Encourage breakfast to start today.
Su Han sat at the dining table and drank porridge, trying to hide his sleepiness. Although Su Han used to be busy with work, his work and rest schedule was very regular. He slept less, but he made sure that he had rest time from a certain time every day, so he was always energetic when he got up to work during the day.
After she and Xue Yao made love all night the night before yesterday and took a nap in the office during the day to make up for the sleep, she was in such a situation again today. If she did it, she would lose her sleep, and if she didn't do it, she would also lose her sleep. Su Han was in a dilemma. If she had to choose one, she would definitely choose to do it, at least it would make her feel more comfortable. Now she didn't feel comfortable, and she wasted the time they spent together at night.
What time did she fall asleep yesterday? It seemed to be almost three o'clock. If she wasn't afraid of waking up Xue Yao who was sleeping soundly, she would even want to take a shower.
"You..." Su Han felt that she couldn't go on like this. She put down the spoon she was drinking porridge from and asked Xue Yao who was sitting in front of her, "I think there's a 24-hour gym on the road to your house."
Xue Yao: “Yeah.”
Yes, she has been there, and she goes there often. Women should take good care of themselves, and health is the first priority. Only with a healthy body can you enjoy life and love.
Su Han was stunned by her incoherent answer, and then he said in a roundabout way, "I want to apply for an annual card and exercise after work in the evening."
"That's great." Xue Yao nodded. "I'll help you with it."
"How about you come with me?" Su Han finally got back to the point after many twists and turns. If you are weak, you just need to exercise more. Thirty or forty years old is not that old. What's the point of holding it in all day
"Okay." Xue Yao raised her eyebrows in surprise. She would go to the gym three or four times a week to stretch her muscles, and the time was after sending Su Han home. Didn't Su Han know? Or did she just want her to accompany her
Suppressing her suspicion, Xue Yao picked up a small pile of dried radish from the small plate and put it into Su Han's bowl of porridge. This dried radish was given to her by Xia Yitong. It was said that it was dried in the orphanage director's home. She fried some small shrimps in it, which was very tasty and went well with the porridge.
Su Han, who had already seen the dawn of her future nightlife, was in a good mood. She said goodbye to Xue Yao who had sent her to work downstairs, and walked into the company with a cheerful step. Xiao A, the director of the company's x department, who had just been promoted, walked towards her. Xiao A stepped aside, lowered his head slightly, and greeted her: "Good morning, President Su."
Su Han nodded: "Good morning."
A gust of fragrant wind blew past his nose, and Xiao A came back to his senses. Su Han, with a smile on her lips, had already floated into his office like a butterfly.
For three days in a row, Su Han was like a peacock with its feathers spread out, emitting a strong scent of female hormones from her whole body. If she had not been so majestic and intimidating in the past, countless men and women would have been seduced by her and lost their minds.
Little A touched the goose bumps on her hands because Su Han passed by her too close just now. It was amazing. She felt like spring had come early and she also wanted to find someone to fall in love with.
When Lu Yinbing and Xia Yitong come out publicly, she will go find a partner.
Su Han returned to the office and cleared her mind and started her official work. She wanted to finish today's tasks before leaving get off work on time in the afternoon. She was so immersed in her work that she didn't even have time to reply to the message Xue Yao sent her.
Occasionally pick up the phone to take a look and type a few words: work
At work, talk later.
busy.
…
Su Han stretched out his arms, pressed his back against the wide office chair, stretched himself enough to make himself one meter longer, and looked at the mobile phone on the table. The phone vibrated as if it heard a call.
Xue Yao pressed the answer button.
"Are you off work yet?"
"I'm getting off." Su Han took the coat from the side, shook it, and put it on. He had headphones on his ears. He closed the door and walked out while talking. "Don't come up. I'll be down soon."
"I'm at the elevator..." Su Han used the access card to open the glass door, looked up and saw a familiar figure, then he fell silent and hung up the phone.
Xue Yao walked towards her, stood on tiptoe, and put his arms around her neck.
The elevator arrived just in time with a ding-dong sound. Su Han smiled and bent down to kiss Xue Yao on the face, then half hugged and half embraced her as she entered the elevator, leaving the crowd of onlookers who had gathered near the glass door for various reasons dumbfounded.
