"Why?" Qiao Shanquan was surprised to hear him say this, she had always thought that he and his mother had a very harmonious relationship, could she be wrong?

Ferry didn't want to talk about it, his expression was faint: "No why." ”

"There are no parents in the world who don't love their children......" Qiao Shanquan was about to say something, looked up to see his expression clearly, and swallowed the rest of the words.

"Well, maybe." Ferry shrugged, looked down and pulled out his vibrating phone, making an apologetic gesture, "My mother hates me as much as she loves my father. Sorry, I have to answer this call. ”

Seeing the figure of the man hurriedly walking into the corridor to answer the phone, Qiao Shanquan covered her face, and in the brief moment before that, she almost stretched out her arms and gave him a tight hug, and there was clearly a fragile soul hidden in his eyes.

No, it's okay to talk to him about the kidneys and not the heart, Qiaoqi, have you forgotten what you said?

Trying to take a few deep breaths and adjust her mood, by the time Ferry walked back again, Qiao Shanquan had regained her composure, and she pointed out a few random places, telling him that she still needed to lay wires and use the combination of lights and fabrics to create a different atmosphere.

Ferry bowed, "I see." I would go to a skilled plumber worker and ask about it, buy the materials and come back to do it. By the way, Qiaoqi, I seem to see that your card has been overdrawn, and the bank has called you? ”

Speaking of this, Qiao Shanquan was very frustrated. She has tried her best to save all kinds of expenses, but here and there, all together, the money is like water.

Even as she racked her brains with him to reuse the pieces and decorate the studio with skill and creativity, the amount on her account continued to shrink.

Being said so bluntly by a man, Qiao Shanquan was a little ashamed.

She thought that according to her experience when she was still studying, she could do the best with the least amount of money, but now it seems that there is a long distance between reality and ideals.

The corners of Ferry's mouth turned up, and he touched her head soothingly: "It's okay, I'll figure it out." ”

The next day, Ferry handed her a check, allowing her to buy a large number of materials and tools online.

Holding the microphone between her shoulders, Qiao Shanquan negotiated the purchase with a textile merchant who had worked with AJ Group, and at the same time her fingers fluttered, leaving an address on the keyboard of her laptop to place an order.

“…… Yes, yes, that's the material, but I don't want dark blue, I want sky blue and lake blue, remember, I only want those two blues. The price is exactly as we said earlier...... Okay, the money will be credited to your account within three days, and the remaining part will be paid after receiving the goods, and that's it. ”

Ferry carried Juan upstairs and knocked on the doorframe, "Hey, bothering you?" If there's anything you need to go out and buy, give me the list. I took Juan out on a trip, his hair was too long. The man lowered his head and played with his son's curly hair, and Juan had just woken up from a nap, and put his sleepy eyes around his father's neck and burrowed his head into his arms.

Qiao Shanquan walked over and pinched Juan's face: "Look at our little Juan, it looks like a cute curly-haired Winnie the Pooh, why cut it off?" ”

Rubbing his eyes, Juan lay on her shoulder and muttered, "Daddy said...... In September, I had to take me to school, and I had to cut my hair neatly like the rest of the children. ”

"Are you going to send Juan to school? Here, New York? Qiao Shanquan's eyes widened.

Ferry hummed, looking taken for granted.

Qiao Shanquan muttered in her heart, he really plans to settle down in New York? But...... What about the manor? As the owner of the manor, is it really good for him to leave it alone?

"Daddy, your phone is ringing." Juan's ears were pointed, and he was lying on the stairs and looking down.

Qiao Shanquan stepped forward to grab him back, so that the little one would not fall through the gap. The man took three steps and two steps downstairs to answer the phone, his voice was deliberately low, he paced downstairs a few times, and then frowned deeply from the staircase and glanced in the direction of one big and one small.

Finding that Qiao Shanquan was still in her original posture, looking at him with Juan with bright eyes, Fei Li was a little uncomfortable, her head retracted, and then, there was the sound of the door being slammed shut downstairs.

Ferry is out.

If a man suddenly calls frequently, and is secretive, always hiding to answer, he will unconsciously wander when talking to you.

What does this mean?

The antenna of gossip stood up, and Qiao Shanquan planted a seed of doubt in her heart, thinking left and right, she couldn't figure it out, she intuitively felt that the bearded man must be hiding something from herself.

Looking down at the beautiful face with brown hair and brown eyes in her arms, Qiao Shanquan furrowed her brows: "Juan, these days, your daddy ...... Bearded, does he always get calls? ”

Juan nodded: "Well, Daddy's phone always rings, he will pick it up immediately, and then go outside while listening." ”

It seems that she is not the only one who notices the man's strange appearance, Qiao Shanquan is very worried, more uneasy. She didn't want to suspect him, but his behavior was so weird that she had to think about it.

Who contacts him frequently?

He didn't have a good relationship with his family, and she had learned about it during her time at the manor.

Who else would be left, unless it was someone he didn't think she and Juan should know.

Qiao Shanquan thought of a name - the red-haired Demi Ivan, the one who stole her design and was also Juan's biological mother, Ferry's ex-wife.

Thinking of this, Qiao Shanquan's expression became gloomy, she clenched her fists tightly, and the violent factors were skewered in her body.

Could it be what she had guessed? No, I can't draw conclusions yet, maybe she guessed wrong......

