167 My desire is to be a good wife and mother
Mu Xin saw that Tan Mingtao's black hair was dripping with water, and his finger joints were not very flexible, so he couldn't wipe the water droplets off the black hair, she wanted to step forward with a good heart, but she just took a step forward with her long legs, how did she know that the sheets and quilts under her feet tripped her feet, and she lost her center of gravity and threw herself forward.
"Ahh
Seeing this, Tan Mingtao's pupils contracted, and he threw away the towel in his hand, because he was instinctive in his heart, and he was worried that Mu Xinyan would fall to the ground, so he gritted his teeth, tried his best, and ran forward with his feet, stretching out his arms to Mu Xinyan who had fallen, wanting to hold her in his arms so that she would not fall on the hard floor.
"Fourth brother, get out of the way, don't let me bump into you." Mu Xinyan saw that he wanted to save herself, and she was worried about his body, so she kept him away from her.
And Tan Mingtao naturally wouldn't listen to her, he smiled and comforted Mu Xinyan: "Don't worry about me, I can do it." ”
Fortunately, he caught Mu Xinyan, because of her gravity impact, and Tan Mingtao held her, and the two rolled lightly on the ground, reducing the cushioning force, so Mu Xinyan didn't fall much, but what made Mu Xinyan blush was that she and Tan Mingtao's lips were next to each other because of the fall.
None of them moved, his arm gently wrapped around her slender waist, and she snuggled in his arms, the two kissed each other like this, time seemed to stand still at this moment, and Mu Xinyan's brain was blank.
Suddenly, Mu Xinyan gently pushed away Tan Mingtao's embrace, immediately sat up, and then turned her back to Tan Mingtao, she felt that her face was hot and panicked. She bit her lip and frowned, secretly annoyed, and awkward.
Tan Mingtao also sat up with his hands on the floor, he looked at Mu Xinyan's back with his back to him, and pursed his lips: "Xin'er, ...... just now"
"Didn't I tell you not to come here? Did you fall somewhere? Mu Xinyan intercepted the words, for fear that he would mention this kiss that was not a kiss.
"I'm fine." Tan Mingtao also felt that she was reluctant to mention what happened just now, so he had to pretend that it hadn't happened, "I'm a man, if I want to watch you fall, I can't do it." ”
"Your body is not complete now, you have to take care of yourself more, even if I fall, it will be fine." Mu Xinyan still spoke with her back to him.
"Aren't men born to protect women? Besides, I'm rough and thick-skinned, so it doesn't matter if I fall, but don't fall anywhere, otherwise who will take care of me, a troublesome character. Tan Mingtao's eyes were still staring at his slender and graceful neck.
"I'm fine enough to take care of you." Mu Xinyan said hurriedly.
"Xin'er, isn't it rude for you to keep talking with your back to me like this?" Tan Mingtao paid attention to her small movements.
Mu Xinyan now feels that her face is so hot that she can fry eggs, how can she have any face to face him now, I am afraid that she will be laughed to death. It's obviously a kiss, but she blushes so much that it drips blood, isn't she too sensitive?
"Oh...... Yes, there is. Mu Xinyan admitted.
"Then turn around and look at me." Tan Mingtao gently coaxed her, and her eyes were like the brightest stars in the night.
Mu Xinyan took a deep breath, breathed again, pursed her lips, and then turned to look at Tan Mingtao, but only had the courage to look at him for a second, and then lowered her eyelids, and the shadow of her thin eyelashes fell on the skin under her eyes.
"Why are you blushing?" Tan Mingtao looked at her face as red as an apple, it was so tempting and delicious.
"Is there a blush?" Mu Xinyan didn't admit that she blushed because of the kiss just now.
"Is it too hot?" Tan Mingtao raised his eyebrows slightly, cooperating with her lies.
"yes, it's starting to get hot." Mu Xinyan seemed to have found a reason to blush, and then got up from the ground, "I'll open the window and let in some fresh air, and I'll close it for you when you sleep." ”
After that, as if she had a reason to escape, she hurried to the floor-to-ceiling window, opened the curtains, opened the floor-to-ceiling window, and the cool air of the night greeted her. She took a deep breath, her heart was refreshed, and when she raised her eyes into the distance, she saw the familiar car under the dim street lamp, which belonged to Guan Yiwei. She was suddenly stunned, staring straight at the car.
