The manager of the secretarial department made an internal call before Liu Heng went to pick up the bean paste: "Mr. Liu, everything is done. The guest rooms and bathrooms have been sorted out. They are all done according to your instructions."
"Okay, thank you."
Liu Heng drove to the kindergarten to pick up bean paste. While waiting at the red light on the road, he made several calls to Wang Yincheng, but he never got through. Liu Heng estimated that Wang Yincheng was very busy at work, so he sent a text message and asked him to call back when he was free.
Bean paste has been immersed in the pink bubbles of big oranges and small oranges all day long. She has been very good all day long, playing games, drawing, and singing in class. Even the teacher found that bean paste was not as prickly as usual today, and the child's face was filled with joy. She is very soft and innocent. She is good-looking to begin with, and her innocent eyes make the teacher extremely happy. She is such a good-looking and well-behaved baby that she likes it best!
Liu Heng went to the kindergarten to pick up Dou Sha. He went there a little early and stood waiting alone at the door. Dou Sha turned his head and looked outside, only to see his father standing alone, but there was no big orange that he was thinking about. Dou Sha stretched his neck and glanced outside several times to confirm that Cheng Zi had not come to pick him up, and felt a little unhappy.
He thought why didn't Big Chengzi come today? Little Orange is still waiting for Big Orange to pick him up!
Liu Heng took Douzha out from the kindergarten and took him to the car. When he was fastening his seat belt, Douzha lay on the seat and asked Liu Heng: "Dad, why didn't Chengzi come?"
Liu Heng turned his head to look at Douzha and rubbed the child's head, wondering if the child really started calling Wang Yincheng Chengzi? Does Wang Yincheng smell like orange? Why didn't he smell it
Liu Hengdao: "I have been very busy with work recently."
Little Dou Sha's head turned, and she suddenly thought that she really shouldn't come to kindergarten today! He should follow Orange and make a little tail! !
Dou Sha immediately said: "I won't come to the kindergarten tomorrow! I want to follow Cheng Zi!"
"No!" Liu Heng said sternly. Children of Dou Sha's age are always more or less emotionally repulsive to school. They can find any reason for not coming to school. Liu Heng has never backed down even half an inch when it comes to children's schooling.
"But Cheng Zi didn't come to pick me up!"
Liu Heng started the car and looked at Douzha in the rearview mirror: "You should be obedient and go to school. Chengzi will definitely come to pick you up tomorrow!"
Douzha didn’t want to do this, “You’re not an orange, how do you know!?”
"Dad just knows, sit down and don't lie down!" Liu Heng said seriously.
Wang Yincheng didn't come to pick up Dou Sha. Dou Sha acted like a child and started to stop talking. No matter what Liu Heng said to him, he didn't say a word. He sat in the back seat and hummed with his neck sideways, just ignoring Liu Heng.
When Liu Heng saw that Dou Sha was silent, he had no choice but to say nothing more and drive back with the child.
Liu Heng opened the door, and Dou Sha quickly pushed the door open and walked in. He took off his shoes and stepped on the floor with his bare feet. He jumped on the sofa and looked at Liu Heng. He silently stared and pursed his lips in protest.
Liu Heng changed his shoes and came in, put down his small school bag, took off his watch, and carried the little boy up to the second floor.
Dou Sha's calves were kicking up and down in the air, thinking that Liu Heng was going to spank him. He kicked his legs and struggled with all his strength but remained silent. The child was so stubborn that even ten cows couldn't hold him back.
Liu Heng carried the bean paste to the door of the guest room on the second floor and put it down. He squatted down, looked at the bean paste and pointed to the door of the guest room and said, "Go in and take a look."
Dou Sha frowned: "If you don't want to look at it, what are you looking at in the utility room?!"
"It's not the utility room!" Liu Heng said as he reached out to turn the door handle and pushed the door open.
Douzha turned around and looked up, and saw that the guest room that originally contained a lot of clutter was now clean, and all the miscellaneous things inside were gone.
Liu Heng carried Douzha into the room. The guest room was clean and bright, with a large balcony facing south and floor-to-ceiling windows. The room looked very spacious and very clean. It was just because all the clutter that had been placed there had now been moved away, and there was nothing in the room. The big bed seemed a bit empty.
