Cheng Yan encountered this situation for the first time, looking at Qiao Le, who was sleeping heavily, he really couldn't help it, so he drove to his small apartment, when he was not busy with work, he would rest here, so the place was not big, but there was everything inside.

When he arrived at the door, Cheng Yan pushed Qiao Le, "Hey, don't sleep, get up!" ”

In response to him, Qiao Le snorted, and she slept soundly, waving his outstretched hand to interrupt his outstretched hand and continue to sleep.

"You're really ......," Cheng Yan muttered, but the movements of his hands did not stop, pulling her arm around her neck, and then holding her legs and picking her up and walking inside.

Qiao Le fell into a soft chest, feeling very comfortable, subconsciously wrapped his hands around his neck, and shrunk into his arms, treating him as Mu Qing.

Qiao Le exuded a faint fragrance mixed with the aroma of wine, Cheng Yan's heart moved slightly, but he still held back, carried her to the bed inside and put her down, it seemed that he couldn't wake up for a while.

Her bag was still in the car outside, and when she went to get it, she saw that the bag had been opened, and there were things scattered all over the place, almost all the things she needed to use, could it really be a quarrel with Mu Qing?

I still guessed before, but now that I saw the contents of the bag, Cheng Yan was even more sure, shook his head helplessly and put the bag on the head of the bed, and covered her with the quilt, it seems that there is only one person on the sofa tonight.

Qiao Le drank and slept very comfortably, but she had a dream, she dreamed that she saw the child she used to be, crying and looking for her, kept calling her mother, suddenly woke up, sat up from the bed, the child ...... It was the pain of her life and the reason why she didn't want to get pregnant, because she was afraid of ......

Looking at the surroundings, this place is very strange, she is...... suddenly remembered that she met Cheng Yan halfway, and then she seemed to have drunk a lot of wine, and then she couldn't remember anything after that, but fortunately, the clothes on her body were still the same.

Probably because of the drink, she was a little thirsty, and quietly got up to get water to drink, when she passed the living room, she saw that there was still a faint light on the sofa, and when she got closer, she found that Cheng Yan was holding a computer and typing as if she was working.

Her movements were very light, but Cheng Yan still heard it, and looked up to meet her gaze.

"Are you awake?"

"You haven't slept yet?"

The two spoke at the same time, Qiao Le felt a little embarrassed, after all, this was his place, why was she embarrassed to ask him if he hadn't slept yet, "That...... I'm sorry, it's not early, I'll go first. ”

Qiao Le felt that since he woke up, it was better to go first, Cheng Yan said while typing on the computer, "Where are you going to go so late?" I have a job in my hand and can't leave, what if you go back alone, what if something happens? Also, you quarreled with Mu Qing, he didn't have a single phone call, are you sure you want to go back? ”

After walking two steps, she stopped when she heard these words, turned back to him and asked, "How do you know that I quarreled with Mu Qing?" Also, why do you think I have nowhere else to go but you? ”

She just couldn't get used to seeing Cheng Yan have all the odds in her hands, as if nothing could escape his eyes, which made people very unhappy.

Cheng Yan put down the computer, slowly took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out a light one, highlighted a smoke ring, and analyzed: "First, when I saw you, I came out of the Mu family alone, and I looked silent, but your expression and the contents of the bag betrayed you, in addition, you came out of the Mu family Mu Qing did not follow it, is it obvious?" Second, you got in the car with me and drank wine, and I asked you where you were going, but you didn't say that you and Mu Qing's home didn't say your friend's house, but you wanted to come to me. Such a simple question still needs to be thought about? ”

His expression was clearly mocking Qiao Le for being a fool.

But what he said was right, Qiao Le had nowhere to go so far, at least in the middle of the night, and she didn't want to go back to Qiao's house, Mu Qing would definitely be able to guess that she didn't want to meet him yet, and wanted to be quiet.

"I can't see it, you're pretty smart."

"How else would you be the boss of the company?"

"Anyway, I'm the owner of the gym too! Don't underestimate me, okay! "Qiao Le has an opinion.

"Okay, I don't underestimate you, and I don't know who drank so much today, if it weren't for me, I guess you wouldn't know who took you away now."

