The person who came was a little girl about ten years old, she was slender and quite cultivated. Long, dressed in a simple and elegant dress, with a long green silk tied into a ponytail and hanging down to the waist. Her facial features are extraordinarily delicate, and her complexion is snowy. White, beautiful big eyes are round, with a cunning light flashing in and out. At first glance, it looks like a tender model, elegant and atmospheric, but with a sense of childishness. Tender feeling. Just looking at her appearance, I feel that it is very eye-catching and endearing.

After hugging the little girl who threw herself into her arms, she raised her eyebrows at the man next to her, her eyes full of doubt.

Louis spread his palms lightly, with a "you understand" expression.

Hugged tightly, a shallow smile appeared on the girl's lips. She took a deep breath, feeling the fresh aroma coming from the other party, and then tilted her chin, and a pair of big clear eyes stared at the woman's jaw: "Yes, don't blame Louie, I asked him to tell me your whereabouts." ”

"I heard you've been very bad lately!" Yi Yi stretched out his hand to stroke her face gently, and there was a gentle light in his eyes: "Hide my account, I have to settle it with you!" ”

"What!" Xiao Cao'er pursed her lips lightly, glared at Louis with horizontal eyebrows, and a sly look flashed on her delicate little face: "If I explain things to you now, can you act as if nothing has happened?" ”

"Of course not!" Yiyi's face sank slightly, and the fingers that were originally a girl gently followed her long hair stopped: "Xiaocao'er, what has happened obviously, we can't treat it as if it didn't happen!" Besides, if you do something wrong, even if you don't need to make up for it, what do you think you should do? ”

Xiao Cao'er pouted slightly, raised her eyebrows and secretly glanced at Louie, but seeing that the latter nodded at her, she pursed her mouth in an arc, and said with a smile at Sui: "I'm sorry, Sui!" ”

Fit to stare at her.

"Alright." Xiao Cao'er reached out to her arm and grimaced at her: "Yes, I really know it's wrong." In the future, I will never play such a dangerous game again, just forgive me once! I promise you, I will never give you any more trouble. ”

"Little grass." Seeing her sincerity, the appropriate look finally eased: "I don't blame you for causing me trouble, but if what you do is wrong, then it is not allowed." It's not a big deal to have some blemishes in life, but if the mistake you make turns into a regret that can never be remedied, it will affect your future life. I don't care what you expect from the future, I just want you to be a happy person. Be carefree and enjoy life. And not always remember their past, it is not that it is too burdensome and tiring to live like that. If one day, you feel that you are too hard to support it, your life will be a tragedy! ”

The more she spoke of the back, the more serious her expression became.

Xiaocao'er is not very old, but she seems to be able to understand what she means. She blinked, relaxed her originally biting lower lip, and nodded at suitability: "Suitability, I understand." When I do things in the future, I will think carefully first and not let myself make mistakes impulsively. I swear! ”

"Who taught you to swear by that?" It's appropriate to roll your eyes and glare at Louie fiercely.

Louis quickly twisted his face away, with an expression that had nothing to do with me.

Xiaocaoer stretched out her hands and held Shi and Louis respectively: "Let's go!" You're finally back together. I've got the kitchen ready, let's go eat first. Yes, I have a lot more to say to you! ”

Regarding the conflict between Xiaocaoer and Jenny, speaking of which, it can be regarded as the end. It's appropriate and reluctant to pursue too much, after all, the child is still young. Therefore, under the gaze of Xiaocao'er's expectant light, she nodded: "Okay! ”

Finally settled, the grass tilted her head and stuck out her tongue at Louie.

Louis reached out and tapped her forehead lightly, a smear of reproach in his eyes.

Their actions did not escape the right eye. But seeing that they were all enjoying the moment, she just pretended not to see their interaction.

Xiaocao'er is rarely naughty, and she shouldn't kill her rare happiness.

*

It's night, and it's as cool as water.

In the huge courtyard, it is suitable to sit on the bench at the front of the lawn with the little grass, and they are nestled together with each other, admiring the first snow of the winter.

The lights and shadows in the courtyard are bright, and some of the light is refracted from the frost and snow spread on the ground, which has a dazzling beauty. As far as the eye can see, the courtyard is covered in frost and snow, but it does not detract from its beauty.

