Chapter 419: Shadows

Time seems to stand still.

Looking at the woman in front of him who looked a little haggard, Liu Changqing did not immediately respond to the other party, but glanced at the mother and daughter sitting on the side of the bed, and his eyes stayed on An Yuanyao's face.

She was a little struggling.

I don't know what Li Wanran said to their mother and daughter during the time she went to attend the parent-teacher conference with her daughter......

"Come out for a while."

With such a passage coming out of his mouth, Liu Changqing exited the bedroom door and turned around and walked outside.

And Li Wanran, who heard Liu Changqing's words, was stunned for a while, and then walked out of the door.

"Daddy, its head can stretch out!"

As soon as Li Wanran walked out of the bedroom, she saw her daughter rushing out of the bathroom shouting, running in front of her, and hugging Liu Changqing not far away.

Liu Xiazhi, who had just gotten a pet, looked particularly excited.

Holding her father in her arms, she can't wait to tell her new discoveries.

Holding his head high, he said loudly.

"I've seen it stick its head out for a long time, it's so cute!"

"Yes."

If it were normal, Liu Changqing might choose to chat a few words along the topic of his daughter, but at this moment, he obviously did not have such a good mood.

looked at Li Wanran at the door of the bedroom subconsciously.

Forcefully squeezed out a smile.

Raise your hand and touch her daughter's little head.

"Just look at it, don't touch the head of the turtle...... Do you hear that? It will bite you. ”

"Hee-hee, got it!"

Standing at the door of the bedroom, Li Wanran still maintained the action of closing the bedroom door, looking at the warm scene of the father and daughter in front of her.

She...... It seems to be a little moved.

"Natsuchi ......"

A shout came from Li Wanran's mouth.

Liu Xiazhi, who heard this shout, was just stunned in place when she was still smiling just now.

The expression converged.

Liu Xiazhi seemed to realize something, her eyes widened, and her head began to turn behind her.

When I saw the person standing at the door of the bedroom, this person I hadn't seen for a long time, but was extremely familiar......

"Daddy......"

subconsciously shouted his father.

The little hand grabbed Liu Changqing's arm, and his hands were clenched tightly.

The moment Liu Xiazhi saw Li Wanran, her expression began to change, which was an expression that rarely appeared on this girl's face.

Like ...... A scared look.

Children's memory is not bad, many parents leave them with bad memories when their children are young, they will mistakenly think that their children are very young and don't understand anything, but ...... As everyone knows, memories are difficult to erase by time.

Especially...... Painful memories.

Liu Xiazhi still remembers that day.

My mother, who I hadn't seen for a long time, appeared in front of me and said that she would take her to eat something delicious.

But......

Not only did he lose the new shoes his father bought for him in the mall, but he also brought himself to a stranger.

Let yourself ...... Call him Daddy......

Does Liu Xiazhi like Li Wanran's mother?

Like.

But, that was only once.

In the past, Liu Xiazhi, compared to her father, she liked her mother more, but all of this was shattered with the arrival of that day.

To this day, she will never forget that she was alone in her empty room that night.

Obviously his knee was injured, but he didn't care......

At that time, she just wanted to go home, to the home where she had her brother and father......

His daughter's move was taken into Liu Changqing's eyes, his eyes drooped, and after a while, he gently twitched the arm that was grabbed by his daughter.

But he clearly underestimated his daughter's fear at this time.

After trying to twitch a few times, he couldn't pull his arm out, but with his move, Liu Xiazhi grabbed it tighter.

Feeling his father's action of wanting to withdraw his arm, Liu Xiazhi hurriedly took his eyes off Li Wanran's body, and looked at his father with his eyes a little red.

"Daddy, I'm ......"

"Don't be afraid, come...... Xia Zhi, help Dad carry things. ”

Interrupting what his daughter was about to say, Liu Changqing handed the bag he was carrying in his other hand to his daughter.

There was a pause.

"You take it back to the house first, and when Dad comes back, I'll make you a big red flower."

“……”

"Good, obedient."

"Hmmm......"

After being silent for a while, Liu Xiazhi let go of the hand holding Liu Changqing's arm and took the bag handed over by his father.

Slipping with both hands.

first glanced at Li Wanran standing in front of the bedroom door, and then glanced at Liu Changqing beside him.

The head was lowered.

With a rapid pace, he left the living room as if he had escaped.

With the sound of the door of my daughter's room closing, the living room was quiet again.

Liu Changqing stood in place.

After hesitating for a while, he didn't choose to go out to talk, but turned around and walked towards the position of the sofa.

Sit on it.

Staring at the coffee table in front of you.

One second.

Two seconds......

"Who opened the door for you."

Saying such a sentence, Liu Changqing's originally somewhat lowered head was raised and looked at Li Wanran, who was still standing there.

“……”

didn't respond immediately, Li Wanran looked at Liu Changqing in front of him.

Walk in his direction.

Stand in front of him.

There is a distance of about two meters between the two.

"An Yuanyao."

"Really...... You still have my wife's phone. ”

Hearing Liu Changqing call An Yuanyao with the word wife, a trace of strangeness flashed on Li Wanran's face.

But soon there was hiding.

Clenched his hands a little.

"I ......"

"If it's your mother's case, there's no need to say anything more."

preemptively said the lines that Li Wanran failed to say, and Liu Changqing probably guessed what the other party asked him to do.

It's not hard to guess.

It's been more than a week since I last saw each other.

Except for the incident where Ye Rong was taken away, Liu Changqing couldn't imagine what the other party was doing with him.

If it's a child...... He thought that he had already made it clear to the other party the last time.

There is no room for negotiation.

Although the other party is the biological mother of her own pair of children, it is not difficult to see from the reaction of her daughter just now......

The shadow she once left on her children cannot be erased in a short period of time.

Maybe later.

But......

Not now.

looked at Li Wanran in front of him.

Her appearance at the moment doesn't quite match what she remembers.

Although he still had a cold face, for some reason, Liu Changqing couldn't see the indifference from that face......

There is only a trace of ...... A looming sorrow.

And...... Tired.

This is the path you choose...... Li Wanran.

In life, there is no turning back.

Coming back to his senses, Liu Changqing spoke.

"It's over."

Stealing incense
