Li Mai was busy for another day, after the meeting, unified his thoughts, and then went to the steel city to inspect it, it was already dark.

This time, he didn't forget to go home for dinner.

After refusing several meals, he drove home.

There was no change at home, Zhang Xiaoyu heard the doorbell as always, and came over to help him carry things, and Haohao and the big cat also threw themselves into his arms as always. The meals and everything were all prepared, and the family of three added a little tiger and had dinner with laughter.

After eating, Hao Hao obediently went back to his room to do his homework, and the big cat accompanied him in. Since having a big cat, Haohao's life has been a lot more fun, and Zhang Xiaoyu can also free up some hands and feet to do his own things. Surprisingly, the big cats hardly need to be cared for.

Zhang Xiaoyu simply taught a few times, and the big cat knew how to urinate and run to the sand outside the yard to solve it, and knew to go back to his house when he slew. I also wake up from time to time at night and patrol around the yard a few times.

When Hao Hao was doing his homework, the big cat sat on the floor and played with Hao Hao's toys, lightly and never making trouble.

Li Mai came out of the shower, Zhang Xiaoyu also cleaned up the dining table, poured a glass of wine relatively rarely, and sat on the balcony and drank it slowly.

Li Mai chuckled in her heart, dried her hair, walked over and sat down opposite her, looked at Zhang Xiaoyu's side face, then poured herself a glass of wine, picked it up and drank some.

The night sky is full of stars, and below is the city that is brightly lit. The sea breeze blows easily, bringing with it the coolness of the night. In the distance, inside the harbor, the ships were lit up, occasionally glittering. On the pier, a few searchlights hit the night sky, and faint clouds can be seen as you pass by.

Li Mai and Zhang Xiaoyu just sat like that, neither of them spoke, and their eyes were cast into the distance.

I don't know how long it took, Zhang Xiaoyu slowly turned his face and put the wine glass on the table. Li Mai hurriedly turned around, sat down, and looked at Zhang Xiaoyu.

"Xiaoyu, today's incident is a misunderstanding, from the moment you saw my car at the gate of the sea, every qiē is a misunderstanding, it is my driver......"

Zhang Xiaoyu shook his head slightly and smiled faintly, "Don't say it, I believe in you." ”

Li Mai's eyes widened suddenly, he was short of breath with excitement, and his heart was moved, "Thank you for your trust." ”

"Li Mai, let's have a good talk. ”

After a long time, Zhang Xiaoyu seemed to have made up his mind and slowly spoke.

"Okay, just say it. Li Mai straightened his back.

Looking at Li Mai, Zhang Xiaoyu was a little speechless, but when she thought of Zhai Ruonan's painful appearance, she strengthened her determination again.

"Li Mai, it's all fate, right?"

Zhang Xiaoyu slowly spoke, "From the first time I saw you at Xihai Cemetery to the time I saw Haohao, every qiē was amazing. For a moment, I even wondered if your ex-wife could be my long-lost twin sister. ”

Smiling, she paused and looked into the distance, "I've never been in love, but I'm not a little girl who doesn't know how to do things." From the beginning, in order to appease Hao Hao to recognize this mother, in fact, I didn't expect things to develop like this. I'll admit that I'm used to and love this life. Every morning when I get up, a little guy will pop out and hurriedly cook, wash clothes, bathe him, teach him all kinds of knowledge, very tired and satisfied. If you don't hold Haohao's hand when you go out, you will feel empty in your heart. ”

Her gaze moved back and put it on Li Mai's face, this was the first time she looked at Li Mai very bluntly and indifferently, which made Li Mai a little overwhelmed.

Zhang Xiaoyu continued, "I also have to admit it to you. Because of Haohao's relationship, everyone in the school thinks I'm your wife. It is also because of Hao Hao that I have the opportunity to get to know you better. Over time, I found myself liking you. So I slowly had an illusion that you are really my husband, and Hao Hao is really my child. ”

With a faint smile again, Zhang Xiaoyu said, "But these are false appearances, and they are a situation formed by mistakes." After all, I have no blood relationship with you and Haohao, and there is no substantive relationship. ”

At this moment, Li Mai's mind was already messed up. From Zhang Xiaoyu's straightforward expression of his thoughts, Li Mai was shocked and excited. He thought that he didn't have the courage to pierce the layer of paper between each other, and Zhang Xiaoyu came to do it.

But, slowly stopping, he felt that something was wrong. Whether it's the expression or the words, it's not right.

Raised and said, Li Mai shook it and said in a deep voice, "Xiaoyu, I'm a little confused, what do you want to express?"

Zhang Xiaoyu didn't answer, but stared at Li Mai's eyes and asked, "There is a question I have been in my heart for a long time, what do you think of me?"

is just such a question, which contains all Zhang Xiaoyu's feelings and feelings in the past three months--what do you think of me?

"Girlfriend, friend, maid, wife. Zhang Xiaoyu smiled softly, "I don't know what I am." ”

Li Mai felt guilty in his heart, and he took it for granted, so he took it for granted, thus ignoring Zhang Xiaoyu's feelings. Or rather, he felt something, but didn't pay attention to it.