Oh my goodness, the person they just saw must be a fake Mr. Xue.
This was the second time that the fake Mr. Xue went to Lu Yinbing and Xia Yitong's house. It had been a long time since the first time. It felt strange to be led home by his spouse to meet his children. Su Han almost ran away when the car started.
"Don't be nervous." Xue Yao patted her hands while driving.
Su Han opened his eyes wide and looked forward. He was just going to see his friend and former artist, her wife and two daughters, why are your hands sweating!
Lu Yinbing and Xia Yitong had already started decorating their home. Lu Yinbing was cooking in the kitchen while Xia Yitong was helping out and occasionally sending messages to communicate with Xue Yao. The two daughters were placed in their strollers, each under the supervision of the confinement nanny while they played on their own.
The doorbell rang at the door. Xia Yitong happened to be in the living room at this time. She rushed over and opened the door as quickly as possible, making an inviting gesture: "Welcome."
Xue Yao came in first and stood on the other side of the door, forming a situation where she and Xia Yitong were facing each other. Su Han wanted to kick Xue Yao and came in with a lot of bags.
There were two large bags of fruit, at least more than ten kilograms, and several high-end packaging bags. After she put the fruit in Xia Yitong's hands, she said, "These are new clothes and toys for the children."
Xia Yitong put her things on the table and on the sofa, and poured a glass of water for each of them: "Teacher Lu is cooking, she will be out soon."
Su Han and Xia Yitong were clearly very familiar with each other, but she always felt a sense of restraint and was uncomfortable everywhere. Xue Yao glanced at her and suggested, "Let's go see the child. Have you never seen him before?"
Su Han said hurriedly: "Yes, yes."
Xia Yitong waved to the confinement nanny and prepared to push both carts over. Su Han had already stood up and walked over, so Xia Yitong naturally followed him.
Su Han said: "I have grown so big without realizing it. I am not as fat as before."
"You've learned to walk now, it's time for you to grow up." Xia Yitong said with a smile, her tone full of pride.
People who have never raised a child would not know whether a child learning to walk at eight months old is a natural talent or not. Anyway, Su Han thought the two children were quite friendly and they were not afraid of strangers. Su Han stretched out a finger towards them and the two of them reached out to grab her finger and made small fists.
Xia Yitong teased the two children, asking them to learn how to call people, and pointed at Xue Yao and said, "This, Grandma Xue. Can you call grandma? Grandma—Grandma—"
The child waved his hands around but couldn't shout out anything. However, he looked at Xue Yao with great enthusiasm, flapping his hands and feet non-stop.
Xue Yao, who was only in her forties and had become a grandmother, was very proud, but Su Han, who was in his thirties, had a bad feeling. Xia Yitong held down Xia Lu's arms and legs that were fluttering up and down, and pointed at Su Han and said, "This is grandpa, Grandpa Su. Grandpa—"
Grandpa Su, who loves being a grandfather even though he doesn’t have any children: “…”
Grandma Xue even picked up Xia Lu, who was extremely enthusiastic towards her, from the stroller, and walked back and forth in the living room while holding him and coaxing him, saying "oh oh oh".
"Grandpa, don't you want to hug me?"
It took Su Han less than a second to accept this strange name, and she calmly turned her gaze to the other child in the stroller, Lu Xia. Lu Xia gave her a four-teeth smile.
Su Han's heart melted immediately, and he held the child's soft body in his arms, being very careful not to drop it. The two leaned against each other and whispered to each other, discussing the child's beautiful appearance, and then persevered in trying to find differences.
Xia Yitong's eyes wandered between the two of them, and she couldn't help but smile slightly, feeling that they were quite a good match.
She was not good at gossip, so she had to leave it to Lu Yinbing. Speak of the devil, and he will appear. Lu Yinbing took off her apron, came out of the kitchen, sat down on the sofa with her legs stretched out, gulped down a glass of water from her own mug, and then poured herself another cup.
"Mr. Su." She called Su Han the same way as everyone else did, which made Su Han's relaxed mood become tense again for no reason.
Su Han sat opposite her with a serious expression, and Xia Yitong took Lu Xia from his hand.
Xue Yao didn't say anything. She also wanted to see what tricks Lu Yinbing was going to come up with.
