Lu Hengda was sitting on the sofa in Liu Heng's office, the air conditioner was fully turned on, and the tea was boiling on the tea table and steaming out.
Lu Hengda almost burst out laughing after listening to Liu Heng's story. His hand holding the small tea cup was unsteady, and the tea spilled out and splashed on his fingers. Lu Hengda put the small teacup back on the tea table, laughing so hard that he couldn't breathe. He leaned on the sofa and looked at Liu Heng, whose face was darkened, and said, "He didn't agree? Rejected? You encouraged your son to act coquettishly and... Being cute and lying, he actually refused in the end? Can I laugh for ten minutes?... Hahahaha... "
Liu Heng sat opposite Lu Hengda, his face was five points colder than before, his air pressure was extremely low, and there was a thin layer of anger hidden under his eyes.
After Liu Heng and Wang Yincheng sat down to talk last night, Wang Yincheng refused, and he refused quite simply.
Wang Yincheng said that if Dou Sha really felt that the bed could not sleep with him, he could come over every night to accompany Dou Sha, but he would not live here. After all, this was Liu Heng's house. Liu Heng had his own private space and private life. He would not I can't get involved too much.
Liu Heng was very irritable after listening to Wang Yincheng's speech last night! If the light hadn't been too dark, Wang Yincheng would have noticed Liu Heng's dark face.
Liu Heng originally thought that being cute with bean paste was unprofessional, but he was smarter and more coquettish. However, what he said did not go too far, nor did anyone think there was anything wrong. He focused all his attention on the child. , just saying that everything is for the sake of the children.
So when Wang Yincheng refused so simply, Liu Heng really wanted to open Wang Yincheng's head and see what he was thinking! ? But what’s more is a sense of powerlessness and anxiety.
Both parties were doing it for the sake of their children, and they had signed relevant contracts before. Wang Yincheng only wanted to stay with Dou Sha and did not want to have anything to do with Liu Heng, so Wang Yincheng rejected him. From his point of view, it was actually reasonable!
Liu Heng looked at Lu Hengda, who was laughing so hard, and asked, "Is it so funny?"
Lu Hengda nodded: "Nonsense!" When he thought that Liu Heng, such a shrewd man, even called his own son to chase a man, but the adults and children resorted to tricks, and finally turned into scum with only five combat abilities in front of Wang Yincheng, Lu Hengda thought that scene was so joyful!
Lu Hengda suddenly wanted to meet Wang Yincheng. He wanted to meet the surrogate husband back then. What kind of magical person was he? ! !
Liu Heng drank tea coldly, without even looking at Lu Hengda. Lu Hengda finally laughed enough, sat up straight, and said, "He refused? Oops, I stopped laughing, but you are really good at chasing people. Not so good, you were called Mr. Liu after all, but you, the boss, can't handle the editor-in-chief of a newspaper!? If word gets out, you'll be laughed out of your face, okay?"
Liu Heng looked at Lu Hengda: "Have you laughed enough? Laughed enough, get out!" He stopped boiling water on the tea table.
Lu Hengda: "No, no, didn't you just ask me what to do when you called me here? Didn't I just laugh twice more? How stingy! Okay, okay, come on, let me analyze it for you!"
Liu Heng and Lu Hengda sat face to face. Lu Hengda thought about what Liu Heng told him, sat up straight and said, "Where is the contract you signed before? Is it still there?"
Liu Heng: "In the shredder."
Lu Hengda knew what Liu Heng was thinking about Wang Yincheng, and was not surprised when he heard that the contract had been put into the shredder. He continued: "Your method of chasing people is really clumsy. You see, Wang Yincheng lived before he became an adult. It's quite tragic. It's okay to have a bad relationship as an adult, but in the end, someone forced you to become a surrogate mother. A man like him must have his own way of doing things, and he always has his own principles and bottom lines when doing things. Obviously, What you and Douzha did last night touched that bottom line."
Lu Hengda continued: "Dou Sha is his darling, no matter what happens, you are different! You were the one who sought surrogacy back then, and you are Dou Sha's father. To put it nicely, he has to be grateful to you for letting him see the child. , to put it mildly, if it hadn’t been for you back then, he wouldn’t have been so miserable!”
