Xie Xun called Shang Miao, and at first he just said some work, Xiao Ai's contract was signed, and the work progress over there in Nancheng.

Then he asked, "I heard Sheng Yu is over there, right?"

Shang Miao was stunned, she actually didn't know how to face Xie Xun now, especially now that Xie Xun asked Sheng Yu.

But she still couldn't deceive Xie Xun, so she could only lower her eyelids and answer truthfully, "Well, he has cooperated with Shang Yan."

"So he went looking for you." This sentence is not an interrogative sentence, but an affirmative sentence.

Shang Miao did not deny it, her silence was the best response.

Xie Xun was also silent, and after a while, he spoke again, but his voice sounded tighter: "Some time ago, there was a pervert in the neighborhood where you lived, and you ...... Is it because he's there?"

He was talking about the previous meeting, when he said that he wanted to come over to accompany Shang Miao, but Shang Miao directly refused.

The emotions in Shang Miao's eyes were complicated and turbulent, and she didn't know how to explain to Xie Xun.

To be honest, she is almost thirty years old, and she has long passed that era of innocence. Xie Xun had helped her a lot before, and it was impossible for Shang Miao not to be moved and aware in the slightest.

But......

She turned around and glanced into the room through the window, just in time to see Xiao Sangguo playing with toys with Sheng Yu.

The little girl is already much older than before, although her facial features are still immature, but she is really similar to Sheng Yu, especially when one big and one small sit together, the feeling is even more obvious.

Anyone can see that they are father and daughter.

Sometimes Shang Miao has to admit that the blood relationship is very strong.

Over there, Xie Xun didn't hear her speak, and finally sighed, "I know."

Xie Xun's voice was magnetic and gentle, and he said, "I will respect all your decisions, as long as it is good for you."

Shang Miao listened to his tone, her heart was indescribably uncomfortable and depressed, she took a deep breath: "It's my problem."

"Why do you say that?" Xie Xun asked, "Is it because Sheng Yu pestered you, do you have to feel sorry for me, Shang Miao, you can't think like this, you always feel that everything is your problem."

After the phone call with Xie Xun ended, Shang Miao's mood was not good, she stood in the courtyard, and she still had a feeling of being at a loss.

There was a sound of footsteps behind him, and Sheng Yu said in a deep voice: "Whose phone is it, why are you still in a bad mood after answering it?"

Shang Miao looked back and saw Xie Xun holding Xiao Sangguo, her eyes drooped slightly, she didn't say anything, and turned around and went back to the house directly.

Shang Miao didn't eat lunch, she had no appetite, so she sat at her desk and looked at her work report in a daze.

"What are you thinking, you don't sleep at night?"

In Nancheng, Xie Xun stood on the balcony and looked at the sky outside.

The sky was pitch black, and only the neon above the city lit up some of the colors.

In the past few years, due to environmental pollution, it is basically difficult to see the stars in the city, Song Yu patted Xie Xun on the shoulder: "What are you depressed?"

Xie Xun glanced at him, "No."

Song Yu chuckled, "Okay, if you say no, there will be no one, it's just that I heard Xie Tong say that Auntie's recent illness seems to be recurring again, really?"

Song Wei was one of the few people who had seen Xie Xun's mother, and it was before she was mentally ill.

Song Yu remembered that it was a very beautiful and gentle woman, and Xie Xun's face followed her. It's just that the world is impermanent, and no one thought that such a beautiful woman would eventually become mentally ill and be forcibly sent abroad.

At the mention of his mother, Xie Xun's eyes darkened a little, and his mother had always been an untouchable scar in his heart.

Xie Xun's childhood was actually very happy, although his father was always very busy with work, but he had a mother, a sister and a grandparents, and he always thought that such happiness would continue until he grew up.

It wasn't until later that a woman came to the door with Xie Cheng, knelt in front of her mother crying miserably, and then slammed her head against the wall in front of her mother.

The woman was rescued though

, but the mother was scared out of the disease, and then overnight it seemed that everything had changed.

Xie Cheng was taken back to the Xie family to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, and his mother was diagnosed with mental illness and forcibly sent to a psychiatric hospital.

Xie Xun didn't understand why Xie Tong insisted on asking his mother to go abroad, and later realized that if his mother didn't go out, she might not be able to live now.

He looked up at the sky, it was gray, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

He used to think that Shang Miao was very similar to him, they were both carrying some kind of unspeakable shackles, so when he saw her in trouble, he was always willing to help, as if he was helping himself.

But how can people who are too similar come together?

And himself, does he really still have the freedom to like someone?

Xie Xun lowered his head, and a mocking smile rose at the corner of his mouth.

He has a mentally ill mother who can develop at any time, and the disease is hereditary.

He wasn't supposed to involve anyone.

So even if he knew his feelings for Shang Miao, he never dared to cross the line.

Xie Xun is self-controlled, and the most outrageous thing he has done so far is probably to make cans and cans of lemon candy for Shang Miao.

Sheng Yu would come over for several days in a row, and every time he always carried a toy for Xiao Sangguo in his hand.

He also calculated accurately, there were some in the box, and he must have a small mulberry fruit in his hand, so every time Shang Miao didn't open the door, the little traitor was already looking at it first.

The newly appointed aunt is very good, she is also attentive when she takes care of her children, and Sheng Yu comes over every day, even if Shang Miao is unwilling, she is more relieved and starts to go back to work.

She hadn't been back to work in a while, and Drosa joked, "We're still wondering if you're on your honeymoon and didn't tell us."

Shang Miao: "Instead of going on a honeymoon, you can submit the plan for the meeting on Friday."

She hasn't come to the company these days, but she's been working remotely and has been keeping up with the project.

When he went home, Sheng Yu waited for her downstairs in the company as usual, but Shang Miao was reluctant to take care of him these days, and he was not annoyed, so he followed Shang Miao, holding a bouquet of hypoallergenic flowers in his hand and toys for Xiao Sangguo.

He said, "You can't favor one over the other, and you have what she has."

Shang Miao stopped, and her voice was very weak: "She is your daughter, I have no right to stop you from buying her toys, but you don't have to buy them for me, I don't need to."

Sheng Yu looked at her, "But I want to give it to you."

Shang Miao left directly, and when she passed by a shop with a glass window on her way home, she had no intention of taking a look, but suddenly saw a figure behind them.
