Treasure Reunion (3)
"Huh. Miss Kirisha is really good at talking. Cheng Yuxin smiled lightly, and since she took her seat, she hadn't taken her eyes off Mu Xiao for a moment.
She knows better than anyone what kind of person Chu Shaochen is, since she met Chu Shaochen, there has never been less women who covet him, after his divorce three years ago, he was even more entwined by Yingyan, and there are many women who want to marry him, among them, there are many artists and actresses who want to give him a hug and even take the initiative to ask him, but he has never made an appointment......
Now that he took the initiative to invite a painter whose reputation was not very famous, Cheng Yuxin had to be careful.
Chu Shaochen and Cheng Yuxin on the opposite side were all looking at her, and the four sharp gazes seemed to be able to tear through the thin veil and see her through completely, Mu Xiao began to feel uneasy: "It's really not the right time for Mr. Cheng to come, I have something important in my hands, I'm sorry, I have to go." β
Pick up the phone on the table and stuff it into your pocket.
"Hehe, a great painter, it's okay to be busy, I understand......"
Cheng Yuxin stood up with a smile, and at this time, I saw the fog yarn on the opposite side stand up, leave his seat, and walk towards the door, why is this petite figure and this walking posture so familiar?
Cheng Yuxin was slightly stunned, and for some reason, a name suddenly flashed in her mind: Mu Xiao!
Cheng Yuxin's heart tightened by her own guess, and she suddenly stood up: "Miss Wusha, please go slowly." β
Mu Xiao stopped and looked, and at this moment he was bumping into Cheng Yuxin's gaze, which was surprised, suspicious, panicked, and even had a kind of complicated anxiety and uneasiness......
Women can see women more realistically, and Mu Xiao quickly understood that Cheng Yuxin was suspicious of her.
When she returned to G City, meeting Chu Shaochen, Chu Xiaoran and Cheng Yuxin was unexpected, and all she had to do was continue to pretend: "Mr. Cheng, are you still in trouble?" β
"It's not a big deal, I just want to ask Miss Fog Sha to draw a picture." Cheng Yuxin stood up, the smile on her little face was always so enchanting and beautiful: "Shao Chen and I are getting engaged, if we are lucky enough to ask you to help us paint a painting, we must be grateful." β
At this moment, Mu Xiao's heart was suddenly filled with an inexplicable feeling, and she unconsciously looked at Chu Shaochen.
His dark brows were slightly locked, and he was staring at her for a moment, although he couldn't see her face, but he seemed to be capturing something......
Is he going to marry Cheng Yuxin?
It shouldn't have anything to do with her, does it? However, why is her heart still uneasy at this moment?
"Miss Wu, I don't know if you are willing to accept this business?"
Cheng Yuxin's delicate voice came clearly.
Mu Xiao's gaze once again cast on Cheng Yuxin's face, and at this moment, he was facing Cheng Yuxin's suspicious gaze.
Mu Xiao instantly realized that Cheng Yuxin was testing her!
If she doesn't answer, it will definitely arouse more suspicion......
At the same time, Chu Shaochen was also watching her closely, his deep and faint gaze was like a demon mirror, as if she would be exposed at any time.
Mu Xiao took a deep breath: "Mr. Cheng should also know that I only paint landscapes and never paint portraits. β
Is this a euphemistic refusal?
Cheng Yuxin's eyes flashed a trace of doubt, pursed her cherry red lips, and was about to say something, but Mu Xiao continued: "But since Mr. Cheng thinks so highly of me, I might as well give it a try, but the price may be higher than the landscape paintings I usually paint, I don't know if Mr. Cheng minds?" β
"In that case, of course the price should be higher." Cheng Yuxin stood up elegantly, and took out a gold-edged business card in her wallet with two slender fingers: "There is my phone number on it, don't you have something to do, let's talk about the details when we have time." β
"Hehe, Mr. Cheng is really refreshing."
Mu Xiao took the business card and stuffed it into his pocket: "Miss Cheng, I really envy you, it would be nice if I looked as beautiful as you, you and Mr. Chu are a good match, bless you." β
She's blessing herβ
Three years ago, Mu Xiao would never have put down the shelf and said such things to her Cheng Yuxin, right?
Cheng Yuxin was completely relieved, and her smile was natural at the moment: "Hehe, thank you." β
"You're welcome, Miss Cheng, I've already paid for the tea, you and Mr. Chu use it slowly."
"Oh, thank you."
The sound of footsteps went from near to far, followed by a gentle sound of the door closing, and Mu Xiao's petite figure went out of the door and gradually disappeared outside the door.
Chu Shaochen put his hands on the table, and his tight gaze gradually drifted.
"I took it upon myself to let Miss Fog paint, you shouldn't mind, right?"