Lu Hengda's words struck home in Liu Heng's heart. Lu Hengda was right. On the surface, he and Wang Yincheng were on the same front, but in fact they were on opposite sides from the very beginning.
Lu Hengda: "What you did last night was really mindless! You shouldn't have mentioned something like 'a family of three'. By saying this, didn't you mean to tell him that your private lives will be involved in the future?" ? You are really stupid! If I were you, I would have told him very sensibly last night that it was okay to live in, but the terms of the contract would remain the same! Do you know what 'snatching the snake in the dark' means? That's what you do!"
Liu Heng understood what Lu Hengda meant and knew that he was indeed impulsive yesterday.
Lu Hengda: "Are you chasing your wife? Of course sincerity and heart are the most important, but these days, if you don't use some tricks, the wife you catch may be poached! So, you have to be patient, but you can't push too hard. , we must remain calm and act step by step.”
Liu Heng interrupted: "Can you put aside the theory and give some reasonable suggestions on practical operation?"
Lu Hengda leaned forward and smiled playfully: "Okay! For example - the overlord bows hard! Make him surrender under your 'big bang', and he will never be able to do without you in the future! You are not far away from success. !”
Liu Heng looked at Lu Hengda, and Lu Hengda also looked at Liu Heng. Liu Heng stood up and walked to his desk expressionlessly, pressed the internal line on the phone, and said to the secretary on duty today: "Come in and help me see off the guests!"
Lu Hengda: "..."
When Wang Yincheng went to the company the next day, the entire financial section was very serious at the same time. The newspaper was released today. I wonder if there will be any breaking news in the same period that suppressed Liu Heng's interview. Old Liu was very nervous and kept holding the paper back and forth. Water glasses wander around the office.
Finally, he walked into Wang Yincheng's office. After entering, Wang Yincheng raised his eyes, pointed at him, and told him to shut up and not listen to any of his nagging.
Wang Yincheng had no choice but to turn around and walk out again, and ran to the human resources department to ask about the interns. The human resources department said: "There are several students in G University recently. Lao Liu, do you want to pick one?"
Old Liu picked up a resume and looked at it: "You are a junior? Don't we only recruit second-year postgraduate students here for internships?"
Renshi stood up, approached Lao Liu, and raised his hand to cover his mouth: "It does matter."
Old Liu raised his eyebrows in understanding, looked at the boy's photo on his resume, and asked, "Which department?"
Personnel: "Financial Edition!"
When Old Liu heard that the finance page had become bigger, Ye Anning had just left, and now there was another intern using the back door. He was only a junior. If the same trick as last time happened again this time, he was worried that Wang Yincheng would do it. Fried hair.
Lao Liu returned his resume to the human resources department and touched his chin: "Look, if you can reject it, reject it. If you can't reject it, see if you can put it in other departments. Don't put it in the financial section."
HR was tangled and said: "I was told that I would be in the financial section! I didn't get it!" Just as he was talking, the landline phone on his desk rang. HR raised his hand to pick it up, said a few words and hung up, and turned around again. Old Liu said: "Yes! I just said that! They will report it the day after tomorrow!"
Lao Liu couldn't help but rolled his eyes in his heart and silently vomited to his boss... Cao Niniang.
Liu Heng's exclusive interview received a lot of response as soon as it was published as a front-page headline. Huarong International's media and public relations department even called specifically to say that the interview was very well done and the response from the outside world was very good. Thank you to the newspaper for your hard work. I’ll definitely treat you to dinner another day and so on.
Wang Yincheng responded politely. We complimented each other on the phone as if we were doing Tai Chi, and then hung up.
Shao Zhiwen came over and knocked on Wang Yincheng's office door, jumped in and said: "Congratulations to the king! Congratulations to the king!"
Wang Yincheng raised his eyes with a smile in his eyes: "Same joy!"
Shao Zhiwen walked in and sat down directly, leaving the office door open. "By the way, Lao Liu just said that an intern is coming the day after tomorrow."
"Our department?"
Shao Zhiwen: "That's right! If it's not our department, I won't tell you..." He handed the resume in his hand to Wang Yincheng, who took it and glanced at the ID photo on the resume at first glance.
"knew."