"Yes, you'll be back for a few days this time!" Although she was glued to her since she got off the plane, Xiaocao'er didn't feel tired, her arms were tightly wrapped around the right arm, and her head rested on her shoulder: "If only you could stay longer." ”

"I'm sorry." Yi Yi reached out and gently stroked her hair: "The affairs of the Chen family are a little tricky. ”

"It's okay, you don't have to apologize to me. The Chen family's business is also our family's business. Besides, you also say tricky things, but I'm afraid it's really not easy to do. Xiaocao'er sighed: "If only I grew up, I could fight side by side with you." ”

Although these are the innocent words of a child, Ke Shi still feels warm in his heart. She stretched out her hand to hug Xiaocao'er, her eyes were gloomy: "Xiaocao'er, don't worry, you will definitely grow up." ”

"But I think I'm still a long time away from growing up."

"Then you can enjoy your youth for this long time! Otherwise, after a while, you will regret it. ”

"Yes, how can you say that you seem to regret your youth?" Xiao Cao'er raised her head, her eyes staring at suitability: "Suitable, are you still unable to let go of ......?"

"Nope!" Before Xiaocao'er finished speaking, she had already cut her off: "Xiaocao'er, I have forgotten all the things in the past. And I'm actually enjoying my life now...... Although it is a little hard, to be able to protect the Chen family is to protect our family. I don't regret the past, whatever my decision was, or what I lost in it! Even, I'm glad to ...... Because I have experienced so many storms, I have been able to see through many things...... And, now that you're by my side, I feel like it's worth it! ”

When Xiaocao'er heard this, the corners of her mouth curled slightly, and her smile was like a flower.

Yi Yi gently patted her cheek, saw that her hair was dyed white by frost and snow, and hurriedly pulled a thick down jacket for her: "This snow is getting heavier and heavier, are you cold?" ”

"It's not cold!" Xiaocao'er shook her head, shrunk her neck slightly, pulled up the hat of her coat to cover her head, spread her palms, and waited for the snow to fall in her palms: "I like the feeling of being with you so much, no matter what kind of environment I am in, I feel happy!" ”

"You girl-" Yi reached out and gently tapped her forehead, "You are young, you can stand such a wind and snow, but I am old, I have to go back and enjoy the heating." Let's go back to the living room and sit and watch the snow. ”

"Yes, you're only twenty-three years old, right?" Dragged to the house by suitability, Xiaocao'er bent her lips and smiled, and the curvature of her eyes was as beautiful as a crescent moon: "I'm still waiting for you to start a family and find me an uncle!" ”

"You little brain thinks too much." After entering the living room, the temperature was instantly warm, and it was suitable to take off the coat on his body, and helped Xiaocao'er put the coat away, and walked towards the sofa position in the living room with her: "I don't have time to think about that now." ”

"Louie is very good, why don't you think about him?"

Yi glanced at her: "Louie and I are just good friends, don't think too much!" ”

Xiaocao'er pouted: "I think Louie is the best match for you." ”

"I've told her a few times that she'll just go with me, but she won't." Louis poked his head out of the sofa: "Xiaocao'er, you help me persuade her, ask her to live with me in peace!" ”

"Suitability never agreed with my suggestion." Xiaocao'er shrugged: "If you want to spend time with her, find a way to impress her by yourself!" ”

"Her heart is a stone, and thunder cannot shake it."

"That's because you're not sincere enough!"

"Looks like you really want me to be able to spend time with you." The corners of Louie's mouth curled: "A man of my type is the most suitable to be a stepfather!" Come, little grass, call me—"

The words that followed were paused because of the sharp glance that suited them.

Xiaocao'er covered her mouth and smiled: "Louie, you looked so funny just now." I'll tell you, even if you were really with You, I wouldn't call you Dad! ”

"It doesn't matter, you don't call it Mammy anyway!"

"I'm so young that it's weird for others to call her Mommy." Xiaocao'er pulled suitable to sit down beside her, and put her arm around her shoulder: "I told others that suitable is my sister, and they all believe it!" ”

Louis stroked his fingertips along his chin, his eyes wandering back and forth over their faces for a moment, and then he smiled faintly, "You do look like sisters." ”

"Go aside!" Yi picked up the pillow next to him and threw it in his face, watched him catch it neatly, pouted slightly, and then turned his face to look at Xiaocao'er: "Xiaocao'er, even if others don't believe it, you have to tell them the truth." You and I are a mother and daughter, not sisters, understand? ”

"Got it." Xiaocao'er nodded obediently.

"Little grass, you are too obedient to her, I tell you, you shouldn't listen to her for everything-" Louis said this, and he was attacked again with a suitable pillow. He quickly silenced himself, and did not say anything more.

Xiaocao'er smiled very shamelessly beside her, and her curved eyebrows made her look like a happy child.

But her heart is always thinking about how to create a plan for love and marriage for the suitable.

――――――

A bar in Rome.

The lights are bright and the beauty is like jade, which is the signature of this bar.

