, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the shallow marriage! Xu Zhigang thought, Yan Yu also grew up in this orphanage.

The patron of this orphanage is the Cheng family, and now Lu Yan is the head of the Cheng family.

Xu Zhigang's eyes fell on the age of words, one year older than "Xia Xia".

He continued to flip back, there were not many girls adopted that year, only two of the right age, he stared at the names of these two girls, there were no photos on them, not to mention that now that the children have grown up, they have long left the orphanage, and they don't know where they went, and he has to continue to let people find where these two girls are now.

There was a sudden knock on the door of the study, and Xu Zhigang's movements paused slightly.

Xu Yingxia's sweet voice came in from outside the door: "Dad, are you there?"

Xu Zhigang's movements in his hand only paused for a moment, and in the next second, he put away the information in his hand while responding.

Xu Zhigang: "What's wrong?"

Xu Yingxia has been spoiled for a long time, she didn't wait for Xu Zhigang to reply, she opened the door of the study, her smiling face, when her eyes fell on the stack of materials that Xu Zhigang had put away, the smile faded for a moment.

She took a deep breath, lowered her eyes slightly, and when she raised her eyes again, her eyes were curved like crescents, like a melting spring on a snow-capped mountain, clean and thorough.

Xu Zhigang put away his things, raised his eyes to look at her, and saw Xu Yingxia's smiling face, his demeanor was still soft, no matter what, Xia Xia in front of him was not his biological daughter, but he also brought it back with his own hands to raise her, so many years, the relationship between father and daughter is still there.

"Xia Xia, what's wrong?"

Xu Yingxia walked in, she was holding a glass of milk in her hand, wearing a soft skirt, the slippers on her feet fell silently, the whole person was thin and slender, and she looked natural and harmless.

"Mom asked me to bring you milk. ”

Xu Zhigang glanced at the milk, his eyebrows were calm, and his voice was warm: "Where is your mother?"

As he spoke, he reached out and took the milk.

Xu Yingxia smiled: "Mom is downstairs, we went to the mall to buy something today." ”

Xu Zhigang's eyebrows softened: "Has your sister gone?"

"No, she still has an announcement today. ”

"What did you and your mom buy today? Did your mom like that limited edition bag last time and ordered it? If not, you can find a time to go to Paris and see if you can get it for your mom." ”

Xu Yingxia coquettishly: "Do you just buy it for your mother?"

Xu Zhigang smiled: "No money again?" he said, glancing at Xu Yingxia.

Xu Yingxia's eyes were crooked: "Because my mother swiped my card today, I said that I want to be filial to my mother." ”

When Xu Zhigang heard this, his heart warmed, he stared at Xu Yingxia and didn't say anything.

It's just a sigh, Xia Xia, after all, is still a young child, and has been spoiled by his wife since he was a child, although he is arrogant, he has not done anything harmful, and he has never been bad for his wife.

"I didn't have any money, so I swiped my father's card and put it on my account. ”

"Dad, you're so nice. Xu Yingxia hooked Xu Zhigang's arm, and the two walked out together, "Dad, you drank the milk first, Mom is specially warm, after drinking, let's go over again, Mom is trying on clothes, she wants you to see if the clothes look good." ”

"Good. ”

Xu Zhigang raised his head and poured down the milk at a moderate temperature, his mood did not fluctuate, and his Adam's apple moved lightly.

This kid has recently become well-behaved, but she is not indulgent.

Perhaps, she was afraid that she would find her biological daughter and drive her away.

Xu Zhigang never thought of getting rid of her, even if the real Xia Xia came back, whether he recognized it or not, he had to consider his wife's ability to bear it, what he was more afraid of was that he recognized the real Xia Xia coming back, which would only make the whole family embarrassed, and his wife may pay more attention to family affection, after all, one is the daughter she has loved for more than 20 years and placed infinite hopes, and the other is the daughter who has been lost since childhood.

Under such circumstances, the couple felt more guilty for their lost daughter.