After Shao Zhiwen left, Wang Yincheng sat on the office chair and looked at the resume of the junior student. Chen Luofei was a junior student in the Journalism Department of G University. He was a skinny student cadre in the college. He had two internship experiences before, one in a TV station and one in N City. Although I am not very old at the local newspaper office, these two internship experiences are enough.
After Wang Yincheng finished reading, he placed his resume beside his desk and continued working.
When Zhou Yian was blocking Wang Yincheng, Wang Yincheng came out of the newspaper building and went to buy milk tea at a milk tea shop opposite. Zhou Yian happened to be sitting in the milk tea shop waiting.
Wang Yincheng bought milk tea and sat face to face with Zhou Yian. He said directly: "I still have to go to work. If you have anything to say, just tell me. But I hope this is the last time we meet. If there is anything that has not been explained clearly, I will tell it all at once today. clear!"
Zhou Yian looked at Wang Yincheng and smiled slightly, with a slight self-mockery in his eyes: "I know, today is the last time. I have a ticket to go abroad tonight, and there will be no next time."
Wang Yincheng nodded: "You say."
There was a song playing in the store, and Zhou Yian's voice sounded a little erratic and very soft. There was a cup of milk tea in front of his table. He ordered it a few hours ago, but didn't take a sip: "I seem to have never told you. Are you sorry?" Zhou Yian looked at Wang Yincheng, raised his lips and said, "I'm sorry, Yin Cheng, I'm sorry for the past and the present."
Wang Yincheng looked at Zhou Yian and said nothing.
Zhou Yian: "I have always been very selfish. I was poor and miserable in my early years. My mother died and my father was a gambler. I finally got into college and met you. Later, I cut off all contacts in the country in order to study abroad. When I met you Regardless of whether it is directly or indirectly related to me, I cannot shirk responsibility for things like that. So, I’m sorry.”
Wang Yincheng remained silent.
"After I met you after returning to China, I admitted that I was still very attracted to you. I lied to you that I was still single. Even if I broke up with Liu Heng later, I even doubted whether you deliberately approached Liu Heng in order to retaliate against me. "
Wang Yincheng suddenly interrupted him: "If you just say I'm sorry, that's fine. I have to go to work, so I'll leave first." Wang Yincheng stood up as he spoke.
Zhou Yian sat and did not stop Wang Yincheng. He watched Wang Yincheng push open the glass door of the milk tea shop and walk out with milk tea, then walked across the zebra crossing to the other side of the street, and finally disappeared from sight completely.
Zhou Yian raised his hand and wiped his face, his eyes slowly turned red. He didn't know why he came to Wang Yincheng today, but he seemed to feel that he must see Wang Yincheng before leaving. He said a few words.
He suddenly remembered the scene when he said goodbye to Wang Yincheng in the snow when he went abroad. He looked at Wang Yincheng in a down jacket with few salutes and said: "Yin Cheng, I'm leaving, take good care of yourself!"
Wang Yincheng looked at him and nodded, saying: "You too!"
Zhou Yi'an didn't hug Wang Yincheng. He thought that his relationship with Wang Yincheng would end like this in the end. It would be cruel to break up, but he should not say it anymore. He could just cut off contact when he goes abroad in the future, right? ! Zhou Yi'an looked at Wang Yincheng. The two looked at each other for a few seconds, neither of them spoke.
Finally, Zhou Yian spoke, white mist coming out of his lips: "I'm leaving."
Wang Yincheng's eyes suddenly turned red at that time, and he opened his mouth, but still didn't say anything, knowing: "Okay."
Zhou Yian closed his eyes and kept recalling the expression on Wang Yincheng's face in his mind. However, it had been too long and he only remembered that it was winter and he and Wang Yincheng were saying goodbye in school. Wang Yincheng's eyes suddenly turned red at that time. But he couldn't remember the specific expression.
It's been too long, really too long.
Wang Yincheng must have known it at that time, and knew their results! ? After knowing that he went abroad, they wouldn't have any contact, right? Yes, Wang Yincheng has always been such a smart person. He knows his selfishness and narrow-mindedness as well as his ideals and revenge... But since he knows everything clearly, why did he agree to his pursuit back then
Wang Yincheng, Wang Yincheng... Zhou Yi'an raised his lips and laughed at himself again. When he opened his eyes, his eyes were red... He deserves it, he really deserves it!