There are a lot of people picking up corpses in the bar, and when they see the girls who go alone, they will quietly take them away while they are about to drink, and they don't know it, and this kind of thing is taken for granted, and no one asks.

Qiao Le has never been to a bar, and he is not familiar with the situation on the opposite side, and it is indeed thanks to Cheng Yan.

"I didn't eat dinner, I'm a little hungry now, you can make me something to eat."

Cheng Yan still misses the food she cooked when she was at Jiang Xichen's house, it was really delicious, and now that she thinks about it, she is really a little hungry.

Owing favors, Qiao Le didn't refuse, went to the kitchen to see, there were simple ingredients in the refrigerator, you can fry two dishes and cook rice by the way, thinking about his taste, it shouldn't be much the same as Jiangxi Chen.

When you concentrate on one thing, you don't think about unhappy things and pay attention to the situation around you.

Cheng Yan put down her work, walked to the door and leaned against the door frame to look at Qiao Le, who was busy in the kitchen, she was so focused on cooking that she didn't notice that someone was looking at her at the door.

A serious woman is very beautiful, Cheng Yan's mind suddenly popped up with this sentence, he didn't think it before, but now he agrees with this sentence.

About twenty minutes or so, there was a burst of aroma of rice and stir-fry in the kitchen, and Cheng Yan smelled it really fragrant, and he was a little hungry.

"I'll help you." Cheng Yan couldn't stand it anymore, and was afraid that she would be hot, so he went in to help her bring out the food, which felt like a two-person world.

Two dishes and one soup, full of them on the table, Cheng Yan lowered his head and sniffed again, "It's so fragrant, I'm going to eat it." ”

Qiao Le sat across from him, she wasn't hungry at all, she just didn't feel sleepy.

"I want to ask you something." After he had eaten for a while, Qiao Le suddenly spoke.

"You say."

"Jiang Xichen ...... Where the hell did it go? Why does the feeling disappear like this? Since the last incident, Qiao Le has always wanted to ask him about it, but she promised him not to trouble Jiang Xichen.

Cheng Yan took a sip of soup and said, "He didn't disappear, but went to be a soldier." ”

"What? Soldiered? Why did you go to the army? "Qiao Le can't figure it out, they are brothers, in this case, there is no need to be a soldier with a family background like the Cheng family.

"This is a family matter, I can't tell you, now let me ask you, why did you and Mu Qing quarrel?" Cheng Yan took out another cigarette and slowly lit it, and the smoke between the two of them was instantly filled.

Qiao Le was silent for a moment and finally spoke, telling him everything that happened to him like telling a story, and I don't know why, in the face of Cheng Yan, she didn't have a lot of pressure, but felt very relaxed, maybe she wasn't very familiar with him, and regarded him as a stranger, anyway, he didn't know, so he just said it.

For the first time, she told someone that the nightmares she had lingering in the past were light and light on the surface, but there were all kinds of ups and downs in her heart.

"So, the reason for your quarrel is...... He wants to have a baby with you, but you took the birth control pill because of the shadow of the past? Finally, Cheng Yan summed it up.

Qiao Le nodded, "That's the case, I'm afraid ......"

"You're afraid of the stillborn from before...... I'm sorry, I'll call it that, and it's probably going to be like that now, so you don't get pregnant at all. ”

"Hmm."

Cheng Yan understood, he could understand her feelings, after all, she was pregnant at such a young age, and it was a stillborn reason, and it was normal to have a shadow in her heart, he was surprised that Mu Qing had always had a high EQ and IQ, why didn't he see this?

"Don't take it to heart, I think, Mu Qing will figure it out, if you want to go to him first, you can also go over, it depends on your thoughts."

Qiao Le smiled, she wanted to be alone and quiet, and she wouldn't go to him for the time being.

"It's just...... I live here, will it be inconvenient for you? I'll go somewhere else tomorrow. ”

"No, I don't come here much, usually it's too late or there is something to do the next day to spend the night here, usually I go back home." Cheng Yan took out the key from his pocket and put it on the table, "This is the key here, there is also a supermarket nearby, if you want to stay for a long time, you can also do it, just put the key in the cabinet at the door when you want to leave, don't tell me." ”

"Thank you." Qiao Le never thought that the person who was unhappy at the beginning would be good to her at this time, and some people really can't look at the surface.

