The noon sun shone in from the floor-to-ceiling windows of the balcony, a little dazzling, Xiao Yan raised his hand, covered his eyes, and closed his eyes to recuperate.

There were footsteps approaching behind her, but she didn't move, her red lips curled up happily, and she smiled softly, "Husband, are you done?" ”

"Well, not yet, I have to go out with my grandfather." The man leaned over and hugged her from behind, his handsome face against her face, rubbing it gently, and his tone was slightly strict, "Why are you sitting here?" ”

Xiao Yan turned his head, touched the tip of his nose, and comforted him with a chuckle, "Hehe, don't think about it, don't have a psychological shadow, I'm fine, I'm purely looking at the scenery, looking out from here, you can see most of the manor, it's very beautiful." ”

When he was young, he saw his mother jumping from here with his own eyes, even in the past twenty years, it was still a wound in Xu Jinqiao's heart that could not be healed, if it weren't for Xiao Yan's insistence on living in this room, he wouldn't even have the courage to walk into this house, let alone stand on the balcony.

After Qiao Shu's accident, the old man asked people to add protective railings outside the floor-to-ceiling windows of the balcony to prevent anyone from jumping off the building, but this is just a useless remedy, Qiao Shu's room, Jing Aihua can't live, Xu Jin Qiao also has an independent room, and then Xu Jin Qiao has been gone for fifteen years, even if he returns, he has never lived, so this house is always vacant, only the maid comes in regularly to clean it.

After coming to Seattle, Xiao Yan naturally thought about her mother-in-law Qiao Shu, so she offered to go to the room where Qiao Shu lived before her death, and wanted to pay respects, and then after entering the room, she liked the style of the room very much, so she boldly wanted to live in, Xu Jin Qiao naturally objected, but she couldn't stand her grinding, and finally had to agree.

"Bao'er ......" Xu Jin Qiao called her lightly, picked her up by the waist, walked back to the side, and fell on the * with her.

"Husband, you really don't have to worry about me, I regret my life, I still have to give birth to a baby, watch the baby and Belle grow up, and watch them get married and have children." Xiao Yan lay on his side, his elbows supporting his head, pointed at the bridge of his high nose, and smiled with bent lips, "More importantly, I want to live well and grow old with you." ”

Xu Jin Qiao's eyes were hot, he pulled down her head and kissed her lips deeply.

Nothing, he thought, could separate them, not even death.

She was his wife.

They live and die together.

Xu Jin Qiao went out, leaving Xiao Yan to take a nap, woke up bored, ate something, and sat on the balcony to watch the scenery.

Suddenly, there was a puppy "Wang" sound, intermittently into her ears, she stood up, lay on the floor-to-ceiling window and looked out, looked for a long time, and finally found a snow-white puppy in the lawn not far away, but it was far away, and she couldn't see clearly.

Xiao Yan's heart moved, and she hurriedly went out, and when she passed through the hall on the first floor, she met Xu Jiangchong, she lowered her head, her mouth was pursed, and she was silent.

Since that night, after her life story was revealed, she went to Seattle with Xu Jinqiao the next day, and never got along with Xu Jiangchong again, only later heard Xu Jinqiao say that Xu Jiangchong and Jing Aihua separated, Xu Jiangchong could not forgive Jing Aihua's deception, no matter how Jing Aihua repented and prayed, he did not move back to their room, and not long after, because of the company's affairs, Xu Jiangchong and the old man flew back to Seattle alone, leaving Jing Aihua and Xu Yan in New York.

During this period, Jing Aihua also called several times to talk to Xiao Yan, but Xiao Yan didn't answer, she avoided both Jing Aihua and Xu Jiangchong, because she didn't know what identity to face these two people.

"Xiao Yan." Xu Jiangchong opened his mouth first, his expression was complicated, and his voice was low, "You...... You can continue to call me dad, no matter whose daughter you are, you will always be my daughter-in-law, this fact cannot be changed. ”

Xiao Yan's fingers tightened, the world is so big, when she was small, she was so small, she always thought that her mother, who had passed away a long time ago, was still alive, and she was still the junior who broke up other people's families, and she even became her husband's stepmother!

It's been a month, she still can't accept it, and every time she wakes up in the middle of the night and sees Xu Jinqiao standing by the window in a daze, she feels uncomfortable, she understands that Xu Jinqiao is because of her, so she doesn't mention Jing Aihua, and no longer says that she hates Jing Aihua, but if he doesn't say it, it doesn't mean that he doesn't hate in his heart, seeing her husband so depressed and alive, how can she not be sad?

She would rather that her mother was a beautiful dream in her heart, rather than uncovering her dreams with such a bloody reality, cruel layers of layers, and shattering her dreams unexpectedly.

"Xiao Yan ......"

"Dad, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I don't know why it's like this, I ......"