Xu Yingxia saw that Xu Zhigang had just finished drinking, so she took the milk from Xu Zhigang's hand, handed it to the maid on the side, and then pulled Xu Zhigang into Xu's mother's cloakroom.

Mother Xu heard the sound of pushing the door, she didn't turn her head, and her voice smiled: "Xia Xia, Mom thinks that the pair of high heels I bought today looks good in you, let's buy two more pairs tomorrow, you, I and Dong'er wear them together, isn't it popular to wear mother-daughter clothes now?"

As she spoke, she took out a jeweled necklace from the box and gestured it at the white neck.

A smile crept into her eyebrows: "Xia Xia, I just tried this necklace again, do you think the accessories look too young?"

"No, it won't. She didn't hear Xu Yingxia's voice, but a male voice with a faint smile, with the richness of the years.

Mother Xu turned around, Xu Zhigang took the necklace from her hand naturally, wrapped it around her neck, and put it on for her slowly.

After so many years of marriage, Xu's mother will still be moved by some small details of Xu Zhigang.

Xu Zhigang smiled and opened his mouth: "It's good-looking, this necklace is very good for you." ”

Mother Xu turned around and looked at herself in the mirror, and Xu Yingxia also praised Mother Xu: "Mom, it's really good-looking, Dad said it, where will it not look good?"

Mother Xu looked at Xu Ying Xia Jiao: "Xia Xia's mouth is so sweet, it's my mother's little padded jacket." She looked at Xu Yingxia, and her smile flowed full, "The happiest thing for my mother is to give birth to you, if I don't have you, my mother doesn't know what to do." ”

Xu Yingxia walked over and hugged Xu's mother, her voice was soft: "So, I will never leave my mother for the rest of my life." ”

Xu Zhigang glanced at Xu Yingxia: "You still have to get married and have children, where can you follow your mother for the rest of your life." ”

Mother Xu didn't like to hear this, she looked at Xu Zhigang dissatisfied: "Why can't Xia Xia accompany me for the rest of her life?" I won't let Xia Xia get married, she wants to marry, just look for it in this city, and when Xia Xia gets married, you can see if there is a new house near their new house, let's buy it there, so that I can often go to see Xia Xia." ”

Mother Xu touched Xia Xia's hair and said with emotion: "It's also your child who is disobedient, how good Ah Yan of the original Lu family is, he loves you again, and he knows the roots, and our two families don't live far away." ”

Xu Yingxia wrinkled her nose, lengthened the tail note, and coquettishly: "Oh, you have forgiven me, let's not talk about the past." ”

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it. Mother Xu held Xu Yingxia's hand and turned her eyes to look at Xu Zhigang, "By the way, is Lu Yan going back to China? Is he still single now? Although, I am reluctant to let Xia Xia be a stepmother, but Xia Xia, this girl, has not let go of Ah Yan for so many years, the two of them have been going around and around for so long, and it is not impossible for them to be together again." ”

When Xu Zhigang heard this, he furrowed his brows, his face was slightly cold, and his majesty unconsciously emanated.

"They are not suitable, Lu Yan came back this time, it was with Yan Yu, Xia Xia's marriage, I will watch it, don't force her to be with Lu Yan anymore. ”

Mother Xu also twisted her eyebrows, what did she want to say.

Xu Zhigang pursed his lips and made a final decision: "This matter is not allowed to be mentioned again, not to mention, Lu Yan is not the Lu Yan of the past, in the past three years, he has changed a lot, if Xia Xia makes him unhappy again this time, it is hard to guarantee that he will do something! Have you forgotten the fact that he drove Xia Xia away a few years ago?"