Guan Yiwei called her this afternoon, she felt that he had something to say, but in the end she didn't say anything more, and hung up the phone.
Since Guan Yiwei said that she liked her in this room that day, she felt that her heart had changed significantly, she knew that Guan Yiwei was a rare good man, but she couldn't accept Guan Yiwei's feelings, but she didn't want to lose this friend. I don't want the distance between them to be widened by this incident. But she didn't know what to do in the face of him, and she always wanted to escape.
And Guan Yi in the car stared directly at the window of the villa, and when he saw a figure swaying on the balcony, his eyes immediately widened. Try to discern who that person is. When he realized that it was a woman's body, he hurriedly opened the car door, and after getting down, he looked up at the window and looked straight at Mu Xinyan on the balcony on the second floor.
The eyes of the two intertwined in the air, and they also debated each other.
Seeing Guan Yiwei who appeared outside the villa late at night, Mu Xinyan couldn't put it into words. She didn't want him to be so attached to her, she just wanted him to be happy, which was not something she could give, but hoped that an angel would appear who could save him.
Guan Yiwei looked at Mu Xinyan, the corners of his lips raised a light smile, even if they didn't speak to each other, even if they were only, they looked at each other quietly like this, only eye contact, no speech, he was already very happy, as long as he could look at her, this heart was already extremely satisfied. He doesn't expect too much, he just wants to see her all the time, see if she's doing well, and see if she's happy.
Isn't liking someone just to see her happy, he is happy, and if she is happy, he will be happy?
So Mu Xinyan, even if you don't choose me, I will still like you so silently, please allow me to like you like this way.
Guan Yiwei faced her and said with her lips, but she couldn't hear or see clearly.
Mu Xinyan's fingers clenched the edge of the window tightly, watching the cold moonlight fall on his body, making his face pale and almost stopping his breathing.
"Xin'er, what are you looking at so distracted? I called you several times, but I didn't answer me. Tan Mingtao saw that she had been standing still, and tried to call her several times, but he couldn't get a response from her.
He stood up from the ground and walked slowly towards her.
"Hmm...... I...... I didn't look at anything. Mu Xinyan came back to her senses and turned her head, but saw Tan Mingtao approaching.
"What didn't you really see?" Tan Mingtao looked at her somewhat panicked face, frowned, and didn't believe her words.
"I really didn't see anything, it was dark outside, and I couldn't see anything." Mu Xinyan raised a bright smile and blocked Tan Mingtao's sight.
In the middle of the night, she didn't want to talk about Mingtao's appearance there, and it would be bad to cause any unnecessary trouble.
Mu Xinyan then calmed her heartbeat and looked at him: "Fourth brother, it's too late, let's go to bed quickly." ”
Then she put her hands on his shoulders, turned him around, pushed him to the bed, and pulled the quilt for him: "Okay, fourth brother, it's time to sleep." ”
"Okay." Tan Mingtao didn't refuse, looking at her smile, he didn't want to investigate what was true and what was fake.
Then Tan Mingtao went to bed, Mu Xinyan covered the quilt for her and tucked the corners of the quilt: "It's windy at night, I'll close the window for you." ”
Mu Xinyan walked over and saw that Guan Yiwei and his car were gone, and she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, for fear that Tan Mingtao would see it. But the other side just now was like a dream, as if he hadn't been here at all, and he hadn't appeared, and it was just her fantasy.
She closed the window, closed the curtains, and turned away.
"Xin'er, you're tired too, go and rest." Tan Mingtao saw a flash of tiredness in her eyes.
"Okay, fourth brother, good night." Mu Xinyan raised the corners of her lips.
"Good dreams."
Mu Xinyan turned off the light, and the room was silent. She stepped back, closed the door, and let out a breath from her heart. She walked slowly to her bedroom next door, not wanting to turn on the light, but walked to the edge of the sofa and sat down in the faint light of the moonlight.
In the dark, her thoughts were surging, and there was no peace on the lake of her heart for a long time, and she had no sleep.
In the dark, her mobile phone screen lit up, and when she picked up her phone, it turned out to be a time reminder.
