Chapter Twenty-Nine: Fear
As long as this child is involved, Lin Runing's reaction will be particularly excited.
According to Xiao Liyan's understanding of her, the relationship between the two of them is definitely more than that, but since Lin Runing covered it up in every possible way, he couldn't say it directly.
When Lin Runing walked out of the villa with Lin Nian, the clothes on his back were soaked with cold sweat. Xiao Liyan is extremely smart, as long as even the slightest flaw is revealed, then the disguise she has worked so hard for so long will be in vain, and he can investigate everything he wants to know, including Lin Nian's life experience.
She called a taxi and leaned back in her chair in a daze.
Lin Nian looked at her like this and was a little worried, and gently pulled her cuffs a few times, "Mom, I'm sorry, Nian Nian knows that she is wrong, and she shouldn't have run out of the kindergarten." ”
Lin Runing didn't speak, as if she was a doll with her soul drained.
"Mom." Lin Nian put a small finger on her eyes, "If you are sleepy, you can sleep like this for a while, as long as you don't get angry with Niannian, you can do anything." ”
Hearing this, Lin Runing turned around and hugged him tightly in his arms, choking up slightly, "Mom is not angry, she is afraid, afraid that you will be snatched away by others." ”
"I'm Mommy's baby." Lin Nian patted her on the shoulder, "It won't be snatched away." ”
Lin Runing wrinkled her eyebrows and let out a long sigh, "I hope so." ”
Soon arrived at Xia Yu's house, the room was empty, and she hadn't come back from work yet.
Lin Nian sat on the stall in the past, looking up and peeking at her quietly from time to time, "Mom, do you want to send Nian Nian back abroad again?" Because I didn't listen to you. ”
"Nope." Lin Runing shook her head, she couldn't lose Lin Nian now, no matter which method she used, "Mom won't send you away again, but you have to promise me one thing." ”
Lin Nian blinked his big round eyes, "Stay away from that uncle just now?" ”
Lin Runing rubbed his little head tiredly, "You asked your mother why before, and now I'll tell you, because he is a bad person, he often makes his mother sad and scared, if you get too close to him, he will snatch you away from your mother forever, you know?" ”
After saying this, Lin Nian sat there stunned for a long time before he hesitated, "But... I don't feel like this uncle is a bad guy, and I'm happy when I'm with him. ”
"Bad guys don't show it." Lin Runing was slightly touched, "Be obedient, obedient." ”
Lin Nian has been more sensible than other children since she was a child, and once asked her when she was abroad: "Why is it that I am the only one among the children and has no father, is it because Niannian is disobedient, so my father doesn't like me?" ”
At that time, Lin Runing was distressed, and the explanation given was, "Because my mother made a mistake at the beginning, that's why I made Niannian so sad, and my mother is sorry for you." ”
She didn't want to lie, if Lin Nian believed the lie, the expectation would never disappear.
After listening to her words, Lin Nian just hugged her silently and never asked similar questions again.
It was only now that Lin Runing felt his desire for family affection again. Lin Nian looked very lost, nestled in her arms and nodded, "Nian Nian remembers." ”
Lin Runing lowered his head and kissed him a few times on the cheek, "Baby, mom loves you." ”
"I love you too, Mom." Lin Nian's voice was immature and firm, with a sense of maturity that should not appear in a child at all.
When Lin Runing received the news in the afternoon, she was filming in the crew, and when she heard the names Xiao Liyan and Lin Nian juxtaposed together, she was so frightened that her heart was about to jump out, and she didn't even change her costume, so she took a taxi and ran back to the villa.
The crew must have finished work a long time ago, and when Xia Yu came back, she went directly to the hospital.
Guan Ying's body has recovered very well during this time, although his arms are not yet thorough, but he can already control them at will, but there is still a thick gauze wrapped around his chest, and the doctor specially instructed him not to be violently impacted, otherwise the steel pieces in the ribs will break.
These words, Lin Runing just listened to them.
Guan Ying didn't care too much, his face was always smiling, "It's just a small injury, don't worry." ”
"Since it's a minor injury, I think I'll be able to be discharged from the hospital soon, right?" Lin Runing raised her eyebrows and leaned a little closer, "Do you need me to help you report your safety on Weibo?" ”
After saying this, Guan Ying immediately sat up, "Forget it, I don't want to be on the hot search anymore." ”
Lin Runing handed the cut apple to his mouth, "Now I only have two separate scenes left, I have discussed with the director, I will return to the crew when you are discharged from the hospital, and I will arrange my time freely during this period." ”
"Pretty good." Guan Ying's gaze always fell on her, "It seems that you still have to thank me for giving you a small long vacation, but your agent shouldn't let you rest." ”
As soon as Lin Runing wanted to answer, he heard two knocks on the door of the ward.
She and Guan Ying looked at each other, and were stunned for a while the moment they ran over and opened the door, "Why are you here?" ”
After asking this sentence, Lin Runing suddenly looked up at Xiao Liyan, her delicate eyebrows furrowed.