Dou Sha watched with wide eyes, looking left and right, and finally turned to Liu Heng suddenly, "Is there someone who wants to live in our house?" After a pause, his head turned quickly, "That person wants to live in our house!?" Dou Sha was horrified! How could he forget that his father had a boyfriend!
Douzha's expression changed rapidly at that moment, from confusion to inquiry to surprise and anger later. He looked at Liu Heng clenching his little fists and saying word by word, "He is not allowed to live in!"
Liu Heng looked at the bean paste as if he were seeing a little male lion. Knowing that his territory was about to be violated, he was extremely angry. He licked his fangs and exposed his nails, which would make his hair and tail stand up!
Liu Heng touched Dou Sha's soft hair: "Who said it was him?"
Douzha: "Isn't it him?"
There was a soft chair in the room. Liu Heng sat on the soft chair holding the bean paste, put the bean paste on his lap, looked down at his son and said, "No, we have separated."
"Ah?" Douzha was surprised.
Liu Heng: "We have separated. This room is not prepared for him, but for your big orange."
Douzha was so shocked that she froze. She sat on Liu Heng's lap and raised her neck to look at him. Her eyes were wide open, and slowly, bit by bit, her expression changed from surprise to excitement.
"Really? It's from oranges? From oranges?!" Douzha's voice became shrill as she spoke, and she wanted to scream. She sat on Liu Heng's lap and jumped up and down, grabbing Liu Heng excitedly. Suit: "It's orange! Orange!"
Liu Heng was so excited when he saw Dou Sha that he could hardly speak. The child's expression was so lively and lively. It was no longer expressionless and cold as before. There was excitement in his eyebrows and eyes. Liu Heng looked at Dou Sha. He looked so excited and excited, and I felt sad and happy at the same time.
He lamented that he could meet Wang Yincheng, and was glad that he also liked Wang Yincheng, the big orange with red bean paste, and the man whose every move made his heart tremble.
Liu Heng held the bean paste in his arms, and the father and son began to whisper about how to let Cheng Zi live in.
Douzha was so excited that she danced and howled, and told Liu Heng that she and Wang Yincheng would also move into the guest room, but Liu Heng was thinking about how to get Wang Yincheng to live in the guest room.
Liu Heng knew that Wang Yincheng was a very principled person in life. When he signed the contract before, he also promised not to have too much contact with Liu Heng in his private life. In fact, he did the same for so long. Wang Yincheng and himself had almost no private dealings. Apart from work, they had almost nothing to talk about.
Wang Yincheng's past was too shocking. He wrapped himself in a safe shell and could look at everything outside with a cold eye, and even be indifferent to some things. Liu Heng thought that if he chased Wang Yincheng like an ordinary man, it would definitely not work. Wang Yincheng's shell was too thick. Not only could he not break it, but it might even hurt him.
But fortunately, they are not complete strangers. They had Douzha before, and Douzha is Liu Heng's biggest plug-in and weapon!
Wang Yincheng felt soft-hearted when the bean paste was so cute. The bean paste pouted and frowned. Wang Yincheng wished he could give his heart and the whole world to his child.
Liu Heng knew that he had no way to cross the boundary between them and successfully chase Wang Yincheng, but he had to find a way. He really couldn't bear to see Wang Yincheng holding bean paste in his arms one day in the future, with other men standing beside him, just like that Thinking about it, Liu Heng felt a deep sense of crisis.
Liu Heng and Dou Sha had previously agreed to bring Wang Yincheng back, but now the father and son were talking to each other about how to get Wang Yincheng to come back and live there.
Dou Sha clenched her little fists, looking as if she was going to die in the execution ground with a righteous air: "Do I want to cry!?"
Liu Heng asked: "Can you cry?"
Dou Sha thought for a while, then his face twisted. He was not a child who liked to cry. He might not cry even if he was beaten, let alone fake crying, so he said, "I can only howl, but the tears won't fall."
Liu Heng knew that Douzha couldn't cry, so he said, "You can tell Chengzi that you will miss him so much that you can't sleep at night."
Dou Sha nodded, but then asked: "Then will he let me live at his place?"