She got up, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and gently opened the curtains, why did Guan Yiwei's car appear again? She rubbed her eyes, not to be mistaken. But it's really his. It's so late, why haven't you left yet? Don't you need to rest?
Mu Xinyan sighed, then turned around, walked out of the bedroom lightly, went downstairs, opened the door of the hall, walked through the front yard, came to the door, and walked in the direction of Guan Yiwei's car.
Guan Yiwei also saw Mu Xinyan, coming from the dim light, and the delicacy between her eyebrows became more and more exciting.
"Seeing me in the middle of the night, someone is sympathetic, right?" Guan Yiwei put his hands in his suit pants.
Today's Guan Yiwei attended the cocktail party, so he wore a white suit, slim cut, showing his upright posture, black bow tie jumped out in white, plus he was plated with a cold and clean moonlight, exceptionally gentle and handsome, and his temperament was outstanding. He is so perfect and has the charm to attract thousands of women, but why should he be so passionate about her? A woman who won't return any of his feelings!
Mu Xinyan shook her head: "It's so late, why don't you go home, what are you doing hanging around here?" Beware of being photographed by some journalists, and your image will be damaged. That's more than worth the loss. ”
Guan Yiwei laughed out loud and disagreed: "No matter how good my career is, if there is no beloved woman to share, it will not be considered real success." ”
Mu Xinyan dodged his straight gaze: "There will be, there will be one day." The girl who suits you will appear, so don't be so discouraged. ”
"Xin'er, the woman I'm talking about is you, I don't need anyone else." Guan Yiwei was so direct again, so Mu Xinyan had no way back.
Mu Xinyan was silent for a long time, but she didn't speak, and Guan Yiwei was also silent, and the two of them were like this, quietly letting time pass. No one opened their mouths to turn around this beautiful silence. Maybe it's because I don't know how to open my mouth, so that we won't embarrass each other and get hurt.
Mu Xinyan's white eyebrows were gently furrowed, like the delicate and moving creases on the petals of a pure lily, which were picturesque in the moonlight. Guan Yiwei involuntarily raised her hand, stroked her frowning eyebrows, and her rounded fingertips caress her wrinkles.
The water under his eyes was shining: "I don't want you to be embarrassed, but I still make you embarrassed." Xin'er, what do you think I should do? What can I do to make it so that I don't feel embarrassed and that I don't have so much pain? ”
Mu Xinyan's eyebrows were still wrinkled, she closed her eyes in pain, shook her head, and kept shaking her head: "I don't know, I really don't know...... I didn't want to hurt you, but I still hurt you after all, which made me very uneasy, Yiwei, I'm sorry, I'm sorry for you--"
His fingers tapped between her lips, caressing the soft vermilion, and smiling warmly: "Don't say I'm sorry, this will make me embarrassed, because I am the one who likes you, what does it have to do with you?" I'm the one who should bear this pain, and I'm the one who bothered you. Xin'er, the person who should say I'm sorry is me, I pushed you to such a point, you scold me, beat me, I am willing to bear it. ”
"......" Mu Xinyan bit her lip and shook her head, but "Woo ......" couldn't hold back crying anymore, in this night, it was like the whimper of the night wind, which made people's hearts hurt.
She couldn't stop herself from crying, and the tears flowed out of her eyes, and the bitterness spread endlessly.
Guan Yiwei looked at Mu Xinyan with low eyes and cried, his heart seemed to be cut by countless knives, and his heart was extremely heartbroken. As soon as he stretched out his long arms, Mu Xinyan fell into a warm embrace.
"Don't cry......" Guan Yiwei put her straight jaw on the top of her hair and murmured softly, "As soon as you cry, my heart is even more flustered, as if I did something wrong and bullied you." ”
In the next second, Mu Xinyan raised her hand and pushed away from Guan Yiwei's embrace, distancing herself from him: "Guan Yiwei, don't do this again in the future, you will only make me feel that I am sorry for you, so please be kind to yourself and love yourself more." ”
"Actually, I didn't want you to know that I was watching you here." Guan Yiwei took a deep breath and looked at the crystal in the corner of her eyes, "It has caused you trouble and pressured you." Xin'er, you should also be kind to yourself. ”
Mu Xinyan pursed her lips and nodded.
Guan Yiwei pulled a smile from the corner of his lips: "That's precious, I'm leaving." ”
Mu Xinyan nodded in addition to nodding.