Xiao Liyan understood her thoughts, leaned sideways against the door, and didn't mean to go in, "You want to go back to the old mansion with me at night, just guessed that you were here, don't think about it." ”
It turned out not to be tracking.
Lin Runing breathed a sigh of relief, and subconsciously turned her head to look at Guan Ying, "Is there anything wrong with going back?" ”
"The old man's orders." Xiao Liyan pulled her into the corridor, and then raised her feet and entered the ward, "Wait for me here." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he locked the door of the ward.
Lin Runing didn't know what he wanted to do, so he could only anxiously look at the scene inside through the window, for fear that Xiao Liyan would be unfavorable to Guan Ying, and his temper really had this possibility.
Guan Ying sat there and made a mischievous face at her.
This action fell in Xiao Liyan's eyes, it was a clear provocation, "I am very grateful for saving her, but it is still the same sentence, since it is a friend, it can only be a friend." ”
"What Mr. Xiao said doesn't seem to be right." Guan Ying retracted his gaze and looked at him gently, "I don't need you to thank you for saving her, friends may also be able to develop other relationships, who can know what will happen in the future?" ”
Xiao Liyan's slender fingers tapped on the edge of the bed, with a sense of oppression, "She is my wife, you saved her, and it is natural for me to thank you." ”
When he said this, he paused for a while, and then continued to speak, "Sometimes you will pay a price for coveting things that don't belong to you, Guan Win, I hope you don't have to gain an inch." ”
These words are directly a clear threat, Guan Ying's face is a little ugly, "What Mr. Xiao said is that I will keep it in mind." ”
It doesn't matter to him, it's just that the Guan family behind him will suffer, and no one will be stupid enough to do such a thing that outweighs the losses.
Xiao Liyan sneered, stood up and looked at him condescendingly, "It seems that you are also a smart person, so stay away from her from now on." ”
With that, he turned and left.
Looking at his back, Guan Ying took a deep breath, "Mr. Xiao, people are self-aware, if she doesn't like you, what's the use of staying by her side?" ”
Xiao Liyan's footsteps paused for a moment, and then coldly dropped the sentence, "It doesn't matter whether you have self-knowledge or not, it's only self-righteousness that is extremely stupid." ”
When he pushed the door out, Lin Runing hurriedly greeted him, and just as he wanted to speak, he was hugged by Xiao Liyan in his arms, and before she could react, he clasped his chin and kissed her without hesitation.
In this position, Guan Ying can see it clearly.
Lin Runing felt the softness on her lips, and reflexively pushed his chest, but instead Xiao Liyan held her arm, turned around and imprisoned her between the wall and her chest, there was no way to avoid it, and she could only passively bear this domineering kiss.
Her legs and feet were a little weak, and she leaned weakly into Xiao Liyan's arms. Xiao Liyan let her go, leaned over and hugged her directly.
Guan Ying looked at his chic back, the corners of his mouth skipped a smile, and his figure looked extremely lonely in the dim light, like an abandoned child.
Lin Runing sat in the car, looking sideways at the regressing scenery outside, and felt a little resistant in his heart.
She knew very well the meaning of the kiss just now, and she also knew Xiao Liyan's thoughts.
Using this method to swear sovereignty made Lin Runing feel as if she was a lifeless toy.
The old mansion is far away from them, even if it is by plane, it takes more than two hours, in order to avoid unnecessary embarrassment, Lin Runing almost started to sleep as soon as she boarded the plane, and when she opened her eyes, she had already landed, during which she and Xiao Liyan did not say a word.
In a silent and frozen atmosphere, they stood at the door of the old mansion.
Xiao Liyan lowered his eyes and looked at her, and stretched out his arms. Lin Runing cooperated very cooperatively, she was not a fool, the play that should be played in front of Old Man Xiao still had to be acted, after all, she had a contract with Xiao Liyan first.
When he entered, Old Man Xiao was drinking tea in the living room, leaning there very leisurely. Xiao Liyan took her over and bowed his head slightly, "Grandpa." ”
"Do you still have my grandfather in your eyes?" Old Man Xiao snorted coldly and slammed the teacup on the table, making an incomparably crisp sound.
Xiao Liyan looked at her and didn't speak.
Seeing that the two of them were silent, Old Man Xiao got up and walked in front of Xiao Liyan, "You are the young master of the Xiao family, the chairman of the Xiao Group, look at what the outside is saying about you now, and the scandal with a woman who is not in the stream, do you think it is very glorious?" ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Lin Runing by the way. Lin Runing knew that the old man was also warning her in disguise, and the rumors between her and Guan Ying during this time were no better than Xiao Liyan.
Thinking of this, she hurriedly raised a smile, "Grandpa, those things are all nonsense from unscrupulous reporters, the relationship between the two of us is very good, and Li Yan and her are just ordinary friends." ”
"Ordinary friends?" Old Man Xiao looked angry, "Don't speak for him, if you continue to develop, I think your status as Mrs. Xiao will be lost sooner or later!" ”
Lin Runing pursed her lips and quietly gave Xiao Liyan a look.
