Chapter 256: Deliberately Avoiding
"Huh! I wonder who locked himself in the house? I'm still afraid of the dark crying and shouting. After speaking, Ling Yan took a bite of the custard bun like a victorious general.
"It's you! ……”
"You don't remember ......?"
……
Xiao Zicheng was naturally chatting about the past. Dinner was tepid.
He seemed to let Ling Yan walk into the memories of his childhood, laughing or helpless for the original naivety, innocence, and cuteness.
The stars in the night sky blinked, and the past seemed to be found in a parallel world. But we'll never see each other, and we'll never go back.
Nostalgia is like an anesthetic needle. It paralyzed the pain of the moment, temporarily obscuring the haze of her emotional malaise.
This is good.
He smiled, she smiled.
In the early morning of the next day, Xi Lingyan sat quietly in the living room of Xiao Zicheng's villa, the sky was still dark, and the clock on the wall of the living room was only pointing to a quarter past five.
Xi Zhiyu and Xiao Zicheng are still asleep, no one knows, Xi Lingyan is waiting for a phone call now, and no one knows that her cheeks are already wet twice.
When the sky lit up slightly, and the time on the wall clock jumped to seven o'clock, Xi Lingyan's mobile phone really vibrate.
"Hey." Xi Lingyan suppressed his voice, trying to make his voice sound like he had just cried.
"It's Miss Xi, right?" The voice coming from the microphone on the other side was that of the previous lawyer, and his voice was still the same as when he was in the hospital before, cold and unforgiving.
"Well, it's me." Xi Lingyan knew what he would say, but she still waited as calmly as possible.
"Miss Xi, regarding the divorce procedures between you and Mr. Qin, because you both signed a contract to settle the divorce, the procedures have now been completed."
The lawyer's voice came from the microphone into Xi Lingyan's ears: "There is another question, which is about the alimony of the child between you and Mr. Qin." ”
The lawyer paused for a moment, and then asked Xi Lingyan as if confirmed: "Your children are twins, right?" ”
"Well, the smaller one is on my side." Xi Lingyan replied.
"That's right," the lawyer said into the microphone: "Mr. Qin has prepared the child support from now to the future when he becomes an adult, and the joint property of the husband and wife after the divorce has also been divided." ”
"Hmm." Xi Lingyan lowered his head and responded.
"Miss Xi, please send me your current address, Mr. Qin instructed me to mail the bank card with two pieces of money according to the address you gave." The lawyer said a long way.
"Okay, I'll send it later." After Xi Lingyan finished speaking, she hung up the phone, and after a long time, she picked up her phone again, ready to send the address of Xiao Zicheng's house.
But she suddenly thought that the lawyer had said just now that Qin Shaojing had instructed him to send the bank card, and for some reason, Xi Lingyan deleted the address of Xiao Zicheng's house edited on his mobile phone one by one, replaced it with the address of his studio, and finally sent it to the lawyer.
After the mobile phone screen showed that the message had been sent, Xi Lingyan suddenly thought, why didn't he dare to send the address of Xiao Zicheng's house, was he afraid that Qin Shaojing would misunderstand?
Forget it, he has already divorced himself, his property is clearly divided, and the child support is ready before he reaches adulthood, what do he care about?
Just as she was thinking about it, the child's cry came through.
Xi Lingyan hurriedly ran upstairs, but when she went upstairs, she saw that Xiao Zicheng had also woken up, he was sitting on the edge of the bed, and smiled awkwardly at Xi Lingyan: "I seem to have woken him up." ”
Xiao Zicheng looked at the child in the cradle again, the cry was getting louder and louder, and he really couldn't coax the child. There was a little frustration on his face.
Xi Lingyan smiled, then walked to the side of the stroller, bent down to pick up Xi Zhiyu, the child is still very young, she can easily encircle the child in her arms, she gently patted the child's back, slowly looked left and right, and read softly in her mouth: "Zhiyu is good, mother is here, don't cry, don't cry." ”
It didn't take long for Xi Zhiyu's crying to slowly stop, Xiao Zicheng silently gave Xi Lingyan a thumbs up, and she also replied to him with a smile. The child is the most excited, he knows who is close to him, who is good to him. When an unfamiliar person approaches, it is naturally easy to wake up.
After Xi Zhiyu's breathing slowly stabilized, and then gradually fell asleep, Xi Lingyan put him back in the stroller and carefully covered the quilt.
She glanced at Xiao Zicheng and motioned for him to leave here with her, so that the child could sleep quietly for a while, Xiao Zicheng understood what she meant, nodded and tiptoed out of the room with Xi Lingyan.
"Alright." Xi Lingyan cautiously closed the door, and asked Xiao Zicheng while going downstairs: "Why did you get up so early?" ”
"I got up when I heard the child cry," Xiao Zicheng explained, and then asked Xi Lingyan, "What about you?" How do you come up from downstairs? ”
"Oh, I went downstairs and took a call." Xi Lingyan yawned.
"Are you going to wash up first? Shall I do it early first? Xiao Zicheng asked her.
