Chapter 639: Reminiscing about the orphan years
"Now that you're out, let's relax, why don't we take the kids to have a barbecue together?" Li Shaotian didn't ask any more questions, and pointed to the fresh fruits, vegetables and meat that he had asked the secretary to send before.
As soon as Xin Manqing hesitated, a child pulled her hand and pleaded: "Sister, are you okay together?" It's fun. ”
Xin Manqing was entangled and had no choice, so he smiled helplessly.
Li Shaotian sat on the circle chair on the veranda, looking at the familiar furnishings of the orphanage from a distance, as if returning to the distant past through these.
"You still come here a lot, is there anyone you can't let go?" He snapped his mouth to break the silence.
Xin Manqing sat on the side with one hand on her cheek, the reason why she liked to come here was more because of the nostalgia for her youthful years, those days that were hard but carefree.
"What about you?"
Li Shaotian took out a slightly rough braided bracelet from his arms, the red silk had faded a little, and it could be seen that there were some years.
"This is made up to me by a girl who used to live here together, saying that red wards off evil spirits, wishful knots bless everything well, as long as I hold this, I won't have nightmares anymore."
There seemed to be a girl with two braids in front of her, her innocent face was a little shy, her watery eyes were sincere, and a simple bracelet became extremely precious.
"And where is she now?" Xin Manqing was aroused by the desire to listen to the story.
Li Shaotian got up and gently rubbed the bracelet: "She got married and forgot about me, I used to come here to find her after I returned to Li's house." ”
Xin Manqing frowned, another sad story.
"But it doesn't matter, she'll be mine after all." Li Shaotian looked at Xin Manqing fixedly, and his hot gaze still couldn't help but dodge.
"But that's immoral, after all, she's married, and maybe has children, and it's not good to destroy other people's families." Xin Manqing slowly dissuaded, and the stubbornness in his eyes that he did not give up until he reached his goal was shocking.
Li Shaotian smiled faintly: "Maybe she is also willing to be with me?" ”
Xin Manqing was silent, and she didn't want to express too much of other people's private affairs, after all, it had nothing to do with herself.
"You don't believe she's going to fall in love with me?" Li Shaotian was aggressive, so he took time to say: "Even if I have a child, I will treat her as my own daughter." ”
Xin Manqing was surprised, not understanding how his obsession could be so deep......
The dignified president of the Li family went to great lengths to marry a married woman and take over the daughter of someone else's family.
"It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that you're too shocking, and Mr. and Mrs. Li won't agree." Xin Manqing gave him advice based on his own cognition, after all, Li Shaotian had helped him, and he couldn't watch him ruin his reputation.
"They can't control me for a long time, and as for the shocking world, only mediocre people follow the path of the masses." Li Shaotian had a domineering look on his face, and a pair of sharp eyebrows and eyes were nailed to her body.
Xin Manqing nodded, noncommittal.
Seeing that she was not interested in continuing the topic, Li Shaotian changed his words and said, "Maybe we met in this orphanage back then." ”
Xin Manqing shook his head, how could it be, if he had seen her, he would not be impressed.
"I haven't seen it."
Li Shaotian frowned, she really didn't remember herself at all?
"I came here fifteen years ago, what about you?"
Xin Manqing got up in surprise, he was already here at that time, but how could he not have the slightest impression of him?
The orphanage is not big, and there are so many children on the left and right, it is impossible that they have not seen it.
"I came before you."
Li Shaotian looked at Xin Manqing's painstaking thoughts, his heart itched, as if there was a hairy grass stinging, and his dark eyes did not blink for a moment, locked on the delicate face that haunted his dreams.
"But I haven't seen you, are you sure it was this orphanage?"
Li Shaotian nodded, got up and walked to the corner of the wall to remove the unkempt weeds, pointed to an imperceptible green brick and said, "I can't forget the little ducks here." ”
Xin Manqing also walked over, and was startled when he saw the duck, and stood in place in a daze.
"You get zero points, I get two points, mom slaps you three times, you pout, and you become a big duck." Li Shaotian said the old nursery rhymes, and there was a huge gap between the cute words and the serious and cold face.
Xin Manqing snorted and laughed: "You also know this? ”
This was taught to her by her mother back then, her mother is a northerner, and this nursery rhyme is not spread much in the south, so other children don't know about it.
And the one on the wall was also her handiwork, but Xin Manqing didn't remember when she had drawn ducks here.
"That little girl taught me." Li Shaotian said seriously.
"I know that little girl, too? But ......" Xin Manqing quickly searched in his mind for the friends he had met before, and there didn't seem to be such a thing.
"Okay, don't think about it, let's start the barbecue, huh?" Li Shaotian saw that she was a little depressed, so he forked the topic and asked his subordinates to set up the barbecue grill, and the prepared ingredients and sauces were brought up one after another.
The children cheered, and the innocent smiling faces made people look particularly heartwarming.
"Sister, this brother is good, he often comes to see us and brings a lot of delicious food." Ling'er took Xin Manqing's hand and sat beside her.
Xin Manqing stroked the top of the child's hair dotingly: "Brother often comes? ”
"Yes, but why didn't Uncle Shuai, who is often with you this time, come?"
The corners of Xin Manqing's lips unconsciously hooked, every time Bo Jingyu heard the children call him uncle, calling his sister always pretending to have a seizure.
Shengsheng has given us a generation, do I look so old?
The words he had said before echoed in his ears, and his heart immediately felt sour, and he remembered that person again!
Xin Manqing picked up the red wine on the side and poured herself a full glass, perhaps only alcohol could relieve the pain in her heart.
"Don't drink it." Li Shaotian snatched the wine bottle and frowned at the frustrated look of the person in front of him.
Xin Manqing didn't make any money, but just cleaned the wine glass in his hand, and his clear eyes were a little confused, and he looked at Li Shaotian in a trance.
"Why can't you drink it? Don't I even have the right to drink to drown my sorrows? The slightly hoarse voice is full of sorrow, which makes people feel pity when they hear it.
Li Shaotian gently persuaded: "What's wrong with you?" Can I help you? ”
Xin Manqing leaned back in his chair and sighed: "I want to take Yihuan to Garnier Hospital for recuperation." ”
Li Shaotian was shocked and said nervously: "What happened to Yi Huan's leg?" It's already that serious? ”
Xin Manqing bit his lip and swallowed the truth back hesitantly: "I'm just not at ease." ”
Li Shaotian nodded understandingly, and tentatively held her hand on the table: "I also care about Yihuan, I will find a way to deal with Garnier's affairs." ”
