Chapter 290: An Unexpected Reunion
On this day, Mu Xuncheng stood in front of Bai Shunan's tomb for a long, long time, and most of the time, he and Leng Qingxi were silent. Only Bai Yu occasionally breaks this silence.
When I returned from the cemetery, it was already getting late.
Mu Xuncheng proposed to take Leng Qingxi and Bai Yu to dinner. Leng Qingxi thought about it, so he agreed.
Mu Xuncheng drove Leng Qingxi and Bai Yu to the restaurant where he often ate. After the three of them sat down, Mu Xuncheng asked Leng Qingxi and Bai Yu to order their favorite food first, and then he also ordered one.
Bai Yu ran around with the adults all afternoon today, and at this time he was a little tired, shrinking in Leng Qingxi's arms, without his previous liveliness.
Mu Xuncheng looked at the mother and son in front of him and suddenly laughed.
Leng Qingxi asked puzzledly, "What are you laughing at?" ”
Mu Xuncheng put away his smile and said seriously: "Do you know? I don't know how many times I've dreamed of this simple scene, it's just a simple family of three sitting and eating together, what a luxury dream for me, but this dream has finally come true today. ”
Leng Qingxi lowered his head with a little blush, and muttered in a low voice, "Who is a family of three with you." ”
Mu Xuncheng didn't refute, just smiled and shook his head.
The meal came quickly, and all three were already hungry.
Mu Xuncheng stopped after eating a little, staring at Leng Qingxi and Bai Yu.
Leng Qingxi was stared at a little uncomfortable, so he asked, "Why don't you eat it?" What are you staring at us for? ”
"I'm full." Mu Xuncheng raised his eyebrows: "I want to remember what you like to eat, isn't this what I should do?" ”
Leng Qingxi was almost choked, she patted her chest, and felt that the current Mu Xuncheng was simply incomprehensible, and she simply didn't understand, completely regarded him as a transparent person, and continued to eat herself.
Just as Leng Qingxi continued to struggle with his dinner, a somewhat hesitant voice suddenly came from behind him: "Qingxi? ”
Leng Qingxi turned around and saw a familiar person: Wen Shizhong.
Wen Shizhong brought his family to dine here.
In fact, it's not a strange thing to meet, because when Mu Xuncheng and Wen Shizhong were still good friends, the two of them would often come here to eat.
After the two of them turned their faces because of the incident in Leng Qingxi, the two of them would also come here to eat by themselves, but, strangely, they almost never met once.
Occasionally, when they meet, there will be a negative avoidance on one side.
Leng Qingxi hurriedly stood up: "Shizhong, it's you, it's really a coincidence." ”
Wen Shizhong looked at Leng Qingxi for a while, looked at Mu Xuncheng again, and said in disbelief: "Yes, it's really a coincidence." ”
Wen Shizhong's wife once had some intersections with Leng Qingxi, although she hadn't seen her for a year, she still recognized Leng Qingxi at a glance: "Miss Leng, long time no see." ”
"yes, long time no see."
"Who is this?" Wen Shizhong's wife looked at Mu Xuncheng and asked curiously.
Back then, when Wen Shizhong got married, he didn't invite Mu Xuncheng at all, although Mu Xuncheng knew that Wen Shizhong was married, but he had never met his wife.
"This is ......" Leng Qingxi hesitated, not knowing how to explain it.
Wen Shizhong hurriedly relieved Leng Qingxi: "This is the president of the famous Mu family, Mu Xuncheng." ”
"Oh, it turned out to be President Mu, no wonder it looks so familiar, we must have seen it on some occasion before." Wen Shizhong's wife is also an upper-class celebrity, and it is not surprising that she has had several encounters with Mu Xuncheng, but they don't know each other.
"Are you coming to dinner, too? Oh, by the way, Xiaoyu, let's call my uncle and aunt. ”
Leng Qingxi suddenly thought about it, to Bai Yu.
Bai Yu had been looking at the uncle and aunt who had just appeared with curiosity, and he vaguely remembered them.
So I called my uncle and aunt sweetly.
Wen Shizhong looked at Bai Yu and asked, "Little Bai Yu has grown so big, it's only been a year." ”
"yes, a lot can happen in a year." Leng Qingxi sighed.
Wen Shizhong looked at Mu Xuncheng and said, "Yes, it seems that a lot of things have happened to you in the past year. ”
Mu Xuncheng, who had not spoken, had been watching Leng Qingxi and Wen Shizhong reminisce from the side.
Seeing Wen Shizhong looking at him, he finally spoke: "Shizhong, since it's such a coincidence, let's sit down and eat a little, our old friends, we haven't eaten together for a long time." ”
Wen Shizhong just wanted to say no, but Leng Qingxi also said: "Yes, Shizhong, since we met, let's have a meal together." ”
"Yes, yes." Wen Shizhong's wife didn't wait for Wen Shizhong to speak, so she readily agreed.
Of course, she remembers Leng Qingxi, and she also remembers her husband's abnormal reaction for several days after Leng Qingxi came to her house for the first time, and she is still a little haunted. After seeing Leng Qingxi, Wen Shizhong was very silent and unrelenting for several days.
She knows what kind of person her husband is, and she believes that he will not do anything out of the ordinary.
