Chapter 223: A Great Gift for You

Luo Xiaotian came back, brought the heroine's mother, and found out who was the one who hit the bean bag.

Duan Jingchen reached out and touched my forehead and said, "The fever is gone, just rest more." ”

I looked up at him.

Duan Jingchen is a head and a half taller than me, so he looks like this, his eyes are slightly drooping, his face is faintly smiling, and he asks, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, I just want to see you. I said, looking away.

The weather is getting hotter and the sun is scorching outside. The distance between me and Duan Jingchen was too close, which made me feel very uncomfortable, so I turned around and walked to the window.

"When you're all right, come back to my house with me. This time the marriage proposal, everyone knows that it is serious and counting, so I want to meet you. Look, is that okay?" he asked.

I stared out the window at the lively Yueji next to the fence and said, "Okay, but can your family accept bean bags?"

"Compared with the previous resolute non-marriage, blind date and home, as long as I am willing to get married, they don't care who they marry. What's more, the whole family also knows that it was because of you and I that I came back to take over the company. However, there are happy and unhappy things about it. When I come back, the cousins probably won't be too happy. ”

I have a general understanding of the situation in Duan Jingchen's family, and I know that he has many cousins. Only his father was for his career, as long as he had one child.

"So, after I marry you, there will be no shortage of open swords and secret guns, right?" I asked.

He smiled and asked, "Are you afraid of this?"

I shook my head and said, "Of course I'm not afraid, it's just that there are bean bags now, and bean bags have had a series of accidents recently, I'm really scared." ”

"Don't worry, in the future, I will protect the bean bag, and I will do my best to make him safe and give you peace of mind. Duan Jingchen said this, stretched out his arm and wanted to hug me. Naturally, I could see what he wanted to do, so I subconsciously avoided it.

The smile on Duan Jingchen's face disappeared, he coughed lightly, and smiled to hide the past.

All of a sudden, I wondered, how much did I love to smile to get to the point where I couldn't accept other men? I didn't even give much to him when we were together, or did I just feel deeply guilty about him now? Or did I just fall in love with how he loved me?

The mind is in turmoil.

Duan Jingchen arranged a time to visit his parents a week later. He drove the car, and I sat in the back with Doubao.

Doubao knew what he was going to do, and he was a little nervous, and when he was halfway there, he suddenly said, "Mom, isn't marriage a matter of two people? Why do you want to go to their house?"

I smiled: "Doubao, if you get married in the future, will you bring your wife to me?"

He thought for a moment and said, "Definitely, I'll let my mom know who I like." ”

Duan Jingchen also smiled when he heard his words, and asked, "Do you have anyone you like in Doubao?"

Doubao blushed and immediately said, "Of course, I like Xiaobei in our class the most, she is the most beautiful, the cutest, and the smartest." ”

I was also amused by him, I didn't know that Doubao actually had someone I liked.

Originally, the atmosphere was a bit calm, and as soon as the bean bags were so interrupted, the car became happy.

I met most of Duan Jingchen's family during the Spring Festival, so the meeting went smoothly. On the surface, the whole family is nice to me, very accommodating, very kind and friendly. Especially Duan Jingchen's grandmother, she took a green jade bracelet from her hand on the spot and wanted to give it to me.

I quickly stood up and said to her, "Thank you, grandma, this is too valuable, I really can't ask for it." ”

"This is for my eldest grandson and daughter-in-law, don't let me give it to anyone. The old lady said.

I looked at Duan Jingchen's other family members, they didn't seem to be surprised by the old lady's move, and his sister-in-law said, "Give it to you, unless you don't really want to marry us." This precious old lady said early in the morning that it would only be passed on to the eldest son and grandson of her family. We're all hungry, and if we don't take it, I'll take it. ”

She got to this point, and I had to take it.

The old lady smiled happily: "I will pass it on to my eldest great-granddaughter-in-law in the future." ”

I chuckled in my heart, she wanted me to give birth to Duan Jingchen. But I told him a long time ago, only one bean bag.

Duan Jingchen saw that my face changed slightly, and immediately pulled his grandmother's arm and said, "Let's talk about it in the future, in case we can't give birth to a son, I'll return the bracelet to you." ”

"That's not good, what you send out, you can't get it back. The old lady smiled and said, "You are still young, and you will give birth slowly, and you will always give birth to a son." ”

My face was visibly unsightly.

The old lady saw the bean bag next to her, and immediately said, "Isn't there a ready-made one, and the daughter-in-law who will give the bracelet to the bean bag in the future will be the same." ”

Bean Bao smiled.