A person who was such a good person back then gave up on his own, but now that he wants to look back, that person is no longer where he was.
Zhou Yian's flight at night was the same as when he returned to China, with very few salutes, one suitcase and one briefcase.
After sitting down, Zhou Yian kept sitting with his eyes closed. His seat was next to the aisle, and people often walked by him. Even the stewardess came over to say hello, reminding Zhou Yian that it is best not to sleep now, and wait until the plane is stable before resting and holding on for a while. .
Zhou Yian shook his head and said that he was not asleep, but was just taking a short rest. The stewardess nodded and left with a professional smile.
Across the aisle, next to Zhou Yian was a couple. The boy was holding the girl's hand and they were cuddling together. When Zhou Yian turned his head, he could only see the boy's face.
A girl took a seat inside and said, "You really don't regret it? You still have a chance to regret it now! Once the plane takes off, it's impossible for you to jump out of the plane!"
The boy laughed: "What nonsense are you talking about?!"
Girl: "You really don't regret giving up such a good job to accompany me to study in a crappy university abroad?"
"Well, I do regret it!" the boy said seriously.
The girl fell silent, and the boy suddenly laughed and said: "But can I find another job? Where can I find my wife after she flies away!? Okay, okay, I'm tired of your verbosity all the way. Don't wait for a while. Ask me again! Ask me again and I’ll really jump out of the plane!”
The girl hugged the boy's arm and giggled.
Zhou Yian looked away, feeling panicked. He took a deep breath and took out his cell phone from his pocket, intending to send Wang Yincheng one last text message before turning it off.
He edited in the text message box [Yin Cheng, I’m leaving, goodbye, best wishes to you!]But still looking at the screen, deleting the last word one by one, turning off the phone, putting away the phone, and lying back in his seat.
He thought that Wang Yincheng no longer cared about his departure. Who would he say such pale words of blessing to
Goodbye, there is really no need to meet each other again, and there is no need to even miss him. No one will miss him. He lived the pale life he pursued, but he has always been a passing guest of other people's vitality.
No matter what, he is still the selfish and narrow-minded Zhou Yian who is pursuing his future.
Wang Yincheng refused to live in Liu Heng's house, and Douzha Xiaojeyou said that he was hurt and sad. However, when Wang Yincheng said that he would still come to pick him up from school and sleep in the same bed with him at night, Douzha said that this was acceptable!
He doesn’t lack anything anyway! The big orange still brings the little orange, and the orange kisses the whole family!
Wang Yincheng didn't go to pick up Dou Sha in the afternoon because of work. Instead of showing displeasure, Dou Sha was very considerate of Wang Yincheng. Liu Heng felt a little surprised. When did the child change his gender? After asking, he found out that Ye Fei's child had not been having a good life recently. Douzha compared himself with him and felt that he was still very happy, so There are not so many requirements.
Liu Heng looked at Douzhao in the rearview mirror while driving. The room had been cleaned, and the father and son had even made their way through. In the end, Wang Yincheng said the word "no" and all the preliminary preparations were in vain. The little boy He didn't think anything of it, but he was quite depressed.
Liu Heng said while driving: "Have you forgotten what dad told you before? Will you agree if Chengzi doesn't come back to live?"
Douzha sat in the back and said: "But Chengzi said he felt it was inconvenient! And he promised to come and sleep with me at night! He would also make delicious food for me and give me a bath!"
Liu Heng paused for several seconds without making a sound, and finally said in a muffled voice: "What about me?"
"Ah?" Douzha looked at Liu Heng who was driving in front of him with some confusion, "What's wrong with dad?"
"You promised me to bring the orange back together, but now you don't remember it?"
"But Chengzi just doesn't live with us. He still lives every night. Is there anything different?"
Liu Heng was a little frustrated. Dou Sha was just a child after all, so he said: "Cheng Zi is Dou Sha's mother, but what about Dou Sha's father? What should be the relationship between Cheng Zi and Dou Sha's father?"
Douzha quickly replied: "Cheng Zi is Mom, you are dad, dad, Mom and Cheng Zi are together!"
Liu Heng was very satisfied with Douzha's answer and continued to follow the instructions while driving: "But now Chengzi is just Douzha's mother, and Douzha's father and mother are not together."
