"It's nothing, what happened last time was actually my fault. I never told Shao Jun that Xu Rongsheng lived with you. He misunderstood." Xu Nian raised his brown water eyes and met his beautiful phoenix eyes. , saw the guilt and worry in his eyes, but raised the corners of his mouth and smiled at him comfortingly, "Don't worry, today's incident happened for a reason, and Shao Jun called me at noon. I'll be back so early." "Really?" The corners of Lu Jingcheng's mouth twitched, and his resolute face relaxed, "That's good. I really don't want any misunderstanding between you and Shao Jun because of these things. .”
"It's okay, you don't have to worry about it. I'll find a chance to tell him about Xu Rongsheng's life with you." Xu Nianyi smiled slightly, and at the same time looked at the tray in his hand, "Let's go downstairs together, I want the bowl Put the chopsticks away."
"Why are you doing this?" Lu Jingcheng was a little puzzled, and subconsciously turned to look at Xu Rongsheng's room, "This should be the work of the nurse."
"The nurse you hired is really good, and he is very attentive in feeding the meals. But after all, he is not Xu Rongsheng's relatives. I saw him staring at me while eating, so I asked the nurse to give me the porridge. The remaining half bowl of porridge was I came to feed."
As Xu Nianyi spoke, he walked towards the spiral staircase at the end of the corridor.
Lu Jingcheng followed Xu Nianyi, his eyes couldn't help but lock on her handsome side face, almost greedily peeking at her soft and beautiful face.
Once upon a time, even such close contact with Xu Nianyi became a luxury. It was something he had never thought of before. But now, not to mention that he has physical contact with Xu Nianyi, but just walking next to her like this, he actually feels overjoyed.
Xu Nianyi looked ahead, his steps didn't stop, he was still thinking about Xu Rongsheng, he didn't notice Lu Jingcheng's gaze, and continued on his own: "I always feel that it is not an option for Xu Rongsheng to live with you. But I really don't have the energy to take care of two people at the same time. I have to continue to bother you to take care of it."
"En." Lu Jingcheng was not fascinated by it, and nodded in a timely manner to respond.
"By the way, how did Xu Rongsheng fall off the bed?" Xu Nianyi suddenly thought of this question. From rushing to Lu Jingcheng's house until now, she has been staying by Xu Rongsheng's side to take care of her, and only now did she find time to ask the reason for the accident.
"There are always photos of you on his bedside table. As long as the weather is good, he will ask the nurse to bring the photos to him. He likes to sit on the balcony with your photos and bask in the sun. During lunch break in the afternoon, He may have accidentally dropped your photo on the floor, turned over to pick it up, but fell off the bed and broke his wrist." Lu Jingcheng followed Xu Nianyi, speaking in a calm and unhurried manner Said, "I was still in the company when this happened. The nurse called me and I rushed back immediately. I called you after Xu Rongsheng was sent to the hospital. The doctor said there was only a slight bone fracture. He is old and osteoporotic, and his physical condition is not good now, so he will break his wrist and he will recover in about three months. Actually, it is not a big deal, but I think... Xu Rongsheng must miss you very much. Will always hold your picture, so I called you to let you come and see him."
"Thank you for being so thoughtful."
While talking, the two had already walked to the kitchen, Xu Nianyi put the tray on the kitchen counter, turned around and thanked Lu Jingcheng softly, his brown eyes were still bright, but there was a faint hint of tiredness at the corners of his eyes; " In fact, I really don't have any family affection for Xu Rongsheng. Every time I visit him, it's just because of pity and sympathy. I know he misses me very much, but in my heart he is not my father. Every time I face him, I feel like a father. It’s like an actor is acting. Frankly speaking, if I take him away now, I may not have the energy to take care of him as hard as you do every day. I will be very tired.”
Her tone of voice was serious and frank: "It's not that I don't care about Xu Rongsheng. I also hope that his health will improve, but my energy is really limited. You can ask someone to take care of Xu Rongsheng, and you are so concerned about his affairs. I am very happy." gratitude."
"Don't always be so polite to me. Since we are friends, we should help each other." After Lu Jingcheng said this, he immediately added, "Don't worry, I will take good care of Xu Rongsheng. It is said that I am his current guardian, and I can take care of him for as long as I want."
"Thank you then..." Xu Nianyi smiled, and was about to say the next few words when she saw Lu Jingcheng's eyebrows raised and her lips pursed in dissatisfaction, so she immediately changed her words, "Then I'll leave it to you. I still have to go upstairs to see Xu Rongsheng, since I'm here, I will stay with him for a while."
"Yeah. I'll go up with you. I just went to the study to get some materials." Lu Jingcheng followed Xu Nianyi closely, and walked towards the spiral wooden stairs without waiting for her answer.
Outside the house, night has completely shrouded it.
The villa area where Lu Jingcheng lives is a two-and-a-half-story European-style building with an attic. There is an open lawn garden under the porch, and iron railings form a square fence along the grassland.
