Chapter 141: Thoughts are like a tide, and love is strong
Just when Xue Ning was talking about the bright future of Tao Ze and Xue Lingyu, Mingfu stopped thinking about Xu Lu.
At the last moment before going to bed, Mingfu made the biggest decision, he decided to set off to Baiying early tomorrow morning to find Xu Lu.
When Mingfu got up early the next morning, Xue Ning had already rushed to the company, he carefully selected his favorite clothes to wear on his body, and after some careful dressing, Mingfu began his journey to Baiying.
At this time, Xia Jiangjie had also taken Xu Xinmeng to Baiying, Xu Xinmeng was uneasy along the way, this feeling of "being a thief with a weak heart" always made Xu Xinmeng eager to persuade his mother to agree to be with Ruan Junhao as soon as possible.
Xia Jiangjie looked at Xu Xinmeng, who was worried, and said with concern: "What's wrong?" Don't want to go home? ”
Xu Xinmeng looked ahead, her expression was still very solemn, and said: "No, I'm just afraid that my mother will ask me about Ruan Junhao, I always feel unsure, how can you say that my mother agrees that I am with Ruan Junhao?" ”
Xia Jiangjie thought about it deliberately and said, "Well...... Isn't there the word 'it comes naturally', I think now you and Ruan Junhao will naturally get along, as for your mother's side, if you can't figure it out for a year, it's two years, and if you can't figure it out for two years, it's three years, and as time goes by, I think she will recognize you more and more. ”
"I hope so, too." Xu Xinmeng stretched her eyebrows and showed a bright smile.
Then Xu Xinmeng said: "Mom will be very moved to see so many gifts bought by Dad, maybe she is willing to remarry Dad." ”
Xia Jiangjie smiled and said: "It's strange to say, although your mother rejected my marriage proposal last time, but now she is willing to call and communicate with me, do you think I should be happy?" ”
Xu Xinmeng immediately replied: "Of course, it means that my mother still has you in her heart, so come on, Dad!" ”
When Xia Jiangjie and Xu Xinmeng returned to the downstairs of Baiying's house, Xu Lu had just returned from buying vegetables from the vegetable market.
Xu Xinmeng hurriedly ran to Xu Lu and gave her a big hug, saying, "Mom, I miss you so much!" ”
Looking at Xu Xinmeng, who was so excited, Xu Lu's mood was also much happier, and said, "If you think of me, you should come back to see me more!" ”
"Aren't I coming back?" After that, Xu Xinmeng hurriedly took the convenience bag in Xu Lu's hand and said, "I'll take it, I'll see what dishes my mother bought that I like to eat." ”
Xu Lu hurriedly said: "There are fish, shrimp, and chicken wings..... It's all your favorite food. ”
As she spoke, Xu Xinmeng took Xu Lu's arm and went upstairs, and did not forget to praise Xia Jiangjie again, saying, "Mom, do you know? Dad bought you a lot of gifts, and he specially asked me to go with him to buy gifts for you, but I didn't need them at all, because the gifts he chose were also what I wanted to choose, and it seems that Dad really knows you. ”
Xu Lu's face was solemn when she heard this, she thought of Xia Jiangjie's possessiveness towards her, a terrible threat to her heart, but she couldn't explain this complex emotion to others, even her closest daughter She didn't dare to say it directly.
After returning home, Xu Xinmeng couldn't wait to show Xu Lu the gift Xia Jiangjie bought, but Xu Lu didn't look at it and said, "Put it there, you guys take a rest first, I'll prepare to cook." ”
When Xia Jiangjie heard this, he immediately jumped up from the chair and said, "I'll do it, what I did was approved by our baby daughter!" ”
Xu Xinmeng also echoed and said, "Mom, go and rest for a while, let me cook with my father today, I think I should also learn to cook." ”
Xia Jiangjie immediately said when he heard it: "Yes, Xin Meng also needs to be able to cook and do housework, if she marries someone in the future, she won't know anything, how can she be called a good wife and mother?" ”
Xu Xinmeng instantly understood the meaning of Xia Jiangjie's words when she heard this, and inadvertently lowered her head shyly.
But Xu Lu still regarded Xu Xinmeng as an ignorant little girl, and said: "This good wife and mother didn't learn it, but brought it in her bones. ”
"Mom, I'm an adult, I'm not young anymore, and it's time to learn how to cook." Xu Xinmeng eagerly refuted Xu Lu's point of view, as if she was going to marry someone and be a good wife and mother in the next second.
Xu Lu looked at Xu Xinmeng who was so eager, and it was a little incredible.
But before Xu Lu could think about it, Xia Jiangjie said: "On the way here, Xin Meng also said that you are very hard, you must cook more and do more housework when you come back this time, so that you can have a good rest, in my opinion, you should have let Xin Meng exercise a long time ago, she is no longer a child." ”
Xu Lu realized that Xu Xinmeng was so eager to learn to cook for herself, and she couldn't help but feel warm in her heart.
