"Guess." Shen Cheng smiled slightly. Qiao Xinwan opened the box and was startled. Inside the box is a circle of diamonds of various sizes. The smallest is one carat and the largest is five carats.

There are as many as a dozen, arranged in a circle in the small box, shining brightly.

"It's too precious." Qiao Xinwan put the lid on the box and wanted to return it to Shen Cheng. He pushed back.

"Bei Er is still young and can't wear it. So I bought this cut. When Belle grows up, I can order whatever style I want."

"Shen Cheng." Qiao Xinwan found it hard to accept, "It's just a full moon. It's really too precious."

"I didn't give it to you, I gave it to Belle." Shen Cheng looked at Qiao Xinwan's holding Belle: "Pearl, do you think it's expensive or not? If it's not, then don't say anything. It's precious, just say it."

"Shen Cheng." The child is still so young, what would he say? Qiao Xinwan was really speechless, Belle blinked, looked at Shen Cheng, and suddenly grinned.

Give it to your son. Shen Cheng smiled and clapped his hands: "Look, Belle likes this. So, don't refuse."

Qiao Xinwan felt helpless and put the gift aside. Shen Cheng didn't care, and took out a small box from his pocket, and handed it to Qiao Xinwan.

"Xinwan, that one is for the baby. I also prepared a gift for you."

"Me?" Qiao Xinwan was stunned for a moment, looking at the box, she already guessed what it was. She was no stranger to this box: "Shen Cheng?"

"Please marry me." Shen Cheng opened the box, and the diamonds inside were shining brightly. Shen Cheng looked sincere: "I will love you for the rest of my life and give Belle a complete family. I hope I can live with you. I will give you a lifetime of happiness. Please believe me."

"Shen Cheng." Shen Cheng had said such words many times, and Qiao Xinwan never once doubted the authenticity of these words. But she knew it very well. The person I love is not Shen Cheng. She is grateful, touched, but not loved.

"It's not fair to you." Really not fair. If it was before, she could be willful and selfish. But now, she can't do it.

"I don't want to be fair." Shen Cheng looked at Qiao Xinwan with focused eyes: "The apartment I live in was redecorated last week. There is a special baby room. I have arranged everything in it Yes. You just need to bring Belle to marry me. You leave the rest to me. Is this okay?"

Qiao Xinwan's eyes were hot, and many emotions welled up in her heart. She couldn't speak, wanted to refuse, couldn't bear it. I don't refuse, and I don't want to.

The expression was full of confusion, Shen Cheng didn't force her, and sat by the bed waiting for her answer.

at this moment. She heard footsteps, wiped her eyes, and looked outside the door. It turned out that Hu Yimin, Song Chenyun, and Du Libin all came, and they all brought gifts.

Mother Qiao came up behind them, took the presents, and thanked everyone.

Qiao Xinwan looked at Shen Cheng, he had already put away the box, but the disappointment on his face was clearly visible. I feel guilty for a while. She was really sorry for Shen Cheng.

Several Faxiao looked at the little princess talking and laughing. At this time, the servant's voice sounded downstairs, and another guest came.

Mother Qiao went downstairs, and all three of the Gu family came. Gu Xuewen, his wife and Gu Xuemei.

Xuemei was still sitting in a wheelchair, because it was summer, and sitting there in a white chiffon dress gave her a bit of fragility. Zuo Panqing stood beside her, her belly seemed to be a little bigger than last time.

"Auntie." Gu Xuewen nodded to Qiao's mother, and gave a congratulatory gift: "A small gift. It's not a respect."

"You're being polite." Mother Qiao still had complicated emotions towards the members of the Gu family.

"Sit down. I'll ask my aunt to carry the baby down."

Don't wait for her to speak. Shen Cheng and the others all came down. Seeing Gu Xuewen coming, Song Chenyun and the others hurried forward. uehw.

"Brother Wen."

"Yeah." Gu Xuewen nodded, he thought he was the first one: "I didn't expect you to be earlier than me."

"That's right." Song Chenyun smiled, and pointed to Shen Cheng behind him: "This guy, how generous is he? The rough diamonds from South Africa that my company just bought. As soon as they are cut, they are all picked. Do you think I can forget? "

Gu Xuewen looked at Shen Cheng: "You really have a heart."

No one would doubt the authenticity of Shen Cheng's feelings for Qiao Xinwan, but what everyone knew better was that Qiao Xinwan's child belonged to Gu Xuewu.

"You're being polite." Shen Cheng was not humble about Gu Xuewen's words. Looking upstairs: "Be good to my future wife, I don't think I'm the first one. Right?"

