Chapter 17: Face to face
Sister Li and Xiao Liu are not there. No one made breakfast. Ran Xixi stayed up in the room until seven o'clock. When I was confused. A mouthful of stomach acid welled up. She almost threw up.
After gargling. Touched his twitching stomach. She went downstairs to make breakfast.
Fortunately. There was a wide variety of ingredients in the fridge. There is also a wide range of semi-finished products. For example, quick-frozen dumplings, custard buns and the like. You can eat it with a simple heat.
Ran Xixi took a few custard packets and threw them into the rice cooker. Then I ordered myself a small bowl of green vegetable noodles. Two small pickles were served. Just brought to the table. She saw that Zhan Xingchuan was also cleaned up. Walked down.
He glanced at breakfast on the table. See that there is no own. I walked straight into the kitchen. I also cooked locally.
Ran Xixi ignored him. She admitted. I was cooking noodles just now. In fact, there was a little hesitation. After all, boiling noodles is the easiest. It's just a small extra handful. can bring out the amount of a person.
But. She ended up being her own. Put the noodles back in. But she kept a few greens. It is washed.
Sure enough. It didn't take a few minutes. Zhan Xingchuan walked out. It is also a bowl of green vegetable noodles in his hand. The greens floating in the noodle bowl. It was after Ran Xixi had washed it. Place it on the cutting board.
He sat down. Eat noodles with a stuffy head. Occasionally raise your head. Use chopsticks to pick up a few pieces of pickles. Eat the noodles in a big bite.
Two people sit opposite each other. The scene of one person eating a bowl of noodles. Whoever sees it. None of them will believe that this is the life of a rich man. But. And that's exactly what happened.
The last custard bun. The two people are almost sticking out chopsticks together. They were all stunned for a moment.
Zhan Xingchuan didn't pay attention. As soon as I saw that there was only one left. He immediately withdrew his chopsticks. "I didn't even notice that there was only one left." Otherwise, I wouldn't have stretched out my chopsticks. You eat it. ”
Ran Xixi also retracted his hand. His eyebrows were cold: "Your chopsticks have touched." I don't want to eat. ”
After speaking. She picked up her own dishes and chopsticks. I got up and went to the kitchen.
Zhan Xingchuan raised an eyebrow. Put down the chopsticks. Grab the last custard bun with your hands. Pinch it twice hard. Stuff it in your mouth. He chewed hard. It seems to be venting the dissatisfaction in his heart.
Packed up my things. The two of them went out to pick up Rui Jue.
Adult business. After all, children should not be involved. What's more, Zhan Ruijue is still young. If only he knew. His father asked him to do paternity tests with different women three times and twice. It must have been a big blow to his weak mind. So. Zhan Xingchuan and Ran Xixi discussed it. Just say take him out to play. Don't mention anything about paternity testing. Before you know it, it's done. That's the best.
Along. Ran Xixi has always refused to have any verbal communication with Zhan Xingchuan.
She looked out the window with a blank face. No matter how much he tried to stir up the conversation. She wouldn't answer. It's as if you didn't hear it.
to the end. Zhan Xingchuan could only shut his mouth in discouragement.
Arrived at the Zhan family's mansion. Zhan Ruijue was already waiting in the open space in front of the building. Because I know I'm going to go out and play. So he dressed up very handsomely. Small hats, small trench coats. Live off the image of a handsome guy.
Handsome men and beautiful women. Plus a cute treasure. Such a trio. Where to go. It's all very eye-catching.
He only drank half a glass of milk. I coaxed for a long time. I ate two more cookies. Said that Dad was going to take him to eat KFC. Be sure to leave your tummy room out. ”
Sister Li said helplessly. Then put Zhan Ruijue's small schoolbag on his back.
Every time you go out. He would carry a small bag by himself. It contained his own water bottle, tissues, and other small belongings. Ran Xixi thinks. It's a good habit. She has seen a lot of babies in Europe. People are not yet big. Just learned to walk. I started carrying my own things. I won't let an adult carry it casually.
"I don't remember that I promised to take you to KFC. Did I say that. ”
Zhan Xingchuan looked puzzled. Turned his head to look at Ran Xixi.
She still ignored it. But. looked at Zhan Ruijue's expectant expression. Ran Xixi cleared his throat. He replied with his eyes open and said, "Yes." You don't remember what you said. What a good dad. ”
The latter sentence. She deliberately made up the knife. The purpose is to fight the river in one go.
"Oh. Just go. ”
Zhan Xingchuan stretched out his big hand. Gently pushed it on the back of Zhan Ruijue's head. muttered in a low voice, "Stinky boy." Not eating well. Doesn't grow tall. Not handsome. Look whose little girl is blind and willing to marry you. ”
Zhan Ruijue snorted twice. I don't know if he understood Zhan Xingchuan's words. In a word. He climbed into the car with his hands and feet. He also patted the vacant seat next to him. Signaled Ran Xixi not to sit in front of the co-pilot. Come and sit with yourself.
on this. Ran Xi Xi can't ask for it.
She would rather hide behind with Zhan Ruijue and bite her ears. I don't want to see Zhan Xingchuan's face. Just look at it and get angry.
