I thought I wouldn't be able to go out tonight, but according to An Xueli's temperament, the more important the day, the more he would be trapped at home.

He is getting fed up with An Xueli's threats, sometimes he really wants to give up and let her toss, as long as he is no longer suppressed by her, it will be fine, but all the consequences also make him feel bottomless.

He knew that the price of being able to see Wen Yan and Xiao Tuanzi tonight was more than that, and An Xueli must have something waiting for him, but he didn't want to scruple about anything now, he just wanted to see the person he was thinking about.

Drove to the community, it was more than nine o'clock in the evening.

He forgot to bring a spare key, and went to the door to dig in his pocket to find it.

Helplessly raised his hand and knocked on the door, his slightly trembling hand showed the excitement in his heart at the moment, since the company was on holiday, he had not met Wen Yan, every time he wanted to go out, An Xueli would follow him, threatening with old excuses at every turn, always making him resentful and helpless.

Hearing the knock on the door this time, the hope in Wen Yan's heart was ignited again, but she didn't open the door, for fear of being disappointed again, so it was Liu's mother who went to open the door.

She even forced herself not to look at the door until Xiao Tuanzi struggled in her arms and called 'Daddy'.

She turned her head to look at Mu Tingchen, who came closer, and the tip of her nose was a little sour: "You...... Have you eaten? I made dumplings with Liu's mother, and I didn't look good...... It should taste good, you're late, we've already eaten it. Want to try it? I'll cook it for you. ”

The seemingly bland opening remarks are mixed with thousands of emotions.

Mu Tingchen nodded: "Okay." ”

Wen Yan put the little dumpling on the sofa on the side, got up and went to the kitchen, she knew Mu Tingchen's taste somewhat, and added seasonings according to his usual habits, just the soup smelled fragrant.

Xiao Tuanzi opened the conversation box and talked to Mu Tingchen vigorously, his vocabulary was not very much, and his tongue couldn't turn when he spoke, and he couldn't understand the long list of words. Mu Tingchen pretended to understand every time, and Xiao Tuanzi spoke more energetically.

The dumplings came out of the pot, and Wen Yansheng brought them to the table: "It's cooked, come and eat." ”

The small group joined in the fun, and after eating it again, it was about to be eaten: "Mom, I want it too!" ”

Wen Yan was helpless, and gave Xiao Tuanzi a few from Mu Tingchen's bowl, and suddenly thought of Xiao Tuanzi's action of leaving dumplings for him when he ate, she smiled and said to him, but he was silent.

She looked at him puzzled: "What's wrong?" ”

His thin lips opened lightly: "I'm sorry." ”

Wen Yan suddenly felt so sad: "Why do you want to say I'm sorry?" What I fear most is these three words, these three words are nothing but apology. Or is it ...... Ann Shirley is already arranging for you to get along with other women? You don't say you're sorry to me because of that, are you? It's okay, we're divorced anyway, and if you want to remarry, I don't care. ”

He looked up at her: "What nonsense? If she dares to arrange it, I won't go. What I mean by I'm sorry is ...... I didn't come to accompany you sooner, and...... I'll have to go back later. ”

Wen Yan breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, then you can leave later, wait for Xiao Tuanzi to fall asleep before leaving, I'm afraid he will cry." ”

What she is most afraid of now is that, as An Xueli said, Mu Tingchen will fall in love with other women, and with An Xueli beside her, she is really unsure of her persistent lobbying.

Maybe it was because he knew that Mu Tingchen would leave, Xiao Tuanzi slept at ten o'clock in the past, but today he refused to sleep until more than eleven o'clock, obviously he was yawning, so he had to pester Mu Tingchen to hug him.

Mother Liu didn't want to disturb Wen Yan and Mu Tingchen to get along, so she went to bed early, Wen Yan accompanied Mu Tingchen to watch TV shows, of course the two of them were not on TV, they obviously had a lot to say, and they didn't know how to speak.

When it was almost twelve o'clock, Mu Tingchen's mobile phone rang, and he didn't need to look to know that only An Xueli would call him at this time.

The ringing of the mobile phone is like a curse at the moment.

Wen Yan opened his mouth and said: "It's okay, you go, she must be urging you, I don't want to be scolded by her for the New Year." ”

The sleepy little tuanzi immediately woke up, tugged at Mu Tingchen's shirt and asked nervously, "Dad, are you leaving?" ”

Mu Tingchen forced a smile: "Yes, Dad has to go, you have to listen to Mom and go to bed early." ”

Xiao Tuanzi's mouth was deflated, and he was about to cry: "I don't want you to go, Dad, don't you want us anymore?" Why didn't you come to see us for so long? ”

Wen Yan almost couldn't hold back her tears, she usually looked at Xiao Tuanzi heartlessly, but she actually understood it in her heart. Xiao Tuanzi's words became the last straw that crushed the camel, and Mu Tingchen smashed the mobile phone that was still shouting on the floor: "Go to TM, I don't want to care about anything, I won't leave today!" ”

Wen Yan was startled, and hurriedly picked up the phone, but fortunately, the screen was just a little cracked, and it was barely usable: "What are you doing?" I know you're uncomfortable, and so am I, but do you think Ann Shirley will let you go if you don't go back? You calm down, you go back first, tomorrow I will take Xiao Tuanzi and Mother Liu back to Mu Mansion to see Uncle Lin, so that we can meet again? For the Chinese New Year, my reason is reasonable, she will not embarrass me, even if she embarrass me, I am not afraid, let her go. ”

Mu Tingchen took Wen Yan into his arms: "I really can't stand it anymore, I don't want to be patient anymore, I really want to ignore everything......"

Wen Yan patted him on the back: "It's okay...... You have to endure it, only temporarily, not like that. Can you put up with her until now, isn't it also because of guilt? You are her belief that she can survive all these years, the initial fault is not her, your adoptive mother became a sinner for you, you have the right to help your adoptive mother atone for her sins now, and when you pay it off, you don't owe anyone anything. ”

Yes, it's atonement from beginning to end.

Wen Yan stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with Xiao Tuanzi in his arms, watching Mu Tingchen's car disappear into the night. Xiao Tuanzi suddenly whispered, "Was Dad angry with me just now?" Is it because I said something I shouldn't have said? ”

Wen Yan shook his head: "No, how could Dad be angry with you?" He's angry with his aunt and grandmother. Be good, go to bed early, and tomorrow Mom will take you to see Grandpa Lin. ”

The night seems to be getting extraordinarily long.

Mu Tingchen opened the car window on the road, the cold wind quickly consumed the cigarette in his hand, and his mind recalled the pitiful appearance of Xiao Tuanzi, and his mood became heavier and heavier. How can people be so tired when they are alive? Why are you so tired?

Back at the Mu Mansion, An Xueli didn't rest in order to wait for him.

He didn't bother to pay attention to it, Gu Zi went upstairs, and as soon as he walked to the staircase, An Xueli asked sharply, "Why didn't you answer my phone?" Is it Wen Yan who won't let you pick it up?! ”