In one corner of the bar, a man and woman are sipping alone. Although beautiful women came to talk from time to time, he was unmoved. On the contrary, after a few cups, a man approached, and he raised his eyebrows slightly, pointed to the side with his fingertips, and motioned for the other party to sit down.

"I believe in less, and I have admired the name for a long time!" After sitting down in his seat, Chi Yu smiled faintly and handed him a document in his hand: "This is the most information I can find about her at the moment." ”

"Thank you." Dongfang Xin took the document and glanced at the other party's handsome face: "If you have the opportunity to come to Wencheng, I will treat you well." ”

"Don't be so polite, you and Chu Huai are good brothers, and I treat you as friends."

"I forgot that you are Chu Huai's junior, if you go to Wencheng, it should be Chu Huai who greets you."

"I still have something to do, let's make another appointment!" Chi Yu didn't say much, and watched Dongfang Xin reach out to open the documents, and then said goodbye.

Dongfang Xin nodded, watched him turn away, and immediately flipped through the Chinese documents.

The more he looked behind, the more his brow furrowed.

I didn't expect this woman's life to be so colorful!

*

After Chi Yu left the bar, he walked to a high-end business car parked on the side of the road.

A driver opened the door for him, and he bent down and got in.

Inside the car, there was a figure. The man is in the shadows and sees his face. But faintly, you can feel the cold breath of his body. Seeing Chi Yu appear, he opened his mouth, and his voice was calm and powerful: "Handed it over to him?" ”

"Hmm." Chi Yu responded: "Recently, there are always people who want to check on her news, you have been blocking them before, why do you want to give Dongfang some real information about her this time?" ”

"It's time." The man replied lightly.

"Is this really good for Chen Yi?" Chi Yu frowned.

"Nothing bad." In the darkness, the man's eyes suddenly swept towards his face: "But for you, it may not be good!" ”

"What do you mean...... Will this affect my relationship with Chu Huai? ”

"Won't it?"

"No, it won't." Chi Yu said lightly: "The information I gave to Dongfang Xin is not fake, it is just that he has given him some important clues." ”

When the man heard this, he put his long arm on his shoulder and patted him lightly twice.

Chi Yu felt a chill down his spine.

――――――

I heard a knock on the door, and I answered.

The man pushed the door in, and saw her sitting at the front of the desk, his eyes fixed on the computer, and his eyebrows condensed: "I heard that you are looking for me?" ”

"Hmm." Yi nodded, closed the computer, stood up, and his eyes fell on his face: "You just went out?" ”

"Went out for a drink." Louis smiled, walked to the sofa and sat down: "Xiaocao is sleeping?" I thought she would have to sleep with you tonight. ”

"She'll be ten years old soon, she's not too young, how can she still sleep with me?" It is suitable to sit next to her, and her eyes are light: "She is a good child and has always been independent." Over the years, she seems to be happy on the surface, but in fact, there are not many days when she is really happy. Louie, I owe her so much. ”

Louie's thick eyebrows frowned, reached out and lightly put her on her shoulder, and put her in his arm: "Chen, you have done a lot for her!" ”

"But it's not enough!"

"I think that's enough."

Ben elbow lightly hit his chest. Withdrawing from his arm, his head leaned against the back of the sofa, his eyes fixed on the ceiling: "But I have never been able to give her a complete home." ”

Louis stared at her: "I'll let you think about me!" ”

"Don't tell me that all the time." He glanced at him: "I know you love Xiaocao'er very much, but you can't force yourself to become her father just because you love her." If I just wanted to hurt Xiaocao alone, I would have chosen a good man to marry a long time ago, and you are not the only choice. However, what I wanted to give her was a truly complete family. Unless that person is what I like and likes me, and Xiaocao accepts it, I will never make a rash decision. ”

"When you really find that person, I'm afraid that the grass has already grown."

"Even if she has grown up, it doesn't mean that she doesn't have such a family!"

"You woman—" Louis straightened his back, his green eyes staring straight at suitable, "Forget it, I can't tell you!" ”

"Is that because what I said makes sense?"

"You're narcissistic."

"I call it self-confidence!"

Louis couldn't help but bend his lips and smile, and his palm suddenly stretched out, caressing the woman's little face: "Chen Yi, sometimes I really don't know what to do with you." ”

"I don't need you to worry about it, you just have to worry about your own affairs." He slapped his palm away and said, "Besides, if you have to worry about my affairs, I'm not happy yet!" ”

"I know, I know, you're a woman!" Louis pouted.

"Do you know the word "woman?"

Louis snorted lightly: "I also have a quarter of Chinese blood, okay?" My Chinese is no worse than yours! ”

Listening to his words that refused to admit defeat, he couldn't help but laugh. It was when she was alone with Louie that she was so unbridled and happy. Come to think of it, it's a little magical!

