When I called Guan Yunzhu back and said that I needed to go home late at night, I felt very uncomfortable when I heard her disappointed sigh, and I almost wanted to throw down the phone and refuse Hua Yuanshu's invitation, and then go back directly to talk to Guan Yunzhu about this matter. However, as soon as I thought of Xiaoru and Yueyue, my heart immediately hardened, and finally said, "Mom, I'll go back as soon as possible, it's not too late." ”

"Ah Zi, as a girl, you have to know your bottom line. Because your mother hasn't been with you since you were a child, I don't know how you deal with this kind of thing, but girls have one thing that must be remembered, that is, self-respect, try to go home early. Don't get too close to him until you get married, and don't forget the girl's reserve. Guan Yunzhu said carefully.

"Mom, I see." I really felt the difference between having a mother and not having a mother.

I hung up the phone, straightened out my makeup in front of the mirror, and then walked out and returned to Hua Yuanshu. He looked at me, smiled and said, "Tell your family?" ”

"yes, otherwise my mother would have been waiting for me to go back." I say.

"Now there are not many girls like you who tell their parents in every detail, and I always feel that you were not this kind of good girl before, but now I really don't know if it's because you've grown up, and I always feel that you're a lot more well-behaved than before." He said.

I smiled faintly: "You've changed a lot compared to before, haven't you?" ”

He was speechless and laughed, laughing as he looked at me with doting eyes, and I was stunned, he reached over across the table, wiped the corner of my mouth with paper, and said, "Coffee foam." ”

I blushed slightly, put down my coffee cup and said, "I still have something to do in the morning, so let's go early?" ”

Hua Yuanshu nodded and said, "Okay, I'll pick you up at the company when I get off work." ”

I was looking forward to meeting the children all day, and after a long time of not seeing each other, I almost forgot what Xiaoru looked like. I kept myself from thinking about my children because I didn't know what I was going to do next when I thought about them. Every time I choose between Shen Mo and the child, I am really tired. This time, I want to give up feelings as long as the child. No matter what the Cheng family's opinions are, I have decided to marry Hua Yuanshu.

When I followed Hua Yuanshu into the gate of Hua's house, my heart was like a deer, I was nervous, I didn't know why, my palms were sweaty.

As Hua Yuanshu's fiancée, as the stepmother of the children, can they accept me?

Walking into the gate of Huajia, I found that this time is very different from the last time, how to say it, not that the decoration style of the home has changed, but I feel that the whole house is depressed. It turns out that the Hua family is lively and vibrant, and this time it looks a little lonely no matter what angle you look at.

There was only one nanny in her forties playing with the two children in the living room, Qiu Shuling was nowhere to be seen, and Hua Yuanyan was nowhere to be seen.

Someone seemed to be busy in the kitchen, and when he heard the voice, he poked his head out and looked at it, and said, "Mr. Hua, you are back, and dinner will be ready soon." ”

Hua Yuanshu nodded and said, "Just have a light meal, don't mind too much, it's very simple." ”

I glanced around the room and asked, "What about the others?" ”

Hua Yuanshu took the bag in my hand and put it on the table, took my hand and walked in, saying as he walked: "My mother has returned to Hong Kong with Yuanyan, and now there are only me and the children at home." ”

After speaking, he raised his hand and gestured to the two children and said, "Xiaoru, Yueyue, come and meet Aunt Cheng." ”

The two of them were quiet, one flipping through the books in their hands, and the other building blocks on the carpet. Hearing Hua Yuanshu's words, they stood up, walked over step by step, stood in front of me in a proper manner, and said with a serious face, "Hello Aunt Cheng." ”

After saying that, the two of them held hands and turned to leave, and went back there to play with toys.

From beginning to end, there was not a single smile on the faces of the two children. I felt so uncomfortable that I felt like a pinprick in my heart, and I really felt that I was too late.

Xiaoru wasn't a particularly extroverted child before, but at least she was normal, she could cry and laugh, lose her temper and make trouble, but now? She had the face of an adult at a young age, and she could see nothing but rules and calmness on it.

Yueyue was even more silent, and unusually thin.

Hua Yuanshu saw that the two children just said hello and turned to leave, frowned, and his voice sank: "Xiaoru, Yueyue, how can you talk to Aunt Cheng." ”

I hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Children, they all recognize life, don't blame them." ”

Hua Yuanshu glanced at me, but I didn't look at him, looking at the two little lonely figures, the two of them didn't even raise their heads when they heard Hua Yuanshu's reproach.

"I'm used to it." Hua Yuanshu shook his head and said, "Actually, I also know that children can't do without a mother, but Jiang Weiwei ......"

He didn't continue, I guessed. Jiang Weiwei treats these two children very ordinarily, and even regards the two of them as thorns in the eye, not good for them, if it weren't for Qiu Shuling watching from the side, I don't think they would even have the possibility of living to this day.

"Mr. Hua, the meal is ready, do you want to put it on now?" Auntie came over and asked.

