"How is your father doing?"

Wu Xia picked up another apple and peeled it gently, the peel of the fruit slowly drooped in the pair of girlish and delicate soft wattles, but it was never broken.

"The body is great, and the food is fragrant...... Oh, I mean, he's in good health, and he can't tell that he's almost fifty years old, of course, you still can't compare with Sister Xia. ”

Speaking of which, Li Mengnan hasn't been to see Li Hongming for a while, and can only describe it according to the impression of the only time they met, but the Nading family runs their own hospital, so there must be no big problems in such a short time.

Wu Xia looked a little surprised after listening to Li Mengnan's words, and frowned and said, "How is this possible?" Could it be that his dark wounds are healed? ”

"Assassination? What dark wounds? At that time, he only got along with Li Hongming for a short afternoon, and Li Mengnan didn't notice anything wrong with Li Hongming.

"It's a long story, the dark wounds on Hongming's body are still left by my father back then...... My father thought that this would force him to marry me, but who knew that Hongming was also a stubborn temper, and would rather leave with an injury than bow to my father. Wu Xia shook her head and sighed lightly, every time she remembered the mistake of the year, she would feel extremely regretful, "By the way, did your father never tell you?" ”

"Uh...... I'm talking a long story, but I didn't grow up with my parents. ”

So, Li Mengnan used the shortest possible language to tell Wu Xia about his life experience.

"So that's the case, no wonder you can't see a little shadow of your father on your body except for your looks, it's really a poor child."

After listening to Li Mengnan's story, Wu Xia couldn't help but shed two lines of sad tears, and then looked at Li Mengnan's expression with a little more pity.

"Actually, it's okay, although I don't have any memories of my parents getting along together, but the blood relationship on my body has always been unchangeable, and I didn't expect more before I came to Sanshan City, as long as I know that they are still alive and healthy, it is enough...... What's more, I'm getting a lot more than I expected. ”

Li Mengnan has never felt how bitter he is, anyway, he has never gotten it, so he doesn't care about losing.

"You little guy has a good mentality." Wu Xia nodded approvingly, and suddenly asked, "You shouldn't have a girlfriend yet, right?" Do you want to try to have a relationship with Xiaosu? Don't look like a tomboy this kid, but that's just because you haven't found someone you like, as long as you date her for a while, you will understand that once she puts her heart into it, she will be gentler than any girl......"

Li Mengnan laughed dryly a few times - gentle? Just Wu Ansu's female tyrannosaurus?

Wu Xia knew the image of her daughter in the other party's heart as soon as she saw Li Mengnan's expression, and couldn't help laughing, took a small bite of the peeled apple in her hand, and said softly: "What do you think of me?" ”

"Sister Xia is very good...... Although she doesn't look like an elder, she is like a big sister, very gentle and feminine. "Li Mengnan will say even if it is a hypocritical compliment, let alone the truth.

"If you have the opportunity to meet your father, ask him and you will know that I was even more rude and barbaric than Xiao Su now, and when I first met your father, he was beaten by me a lot......"

Recalling the wolf bèi appearance of Li Hongming hugging her head under her fist, Wu Xia couldn't help but laugh, and a shy flush gradually appeared on her girlish and delicate face.

Wu Xia, the charming woman at the moment, even Li Mengnan couldn't help but swallow her saliva subconsciously when she saw it, and her heart was like ten thousand divine beasts roaring past - such a amorous woman would be wilder than Wu Ansu, the female tyrannosaurus? This is completely unscientific!

However, this mother and daughter do look very similar, and the current Wu Ansu is a young version of Wu Xia, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not become like this in the future.

Li Mengnan tried to overlap the picture imagined in his mind with Wu Ansu in his impression, and suddenly found that these two images were a bit inconsistent no matter how he thought about them...... It's like a great change of life.

"Sister Xia, you don't look like what a mother should say." Li Mengnan patted his face, dispelled the two completely different images of Wu Ansu in his mind, and said, "Regardless of my relationship with Wu Ansu...... As a mother, you should always think about Wu Ansu's happiness in the second half of her life, right? Even if she doesn't find a young talent, she shouldn't find a poor boy like me, right? Or do you want to get back some of the regrets in your daughter that didn't materialize back then? ”

Li Mengnan didn't want to borrow his merry father's light in personal matters.

"Although your kid is a little thick-skinned, he is very similar to Hongming back then in sticking to his principles." The pair of beautiful Danfeng eyes that were very similar to Wu Ansu were a little blurry, and after a pause, Wu Xia smiled and waved her hand: "You think too much, it is precisely because I had such regrets back then, I don't want Xiao Su to leave the same regrets...... Don't you notice anything today? ”

"What do you mean?"

Wu Xia turned her head sideways, glanced in the direction of Wu Ansu's room, smiled meaningfully, and said, "Do you think a beautiful girl will drink in front of a man for no reason?" This shows at least two things - one, she is defenseless against you; Two, she's giving you a chance. ”

Li Mengnan scratched his face in embarrassment, he admitted that what Wu Xia said was the truth, and he had no way to refute it.