But a woman can influence her husband so easily, which still makes her very uncomfortable.
Today, I saw Leng Qingxi sitting with a child and a man, as if she was between three people, of course she couldn't miss it.
So she sat down beside Leng Qingxi and said with a smile, "Then bother." ”
Wen Shizhong looked at his wife helplessly, and had no choice but to sit down.
After eating a meal, everyone is actually embarrassed.
Wen Shizhong has always been sullen, and Leng Qingxi doesn't have a lot to say, after all, on the one hand, it is because of Wen Shizhong's wife, who can't show that he is very familiar with Wen Shizhong, and on the other hand, Leng Qingxi has always remembered the reason why Wen Shizhong and Mu Xuncheng became what they are today.
Therefore, she was very afraid that her every move would touch something bad, and she ate her meal carefully.
Finally finished the meal, Wen Shizhong got up and was about to say goodbye, but Mu Xuncheng proposed that it was still early, and it was finally time for old friends to reunite, so it was better to get together together.
Mu Xuncheng discussed with Leng Qingxi, asked Lao Zhou to drive, and took Bai Yu back to the recruiting family.
Bai Yu didn't resist going to the Mu family at all, and Leng Qingxi saw that Mu Xuncheng was so insistent, so he agreed.
Seeing Bai Yu away, Mu Xuncheng proposed to go to the bar he used to go to to sit down.
Wen Shizhong shook his head: "Forget it, I haven't been there for a long time, and the atmosphere there is not very good." Since you're so interested, why don't you go to my house and sit down. You haven't been there since I got married. ”
Mu Xuncheng thought for a moment and said, "It's okay." ”
The four of them drove to Wen Shizhong's house.
After Wen Shizhong got married, he did not live with the old man in the family, but bought a villa separately.
This villa Mu Xuncheng has never been to before.
Sitting in the living room of Wen Shizhong's house, Wen Shizhong's wife was busy preparing some fruits for the guests. Leng Qingxi looked at Wen Shizhong and Mu Xuncheng, and knew that the two friends must have a lot to say, so she went to the kitchen under the pretext of helping Wen Shizhong's wife, and only Wen Shizhong and Mu Xuncheng were left in the living room.
Mu Xuncheng lowered his head and rubbed his hands.
Wen Shizhong kept holding the teacup to hide his embarrassment.
"So, you're together again?" Wen Shizhong finally couldn't help but ask.
"This ......" Mu Xuncheng hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to answer.
Together? He didn't know, although Leng Qingxi agreed to return to China with him, but he refused to return to the Mu family, if they were not together, but the way the two of them get along now is no different from that of a couple, even Mu Xuncheng himself can't figure out what they are now.
"What's there to hesitate about? Yes, yes? Isn't it, isn't it? "Wen Shizhong has always been gentle and elegant, and his words are smiling.
However, for this friend who he hasn't seen for many years, he seems to lack this emotion.
However, Mu Xuncheng doesn't mind, people who are not familiar with Wen Shizhong must be a gentle son who is as gentle as jade.
But only those who are familiar with him and close to him will know that Wen Shizhong also has an impatient side. And this side of him can only be shown in front of those closest to him.
Although the relationship between the two is still tense, the feelings and habits over the years have made Wen Shizhong unconsciously show his true self in front of Mu Xuncheng.
"How so?" Mu Xuncheng thought for a while and didn't know how to explain to Wen Shizhong: "Over the years, a lot of things have happened, and you know some of them, so now I'm not sure what Leng Qingxi thinks, but I can be sure of what I think." ”
"Oh?" Wen Shizhong looked sarcastic: "Are you wishful thinking again? ”
Mu Xuncheng smiled bitterly, it seemed that he had really offended this former best friend, so he would not hesitate to seize every opportunity to ridicule and hit himself.
"Yes, but I believe that this is not my wishful thinking, Qingxi ......"
"Okay, you don't need to say it, I'll just ask you one thing, what are your plans in the future."
"Of course I want to be with her." Mu Xuncheng replied without thinking.
He raised his head, saw Wen Shizhong's expression of disbelief, and smiled bitterly: "Okay, I know, you don't believe me at all, in fact, in the past few years, a lot has happened, Ling Fei'er committed suicide, you know." ”
Mu Xuncheng began to tell Wen Shizhong about what had happened over the years.
On the other side, in the kitchen of the Wen family, Leng Qingxi was helping Wen Shizhong's wife wash the fruits.
"Miss Leng, forgive me for taking the liberty of something, something has happened between you and our family lineage."
Wen Shizhong's wife asked straight to the point.
Leng Qingxi sighed, a woman's sixth sense is really a very powerful thing.
"Well, sort of. But that was many years ago. Leng Qingxi admitted, but she quickly explained to her: "It was all a long time ago, and it's all in the past. You believe me, Se Zhong is a very principled person, and I can see that he loves you and this family very much, and you must believe him. ”
"Of course I believe him, otherwise I wouldn't have invited you to my house." Wen Shizhong's wife put the fruit on the plate and smiled at Leng Qingxi: "It's just that women are really a very strange thing, I know that it's all in the past, but I always feel a little uncomfortable in my heart, I always want to know the answer from your mouth to feel at ease, Miss Leng, don't laugh at me." ”
"Where, how." Leng Qingxi hurriedly replied.