At this time, several cousins-in-law of their family began to laugh and said, "Grandma is just eccentric." ”

"Okay, that's it for today, we have something to do in the afternoon, so let's go first. Duan Jingchen was also obviously unhappy.

After he finished speaking, he whispered to his grandmother, "I'll come back another day to see you alone." ”

Duan Jingchen pulled me out with the bean bag. I asked him a little worriedly, "Is it okay for you to do this? It's all a family, so there's no need to make a mess of face." ”

"Everyone is talking about face, who cares. Today I deliberately did this, let them know that you are my person, and it is not okay for others to gossip more. Duan Jingchen took a deep breath and said, "I have to turn the project in my hand quickly, otherwise I will be scolded by them insinuatingly." ”

His life wasn't as simple as I thought.

This time I met my parents, and it was a smooth one.

However, I suddenly remembered that his parents were not there, and immediately asked, "Where are your parents?"

"My dad was on a business trip in Shanghai, and it was said that he was going to negotiate with a few real estate developers to develop a piece of land. My mother also went to socialize with him. Duan Jingchen said, "However, I said about our affairs, and they have no opinion." It's the same when I get back. ”

"Oh. I answered.

Actually, I still feel very strange in my heart, and I always feel that there is something wrong with what Duan Jingchen said.

After we came out of his house, he hugged the bean bun and asked with a smile, "What do you want to eat, I'll take you there." ”

"Uncle Duan, I came to meet your parents with my mother today, not for food. I also took a day off for this. "The bean bag is small, but I can understand the meaning of the words. He had seen it all and knew that his family didn't seem to welcome me.

"I know, today is just a formality, and in the future, my uncle will accompany you and your mother to spend the rest of my life. And him, I can't even see him a few times a year, so I don't have to worry too much. Today's main thing to see is grandma, what do you think grandma is doing to you?" Duan Jingchen said patiently.

To be honest, most of the time I was able to agree to his marriage proposal was based on his attitude towards bean bags. Duan Jingchen is very patient with bean bags, and even more patient than me at times. Moreover, in terms of work style, he is also very manly and masculine, so Doubao has been with him for a long time, and he is not so feminine, and he is a bit of a boy.

Thinking of this, I smiled self-deprecatingly in my heart. What am I, the purpose of remarrying is to find a father for the child?

I ate something casually at noon, and I ordered wilting.

Duan Jingchen didn't say anything, and drove us away directly after the meal. I thought he was sending me home, and I was really a little mentally ill today, so I sat in the back seat for a while and looked at the bracelet in my hand with his grandmother's expectation and actually fell asleep.

When I opened my eyes, I saw that the car was parked in the basement.

"Where is this?" I asked.

He smiled, "I'll show you something." ”

He mysteriously hugged the bean bag and said to me, "Follow me." ”

From birth to now, Duan Jingchen should be the one who has hugged him the most.

When I got on the elevator, I realized that this was the apartment where he lived alone.

After opening the door, Doubao stepped on the brown carpet with bare feet, and said happily: "Uncle Duan, your house is so clean." ”

I was blackened by the bean bag.

There are too many things in our house, even if Aunt Wang cleans it up, it doesn't look as refreshing as Duan Jingchen's here. Doubao's words made me feel a little embarrassed, and I smiled and said: "Uncle Duan is from a military background, and what he hates most is that there are too many decorations in the house, so it's better to have only one bed and one table." Isn't that right?"

Duan Jingchen smiled when he heard me ask, beckoned to Doubao and said, "Doubao, come here." ”

Bean Bao trotted to him, Duan Jingchen opened the door of the low cabinet, took out a large gift box and handed it to him, and said, "Look, do you like it?"

Doubao has recently become obsessed with the Divine Turtle, and Duan Jingchen gave him a set of genuine Divine Turtle dolls, and I took a look at it and it was 1 to 18.

"Come here, too. Duan Jingchen saw that the bean bun was playing and said to me.

"You gave me a gift too. I said, smiling and walking with him into the next bedroom.

However, I was afraid that he would mess around, so I deliberately distanced myself from him.

Duan Jingchen glanced back at me and opened the door of the wardrobe.

When I saw what was hanging in the closet, I covered my mouth and almost screamed.

"Look at the look in your eyes, I know you like it, right? Duan Jingchen smiled proudly.

There are three gauze dresses hanging in his closet, which I saw when I accompanied Qiao Jian to pick out wedding dresses almost a year ago, and he bought all three sets of those I liked.

"How do you know?" I asked.

