Chapter 8: Escape

Ran Xixi was stunned for a moment, almost ignoring the pain coming from his arm.

She thought she had misheard, but she clearly knew the meaning of Zhan Xingchuan's words. He was actually hinting to her that after their divorce, Yu Youwei didn't move in here, let alone live in the master bedroom, and what was in the cloakroom was still her previous hostess.

Did he think she was rare?

Sure enough, Zhan Xingchuan unconsciously let go of his hand.

He noticed that the woman next to him was looking at him with a gaze that was actually familiar to him.

It's hateful gaze.

He was startled, and his heart became inexplicably empty, and bursts of irrepressible throbbing lingered in his heart. Of course he knew that she hated herself, but he always couldn't help but get lucky, thinking that in her hatred, maybe there would be some love, and he was reluctant. After all, they are a young couple, and they dare not say that they share weal and pain, after all, they have spent hundreds of days and nights together.

It wasn't until this moment that Zhan Xingchuan understood that he was wrong.

In an instant, his heart palpitations were unbearable, and his body even shook slightly.

"Yes, I used to be very blind, so I couldn't read anyone. As for what's in your house, I don't care at all, it's all rubbish, along with you. ”

Until Zhan Ruijue was fine, and even if he could actually speak, Ran Xixi was much more relieved.

She understood that after she returned to China this time, she was entangled with Zhan Xingchuan many times, and it was more or less related to this child. She felt sorry for Zhan Ruijue, who had been suffering from illness at a young age, so she doted on him in every way, and even lowered her bottom line again and again.

And now, she doesn't have to worry about this anymore, Zhan Ruijue just doesn't want to speak, it's not that she can't speak.

Probably because he has not been able to grow up like a child from an ordinary family, so the rebellious period came too early, his personality was too eccentric, and Zhan Xingchuan and Yu Youwei lacked enough patience to guide him to learn to speak little by little, but prematurely labeled the child with big hats such as "can't speak", "autistic", "lonely", so Zhan Ruijue simply ignored the people around him and tried to be quiet.

Should he be praised for being too smart or too stupid? Ran Xixi couldn't say clearly.

She only knew that there was no need for her to be constrained by Zhan Xingchuan again and again because of her children, and it was obviously his failure to educate, so she couldn't blame anyone.

"Trash, you say I'm trash."

Zhan Xingchuan almost thought that he had misheard, and his face was incredulous.

"Yes, you heard me right, and I didn't say it wrong. Because I love you, I agreed to your marriage proposal on my own initiative, and because I love you, I agreed to have children at a young age, and because I love you, I won't hide anything from you about my own business and that of my mother's family. Just because I love you, you can hurt me as much as you want, despise me, and abuse me. It took me the most precious years of my life to figure out one thing, it turns out that love does not necessarily come in exchange for love, and it may only be exchanged for humiliation and trampling. ”

After speaking, Ran Xixi rushed out the door.

When she went downstairs, she even regretted why she got into Zhan Xingchuan's car, maybe she shouldn't have come back.

But she comforted herself that if she didn't come back, she might never know Zhan Ruijue's little secret. He kept it so well and hid it so deeply, that no one knew about it. In this world, she is the only one who knows about this except himself, and this is not some kind of unknown agreement between them.

Sister Li originally wanted to keep Ran Xixi and let her leave after dinner.

However, she is also a woman after all, as soon as she saw the expression on Ran Xixi's face, Sister Li seemed to understand everything, she didn't say anything, just silently helped her take out her shoes and told her to be careful.

Walking out of the Zhan family, Ran Xixi was already very familiar with the direction this time, she knew how to get to the nearest subway station, so she didn't worry too much, hung her head slightly, and walked on the side of the road.

A kilometer of road is not long, and she saw the sign of the subway station from a distance, and her heart was relieved.

Just as she was about to speed up her pace, Ran Xixi saw without warning that there was a somewhat familiar car parked about ten meters on the left-hand side in front of her.

She froze, thinking she had misunderstood.

I glanced at the license plate number again, and there should be nothing wrong.

Ran Xixi stood in place, feeling a little at a loss, she didn't know why Lu Qinghuan's car was parked here. Could it be that his people are also there?

She was a little embarrassed, if possible, Ran Xixi really wanted to turn around and leave.

However, the person sitting in the car had apparently seen her as well.

The car door opened, and Lu Qinghuan quickly got out of the car and walked over this way.

Ran Xixi couldn't help but raise her hand and touch her cheek, she thought, this must be her ugliest moment in three years, there is no one, the hair that has just slept is unkempt and shapeless, there may be wrinkles on the windbreaker, the lipstick has been wiped off, the eyeliner is paste, and even the tail of the eyebrow may be missing.

But here he is again.

She wouldn't delude herself into thinking that he just happened to be passing by and then happened to meet her.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Qinghuan had already walked in front of her, and even if she wanted to pretend that she didn't see him, it was impossible.

