Cui Ling was about to get goosebumps when she heard this.

In her shallow impression, Cui Chengkai has always been very cold to her, and she rarely meets her on weekdays, and when she does, she just nods her head and says yes. Although it seems that he does not particularly love the three children born to his stepwife Yang, he is always much warmer than her.

As her father, Cui Chengkai is obviously unqualified.

However, there were also beautiful times in memory.

When she was reborn after death and opened her eyes, she was still a newborn baby, although she was an adult wrapped in a baby's shell, thinking and assertive, but before the age of three, she basically did not have the ability to move freely.

At that time, her mother Roche was still alive and well, and gave her all the greatest love a mother could give.

His father was not the mediocre and taciturn person he was later, he was very cheerful and full of blood, and he loved her mother and loved her.

I still remember that the first thing he did when he returned home every day was to take her for a walk in the garden, and he never went out to drink and have fun with his fox friends and dogs on his days, always accompanied his wife and children at home, and held her all day long.

A few times, I was bumped into by my grandfather, and my grandfather said with a calm face, "If you don't hug your grandson, you hold the nine girls in your hands all day long, and you are not afraid of being seen by outsiders and laughing." If you have time, don't stay at home all the time, go out more to socialize with your colleagues, the officials are the key divisions, and your superiors will not give you a promotion just by looking at your father's face. ”

My father always replied with a smile, "Daddy, look at how cute my Ling'er is, if you don't hug her more now, she will grow up soon, and I won't be happy to hug her when the time comes." ”

At that time, although Cui Ling felt awkward to be held in the arms of a big man, she couldn't deny that her heart was full of happiness and emotion.

She was born in a barren mountain village in her previous life, her parents gave birth to many children, as a daughter who was not expected, she had no childhood at all, nor did she receive the so-called father's love and mother's love, and the family affection between brothers and sisters was pitiful.

Although she has never resented, people's need for emotion always exists objectively, and she has always longed and looked forward to receiving father's love and mother's love. However, when she endured hardships and achieved success, her parents and siblings surrounded her as she wished, but not because of family affection, but because of money.

At the moment when she was crushed in the ruins and gradually withered and died from thirst and hunger, she made a wish for an afterlife, hoping for a happy family, a pair of parents who loved her and deserved her love.

Then, the moment she opened her eyes, she really got it.

Cui Ling felt very happy.

However, when she was three years old, her mother Luo Che suffered from a menacing illness, and it didn't take long for her to die.

If Luo's death was a bolt from the blue, then Cui Chengkai's depression was a nightmare for Cui Ling.

The lively and cheerful young man, who was always smiling and kind, was gone, he was low, dark, lonely, decadent, and gradually became taciturn and no longer talking, and lost interest in everything, including his daughter, whom he had once loved most.

Later, Cui Chengkai obeyed his parents' orders and married the daughter of Jiangdong An's family as a continuation, and gave birth to three children in succession.

He still lives a life without spirit like a marionette, and he is becoming more and more alienated and indifferent to Cui Ling.

Cui Ling didn't expect to see her father's emotional face in this life, which evoked the beauty in her memory that was so far away that it was almost buried. But this concern came too late, and she was not only rusty, but also resistant.

When she decided to enjoy her new life, her father retreated.

When she decided to start her life again in the Yuan family, the role of her father suddenly appeared.

But at this time, she clearly didn't need a loving father.

She has grown up, she is married, and when her mother died and needed her father's love and care, she faced it and spent it alone, and in the rest of her life, she didn't feel that she needed her father to escort her.

Cui Ling still had the same smile on her face as always, but her steps involuntarily took a small step back.

Cui Chengkai saw his daughter's reaction, and his heart hurt like a knife.

He had a thousand words in his belly that he wanted to talk to her, but when the words came to his mouth, he found that he couldn't say a single one.

Daoqian? It's too late.

Curse swearing? There is no need.

Tell her about his concerns? No, it's too dangerous.

Let her continue to misunderstand him? Although he is unwilling, it seems that at the moment, it can only be like this.

Cui Chengkai's hands trembled slightly, and he slowly raised his shoulders to caress Cui Ling like An Ningbo just now, but those hands were only half raised, and then they were put down heavily.

He smiled reluctantly, "Ling'er, you talk to grandmother a lot here, and I'll go to Juying Hall to accompany the guests." ”

With that, he hurried away.

Cui Ling frowned slightly.

This is about the longest sentence my father has ever said to her since her mother's death.

Although she pretended to be stupid and dull on the outside, she had been immersed in the environment she had set up for all these years, and she had indeed lost her due judgment on some things around her, but the years of camp life in her previous life did not leave no trace of her.

That is, she is sensitive.

Cui Chengkai's performance just now was too abnormal, although he didn't reveal anything, Cui Ling intuitively felt that he had a lot of secrets hidden in him, and those secrets were very likely to be related to himself.

What is his desire to speak?

The aunt in the second room asked, "Xiao Jiu, tell me about the second aunt, how is the Yuan family?" ”

Cui Ling quickly came back to her senses, and her usual smile returned to welcoming people, she turned her head with a smile, and began to chat with her second aunt and several cousins.

After a while, a little girl came to spread the word that today's banquet was in the flower hall, and the old lady invited the ninth aunt and grandmother to come over.

As usual, it is a table of feasting food, and it is extremely rich.

If it was a change from the past, Cui Ling must be looking forward to it, because the wine and food of the banquet guests are different from home-cooked dishes, and there are always a few famous dishes that take special effort to show special style. But after the Yuan family lived with Lao Taijun for two days, she no longer had any expectations for the cooks of Anningbo's Mansion.

Color, slightly less attractive.

The aroma is barely quite strong.

The taste is not satisfactory.

In addition, Cui Chengkai's expression was not quite right, she had something in her heart, and the taste of the food would inevitably be disturbed by emotions and become less delicious.

Cui Ling didn't eat much, and the county lord of Yining only touched his mouth slightly.

Finally finished the meal, Cui Ling looked at the county lord and said, "Sister-in-law, let's sit for a while and go home." ”

She has always disliked this kind of crowded and lively scene, she used to be afraid of making mistakes, but now she is not in the mood.

Originally, she also thought that since it was rare to come back once, why did she have to go to the Xinxiang Pavilion where she used to live to remember, in the end, she spent more than ten years there.

But when I was chatting just now, I found out that her niece moved in yesterday in her former yard.

An Ningbo's Mansion has a large population and few houses, she has always known it, and she also knows that the Cui family will not keep the former residence of her married daughter like other people's families, just like her Xinxiang Pavilion, which used to be the residence of an aunt who married far away.

However, she has only been married for a few days......

All these things are added up, and she feels that this time she is not fun, it is not interesting at all, and she has added a lot of blockages to herself.

The county lord of Yining was slightly surprised, but still nodded, "Well, it's okay, I didn't sleep well last night, I have a headache, and I miss home to rest." ”

Cui Ling knew that the county lord was looking for her to go down the stairs.

After lunch, if he really only sat for a while, the county lord of Yining led Cui Ling to leave.

Although the time to go back this time is a little earlier, but the county lord of Yining is noble, and she said that she has a headache and discomfort, can the people of Anningbo Mansion still be forced to stay? So, Mrs. An Ningbo took a few daughters-in-law to the second gate in person, and watched the carriage slowly go out of the door, and then returned.
