Qiao Xi and Lan Shimo have always been in contact. Bai Xiaofan also knew about this, and Qiao Xi did not hide it from him.

Half a year ago, Lan Shimo's legs recovered satisfactorily. Now, he no longer needs crutches to assist him in walking.

Qiao Xi kept her original promise and visited him once in the hospital. After that, the two began to keep in contact intermittently, just in the name of friends.

The relationship between Bai Xiaofan and Lan Shimo is still inappropriate. No matter in the shopping mall or in other aspects.

But, to use an old saying - in the shopping mall, there are no permanent enemies and no permanent friends. They can't be friends, but they can't be lifelong enemies either.

For now, the relationship between Bai Xiaofan and Lan Shimo is more like a river that does not interfere with a well, neither one can touch the other.

Qiao Xi is the only person they both care about.

Although Bai Xiaofan was inappropriate with Lan Shimo, he knew that Lan Shimo would not hurt Qiao Xi. Therefore, he did not stop Qiao Xi from meeting Lan Shimo.

but!

It's just a meeting.

***

Morning, half past eight.

Normally, at this time, Bai Xiaofan would have already gone out and drove back to the company to go to work.

Today, he was particularly lazy, holding his little daughter in his arms and looking at Qiao Xi.

"Husband, aren't you going to work yet?" Qiao Xi cleared the dining table and reminded the man who was still teasing his daughter.

Although Bai Xiaofan is the president of the company, there is no such thing as being late. However, the company has to hold a regular meeting in the morning, and it is not good for him to be absent suddenly, right?

"What? Are you so impatient to let me go?" Bai Xiaofan said in a strange tone. By the way, he hugged Baobao tighter, as if he was afraid that someone would snatch his precious daughter.

Qiao Xi stopped what she was doing and looked at Bai Xiaofan. She smiled lightly with bright eyes and white teeth.

Of course she knew the reason why this man was acting strangely early in the morning.

Every time she had a date with Lan Shimo, he would act like this. It was as if he was afraid that she would never come back after leaving. It was as if she was about to abandon him.

She has explained to him many times that she and Lan Shimo are just friends. Moreover, she chooses the place of each meeting and the time, which should not exceed half an hour.

There is simply nothing to worry about.

But, this man... ugh.

Qiao Xi picked up the dark blue tie hanging on the back of the chair. While tying it on Bai Xiaofan, she said gently: "I'll wait for you to go home tonight. You come back from get off work early."

Hearing this, Bai Xiaofan's tangled handsome eyebrows relaxed a little.

He has always been a man who refuses to take soft and hard advice, but this is not the case for Qiao Xi.

Qiao Xi was gentle to him, but he could throw away any principle.

Do you love too deeply? Maybe.

"Don't see him for too long." Bai Xiaofan said sullenly, wrapping his big hand around Qiao Xi's small hand, reluctant to let go.

"Only half an hour, it won't be too long." Qiao Xi snickered and kissed Master Bai's unhappy handsome face a few times. She said funnyly: "What do you look like? I don't mean to

Leave you. As I said, as long as you hang around me for one day, I will rely on you for the rest of my life."

A few gentle kisses from Qiao Xi made Bai Xiaofan's unhappy mood improve.

He raised his eyebrows, his expression was flying, and he was really handsome. He said with great care: "It's still up to me, you know."

"I know." Qiao Xi had no choice but to agree.

Finally, Qiao Xi finally managed to calm Master Bai's mood and sent him off to work.

She first tidied up the house for a while, then changed the triplets into cute little clothes, and then she also changed into a comfortable dress.

The delicate woman in the mirror has long hair reaching her waist, dark eyes, and white skin. It seems that she is almost the same as when she married Bai Xiaofan, and has not changed much.

But in fact, the years are flowing through my fingers, and several years have passed in a daze.

Qiao Xi never thought that she and Bai Xiaofan would continue hand in hand until today. They would even have children.

She thought that the marriage she had inadvertently formed would be fruitless. Who knew, it would actually blossom and bear fruit?

***

The sky is blue and the sun is just right.

In the park, three or two children were swinging on the swings, and three or two children were sliding on the slide. It was peaceful under the hazy morning light.