Cheng Yuxin's gentle inquiry sounded in his ears, and Chu Shaochen's thin lips closed lightly: "Whatever you want." β
He didn't have the time or patience to sit with Cheng Yuxin and let a painter paint, the reason why he didn't stop Cheng Yuxin just now was just to see the reaction of "Fog Veil".
Her reaction was natural and normal, and it was all about business.
How could that woman be so sharp-tongued three years ago?
Now Chu Shaochen is completely desperate.
Walking out of the teahouse, Mu Xiao looked up at the sky and let out a long sigh of relief.
I've been talking in a dumb voice just now, and now my throat hurts a little, today's table is good, she must treat herself well at noon.
"Mommy!"
With a childish voice like a silver bell, the little girl with a ponytail ran to Mu Xiao's lap with a cigarette.
Mu Xiao squatted down, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile: "Yaoyao, didn't you say that you were waiting for Mommy in the car, why did you come out?" β
"Mommy is bad, Mommy lied to Yaoyao and said that she would come back in ten minutes, and now it has been a quarter of an hour before she comes back."
Yaoyao's snow-white little hands grabbed her pants, and tears rolled in her big black eyes.
"It's Mommy who is not good, Mommy is not an example, good, Mommy hugs." Mu Xiao kissed Yaoyao's pink little face, picked her up and walked towards the parking lot.
β¦β¦
"Shao Chen, let's have a cup of hot tea."
Cheng Yuxin changed the hot tea for Chu Shaochen and peeked at him.
She has had a crush on this man for ten years, and now she and him have finally achieved the right result, and the twelfth of this month is the day they get engaged, and the next thing is to get married, have children, and then spend this life together......
Thinking of this, Cheng Yuxin's cheeks couldn't help but heat slightly.
Chu Shaochen frowned slightly: "The company still has something to do, you can use it slowly." β
Before the words fell, he had already gotten up and walked out without hesitation.
Chu Shaochen walked out of the teahouse hall and was walking towards the parking space, a familiar figure passed by him, and his eyes couldn't help but chase over: it was Wusha, she was holding a girl in red and walking to the left, she shouldn't have seen him, and she didn't even greet him when she walked in front of him.
Does this woman have children?
Chu Shaochen's eyes couldn't help but pass a trace of doubt.
β¦β¦
In the dead of night, Mu Xiao sat on the edge of the bed, patting Yaoyao's back rhythmically with his right hand.
The little girl who had just changed to a new residence was very unaccustomed to it, and she was already very sleepy, but she stared at Mu Xiao with big blank eyes and uneasy: "Mommy, you said that Daddy will go home tonight, Yaoyao will wait for Daddy to come back and sleep." β
Mu Xiao lowered his head, his lips against Yaoyao's forehead: "Dad comes home late every day, and he will be unhappy to see that Yaoyao hasn't slept yet." β
Yaoyao pursed her small mouth, and her young body curled up: "Yaoyao is a good baby, don't be unhappy with your father, Yaoyao wants to sleep." β
"Well, Yaoyao is a good baby, and a good baby should go to bed on time." Mu Xiao smiled, sweet and greasy from the corners of his mouth to the bottom of his heart.
"Mommy, kiss."
"Baby, kiss."
Yaoyao curled up in the quilt and soon fell asleep.
Mu Xiao tucked the corners of the quilt for her lightly, and looked at her carefully, the immature face under the table lamp showed a red and healthy color, like a delicate cherry, which made Mu Xiao want to take a bite.
Because of the blood relationship between the parents, when the child was born, Mu Xiao was worried that she would fall into a genetic disease as mentioned in the book, and as a result, her baby was very competitive and healthy.
Mu Xiao named her "Yaoyao", which is exactly the name she used at the beginning, hoping that her daughter will be able to get the happiness that she can't get in her life.
"Mommy."
"Huh?"
Mu Xiao habitually agreed, only to find that her Yaoyao was closing her eyelids tightly, and she was dreaming.
"Mommy, can Daddy sleep in the same bed with us? The kids on TV all slept with Mommy Daddy. β
"Good, Yaoyao is still young and doesn't understand adult things, Daddy can't sleep with Mommy, baby, have a good dream."
With a light kiss on the tip of Yaoyao's delicate nose and turning off the lamp, Mu Xiao walked on tiptoe towards the next room.
Pushing open the door, as if there was a kind of breeze like a bamboo forest blowing into her nose, Mu Xiao walked in, took out the bedding she bought today in the closet and put it on the single bed.
This is Ouyang Zimo's room.
He is always very busy, he prepared this house early before Mu Xiao decided to go back to G City, Mu Xiao has already moved in, but he only came once on the day Mu Xiao moved in, and he didn't move in until tonight.
"Smack!"
His right hand accidentally touched something hard and landed crisply on the wooden floor.
It was an album, it should have been placed here on the day he came, because of the collision and vibration, one fell off, Mu Xiao bent down, picked up the album with his left hand, picked up the photo with his right hand, and was about to put the photo back, but he was stunned when he saw the image on the photo.
