"Mom, are you hungry? I'm going to buy you some snacks. Purple You Pavilion" Bai Muqing pointed to the dim sum house next to him.

"No need."

"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Bai Muqing found that Zhu Huili's eyes were wet, so she stopped and looked at her and asked, "Is Xiaoyi's condition bad?" ”

Mother's heart is only petty. She knows. So when I saw the tears in her eyes, the first thing that came to mind was that something happened to Xiaoyi.

Zhu Hui shook her head, looked at her and said apologetically: "Mom just feels sorry for you." ”

It was the first time she heard her mother say such things, Bai Muqing felt bitter in her heart, and then smiled lightly: "Mom, from today onwards, we will all have a new life, and we don't think about the past." Don't mention it again, okay? ”

"Okay." Although Zhu Hui had a stomach full of questions, she finally couldn't help but not ask.

After the group returned to the apartment, Lin Annan put Xiaoyi on the ground and said to Zhu Hui: "Auntie, the air and scenery of the house here are good, and the downstairs facilities are also complete, so you and Xiaoyi will live here in the future." ”

"What about my sister? Won't my sister live with us? Xiao Yi took Bai Muqing's hand and asked.

"Of course, together." Bai Muqing smiled and pinched his little nose.

Lin Anan answered: "But wait until I marry your sister home." My sister can't stay with you. ”

"And where are you going to stay?"

"Back to my house, of course."

Bai Muqing looked at Lin Annan, she really didn't have the courage to think about the rest of the matter, would she really marry him? Will you move into the Lin family's mansion?

After so many days, why did she faintly resist in her heart as long as she thought of these things? It really shouldn't be!

***

How Lin Annan treated Bai Muqing at the beginning, Zhu Hui knew very well in her heart, so she never understood why Bai Muqing still married him.

At night, she finally couldn't help but ask Bai Muqing: "Lin Anan treated you like that before, why do you still want to marry him?" ”

Bai Muqing knew that she would definitely not be able to help but ask, and said with a wry smile helplessly: "It is because of his help that we were able to escape the clutches of Xu Yarong's mother and daughter, although too many things happened during the period, but now that everything is back in place, there is nothing bad to think about." ”

"He threatened you to promise?"

"It's not a threat, it's just a quid pro quo." Bai Muqing looked at her and said, "And from the current point of view." He's not bad to me, isn't a woman just looking for a man who loves her in this life? ”

"But...... There is ...... between you and Nangong Chen. Zhu Hui hesitated and didn't dare to ask, because she was afraid of touching Bai Muqing's sore spot.

"It's already broken." Bai Muqing replied almost without hesitation.

Zhu Hui knew that she was sorry for her, and she was embarrassed to ask more, so after nodding, she turned around and went back to the house.

Nangong Chen raised his head and took a sip of the red wine in his hand, then stared at Qiao Siheng opposite and said, "The taste is not bad." ”

"Authentic '82 Lafite. It's not a matter of money, it's a rarity, and I am reluctant to invite him to drink it. Qiao Siheng smiled at him, took a sip of red wine, and then poured red wine into the glasses of the two again.

"Lafite in '82, why don't I think it's a rarity?"

"Do you drink or not?" Qiao Siheng copied his cup, Nangong Chen grabbed it, and had to smile lightly: "Okay, it is indeed good wine." ”

"By the way, why did you suddenly remember to invite me for a drink today?" Nangong Chen sank his body back and looked at him on the sofa.

Qiao Siheng was also looking at him, his eyes flashing with warm emotion: "I should ask you, why haven't you invited me to a bar for so long?" How? After you like your son, you don't want friends? ”

"No, there's been a lot going on in the company lately."

"When is there not much going on in your company?" Qiao Siheng lit a cigarette, took a puff, stared at him and asked, "By the way, is your little son's 100-day banquet a big show?" ”

Nangong Chen's face was slightly gloomy, and his heart was also tingling.

The 100-day feast .......

His little son may not even live for two months, so how can he talk about a 100-day banquet?

He pulled out a smile with difficulty and raised his eyebrows at him: "What? You can't wait to give away red envelopes? ”

"No, my little pity seems to be looking forward to it, and I really want to see your little son." Qiao Siheng stared at him, with the same light smile on his face.

"It turns out that Mrs. Qiao likes to be lively, okay, I will be the first to send you an invitation when the time comes."

"It's a good friend." Qiao Siheng picked up his wine glass: "Come on, it's done." ”

Nangong Chen picked up the cup and touched it with him, raised his head and took a sip.