Qiao Xi came as promised with her adorable triplets.

Lan Shimo arrived before her - every time, he would arrive earlier than Qiao Xi, and then wait for her alone at the appointed place.

"Am I late?" Qiao Xi looked at her watch. It happened to be the scheduled time and she was not late.

"No, I arrived early." Lan Shimo walked forward.

His walking speed is slower than that of ordinary people, but now he is already very agile.

"Hello, uncle." The triplets rode a three-wheeled bicycle and greeted Lan Shimo politely.

The triplets have met this uncle twice, so he is not too unfamiliar.

"It's really not a pleasant thing to be called uncle by Bai Xiaofan's son." Lan Shimo raised his eyebrows and muttered.

"They are my children too." Qiao Xi picked up her little daughter and let her play by herself.

Bai Baobao is different from her two little brothers. She doesn't like riding a bicycle very much. When she comes to the park, she prefers to build sand.

"Yes, you and Bai Xiaofan's child..." Lan Shimo twitched the corners of his mouth with helpless contradictions.

No matter what, he couldn't hate Qiao Xi's child.

However, these three little devils are Bai Xiaofan's children.

Qiao Xi let the triplets play in the park.

She and Lan Shimo sat on a bench shaded by a big tree, chatting casually while looking at the triplets.

The trees are shady, the breeze is blowing, and the morning sun slants in through the gaps between the leaves.

This scene at this time is both leisurely and freehand, suitable for a short gathering among friends.

Qiao Xi looked at Lan Shimo's much stronger legs and asked him, "Are your legs fully healed?"

"So be it." Lan Shimo said casually. He raised his head, put his hands on the back of the chair, and looked at the big trees and the dappled sunlight. "But, every three months, I have to go back to the hospital for a check-up, which is troublesome."

"It feels good to walk again, right?" Qiao Xi smiled, looking at Bai Baozi and Bai Mantou, they looked really cute riding a small bicycle.

"Yeah. Not bad." After saying that, Lan Shimo paused and called softly: "Qiao Xi."

"Huh?" Qiao Xi turned her head and looked at Lan Shimo. She saw that the sun had dimmed his much tougher face.

Qiao Xi suddenly felt that Lan Shimo seemed to have really matured. He was no longer the old Mr. Lan who was sitting in a wheelchair, sick, and had a weird personality.

Now, his skin is no longer sickly pale, but has a healthy wheat color. His face is more feminine, with more strength.

Well, time is indeed the best tool to sharpen people.

"I recently got a girlfriend." Lan Shi silently stared at Qiao Xi and said something shocking!

Hearing this, Qiao Xi was startled and said in surprise: "Really?"

Lan Shimo looked at Qiao Xi with unblinking eyes, carefully capturing the expression on her face.

Finally, he responded lightly: "Yes."

"Congratulations then. You must treat others well and stop being cynical." Qiao Xi said sincerely.

"That's it?" Lan Shimo raised an eyebrow, his mouth was half hooked, and his whole body exuded a lazy atmosphere.

"Well, that's it." Qiao Xi smiled and nodded solemnly.

She probably understands what Lan Shimo means.

However, his path is his own.

And her path is between her and Bai Xiaofan.

Lan Shimo is a sensible person. Now that things have happened, he no longer has any delusions about Qiao Xi.

He raised his face to face the dappled sunlight, as if he was saying to Qiao Xi, but also as if he were saying to himself - "It won't be long before I forget you, and in the future, I may not ask you, a married woman, to meet again."

."

Qiao Xi nodded quietly and said with a slight smile: "Well, I'm looking forward to that day."

"I'm serious." Lan Shimo said in a more serious tone.

"Go and talk about your love, Mr. Lan, I'm leaving." After that, Qiao Xi stood up and walked towards her triplets. She asked them to wave to Lan Shimo and say goodbye. Then, she led them

Take them home.

Lan Shimo slowly squinted his eyes, looked at Qiao Xi who was gradually walking away, and murmured to himself: "One day, I will let you just become a scenery in my memory."

One day, he will completely let go of this woman.
Chapter completed!