The person in the photo is none other than her.
Inside, she was wearing a light red swimsuit, a lifebuoy, with her back to the blue sea, smiling so naturally and brightly.
She clearly remembered that this was last autumn, it was Yaoyao's second birthday, so they decided to go to the beach to celebrate, but she never remembered when Ouyang Zimo took the photo, and washed it out and put it in his private album......
Mu Xiao was suddenly in a trance, his hands trembled for some reason, and the thin photos slipped from his fingertips, and landed at his feet with slight movements, this time with the back facing up, with a string of handwritten black characters on it.
It seems to be Ouyang Zimo's handwriting.
What would he write on her photo?
Mu Xiao hesitated for a moment, wanting to pick it up and take a clear look, but at this moment, a clear voice came from the door: "Haven't slept yet?" β
Mu Xiao leaned down half of his body and froze in place, his fingertips were pointing in the direction of the photo, squatting or getting up: "I'll sleep later, I'll ...... I didn't expect you to come back so early. β
It's eleven o'clock in the middle of the night, or is it early?
Ouyang Zimo raised his hand and looked at his watch, walked up to Mu Xiao quietly, and picked up the photo before her: "Is Yaoyao asleep?" β
Mu Xiao looked up at him, when he was standing, he was always straight and tall, the light of the lamp could not illuminate his face, and his handsome face seemed to be covered with a layer of coldness, which was very consistent with his temperament......
Mu Xiao's heart was weak: "She slept, I didn't mean to ...... this photo"
"The person in the photo is not you, it has nothing to do with you."
He interrupted her lightly, and there seemed to be some kind of love hidden in his dark eyes that he didn't want to be noticed by her: "You don't go to accompany Yaoyao?" β
He was driving her away, Mu Xiao smiled: "I'll go with her right away, I bought you new sheets, bedding and pillows, blue, you should like it, good night." β
"Good night!"
His voice was low, and his brows were deeply locked for some reason at this moment, as if he wanted Mu Xiao to disappear from him immediately.
Mu Xiao was interested, smiled politely at him, turned around and walked towards the door.
The little hand grabbed the doorknob, and was about to bring the door for him, when his cold voice came from behind him: "I went to Y City yesterday, and the bracelet arrived." β
Which bracelet?
Mu Xiao wanted to ask, but turned his head and saw him sitting on the edge of the bed, his dark eyes looking at the direction of her waist lonely, as if the disgust in his eyes would be revealed if she said one more word, Mu Xiao didn't dare to bother him anymore, "oh", and closed the door with his hand.
"Click!"
Her figure had completely disappeared in front of him, and through the thick door, Ouyang Zimo still seemed to be able to hear her footsteps gradually moving away, the originally slightly frowning eyebrows slowly eased, and after a moment of silence, he carefully put the photo into the album.
Removing the camouflage of indifference, lying down lazily, the brand-new pillows, sheets, and thin quilts exuded the fragrance of fruit trees, which made Ouyang Zimo relaxed and uneasy.
Perhaps, it was a mistake for him to accompany this woman to Y City in the first place.
When Mu Xiao walked to the door, she heard the sound of snoring coming from the room, she walked lightly to the bed, Yaoyao slept soundly, her little hands were on her face, and there was a sweet smile on the corner of her mouth.
"See you tomorrow, baby."
With a knowing smile, Mu Xiao got into bed lightly, and as soon as she lay down, she felt her head pressing against a cold and hard thing, she grabbed it easily, and she could still see that it was a bracelet through the thin light outside the window.
The bracelet itself is an elegant white gold, with twelve ice crystals scattered on it, still shining in the dim light.
Mu Xiao suddenly remembered that she had seen this bracelet at a jewelry fair in Y City last year, and the price was not expensive, and she had asked the jeweler at that time, but the jeweler told her that the bracelet had been ordered, and that there would be no more of the same bracelet in the world......
Mu Xiao could still remember that Ouyang Zimo was answering the phone at the door when she was talking to the jeweler, but he didn't expect him to hear it from so far away.
This cold and indifferent man was originally a mystery.
Three years ago, he accompanied her to Y City to settle her down, and after the child was born, he lived with Mu Xiao in the name of the child's father.
He rarely goes back, sometimes he goes on a mission for a few months, at first he was still talking and laughing with Mu Xiao, but then he didn't know what was wrong, and suddenly there were a lot fewer words, and sometimes even Mu Xiao felt that he was deliberately alienating her and snubbing her......
Mu Xiao is not good at guessing people's hearts, besides, a man like Ouyang Zimo is inherently unpredictable, she thinks that this is actually better, the more estranged he is from her, the clearer the line between him and her is drawn, so that she can be more comfortable and good to him.
In the past three years, her brother-in-law has paid too much for her and Yaoyao, and she and Yaoyao have to treat him well.