Hua Yuanshu nodded and said, "Okay, let's eat now." ”

After speaking, he smiled at me, walked over to Xiaoru and Yueyue, squatted down and said, "Now that it's time to eat, Dad will accompany you to wash your hands, okay?" ”

Xiaoru looked up at him, then at me, and nodded.

Yueyue threw the building blocks in her hand on the ground and said, "I don't want to eat, I'm not hungry." ”

"Yueyue, you're already very thin, do you have to work hard to eat?" Hua Yuanshu wanted to get angry, but I could tell that he was trying to suppress his temper.

Yue Yue sat there fixedly, throwing the blocks one by one, and never looked at Hua Yuanshu again.

The more I look at it, the more uncomfortable it becomes, Huayuan Tree can give them good material living conditions, but it can't give them the taste of home they want. The two children are not just a pitiful problem now, they no longer have the child's innocence and cuteness in their eyes, some are blank and helpless, and there is a deep loneliness.

I stood up and walked over to them, knelt down on the carpet, and started with Xiaoru.

I picked up the book that Xiaoru threw on the ground, glanced at the title of the book, "Brave Carmela", opened it and looked at it, and before I could think about what tone to speak, I heard a sound, and the book flew out of my hand. Xiaoru slapped the book, took it back, glared at me and said, "This is the book my mother gave me, you are not allowed to move." ”

I asked, "When will your mother deliver your books?" ”

I tried to keep my voice as gentle as possible, and I looked at her with a firm and warm look in my eyes.

Children look at people by looking at their eyes, they can keenly feel the changes in your feelings, whether they like or hate him, whether they are sincere, whether they are irritable, and whether they are coping.

It may be that my eyes played a role, and under my gentle gaze, Xiao Ru's hand holding the book tightened, tightened, and finally said in a small voice: "My mother Liu gave it to me." ”

I can guess that it was sent by Liu Yue, but I don't know that Xiaoru takes this very seriously.

"Even if it was given by Liu's mother, she couldn't treat Aunt Cheng like that." Hua Yuanshu said on the side.

As soon as I heard his words, I said in my heart: It's over, I've worked hard for a long time, and he's all ruined.

Sure enough, Xiao Ru's whole body immediately became nervous when he heard his words, and the vigilance in his eyes rearmed. I had no other way, so I continued to say gently: "Oh, then you must like this Mother Liu very much, right?" Would you like to tell me about Liu's mother? Or have a chance to hang out with Liu's mother? ”

I put it to the blast and repeatedly confirmed one thing to her, that I was very friendly to her mother Liu.

Auntie had already put dinner on the table at this time, and Hua Yuanshu saw that the two children were still sitting on the ground and did not move, and immediately urged again. As soon as I saw that he was showing this sign, I stopped him and whispered, "Don't worry, the child's affairs can't be in a hurry." ”

I insisted on lying on the ground for another fifteen minutes, and Xiaoru was finally willing to say a few words to her mother Liu. Seeing her relax in front of me again, I took the opportunity to point to the table and said, "You see it's half past seven in the evening, do you want to talk while eating?" There's still plenty of time to play games after eating. ”

Xiaoru looked at Hua Yuanshu, and Hua Yuanshu nodded. She looked at Yueyue again, and Yueyue didn't seem to have any objections. She asked weakly at this time, "Then wait a minute, can you tell me this story?" ”

"Yes." I readily agreed.

Xiao Ru's tightly locked forehead soothed, and said to Yueyue, "Brother, let's play again after eating." ”

It could be seen that Yueyue felt very sorry for this sister, and when she heard her say this, she put down the building blocks and went into the bathroom to wash her hands.

Finally, I brought the two children to the table and sat down, and the food was already cold.

Hua Yuanshu shook his head helplessly and said: "It's like this every day when you eat, you can only be well-behaved when grandma is there, as soon as grandma leaves, she immediately becomes a bobblehead doll who says no, so you can't do anything, unless grandma ......"

"The children are all the same, and that's not a bad thing." I interrupted him and laughed, "You don't always have to treat the two of them with the same standards as adults, after all, they're only six-year-olds." ”

Hua Yuanshu looked at me with sparkling eyes, and something was flowing inside. I knew what he was thinking, and it was a surprise to him that I could treat the kid like this, and he had a lot of surprises. However, I don't want to hide my concern for my children in front of them. Over the years, I have taken on the name of a mother, but I don't care about them, I'm really sorry for them.

Now, now that I have the opportunity to care about them openly, I will naturally not let it go.

For dinner, I almost watched the two of them eating, and as soon as their eyes stopped on that one dish a little longer, I immediately sandwiched it. Hua Yuanshu worked hard to pick up vegetables for me, and I worked hard to pick up vegetables for the two children. At first, they were very resistant to the way they cared about me, but in the end, I found that no matter what method they used to resist, I was not in a hurry, so I slowly relaxed and was willing to eat the food I had served.
