Chapter 33: The Missing "Mother's Love"
As soon as the person on the hospital bed heard Ning Xi's response, he opened his eyes little by little and looked at Ning Xi in front of him with a gentle gaze. "Child, you have suffered all these years! It's all my fault! Liu Yazhi grabbed Ning Xi's hand tightly and said in her own weak voice.
As soon as he heard this, Ning Xi unconsciously thought of his life of hiding debts with his father all these years. Because of the huge debt, Ningxi, who had no worries about food and clothing, was able to run around for life. In the end, I have to live a life of hiding debts all day long.
Ning Xi, who lacked maternal love since childhood, felt like her mother was standing in front of her when she heard Liu Yazhi's words. Ning Xi, who fell into the emotional trap, remembered what happened before, and did not blame anyone in his heart. Thinking about these things that I have experienced over the years, it seems bitter to say it. But the days of being dependent on my father are indeed sweet.
All the previous memories came to Ning Xi's eyes. Ning Xi looked at Liu Yazhi and smiled and said, "It's not bitter, it's actually been pretty good these years." It also made me experience a lot and understand a lot. ”
As soon as these words came out, Liu Yazhi blamed herself even more. Liu Yazhi knew that if it weren't for her opposition at the beginning, Qu Jing would have achieved a positive result with Shen Hexuan a long time ago. Maybe by this time I should be a grandmother. But there is no regret medicine in this world, and Liu Yazhi was moved by Xu Bing'er's sincerity at that time.
"Child, I'm sorry for you!" After finishing speaking, Liu Yazhi pulled Ning Xi and talked about Shen Hexuan's childhood. The two spent an afternoon happily.
Until the maid outside the door came to ask for instructions. "Miss Qu, are you still ready for lunch? Where are you going to eat? The maid was waiting at the door, but when she saw that Ning Xi had never come out, she went in without permission to disturb her.
As soon as Liu Yazhi heard the maid's request, she opened her mouth and cared: "Jing'er, why did you come to see me without having lunch!" If I don't wake up, then why don't you wait for me hungry? Let's go get lunch! It's time for me to take a nap, too. ”
Liu Yazhi knew that if she continued to pull Ning Xi to chat, Ning Xi would not leave. So he simply said that he wanted to rest, so that Ning Xi would eat even if he didn't want to.
Even if she understood Liu Yazhi's intentions, Ning Xi still looked at her with great gratitude. For Ning Xi, who has lacked maternal love since childhood, she has experienced unprecedented love in Liu Yazhi. Although this kind of love is not related, Liu Yazhi really regards her as her future daughter-in-law.
After Ning Xi took care of Liu Yazhi to fall asleep, he returned to the restaurant alone.
The dishes on the table are the same as the ones just now, but the ingredients on the plate have been changed. Ning Xi looked at the food in front of him and asked with curiosity, "How do I remember that it wasn't these dishes just now?" After speaking, Ning Xi looked at the maid beside him intently.
The maid seemed to ask this question until Ning Xi, lowered her head and said, "The dishes from before have been taken to the back kitchen because they have become cold." What is now in front of Miss is what has just been made, and these are all prepared according to Miss's taste, please taste it. ”
When Ning Xi heard this, he instantly felt bored with the Shen family's set. But now that she's in status, she can't complain about it. In desperation, Ning Xi had no choice but to shake his head and say, "Okay, you can retreat first." For some reason, looking at the exquisite dishes in front of him, Ning Xi couldn't arouse his interest.
After a few simple bites, Ning Xi put down the dishes and chopsticks. But at this moment, a familiar voice came from behind him. "Why do you eat so much, is the food made by my chef not delicious?"
As soon as Ning Xi heard this, his whole person was stunned, and he reacted for a long time and didn't figure out who this person was. It wasn't until Ning Xi turned around that he knew that the person standing behind him was Shen Hexuan. "How are you! How did you end up here! Ning Xi thought of the first sentence after seeing Shen Hexuan.
In fact, Shen Hexuan had been behind Ning Xi for a long time, and as soon as he came in, he called all the maids away. He stood aside and watched Ning Xi eat silently, and he didn't ask until Ning Xi put down the dishes and chopsticks.
"Why can't I be here, this is my home! Of course I'll be here! Shen Hexuan looked at Ning Xi with a surprised face, and he was in a very happy mood.
"No, I mean how are you here now. Aren't you supposed to be busy? How did you end up here now? Ning Xi looked at Shen Hexuan and said his inner thoughts seriously.
In fact, Shen Hexuan rushed back after receiving Chen Hua's report and knowing the news that Liu Yazhi had fainted in bed. As soon as he came back, he went to see Liu Yazhi, and he rushed over after learning the news that Ning Xi hadn't eaten lunch because he took care of Liu Yazhi.
Shen Hexuan looked at the dishes on the table, although he didn't know if this was Ning Xi's favorite food. But in his impression, Ning Xi was by no means a picky eater. Shen Hexuan thought of what happened in the restaurant before, smiled and said, "It turns out that you misunderstood what they meant!" ”
Ning Xi felt confused when he heard this. She didn't know what Shen Hexuan meant, but her feeling told her that Shen Hexuan had guessed.
"You don't really think that the maids took your meal and disposed of it!" Shen Hexuan covered his mouth and smiled.