Mother Xu's tone choked, and in a blink of an eye, she saw Xu Yingxia's expression a little lost, she muttered unhappily: "What can he do? ”

"Returning the favor is not only a way to marry. ”

Xu Zhigang said, looking at Xu Yingxia, his eyes were deep and cold: "Xia Xia, there are many young talents in Dad's company, tomorrow Dad will show you the photos, which one is pleasing to the eye, Dad will arrange for you to meet, Ah Yan has been married, you have missed it, he is no longer suitable for you." ”

Xu Yingxia's smile was a little stiff, but she didn't say anything, just nodded obediently.

There was some anger in his chest.

She held her fingers slowly, and thought sullenly, is she only worthy of the young talents of the company?

Just because she is not biological, her father is only willing to introduce ordinary company management to her, so that even if she gets married, she will not be able to leave the Xu family.

*

The day dawned in London, and the early morning sun broke through the clouds, but the whole city was still foggy, white, and the air was fresh.

This ancient and modern city has royal luxury and rural spring.

The old Cheng Mansion also showed a busy day, and Steward Cheng hadn't personally handled the master's daily life for a long time, but today, he put on the housekeeper uniform again and personally guided those people to prepare breakfast for Lu Yanhe and Yanyu. Lu Yan drinks coffee and soy milk, but in the morning, he usually drinks a cup of black coffee first, with rye bread sliced with Polish smoked sausage; he used to like to drink soy milk and fritters, but after three years, I don't know if there has been any change, Steward Cheng also prepared a traditional English breakfast; Steward Cheng prepared strawberry-flavored milk for Lu Shumu and Xiaoxing, as well as traditional Spanish dim sum fritters, also known as gurros.

In addition to the preparation prepared by Steward Cheng, the chef of the kitchen also made all kinds of breakfast from various countries, after all, Lu Yan was also absent from Cheng Mansion for a while, and when he was not in Cheng Mansion, the chefs did not have the opportunity to show their cooking skills.

Xiaoxing and Lu Shumu led them and walked downstairs.

She blinked her pretty eyes when she saw the long table of breakfast desserts, and the maids saw the little lady of the house for the first time, smiling and bending their eyes, looking at her with affection.

Little Star smiled sweetly, and there was a small pear vortex looming on her lips.

She asked softly, "Brother Shumu, do you have breakfast at home, are there so many people every day?"

"Hmm. Lu Shumu nodded.

Little Star: "It's more varied than the food table in my school cafeteria." ”

Lu Shumu: "...... Well. ”

Steward Cheng saw the little star, bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "Good morning." ”

Xiaoxing was not afraid of life, and curiously went over and held Steward Cheng's hand, and she said in a little milky voice: "Grandpa Housekeeper, good morning." ”

Steward Cheng lowered his eyes, looked at Xiaoxing holding his hand, and the smile on his lips froze.

After a while, Lu Yan also came down, and after Lu Yan, it was a metaphor, there was no expression on the faces of the two people, one after the other, there was no communication and dialogue.

Little Star sat on the chair, already drinking milk, her lovely lips were all white milk foam, and she smiled: "Mom, uncle, good morning." ”

Yan Yu sat next to Little Star, and Lu Yan sat next to Lu Shumu.

Xiaoxing leaned into the ear of the word and asked softly, "Mom, there is a lot of food at my brother's house." ”

She thought she was saying something very quietly, but in fact, the maid next to her and Steward Cheng heard it, and she curled her lips: "Yes." ”

Little Star likes to eat, the chefs are standing in a row next to them, Little Star's spoon is wandering, I don't know which plate it lands, she raised her eyes, looked at the chefs, and she will meet the expectant and eager eyes of the chefs, so she simply tasted most of the things on the plate, and she was satisfied to see the happy eyes of the chefs.

As chefs, the happiest thing is that their food is welcomed, and they can't help but have a good impression of this little lady.

If you don't look at Lu Yan in words, it doesn't mean that Lu Yan doesn't look at words.

He was wearing a white shirt and black trousers, his expression seemed cold, but his eyes were undulating, and there was a heavy stone accumulation on his chest, and it was difficult to breathe.

The lines of his face were tensed, and in his dark eyes were indescribable guilt and pain.