"Indeed." Gu Xuewen turned around and glanced at Zuo Panqing: "Are you tired?"

"Not tired." Zuo Panqing would have rushed upstairs to see the child if it wasn't because of Gu Xuewen's pull. After waiting for a long time, Qiao Xinwan finally came downstairs, and her aunt followed her, holding Belle in her arms.

Zuo Panqing was the first to meet Qiao Xinwan, and said to Qiao Xinwan, "Xinwan, congratulations on the baby's full moon, I wish the baby good health and grow up happily."

"Thank you." Qiao Xinwan liked Panqing, and was very happy to see her here. But: "Shouldn't you stop running around at this time?"

"It's okay." Zuo Panqing waved his hand: "The doctor said I need to exercise more."

Qiao Xinwan nodded, and pointed to the sofa: "Sit down, don't keep standing, it looks really tiring."

She is also a pregnant woman. When her belly is big, she is very uncomfortable.

"Thank you." Zuo Panqing nodded, and gave the gift she had prepared to Qiao Xinwan: "This is prepared by me, with a little thought. Don't be disgusted."

"You're too polite." Qiao Xinwan opened the box and looked at it, she saw a smiling Maitreya Buddha. The color is transparent and lustrous. Carving is also good. It is a fine piece of sapphire.

"Isn't it too expensive?" Qiao Xinwan was not being polite, she really felt a little expensive. After all, Belle is still young.

"It's not expensive." Zuo Panqing waved her hand, she works in a jewelry company, if the gift is too bad, she won't be able to take it out: "Girl, let's keep it with a jade. How nice."

"Thank you." Qiao Xinwan knew that she and Zuo Panqing would become good friends in the future, so she took her hand: "Let's go. Let's sit down."

"Xinwan." Gu Xuemei spoke from behind the crowd, and handed her a gift: "Congratulations."

"Thanks."

Take the presents from everyone and ask Mother Qiao to keep them all. Qiao Xinwan sat down to chat with everyone, and the servants brought refreshments to entertain the guests. A few laughing and making noise, the atmosphere is so lively. Only Qiao Xinwan.

Listening to everyone's conversation, they looked outside the villa from time to time. And Shen Cheng, who was sitting next to her, knew her thoughts with just one glance.

Belle is full moon today. Everyone came, but Gu Xuewu, who was the father of the child, did not come. He should feel happy, Gu Xuewu should let go, right

The absence of the full moon shows that she really gave up on Belle and stopped fighting for it. But in my heart, I feel that Gu Xuewu is ruthless. Really ruthless.

But Qiao Xinwan didn't think too much about it. Shen Cheng's parents and Gu Xuewu's parents were all here at this time, even Gu Zhiqiang and Chen Jingru were also here.

The six elders stopped in the living room. Most of the young man's laughter disappeared immediately.

After looking at each other in blank dismay, they all got up and gave up their seats to the elders. After some greetings, several elders presented gifts, Qiao Jie went downstairs at this time, hooked Song Chenyun's arm and took them to another living room, leaving the hall to the elders.

Qiao Xinwan wanted to leave, but when she saw Wang Xiu'e hugging the child, she felt a little vigilant. Sitting in the living room with several elders, did not leave.

But when Wang Xiu'e returned the child to her, she was relieved. I feel like I'm overthinking. After all, this is the Qiao family, not the Gu family.

I took the children to find Panqing and the others to chat, and asked Mother Qiao to entertain the elders.

... ... ...

Gu Xuewu got off the plane. Turning on the phone, there are more than a dozen missed calls on it. He frowned.

Pressing one of the numbers, listening to the voice on the other side of the phone, a frown flashed between his brows: "What did you say?"

Repeated over the phone. Gu Xuewu's face was a little dignified.

He quickened his pace and walked outside. Belle is full moon today? Isn't it tomorrow? He always thought it was tomorrow. According to Gu Xuewen, it is calculated according to the lunar calendar, not the Gregorian calendar.

Gu Xuewu stretched out his hand to stop a taxi, and rushed to Qiao's house as fast as he could.

Although Gu Xuewu moved quickly, it was already afternoon when he arrived at Qiao's house. The guests who came left early. In the living room, Mother Qiao was still asking people to clean up the aftermath. Seeing him coming, his face was a little complicated. But he didn't stop him from going upstairs, but opened his mouth softly when he went upstairs.

"Xuewu, your parents have been here today."

Gu Xuewu was stunned for a moment, stopped when he wanted to go upstairs, turned around and looked at Mother Qiao, not understanding what she meant.

"I don't understand why you and Xinwan wanted to divorce in the first place. Xinwan said she proposed it. But now you have children. Can you consider getting back together?"