At this moment, Liu Heng didn't realize that he was encouraging his child to lie: "Just say the bed there is uncomfortable." After a pause, "If he wants to change his bed, just say the room is stuffy."
Dou Sha pouted: "What if Cheng Zi changes his house then?"
Liu Heng's eyes flashed, and he said faintly: "Then you can just say that it is better to live here than to change the house. You are used to living here, and you can't sleep in any other house!"
A lightbulb lit up in Douzha's head. He nodded and waggled his tail, his eyes bright: "Okay! Okay!" Then he said, "I want to sleep in the big room with Chengzi!"
Liu Heng touched the child's head: "Yes, but you have to call your big orange home first!"
Douzha bit her lip and nodded fiercely: "I will definitely let Chengzi come back and live here!"
After Liu Heng finished fiddling with his child on how to let his big orange come back to live, it didn't take long for Wang Yincheng's call to come.
As usual, Liu Heng didn't say anything on the phone. He just handed the phone to Douzha, then held the child on his lap, helping the child hold the phone while listening to the conversation between the two.
Douzha looked at Liu Heng, then softened her voice and began to say: "Chengzi Chengzi, why didn't you come to pick me up!?"
The "orange" sound of the bean paste made Liu Heng's heart tremble. He thought how much influence Wang Yincheng had on the bean paste to turn the once unlovable and tough-tempered little boy into the soft and waxy bun he is now
Wang Yincheng heard his child calling him Chengzi on the other end of the phone. He smiled fondly and explained, "Because Chengzi has to work overtime at night? Are you good today?"
Liu Heng was listening, and suddenly thought that the bean paste had also changed Wang Yincheng's life. Wang Yincheng looked at such a cold and distant person, and now he often smiled, and smiled so freely and gently.
Douzha: "You are very well-behaved! Our little teacher took us to draw shadows today. We used chalk to draw shadows. I drew the shadows of several children. We also sang and painted!" Douzha started talking to her on the phone. Wang Yincheng talked about what he did in kindergarten. Wang Yincheng listened patiently on the other end of the phone from beginning to end, and from time to time he said "I'm so good".
Liu Heng helped Dou Sha hold the earphones, and looked at the scene of Dou Sha and Mommy chatting so warmly on his lap. His heart melted and he felt very good at the same time. He couldn't get in between "mother and son" at all, and he was already very nervous just watching from the side. I'm satisfied, but I still can't help but wish I could say a few words.
While Douzha was chatting, for some reason, he suddenly raised his eyes and glanced at Liu Heng. The father and son had the same mind. Liu Heng nodded, and Douzha started to say to Wang Yincheng on the other end of the phone: "I'm so sleepy. I haven't eaten yet." So sleepy!”
Wang Yincheng: "If you're sleepy, take a shower early and crawl into bed. Chengzi will pick you up tomorrow." Wang Yincheng has fully accepted the name that the bean paste buns have given him.
Dou Sha opened his mouth and pretended to yawn: "I didn't sleep well yesterday! I didn't sleep well."
Wang Yincheng was stunned: "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Douzha quickly nodded wildly: "Yes, yes! I feel so uncomfortable and dizzy. I'm used to sleeping in my crib!"
Liu Heng hugged the bean paste and sighed in his heart. He didn't teach him this. How could he say it so smoothly? Douzha is quite strong when it comes to sleeping. When you take him abroad, you don’t even have to suffer from jet lag. He can just fall asleep with the pillow on his face, and he may not wake up even if there is thunder.
Wang Yincheng didn't expect that the child didn't sleep well when he slept at his place yesterday. He felt guilty and blamed himself for a moment, and said, "Then go to bed early and rest early today. Chengzi will visit you tomorrow."
The bean paste is no longer dry. Although the script does not play out this way, why can we see oranges tomorrow but not today? You can come over today after Cheng Zi gets off work! !
Douzha twisted in Liu Heng's arms and hummed in his throat: "No, no, I want oranges today. I want to see oranges today! And the soap bubbles at home are not orange-flavored. I want orange-flavored soap bubbles." !”
