CHAPTER XXIII

—Chapter V, April 8

Qiao Xiaoqiao was tired after a day of playing, and she lay quietly in Qiao Yun's arms and was a little drowsy.

Qiao Yun originally wanted to be the co-pilot, but when she stood next to her, Ye Chengyu opened the door of the back seat for her, "I don't pay so much attention to it, you should hold the child at the back, and it will be safer." ”

Qiao Yun got into the car and saw a safety seat behind the driver's seat.

Qiao Yun's heart moved slightly, and an indescribable love surged up in his heart.

"Thank you." She said it to him anyway.

Ye Chengyu made a move, turned around and glanced at her, Qiao Yun immediately looked away, and the atmosphere between the two was suddenly a little awkward. Ye Chengyu was silent for a moment before continuing the movements in his hands.

Qiao Xiaoqiao was reluctant to sit in the safety seat, the little girl was sleepy, her eyes were almost open, Qiao Yun hugged her all the way, Ye Chengyu drove steadily, and after a while, Qiao Xiaoqiao fell asleep in Qiao Yun's arms.

"Cover her with my clothes." Ye Chengyu glanced at the back seat through the rearview mirror, and then said.

Qiao Yun immediately reached out and touched the child's forehead, and replied: "No, it's too hot to play for so long just now, and it's easy to get sick when it's cold and hot." ”

Ye Chengyu glanced at her again, this time just matching Qiao Yun who raised his gaze, but he only glanced at it lightly and turned his gaze back.

Qiao Yun's heart was pounding violently, and just that glance just now instantly made her feel like she was back in the past.

When she was learning to drive, Qiao Yun was timid, no matter what the coach said and scolded her, she didn't dare to drive, she basically cried to Ye Chengyu every day when she came home from the driving school.

Ye Chengyu didn't take it to heart at first, but as the days went by, he became a little worried, seeing that Qiao Yun looked like a frosted eggplant every day when he went to the driving school, he finally decided to teach her personally.

Ye Chengyu took great pains to teach her to drive, and specially modified a car for her, which had better performance than the car in the driving school, and there were brakes on the co-pilot.

But every time Ye Chengyu sat down in the co-pilot, Qiao Yun began to wail.

Ye Chengyu was unmoved when he heard the sound, and the most outrageous time was that Ye Chengyu "solved" her directly in the car.

Qiao Yun has always been most afraid that Ye Chengyu will clean her up in that kind of thing, and since then she has never dared to screw with him again.

The car was finally learned, but her skills did not reassure Ye Chengyu very much, so the number of times she drove was only a handful, but even so, Ye Chengyu would take time to accompany her to practice every night.

After a long time like this, her skills slowly improved, and then Ye Chengyu stopped sitting in the co-pilot seat and sat in the back seat, Qiao Yun often looked at him through the rearview mirror at that time.

When I like someone, when I face him, my whole heart is pink, Qiao Yun was in this state at that time, and I wanted to see him all the time.

……

Arriving at the hotel, Qiao Xiaoqiao was already completely asleep, the little girl was still a little heavy, especially in winter, her clothes were also heavy, and Qiao Yun's arms were very sore when she held her all the way.

Ye Chengyu parked the car and called a waiter to carry a large bag and a small bag, Qiao Yun got out of the car with great difficulty, he had already reached out to hold the child.

"It's okay, I'll do it." Qiao Yun refused, but Ye Chengyu insisted: "You're tired of holding her all the way, I'll come." ”

His eyes were fixed on her, and there was a determination in his gaze that was hard to ignore.

Qiao Yun was silent for a few seconds and then nodded, Ye Chengyu took the child from her arms, his movements were careful and gentle, for fear of waking up the child, Qiao Yun looked at it in his eyes, and was a little touched.

All the way back to the room, Qiao Yun asked Ye Chengyu to put the child on the bed, and then she went to tidy up Qiao Xiaoqiao's things, but Ye Chengyu did not put the child on the bed as she said, he kept holding her, looking down at her comfortable sleeping face, looking at a hard heart that was instantly melted.

Qiao Xiaoqiao is not the child of him and Qiao Yun, but it makes him feel extremely sorry, and her every move is like Qiao Yun back then.

There was a faint sweet fragrance on the child's body, which was the same as the smell on Qiao Yun's body, which made him feel comfortable and familiar.