Except for Gu Tianchu who didn't come today, all the Gu family members arrived. It is said that such a big battle is to see Xinwan, but no one believes it, it is better to say that it is to see Belle.

If it was in the past, Mother Qiao would not have said this, but after today, it will not be like this. When Shen Cheng's parents came and were about to leave, the implication was that although the Shen family liked Xinwan, if Without children, Shen Cheng and Xin Wan are well matched.

However, it is different now that you have children.

For the latter, Shen's mother doesn't need to pick Doming anymore, Qiao's mother already understands. I knew in my heart that it was inappropriate, but Shen Cheng was stubborn and Qiao Xinwan was stubborn. She didn't pull the right end. After Qiao's family left, I thought about it for a long time. In the end, he finally decided to ask Gu Xuewu what he meant.

Gu Xuewu was stunned for a moment, looking at Qiao's mother with a slightly dazed expression, reuniting with Qiao Xinwan? How can it be

Qiao's mother sighed: "Xuewu, you can be regarded as the child I grew up with. Xinwan has liked you since she was a child. I hope you can understand. Although she is a bit willful and spoiled, her feelings for you are true. "

Gu Xuewu was silent, wanted to say something, but finally nodded slightly, turned around, and went upstairs.

Mother Qiao looked at his back and frowned. The most unforceable thing in this world is love. Everyone knows the truth that twisted melons are not sweet, but when that melon is her daughter's favorite, she wants to sweeten it even if it is not sweet.

How many children understand such painstaking efforts

... ... ...

When Gu Xuewu went upstairs, Belle had already fallen asleep, she was already tired after playing for a long time, and she was sleeping soundly in the crib. Little blushed, pouted. It looks very cute.

Wearing a new pink dress, Gu Xuewu could see the gold bracelets on her hands and the gold locks on her stomach. His brows furrowed. Three days ago, the minister arranged for him to preside over an executive meeting.

The meeting was held for three days, and he thought he would pick out gifts when he came back, but he didn't expect that he had miscalculated the date.

As his father, is he dereliction of duty

Feeling a little depressed, she looked at her daughter's face and wanted to reach out to touch it. Aunt Zhou stared at him with a look of anti-thief: "Sir, it's not easy for me to find a job with such a high salary. Be kind, don't give it to me." Am I making a mess?"

Gu Xuewu ignored her words, and gently stroked her daughter's cheek with her hand. She frowned slightly in her sleep, and turned away with some discomfort.

My daughter resists herself when she sleeps. A trace of inexplicable emotion flashed in Gu Xuewu's heart. A little lost, a little unwilling, and some other emotions that he couldn't distinguish himself.

Standing up, he turned and left the room. When he left, Aunt Zhou breathed a sigh of relief. As long as this man didn't take Belle away, she could keep doing her job.

Gu Xuewu entered Qiao Xinwan's room. The door is not locked, so it is convenient for the aunt to take the baby in and feed it at any time. She is also tired and on her lunch break. Lie on your side on the bed.

With his eyes closed, he seemed so tired that he didn't even know someone was coming in. Gu Xuewu sat down beside the bed, slightly turned his head to look at Qiao Xinwan's face.

They have known each other for decades, from childhood to now, but he has never seriously seen what Qiao Xinwan looks like once. The face in the impression is very blurred.

I only remember a very beautiful face, always wearing delicate makeup. However, he never thought about taking a serious look at Qiao Xinwan's appearance.

But looking at her now, she is asleep, her face is clear and refreshed. For the first time, he discovered that Qiao Xinwan's skin was fair and she looked good without makeup. Eyebrows are also good.

Place one hand on the cheek. It seemed to be dreaming, and the eyebrows were wrinkled again.

The lips are slightly parted, a bit tempting to kiss. The brief meeting of lips on this bed some time ago flashed through my mind. Her lips seem soft

His thoughts stopped, Gu Xuewu didn't understand what was wrong with him.

Looking at her furrowed brows, he stretched his hand forward somehow, trying to smooth it out, but stopped just before touching her cheek.

The hand stood there motionless, but Qiao Xinwan woke up at this moment, opened her eyes, and saw Gu Xuewu's hand in front of her. ,

"Drink." She was startled, and instinctively retreated backwards. But lying on the bed, where can I retreat? 0

"You..." Why are you here

The latter words were not asked. Gu Xuewu withdrew his hand and sat upright again. Seeing the terrified look on Qiao Xinwan's face, he actually felt a little happy.

Concentrating her eyes, suppressing those unnecessary emotions, she looked at Qiao Xinwan and said softly, "Let's get back together."