When Wang Yincheng heard that Douzha was acting coquettishly on the other end of the phone, asking for oranges and soap bubbles, he said helplessly: "Sleep well, Chengzi will visit you tomorrow!"
The bean paste exploded. He couldn't act cute in person, but he still knew how to do it over the phone, "No! I want oranges! I just want oranges! I won't eat until oranges come over. If oranges don't come over, I won't eat or sleep! Hmph!" ╭(╯^╰)╮After saying that, he hugged his chest and pouted in a very arrogant manner, and raised his little neck.
Liu Heng saw that it was almost time and it was time for him to play. He picked up the phone and put it to his ear, pretending to be calm and said: "Hello? What did you just say? Is Douzha unhappy?"
Wang Yincheng felt very uncomfortable when he heard that Liu Heng said that Dou Sha was unhappy. He was someone who loved his children even if he was reaching for the stars and the moon. Although he felt that it was not good to go to Liu Heng's place all the time, just like what he said to Li Juan before Yes, he has to stay when the child needs him. Unless one day the child really doesn't need him anymore, he will leave.
Wang Yincheng didn't explain to Liu Hengduo, he just said: "Is it convenient to go to your place? Douzha wants me to go there."
Liu Heng looked down at the bean paste, and the little boy was clinging to his chest, listening with his ears open and his eyes wide open, and even squeezed his mouth at Liu Heng.
"It's convenient, come here." After a pause, "Bring clothes here." With a change of clothes, there is no reason to run away like "go back and get clothes."
"good."
Douzha lay on Liu Heng's chest and listened desperately. When Wang Yincheng said yes on the other end of the phone, he quickly shouted: "There are also orange-flavored soap bubbles!"
Liu Heng patted Dou Sha's little face, smiled silently, and hung up the phone.
After Wang Yincheng returned, he walked around the living room twice with the framed sand painting. He didn't know where to hang it. The sand painting was not big, but it meant too much to Wang Yincheng. He always felt that it would be wrong to hang it anywhere.
Finally, I thought about it and decided to hang it on the wall directly opposite the bedside so that I can see it every day when I wake up.
There were no nails at home, so Wang Yincheng temporarily put the sand painting on the bedside table, turned around, grabbed a change of clothes and an unused bottle of orange-scented shower gel, and left.
When we arrived at Liu Heng's house, the takeout ordered by Liu Heng had just arrived. Douzha stood at the entrance door and looked at Wang Yincheng, and then at the bag in Wang Yincheng's hand.
Liu Heng sat at the table and looked at Wang Yincheng, who was changing his shoes, and then at Xiaodousha, who had his back turned to him. He thought to himself that this kid has become more and more cute recently. If this continues, will he become a baby in a while? Start acting stupid? !
Wang Yincheng changed his shoes and came in. He nodded and greeted Liu Heng. Liu Heng also nodded and stood up to greet Wang Yincheng. It is best to get along with Wang Yincheng so politely like this. Some things must be done step by step and slowly, not in a hurry.
The three of them sat at the table to have dinner together. In order to keep Wang Yincheng, Douzhao began to be soft and glutinous. He refused to eat by himself and was picky about the food. He didn't eat chives, onions, and zucchini. , so thin that you have to help him peel off the skin before eating it.
Liu Heng watched silently, watching Wang Yincheng being particularly patient in helping the little boy prepare food. He did not show any impatience or trouble. He carefully selected the onions and chives for the bean paste. His posture with his eyes lowered was very comfortable and pleasing to the eye. .
It's just that Liu Heng didn't return to the company after taking the bean paste. There were still many things waiting for Liu Heng to deal with at the company. During the meal, the phone calls came one after another. Liu Heng answered several calls, mostly asking for instructions on financial issues. He knew that he had to work overtime today.
Wang Yincheng was still feeding the child. Liu Heng wiped his mouth after finishing the last bite and said to Wang Yincheng: "There is something going on in the company. I don't know what time it will be. Just watch the child."
Wang Yincheng nodded, and Liu Heng said to Douzha: "Go to bed early, you know?" His expression looked serious, but his eyes meant what both father and son understood - keep someone!
After Liu Heng left, Wang Yincheng fed the child without even bothering to eat. He quickly took the bean paste to take a bath. The child didn't sleep well last night and had to go to bed early today.
