Chapter 414(1/2)
Following the expressions in these photos, his heart and the hard lines on his face softened as he stared deeply.
These photos one by one represent the past that he was not involved in, the childhood of Jingxuan that he was not involved in.
Since when did his heart become so soft and sensitive? Su Zhengxiao thought, maybe it was because he heard Jingxuan's too precocious and sensible words.
From that moment on, he fully realized how much he owed his children.
The photo album was very thick, and he looked at it carefully. It was not until one o'clock in the morning that Su Zhengxiao went to the bathroom, took a bath, and went to bed.
On the other side, Tang Xiaoran also went to the bathroom to take a shower, walked out, crossed the bed, lifted the quilt, and lay down in it.
Jingxuan was sleeping on his side, with his little face facing hers. There was a faint pink color on his cheeks, which made him look a little warm.
She moved gently and slowly took off his coat and sweater, threw them aside, and covered him with the quilt again.
When she was young, when he was sensible, she had a hard time sleeping separately from him and would not allow herself to sleep with him again.
Because warmth often makes people obsessed and reluctant to leave. She was afraid, very afraid that once she became familiar with his company and his warmth, when one day her arms were suddenly empty, she would feel the heartbreaking pain that hurt her lungs.
How to soothe it?
Therefore, the only way is to isolate. No matter how painful it is, we must separate as soon as possible.
Compared with other children, he sleeps very well. He seldom moves and always sleeps in one position until dawn without worrying about rolling down.
But at this moment, she allowed herself to covet this warmth. Tang Xiaoran took a deep breath, and then hugged him tightly, filling the emptiness in her heart.
This time, she slept soundly, soundly, and in a good mood.
She got up very early and made breakfast. Jingxuan woke up and opened the curtain hanging in front of the window with a small hand. He saw his mother standing busy in the kitchen. He jumped off the bed, put on his slippers, and ran
Past; "Mom, can I help?"
"No, you can wash your face and brush your teeth now, and then prepare to come over for breakfast." She was frying eggs without looking up.
When Jingxuan came back, breakfast had been prepared. The two sat down and were about to eat when the doorbell rang. Tang Xiaoran opened it and it was Su Zhengxiao.
She frowned, an unwelcome look clearly written on her face.
Su Zhengxiao did see clearly and understood, but he didn't care. He walked directly past her into the room and said to Jingxuan, "After breakfast, I will take you to school."
"Where's Uncle Liu?" Jingxuan's mouth was stuffed with eggs, and his voice was unclear.
"I will take you to school from now on. If there is something important, Uncle Liu will go there." He said, he had missed the child's entire childhood. Now that he is eight years old, he must not miss it again.
Jingxuan was startled for a moment, and then he said oh, but his bright black eyes became brighter and brighter, like a pool of spring water.
Tang Xiaoran walked behind, her fingers holding the milk cup trembled slightly, and then she instinctively looked at Jing Xuan.
He lowered his little head and was drinking from the milk glass, but there were whirlpools rising from the corners of his mouth, which were deep and shallow, very beautiful.
She thought that this was a good thing for Jingxuan. After all, Su Zhengxiao was willing to contact Jingxuan and care about her children, and she would no longer worry about her children being bullied.
After breakfast, Jing Xuan carried her schoolbag, and Tang Xiaoran also picked up her bag. She looked at the time and saw that it was already late. She had to go to the company quickly, otherwise she would be late.
Jingxuan blinked; "Mom, won't you send me to school?"
"Mom has work today, it's very important, and she's almost late. Let's do it next time, okay?"
Nodding, Jingxuan has always been well-behaved and sensible; "Then you go together in dad's car. Dad drives fast and mom won't be late."
"The school and mom's company are in opposite directions, so mom won't sit down. Mom will go to work now. She is really going to be late." Tang Xiaoran kept staring at the watch to check the time. Maybe she slept with her baby in her arms last night.
Because of this, she slept a little too sweetly, and then got up late in the morning and had to rush.
"I know, mom, be careful on the road and pay attention to safety."
While waving, Tang Xiaoran quickly walked to the roadside. Her steps were too fast and she almost stumbled and fell to the ground. Fortunately, she managed to hold on. She got into the taxi and waved away.
Su Zhengxiao narrowed her deep eyes and snorted indifferently in her heart. Two days ago, she still looked like she couldn't live without her child. It had only been a few days, and the child was standing in front of her like this. She didn't feel like it.
To be able to move so neatly is so fickle!
When getting off the car, Jingxuan smiled and waved, "Goodbye, Dad, be careful on the road and pay attention to safety."
Nodding, staring at the little face that was 60-70% similar to his own, his heart seemed to be touched, soft and soft, Su Zhengxiao raised his hand, narrowed his eyes, and waved to him.
When he arrived at the office, he was only two minutes late. It wasn't until he sat on the chair that Tang Xiaoran breathed a sigh of relief, stabilized his frantic heartbeat, and took a deep breath.
After all, I haven't been to the company for a long time, so it would be a bit embarrassing to be late.
At this moment, a man's arm came from behind, and a cup of soy milk and bread were placed in front of her. Tang Xiaoran looked up in surprise and saw Liu Genghong.
He raised his lips and smiled lightly; "I saw that you were in a hurry when you came to the company and you must have forgotten to have breakfast. I brought two portions and gave one to you."
Tang Xiaoran was startled, shocked, and quickly shook his head: "Thank you, I came after breakfast at home, I really don't need it."
Liu Genghong winked and said, "I've already bought it. It's impossible to return it. Drink the soy milk and keep the bread for snack. I'm going to work. See you later."