After coming out of the bar, Nangong Chen got into the car.

Xiao Lin glanced at him in the rearview mirror and asked with concern, "Young Master, do I need to get you some water?" ”

"No, let's go home." Nangong Chen wasn't drunk, he just felt a little tired.

Xiao Lin started the car and drove in the direction of Nangong's house, and after passing through the downtown area, the neon lights around him dimmed. Nangong Chen looked at the flickering scenery outside the window, and suddenly felt a little irritable, and then said, "Go to the apartment." ”

"What?" Kobayashi thought he had misheard.

After all, Nangong Chen rarely goes to live in the apartment, because the old lady is not allowed and is not at ease, especially at this time, his wife and children are in the old house, he actually wants to go to the apartment?

After seeing Nangong Chen frowning from the rearview mirror, Xiao Lin realized that he had asked a question that he shouldn't have asked, and hurriedly said, "Young Master, I'll send you over." ”

Nangong Chen understood why Xiao Lin was surprised, but in fact, he himself didn't understand why he suddenly wanted to go to the apartment for a night.

Probably because I don't want to go back to the old house to face the poor child, or maybe I don't want to face Bai Ying'an, who is different from usual.

Bai Ying'an turned on the lights when he was sick last night, and although every detail of the incident of being frightened and fainting made sense, he didn't have any suspicion that she meant to blame her, but he still faintly felt that something was wrong, and felt that she was different from before.

Not only when he was ill, but also many other things seemed to be okay on the surface, but he always felt a little strange in his heart.

Maybe it's not her problem, it's his.

So he felt that it was necessary for him to find a place to calm down and calm down his abnormal mood.

Nangong Chen pushed open the door of the apartment, and the darkness of the room came to his face, he frowned, he actually didn't like this kind of day when no one was waiting at home.

Raise your hand to turn on the light button, and the bright light in the room poured out, and finally felt more comfortable.

The last time I came here was when the child was discharged from the hospital, and it had been more than a month since then, and he stepped in. There was also a small handkerchief used by the baby on the back of the sofa, and when I saw it, my heart immediately hurt uncontrollably.

He casually removed the handkerchief from the back of the sofa and placed it under the inconspicuous table.

*****

Although Xiaoyi's condition seemed to be much better, Bai Muqing was still not at ease and decided to take him to the hospital for a physical examination the next day.

While eating breakfast, Bai Muqing refilled a glass of milk for Xiao Yi, and Xiao Yi immediately pouted in protest: "Sister, I have already drunk a cup just now." ”

"You're too thin, drink more milk to gain weight, good, sister will buy you chicken legs at night."

"Really?" Xiaoyi is delighted.

"Of course it's true." Bai Muqing raised her hand and touched the top of his head: "Eat quickly, go out after eating." ”

"That's right, Xiaoyi, my brother-in-law has been waiting downstairs for a long time." Zhu Hui dotingly wiped the corners of Xiaoyi's mouth with a tissue.

"Oh." Xiaoyi obediently picked up the milk and drank it, then put down the cup and ran to the door: "Let's go!" Let's go out! ”

"Xiaoyi, don't run so fast." Zhu Hui hurriedly chased out.

Bai Muqing picked up her bag from the living room and followed her out quickly, she casually pulled the door panel and walked in the direction of the elevator while sorting out her bag, and then accidentally bumped into someone.

"I'm sorry......." Instinctively, she bowed to the man, then looked up.

When she saw that Nangong Chen, who was bumped into by herself, was actually from the next room, she was instinctively stunned for a moment, and glared at him in surprise.

As soon as Nangong Chen went out, he was bumped by someone, and it was ...... who hit him.

He was also looking at her, with her neat short hair, exaggerated earrings, revealing skirts, and delicate heavy makeup...... It is Bai Ying'an's always image. He hadn't seen her in a long time, and he didn't expect to see her here.

From the day she moved here, Bai Muqing had imagined whether she would meet Nangong Chen here one day, and what if she did. And today she was mentally prepared in advance, so after a short surprise when she met him, she quickly eased up.

"Brother-in-law, why are you here?" She smiled with a look of surprise, and there was a deep infatuation in her eyes, she remembered that every time Bai Ying'an saw Nangong Chen, she would show him a look of infatuation.

In order to play the role of Bai Ying'an, she didn't put in a lot of effort, and as long as she went out every day, she would turn herself into a call girl and wear revealing clothes that were not suitable for her.

"I live here occasionally." Nangong Chen has never had a good impression of Bai Ying'an, and his attitude towards her is also light.