Guan Yiwei got into the car just now, and looked at Mu Xinyan standing quietly under the street lamp through the reversing mirror, the dim light jumped at the ends of her hair, she was so beautiful and moving, but he had to give up. It's hard for him to do it, but does he have to do it? Guan Yiwei looked at Mu Xinyan who was holding her eyelashes, gritted her teeth, held the steering wheel tightly with both hands, the joints of her ten fingers were flushed white, and those pains flooded in his heart and couldn't stop.
Then he still started the car and turned away, but his eyes kept looking at Mu Xinyan who was getting smaller and smaller in the rearview mirror, until it turned into a black dot and disappeared from his sight, she was still standing alone in place, and the light stretched her shadow very long.
Mu Xinyan bit her lip, the tip of her nose was sour, and then she stretched out her hands to wrap around her cold body, and slowly squatted down, tears fell one after another, and the hot tears burned the skin on the back of her hand.
She knows the pain of being hurt by love, she knows that she has drawn a cruel knife on Guan Yiwei's heart, that kind of pain will spread wantonly, it will go deep into the bone marrow, if you don't get the antidote, then it will hurt for a long time. Now she only prayed that someone would show up to heal his pain, so that she wouldn't feel so guilty.
"Guan Yiwei, thank you for your long-term care and love for me, but I am bound to lose you in this life, thank you. I know that no amount of what I say will soothe your pain, so I can only bless you and wish you to find your own happiness. ”
Mu Xinyan bit her lip and groaned these words out of her throat.
And she didn't know that Tan Mingtao, who was on the second floor, was not asleep, after Mu Xinyan returned to her bedroom, he got up from the bed, barefoot, and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window step by step, he opened the curtain to let the moonlight in, and then he saw Guan Yiwei standing there, looking up in the direction of the second floor. He could guess that he didn't come to see him, if he came to see him, he didn't need to stand outside, but came in openly, and the direction he was looking was in the direction of Mu Xinyan's bedroom, and it was already obvious. He came to see Mu Xinyan, and when Mu Xinyan opened the window for him just now, he saw Guan Yiwei standing there, but she tried her best to hide it, didn't she want him to see the scene where she went out of the bedroom just now and ran to have a tryst with Guan Yiwei? Afraid that he will find out the secret between them?
Tan Mingtao had been standing there, seeing Mu Xinyan walking towards Guan Yiwei who was waiting for her, and then seeing Guan Yiwei raise his hand to touch her eyebrows, seeing his finger on her red lips, seeing him holding her in his arms, and after Guan Yiwei left, Mu Xinyan's reluctance towards him squatted on the ground sadly, as if she was crying.
Tan Mingtao, who couldn't hear what they said, obviously misunderstood the relationship between Guan Yiwei and Mu Xinyan, thinking that they were having a tryst, and thinking that Mu Xinyan was reluctant to Guan Yiwei. His hands clenched the curtains tightly, and there was frost condensing under his eyes, colder than the night. He didn't know where he got the strength, so big that he tore the curtains. The sound of "sizzle" is particularly thrilling in this quiet air.
After hearing this tearing sound, Tan Mingtao realized that he was out of control just now, he had always admired his self-control, but today he was so out of control that he tore the curtains. He let go of his palm and looked at his hand, which was cut open by the force of the curtain, and a bright red streak of blood poured out. One drop, two drops, three drops, fell to the ground, blurring a pool of dark blood, and he didn't feel any pain at all, but he couldn't say uncomfortable in his heart.
It seems that he hindered Mu Xinyan and Guan Yiwei's relationship, right?
His eyes were dark and deep, looking at Mu Xinyan, who was lonely in the night, a dull pain rose in his chest.
Suddenly, there were water drops on the glass of the floor-to-ceiling window, and then it hit it densely, crackling on it, and merging into a stream of water.
It's raining, Mu Xinyan is still squatting there, there is no sign of leaving, is she so reluctant to Guan Yiwei?
Tan Mingtao turned around, walked out of the bedroom, held on to the handrail, walked down step by step, walked to the entrance, took an umbrella, and went out, walked through the yard, walked to the road, and walked towards Mu Xinyan.