It seems that tonight is the time for a showdown.

Picking up the wine glass, Li Mai drank all the wine inside and wiped his mouth.

"Xiaoyu, I like you very much, I want to live with you, just like this for this time, a family of three lives happily. Li Mai said in a calm voice.

Zhang Xiaoyu was in a trance for a while, his body shook slightly, and he tried his best to control his feelings.

After relieving the feelings, Li Mai said, "I'm the same, as time goes by, I really treat you as a wife." But I don't think that's a delusion. There are some stages that a person must go through, falling in love, getting married, having children, and married life. For unexpected reasons, you and I skipped the whole process and went straight to life like after marriage. ”

"I don't know what that means to you, maybe it's unfair. You are qualified to have an unforgettable love affair and enjoy the pleasure of being pursued. Li Mai shook his head, "But I can't give you these." I can't treat you like a woman I don't know. From the first time I saw you, I decided that there was no need to fall in love at all, and you didn't need to run in again and again, you were my Li Mai's wife and Haohao's mother. ”

Looking at Zhang Xiaoyu, Li Mai said slowly, "So I've been hesitating, I don't know when to confess to you, and I don't know how to express it." But there is one thing I am very firm and firmly believe that you, Zhang Xiaoyu, are the person I want to find, and you are Haohao's most ideal mother. ”

After Li Mai finished speaking, he exhaled deeply, and his heart suddenly felt extremely relaxed. He had been hiding these words in his heart for a long time, and this time, with just the right atmosphere, he finally mustered up the courage to say them. He knew that Zhang Xiaoyu had been waiting for him to say it, but he had not been able to say it boldly after all.

Sometimes, even he can't figure out what he is worried about.

Zhang Xiaoyu looked at Li Mai's eyes for a while, slowly turned his head, looked at the night harbor in the distance, and asked, "Zhai Xiaoyu, what kind of woman is she?"

Li Mai fell into the memories and looked up at the starry sky, "She is a very quiet woman. Indifferent, elegant. It's hard for anything to make her emotions fluctuate violently, and when I was thundering, she always looked at me so quietly with a smile. She, very nice. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Zhang Xiaoyu, "You, too." I am grateful to have met her and you in my limited life. There will never be another her. ”

Zhang Xiaoyu shook his head, looked at Li Mai, and didn't speak for a long time.

Li Mai stood up suddenly, strode through the living room and into his room, and in a moment, he walked out and came to Zhang Xiaoyu.

Zhang Xiaoyu turned around and looked at him with his head held high, not knowing what he was going to do.

Suddenly, Li Mai knelt down on one knee and took out the hand hidden behind him, and on the palm of his hand was a delicate small box. Li Mai slowly opened the box, and a diamond ring was shining.

"After retiring, I bought this ring with the resettlement money and wanted to wear it on Zhai Xiaoyu's hand, but what I saw was her grave. ”

Li Mai choked up a little, tried his best to control his excitement, and said, "Zhang Xiaoyu, I want to put it on your hand." Please, marry me. ”

Looking at the sparkle in Li Mai's eyes, Zhang Xiaoyu's heart flashed with a burst of happiness that was so strong that she almost fainted, but it was only for a while.

Li Mai watched Zhang Xiaoyu slowly stretch out his hand and reach for the ring, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated. He has already made plans in his heart, Zhang Xiaoyu took the ring, he would gently put it on for her, and then hugged her tightly and kissed her fiercely!

Zhang Xiaoyu took the box and looked at it carefully. The ring is not big, but it must have been exchanged for Li Mai with all his wealth at that time, and it is of great significance.

However, Li Mai saw that Zhang Xiaoyu gently closed the box and put it on the table.

At the moment of "Xiaoyu ......", Li Mai's heart was like a broken glass.

Shaking his head slightly, Zhang Xiaoyu whispered, "Li Mai, you get up and sit down." ”

Li Mai was a little stunned, stood up, and sat down on the chair.

Zhang Xiaoyu pushed the box over, looked away from it, looked at Li Mai, and said, "Before tonight, the things I couldn't be sure about have just come to a conclusion. ”

Li Mai was terrified in his heart, he realized something, but he didn't know what it was.

"It's not me that you love. ”

Zhang Xiaoyu said slowly, "Your feelings for me are a continuation of Zhai Xiaoyu. I don't blame you, because you must be lost in it. Do you understand, because of the many similarities between me and Zhai Xiaoyu, you see Zhai Xiaoyu in me, and your feelings for her are therefore transferred to mine. ”

"You are far from being as invincible to me as you say you are. ”

After speaking, Zhang Xiaoyu stood up, "I have to go to sleep, you should go to bed early, good night." ”

Li Mai lowered his head and stared at the ring box, dumbfounded.

When Zhang Xiaoyu turned around and turned his back to Li Mai, tears finally did not stop and welled up happily......