Lu Yinbing: "To be honest, our Xue Ma has been single for more than 40 years, and I have never seen her pursue someone so hard. Of course, I don't know if she lied to me before I met her."
Xue Yao raised her foot as if she was about to kick.
Su Han glanced at Xue Yao, and Xue Yao made a swearing gesture with one hand, indicating that she was definitely not lying.
Lu Yinbing said, "You know I have always disliked you and have never called you by the right name, but Xue Yao likes you, so I will try to like you more in the future to avoid making Mr. Xue embarrassed."
Xue Yao interrupted and said, "It's not difficult at all. Your opinion is of no use to me."
Lu Yinbing glared at her in reproach: "I was thinking about you and you still scolded me. You took my kindness for granted."
Lu Yinbing: "I don't know if Xue Yao has told you a lot of things, but in short, to us, she is a very good agent, a very good friend, a very good family member, and she will also be a very good partner. If you encounter any discord in the future, feel free to come to us. It's not easy for her to find you, so don't get separated from her easily."
Lu Yinbing raised his mug and said, "On behalf of our family of five, I welcome you to join us."
Su Han clinked glasses with Lu Yinbing in a daze.
Lu Yinbing: "I'll leave it to you. Please bear with me in the future."
Su Han: "Oh, okay."
She was confused, let alone Xue Yao. Xue Yao took one look and realized that something was wrong. Was this person who looked so serious as if he was going to entrust himself to Su Han the Lu Yinbing who was always stabbing people in the heart and hoping for chaos in the world
Lu Yinbing happily toasted with Su Han, and just accepted a father like this
No, no, Lu Yinbing must have a conspiracy.
"What conspiracy could I have?" Lu Yinbing returned to the kitchen, opened the casserole and added salt to the stew. Hearing Xue Yao's doubts, he smiled helplessly, "I really don't have any conspiracy. Didn't I invite her here to personally agree to this relationship? Did she come here specifically to pick on you? Who am I to you?"
Xue Yao said without hesitation: "He is not a good person."
Lu Yinbing almost knelt down to her: "I am innocent."
What's wrong with her being normal? Doesn't she even have a chance to be normal now? Huh
Xue Yao repeatedly questioned, "Tell me quickly, did you tell Su Han something in private? Did you expose my history as a middle school student?!"
Lu Yinbing: “…” Who cares about revealing her history? She doesn’t even want to say a few more words to Han Suhan.
Xue Yao: "Otherwise, why did she look at me with such pity just now?"
Lu Yinbing was so annoyed that he threw the white porcelain spoon away with a clang: "Are you sick? Who is abnormal today?"
Xue Yao was stunned for a moment, then fell silent.
She was abnormal. She just brought someone back to meet her parents. No, she was just a junior, but she was so nervous that she was chattering. She was not usually the talkative person. She was crazy and really like a young person.
Xia Yitong was outside accompanying Su Han. Without Lu Yinbing and Xue Yao standing by, the two of them returned to their familiar mode of getting along as friends. Su Han's straight waist finally had a chance to relax and he leaned against the back of the sofa.
Xia Yitong on the other side smiled and spoke slowly: "A long time ago, when I learned that Mr. Xue wanted to pursue you, I only had one feeling at that time."
"A bolt from the blue?" Su Han also laughed. He stretched out his arm and took a honey orange from the fruit plate, peeled it, broke it in half, and he and Xia Yitong each took half.
Xia Yitong nodded and smiled, "More or less. To be honest, I never thought she would be interested in you. I remember that every time you saw her, you would hide if you could, and if you couldn't, you would minimize your presence."
"I didn't think about it, but that's what happened." Now Su Han was asked to recall how the two of them started. No matter the many years that they could have avoided it, or the message that the other party suddenly sent her three years ago, she couldn't remember it clearly. It seemed like something very far away, and the happy time in the present moment was stretched infinitely long, as if they had been together for many years.
This feeling was not only shared by her, Xia Yitong also felt the same way. She was thirty years old this year, and ten years of secret love sounded long, but from the day she and Lu Yinbing got together, it was as short as a breath, and it passed in the blink of an eye. Now her thoughts of being with Lu Yinbing were also running towards another ten years, and the marks left in her heart during this ten years were different from those of the first ten years.
"Congratulations." The sweetness of the tangerine in her mouth spread all the way to her heart, and Xia Yitong blessed her.