"It's not early, you go back to your room and rest."

Cheng Yan went back to the sofa and turned on the computer to work, Qiao Le walked halfway, and went back to the kitchen to make him a cup of tea before going back.

may have said what was in his heart, Qiao Le lay back on the bed for a while and fell asleep.

After Cheng Yan listened to the lack of movement in the room, he closed the computer and lay on the sofa, looking at the cup of tea on the coffee table in a daze, about Jiang Xichen going to be a soldier, he proposed it, Jiang Xichen was unwilling to stay at home, let him out and definitely get close to Qiao Le, the best way is to send him to the army, there is no place for network and communication, after a long time, he will not think of her.

He admitted that he was also a little selfish at this point, because Jiang Xichen left, he had the opportunity to contact Qiao Le.

A faint smile appeared on Cheng Yan's face, now it seems that things are going very well, and it is not in vain that he has taken time out of work to inquire about Qiao Le's affairs recently, and suddenly thought of an important matter, and called his assistant Xiao Jiu, "Check one thing for me, and tell me as soon as possible after finding out!" ”

The old house of the Mu family that night.

After Qiao Le left, Mu Qing stayed in the room alone for a while and then came out, he really didn't feel sleepy.

Coming down from upstairs, Liao Xinyue and Rui Bao were not there, the wind was still blowing outside, and he didn't know where Qiao Le had gone or how he had go, Mu Qing finally admitted that he was angry for a while, and he was worried about the crematorium.

asked An Tong and the others, and they all said that they didn't know, where could she go on this big night?

It's impossible for Qiao Feifei to be there, there was an awkward incident just yesterday, Qiao Le won't go to her, where else can I go?

Soon Yuan Jing came back, didn't look at Mu Qing's eyes, and said, "Mr. Mu, Mrs. is ...... now"

"Where?"

"Mr. Cheng's small apartment."

Cheng Yan! He really knew how to ignore this person, and he couldn't have imagined that Cheng Yan had the idea of Qiao Le.

Mu Qing's eyes narrowed slightly, Yuan Jing was familiar with this expression, as long as he showed such a look, he must be very angry.

"Do you need a car?"

Nonsense! In the past, of course! Mu Qing walked in front and got into the car first, Yuan Jing didn't slack off for a moment and hurriedly drove to Cheng Yan's community, downstairs, only to see the house with a black light, it should have been asleep.

Mu Qing didn't get the key and called Qiao Le, but Qiao Le had a habit of muting her phone before going to bed, and today she was angry, her phone was turned off directly, and she called Cheng Yan again, which also showed that it was turned off.

As if they had discussed, the two turned off their phones.

Cheng Yan has two numbers, one is for work, and the other is a private number, contacting important people, he deliberately turned off his work number, and few people know the private mobile phone number, and he also guessed that Mu Qing would definitely find out his residence, so he just slept peacefully, he wouldn't break in, right?

Mu Qing could have broken in, but he didn't, because Qiao Le was here, they were in a state of cold war now, if he forced his way in, Qiao Le would definitely be angry.

So, this night, Yuan Jing accompanied Mu Qing to sleep in the car.

Early the next morning, Qiao Le woke up at seven o'clock, passed through the living room and saw that Cheng Yan was still sleeping, did not wake him up, quietly got up and made breakfast, when she was in the window, she looked downstairs, she was not awake when she came last night, and today she saw that the environment of the community was not bad, but she noticed that a car was parked in a place where she could not see clearly, and the license plate number of the car was ...... It's the Mu family, is Mu Qing downstairs? Or was he there all night?

There were all kinds of doubts in my heart, and when I thought of the look and attitude he spoke last night, I still resisted the urge to go downstairs.

After half an hour, Cheng Yan stretched his waist and got up, smelled the aroma of the food, and said very satisfied: "I am so happy to be able to eat breakfast early in the morning." ”

"Don't you never eat breakfast at home?"

"When you're busy at work, how can you remember?" Cheng Yan went to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face.