"I know you've chosen it, and I know you've tried a few of them, and I can tell you like them. As soon as you left that day, I bought it. This dress has been hanging in the cabinet for almost a year. When I see this, I think of what you look like when you put it on. I thought it would never be possible for anyone to wear it. His eyes darkened for a moment, then brightened again, and he looked at me and asked, "Do you still like it?" If you don't like this style anymore, let's choose it again." ”

"Isn't it a bit quick to get married now? I said.

"Not now, I'm planning to do it in a month and a half. Duan Jingchen smiled, "Do you like the wedding Chinese or Western, are we big or small?" I'm just setting a date now, and I'd like to discuss the details with you. ”

He was used to asking for my opinion, but this time he made this decision without telling me beforehand.

"The date of the wedding cannot be changed, everything else is fine. Duan Jingchen saw what I wanted to say, and said it immediately.

I smiled.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"You're so anxious. I said.

"I used to be able to endure and wait, but now I can't. I'm going to get married, so it's too early or late. Duan Jingchen said with a smile.

I discussed the wedding with him, as if it were a family meeting.

I think about everything he says, and then I say yes or no. Doubao dismantled the toys in the living room, got a toy box and put it on his body and pretended to be Superman, and had a lot of fun. Duan Jingchen and I were in the bedroom, and we easily finalized the details of the wedding.

I said that the wedding didn't matter, he said that he was going to have a wedding, no matter how big or small, there must be a ceremony, and I finally said yes. He asked if it was Western or Chinese, I thought about it for a while, I said Western style, no toast glass, he didn't say much and agreed with me, and directly put a tick on the notebook.

I don't know what I'm doing, when I discussed this with Duan Jingchen, there was basically no fluctuation in my heart, and I had a feeling of how many years I had known each other.

When Si Jianlian and I got married, where did the sweet feeling in my heart tremble? Is there really only one marriage?

Inexplicably, I thought of Gu Yixiao. How would I feel if he were the one sitting across from me right now, deliberating with me about how to get married?

And just like that, everything was settled.

I watched the sunset shine through the window on Duan Jingchen opposite me, and for a moment, I felt unreal.

Duan Jingchen's appearance has nothing to say, his posture is quite straight, and although his facial features are tougher, he is full of masculinity. And because he used to be a soldier, the muscles on his body are also very beautiful. If you only look at the appearance, Duan Jingchen is really more than enough for me.

But do I want a perfect body?

Perhaps, this kind of marriage that starts usually is the best, because you have nothing to expect, so it can be more stable and lasting.

But do I need such a marriage?

……

After a while, a voice in my heart said, "You don't need it, your son needs it." ”

I suddenly laughed and looked at Duan Jingchen and smiled.

He looked up at my expression and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" Why do you keep looking at me?"

"You're good-looking, I want to see it a little longer. I said.

Duan Jingchen smiled and showed his neat snow-white teeth, and said to me, "I will have time to see it in the future." ”

I smiled, but he stood up and walked around to me, leaning down and giving me a quick kiss on the cheek.

Duan Jingchen is really a very responsible man, after asking for my request for the wedding, he arranges everything by himself, basically without doing anything.

In less than a month, he told me that he was almost ready.

It was at this time that I received a call from Duan Jingchen's mother.

"Is it Tao Ran?" she asked over the phone.

I saw that it was a call from an unknown number, and asked politely, "Who are you?"

"I am Duan Jingchen's mother. She said.

I hurriedly called my aunt and asked, "You are looking for me, what's the matter?"

She paused slightly and said, "You and Jingchen are about to get married, so you have to meet my mother-in-law." ”

I was taken aback, this was obviously to ask for guilt, and immediately smiled: "The last time I went to your house, Jing Chen said that you were in Shanghai, and said that I would see you when you came back." ”

"Huh. She smiled on the phone, "Now, I'm in Beijing, and it's in the tea restaurant opposite your KB Building, you come to me." ”

I put down the phone and smelled gunfire in her words.

Originally, I wanted to call Duan Jingchen to ask about it, but as soon as I thought that if I let Duan Jingchen know, I wouldn't be able to talk to his mother alone, so I immediately deleted the number I dialed out.

I need to talk to his mom alone before I get married.

There was a nice tea restaurant on the thirteenth floor of the building opposite, and I called Duan Jingchen's mother after I walked in, and then we met smoothly.

She looked me up and down a few times, and said with a smile: "The rumors are not bad, saying that you are beautiful, and you are sure that you are good-looking." ”

"Thank you. I smiled at her.