The rain had already wet her hair, and she was still squatting there, and suddenly, a pair of bare feet fell into her sight, and up, there were gray silky pajamas, and then Tan Mingtao's face was reflected in her pupils, and their eyes met, looking at each other, but his thick eyebrows were furrowed tightly.
"Fourth brother, why did you come out?" Mu Xinyan was very surprised, didn't he sleep? Why did one come out, not even a piece of clothing, and barefoot, "Why don't you wear slippers, what if you scratch your foot?" ”
"Isn't that without scratches?" Tan Mingtao endured the discomfort in his chest in front of her, hooked his thin lips, and smiled.
"But--"
"No, I'm fine. That's enough. It's you, what are you doing here in the rain in the middle of the night? If I hadn't woken up and seen you here, how long would you have been in the rain? You always make me take care of my body, why don't you take care of my body so much? Is your body stronger than my man's? Tan Mingtao saw her alone in the rain here, and he felt indescribable in his heart, and he especially pitied her, "If you keep getting wet in the rain like this, you will catch a cold at least and have a fever to pneumonia at worst." You're not going to die, are you? ”
"I'm not like this--" Her words were interrupted by Tan Mingtao again.
He continued to say to her: "If you really can't let go of something, you can tell me and I can help you." If you want to leave, I agree, as long as you're happy. ”
Mu Xinyan stared at Tan Mingtao, a little confused about what he meant by what he said at the end? What is it that she can't let go?
"Leave?" Mu Xinyan raised her head, slowly stood up, and looked at him at eye level, "Fourth brother, did you say you wanted me to leave?" ”
"Yes, if it is better to let you go and find your happy life than to be unhappy, I bless you." The corners of Mingtao's lips were soft, although these words were very common, but it was so laborious to talk about Mingtao's mouth, as if every time the cells were exerting force, they could force themselves to speak calmly.
"Fourth brother, I'm not unhappy." Mu Xin, she has been eagerly denying it.
"You're not happy right now." Tan Mingtao said softly, "Xin'er, if you make any decision, I will not force you, but respect you." Even if he will be very reluctant to her, and he hopes that he will be with her all the way when he recovers his health, but now he is not qualified to be trapped for a lifetime, and he is not capable of giving her the happiness she wants. If it was a good thing for her to leave, he would let go even if it hurt and reluctant. His pain won't let her know, but she will be left with a smile.
The two stood under the umbrella, the rain curtain enveloping them in that small world, staring at each other, breathing entangled.
"I'm just a moment of shabu control. Fourth brother, I made you laugh. Mu Xinyan took a deep breath, and then said, "The rain is cold, let's go back to the house." ”
One of his feet was washed white by the rain, and Mu Xinyan's heart trembled when he saw it.
Then Mu Xinyan stretched out her hand to help him, but Tan Mingtao said: "I can myself, let me get used to being alone." ”
Mu Xinyan's empty hand there was suddenly withdrawn, and then the two walked side by side, the road was not long, but they walked unusually slowly, and walked for a long time before returning to the house. And Aunt Li also got up in her clothes when she heard the sound of rain, and saw Mu Xinyan and Tan Mingtao who had returned to the living room, and hurriedly stepped forward to take the umbrella.
"Si Shao, Miss Mu, you're so late, where did you go?" Aunt Li's anxious look was revealed.
This Tan Mingtao finally got better, and she came back from the ghost gate, if there was any more mistakes, she really couldn't explain it to the Tan family.
"I just couldn't sleep, so I asked Xin'er to accompany me to go outside for a walk, but I didn't expect it to rain, fortunately I brought an umbrella in advance, otherwise I could be drenched in soup." Tan Mingtao said easily, and the expression on his face was also relaxed. And he also gave Mu Xinyan a look, telling her not to speak.
He didn't want Aunt Li to suspect anything, so he simply took the matter over alone. Aunt Li will never question what he said.
"But Si Shao, why are you barefoot? And your clothes are soaked. "Aunt Li looked at Mu Xinyan again, she was all dry, what's going on?
Mu Xinyan looked over, the clothes on Tan Mingtao's back were completely soaked, he must have been protecting himself when he came back just now, and he hit the umbrella on her side, so he got wet.