His words seem to be ...... to some people

"Thinking of Mu Qing?" Cheng Yan was still holding a toothbrush in his mouth, "He's downstairs, if you don't mind, you can let him go upstairs for breakfast and then go to work." ”

"How do you know he's downstairs?" Qiao Le was shocked, he hadn't seen it with his own eyes from beginning to end, how could he know?

Cheng Yan rinsed his mouth, wiped his face when he finished, and said, "It's easy to guess, he stayed downstairs all night last night." ”

"What?" Qiao Le just guessed in his heart, but he never thought that it was true......

Cheng Yan glanced at her face, worried, incredulous, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he didn't say anything, sat down and ate breakfast quietly.

Qiao Le looked at the food in front of him, he had no appetite, and he was entangled in his heart whether to call Mu Qing up, but when he thought about it, it was obvious that he didn't understand his worries and fears, and he was still angry with her, why did he take the initiative to find him?

"I'm going to work, I'll leave the key for you." Cheng Yan packed up his things, put on his coat and said to her, opened the door and went out.

The moment he went downstairs, he saw Mu Qing coming out of the car, Cheng Yan smiled slightly, "Mr. Mu is so early, come to pick me up from work?" Or were you downstairs all night? ”

The irony in his words couldn't be more obvious, Mu Qing ignored him and walked directly towards the gate, but Cheng Yan stopped him.

"Mr. Mu, this is my house, isn't it good for you to break in like this?"

"My wife is inside."

"Who can prove it?" Cheng Yan did it on purpose.

Mu Qing glared at him and said in a cold voice, "Are you impatient?" ”

Cheng Yan spread his hands, "It doesn't matter, you can watch it if you want to, as long as you can get in." ”

"Lele." Mu Qing stood at the door and knocked on the door.

Qiao Le had already seen them at the window just now, and knew that Mu Qing would definitely come to look for her, standing at the door and not planning to open the door.

"You go, I don't want to see you now."

"It's my fault, I shouldn't have murdered you, let me in, okay?" It was the first time Mu Qing spoke in such a tone, and Qiao Le admitted that she had relented a little.

"I don't want to see you right now."

"Then you can't live in his house, go to Clearwater Bay to live, okay? Ruibao misses you very much, and you can stay there and accompany him. ”

"It's my choice where I live, you don't care." How could Qiao Le not understand his thoughts, Clear Water Bay was his place, he could go whenever he wanted, he could see her at any time, and what she needed now was time, so that she could slowly forget the shadow of the past.

Cheng Yan didn't leave in a hurry, he kept watching them, he guessed that Qiao Le wouldn't let him in, and at the same time, the mobile phone in his pocket rang, it was Xiao Jiu's phone, and he found something.

Mu Qing couldn't change her mind, and he didn't want to force her, so he glanced back at Cheng Yan who was answering the phone, if this person came here every day, it would be a disaster.

"You take care of yourself." After Mu Qing finished speaking, he turned around and got into the car.

Cheng Yan just hung up the phone, saw that he was leaving, and asked, "This is leaving?" Why don't you sit at my house for a while? ”

"Then it depends on which home you go back to." Mu Qing slowly rolled up the window and left the community.

Cheng Yan estimated that he would definitely spread rumors in his house, but he was fully prepared, he was not afraid.

Back at the company, Xiao Jiu was waiting for him, "Mr. Cheng, I have eyebrows about what you want me to check, you see." ”

The information is about Qiao Le's birth in the hospital five years ago, he always felt a little strange, sure enough, as he thought, after reading it, he was hesitant to tell Qiao Le before she could accept it.

At the same time, Qiao Feifei was moving around with her mobile phone at home early in the morning, and she was also struggling, whether to make this call and tell Qiao Le that this incident had a bit of a big impact on her, what if she couldn't accept it?

After much hesitation, I dialed the phone.

Qiao Le had just cleaned up Cheng Yan's house and was about to go to the supermarket to buy something to fill his refrigerator when he saw Qiao Feifei's call.

"Fei Fei? You okay? I really didn't mean to hide it from you, you're still mad at me? As soon as she was connected, Qiao Le immediately explained that the two sisters had not communicated well for more than 20 years, and she didn't know what to do if there was a sudden conflict.