There was a flash of thunder in Dou Sha's little head, and he suddenly seemed to understand something. He waved his little fist in the air: "Chengzi doesn't like you, right?"
Liu Heng suddenly felt like he was in tears. It was a good genetic inheritance for his son to be smart and communicative, but saying it so bluntly made Liu Heng's heart ache: "Yes!"
Dou Sha opened her mouth slightly. She was surprised at first and her brows were furrowed. But then her mind changed and she quickly realized what she was doing. yes! Didn't Dad and Mommy separate because of bad feelings? It turns out that Cheng Zi doesn’t like his father!
Douzha asked seriously: "Why doesn't Chengzi like Dad? Did Dad do something wrong?!"
Liu Heng drove the car, thinking that the biggest mistake he made was not meeting your big orange back then!
Liu Heng didn't know how to talk to his child at this time, but fortunately, he quickly realized that Dou Sha had promised him not to ask about what happened back then, so he said, "Didn't I promise dad not to ask about what happened in the past?"
Douzha raised her lips and snorted, and said arrogantly: "If you don't ask, don't ask. I don't care if Chengzi doesn't like daddy! Anyway, Chengzi likes Douzha!"
Liu Heng: "..."
Liu Heng sent the bean paste home and then went to the company. The nanny made the food at home today. After a few bites of the bean paste, he stopped eating and sat on the sofa to watch TV and wait for Wang Yincheng to come over and give him a bath.
Liu Heng sat on the edge of the sofa and looked at Dou Sha, and finally put the child on his lap. Dou Sha raised his neck and looked at Liu Heng. Liu Heng said, "Don't you want Cheng Zi to come back?"
Of course, Douzha still hopes that Wang Yincheng will come back, so he nods, "But Chengzi doesn't want to come back?"
"You agreed when he said he wouldn't come back?"
Dou Sha looked at Liu Heng innocently: "But if dad can't do anything, what can I do?"
Liu Heng was stunned. Douzha's childlike words flashed in Liu Heng's mind, and there was a rumble of thunder, which completely woke him up!
yes! He wants to pursue Wang Yincheng, but because there is a bean paste between him and Wang Yincheng, he hopes to use bean paste to trap Wang Yincheng. Wang Yincheng loves children, but he does not love Liu Heng at all. What does it matter if he uses bean paste to tie Wang Yincheng? What to use? ! Wang Yincheng would only see Douzha's cuteness, intelligence and well-behaved character, but only Douzha in his eyes, not Liu Heng at all!
Liu Heng had not left when Wang Yincheng came. Douzha was almost impatient waiting on the sofa. He lay on it and rolled around. The toy gun Transformers was thrown next to him, and he stopped playing after a while.
Liu Heng opened the door for Wang Yincheng and stood at the entrance to watch Wang Yincheng bend down to change his shoes. Douzha jumped over, shouted "Chengzi" and slung his arms around Wang Yincheng's neck.
After Wang Yincheng finished changing his shoes, he straightened up and walked in with Douzha in his arms. He looked at Douzha with a smile: "Are you good in school today?"
"So good!" Douzha nodded and wagged his tail.
Wang Yincheng put the bean paste on the sofa, picked up a few toys that fell next to the sofa and put them on the coffee table. The bean paste stepped on the sofa and stuck to Wang Yincheng, "Take a bath, take a bath!"
Liu Heng came over and said to Dou Sha, "Dad, say a few words to Cheng Zi."
Dou Sha was silent, looked at Liu Heng and then at his big orange, and nodded.
Liu Heng called Wang Yincheng to the balcony, feeling a little irritated, especially when he realized that he shouldn't try to trap Wang Yincheng with bean paste. At this moment, he really wanted to smoke, but he was afraid that Wang Yincheng would hate the smell of smoke.
Wang Yincheng walked to the balcony and looked at Liu Heng. Liu Heng said directly: "You'd better stay here, stay in the guest room, and the bean paste will be with you. There will be no inconvenience."
Wang Yincheng shook his head: "No, although it is convenient, we have promised before that we will not have too much involvement because of the child."
"Don't you think it's impossible that there is no involvement?" Liu Heng asked Wang Yincheng.
