisp crashing sound, accompanied by a soft sigh that he could barely hear.

After getting off work, Xia Ling drove home and took out the key to open the door.

Hearing the sound of unlocking from the entrance, Qiqi, who was lying on the coffee table and drawing, raised his head, hurriedly put on rabbit slippers, and ran to the entrance.

Xia Ling opened the door and came in, and met his son's expectant eyes, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up a smile, and said softly: "Come back so early today." ”

Kiki now attends the same school he attended at the orphanage, and because of the remote location, he usually comes home later than him.

didn't see Luo Sheng's shadow behind him, a touch of disappointment flashed in Qiqi's eyes, but he still replied obediently, "The school has a school sports meeting, there are few games today, and the teacher said that school can be released early." ”

Xia Ling nodded, took out his slippers from the shoe cabinet and changed them, walked over, and touched his little head, "How are you doing at school these days?

"Nope. Qiqi shook his head, thought about it, and said puzzledly: "I don't know why, he recently took a lot of snacks for me to eat, and told me that he would be good friends with me in the future." ”

Xia Ling smiled, "Then do you want to be good friends with him?"

Qiqi was stunned for a moment when asked, stood there and thought about it very carefully, and replied solemnly: "I don't want to, in addition to being nice to me, he is still so bad to other classmates, and today he made Zhang Yingying in our class cry, I don't like him." ”

Xia Ling was amused when he heard this, and couldn't help but take his son into his arms, bow his head and kiss his little cheek, "Since you don't like it, then don't pay attention to him." ”

He had been living abroad before, and his behavior was somewhat stained with the openness over there, and he didn't think it was anything, but Qiqi blushed shyly, although this was his father, but because he rarely acted with people, he was quite uncomfortable and stiffened.

Xia Ling took his hand, the father and son walked to the living room together, the sound of stir-frying came from the kitchen, there was a sweet and sour aroma of pork ribs floating in the air, and the nanny was preparing dinner.

There was a half-painted painting on the coffee table, Xia Ling picked it up and looked at it, it was a family photo, the previous painting was torn, although Luo Sheng helped him glue it, but it was impossible to continue to put it on the exhibition, so the teacher asked Qiqi to draw a picture again.

After measuring it carefully, he pointed to a long-haired girl above and asked, "Is this your mother?"

Qiqi followed his gaze and shook his head, "This is Sister Luo Sheng." ”

Xia Ling was a little surprised, and couldn't help but look at it twice, big black eyes, partial bangs, and a happy smile, at first glance, there were still a few Luo Sheng's characteristics.

He unconsciously hooked the corners of his lips and praised: "The painting is good." ”

Seeing his concentration, Qiqi looked at it silently, seemed to think for a while, and mustered up the courage to ask in a low voice, "Does Dad like Sister Luo Sheng?"

Xia Ling was stunned when he heard this, but he couldn't help but smile, and asked him, "Why do you ask that?"

Qiqi lowered his head, a shy look flashed in his eyes, and his feet kept rubbing on the ground, "Because I like Sister Luo Sheng very much." ”

A child's heart is like this, and what he likes is liked by the people close to him.

"I know. "Luo Sheng has a very good personality and cooks good dishes, there is no one in his family who doesn't like Luo Sheng.

Kiki lowered his eyelids, and his tone added a little loss, "But she hasn't been coming to the house much lately, and even if she does, she's going to leave quickly......" After a pause, he added, "What if...... It would be nice to see her every day. ”

Xia Ling touched his head and reassured him, "Your sister Luo Sheng has her own life, and it is impossible to revolve around our family all the time. But Dad promised you that as long as she was free, I would try to bring her to the house as a guest. ”

Qiqi hummed vigorously, thinking of something, a trace of shyness appeared on his face, and he said in a thin voice, "What if...... If dad is looking for a new mom in the future, I want to ...... It's Sister Luo Sheng. ”

Xia Ling was really shocked by these words, and before he could react, the bathroom that was originally closed was slammed open, and Ding Ding walked out of it violently, clenching his little fist and vigorously objecting, "Then how can it be done! If Sister Luo Sheng becomes our mother, won't Brother Xiaoxi become my brother-in-law? I don't want it, he is my future husband!"

Qiqi's eyes widened, and he retorted weakly: "You and Brother Xiaoxi are not related by blood, even if Sister Luo Sheng is our mother, it doesn't matter, right?"

"Why doesn't it matter?" Ding Ding forked his waist and said solemnly: "This is called incest, which is unreasonable!"

"But...... But ......" Qiqi was for a long time, and wanted to refute, but after all, he couldn't resist the majestic sister, shrunk his neck, and buried his little head deep behind Xia Ling, as a little ostrich.

Ding Ding didn't allow him to avoid it, walked around the coffee table and walked to him, and said with a heartbeat, "Also, doesn't my cousin like Sister Luo Sheng? If Sister Luo Sheng really becomes our mother, what will you let him do in the future? And his father is an old man, he should find an aunt who is as old as him!"

Xia Ling didn't like to hear this, and reprimanded with a straight face, "It's not big or small, Dad, this is called in the prime of life, why is he an old man?"

"Why not, I helped you find a white hair the day before yesterday!"

Xia Ling was stunned when he heard this, and he couldn't cry or laugh, waved his hand, and drove the two children back to the room to do their homework, and then picked up the mobile phone on the coffee table and called Ye Junyuan.

Luo Sheng's matter, he was really embarrassed, next to Ye Junyuan's feelings, he couldn't agree to Luo Sheng directly, so he could only leave the decision to Ye Junyuan.

After listening to his words, Ye Junyuan was silent for a while, and only said "I know" and hung up the phone.

Putting the phone back on the coffee table, Xia Ling looked at the screen that had been dimmed, and smiled self-deprecatingly, a little helpless and a little gloomy in his smile.