"Good, so coincidental"

Ran Xixi said hello very notoriously, and her face was full of embarrassment.

"Unfortunately, I came here on purpose. If I don't see his car passing by after a little longer, I'll go straight to the door and grab someone. ”

Lu Qinghuan's tone didn't seem like a joke.

She squeezed out a smile wryly: "Youβ€”You're so good at laughing."

He glanced at her, as if surprised by her embarrassed appearance, and silently wondered why she had become like this. Thinking of a certain possibility, Lu Qinghuan's eyes couldn't help but become sharp for a moment, and he asked in a cold voice, "What did he do to you." ”

Ran Xixi shuddered, and hurriedly shook his head: "No, when I coaxed Rui Rui to sleep, I accidentally fell asleep." When I woke up, I left right away, nothing happened,"

She didn't want to be misunderstood, as if she and Zhan Xingchuan had done something unsightly.

After listening to Ran Xixi's defense, Lu Qinghuan's face softened slightly.

He knew that she was not the kind of casual woman, not to mention, Zhan Xingchuan would not really mess with her in front of his son, he should still have this shame.

"Get in the car."

Seeing her standing still, Lu Qinghuan urged again: "Let's go, I'll send you back after eating." At this time, the subway in Zhonghai is very scary, you are not used to crowding, and you may even be stepped on by someone. ”

He is not exaggerating, the subway in the morning and evening rush hour is really not ordinary scary.

Ran Xixi was stunned, silently followed him, and got into the car together.

Lu Qinghuan drove by himself, and there was no driver in the car.

At the door of the Diao family's old house, he heard Zhan Xingchuan say to Ran Xixi, go to his house, so Lu Qinghuan drove here alone and waited. This move was actually ridiculous and a little naΓ―ve, and he also knew that maybe Zhan Xingchuan didn't take her home at all, maybe she had already left. What's the difference between him staying here and waiting for the rabbit, but he just can't concentrate on other things, so he just waits here.

Unexpectedly, I really waited for it.

"What do you want to eat?"

Lu Qinghuan fastened his seatbelt and turned his head to ask.

Ran Xixi lowered her head, buckled her seat belt, then pulled her hair up casually, leaned back on the chair, and she spit out two words tiredly: "Whatever." ”

He laughed: "I've heard of Sichuan cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, whatever cuisine is the cuisine of any country." ”

She smiled: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to perfunctory you, I just really couldn't think of it, and I wasn't too hungry and didn't have much appetite." Whatever you want to eat, we'll eat it, I really don't pick. ”

Lu Qinghuan thought for a moment and started the car.

Ran Xixi didn't expect that his destination was a large supermarket.

Before getting out of the car, he found a pair of sunglasses and put them on.

"Do you need it?"

Unsure, she pulled out her sunglasses from her handbag and put them on.

The two men looked at each other like blind people, and they couldn't help but laugh.

"The more we dress like this, the more likely we are to be suspected, and it's better to be natural. It's like those celebrities, on a hot day, hats, sunglasses, and scarves are all wrapped, who doesn't treat you as a psychopath, take a few more looks. ”

Lu Qinghuan threw away his sunglasses and got out of the car directly.

He was right, the two of them walked into the supermarket, and no one found out their identities along the way, and the people around them just thought that this was a handsome man and a beautiful woman who matched the appearance better.

There was no time to be wasted, pushing the shopping cart and buying ingredients non-stop.

Don't look at him as a big man, he is quite experienced in picking things, looking at the date, looking at the origin, looking at the freshness, and even comparing the price by the way.

"I rarely cook, and every weekend my colleagues organize small gatherings, one dish per person, and only on that day do I cook, usually in the company's restaurant."

She poked the steak in her shopping cart and took the initiative.

Lu Qinghuan was holding a bottle of salad dressing in his hand, and after listening to Ran Xixi's words, he turned his head and glanced at her meaningfully: "Don't worry, I didn't plan to let you cook, I still want my kitchen." ”

She was immediately ashamed and angry, and defended: "I didn't mean that,"

His eyebrows curled: "That's what I meant." ”

Ran Xixi closed his mouth, twisted his face to the side, and silently looked at the spices on the shelf, not wanting to pay attention to him anymore.

When it came time to check out, the cashier was a young girl, and she seemed to recognize the man and woman in front of her, and her eyes couldn't help but widen. Seeing the surprise in her eyes, Lu Qinghuan smiled and stretched out his hand, put his index finger to his lips, made a "shhh" gesture to her, and then lifted the collar of Ran Xixi's trench coat and asked her to lower her head.

Swipe your card, sign it, and do it all in one go. After settling the bill, Lu Qinghuan carried two large shopping bags full of one hand, pulled up the nervous Ran Xixi beside him with the other, and left quickly with her.