He wanted to say something, but his throat was full of glass shards, and before he could open his mouth, he was already filled with rusty blood.

Lu Shumu was sensitive, and he sensed that something was wrong between the two adults.

He raised his eyes and looked at Lu Yan quietly.

Lu Yan also followed his gaze, sideways his eyes, when he saw Lu Shumu, he had such a strong sense of happiness for the first time, fortunately Lu Shumu was still there, if it wasn't for Lu Shumu, if Lu Shumu was no longer there, a strong feeling surged in his heart - words must not have anything to do with him.

His heart was empty, a little frustrated, he really had a big face back then, and he actually felt that Yan Yu liked him so much, and the words he said back then were now a hot slap on his heart and lungs mercilessly.

The lines on the back of Lu Yan's hand stiffened, and the flames in his chest slowly burned and gained momentum. For the first time, he felt so strongly that some parents had been doing hurtful things in the name of love. He couldn't imagine why his mother was so ruthless that she treated words like this.

The truth had been solved for the most part, but he was nervous and scared of the rest of the truth.

He hooked his lips self-deprecatingly, and he really went back the more he lived.

After eating, Lu Shumu invited Xiaoxing to visit Cheng's house, Cheng's house is very large, and there are many places specially opened for children, Lu Yan let a few bodyguards follow behind.

Lu Shumu said to him: "Let's go to the sports field." ”

Yan Yu smiled: "Okay." ”

She squatted down, looked at Lu Shumu at eye level, her eyes flashed slightly, her eyes didn't know why, they became hot all of a sudden, she didn't dare to blink, she was afraid that tears would fall suddenly.

Her eyes scanned Lu Shumu's facial features inch by inch, and her chest ached.

She suddenly stretched out her hand and hugged Lu Shumu, tightly, and the strength in her hand increased inch by inch.

Lu Shumu's body was a little stiff, and after a while, he slowly hugged Yan Yu back.

Yan Yu closed her eyes, her eyelashes fluttered, she was happy to find Lu Shumu back, but now the pain that tore her heart had already covered up all the pain.

Xiaoxing's original smile slowly disappeared the moment she saw her mother sad.

She wrinkled her brows, pursed her lips, pursed her lips, and suddenly felt a little sad, tears swirled in her eyes, she ran over, hugged Yan Yu, and shouted with a crying voice: "Mom!"

The tears that had been withheld for a long time finally fell.

Dripping on the skin of Lu Shumu's exposed neck, he trembled almost invisibly, pursed the corners of his lips tightly, and buried his head in the neck socket of words.

Little Star's hand rubbed Yan Yu's eyes indiscriminately: "Mom, what's wrong with you? Don't cry, Little Star doesn't like to see you cry...... Don't you cry, okay?......"

Yan Yu didn't speak, and she was afraid that as soon as she opened her mouth, she couldn't help choking.

Lu Yan stood aside, his long body was jade, his face was gloomy, his eyes were dark, the whirlwind under his eyes was everywhere, and the flames were sweeping, and he stared at the three people who were hugging tightly.

And his figure, dragging a long dark shadow on the ground, is lonely and lonely.

He didn't dare to disturb the three of them, as if the three of them were one world, and he had long been excluded, he was just a loner.

Lu Yan asked Steward Cheng to go down, and the servants slowly retreated, and in the entire restaurant, there was only a family of four left.

Lu Yan slowly squatted down, he stretched out his hand and hugged the little star into his arms, his dark eyes stared at the little star, focused and meaningful.

Little Star cried so much that her eyes and nose were red, and there were teardrops on her long eyelashes, which made her look pitiful.

She stumbled and said, "Uncle Lu, you go to comfort your mother, and your mother is crying." ”

Lu Yan's throat moved slightly, his thin lips pursed into a straight line without arc, he continued to stare at the little star, and spoke very seriously, his voice was hoarse: "Little star, you ...... Do you remember Dad?"