"Hey -" Tang Xiaoran said, but he was no longer around. She rubbed her brows. It would be a pity to throw it away. There was no other way, just drink it.
After drinking a glass of milk in the room in the morning and another glass of soy milk here, she felt that her stomach was completely a water reservoir.
Seeing this, the female colleague next to her walked over with a chuckle and bumped her shoulder lightly: "Liu Genghong is really interested in you!"
Tang Xiaoran shook his head; "You are overthinking it."
"Why am I overthinking it? He makes good coffee, but none of us have the honor to drink it. He won't invite us to dinner, let alone bring us breakfast. What does this mean if it's not interesting to you?
But to be honest, Liu Genghong's appearance is really good. He can be called a grassroots person in our company. Although I don't know his family situation, he still has a car. I think it's pretty good. He is not interested in me. If
If it's interesting to me, I definitely agree." The female colleague said in her ear.
Tang Xiaoran smiled and said nothing. Liu Genghong's true identity was still concealed. If it were revealed, he would probably be more popular in the company.
Seeing that she just smiled and said nothing, the female colleague accepted the offer without saying anything. She just patted her on the shoulder and said, "If you have a good marriage, grab it and don't miss it again."
The deadline was coming soon, and she didn't have much time to spare. She had been working hard to finish the manuscript without even taking a break.
At noon, Liu Genghong came over again and asked her to have dinner with her.
Having ridden in someone else's car and eating their breakfast, the favor should be repaid. She thought about it and said yes, but she had to come and invite him.
Liu Genghong smiled and joked, "Although I have never been in the habit of asking women to treat guests, looking at the scene in front of me, if I didn't agree, I might not even be able to eat, so I happily agreed."
The humorous words made the two of them look at each other and laugh, and the atmosphere suddenly became harmonious and harmonious.
When it was time to get off work, Liu Genghong picked up the car, Tang Xiaoran got in the car and told the location.
It's hard to find in the small streets and alleys of Hong Kong. It took me a while to find it, but it was a cross-bridge rice noodle shop.
Liu Genghong was still lingering at the door, and Tang Xiaoran turned around: "If you don't want to eat, then let's change to something else. I only focused on my own preferences and forgot to ask you."
Liu Genghong waved his hand, walked in, and sat down. The store was small but very clean.
Tang Xiaoran often comes to this restaurant to eat. There are many things that can be added to the rice noodles. She ordered ham sausage, coriander, and meatballs.
The landlady came over and asked if he wanted a big bowl or a small bowl. Tang Xiaoran asked Liu Genghong first, he wanted a small bowl, and she said one big and one small.
It was cooked quickly, and the proprietress came over with a smile on her face, carrying the casserole, and was about to put the big casserole in front of Liu Genghong, but Tang Xiaoran stretched out her hand to stop her, "The big bowl belongs to me, and he has the small bowl."
Usually, small men are like big bowls and women are like small bowls. But when it comes to her, it's just the opposite.
Seeing the slightly surprised expressions on the two people's faces, Tang Xiaoran did not feel embarrassed or embarrassed, and said naturally, "I like the cross-bridge rice noodles here the most. I can't get enough of the small bowl."
The landlady was obviously pleased, and she smiled so much that she narrowed her eyes. Liu Genghong had a brisk smile on his lips. It was rare to see such an unpretentious woman.
Liu Genghong tasted it and found that it tasted really good and the soup was delicious. Tang Xiaoran smiled and joked, now do you regret asking for a small bowl?
Spreading his hands helplessly, Liu Genghong said that he really regretted it. I never thought that the taste here was really good.
While he was eating, Tang Xiaoran's cell phone rang again. It was Jingxuan. He said that he was in front of the door right now. He was very hungry and wanted to eat.
As soon as she heard this, she became a little anxious, and she couldn't help but speed up her eating movements.
Liu Genghong naturally noticed it and said, "Don't worry, I'll take you back after eating. Eat slowly."
Tang Xiaoran smiled and asked the boss to bring another portion, but pack it separately and don't cook it. She was afraid that the rice noodles would become soaked and swollen when she brought them back.
"Bring it to whom?" Liu Genghong just said it naturally.
"My son." She told the truth without hiding anything.
Hearing this, Liu Genghong opened his eyes slightly in surprise: "Son, your biological son?"
"Yes, my biological son, the child I got married when I was 22 years old. My son is eight years old this year, but his father and I have divorced, and he follows his father." Tang Xiaoran has never concealed anything from others, she said these words
The wind is light and the clouds are light.
Liu Genghong closed his eyes; "Sorry, I seem to have asked something I shouldn't have asked."
For women, this kind of topic has always been relatively hidden, private, and even slightly hurtful. It is often taboo to mention it.
"It doesn't matter. These are undeniable facts. No matter who asks me, I will answer this way. I don't think this is something that shouldn't be asked." She said frankly and neatly.
Liu Genghong really admires women with this kind of personality.
After eating without stopping, Tang Xiaoran paid the bill, took the rice noodles, and got into Liu Genghong's car; "I'm sorry that I couldn't make you enjoy your meal tonight. I will treat you again next time."
"Okay, I'm happy to eat soft rice again." Liu Genghong joked.
The car stopped downstairs. It still felt rude to drive away the guests like this, so she suggested, "Would you like to go upstairs and have a glass of water?"
Liu Genghong agreed, and the two of them walked up the stairs, but in addition to Jingxuan, they saw Su Zhengxiao at the door of the room.