It didn't take long for Ferry to return. He hurriedly put on his coat, but he was not satisfied, took off his denim jacket, took a linen casual blazer from the hanger, came over to kiss his son, and pinched his chin and pecked her on the lips.

"I've got something to go out for, so I'll get a haircut next time. Juan, take care of Georgie. ”

Biting her lip, Qiao Shanquan didn't want to admit that she was panicked and had a dull pain.

He actually turned around and left for a phone call, and even began to care about his dress! She couldn't find any other reason than to meet another woman who would make him like this. Qiao Shanquan's eyes were red, and she raised her head and tried to keep it open, so as not to let herself feel the urge to cry.

She was determined to find a chance to talk to Ferry.

Waiting, waiting until the twilight quadrangle.

Ferry returned to the attic with a paper bag in his hand, filled some bread and fresh fruit, he even took out a chocolate strip from his pocket and stuffed it for Juan, who was eye-pierced, patted his ass and motioned him to watch a cartoon, the man came over and propped his hands on the back of Qiao Shanquan's chair, leaned over to look at the screen: "Hey, what are you going to buy?" ”

The man's deep voice was very seductive, and Qiao Shanquan couldn't help but think of how he used this magnetic voice to say prodigal love words on the bed, coupled with aggressive eyes, completely invading all her senses. She shrunk her neck unnaturally, instinctively trying to pull away from the man's magical magnetic field.

"I have something to tell you." Calming down, Qiao Shanquan looked him straight in the eye.

Ferry was stunned: "Okay, no problem." ”

After lulling Juan to sleep, Qiao Shanquan took a simple shower, put on her dressing gown, and walked to the terrace outside the attic. The man was waiting for her there, his back to the lights, his elbows propped up on the railing, and he looked up at the sky above him.

Handing him a bottle of beer, Qiao Shan shook the glass, the amber liquor mixed with the ice, she frowned, and sipped softly. The taste is not as good as the brand she loved to drink in the past, but it is okay, there is another more direct and rugged stimulation, like ...... He.

Ferry raised his eyebrows and clinked glasses with her as he pinched the bottle: "What do you want to say, you have been absent-minded all night." ”

"Ferry Montero, if you're just out of sympathy or guilt, stay with me and prepare for it all." Qiao Shanquan pointed downstairs with her finger, she turned around, leaned on the railing, and looked at the bright lights in the distance, "Then what I want to tell you is that you have done too much, you are free, you can go at any time, you can go wherever you want, you don't have to force yourself." ”

"Why did you talk about this all of a sudden?" Ferry relaxed and tilted his head in confusion.

The night breeze blew Qiao Shanquan's slightly wet long hair, she pressed her sideburns, her eyes drifted to the boundless night sky, and pointed afar: "There." See? The brightest places to be lit up, New York's city that never sleeps, and the bustling Upper East Side of Manhattan. Demi Ivan lives there now, where I used to live. It's not that far, you should go there. If Juan doesn't want to see his mother, you can keep him and I'll take care of him. ”

"Something to do with Demi Ivan? That's what you're going to talk to me about? Ferry seemed offended, looking serious and puzzled, "If I'm not mistaken, you're driving me away?" ”

"Yes, that's right, I'm driving you away." Qiao Shanquan raised her head to look at him, New York City was full of lights and thousands of stars, honestly reflected in her clear pupils.

Ferry clenched his fists, and he suppressed his anger: "Qiaoqi, what the hell is wrong with you. I thought everything was fine, you are in trouble now, why do you still insist on driving me away, what did I do wrong? ”

"I just don't want to see you push yourself up." Lowering her eyes, Qiao Shanquan smiled self-deprecatingly, "I have already guessed the phone call you don't want to answer in front of me and Juan." Don't kid yourself, okay, bearded. As I said, I'm willing to come to my lawyer at any time to get a divorce. I don't want to force you to do anything, really. ”

"Then you're not forcing me like this?" Ferrie grabbed her by the shoulders and asked fiercely, "Force me to leave you, that's what you want?" Look me in the eye, Georgie, tell me, you don't need me, you don't want me to stay, say ah! ”

Looking away, Qiao Shanquan's lips trembled slightly, and she took several deep breaths, so that her voice didn't sound unusual: "What's the point of me saying these words?" Ferry, you ask yourself, what does it mean when a man is unwilling to answer the phone in front of his son and wife? ”

"Oh, you're my wife again now." Ferry raised an eyebrow and mocked. He let go of her, turned around and walked away a few steps, took out his phone from his trouser pocket, and slapped it into her palm hard, "Here you go, this is my phone." Rest assured, I won't do anything with the call logs, and since you doubt it, you can see for yourself. What to do, look! ”

Pinching the mobile phone with a hint of residual warmth, Qiao Shanquan hesitated. He looked rather angry, could she have guessed wrong? But......

"I don't understand, bearded. Why are you always sneaking around and answering the phone behind our backs? You even dressed up before leaving this afternoon. And the money, the money to rent a house like Ninth Avenue, is constantly subsidized to me for renovations and materials. Where did you get all this money? ”

Ferry raked his hair irritably, his eyes twinkling in the night to reflect the lights of thousands of homes in the distance.

"I changed my clothes because I made an appointment to meet at the bank."

"To the bank?"

"You've got to ask where the money came from, well, I'll tell you. The answer is simple - I sold the estate, so money kept coming in. ”

Qiao Shanquan was dumbfounded.

"What did you just say? You sold the manor?! 166 Reading Network
