The man said calmly, unable to feel any emotion, "What's the matter?"
"It's... your mother, and what happened when you were a child."
"Are you interested in this?"
"Well... I want to get to know you a little better."
He smiled lightly, "Did you learn anything?"
"Would you be angry if I talked to you about your mother?"
"What is there to be angry about about my mother?"
The woman's soft voice sounded very close to his ear, "No... but everyone has a past that they don't want to mention. If you don't want to mention it, I won't ask."
Mo Shiqian said softly, "That's not a past that cannot be mentioned, it's just an ordinary past."
"Do you still remember everything about your mother clearly?"
"It was so young that most of it was forgotten."
"Then do you think... her life was ruined by infatuation?"
The man was carrying her on his back, his steps were not fast, but he was steady step by step.
After a long time, a thin layer of coolness covered his low and indifferent voice, "Her life could have been full of flowers. That man abandoned her. I'm sorry for her, but she never had no choice. One wrong step, and then every step. It's all wrong. The so-called beauty's fate is not hers in the first place, it's the dead end she walked out on her own."
"I couldn't keep that man, so I wanted to keep that man's child, which indirectly led to my grandfather's death. He was obviously in poor health and couldn't afford to take care of the child while making money to support the family, but he refused to compromise even if he liked her and was willing to accept it. When the man of her child appeared, she refused to accept it. She carried it by herself until she could no longer carry it. She passed away and threw this burden to her sister, ruining her own life and delaying her sister's life."
He mocked lightly and coolly, "If you can't protect yourself sincerely, then you are stupid, not to mention hurting the people around you."
Chi Huan asked in a low voice, "Do you blame her?"
After a moment of silence, the man smiled faintly, "Grandpa and aunt should blame her, but when she was alive, she gave everything she had to give me the best. As a mother, she had no fault except for passing away too early... But what qualifications do I have?" Blame her."
Chi Huan murmured, "Don't you blame her..."? She thought he was strange, even resentful.
"Well, she was beautiful and gentle when she was alive. I loved her."
Chi Huan lay on the man's shoulder, and her whole body was shaken. Even her pupils suddenly expanded a bit. For a few seconds, she even suspected that she was hallucinating.
like.
She suddenly understood what his cold mocking was mocking.
She hates that iron cannot become steel, but she cannot blame her mother, so she can only blame love itself.
Even if he actually knows that love is sinless.
But there is always resentment in my heart.
Or perhaps, he was ignorant when he was young, leaving only the most intuitive feelings and conclusions. Even if it is a paradox, this paradox is rooted in his heart.
The woman's soft face pressed against the man's.
"Your mother insisted on giving birth to you, maybe not for that man... maybe just for you."
He didn't speak.
"Mo Shiqian."
"Um?"
The ancient city at night was quiet and lively, but her voice was soft and clear, "I will also make you fall in love with me."
The tall and tall man is too handsome, and he is carrying his girlfriend on his back. He has a high rate of turning heads among the tourists coming and going.
Chi Huan didn't feel any uneasiness or nervousness in his heart, he just felt that the time was stretched extremely long.
One minute, two minutes, or three minutes.
Only about twenty seconds actually.
"good."
The woman's red lips curved into a smile, and she lowered her head and kissed him on the cheek.
After walking silently for a while, Chi Huan still asked hesitantly, "Why did you agree... to be the CEO of Clod-Summer?"
Mo Shiqian sneered, "Why not? He made a condition that made me excited. Money and power are never too much."
Chi Huan looked at his tall nose and naturally understood what he meant.
That's his biological father, you and I know that, but so what.
Love and hate are both expressions of family affection, and he has none of them, so he doesn't bother to hate, only indifference.
Indifference is a stranger.
"Then why don't you take your parents and your sister to Lancheng and live with you? Or buy them a house and let them move there."
The man replied calmly, "I mentioned it a few years ago. My mother said that her traditional Chinese medicine and pharmacy operation here is very good, and my father's legs are not good. The winter here is short and the summer is not too hot. It is very comfortable. , As for Xixi, she wants to go to college in Kaolan City, and I will buy her a small apartment near her school."
"It's great to be your sister."
"Wouldn't it be nice to be my woman?"
Chi Huan kissed his ear and said, "I find that you are quite stingy and childish sometimes."
After a moment of silence, he said calmly, "Aren't you eager to like me?"
"Look at you, you are so stingy and childish."
Mo Shiqian, “…”
"Are you tired? It seems like you have been walking for a long time."
"Well, tired."
"Then let me down."
After walking for a long time, the lights in front of the Mu family's house were no longer visible.
"If I let you down halfway, wouldn't I have to carry you all this way for nothing?"
Chi Huan, "..."
He said that this was the longest street in the entire ancient city. Chi Huan didn't know if it was true, but it was indeed very long, with a pool at the end.
… …
When the two returned to Mu's house, a pair of uninvited guests were waiting for them.
Seeing them walking in hand in hand, the middle-aged woman among them suddenly stood up.
Chi Huan squinted her eyes, and she could tell at a glance that the other party was not friendly. She curved her lips and smiled at Mrs. Mu, "Auntie, are there any guests at home?"
The woman glanced sideways at Chi Huan and said, "This must be the female star your family Shi Qian hired, the daughter of the corrupt official named Chi Huan."
Mo Shiqian frowned, and his gentle expression turned cold silently. Just as he was about to speak, the woman beside him spoke first, with a smile in her soft voice, "I am a female star. Your name is Chi Huan, and you are indeed the daughter of a corrupt official, but I see you are quite old. Where have you ever seen a man bring his adopted woman home to see his parents?"
The woman was used to being mean and had been prepared to attack aggressively, but she didn't expect to hit a snag when she came up.
Her expression changed, and then she said, "An actor is just an actor, and he has no education at all. If my daughter dared to talk to her elders like this, I would have slapped her hard."