Bai Muqing originally wanted to return home to avoid taking the elevator downstairs with him, after all, less contact would be less dangerous than goofs, but Xiaoyi shouted at the elevator door: "Sister, hurry up, the elevator is coming!" ”

She had no choice but to walk in the direction of the elevator.

There are four people in an elevator, and Zhu Hui doesn't know Nangong Chen, so she doesn't have any surprised expression.

Bai Ying'an pulled Xiaoyi to stand diagonally opposite Nangong Chen, and wondered whether to talk to Nangong Chen, with Bai Ying'an's character, he would definitely do his best to deliberately talk to him.

But what should she say if she picks up someone? After struggling for a moment, she replied with a smile: "Brother-in-law, how is my sister okay now?" ”

Nangong Chen's indifferent gaze swept over, and landed on her and smiled mockingly: "Do you still care about her?" ”

"Of course I care about her, she's my sister."

Zhu Hui was finally surprised, glanced back and forth at the two, and was about to ask Bai Muqing who Nangong Chen was, when the elevator door opened with a 'ding'.

Xiaoyi took the lead and rushed out of the elevator and ran to Lin Annan outside the elevator room, laughing and saying as he ran: "Brother-in-law, my sister said that she would buy me chicken legs to eat at night, do you want to come and eat with us?" ”

"Okay." Lin Annan smiled and caught his little body.

When he looked up, he found that Bai Muqing and Nangong Chen had walked out of the elevator room almost at the same time, and a flash of surprise quickly flashed on his face. In this place, seeing Nangong Chen in this situation, he suddenly had some confusion about the situation.

Bai Muqing knew that Lin Annan would definitely be confused, so she hurriedly went up and hugged his arm and said with a smile: "Annan, what a coincidence, my brother-in-law also lives here, and he is on the same floor as us." ”

Lin Annan finally understood, it turned out to be just a coincidence, not a .......

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately it wasn't because Nangong Chen found something and came here.

"Cousin, what a coincidence." He immediately smiled at Nangong Chen and greeted politely.

Nangong Chen looked at the two of them hugging each other affectionately, and a light smile bloomed on his lips: "Lin Shao, is this the rhythm of returning home?" ”

Lin Annan's face changed, and he deliberately showed an uncomfortable expression and said, "My mother hopes that I will get married as soon as possible and receive the Lin family heirloom, otherwise I won't be in such a hurry." ”

"It's long overdue." The smile on the corner of Nangong Chen's lips was instantly dyed with a hint of mockery, and he walked in the direction of the car with his steps.

Lin Annan looked at his departing back, and a touch of pride slipped through his heart, which was a sense of smoothness that he had never felt before.

If Nangong Chen knew that the woman in his arms was the woman he had braved the rain to find the entire Yancheng and went to the police station, he would definitely be crazy, right?

*****

After getting into the car, Zhu Hui looked at Bai Muqing, who was silent on the side, and asked hesitantly, "Is he Nangong Chen?" ”

Seeing Bai Muqing nodding, she then asked, "Then why does he live here?" Is that really good? ”

Bai Muqing was also thinking about this question, whether this would be too dangerous, and whether it would bring trouble to herself. She took a faint breath and said, "He doesn't usually live here. ”

After a pause, she continued: "But I think it's better for us to move out, just in case, what do you think, Lin Shao?" ”

Lin Anan smiled indifferently: "Didn't you say that he doesn't usually live here?" Then don't worry about him, the environment and air here are more suitable for carelessness and recuperation, not to mention ....... ”

He turned his head and stared at her: "We're going to get married soon, and you won't live here when we get married." ”

"And ......." He paused and smiled at her: "Don't call me Lin Shao, it's better to call me Annan like you did just now." ”

Bai Muqing lowered her head uncomfortably, just now she was calling Nangong Chen, but now that Nangong Chen is gone, she really can't scream.

In fact, she used to call it that, but it was too long, and so many things happened in between.

"Which doctor shall we go to?" Lin Annan asked skillfully as he controlled the car.

"Let's go to the stars." Bai Muqing didn't want to think about it.

"Why go to the stars? Because it's Su Xi's family? ”

"Uh-huh......." Bai Muqing answered softly and indiscriminately, in fact, she just wanted to go there to find the mysterious man who took her child, but she couldn't tell Lin Annan.

She didn't tell anyone about this matter, and she didn't dare to tell it, for fear that leaking the news would cause unnecessary trouble. After all, the strength of the Nangong family is there, if he knows that his child has been transferred, it will definitely set off a storm.