Dou Sha took off her clothes and got into the bathtub with her butt exposed, and wanted to take a bath with Wang Yincheng again.
Wang Yincheng washed with Dou Sha and put on a fragrant orange-flavored shower gel. Both adults and children were covered in white bubbles. In Dou Sha's eyes, they looked like a big fragrant orange taking a bath with a fragrant little orange.
Wang Yincheng rubbed Dou Sha into foam and washed his crotch and little buttocks. Dou Sha giggled happily and narrowed his eyes. His happy expression was clearly visible.
After the adults and children took a bath and put on their clothes, Wang Yincheng put the child on the bed. Douzha hooked Wang Yincheng's neck to prevent Wang Yincheng from leaving, saying that they would sleep together with the fragrance, so Wang Yincheng held the child half in his arms and coaxed him to sleep.
Bean Sha had just finished taking a bath, her whole body was fragrant and her cheeks were rosy, like a little glutinous rice dumpling curled up in Wang Yincheng's arms.
Douzha rubbed Wang Yincheng's chest and sniffed hard. His mouth was filled with the taste of orange, and he was so happy. However, little Douzha still didn't forget the look in Dad's eyes before he left, so he lay in Wang Yincheng's arms and said, "Orange, orange, where are you?" What should I do if I can’t sleep in the bed?”
Wang Yincheng held the child in his arms. This was also a question he struggled with. He never thought about the child's recognition of the bed: "Can I sleep in another bed?"
Dou Sha immediately shook his head and said more decisively than what Liu Heng taught him a few hours ago: "You can't sleep! I can only sleep in my own little bed."
Wang Yincheng thought that he couldn't move Douzha's bed to his place, so he had to say: "That Douzha can only sleep at home."
Douzha started to wag her tail: "Then Chengzi will also sleep at home from now on, and sleep with me."
Wang Yincheng: "Chengzi has work to do. I'll try to pick you up from school in the future, okay?"
Dou Sha was unhappy and pouted: "You can sleep here and work, can you live with me?"
Wang Yincheng looked at Douzha and didn't know what to say. He didn't know how Liu Heng explained their relationship, but obviously if he moved in, he would really violate the contract and trespass into Liu Heng's life. But Dou Sha was so looking forward to sleeping with him and living together, and Wang Yincheng couldn't bear to refuse.
It seemed that he had never encountered anything in his life that made him so hesitant. Before, he had always been very clear about what he wanted and what he didn't want. He knew where the line in his heart was and what he couldn't touch. But Dou Sha was different. Wang Yincheng had no way to put his reason and inner principles on Dou Sha and the issue of Dou Sha.
Being soft-hearted, hesitant, and constantly giving in... Wang Yincheng almost never allowed himself to have such a mentality. Now that he was facing Dou Sha, it was all over.
Liu Heng returned to the company. As soon as he entered the Huarong International building, he went straight to the conference room and held two meetings. Three minutes apart, one group of people left and another group of people came in. Only Liu Heng and the manager of the secretarial department kept talking. Sitting still.
After the meeting, Liu Heng still didn't leave, and the secretary manager also stayed. "The Chinese medicine cooperation project with G University has been completed. The candidates recommended by them have been confirmed. There are no problems with the project. The additional project funds we previously added have also been completed." Rowed through."
Liu Heng: "Has the candidate we recommended here been decided?"
The secretary manager nodded: "G University passed it, saying there are no problems, and the personnel are confirmed." Liu Heng nodded, and the manager continued: "All the processes for this joint project with foreign countries have been finalized."
Liu Heng: "Did the person you recommended refuse?"
Secretary manager: "No, I agreed as soon as I got the call. I didn't refuse. After all, few people would refuse such a big project. It's a matter of fame and fortune."
Liu Heng nodded and signaled that the manager had nothing to do and left first. The secretary manager left. Liu Heng sat alone in the large conference room with a notebook in front of the table. He opened his private mailbox and clicked on Wang Yincheng's surrogacy information attachment.
