Chapter 9 Quit Smoking Now

Xiang Ling's family heard that Qiao Xinwei had returned with Xibao. All are very happy. After all, there is no need to separate the two places in the future. But with that comes a lot of worries.

After dinner. Mother and daughter talked in the room for a while. Qiao Xinwei told her mother about what happened in Linzhou in the past month.

Xiang Ling said: "The heart is only. If you ask my opinion. I definitely hope you remarry Jiang Hao. He is the biological father of Xi Bao. Divorce wasn't something he wanted in the first place. He has been good to us in recent years. It's good for you and your child. But I know you have a thorn in your heart. Don't force yourself either. Let it be."

That's what Xiang Ling said. Very pertinent.

Qiao Xinwei also understood from Xiang Ling's mouth. In recent years, Jiang Hao will visit every New Year's holiday. Give gifts and money. Also sweet mouth. But she never gave him a good look.

At the same time, Xiang Ling is realistic. She'll take whatever she sends. Jiang Hao is not bad for money anyway. But the door didn't let him in.

Jiang Hao touched his nose with ash. No complaining and no temper. Same next time. Give gifts and money the same.

"Mom. You're really there. Why don't you let him in?"

Xiang Ling said as a matter of course: "He puts everything at the door. I looked at it and picked it up. He was ashamed. I'm helping him to alleviate his guilt."

Qiao Xinwei couldn't help but laugh. Mother. You've got a point."

Yang Jiajia didn't come at dinner. Only came to Jingshang. From Jing Shang's vague words. Everyone thinks that this little couple is having a conflict.

Qiao Xinwei originally wanted to ask Jing Shang. But was stopped by Xiang Ling. Now it's just their mother and daughter. Xiang Ling was willing to reveal. said, "Jiajia has been messing with your brother lately. Because of your business."

This question is known. It turned out to be after she came back last time because of Xiao Tianai's case. Jing Shang is very concerned about her and Zaixi. If they were brothers and sisters. Then this is a very normal and proper thing to do. It's a pity they weren't.

Jing Shang's concern for their mother and son. In Yang Jiajia's view, it is awkward. Jing Shang is a straight temper again. He just remembered this sister in his heart. Without mincing matters. Yang Jiajia felt that Jing Shang had no feelings for her.

"You. It's right not to come back and live. Ay. It's not that mom is biased towards your brother. Something about both of them. Mom doesn't want you to get involved. Got it?"

Qiao Xinwei nodded. I understand. I also lived with Jiang Hao in mind about this floor. Save me from offering to live at home. I'm going to make it hard for you."

Xiang Ling looked at the toy next to Zaixi. sighed deeply." Ay. It's been four years. None of them had children. Jiajia was anxious. There is no sense of security. That's one thing."

"There is no rush to have a baby. Mother. Did you put pressure on her?"

"We don't. We are self-aware. Being able to marry Jiajia is our family's high climbing. It's her mom who is in a hurry. Her mom took her to see it. It's her reason. Recently I have been taking Chinese medicine for conditioning. You see the casserole and the Chinese medicine pack in my kitchen. It is said that it is stewed in the hospital for fear of mixing water. So take it back and stew it yourself. I stew Chinese medicine for her every day. Never said anything."

"There will be. Don't worry."

"Hey. I'm not in a hurry. As long as you and Xi Baoping are safe and healthy. I'll be fine with everything. Xinwei. Do you understand what mom means. You must not get involved."

"Yes. I understand."

Xiang Ling spoke for a long time. Came around again." I still think Jiang Hao is good. Of course. You make your own decisions about your life's events."

"Yes."

As he spoke. Jing Shang pushed the door in his arms and walked in. Xi Bao rubbed his eyes. Coquettishly said, "Mom. I'm so sleepy."

Jing Shang: "Xi Bao is going to find his mother as soon as he is sleepy. None of us can coax us."

Qiao Xinwei immediately took the child." It's mom that's wrong. Mom forgot the time when she talked to her grandmother. Xi Bao behaved. We'll go home now."

Jing Shang: "Where are you going to go so late. Don't you have a spare place at home? It's right at home."

Qiao Xinwei smiled. Said: "Brother. Thank you for your kindness. But we're going back."

Jing Shang said directly: "Aren't you divorced from Jiang Hao. It's nothing to live together like this. You're not afraid of being gossiped about."

Qiao Xinwei's face was embarrassed. It was Xiang Ling who stood up in time and said, "If you want to gossip, we will say anything. How can you manage so much. Xinwei. It's not early. Let's go back."

Jing Shangjian can't stop it. I had to say, "Then I'll send you."

That's when Qiao Xinwei remembered. Jiang Hao may be waiting for them below. Winter in the capital. Especially at night. The temperature difference between the inside and outside is more than 20 degrees. Sprinkle some water outside to freeze into ice.

Jing Shang wrapped the whole thing in Jae-xi with his cotton coat. Carry him downstairs. Jiang Hao has been waiting downstairs. They walked out of the door and saw him. He was smoking a cigarette next to the car. A little spark flickering in the dark. See them come down. He immediately extinguished the cigarette butt.