"Although Xiao Su looks like a boy in terms of personality, she is very conservative in terms of feelings, and it is rare to muster up such courage today, and I can't hold her back as a mother...... I'm going out to live tonight, I'll leave it to you here, turn left downstairs is the pharmacy, pay attention to safety. ”

While speaking, Wu Xia playfully squeezed her eyes at Li Mengnan, got up and picked up the coat on the hanger and was about to go out.

Li Mengnan has been scorched by thunder at the moment - why go out to live? What to pay attention to safety? Is this still what a person should say? Sister Xia, there must be a limit to selling cuteness, you can't sell your daughter! Could it be that Wu Ansu really sent it with phone bills?

"Wait, Sister Xia, you should stay here tonight...... By the way, I still have to become a messenger of justice to save the earth, and I really don't have time. Li Mengnan clapped his hands with his hands, and his face was abrupt.

Wu Xia suddenly turned around and grimaced at Li Mengnan again, obviously just making a show just now, and she didn't plan to leave at all, or she had already guessed from the beginning that Li Mengnan would not stay at all.

"I also gave your father a chance to get drunk like this back then, but he actually sat on the edge of the bed all night, this bastard, is the old lady so terrible? I'd rather have a cold than go to my mother's bed......"

With such fierce words, Li Mengnan finally believed that Wu Xia back then was definitely a standard female man who was not inferior to Wu Ansu.

But then again, my dad was enough for a tendon back then, and sleeping in the same bed doesn't mean that something has to happen, so why be stupid and freeze by the bed all night?

Wait a minute...... What do you seem to have overlooked? Deliberately drunk?

Li Mengnan suddenly realized, it turned out that his father was not stupid, with this Wu Xia's fierce character, it was good that the two did not have physical contact, once they got into bed, it would be reversed......

Wu Xia did not go to the opposite side of Li Mengnan through the coffee table this time, but sat directly beside him, gently put her hand on the back of his hand, and said with a serious expression: "Xiao Nan, although the older generation should not interfere too much in the affairs of the next generation, but Xiao Su is my only daughter after all, I don't want her life to leave regrets like mine, I hope you can understand."

I'm not forcing you to accept Xiao Su, Xiao Su doesn't have a good personality, and she is older than you, so it's normal for you to not accept her easily.

I only hope that you can give Xiao Su a chance, don't reject her at the beginning, I can assure you that when you fully understand Xiao Su, your impression of her will definitely not be what it is now.

If you still can't accept her at that time, no matter what you have done to Xiao Su or how deeply you hurt her, I will remain silent, after all, this is a life ordeal that every woman must go through, and it is good to let Xiao Su understand this truth as soon as possible...... Of course, at her age, it's actually too late. ”

From Wu Xia's pleading, Li Mengnan felt the most about a mother's protection and love for her child, since the words were all said about this, it would be a little impersonal to refuse again, so he nodded and said: "Since you said so, then I will try to date Wu Ansu for a while first......

Although Li Mengnan never thought of dating Wu Ansu, he didn't hate this violent woman, anyway, the police station had to do a fake show for a while, and it was not impossible to take the opportunity to date for a while.

Whether the two are compatible or not is not something that can be determined by first impressions alone, but always have a deeper understanding.

"Well, that's it!" Wu Xia raised her hands like a child and cheered, hugged Li Mengnan from behind, and buried his head between the two **** on his chest without hesitation, "In the future, you will treat this place as your home, even if you don't come to see Xiaosu, you have to come to see Sister Xia often!" ”

"Hey, Sister Xia, don't ...... like that"

"Yo? Flushed? Huo Huohuo, sure enough, I'm still as charming as I was back then! If you don't call your mother to listen to it, I can make an exception and allow you to be coquettish in my arms......"

Looking at the Wu Xia in front of him, who suddenly let out a queen-style classic three-stage smile, Li Mengnan became more and more cold sweat, and said in his heart, Is this still the gentle and virtuous beautiful woman just now? How does it feel like a split personality? Or is this her true face, and the qiē she saw just now is actually a disguised illusion?

At this moment, Xiao Bao'er suddenly called, obviously the little girl was already in a hurry, Li Mengnan immediately got up and said, "Sister Xia, it's not too early, I should go, you see, everyone in the family has called to urge me...... Good night, see you another day, no need to send it, I know the way myself. ”

Sealing all the excuses that Wu Xia might find in one go, Li Mengnan grabbed his coat and rushed out of the door as if he were fleeing.

He can easily play with a group of young and beautiful girls, but against such a fairy-like aunt-level beautiful young woman, the pressure is too great...... Li Mengnan was suddenly very glad that his father married Ding Linglong after the divorce, if he married Wu Xia, an ageless goblin, it is estimated that he will completely become an interesting toy in the eyes of the other party.

Well, it should be something like a limited edition Li Hongming doll or something like that.

……

Standing at the door and watching Li Mengnan's wolf figure disappear at the corner of the stairs, Wu Xia closed the door, clasped her hands on her shoulders, and a mysterious smile hung on the corner of her mouth, and suddenly turned around and said, "Everyone has already left, and you haven't come out yet?" ”

The bedroom door was slowly opened, and Wu Ansu poked his head out of it lightly, although his face still had a touch of drunken crimson, but his eyes were bright, how could there be any signs of drunkenness?