Listening to her explanations and words of concern, Qiao Feifei felt warm in her heart, how could it be as unbearable as Liu Xiufang said?

"Sister, I'm fine, and I'm not angry with you, it's just ...... I just can't accept it for a while. ”

"It's good that you're not angry."

"Well, I went to visit my mom yesterday, she ...... She told me something about you, and I wanted to tell you in person. ”

"Okay, then come here." Qiao Le reported the address, she was really curious about what Liu Xiufang told her.

After a while, Qiao Feifei came over, looked at the surrounding environment, it should be a private community, rang the doorbell, and Qiao Le came out.

"Come on in."

"This is another place for my brother-in-law?"

Qiao Le's expression stiffened slightly, and he shook his head in denial, "No, this is Cheng Yan's residence." ”

"Cheng Yan? That's not ...... You had a fight with your brother-in-law? Qiao Feifei is really smart, and she gets to the point with a simple thought.

Jo Le sighed, poured a glass of water and put it in front of her, "I was here last night, and I didn't see him when he came to me in the morning. ”

"What is the quarrel? Can you tell me about it? ”

Qiao Le told her the general thing, mentioning what he had done, so that he was still afraid.

After hearing this, Qiao Feifei held her hand, "Sister, I came to you today, and part of it is also related to what happened to you back then, you must calm down and listen to me, okay?" ”

"Okay, you can say it."

"Yesterday I went to my mom and she said...... That year, you went into the wrong room for a coming-of-age ceremony and had sex with someone else...... She did it, and at the end she told me that the child you gave birth to at that time, he ...... He was a boy, and he wasn't stillborn, and my mom lied to the doctor at the hospital when she saw the child...... It was a stillborn baby, and he was left at the back door of the hospital. Qiao Feifei said, looking at her expression, Qiao Le's face became worse and worse, until it turned pale, and the hand she was holding kept trembling, "Sister? You...... Are you okay? ”

"What you said is true?" Qiao Le's voice was also trembling, she couldn't believe what she heard, for the former, Liu Xiufang could probably guess what framed her, but it was just ...... What surprised her the most was that the child was not a stillborn, that is, the child was still alive?

"What my mother told me, it should be true, sister, what are you going to do......"

What to do? Qiao Le's mind came to mind the scene of that day in the hospital room, when her baby was born and was taken away after a quick glance, and then told her that she was not breathing...... She...... I couldn't see what the child looked like.

Her child is alive and alive! Qiao Le only had this one thought in his heart, no matter where he was, at least he was alive! She suddenly had the conviction that she must find that child!

After Qiao Feifei left, Qiao Le sat alone at home for a long time, always in a surprise and disbelief thought, how could she find her child back then?

The mobile phone on the table rang suddenly, and Cheng Yan called.

"Hello?"

"Where are you?"

"Still at home, what's the matter?"

"I have something to tell you, about you, I'll be home soon, you wait for me."

Cheng Yan appeared at home five minutes later and handed her the information he saw in the morning, "This is the information I asked someone to find, about the situation of your child back then, I made a decision to check this matter without authorization, you won't be angry, right?" ”

"No, you're telling me that my child is still alive, aren't you?" Qiao Le's blandness surprised Cheng Yan.

"How do you know?"

"Fei Fei came during the day, and she told me, my child is still alive, do you know how happy I am? No matter where the kid is, at least he's alive! It means that I didn't give birth to a stillborn baby! Cheng Yan, is there any way for you to ask where my child is now? ”

Qiao Le wanted to know, no matter where he was, even if he couldn't recognize him, it would be enough to be able to take a look from afar and see that he was living well.

Cheng Yan's expression was a little unnatural, and he hesitated for a while and said, "Actually, this kid is in Ancheng, he ...... Also by your side. ”

"My side?" Qiao Le wondered, the child beside her, isn't that ...... Looking up at Cheng Yan, his eyes were mixed with incredulity and shock, "You mean...... Rainbow? It's him? How is this possible! ”

"It's true, if you don't believe it, you can go for a paternity test, or, you can ask Mu Qing in person, and he can answer you."

Qiao Le was even more shocked, "Mu Qing? Does he know that Rainbow is my child? ”

Wait, Mu Qing knew that Ruibao was her child, she had raised her for so long, and she had been so good to her since she saw her, and she helped her in every way...... That is, the man five years ago ...... Qiao Le seemed to have thought of something.