Qiao Xinwei didn't know when he started smoking. He used to smoke only a handful of times when they were together. There is no trace of smoke in the house. When I was in Linzhou. She also stumbled upon a small trash can at the door. The next morning you will find a cigarette butt or two inside. That's when she knew. He goes out to smoke every night.

She couldn't understand why gay men were so obsessed with smoking. She just wanted to ask. Just had surgery. Still smoking like this. Is it really good.

I saw Jiang Hao in Xi. All at once came the spirit." Father. Daddy."

"Huh. My good son." Jiang Hao just reached out to pick up the child. Jing Shang said with a cold face: "It's such a cold day. I'll pick up the kids in the car and talk about it."

Jiang Hao nodded. Took the key and opened the car door.

Qiao Xinwei got into the car first. Then Jing Shang handed the child in again. He took out two small toys from his coat pocket and gave them to Jae-hee. Lovingly touched Zaixi's head. He said, "Uncle will buy it for you next time."

"Xi Bao. Say goodbye to your uncle."

In the small hand of the Xi waved." Goodbye, uncle."

Jing Shang glanced at Qiao Xinwei. There was some helplessness in his eyes. It's also a little sad. He said, "Okay. Good bye. Obediently listen to your mother."

In the night. The car drove slowly forward. The child gradually fell asleep in the mother's arms. The speed of the car is not fast. Very stable. When waiting for a red light. Jiang Hao glanced back. Ask: "It's not cold, is it? Do you want to turn the heating up again?"

"No, I don't. Not cold. Wear more."

Jiang Hao smiled. There are headlights shining on the car not far ahead. There seemed to be a halo of light around him. The handsome facial features look more three-dimensional. He smiled. It immediately aroused the ripples in her heart.

"Green light. Don't drive yet."

Jiang Hao had no choice but to turn around.

to the community. Because of the cold. There were basically no people on the road. The car drove directly into the underground garage. Passage mouth. A cold wind was biting.

Jiang Hao pulled open his clothes and wrapped Xi in his arms. trotted into the elevator.

"The weather forecast says a cold snap at night. If there is. Tomorrow will be colder. Maybe it will rain too. You just stay at home and don't go out."

Qiao Xin cowered in the corner." Hmmm".

Jiang Hao leaned over again and said, "It's not cold. The cold stretched out into my pocket. Warm."

"Don't. You smell of smoke."

Jiang Hao was a little embarrassed. Sniffed. I can't smell it at all." Hehe. When you're bored. I smoked two."

"Xiao Fang told me that you just had a gastric perforation operation before the case went to trial."

"This little party is really. Why are there so many mouths."

Qiao Xinwei said with a straight face: "If it weren't for Xiao Fang to say it. You're going to keep it a secret." Seeing Jiang Hao laughing. She's not angry." Stop smoking. Hurt the body."

Jiang Hao nodded solemnly. I immediately agreed." Good. I won't smoke it in the future." Her anger is a representation of concern for him. His heart rejoiced. He said. Actually, I smoked very little after the surgery. It used to smoke fiercely. I can't quit for a while. I promise you. Quit now."

"I used to smoke very hard."

"Yes. Two or three packs a day."

"What's there to smoke."

"I don't know what to smoke. But I miss you. The more you think about it, the more you smoke. The more I smoke, the more I miss you. So I couldn't stop."

Qiao Xinwei didn't reply. The elevator also arrived. She kept her head down to keep him from seeing her face. Walked straight out of the elevator. She was sad. I think she can still watch her son live happily every day. But he's alone. Wearing a cold mask and playing the role of another person. How he felt.

Back home. As soon as you enter the door. A burst of heating came in your face. In the end, it's still warm at home.

The living room, kitchen and various rooms have been cleaned spotlessly. The dead grass in the pot has also been replaced with fresh flowers. this season. There are even blooming roses. The fuchsia roses bring a touch of brightness to the clean glass countertop. It also brought a touch of life to the whole house.

Jiang Hao carried the child to the room on the second floor. Qiao Xinwei discovered. The bed linen and duvet covers in the bedroom have been changed. Even the flowers and plants on the small balcony outside have been changed. Outside the glass window is a bitterly cold wind. The small balcony is warm as spring. The flowers in this greenhouse also have a unique style.

For children. It's bedtime. But for adults. It's really early.

Jiang Hao said: "Just let Xibao sleep alone. You open the door. If he wakes up and weeps. You'll be able to hear you." He didn't want to go downstairs. And I mentioned yì again." There have been several new movies released recently. Look at the reviews are good. Do you want to watch it together?"

"The child is sleeping at home. I'm not going out."

Jiang Hao pointed to the small living room on the second floor. Look at it at home. This is synchronized with the theater. Put on headphones and you won't be noisy."

He explained: "See you on the first day. Yunqing said that you like to watch movies when you are fine. I made this home theater specially. Pretty good. I've seen it. It's like a private room in a movie theater."

He's like a big boy who is just starting to love and inviting the girl he likes. Nervous, excited. I just want to show her the things I am proud of.

Qiao Xinwei looked carefully at the small living room. A large screen is embedded in the wall. There is a thick circular carpet on the floor. There is a low coffee table. There are also sofas with tatami mats. She thought this was just an ordinary living room. I never thought that Jiang Hao was still so hearted. I can even remember the conversation I had when we first met