"Xin'er and I saw that it was raining, so we were in a hurry to come back, and the cotton slippers were wet by the rain and couldn't walk, so I simply took them off and threw them away." Tan Mingtao looked at Mu Xinyan with a blank expression, "Xin'er, hurry up and go upstairs to prepare clothes for me, I want to take a hot shower." And if you want to come out of Auntie, you can help us cook some ginger soup to go to the cold. ”
"Okay, four less." Aunt Li received the order and went to the kitchen to get busy.
Tan Mingtao and Mu Xinyan went upstairs and walked to the door, Tan Mingtao said to her: "You go back to the room and take a hot shower, don't catch a cold." ”
"I'll help you get your clothes ready." Mu Xinyan said.
"No need, I can do it myself, let's clean myself up." Tan Mingtao opened the door, and after entering, he closed the door.
Mu Xinyan looked at the closed door panel and was speechless for a long time. She felt that Tan Mingtao was a little different, as for what was different. But she couldn't speak.
She turned back to her bedroom and took a quick hot shower. put on his pajamas, put on slippers and came to Tan Mingtao's bedroom, plucked up his courage, and knocked on the door: "Fourth brother, I'm Xin'er, have you washed it?" I came in. ”
Mu Xinyan, who didn't get a response, twisted the doorknob carefully, opened a crack in the door, and looked inside, as if there was no one. She had just gone in and heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom, so she went to the kitchen and found a set of black pajamas and put them on the stool at the door of the bathroom.
"Fourth brother, put the pajamas on the stool for you." Mu Xinyan stood at the door and raised her voice.
And in the shower, Tan Mingtao exhaled heavily: "Okay." ”
The corners of Mu Xinyan's lips hooked a smile, and then she put away the quilt and sheets that she had changed just now, and carried them to the laundry room together with Tan Mingtao's change of clothes for a while. Tomorrow we will wash together and take it to the yard to bask in the sun.
After a while, Duo Tao also washed up, changed into dry pajamas and came out, looking at her standing there holding the sheet: "What's wrong?" ”
"Nothing." Mu Xinyan blushed, then walked over him into the bathroom and took away the clothes in his laundry basket.
Mu Xinyan had just taken two steps holding the clothes, and Tan Mingtao's voice came from behind her: "Let Aunt Li go first with these clothes, you don't need to do it yourself." ”
"I'm willing to do this, and I can also help Aunt Li share some of it." Mu Xinyan pursed her lips, her voice was soft, but firm.
"Actually, it's really wronged to let you stay by my side and do these rough jobs, and someone should feel sorry for you." Tan Mingtao sat on the sofa, and the scene of Guan Yiwei and Mu Xinyan hugging each other flashed in his mind, he closed his eyes tightly, and then opened them, his eyes were innocent.
"Someone feels sorry for me? The fourth brother is really good at laughing, but I have lived alone for so many years. I have done all this work myself, and my wish is to be a good wife and mother. Mu Xinyanjiao smiled, her eyes bright, but the person who wanted to accept her as a good wife and mother was no longer there, and she had lost the opportunity.
There was a gloomy pain flashing from the bottom of her eyes, after so many years, that person was still the deepest pain in her heart, and she couldn't heal it.
became a psychiatrist because the person woke up from a coma, so she changed careers to become a doctor in order to wake him up, but it still didn't save his life. This is her biggest regret. So now she has been doing her best to help those who need her help.
"You are indeed the standard of a good wife and mother, and whoever marries you is blessed." Tan Mingtao naturally agrees with her, Mu Xinyan has given her wholehearted care these days, and he is grateful.
It's just that the blessed person is Guan Yiwei?
Tan Mingtao looked at Mu Xinyan, this sentence was on the tip of his tongue, but he couldn't ask anything.
"Fourth brother, are you making fun of me? Do you know? The man who said he was going to marry me has left my world forever, leaving all the pain behind me. The starlight in Mu Xinyan's eyes was dim, and bitterness spread to her lips and teeth.
"Left you?" Tan Mingtao was surprised, could it be that Guan Yiwei came to break up with Mu Xinyan last night, so Mu Xinyan cried bitterly, "Did I drag you down?" Xin'er, will you leave here to get him back? ”
"Fourth brother, is this driving me away?" Mu Xinyan turned around and looked at him, "If you no longer need you to accompany you, then I will naturally leave." If you still need me, then I will stay until you are fully recovered. ”
