Chapter XII

Qiao Xiaoqiao lay in her mother's arms for a while before she opened her mouth and asked her, "Mom, why is my uncle here?" ”

Because of illness, Qiao Xiaoqiao's voice was very small and soft, revealing a soothing smell, Qiao Yun's expression froze, and he replied after a while: "Uncle came to my mother because of work." ”

Qiao Xiaoqiao said "oh" slightly, her expression looked a little disappointed, her big black eyes were still staring at Ye Chengyu without blinking, and there was a little expectation in her small eyes.

It is said that the eyes are the windows of the soul, especially such a big child, who does not know how to hide it at all, and every move shows a strong sense of purpose.

Ye Chengyu was not far away from them, so he naturally heard the conversation between the mother and daughter, his expression was gloomy, he took a step to chase after him, and asked Qiao Xiaoqiao who was lying on Qiao Yun's shoulder, "Is it okay to hug uncle?" Mom was so tired. ”

Qiao Xiaoqiao looked at him for a while before nodding slowly, and a slight smile appeared on his face.

Qiao Xiaoqiao was born with pink carving, looking cute and cute, plus she smiled with two deep little pear vortices next to her small mouth, not to mention how cute she was.

The kid still likes him.

Ye Chengyu also rarely smiled.

Qiao Yun saw the interaction between the two in her eyes, she was a little hesitant, and kept holding Qiao Xiaoqiao forward, she subconsciously didn't want Qiao Xiaoqiao to have more contact with Ye Chengyu.

There are some secrets buried in her heart, she doesn't want to remember them, and she doesn't want to be broken.

Especially this person is still Ye Chengyu.

"Come baby, uncle." Ye Chengyu has lived for so many years, and he has never been close to such a big child, he looked at Qiao Xiaoqiao for a while and didn't know what to do, fortunately, his cousin Ye Lixiu, who was far away in City A, also had children, he tried hard to search in his mind for those scenes where Ye Lixiu got along with the child, and opened his arms towards Qiao Xiaoqiao like him.

Qiao Xiaoqiao's small body twisted in Qiao Yun's arms, and obediently stretched out her hand to him, but Qiao Yun always held her and didn't let go.

Ye Chengyu knew her thoughts, he reached out and touched Qiao Xiaoqiao's head, then walked up to Qiao Yun and said to her: "I'll hug the child, you are very tired, and you will have to drive when you go back in a while." ”

Qiao Yun looked straight at him, his facial features were as handsome and charming as they were back then, his deep eyes looked at her, and there was a faint hint of incomprehensible complexity in his eyes.

She didn't want to think about it.

"Mr. Ye, it's not too early, you're half awake from the wine, let's go back early, I'll take a taxi back with the child." As for work, let's talk about it another day. ”

Obviously refused, Ye Chengyu stared at her deadly, and his mood was suddenly extremely bad now.

This person was obviously fine at the beginning, although the two were not reconciled, but at least she didn't wear a mask in front of her like before. But now, turning her face faster than turning a book, she has regained the appearance of having to do everything officially, as if all those things before were a flashy dream.

"Qiao Yun—"

Ye Chengyu couldn't help the anger rising in his chest, and spoke in his throat, but before he could say anything, Qiao Yun interrupted him suddenly: "My daughter is already very tired after tossing all night, I want to take her back to sleep." ”

In other words, there are some things that should not be said in front of your daughter.

Even if Ye Chengyu is in a bad mood at the moment and doesn't want to let her go, he really can't force Qiao Yun in front of Qiao Xiaoqiao, or get angry at her.

In the end, he still cares about the child.

Ye Chengyu tried his best to suppress the anger in his chest, calmed down for a moment before returning to his usual cold and desolate appearance, looked deeply at Qiao Yun again, and then turned his head and left without waiting for her to speak again.

Qiao Xiaoqiao only got up from Qiao Yun's body after Ye Chengyu left, and she asked her with a look of ignorance: "Mom, did you quarrel with your uncle?" ”

The child is very sensitive, especially since she has always been in such a single-parent family. A little bit of wind and grass in the adult world can be sensitively felt by children.

Qiao Yun was sad for a while, but he shook his head at the child with his affection: "Mom didn't quarrel with uncle, it's so late now, and uncle is not feeling well tonight, he also needs to go home to sleep, right?" ”

Qiao Xiaoqiao nodded as if he didn't understand.

Qiao Yun said again: "So we shouldn't trouble our uncle, right?" ”

Qiao Xiaoqiao drooped her head, although she was a little reluctant, she still listened to what her mother said, and nodded obediently.

Qiao Yun lowered her head and kissed Qiao Xiaoqiao's face, "Good baby, mother loves you, loves you very much, you want to grow up happy and healthy, do you know?" Mom taught you that there are many things that we can do with our own hands to fight, but we can't rely on the strength of others, right? ”

Qiao Xiaoqiao still nodded obediently, Qiao Yun looked at her lovingly, but she was bitter in her heart, but she still tried to seize the opportunity to teach her daughter to be strong and independent as soon as possible.

It's the best thing she's ever been able to give her as a mother.

She carried Qiao Xiaoqiao to the gate of the hospital, there were empty cars parked around, Qiao Yun carefully protected her head and sat in, Qiao Xiaoqiao suddenly said to her: "Mom, I like uncle." ”

Qiao Yun lost his mind for a moment when he heard this.

After a moment, she looked down at Qiao Xiaoqiao, the child blinked, looking tired but trying to raise his head and wait for her to speak.

Qiao Yun couldn't help but reach out and touch her fluffy little head, and said patiently: "Baby, uncle also has his own job, uncle is very busy, uncle will have his own family in the future, and he will also have his own baby, so even if the baby likes uncle, he can't say it, you know?" ”

"Uncle's baby is going to be angry, isn't it?"

Qiao Yun didn't fail to see the loss in Qiao Xiaoqiao's eyes, but she still nodded with a hard heart, "Just like the baby thinks that the mother is just your mother, if there are other children who share the uncle's love, the uncle's baby will be unhappy." ”

Qiao Yun didn't know if Qiao Xiaoqiao understood, but she knew that when she said this, she was actually reminding herself not to lose herself, she had already suffered from Ye Chengyu four years ago, and four years later, she should not repeat the mistakes of the past.

She wasn't sure if she would have the courage to go through the same thing a second time.

She was the one who was scared by him.

From a person who needs to rely on him for everything, to a person with thousands of burdens on her shoulders overnight, her growth and maturity have come at the cost of blood and tears.