Two people sat in the back of the car. Zhan Xingchuan started the car. First stop. Naturally, it's still that restaurant. Zhan Ruijue's stubbornness. Basically, it can enter the forefront of the country.
The car was moving smoothly. Ran Xixi thought about it. A box was pulled out of the bag. Open it. Inside was a jade pendant tied with a red rope.
She unfastened the clasp. Gently put it on Zhan Ruijue's neck. Then help him correct the position of the jade pendant. Keep it right in the middle of your chest. Although the jade pendant was very cold at first. But it sticks to the skin for a while. It becomes extremely warm. Zhan Ruijue found it interesting. He desperately lowered his head. Touch it with your hand from time to time. Very curious.
"This piece of jade. I wore it from birth. Later, for a while. I thought I'd never see it again. It's sad too. Outcome. It's back in my hands. Right now. I'll give it to you. It will always bless you. Make everything that is rightfully yours. Lost or missed. will be in the near future. It's all back to you. ”
After speaking. Ran Xixi gently pinched Zhan Ruijue's little fat face. Looked at him and smiled.
This piece of jade has always been worn on Ran Xixi's neck. But after the Manhattan explosion. When she woke up. I never saw it again. Much later. She had already arrived in Paris. Work under Bonnie Kerrs. Once he went to Italy for a meeting. She didn't go with her. And when he returns. He personally handed the jade to her.
"Someone asked me to give it back to you. She said. This should be something that is important to you. So hesitated. Let me pass it on to you. I hope you can forgive her. She doesn't covet the preciousness of things. Just under the circumstances of the time. It had to be taken away. ”
Recovered. Nature is precious.
Ran Xixi thought about it for a long time. She really wanted to give Zhan Ruijue something. But he has lacked nothing since he was a child. Except for this one. She really didn't have anything to handle.
Thereupon. She was ruthless. left him this jade pendant, which was probably hanging around her neck when she was born.
Significant.
"The moon. Moon. ”
Zhan Ruijue pinched the jade pendant. I watched it for a long time. shouted excitedly.
Truly. The shape of the jade pendant. It's like a full moon. A faint glow without any artificial embellishment. Hold it in your hand. With the warmth and delicacy unique to jade itself.
When I first went abroad. Not long. A strong sense of loneliness triumphs over novelty. There were so many nights when I couldn't sleep. Ran Xixi is like Zhan Ruijue now. Hold it tightly with your hands. Force yourself to close your eyes.
"yes. Like the moon. The moon is sometimes crooked. Sometimes it's round. When you bend. Don't be in a hurry. In a few more days. It's going to be round. It's as round as Rui Rui's little face. ”
Ran Xixi laughed out loud. I pinched his face again.
Zhan Ruijue, who was also laughing, seemed to think of her leaving. Suddenly, he hugged her. Nor do they speak. It's just holding it.
The tip of her nose is slightly sour. I had to raise my head. so as not to shed tears yourself.
As soon as I looked up. Ran Xixi met Zhan Xingchuan's gaze. He was also looking at her through the rearview mirror.
A few seconds later. She hastily looked away.
After eating the "old three" in KFC. Zhan Xingchuan took the initiative. I want to buy a few seasonal clothes for Zhan Ruijue. The child is growing up fast now. Clothes bought a few months ago. It doesn't fit well now.
Ran Xixi looked at the time. It's still early. So he didn't refuse.
The three of them pick out clothes at the children's clothing counter in the mall. All the salespeople treat them like a family of three. Words are courteous. What's more, he took the initiative to praise Ran Xixi for being young and beautiful. It's not like a mother at all.
"Neither did I. I am a staff member of the Women's Federation. Someone reported the man abusing the child. I'll follow up and investigate. ”
took advantage of Zhan Xingchuan to take Zhan Ruijue to change clothes. Ran Xixi lied. The face is not red. The heart doesn't beat.
Hear the words. Several salespeople were all shocked. At the same time, they all secretly shouted. It's really unseemly. A man who looks so handsome and golden. It's actually a scum with a beast's heart.
Wait for the father and son to come out. Zhan Xingchuan could clearly feel it. The salespeople here are not as enthusiastic as they used to be.
He swiped his card to pay the bills. Carrying a few paper bags in one hand. Pulling Zhan Ruijue out with one hand. A turn back. You can still see the women huddled together and whispered. As if to say something.
Ran Xixi couldn't help laughing. Still pretending not to know anything. The heart is dark.
Arrived at the Medical Laboratory Technology Center. Rubbed in the car. Ran Xixi was mentally prepared. Push the door and get out of the car. Follow Zhan Xingchuan into the gate together. Zhan Ruijue played for most of the day. I'm already a little sleepy. At this moment, he was held in his arms by Zhan Xingchuan. He buried his head deeply. Snort a few times from time to time.
Take a look at the combination of the two big and the small. The staff here get the idea. Come and receive them.
Zhan Xingchuan is also not ambiguous. pointed to Ran Xixi beside him and Zhan Ruijue in his arms. Calmly, he said, "I'm going to do a paternity test for the two of them." Get the fastest results. That day. Or tomorrow at the latest. ”