"By the way, what are you looking for me for?" Louis remembered the original purpose of looking for her here, so he asked, "Could it be that you have communicated with me and decided to be with me?" ”

"Don't be cranky there." He glanced at him, stood up, walked to the desk and took a box, and handed it to Louis: "I'm going back to Wencheng in two days, this thing is what I promised Jack-Bussmann before, you can transfer it to him for me!" ”

"What is it?" Louis stretched out his hand to open the box, looking at the beautiful diamond placed inside, his eyes darkened: "This red diamond is a priceless treasure, you want to give it to Jack that old man?" ”

"Mrs. Boumens loves red diamonds." It is appropriate to bring it in one sentence.

"Could it be that you traded this red diamond for not holding Grass accountable for hurting Jenny?"

He shook his head: "I have something else to ask him." ”

"If it's a problem that relies on money, why don't you just ask me to help?" Louie's brows furrowed: "You don't need to trade this precious red diamond. ”

"You also say that you are good at Chinese, do you understand the Chinese saying called 'adult beauty'?"

Louis sneered: "Why don't you say that you are too stubborn and don't want to owe me favors?" ”

"Do you think I owe you less? What would I care about? He rolled his eyes: "Louie, I don't want to rely on you all the time. I know that I may depend on you for the rest of my life. However, man always lives for himself. I know you can help me once, twice, or even a thousand times, but you can't live for me. You're going to have to make me do something on my own, you say? ”

"Donkey!"

Hearing his words, the appropriate eyebrows jumped slightly.

The man had scolded her several times.

It turns out that she's really so tough-

――――――

Knowing that she would return to Wencheng in two days, Xiaocao'er told her that she would accompany her at all times in addition to rest time in the past two days.

Suitability will not refuse, so I made a good plan and played around with Xiaocaoer in the past two days.

Although Xiaocao is quiet, she likes to go to the market to find some old small objects. So they drove to Trajan's agora that day to buy something.

They parked their cars outside the market, and they got out of the car with Xiaocao'er.

"Yes, let's go to the antique market in front!" Xiao Cao'er took the right hand and pointed to the entrance of the street in front of her: "I have a lot of things to buy today." ”

"Okay, just go there!" Nodding his head, he walked forward with her cheerful steps.

Xiaocaoer likes antiquities, so she swept a lot of goods in the antique market. It is appropriate to follow her and pay the bill silently. When they came out of the antique market, it was almost lunch time, and Xiao Cao'er pointed to the Chinese restaurant opposite: "Suitable, let's go to the Chinese restaurant to eat today, okay?" ”

"It's up to you!" Suitable for drowning tunnels.

Xiao Cao'er immediately smiled and bent her eyebrows, and was about to cross the street with her suitability.

Unexpectedly, a figure rushed forward, pushed suitability forward, and then reached out and pulled her handbag, and hurried away.

After seeing the light on the road, she would get closer to the bag than others, and she said "wait for me here" to Xiaocao'er, and immediately ran after the robber.

The robber was a very fast runner, but he was faster than him, and as he was rushing down a sparsely populated alley, he caught him, and reached out and grabbed him by the shoulder, and kicked him in the stomach. The man didn't expect her to move so fast, and she was accidentally kicked to the ground directly.

The robber snorted and tried to roll over, but it was better to kick him in the back first, crushing him to the ground. Her eyes narrowed slightly, and she looked coldly at the robber who turned her head to stare at her, and her voice was condensed: "Give me back the handbag!" ”

The robber, though furious, had to hand over the bag because she was under her control.

"Don't give it to her!" A deep cry sounded from behind, and the man's sneer came: "Let him go, or I'll kill this little girl!" ”

It was suitable to turn around, but when he saw that Xiaocao'er was strangled by a tall man, his face couldn't help but change, and he shouted: "Let her go!" ”

"I won't hurt her, you let us go!" The robber gritted his teeth and said, "Otherwise, I will break her neck!" ”

"Okay!" Yi replied without thinking about it: "As long as you don't hurt her, I will promise you anything!" ”

"Get up, go!" The man spoke to the robbers on the ground.

The man stood up, grabbed the right shoulder, raised his hand and slapped her hard in the face, and scolded "Little. Son", then glanced at the accomplice who strangled Xiaocao'er, and prepared to leave with him.

But when he turned around, he repaired more than one. The long figure stood in the way. The man's eyebrows were cold, and his eyes wandered back and forth over the faces of the two robbers for a moment, and then he struck them to the ground together.

Seeing the man, the suitable body stiffened for a while.

Xiao Cao'er's eyes widened, staring at the man intently, with a complicated light flowing in her eyes.