Xu Jiangchong pulled his lips and interrupted her, "It's not your fault, you are also a poor child, you have no father or mother since you were a child." Don't take it to heart, the grievances and grievances of the previous generation have nothing to do with you, so wait for childbirth with peace of mind! ”

"Well, thank you Dad." Xiao Yan nodded, his nose was very sour.

Xu Jiangchong left, took a few steps, and suddenly turned back, "Are you still used to living with Aqiao these days?" I mean...... Is there anything you don't get used to living in Acho's mother's room? ”

Xiao Yan replied truthfully, "It's good, the room is sunny, and you can get the sun as soon as you open your eyes every day, which is very comfortable." ”

"Oh." Xu Jiangchong nodded thoughtfully and turned to go upstairs, but his body was slightly stiff.

That room is also the room where he and Qiao Shu have lived together for many years, although he is rarely at home, and even if he comes back, he rarely lives with Qiao Shu, but he still has some impressions of the furnishings and layout in that room.

As he passed by the room, he stopped unexpectedly, looked at the closed door, and stood still for a long time, but finally did not step in, and continued to walk.

The state of mind is a complexity that cannot be hidden.

Xiao Yan stepped out of the villa and went to the lawn, she looked for a while in the direction she saw upstairs, before she found the puppy under the grape trellis, she squatted down, stretched out her hand to the puppy, and grinned, "Dog, don't be afraid, I won't hurt you, let me hug you, okay?" ”

"Wow!"

The puppy didn't recognize her life, barked happily at her, and stretched out her two front paws to pick her trouser legs, she couldn't help but sigh, and touched the puppy's head, "Really good, what's your name?" ”

Of course, the puppy can't speak, and it can't be expressed except for Wangwang.

"Young lady!"

Xiao Yan was teasing the puppy, and the servant in charge of domesticating the puppy hurriedly ran over, bowed to her, and respectfully introduced, "This is a Rotville dog, named Lucy, still very young, just born, it has a stable personality, very affectionate, and smart and clingy, if Lucy and Mrs. are familiar, they will be loyal to Mrs. ”

"Oh, it's called Lucy, hee-hee, I'm idle and bored, and I'm playing with it." Xiao Yan came to his senses, couldn't help but touch the puppy's head again, and communicated cordially, "Lucy, accompany me to relieve my boredom, let's go for a walk, okay?" ”

Lucy was very human, and as if she understood, she wagged her tail and barked.

Xiao Yan snapped his fingers in satisfaction, "OK, let's go!" ”

One person and one dog started a walk, the manor is very large, Xiao Yan stops and goes, and when he is tired, he finds a place to sit down and rest, Lucy is also well-behaved, and has been following her, sometimes running in front of her and waging her tail, sometimes licking her trouser legs, cheerful.

"Lucy, you run slower, I can't go too fast!"

The puppy ran ahead, running faster and faster, Xiao Yan couldn't help shouting, inadvertently raised her eyes and looked, and happened to walk under the balcony, she stopped, put her hand on her forehead, looked at the floor-to-ceiling window, and an image flashed in her mind inexplicably, Qiao Shu was nervous, shouted, and jumped through the window......

Her heart tightened, she gasped involuntarily, and slowly squatted down.

"Wow!"

Lucy ran back and circled around Xiao Yan, Xu saw that Xiao Yan's mood had changed, and it also quieted down, but after lying at Xiao Yan's feet for a while, it became active again, running around.

Straight below the balcony, there is a small flower bed, planted with flowers and plants of the four seasons, Lucy jumped in to dig the soil to play, Xiao Yan wanted to stop, but she didn't bother to speak, all she thought about was Qiao Shu, and she was not in the mood to pay attention to Lucy, who knows, after a while, Lucy suddenly screamed, "Wangwang......"

Xiao Yan looked over suspiciously, and asked lazily, "Lucy, what's wrong with you?" ”

Lucy turned her head to look at her, still screaming so hard that she had to get up and muttered as she walked towards Lucy, "You have broken the flower bed, be careful that the master cleans you up, you are still calling indiscriminately." ”

"Woo Woo ......"

Lucy kept screaming, Xiao Yan walked closer, only to find that Lucy's left front paw was hooked by something, and he couldn't move, and a little blood oozed out!

"God, what's going on?"

Xiao Yan was startled, and hurriedly stepped into the flower bed, squatted beside Lucy, and checked the situation, only to see that Lucy had cut a relatively deep pit, hooking the things on its front paws, revealing half of them, which looked like women's jewelry!

Xiao Yan twisted his eyebrows, "What is this?" ”

Thinking like this, she folded a flower branch and continued to dig the soil along the perimeter of the jewelry, and soon the soil was loose, and the thing was completely exposed, it was actually a Czech glazed flower retro hairpin!

Lucy's front paws were rescued, and he immediately jumped off the flower bed deftly, and Xiao Yan picked up the hairpin, stunned......

Whose thing is this? Why is it buried in the ground?