Although there is little hope, it has become a habit to go to Stellar Hospital and various welfare homes every day to look for children. As long as the child is not found for a day, she will not give up.

*****

Nangong Chen didn't return overnight, Bai Ying'an couldn't help but be a little flustered, after all, this was the first time he didn't return at night after she entered Nangong's house.

What was the reason why he didn't return overnight, could it be that there was another woman outside? As soon as she thought of this possibility, she couldn't help but be jealous.

Mother is right, if she is afraid of him and alienates him, there are women outside who are not afraid and want to squeeze around him as much as they can. Could it really be that his reaction that night pushed him directly into the arms of another woman? But she was really scared!

After pacing back and forth in the bedroom, she finally mustered up the courage to dial Nangong Chen's phone.

The phone rang for a long time and was finally connected, and Nangong Chen's gentle voice came: "What's wrong?" Ying'an. ”

Bai Ying'an was nervous, and opened his mouth to stammer: "Uh....... Master, am I disturbing your work? ”

"No, it's a lunch break." There was the sound of papers flipping on the other end of the phone, and it was clear that he was still working even during his lunch break.

"Oh, actually, it's nothing, it's just that you didn't come back last night, and I'm worried about you."

"Huh? Didn't I text you, it was too late to stay in the apartment last night. ”

"Ah, I didn't get it." In fact, she received it, but he didn't tell her a clear reason, so she still thought about it.

It seemed that he didn't have any intention of explaining it to her in detail, so she had to say with a sense of humor: "Young Master, it's okay if you're fine, then I'll hang up first." ”

"Is the baby okay?" Nangong Chen asked. Assess the liver talent.

"He." Bai Yingan turned his head and glanced at the little baby on the small bed and said, "He is still the same, he doesn't eat much, and he looks very hard." ”

In fact, the baby is no different from yesterday, she just hopes that Nangong Chen will go home early tonight, Nangong Chen on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, and then spit out a sentence in his heart: "I know, goodbye." ”

After hanging up the phone, Bai Ying'an heard a knock on the door, and she hesitated for a moment before answering: "Come in." ”

Pushing the door and walking in was really Park Lianyao, she guessed it.

Park Lianyao is on vacation today and has been staying at Nangong's house to accompany the old lady. Bai Ying'an really couldn't figure out why she didn't go back when she had a home, and she was going here all day long, was there a conspiracy?

Park Lianyao walked to the side of the crib with a smile, looked down at the baby and said, "The old lady just had a nightmare when she took a nap, saying that the dream was not good for the child, so I had to come up and take a look." ”

She raised her head, looked at Bai Ying'an and said, "Is the child okay?" ”

"It's still the same."

"Have you just been milked?"

"I've eaten it." Bai Ying'an pulled the corners of her lips and smiled at her: "By the way, Lianyao, I have a gift for you." ”

"Send me?" Park Lianyao turned around and walked over, looking surprised.

"Yes, my mom came back from a trip to Turkey the other day and brought me several ruby necklaces." She walked to the bedside table, took out three jewelry boxes from it, opened them one by one and put them in front of her, and said, "Bring me a total of three, one for you and Shen Xin." ”

Ruby stains look very expensive, and anyone with a little knowledge can see that it is worth a lot. This was indeed brought to her by Xu Yarong, but she didn't bring it back from Turkey in person, but went to the mall to buy it, in order to let Bai Yingan take some Pu Lianyao and Shen Xin.

Before this, Xu Yarong had thoroughly investigated the character of Park Lianyao and found that although she was born in a well-off family, she was not wealthy, and this kind of thing should be tempting to her.

Sure enough, as soon as she got the gem, her eyes lit up with appreciation as she looked at it.

Bai Ying'an secretly rejoiced in her heart, people who are greedy for money are generally easy to deal with, but she is afraid that she is not greedy for anything.

"This chain must be expensive, right?" Park Lianyao glanced at her and asked.

"It doesn't matter if it's expensive or not, the main meaning is extraordinary, it's the origin of the land." Bai Ying'an said.

Park Lianyao nodded, then put the necklace back in the box, and pushed the box back in front of her: "I really appreciate your kindness, but the gift is too expensive for me to accept." ”

Seeing her push the gift back, Bai Ying'an's feeling of secret joy just now sank, and she hurriedly said: "It's okay, I can't wear that much anyway, if you think it looks good, take it." ”

"I really don't need to, I can't usually wear such expensive gifts at work, and I don't have the habit of carrying jewelry on weekdays, so you should keep it for yourself." Park Lianyao smiled: "Actually, gifts don't need to be expensive, do you remember the little gift you bought for me when you went to Yancheng?" I just like it. ”

"Sour plum cakes and small ornaments, right? I was a little embarrassed to give it away. Bai Ying scratched his scalp with an embarrassed expression.

