This night was destined to be a night of overthinking. Yao Yiyi was lying on the bed, pillowing Ou Qingheng's arm. Although she closed her eyes, her mind was very confused.
Her body moved slightly and she was tossing and turning a little bit.
She opened her eyes and closed them again, and so on, but her mind became more and more clear, and she didn't feel sleepy at all.
Ou Qingheng turned sideways, raised his hand and grabbed the back of Yao Yiyi's head, forcing Yao Yiyi's body to lean against his.
"Can't sleep?" Ou Qingheng whispered.
Yao Yiyi raised her head from his arms and apologized: "Did I wake you up?"
Ou Qingheng opened his eyes and said, "No. If you can't sleep, let's have a chat."
Yao Yiyi smiled and said: "Go to sleep, I have to go to work tomorrow. I just couldn't sleep because I had something on my mind, but since you don't sleep with me, I have figured it all out, so go to sleep quickly."
"You." Ou Qingheng said with a sigh, but his eyes were full of doting, "I always like to carry things alone. Don't forget that I am your man. I have broad shoulders to block it for you. Holding everything.”
Yao Yiyi hugged Ou Qingheng's waist and whispered, "I understand."
"You know, but in the future I still choose to handle things alone. Sometimes I really hope you can rely on me like a little woman, so that I can have a sense of accomplishment." Ou Qingheng sighed, his tone It was full of helplessness: "When I married you, I was very satisfied with your ability to neither cry nor make trouble, and to be able to do everything on your own. It never worried me. But now my mentality has changed, and I hope you can rely on me more. I think Maybe this is the difference between loving and not loving.”
Yao Yiyi's heart was shocked. She didn't expect that Ou Qingheng would have so many emotions.
"sorry."
Ou Qingheng sighed deeply, stroked her forehead, and said, "I don't mean to blame you, I just want you to be willing to rely on me when you are tired, instead of choosing to bear it alone."
"...Okay." After a long silence, Yao Yiyi solemnly promised.
Ou Qingheng kissed her forehead without meaning and lustfully, and said, "Go to sleep."
Buried in Ou Qingheng's arms, Yao Yiyi felt at ease, and she quickly fell asleep. Ou Qingheng looked at her sleeping face, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she hugged her tighter, and was very happy. I fell asleep quickly.
After breakfast the next day, Ou Qingheng kissed Yao Yiyi on the lips and said, "You go to work, and I will take An An to the Ou family's main house. Don't worry, I will handle this matter."
Yao Yiyi hesitated a little: "How about I go with you?"
"No."
"Can you really do this alone?"
"Believe me."
Yao Yiyi could only agree.
The family of three went downstairs, and Yao Yiyi worriedly told An An, "An An, listen to dad and don't make trouble, dad knows? Otherwise mom will be really sad."
An An raised her little head and glanced at Ou Qingheng.
"I know, Mom." An An pursed her lips and responded in a low voice.
"Then mom goes to work, and your parents will take you to the amusement park on Saturday." Yao Yiyi promised.
An An grabbed Yao Yiyi's little finger and said very quietly as if she was afraid that Yao Yiyi would be angry: "Mom, can you call daddy? I haven't seen him for many days and I really miss him."
Yao Yiyi was stunned for a moment. They said that children are very playful and forgetful. She really didn't expect that An An would be so dependent on Xu Chen. If she wasn't her biological child, she would be better than her biological child.
Yao Yiyi raised her head and glanced at Ou Qingheng. Ou Qingheng understood the meaning in her eyes and helped her out: "Son, your godfather has gone on a mission for dad. He will be back in a few days. Dad promises You, when he comes back, I will ask him to take you to the amusement park, just the two of you, let you have a lot of fun, do you think that’s okay?”
"And mom." An An bargained.
Ou Qingheng hugged Yao Yiyi and said, "Your mother is your father's woman, so you can't go. If you are bargaining, your father will never let you see your godfather."
An An looked at Ou Qingheng and finally succumbed to the threat of evil forces and got into the car with his little head hanging down.
Yao Yiyi glanced at him worriedly and said uneasily: "Qingheng, are we too harsh on An An? He is still just a child after all."
"Don't worry. This is a process that both he and I have to go through. I missed two years of his growth. It's reasonable for him not to kiss me. But blood is thicker than water. He will one day treat me This father regards him as a superior hero." Ou Qingheng said confidently.
Yao Yiyi chuckled.
"Qingheng, I really didn't realize that you are quite thick-skinned."
"Can I fall in love with you if I'm not thick?"
“…”
Yao Yiyi felt that she had no words to say.
"You go to work. I'll send An An over. After we talk, we'll go to the company for a project development meeting and there will be no other work. In the evening, I will take you mother and son out to eat at a newly opened restaurant. The food is quite authentic. It should suit your and An An's taste." Ou Qingheng said.
"Then please be careful on the road. I'll leave first."
After Yao Yiyi drove away, Ou Qingheng also drove away.
On the way, An An came to the front seat and said with a small mouth: "Bad guy, I only listen to you because I don't want to make my mother angry and sad. Don't think I like you anymore."
"It just so happens that I have the same idea. We are indeed father and son, and our ideas coincide."