Wang Yincheng nodded: "It is indeed impossible to have nothing at all, but you have your life and I have mine. It is unrealistic to completely give up your life for bean paste. Sooner or later, both parties will be disgusted."
"Wang Yincheng!" Liu Heng suddenly looked at Wang Yincheng after he finished speaking, his expression extremely serious. He felt that he couldn't afford to wait anymore!
He couldn't wait patiently for his prey like Lu Hengda did when clubbing. From the first meeting to now, the more times Liu Heng saw Wang Yincheng, the feeling of his heartbeat would only become more obvious. , he spends more and more time thinking about Wang Yincheng. Liu Heng is often lost in thought when working in the company. When he comes back to his senses, his mind is full of Wang Yincheng. Wang Yincheng has a faint smile on his face. Wang Yincheng lowers his head in silence and waits for him quietly. Look!
There is no way to think and pursue rationally. When facing Wang Yincheng, it is not like facing other people, where you can bargain calmly.
If he could pursue Liu Heng calmly, he would definitely choose that method, but now as long as Wang Yincheng stands with him, Liu Heng's mind is full of what to say, how to pursue him, and how to make him happy!
"Wang Yincheng, you can move in, not just because Douzha likes you and relies on you." Liu Heng's muscles all over his body tightened and stiffened. He clenched his fists and finally said: "I like you too!" Liu Heng said the last part. Wang Yincheng kept looking at Wang Yincheng during the few words. Wang Yincheng's expression was calm, except for his brows twitching and showing a little surprise. Everything else was normal.
Liu Heng's palms were slightly sweaty. He didn't understand how Wang Yincheng could be so calm. He didn't believe what he said? Or was it that he had already discovered it because he had acted so obviously before? !
Wang Yincheng and Liu Heng looked directly at each other, "Do you like me?"
Liu Heng nodded, and cold sweat started to form on his back. He intuitively felt that something was wrong with Wang Yincheng's expression and tone, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
"Can you ignore the four years you spent with Zhou Yian?!"
Liu Heng was stunned for a moment and quickly realized that the person he was talking about was himself! Wang Yincheng and Zhou Yian were together for only more than a year!
"You know?" A layer of cold sweat broke out on Liu Heng's back.
"Yes, I know. Zhou Yian happened to meet me at the airport on the day he returned to China. You must be the one who went to pick him up."
Liu Heng looked at Wang Yincheng and didn't know what to say. Wang Yincheng didn't like him at all. He only loved bean paste and had only one bean paste in his heart. At the age of thirty, he confessed his love to the man he liked like a fool in a straightforward manner. Although he was not rejected directly, the result was a thousand times more tragic than the result of rejection!
Wang Yincheng gave Dou Sha a bath at night, and the two of them sat in the bathtub and played with the white bubbles of the shower gel. Dou Sha's whole body and buttocks were covered with shower gel, and his whole body was filled with the sweet smell of big oranges.
The adults and children played around for a while. Wang Yincheng took the bean paste back to the room. Liu Heng had already turned around and returned to the company. Two floor lamps were on in the hall, one of the French windows was opened, and there was a faint smell of tobacco.
Dou Sha was held in Wang Yincheng's arms. He looked downstairs and said, "Dad is gone!"
Wang Yincheng hummed and took the child back to the room.
Big Orange and Little Orange were lying on the bed, with their heads touching each other.
Both of them smelled faintly of orange. Douzha sniffed and put her small hand into a fist on Wang Yincheng's chest. She half-closed her eyes and said in a soft voice: "Big Orange, don't you like daddy?"
Wang Yincheng was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Douzha to ask this question. He touched the child's face and didn't answer.
Douzha continued: "Dad is actually very good. Although he looks fierce and doesn't like to laugh, he is really good! Almost all the classmates in the kindergarten are taken to and from school by their mothers, grandparents, and grandparents. I am the only one who Brought to me by my father. My father is very good. He cooks for me and teaches me how to read. He never lets me learn anything I don’t like. Really! My father is a very good person. He just makes me kneel on the keyboard sometimes and he can type. My butt!" Douzha's voice was soft, and the child fell asleep without realizing it with the pillow on his face, his nose snoring.
Wang Yincheng pulled the quilt for Dou Sha and looked at Dou Sha's sleeping face.