Park Lianyao looked at her steadily, and the smile on her face deepened: "Yes, I didn't expect you to remember it after so long." ”

"Of course I do, but it's not a long time coming."

Pu Lianyao nodded, got up from the bed, looked at the little baby on the crib and said, "Cousin-in-law, I'll go out first, you can rest well." ”

After Park Lianyao left, Bai Ying'an threw the two strings of gemstone necklaces in the corner of the bed, I really haven't seen such a bad person.

But think about it, she is Shen Ke's fiancée, Shen Ke is also a person who wants something in the Nangong family, how difficult is it to want a gemstone necklace?

Nangong Chen did come back early today, and he was still at home for dinner.

After dinner, Bai Ying'an just wanted to ask him if he could accompany her to watch a movie at night, but Nangong Chen spoke first: "I'm just coming back to see you and the little baby, and I'll go out later." ”

"You're going out?" Bai Ying'an glanced at the time on the wall, half past six.

"Yes, there's a drinking party, I'm afraid you'll all sleep when you come back."

"Don't you need to bring a female companion to the party?" Bai Ying'an smiled and said, "I haven't gone out for a long time." ”

"No female companions tonight." Nangong Chen thought for a while, took her hand and said, "But if you feel bored, I'll take you out for a walk around tomorrow." ”

"Really." Bai Ying'an was delighted.

Although she is still very afraid of his illness, she is still very attracted to her when she is not sick, and she is of course happy if she can go out with him. Moreover, now is the critical period for cultivating the feelings of teaching, and she must grasp it well.

******

Xiao Yi sat at the dining table, supported his chin with both hands, looked at the black chicken leg on the table speechlessly, swallowed saliva and wailed: "Sister, can you do it?" I waited from eight to nine. ”

"Don't worry, you can get out of the oven in two minutes, and it won't burn again this time." Bai Muqing said soothingly.

She wasn't very good at cooking in the first place, so she asked Xiaoyi if she wanted to eat the stewed chicken thighs or the sauce, but this guy had to say that she wanted to eat the grilled. Faced with this completely unfamiliar oven, she really didn't know what to do.

After failing to bake twice in a row, she started a third one.

Two minutes later, Bai Muqing looked at the chicken legs that had failed even more, touched her nose a little embarrassedly and said, "I'm sorry, my sister will buy a few more tomorrow, and by the way, I'll buy a barbecue recipe and come back to roast it for you again." ”

Xiaoyi's small mouth, which was already high, turned up even higher, and tears of grievance were rolling in his eyes.

Zhu Hui saw her son's aggrieved appearance, and said in a somewhat disgusted tone: "I said let you take him out to eat, you have to say that the outside is not clean, you have to bake it yourself, and people are careless that they didn't even eat dinner in order to wait for you, and the result was ........" ”

Zhu Hui shook her head and coaxed Xiaoyi: "Xiaoyi, will your mother take you out to eat tomorrow?" ”

"People are going to eat it now." Xiaoyi shook his head unhappily, from last night to today's chicken legs, but when he waited for these few pieces of black charcoal, of course the little guy was not happy in his heart.

Bai Muqing thought about it and looked at the time again: "Okay then, I'll take you out to eat." ”

"Yay! That's great! As soon as Xiao Yi heard that he could go out to eat chicken legs, he immediately jumped off the table and chair happily.

Bai Muqing listened to Zhu Hui nagging outside the door while putting on makeup for herself: "It's so late and you still go out, you must take your brother with you, don't lose your brother, you know?" And don't eat so much, the heat ....... ”

"Mom, I see." Bai Muqing picked up the bag on the table and went out with a small mind.

In a nearby Western-style snack bar, Bai Muqing ate a meal of hard legs with a small smile, and bought him several boxes of snacks and bread slices for breakfast.

When she went back, Bai Muqing smelled a pungent smell of wine as soon as she stepped into the elevator room, she didn't pay much attention to it, and pressed the up button on the stairs.

"Sister, it's my uncle who lives on the same floor as us." Xiaoyi's voice suddenly sounded beside him.

An uncle on the same floor? Bai Muqing turned around with his gaze in surprise, and sure enough, he saw Nangong Chen holding on to the wall with one hand and the sofa next to him with the other to support his shaky body, obviously just throwing up.

She froze for a moment, and instinctively turned her back to him.

...

...