Ye Chengyu looked at the child seriously, his face was full of gentleness, and it took ten minutes to look at it.

As soon as Qiao Yun packed up her things and came out, she saw him walking back and forth in the living room with the child in her arms, and she didn't know why she suddenly felt that her empty heart was filled all of a sudden.

Her expression softened a lot, and she walked over to him and said gently, "Why are you still holding her?" Not tired? ”

Ye Chengyu raised her head when she heard this, and when her eyes were opposite her, she was distracted for a moment, she stood under the light, behind her was a large number of floor-to-ceiling windows, the lights were bright, neon was all over, and there was a bright light behind her.

"Qiao Yun ......" As soon as he opened his mouth to say two words, Qiao Yun immediately turned his eyes away and changed the topic.

"I'm going to take the kids to wash." She woke up Qiao Xiaoqiao and walked into the bathroom with Qiao Xiaoqiao with an unhappy face.

Ye Chengyu admitted that at the moment just now, the blood all over his body was boiling, and somewhere in his body was slowly changing.

Qiao Yun also took a bath by the way when she took a bath for Qiao Xiaoqiao, and when the mother and daughter came out after getting dressed, Ye Chengyu was facing the floor-to-ceiling window, holding a goblet in his hand and drinking.

Qiao Yun knew that he would only be like this when he was irritable, probably because he was worried about Qiao Xiaoqiao, he did not smoke but chose to drink.

After bringing Qiao Xiaoqiao into the room to fall asleep, Qiao Yun pushed open the door and walked out.

He was still full of thoughts, leaning on his long body and drinking quietly.

"What's wrong?" She walked over suddenly, and stood beside him, holding a goblet in her hand like him, the bright red liquid shining in the light of the light, and emitting a mellow fragrance.

"The child is asleep?" He turned his face to look at her, then withdrew his gaze and raised his goblet to take a sip of wine.

Qiao Yun nodded, quietly looked at his side face, and then took a sip of wine with his movements.

The two stood side by side, also facing the scenery under the floor-to-ceiling windows, and no one spoke again, at this time, Ye Chengyu threw away that indifferent face and was full of concern, as if this was his truest appearance.

The environment was quiet, and Qiao Yun could even hear the shallow breathing of the two.

"You... Aren't you going to accompany her to activities in the evening? Is that okay? Finally, she broke the silence and asked.

"You want me to go?" He didn't move, still facing the floor-to-ceiling window, and asked coldly.

"Of course not." Qiao Yun almost blurted out, but after saying that, he felt that it was inappropriate, and then added, "Women are like this, if you don't like a person, you definitely won't want her to live sincerely, and it just so happens that I am the most typical one of them." ”

Ye Chengyu suddenly turned his face to look at her when he heard the voice, Qiao Yun still looked calm and calm.

Ye Chengyu looked at her for a long time, so long that Qiao Yun couldn't pretend anymore, and withdrew the gaze that fell in front of him and looked at him directly, Ye Chengyu smiled lightly and said, "You never said this kind of thing to me before." ”

In the past, she was like a little sheep, docile and sensible, and many bad feelings were hidden in her heart, and she would never tell him.

"People change." Qiao Yun's expression suddenly turned cold, "I remember that when I was in school in the past, the teacher often said that 'the times make heroes', and the environment is really easy to change a person, just like me now." ”

She suddenly looked at him with a serious expression, "Ye Chengyu I am no longer the same person I used to be, I don't know how to say it, I just feel tired for so many years and hate people for so many years...... Suddenly, you sue me that the person I hate is actually not worth my hatred, and I feel that it is not very important in fact, and I will definitely not be so impulsive when I look at the things of the past, and I feel like the sky is falling. ”

"Qiao Yun—"

"But it doesn't matter now, I'm doing well, I have a good job, my income is just right, my daughter is obedient and sensible, I'm already very satisfied."

If Ye Chengyu couldn't hear the meaning of Qiao Yun's words anymore, he would have been in vain for so many years, and she was telling him in disguise, 'It's the same with you and without you now'.

Ye Chengyu's face was as usual, and he continued with her words: "Yes, I also feel it, you are very good now, and you are perfect, so Qiao Yun, I am sorry for the past things, and now I am up to you, if you don't like me always appearing in front of you, I will leave immediately." ”

“……”

Qiao Yun was suddenly a little speechless, I didn't understand why he suddenly understood, I thought he would be entangled for a while.