Ning Xi said helplessly: "This is not what the maid told me just now!" She said they had already disposed of it. After finishing speaking, Ning Xi turned around speechlessly, not wanting to look at Shen Hexuan.
"In our family, as long as the food has been served, it cannot be served again. But those dishes will not be handled the way you think, and generally those dishes will be served as the servants' meals after they are served. So it's not worth it to say that you've just been angry. After Shen Hexuan told Ning Xi about this set of rules and regulations in Shen's villa, he sat down next to Ning Xi.
Shen Hexuan turned to look at Ning Xi, smiled and said, "Since you don't eat it, don't waste so many things left." Then he picked up the extra chopsticks next to him and began to eat.
Seeing that Shen Hexuan was eating so well in front of him, Ning Xi realized how ignorant he was just now. I really thought that those meals would become guests in the trash can when they were served on the table, but I didn't expect the Shen family to have such a humane side.
"It seems that these aspects of your family are still very humane! Not bad! Ning Xi touched his stomach, but still picked up the chopsticks in front of him and joined Shen Hexuan's team.
"Didn't you just say you wouldn't eat it! Why are you still coming to rob me now! Shen Hexuan knew that Ning Xi was fine, so he teased.
"Who said I wouldn't eat it! I was just taking a break, just thinking about something. Now that I'm done thinking about it, I'm sure I'm going to eat it anyway! Besides, I haven't eaten enough! Ning Xi said as he stuffed something into his mouth.
It didn't take long for the two of them to finish the food on the table.
Shen Hexuan snapped his fingers, and the maid stepped forward to put the tableware away. "Have you eaten enough? If we don't have enough to eat, we can also eat some fruit! Shen Hexuan looked at Ning Xi's unsatisfied expression, and asked.
"Fruit? What kind of fruits are here? As soon as Ning Xi heard the fruit, he immediately touched his stomach.
"We have everything here, depending on what you want to eat. I'll have them bring it to you. After Shen Hexuan finished speaking, he handed over the maid in.
"I'm going to eat ......., I can't think of anything to eat, so you can get me some of the same fruit you have here!" Ning Xi said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, very casually.
Seeing this, Shen Hexuan didn't make things difficult for Ning Xi, but said to the maid: "You just let the cook come according to Jing'er's wishes!" It's better to keep the portion in check, she's already had lunch just now. After finishing speaking, Shen Hexuan also glanced at Ning Xi very gently.
After Ning Xi received this look, he felt very helpless in his heart. I thought: It turns out that when you and Qu Jing got along, you were so gentle. It turns out that you still call her Jing'er, so what will she call you?
With this question, Ning Xi looked at Shen Hexuan with his hand dragging his chin. It wasn't until after the maid left that she asked in a low voice, "Shen Hexuan, how did you and Qu Jing call each other before?" I'm afraid I'll be in front of your mother later. ”
Originally, seeing Ning Xi take the initiative to come over, Shen Hexuan's heart warmed a little. But as soon as he heard this question, Shen Hexuan fell into silence. Shen Hexuan remembered the first time he saw Qu Jing. At that time, they were still in college, and Qu Jing was his younger sister at that time. And at the beginning, it was Shen Hexuan who took the initiative to attack and chased for a long time before catching up.
I remember the first time Qu Jing called Shen Hexuan, it was still in a summer. Shen Hexuan, who was seen on the playground, saw Qu Jing who was coming back from outside the school, and Shen Hexuan happened to walk towards Qu Jing at that time. At this time, a basketball was flying towards Qu Jing, and Shen Hexuan quickly stepped forward and pulled Qu Jing after seeing it. The basketball then fell from behind Qu Jing, saving Qu Jing from the disaster.
At that time, Qu Jing threw herself into Shen Hexuan's arms, and the surrounding classmates came to congratulate them when they saw this scene. At that time, Qu Jing did not call Shen Hexuan's full name for the first time, but called "Hexuan." ”
Since then, Shen Hexuan has naturally called Qu Jing "Jing'er." And this title was maintained until after they were engaged.
Shen Hexuan told Ning Xi about this, and also asked Ning Xi to call himself Hexuan in the future. Shen Hexuan knew that none of these things were in the information given to her, but there was actually a lot of stories about him and Qu Jing that were not in the information.
When Shen Hexuan was about to give Ning Xi information, he could avoid many things that happened between him and Qu Jing. Because looking at Ning Xi, whose face is very similar to Qu Jing, if he has Qu Jing's memory. At that time, it was really difficult for Shen Hexuan to tell who this person was, and it was very likely that he would be reluctant.
"That means I'm going to call you Hexuan in the future? Do you want to call me Jing'er? What if I can't call it out then? Ning Xi looked at Shen Hexuan with a sincere face.
I saw Shen Hexuan's face turning from white to black at a speed visible to the naked eye. At this time, Ning Xi seemed to know that he had spoken, so he hurriedly added: "Don't be in a hurry to get angry, I've never called someone's name so intimately when I'm so old." I'm afraid that if I can't say it, it will be embarrassing. Ning Xi lowered his head as he spoke, observing Shen Hexuan's reaction.
As soon as he heard this, Shen Hexuan's gloomy face instantly improved. "In that case, you should try not to call me by my name. Look at me whenever you need me, and I'll know what you mean. Although the surface was gloomy, Shen Hexuan was actually very happy in his heart.
"Alright then, I'll try. If it's really because of this goof, don't blame me! Ning Xi stood aside and carefully explained.