"I'll make breakfast today, you go wash up." Xi Lingyan smiled, Xiao Zicheng didn't say anything else, nodded and went to the bathroom.
In fact, he didn't wake up because he heard the child's cry.
When he woke up this morning, he glanced at the time, it was only a few minutes after seven o'clock, and he thought that Xi Lingyan might still be asleep now.
Suddenly, Xiao Zicheng wanted to see Xi Lingyan's sleeping face very much, so he walked lightly to the door of Xi Lingyan's room, pushed it with his hand, and found that the door was not locked.
But when he opened the door and went in, he found that there was no Xi Lingyan in the room, and his heart suddenly became nervous.
And at this time, Xiao Zicheng heard the sound of someone talking in the living room, and when he took a closer look, he found that Xi Lingyan was answering the phone in the living room.
Xiao Zicheng stayed quietly by the wall and listened to Xi Lingyan's answer, in fact, there were only a few words, but Xiao Zicheng vaguely knew that the phone call she received was mostly related to Qin Shaojing's divorce from her.
When she hung up the phone, he saw that she was still sitting on the sofa, motionless, and after a while, he suddenly wanted to go over and call her, but unfortunately, Xi Zhiyu's cry came out of the room.
Xiao Zicheng was also very worried in his heart, and hurriedly rushed to the room, only to find that the child woke up and couldn't see his mother, so he cried.
Xiao Zicheng wanted to pick up the child to comfort and comfort him, but the child was also sticky to his mother, Xiao Zicheng hugged him and was kicked a few times, which was too unruly.
At this time, Xi Lingyan hurriedly ran up from the living room, and hurriedly hugged the child again to comfort him, which did not give Xiao Zicheng a headache.
Xiao Zicheng finished washing up in the bathroom and looked at himself in the mirror, young and handsome, handsome and talented, and a very responsible man, where is he not as good as Qin Shaojing?
Qin Shaojing treated Xi Lingyan so ruthlessly, and every time he saw Xi Lingyan, his face was full of warmth, why did Xi Lingyan only have that man in his eyes?
Xiao Zicheng can't figure it out, it's just that, now that they are divorced, they have a chance, don't they?
"Whose call did you answer in the morning, did you call so early?" Xiao Zicheng sat at the dining table, looked at Xi Lingyan, who was teasing Xi Zhiyu, and asked.
"Lawyer's," Xi Lingyan replied simply and simply: "The divorce procedures and child support have been sorted out." ”
Xiao Zicheng was startled, but soon his face returned to normal.
"Zicheng, I've troubled you a lot during this time, but I'll be able to move out soon." Xi Lingyan looked at his son, and the more he looked at it, the more cute he felt, but the more he looked at it, he actually felt more and more like Qin Shaojing.
"Actually, it doesn't matter if you live here, it's not convenient for you to take care of the children alone anyway, isn't it?" Xiao Zicheng wanted to keep Xi Lingyan, he didn't want Xi Lingyan to leave, but he could only do this, trying to persuade by all means, or he had long known that it was useless persuasion.
"I'll be embarrassed to bother you all the time, besides, if you're going to get married in the future, there's no way I'm still living here, right? I'm going to have to get used to it. Xi Lingyan's relaxed tone made Xiao Zicheng feel very uncomfortable.
He almost blurted out, then I will marry you, but he also knew that if he said it, it would be taken as a joke, so he swallowed it back.
"Eat quickly, I'll take Xi Zhiyu back to the studio later." Xi Lingyan said, Xiao Zicheng couldn't say anything more.
When Xi Lingyan returned to the studio, she had already seen the envelope on her desk, a very ordinary kraft paper envelope, and when she picked it up, she knew that there was only one card in it.
I didn't expect it to be delivered so quickly.
Xi Lingyan didn't know whether to sigh at the other party's high efficiency.
Open the envelope, the amount and password were written on the slip of paper attached to the back of the bank card, Xi Lingyan smiled after seeing the amount on it, Qin Shaojing is so willing to spend money even if he divorces.
She put the card in her wallet, and starting today, she had to find a way to forget Qin Shaojing.
But no matter how hard she works day and night, no matter how hard she takes care of her children, she still unconsciously thinks of Qin Shaojing.
At work this day, Xi Lingyan looked at the large photo of Qin Shaojing printed on the newspaper and was quietly in a daze, Qin Shaojing, Qin Shaojing, what do you think?
When she rests every week, she always pushes the stroller alone and takes her youngest son around, and sometimes she deliberately goes to some places where Qin Shaojing may pass by, expecting that Qin Shaojing will also bring her eldest son to appear in front of her.
However, she had never seen it once.
Even, he couldn't even see Qin Shaojing's face, and could only learn about his recent life through the detailed reports in the newspaper.
The two of them were obviously so close, and they obviously increased the frequency of going out, but she still had no way to see Qin Shaojing.
Xi Lingyan had a feeling, she felt that Qin Shaojing was deliberately avoiding herself, feeling that he didn't want to see herself, let alone let her see the child.
Is it because of blaming yourself?