She pursed her lips and didn't speak, but her eyes when she looked at him changed significantly, Ye Chengyu didn't speak again, looked down at her, raised her head and drank the wine in the glass, then turned around and walked towards his room.

The result was a little unexpected, Qiao Yun looked at the direction Ye Chengyu left for a long time.

Ye Chengyu took away his things in the room a little, and then made a phone call to Chen Chen to ask him to go down temporarily and open a room, and it didn't take long for Chen Chen to call and say that the room was ready.

Ye Chengyu was carrying his bag, and as soon as he walked out of the room, he saw Qiao Yun looking at him with a surprised face, "Where are you going so late?" She walked over and looked at the bag in his hand, frowning slightly.

"There is only a little finishing work left for the cooperation case here, others can handle it, and there is still something to do in City C." Ye Chengyu didn't stop walking when he was talking to her, and Qiao Yun also followed him all the way to the door, and she looked a little hesitant.

Obviously, there is something wrong with Ye Chengyu's words, if it is really as he said, people like him will definitely not make another move to take Qiao Xiaoqiao over and play with them all night.

"Why are you in such a hurry to rush back overnight?" Qiao Yun still couldn't help but ask.

Ye Chengyu paused, turned his face to look at her, and said in a light tone: "The main reason is that I hope you are better." He looked at her unpowdered face, his expression focused and serious, "As you said, I really shouldn't force you to do anything, everything in the past is my fault, I shouldn't ask you what to do now after causing you so much harm." ”

Ye Chengyu's voice was originally very good, a clear baritone, but at this moment he became serious, his voice was deliberately suppressed, and he was still indescribably sexy and charming.

The current situation Qiao Yun didn't expect, she was a little surprised and more sad, when she mentioned those things in the past, she was always silent, resistant, and didn't want to say much, but what kind of person is Ye Chengyu? Being able to say these words really caught Qiao Yun off guard.

"But you don't have to rush back overnight, do you?" Qiao Yun was silent for a moment, and spoke before Ye Chengyu was about to make a move.

"It's okay, I'll go back after basically finishing the important part in the past, and today was an accident."

Qiao Yun probably didn't realize that this was the day when Ye Chengyu talked the most, especially at night, what he usually didn't bother to say at all, tonight he said it completely.

"You can't do anything when you go back to this point, huh? Besides, you're tired from a day today, so take a good rest and go back early tomorrow morning, right? ”

Qiao Yun is indeed a little unbearable, Ye Chengyu only flew back to City A with Qiao Xiaoqiao from City C in the afternoon, and he was tired all night, if he was asked to go back to City A overnight in the middle of the night, he couldn't help tossing back and forth like this, Qiao Yun still felt sorry for him in the end.

Ye Chengyu pursed his lips and didn't speak, Qiao Yun looked at him for a long time, and said again: "Your body is not very good, especially your stomach, can you stand tossing back and forth like this?" ”

When Ye Chengyu heard this, his expression was really loose, Qiao Yun thought that he was going back, so he specially gave way to the back, but he didn't expect him to move his lips, and finally said: "Well, then I'll go and ask Chen Chen to book another room for me, you go sleep first." ”

Qiao Yun: "......"

She couldn't figure out what happened to Ye Chengyu tonight, he suddenly transformed, and it was very strange.

It was Ye Chengyu's attitude these days that made Qiao Yun more and more unscrupulous, and as soon as his hand touched the doorknob, Qiao Yun said a little irritably: "Ye Chengyu, are you enough?" It's so late, if you don't sleep, Chen Tezhu still has to rest, don't think that you are a boss and just toss people around? ”

There was an accusation in these words, Qiao Yun watched Ye Chengyu's movements slowly freeze, and then he nodded silently in her somewhat remorseful gaze, turned around and walked into his room.

Qiao Yun was very depressed, and she didn't understand what was wrong with her tonight, so her temper came up.

Inside the house, Ye Chengyu casually threw the bag in his hand aside, and then the smiles on his faces gradually enlarged.