"Daddy?" the little star paused as she rubbed her eyes, "I don't remember." ”

Lu Yan clenched his fists, his voice was difficult, and he didn't know where to start.

"You see, our eyes are the same color. ”

Little Star sobbed, blinked, and looked at Lu Yan's eyes seriously, she nodded: "I know, because we are all Chinese, the teacher said, Chinese's eyes are black." ”

Lu Yanliang was speechless for a long time, the tension in his heart was about to exceed the load, he calmed down for a while, and said directly: "I'm your father, you forgot me, right, but, it's okay, Dad will slowly remind you of me." ”

Small children have a very short memory.

Lu Yan reminded her: "Do you remember that Dad gave you a mobile phone before? Dad asked you to call me, we often call......" He also wanted to say more things, but when he said it, he found that the relationship between him and Xiaoxing was actually very short and pale, and there was almost nothing worth mentioning again.

Phone?

As soon as he talked about the phone, Xiaoxing remembered that she knew that she had a phone before, but then she lost it, and she could never find her father again.

However, Uncle Lu suddenly said that he was her father.

Little Star didn't know how to react for a moment, she was a little at a loss, and her body stiffened.

Uncle Lu...... It turns out that his father is Uncle Lu...... She felt a little disappointed, but she also felt a little happy.

She remembers...... Mom used to be unhappy with Dad.

Xiaoxing was originally holding Lu Yan's hand, but suddenly shrank back: "Uncle Lu, I'm ...... I didn't know you were Dad, I'm going to ask Mom. ”

To be honest, Little Star's reaction was unexpected by Lu Yan.

Because Xiaoxing is innocent, kind, and very warm, Lu Yan always thought that she would quickly accept the fact that he was his father, and even that she should be a daughter who would give him a heartwarming reaction.

But unexpectedly, Little Star flinched.

Lu Yan had never been so soberly aware of how failed he was.

Yan Yu heard the conversation between Lu Yan and Xiaoxing, she hugged Lu Shumu, and refused to let go of her hand for a long time, she didn't know what kind of reaction Lu Shumu would have when she told Lu Shumu about their relationship.

She was silent and just wanted to speak, but Lu Shumu's somewhat muffled voice sounded first: "I know, you are my mother." ”

Yan Yu only felt that her thoughts suddenly broke, and there was something in the deep sea of thoughts, which exploded, making her unable to think and respond, which was a possibility that she had thought about thousands of times and had never thought of.

Her heart was beating at an unbearable rate.

Who was holding her throat so tightly that it was hard for her to breathe.

Lu Shumu seemed to guess her question, and replied directly: "It's not my father who told me, I know it myself." ”

How he knew, he didn't say, and words couldn't guess.

But how she knows, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that she listened to Lu Shumu's tone, and she didn't seem to have the slightest complaint, nor did she have the slightest dissatisfaction.

Yan Yu held Lu Shumu's shoulder, making him slightly distance from herself, she stared at him carefully, as if she had lost the ability to organize language, she could only ask repeatedly, "Do you know that I am your mother?"

"Hmm. "His dark eyes are as pure as snow.

“…… Don't you blame me?"

When Lu Shumu heard this, he shook his head, nodded again, and in the end, he shook his head, and he said softly: "Strange, but I want my mother more." ”

In just such a short sentence, the hearts of the two adults were dragged into the abyss.

In the chest, the sour water is filling with it, and the concentration is getting deeper, corroding the wound that has already rotted.

"I'm sorry I didn't protect you. ”

Lu Shumu pursed the corners of his mouth, his eye circles were also red, and a little red bloodshot appeared in his black and white eyes.

The hatred in his chest is slowly climbing to the top.

If it weren't for Zhou Yun, if it wasn't for Steward Cheng, if it wasn't for Lu Yan, if it wasn't for her...... Lu Shumu and her would not have been forced to separate for three years.

She didn't want to return to China, but her eyelashes fluttered and there was a chill in her eyes.

Why can those people live comfortably when they have done something wrong?