"Sister Xia, did he really agree?" General Wu Ansu was suspicious, she didn't fully hear the conversation between the two just now through the door.

"That's what I'm talking about, from childhood to adulthood, as long as I go out, is there anything I can't do?" Wu Xia patted her chest and cocked her nose proudly, "It's you girl, you are not small, you dare to even use such a big trick as pretending to be drunk?" Are you not afraid of being eaten and wiped clean and not admitted? ”

He ...... Probably not that kind of person. Knowing that he couldn't hide it, Wu Ansu had no choice but to defend Li Mengnan with a red face.

"Come less! You just want to gamble, but you're not sure, are you? Wu Xia glanced at her angrily, what kind of temper is the daughter who has been raised for more than 20 years, and can she still understand as a mother?

Wu Ansu stuck out her tongue embarrassedly, hugged Wu Xia's neck and began to be coquettish, completely lacking her heroic appearance on weekdays, just like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl.

Wu Xia didn't really reprimand Wu Ansu, after all, she also had a young and impulsive time, so she could naturally understand Wu Ansu's almost reckless approach, she touched Wu Ansu's head dotingly, and said: "But then again, your girl's intuition is quite accurate, Li Mengnan's character is good, I like him a lot, although you can rest assured that you have a good relationship with him, I will not object......"

Wu Ansu was actually most worried about her mother's opposition, after all, she and Li Mengnan were not very compatible, and now she was extremely happy to hear her mother say this, and then she couldn't help but be curious: "Mom, do you and Li Mengnan's father really know each other?" ”

"Nonsense! If I didn't know, I could have seen him just call his father's name? I don't have the ability to do the math. ”

"What you said to him...... It's all true, too? You...... Actually, don't love Dad? The person Wu Ansu respects and admires the most is her father, and her mother's previous words made her a little unacceptable.

Wu Xia understood Wu Ansu's mood, patted her shoulder comfortingly, and said, "Xiao Su, you are an adult, I think you should be able to understand...... The one who comes together with himself in the end may not be the one he loves the most in his heart, and it is responsibility to maintain marriage, not love. ”

"Yes...... Dad has always loved you, isn't this too unfair to Dad? ”

Wu Xia stretched out her hand and patted Wu Ansu's face a few times, and said with a smile: "Silly boy, how can there be any fairness or unfairness in such a thing as feelings?" Just like you have for that Li Mengnan, have you been equal in response to the feelings you give? Didn't you still do it willingly, and have you considered whether it's fair? ”

"I ......" Wu Ansu was speechless for a while.

Wu Xia pulled Wu Ansu to sit on the sofa, held her head in her arms, and stroked her smooth shoulder-length short hair, which looked like a pair of intimate sisters at first glance.

"In the world, not everything can be done perfectly according to one's own wishes, especially for people from clans like us, who have more restrictions than ordinary people...... At least you are very lucky, you are from the main house, you can choose the person you like to spend your life with according to your own wishes, your sisters from the studio are not as lucky as you, their future fate can only be passively accepted, and they have no right to choose by themselves. ”

Wu Ansu understood that what her mother said was true, she grew up in the clan academy before she was in elementary school, and she knew all the rules in the clan, as a branch descendant with an orthodox bloodline, she already had a lot of freedom.

"Sister Xia, although you have taught me these since I was a child, I still can't understand it...... Why does our clan have such strange rules as the main room and the shadow room? ”

"Do you know what a main house and a studio are?" Wu Xia asked rhetorically.

Although Wu Ansu didn't understand why her mother was asking such an obvious thing, she still nodded truthfully.

She knew from a very young age that her mother's surname was not Wu, but Yun, from a large clan surnamed Yun that had been inherited for hundreds of years, and her ancestors belonged to the third branch bloodline.

In addition to the rules that ordinary clans are accustomed to prohibiting infighting and mutual assistance, this clan surnamed Yun also has an extremely unique rule - if there is a person with a foreign surname who marries a woman in the clan, the clan will also marry an additional concubine woman of the same bloodline.

The woman of the orthodox blood who marries is called the "main house", and the woman who is out of the house is called the "shadow room".

Wu Ansu is also very clear, don't look at the deceased father's affection for her mother, but in fact, she also has a "shadow room" aunt, but due to the restrictions of the laws of Huaxia, this aunt has been living alone in the city like a shadow, and has not lived with them.

However, when she was very young, she had accidentally seen a beautiful woman on a par with her mother, who seemed to be pregnant with Rokka, with a huge belly, and a happy face walking in the park in the company of her father.

At that time, Wu Ansu was still young, and he didn't understand what this meant, but he just felt strange why he couldn't live together even though he was a family.

As she grew older, she realized how unusual this was.

"Xiao Su, there are some people in this world who are born different...... It's like our Yun family. Wu Xia sighed softly and continued: "You grew up in the clan when you were a child, I don't know if you have noticed that there are very few men surnamed Yun in our Yun family, and the vast majority of the clan are women?" ”