The gate is a flat and clean asphalt road, and a red Cadillac is parked opposite the gate of Lu Jingcheng's house.
The interior of the car was pitch black, with no lights on.
Through the warm light reflected by the street lamps on both sides of the road, one can vaguely see a man sitting in the driver's seat of the carriage. The man is holding the steering wheel with one hand, looking out the window through the black glass with his head tilted, as if he is looking at Lu Jingcheng's house.
after an hour…
Xu Nianyi came out of Lu Jingcheng's house, and drove his own car back to his home.
Yifeng has already had dinner, and is squatting on the floor of the living room, holding his beloved toy in one hand, and carefully touching Corgi's pointed ears with the other hand, observing curiously.
Xu Nianyi smiled in relief, it seems that Yifeng has a good impression of this new family member.
Just about to squat down to talk to Yifeng, Xu Nianyi's cell phone rang suddenly.
It was Shao Jun calling.
"Jun." When he got on the phone, Xu Nianyi called Shao Jun by his nickname affectionately, his brown eyes were extraordinarily bright under the reflection of the crystal lamp, shining with joy.
"Nian Yi." Unlike the usual gentle voice on the phone, this time Shao Jun's voice was a little deep, as clear as before but lifeless.
"What's the matter? Jun? Are you unhappy?" The joy in Xu Nian's eyes faded away as soon as he recognized Shao Jun's voice.
"It's nothing. It's just that I'm a little tired from socializing at the dinner." Shao Jun gave a short answer on the other end of the phone, and then, through the receiver of the phone, Xu Nianyi heard the sound of heavy breathing coming from him.
"Is it because you are not feeling well?" Xu Nianyi was a little worried.
"Nian Yi, have you been out today?" Shao Jun didn't answer her question, but asked another question.
"Yes." Xu Nian nodded, hesitating slightly, "Han Xu came in the afternoon, and I went out to see him off. After that, I went to the supermarket and came back."
"That's right, didn't you go shopping elsewhere?"
"Not anymore." Xu Nianyi said guiltily. Because it was a lie, his voice was much softer than before.
"It's okay, take good care of Yifeng." Before the words finished, Shao Jun hung up the phone.
Xu Nianyi didn't expect Shao Jun to hang up the phone so quickly, the phone was still stuck to his ear and he didn't put it down.
"Mommy, come and see the puppy!"
It was not until Yifeng's milky voice came from behind that Xu Nianyi's thoughts were called back. She immediately put down the phone, turned around and walked to Yifeng's side...
At the same time, in the city center, the busiest and busiest area.
The fashionable and modern restaurant Shuiyunjian is full of customers.
In the luxurious large private room on the third floor, several middle-aged men in suits and leather shoes sat on the oversized round dining table, some with potbellies, or greasy hair and noodles. They all sat at the table and greeted each other, holding wine glasses and exchanging glasses with each other.
There was no one in the corridor outside the large private room, and occasionally a few waiters in black vests walked quickly through the corridor with trays.
Standing by the window, Shao Jun slowly looked away, and threw the phone to Shen Feng who was standing beside him.
"Mr. Shao?" Shen Feng quickly caught the phone, and at the same time looked at Shao Jun puzzled, "Unhappy?"
"It's nothing." Shao Jun glanced at Shen Feng, his dark eyes were abnormally calm, probably because of the light in the corridor, under the reflection of the cold spotlights, his eyes were a little cold.
"Mr. Shao, why don't I ask for you?" Shen Feng asked tentatively, but seeing Shao Jun's gaze became colder, he immediately shut his mouth and dared not speak.
"I wonder when she will tell me the truth. Pretend not to know now."
After Shao Jun ran out this sentence coldly, he walked towards the private room, opened the door, and became an elite talent in the mall again, with a refined and enthusiastic smile on his face, and sat back on the table The guest of honor picked up the wine glass on the table again and greeted the men in front of him.
Even though Shengdi Group is already one of the leading well-known companies in Xiahai City, it is inevitable that they will also socialize and negotiate at the shopping mall's wine table. Talking about business at the wine table is one of the characteristics of China. Shao Jun doesn't like these business entertainment very much, but sometimes it's hard to refuse.
*
three days later.
For some reason, Shao Jun always came home very late these two days.
She always endured sleepiness and waited for Shao Jun to come back, but after he got home, he only had a few brief conversations with her and then went to take a bath and rest.
She also asked insincerely whether she had done something wrong, but no matter how she asked, Shao Jun just told her that she was too tired from work.
Although Shao Jun didn't express it clearly, Xu Nianyi knew why.
Perhaps, Shao Jun knew that he had lied. She is not good at lying.
She endured it for three days and finally couldn't bear it any longer. She didn't even bother to eat lunch, and drove to Shengdi Company with her handbag, intending to explain to Shao Jun that she was not at home that evening...