An An held her mouth shut, hummed, and said, "Big bad guy, why don't you like me? Mom said you like me very much."
Ou Qingheng chuckled. This was the first time someone dared to speak to him like this, and this person was his two-year-old son.
Sure enough, it was his seed, enough seed.
"You already hate me, why should I like you? The liking is mutual."
"But I am your son."
"Don't you deny me as your father?"
An An was anxious: "You bad guy, I'm allowed to hate you, but you can't hate me, or I'll tell my mother."
Ou Qingheng said mockingly: "An'an, your mother-in-law chirps like a girl. She specializes in making small reports. She is really not like me, Ou Qingheng."
An An was furious, puffed out her cheeks, and retorted crisply: "I'm a young man, not a girl."
Ou Qingheng had to admire that his son was quite strange. He knew a lot of vocabulary at the age of two. Sometimes he was so smart that people forgot that he was actually only two years old, but he was also willful and thought-provoking. Beat him up.
"If you were a little man, you wouldn't be able to deal with your own grandma, and you would ask me to step in, and even make your mother sad. An'an, I despise you." Ou Qingheng deliberately used provocation.
An An was really excited by him, and she suddenly stood up and said, "I'm not confused, I just hate my grandma saying bad things about my mother, so I don't want to get close to her."
"Then you should get closer to your grandma. As long as you make her happy, she will like your mother."
"real?"
"Of course it's true. I love your mother. Have I ever harmed her?"
An An thought for a while and said in a childish voice: "Then I will believe you for once, but big bad guy, grandma and I are getting better. Will mom be sad to see it?"
"As long as you don't forget your mother, she won't be sad."
An An was relieved.
Ou Qingheng drove to the main house of the Ou family and parked the car.
Ou Qingheng took An An to the main building. Mrs. Ou and Father Ou were already waiting there. After Mr. Ou completely retired from the Ou Group, he had nothing to do and spent a lot of time with Mrs. Ou all day long. , maybe he was too busy when he was young, so when he was not busy with work, he was almost submissive to Mrs. Ou, and was never willing to say anything wrong to her.
"Grandma." When An An saw Mrs. Ou, she ran over on her short legs and called her affectionately.
Mrs. Ou knelt down, and An An jumped directly into her arms, kissing her hard several times on the face. Mrs. Ou was surprised when she kissed her.
Mrs. Ou stupidly let him kiss her.
I have to say that An An coaxing people is like eating honey. Anyway, she coaxed Mrs. Ou into confusion.
"Grandma, An An misses you so much."
Mrs. Ou was absolutely flattered after hearing this.
An An has been back for so long and is not really close to her as a grandma. Even if he was sent here yesterday, he would rather play by himself than stay away from her. She actually felt uncomfortable in her heart, and she was even less happy with Yao Yiyi. , if she hadn't taken the infant An An away on her own initiative, An An wouldn't have treated her like a stranger.
Mrs. Ou was dissatisfied, so she couldn't help but tell Yao Yiyi's fault in front of An An.
"Grandma misses you so much, my dear grandson. Your mouth is so sweet today. Grandma really loves you like this."
"Grandma, An'an is so good to you, do you also want to like my mother?" An'an was unlucky at the time.
The smile on Mrs. Ou's face faded.
She turned to look at Ou Qingheng and said, "Qingheng, aren't you going to work?"
"Mom, I sent An An here today just to talk to you."
"Then come in."
Mrs. Ou took the lead in holding An An and Father Ou in her arms.
Mrs. Ou asked the servant to take An An to play, and then said: "You are here to fight for that woman again, aren't you?"
"Mom, she is the woman I love and your daughter-in-law. I hope you can respect her." Ou Qingheng said with a deep look.
Ou Fu laughed in anger.
"I'm very curious about what kind of magic power Yao Yiyi has that can make you and your son circle around her. When you see him, you can't even listen to my words as a mother. An'an is even more weird. For his mother You already know how to please me, I really don’t know how much she has blown your ears." Mrs. Ou said sarcastically while holding the tea that the servant had just brought.
A flash of helplessness flashed in Ou Qingheng's eyes.
"Mom, I want to talk to you today. Can you please stop saying in front of An An that his mother doesn't want him? An An is young and has not yet formed a sense of right and wrong. If he hears too much, he will take it seriously and subconsciously alienate him. If his mother doesn't tell him, it will leave trauma in his heart. You don't want him to think that he is a child abandoned by his mother, right?" Mrs. Ou sat up straight and looked like she was negotiating.
Mrs. Ou felt somewhat hurt when she saw him like this.
"Qingheng, are you blaming mom?" Mrs. Ou didn't want to get into trouble with her son because of such a thing, but she was still very dissatisfied that Yao Yiyi had such a profound influence on her son, which even affected her. I can't even listen to this mother's words.
Ou Qingheng's repeated bias made Mrs. Ou even more dissatisfied with Yao Yiyi.
In other words, Mrs. Ou is actually jealous of Yao Yiyi and jealous that she can gain all of Ou Qingheng's love and trust.
That's why it is said that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been a problem that has been difficult for Chinese people to solve for thousands of years. If Ou Qingheng, who is caught in the middle, cannot reconcile, he will become a different person inside and out, and will be in a dilemma.