I can understand that she is hostile, all the mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law in the world are enemies, and some of them look very good, and that's because it's not the time for hostility.

"Jing Chen likes you very much and loves you very much. So much so that our whole family knew early on that he would not marry any other woman except you. Duan Jingchen's mother said.

The people in their family are not the ones who say so. So I feel like I'm quite famous in their house.

However, what Duan Jingchen didn't know was that when he said a word, he set me up as an enemy of their family.

"I know this, otherwise I wouldn't be married. I said.

"But there's one thing you may not know. She looked at me, took a sip of fruit tea and continued, "Our whole family is grateful to you, especially his dad and me. If it weren't for you, he would have been in the army for the rest of his life. Although his position is not low, his ability is also good. However, we still hope that he will take over the business. Now, we neither approve nor oppose his marriage to you. In the future, you who live with him will not be us. But he doesn't even want you to know about it. I think it's a bit excessive, so I'm going to reveal it. ”

I analyzed her words, and after a while, asked, "You want me to repent of my marriage?"

"That's your understanding, and I don't mean that. By asking you out, I am saying thank you. She said.

This was different from what I expected, and I thought she had asked me to come out for a private meeting because I was strongly opposed to it.

She smiled when she saw my stunned appearance and said, "If I have to say the conditions, I hope Jingchen has a child of his own." However, we can't do this thing. Go to y. ”

After saying the last sentence, she stood up with a smile: "Wait a minute, Jingchen will probably call you, and then ask you to go to my house tomorrow." ”

"You're looking for me?" I said.

"Just to show gratitude. She said.

This reason is a bit inexplicable, but I have to believe it, because after saying that, she actually left.

I walked back to the company, and as soon as I entered the elevator, Duan Jingchen's phone arrived.

"Tao Ran, have you had time in the past two days, my parents are back and want to see you. He said.

"You arrange the time, I'll go. I said, "There's time." ”

Before the words fell, the elevator reached the floor where I worked, the elevator door opened, and I walked out. As soon as I got out of the elevator, I saw Liu Shuang holding a folder anxiously waiting for me.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

When she saw that it was me, she almost ran across the distance of a few meters, came to me and whispered, "Mr. Tao, there is a gentleman who claims to be Luo Xiaotian and a lady is waiting for you in the office." I wanted to stop him, but he said he was yours......"

"I know, don't worry, I'll go. I interrupted her.

Liu Shuang looked at me with some surprise, she didn't expect me to admit it.

After taking a few steps, I thought of one more thing, stopped and said to Liu Shuang: "Try not to talk about this matter first, I hope only you know." ”

"Hmm. Although Liu Shuang was stunned, he nodded vigorously.

I stood outside the office door and took a deep breath, and said to myself in my heart, "Tao Ran, it's okay, the most he brought is your mother." ”

However, when I pushed open the office door, I was still a little apprehensive.

The door opened, and there were two people sitting on the sofa inside, one was Luo Xiaotian, whom I knew, and the other was a woman I didn't know.

She was about fifty years old, or younger. At first glance at her face, she is the kind of family that is well-off and well-maintained. Her hair was shoulder-length, slightly curly, and dyed chestnut colored. The skin is fair, and the eyes are very bright, but there is a faint sadness in the bottom of the eyes.

When she saw me, her eyes immediately turned red. And her facial features make me look at it with a very familiar feeling. I know that this familiarity is called kinship.

"Tao Ran, this is your mother. Luo Xiaotian looked at me and said, "She has been looking for you all her life, and she finally saw you." ”

I stared at the two of them, originally impassive. However, I don't know if it was because I had been staring at them for so long that my eyes were a little sour, and I couldn't help but burst into tears.

The woman kept looking at me, her eyes a little straight.

"Tao Ran, we came today either to ask for your forgiveness, or to see you. Luo Xiaotian said again.

It was like something was blocked in my throat, and I couldn't make a sound.

It turns out that these are my parents.

It turns out that they look like this.

It turned out that they ......

I didn't know what I was supposed to think, and I couldn't take my eyes back on the two of them.

The woman across from me was crying so hard that her tears were dripping down in strings. As I watched, tears piled up in my eyes.

"Tao Ran, is that your current name?" the woman asked cautiously.

I hummed, hoarse.

"I know you should hate us. She spoke slowly, her voice hoarse, "When your father said he found you, I didn't believe it. I've been looking for you for thirty-five years, and I haven't heard from you at all. ”

As I listened to her, my heart churned like the waves. I thought that one day, Luo Xiaotian would come to me again, but I never thought that he would bring my mother directly to me.