Cheng Yan could already see from her expression that she knew the cause and effect, nodded and confirmed her thoughts.

"How can this be ......" It turned out that the so-called being good to her, all kinds of letting her spoil her have a purpose, Qiao Le felt that he had been deceived.

Night.

Qiao Le called the old mansion and knew that Rui Bao was over there, and took a taxi over, Mu Qing hadn't come back yet, Rui Bao was reciting Tang poems with Liao Xinyue in the living room, and when he saw her coming back, he ran over.

"Sister, I thought you wouldn't be back."

Seeing him, it was different from the previous mood, this was her own son, rubbed his hair, and kissed him on the forehead and face.

"Why, I miss Rui Bao so much, let me take a good look at you." Qiao Le's eyes were filled with tears, and he looked at him carefully, he was really like Mu Qingchang, and he was as smart as him.

Today's Qiao Le is completely different from usual, Rui Bao can feel it, and he feels more like a mother.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm fine, I just want to see you." Qiao Le took advantage of his inattention and put the few hairs he had just taken down into his pocket.

"Qiao Le, what happened to you and Mu Qing yesterday? Was there a quarrel? Liao Xinyue asked with concern.

"No, I'm playing with a child's temper, aren't I coming back!"

Mu Qing learned that Qiao Le had gone home, and he also came back as soon as possible, regardless of the presence of others, and held her in his arms, "Lele, I won't force you, don't be angry, okay?" ”

"Okay." Qiao Le looked at his affectionate face, thinking that he knew all the truth, but he didn't say a word to her, and he hid it so well, which really made her love and hate.

When the family reunion is so beautiful and happy, taking care of the kitchen to cook a few more dishes, and bringing a bottle of red wine, Qiao Le always has a faint smile, and he can't see that he is angry at all, and he keeps giving Ruibao dishes when eating, and no one thinks that she is wrong.

"Mom, you usually work too hard, and you have to be busy at home, and you have to take care of Ruibao and eat more."

"Dad, you can eat more."

"Ruibao, you are tall now, you can't be a picky eater."

"Mu Qing, you ......" Qiao Le said to him, not knowing how to continue, Mu Qing picked up her words and said: "You are really hard, make up for it, I will never force you to do anything in the future, okay?" ”

He still didn't plan to tell her, why? Is he going to keep it a secret for the rest of his life?

After dinner, when he returned to the room, Mu Qing went to the bathroom to take a bath first, Qiao Le sat on the edge of the bed, put things in his bag and put them away, and after a while, Mu Qing came out, and Qiao Le went in to take a bath without saying anything.

Qiao Le took the initiative unexpectedly in the evening, Mu Qing originally wanted to chat with her, and asked her why she came back suddenly, if she figured it out and wasn't angry, but she was angered by Qiao Le's jerky skills, and she didn't think about anything else.

After a few tosses, Qiao Le and he were tired without saying a word, Mu Qing's face was smiling contentedly, Qiao Le opened his eyes and looked at him sideways, his fingers gently stroked his face, from the forehead to the tip of the nose, and then to the chin, every place was not missed, and the outline was carefully delineated, her movements were very gentle, Mu Qing felt itchy on her face, and grabbed her hand to prevent her from moving.

"Be obedient and sleep well." Mu Qing turned sideways and held her in his arms.

Qiao Le didn't feel sleepy, listening to his heartbeat, his heart was heavy, why didn't he tell her? Why? Is it fun to hide it from her so far? Didn't you say that you should be honest with each other? Playing her like a monkey and letting her indulge in his gentle township, is this what Mu Qing wants?

Surrounded by a night of dreams, Qiao Le slept very unsteadily, woke up in a daze in the morning, found that Mu Qing was still sleeping, did not disturb him, got up and packed up her things, and took away all the things she needed.

The sky was just dawning, the old mansion was very quiet, no one got up, Qiao Le walked quietly, standing at the door of the old mansion and looking back, she didn't know when she would come back, I'm afraid it would be a long time.

Mu Qing, goodbye, Ruibao, goodbye, mom loves you.