Taking out his mobile phone, he immediately contacted Chen Chen: "Help me push off the room I ordered just now, oh, and tell the people here, just say that there is something to postpone the completion of the contract tomorrow-" He said and paused, "Don't let Qiao Yun find out." ”

Chen Chen responded again and again, and then when Ye Chengyu was about to hang up the phone, he hurriedly said: "Mr. Ye, Miss Lin was drunk in the bar downstairs because you went to the banquet, and she asked you to go over." ”

Ye Chengyu frowned when he heard this, and said directly: "You just go over, in the future, you don't need to report to me about her affairs, whether important or not, what to do, as long as you don't touch my bottom line." ”

……

Qiao Yun didn't sleep well all night because of Ye Chengyu's final trouble, she didn't think about it all the time, or she felt bored.

When I got up the next morning, I really had two dark circles under my eyes again, and my spirit was not good.

At breakfast, she specially asked for a cup of coffee, so as not to have an accident due to her personal problems at the end of the contract, but before her coffee came up, Chen Tezhu informed that the closing problem was temporarily postponed for a day due to the problems of the company here, and today should be regarded as a vacation.

Ye Chengyu directly replaced her coffee with milk, and when the waiter brought it up, Qiao Yun was stunned for a moment, with an extremely reluctant expression.

She doesn't like milk.

When she was with Ye Chengyu before, Ye Chengyu always liked to give her a hot cup of milk in the morning, but at that time, Qiao Yun would drink it silently even if she didn't like it, and after they separated, Qiao Yun never touched the milk again.

"My mom doesn't like milk!" Qiao Xiaoqiao held a cup of milk and drank it, a white milk beard suddenly appeared on her lips, she looked at the glass of milk in front of her mother with wide eyes, stretched out her little tongue and licked her lips, her eyes lingered, "I'll help my mother drink it!" ”

As she spoke, she reached out to hold the glass of milk, Ye Chengyu couldn't help but chuckle and stopped her movements, "Mom will drink it, you are good, eat the rest first." ”

A glass of milk was enough in the morning, and if she drank too much, the little girl could not eat anything else.

Qiao Yun was not surprised by his smiling face, when Ye Chengyu was with the child, he was really very gentle, unlike usually, he always had a cold face, but the other two looked frightened.

In fact, except for Chen Tezhu, Lu Ru was really startled when he saw Qiao Xiaoqiao yesterday, no one expected Qiao Yun to have such a big child, and he naturally associated the child with Ye Chengyu.

However, Qiao Yun didn't have much feeling about their thoughts, but as long as she was doing well and living comfortably, she didn't care what others thought and said.

The little girl didn't expect that her uncle, who had always indulged her, would refuse her request, looked at him pitifully, and then looked at Qiao Yun, who had been sitting beside her silently, and finally chose to nod at him obediently and reached out to take the bread on the table.

Qiao Yun pays attention to Qiao Xiaoqiao's diet, she rarely takes the child out to eat, and the morning is also a good combination of meat and vegetables, the little girl has always eaten a Chinese breakfast, and it is rare to eat bread one morning, full of satisfaction, and ate several pieces at a time.

Qiao Yun was afraid that she would be able to eat, and when she stretched out her chubby little hand and was about to grab another piece, she hurriedly stopped her: "The baby can't eat anymore, if you eat again, you will have a stomachache after a while." ”

Qiao Xiaoqiao drooped her head, looked at the bread and jam on the table, and couldn't help but stretch out her little tongue and lick her lips, "But Mom, what should I do if I'm still hungry?" ”

Qiao Yun: "......"

She turned her head to look at the little girl, the little girl blinked with wide eyes, Qiao Yun reached out and touched her belly, which was round, like a small leather ball, and suddenly cried and laughed: "You can't eat anymore, come down, stand for a while and don't run or jump." ”

The child really ate too much this morning, and Qiao Yun hurriedly picked her up from the chair and stood beside her.

Qiao Xiaoqiao's big round eyes turned around on everyone's faces at the table, and then locked her eyes on Ye Chengyu, who was sitting opposite Qiao Yun, she grinned and giggled and ran over to rub against him: "Uncle, have you finished eating?" ”

Ye Chengyu really had no resistance to Qiao Xiaoqiao's smiling face, especially the child's eyes were beautiful, and he was so cute when he blinked and smiled, his heart trembled, and he almost let go, or Qiao Yun's warning look was thrown over, he straightened his face, stretched out his hand and rubbed the child's head and said: "Mom said that if you don't eat it, you are not allowed to eat, you are good, let your mother take you out to play after eating in a while, zoo or sea world." ”

Ye Chengyu's words successfully diverted the child's attention, and she really stood aside obediently and stopped making trouble.