"Congratulations to you too, for having a family and a pair of twin daughters." Su Han chuckled.
Xia Yitong waved her hands and shook her head: "Hey, the kids are making a lot of noise."
Su Han glanced at her: "Are you sure this isn't showing off?"
Xia Yitong grinned: "I'm just showing off, hahaha."
Su Han said, "I really should let you look in the mirror and see your cocky expression now. You really deserve a beating."
"I know it without even looking, it's so happy and so beautiful." Xia Yitong said shamelessly.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, and your face has become even thicker."
"No, no, my wife taught me well."
"Wait a minute, I suddenly remembered that I have a photo here." Su Han took out his mobile phone from his pocket, opened the photo album, and flipped through it from back to front. The densely packed photos slid quickly, making people dizzy.
Xia Yitong asked: "What photo?"
"Found it." Su Han's phone screen froze, and Xia Yitong followed to look over. The pixels of the photos taken with previous phones were not as clear as they are now, and because they were constantly backed up and stored in new phones, they looked very old.
The picture was of Xia Yitong, who was wearing a very ordinary white T-shirt, washed-out jeans and sneakers. She was standing on a busy street, looking up and trying to see the huge LED screen in the center of the city. It was too high and she was standing very close, so she could only look up as far as possible. There was only one woman on the screen, and her cold eyes seemed to be staring at everyone who looked at her.
That is…
Xia Yitong tried her best to recall, and her eyes finally lit up. Su Han announced the answer: "When I first signed you, I took you out to eat. On the way, they were playing Lu Yinbing's movie trailer, and you stopped and kept watching. You couldn't hear me even when I called you."
"I thought you wanted to be her. There is no female artist in the industry who doesn't want to achieve the same success as her. I didn't expect that you had this idea. You stole Dong Yafei's role, but by accident you became the heroine of the movie, and then..."
Su Han asked: "Do you believe that there is such a thing as fate in this world?"
Xia Yitong nodded: "I believe it."
There was such a huge gap between her and Lu Yinbing that could not be filled by hard work alone. There were so many hard-working people in the world, but who could be as lucky as her? As Su Han said, she had a family and a pair of twin daughters.
Su Han curled his lips and said, "I believe it too."
She whispered to Xia Yitong about the unrealistic fantasies she had about Xue Yao a long time ago, which she had never told anyone before. The more Xia Yitong listened, the wider her eyes opened. Finally, Su Han asked her to keep it a secret and not tell Xue Yao.
Xia Yitong agreed and asked Su Han to send her the old photos in her mobile phone, not only this one, but also the previous ones.
"What do you want this for?"
"Keep it as a souvenir, and..." Xia Yitong thought for a moment and said, "Maybe I'll give Lu Yinbing a gift. Life needs surprises. Small surprises come all the time, but I've been saving up this big surprise for more than ten years."
She whetted Su Han's appetite, but when he tried to get something out of her, Xia Yitong just smiled with her eyes curved and kept silent like a saw-mouthed gourd.
“The reason why a surprise is a surprise is that no one knows about it beforehand.”
"I promise not to tell your teacher Lu!"
"No, no."
"I just told you my little secret."
"I didn't force you to say it. Don't come over here, I'm going to tell Aunt Xue that you molested me. Aunt Xue—mmmm!" Xia Yitong was suppressed by Su Han halfway through her complaint. She shook off Su Han's claws and pouted several times in succession, "Wow, you, why are you becoming more and more rogue? Did you learn this from President Xue?"
"Bullshit." Su Han stretched his muscles and smiled gently and harmlessly, "I've always been like this."
"You can't judge a person by his appearance." Xia Yitong pointed at her with a trembling index finger, then turned around and rushed into the kitchen, "I'm reporting it!"
Lu Yinbing stopped her from rushing forward and pulled her into his arms: "Report what?"
"I report Sister Su Han for being a beast in disguise!!!"
Xue Yao: “???”
Su Han: "What nonsense are you talking about."
Lu Yinbing gently tapped Xia Yitong's nose, "Naughty."
He turned around and brushed aside the incident: "It's time to eat. Hurry up and bring the food to the table."
Four busy figures were coming in and out of the kitchen, and the villa was suddenly filled with a lively atmosphere.