Seeing that Xu Lu was a little hesitant, Xu Xinmeng hurriedly pushed Xu Lu onto the sofa and let her rest.
If Xu Xinmeng was cooking alone, Xu Lu would never agree, because Xu Lu was afraid that Xu Xinmeng would not be delicious, if Xu Xinmeng didn't like to eat what she cooked, what would she do if she was hungry, and now with Xia Jiangjie's intervention, Xu Lu was a little willing.
If the three of them were busy in the kitchen, Xu Lu would rather quit because she didn't want to have close contact with Xia Jiangjie.
At this moment, Xu Lu received a phone call, and from Xu Lu's somewhat stunned expression, Xia Jiangjie sensitively sensed that the person who called must be someone Xu Lu did not expect.
After hanging up the phone, I saw Xu Lu pick up his handbag and say to Xia Jiangjie and Xu Xinmeng, who were busy in the kitchen: "I have something to do and go out for a while, and I'll be back in a while." ”
Xu Xinmeng was relieved when she heard this, so that she could learn the skills of cooking from Xia Jiangjie, she replied happily: "Mom, you can go out with confidence, when you come back, I will guarantee that the delicious food with all the color and flavor will be on the table." ”
Xu Lu listened to it and said with a smile: "Just don't do any dark cooking." ”
Xia Jiangjie also let Xu Lu go out with peace of mind, and said: "With me, I promise to satisfy you and come back early!" ”
Xu Lu left the house with an "um" sound.
After a while, Xia Jiangjie quietly walked to the balcony in the name of going to the bathroom, he observed that Xu Lu left the community on foot, and guessed that the person she wanted to see should be near the community, so he thought about how to find an opportunity to go out and find out.
Saying that, Mingfu, who came to Baiying, easily found Xu Lu's middle school, he stayed at the school gate, imagining the scene of Xu Lu going to work, imagining the scene of her amiable and affectionate class, and laughed unconsciously.
If he had successfully found Xu Lu back then, maybe now they would be teaching and educating people here together, living a life like a fairy couple, but it was just an "if", and Mingfu knew that if he wanted to replace this "if" with reality, it would be really more difficult than ascending to the sky.
After some imagination, Mingfu wandered around the neighborhood near the school, observing the environment of each community, looking for the one he felt was worthy of Xu Lu's life.
After locking up an elegant community, Mingfu mustered up the courage to call Xu Lu and ask her to meet.
At this time, Mingfu was already nervously waiting for Xu Lu to appear, but Xu Lu did not come out of this quiet community, but walked out of the community of some years on the opposite side.
For a moment, Mingfu felt that Xu Lu's life must have been very difficult over the years, and he had an urge to run over and hug Xu Lu, but this impulse was finally defeated by the reality that he was already a husband, and at the same time, he was afraid that this impulse would frighten Xu Lu.
In this way, Mingfu watched Xu Lu walk slowly, and in an instant, countless beautiful fantasies jumped in Mingfu's mind.
When Xu Lu gently walked up to Mingfu, she was curious and asked, "Why did you come to Baiying?" ”
Mingfu had already thought about how to answer this question, but at this time he was still a little stammering, and said, "We ...... Our company has a partner here, so I'm here on a business trip. ”
"Is it around here? Coincidentally, my house is also near here. ”
Mingfu looked at Xu Lu, who was so happy to see him, and his heart was not so nervous, so he thought about how to open his mouth to invite Xu Lu to have lunch with him.
Just when Mingfu was thinking, Xu Lu spoke first: "My daughter and her father are cooking at home, why don't you go to my house for dinner, Xinmeng will be very happy to see you!" ”
"No..... Don't ......" Mingfu's good mood disappeared in an instant, he didn't expect Xia Jiangjie to be there.
Xu Lu looked at Mingfu, who was a little inexplicably nervous, and also had a big question mark in his heart, Mingfu hurriedly explained: "I came out for a stroll after eating, and I will go back to deal with affairs soon, why don't we find a café and talk casually?" ”
"Well, I know there's a nice café right next door."
With that, Xu Lu led Mingfu to the café.
After ordering coffee, Xu Lu chatted with Mingfu as a good friend.
Mingfu had already made up his mind to come to Xu Lu this time, and he must show her his love for many years, so he mustered up the courage to ask Xu Lu: "I saw him propose to you that day, did you agree to him?" ”
Faced with this sudden question, Xu Lu was first surprised, and then replied: "No, we have been divorced for many years, and we have long lost our feelings for each other, and now the only bond is Xinmeng." ”
"Have you let go of Ruan Linsheng all these years? Can you forgive him for what he did to hurt you? ”
This Mingfu's questions were all close to Xu Lu's sore spot, Xu Lu looked at Mingfu and said coldly: "Can we not talk about them?" ”
From Xu Lu's reaction, Mingfu could vaguely feel how deep the damage caused to Xu Lu by the events of that year was.