He knew before that Zhou Yian would not refuse, so how could a person who knew what he wanted and must seize it rationally let go of such a great opportunity
Six years ago, she gave up her relationship and went abroad to pursue her future. In fact, many other people would have made this choice. Zhou Yi'an's choice back then was understandable, but the way he did it was too chilling. He broke up without saying a word, so he simply went abroad and cut off all contact.
What happened next was astonishingly absurd.
How do you weigh your choice when you can only choose between love and bread? Most rational people give up love and pursue bread, because poverty will not trample on love, but poverty will destroy love.
Zhou Yi'an probably still likes Wang Yincheng, otherwise he wouldn't have made that phone call to question himself, but liking is useless and questioning is even more pale. There is no need to explain to Zhou Yi'an what Liu Heng wants to do, they have already After breaking up, no matter who was the one who mentioned the breakup, he had no intention of giving up Wang Yincheng to anyone else.
Wang Yincheng, a person who understands so well, would not want to have anything to do with Zhou Yian. If Zhou Yian has a good future, he will still run away. Liu Heng does not feel that what he has done is too excessive or despicable.
He just provided a condition. The choice was entirely in Zhou Yian's hands. He could choose not to go, but he didn't.
Liu Heng closed his mailbox, closed his laptop and stood up. He thought what would he do if Zhou Yian chose not to go
He raised his lips and glanced out the window, secretly saying, there is no if, Zhou Yian's if no longer exists, he has already made his choice.
It was already very late when Liu Heng went back at night, close to midnight. When he opened the door and entered the entrance hall, he found that the floor lamp was on and Wang Yincheng was sitting on the sofa.
Liu Heng was stunned for a moment while changing his shoes and looked at Wang Yincheng. Wang Yincheng stood up and looked at Liu Heng very seriously.
Liu Heng changed his shoes and came in, pulled up his collar, and his heart suddenly jumped a few times. He intuitively felt that Wang Yincheng wanted to talk to him about staying.
Several floor lamps in the hall were on. Liu Heng and Wang Yincheng sat face to face on the sofa. Their faces were not very clear in each other's eyes, but this time there was not much silence between them.
Wang Yincheng said: "Dousha told me today that he is not used to sleeping in my place and cannot sleep on the bed."
Liu Heng nodded: "He always recognizes the bed." He slept worse than a pig.
Wang Yincheng: "I have no choice but to follow my own ideas when it comes to the child. After all, you are the child's father."
Liu Heng: "Say."
Wang Yincheng: "Today Douzha told me that he hopes I will stay, but we have negotiated before and will not affect each other in our private lives."
Liu Heng: "Did Douzha say that?" That's what I taught him.
Wang Yincheng nodded: "Yes."
Liu Heng: "You can tell me what you think."
Wang Yincheng said bluntly: "The child definitely doesn't know our relationship. His requests are all based on the perspective of a family, but obviously we are not. He wants me to stay, but if I stay, it will affect your normal private life. "
After Wang Yincheng finished speaking, he looked at Liu Heng. Liu Heng looked at him and looked at the coffee table with his eyes lowered. He seemed to be thinking for half a minute, then raised his eyes and said, "It won't affect you. Just stay here."
"?" Wang Yincheng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, the surprise in his eyes was very obvious: "It won't affect it?"
Liu Heng sat on the back of the sofa and looked at Wang Yincheng: "Children are not sensible, but you and I are adults, right? Douzha wants to have a family, so give him a family. A family of three is what a child desires. Hope looks like he needs a complete family, and he likes you very much, very much, and I can't let him down."
Wang Yincheng looked at Liu Heng and secretly marveled. Liu Heng had been taking care of the children alone. The family did not hire a nanny to take care of the children. Liu Heng did it himself. He used to feel that Liu Heng had sacrificed a lot for his children, but he didn't think about it. However, Liu Heng actually regressed on this matter again.
At the same time, Liu Heng's words "a family of three" also made Wang Yincheng's heart tremble. His originally rational and calm state of mind seemed to be suddenly broken by something, and something suddenly sprouted in his heart.
"A family of three is what a child hopes for"
Wang Yincheng's heart seemed to be grabbed by something, and various inexplicable emotions spread across his limbs. Something was rushing through his mind, and finally a faint prototype was left behind - "a family of three" .
