Xia An raised his head and looked at Ye Jin again.
Their eyes briefly met in the rearview mirror of the car. Xia An opened his lips to speak but stopped, only to see those calm eyes glancing at him, then continued to focus on the front.
After receiving Ye Jin's affirmation, Ye Wan became more and more proud of her intelligence, "Aunt Xiao Xia, we have agreed that from now on you will be my mother's girlfriend and Wan Wan's mother~~~"
This kid...
This was the first time that Xia An was stumped by a little kid. The smile on her face was very helpless. At this moment, she looked at Mr. Ye in the driver's seat. She still maintained her goddess attitude and drove the car with no distractions. She had no intention of hurting Ye Wan.
Explain what.
"Wanwan," Xia An said patiently, thinking about the words in her mind, "Girlfriends can't be just for others."
"But," Ye Wan frowned and said very seriously, "Auntie has already promised me. The teacher said that you must keep your word and you must not lie or deceive."
Xia An silently gave a thumbs up in her heart. At such a young age and with perfect logic, she deserves to be Mr. Ye's daughter.
Although Ye Jin was concentrating on driving on the surface, in fact she had been paying attention to the conversation between a large and small child in the back seat. She saw that Miss Xia, who usually chatted with people in nightclubs, was now being asked questions by a four-year-old child and could not answer.
As he spoke, there was a rare smile on Ye Jin's lips.
"Little cutie, Auntie really wants to promise you. But..." Xia An paused for a while, and unconsciously glanced at Ye Jin, who was driving in the front seat, from the corner of his eye, "You have to like each other to be girlfriends, you know?"
Ye Wan also had a very stubborn temper, so she felt a little unhappy when she heard this answer. She pouted at Xia An, "Don't you like my mother?"
Xia An didn't know how to continue explaining. The world of children is so simple.
"Other children in the class have two parents, but I only have one mother. They laughed at me and asked me why I only have one mother," Ye Wan said, lowering her head in frustration, her voice became softer, and her tone was particularly aggrieved.
,"how could I know……"
Xia An took Ye Wan into her arms, rubbed her little head distressedly, and lowered her eyes thoughtfully. When she was eleven, her mother left home and never came back. She understood this feeling.
We also know how much of a psychological impact this has on a child, not to mention that Ye Wan is still so young.
When Ye Jin heard Ye Wan's aggrieved tone, she looked sad. She took Ye Wan home from the orphanage and provided the best for everything, but failed to satisfy the child's most basic and most desired wish, a complete child.
family.
"Auntie will come to play with you often from now on, okay?"
Ye Wan said nothing and turned her head to the side.
It seems that he is angry because of the gamble.
Xia An continued to coax, "I'll bring delicious food to Wan Wan."
Crossroads, red light.
Ye Jin stepped on the brakes.
"No, I want my mother..." Ye Wan, who had always been well-behaved, said to Xia An stubbornly and willfully, a little reluctant.
Ye Jin turned his head slightly and scolded slightly, "Wanwan, stop making trouble."
Ye Wan was just bored for a while, and then said, "Don't make trouble in Wanwan, be good Wanwan."
Then fell into silence.
Xia An lowered his head and touched Ye Wan's face. Being so sensible at such a young age may not be something to be happy about.
Ten minutes later, Ye Wan was sent to the kindergarten first.
Ye Jin unbuckled her seat belt, turned her back to Xia An and said, "You wait in the car for a while, I'll take her to school first."
Xia An glanced at the little one who was still disappointed, "Let's go together..."
Ye Jin didn't respond, but Xia An knew that Mr. Ye meant "whatever you want".
It's October, and the breath of summer is getting weaker and weaker.
This is definitely an aristocratic kindergarten, Xia An can tell from the luxury cars parked at the door.
Ye Jin led Ye Wan and walked a little ahead. One was elegant, the other was cute. Xia An looked at the figures from behind, and quickly caught up with them. The three of them walked side by side.
Many of the people who come to take their children to school are families of three. It’s no wonder that the little ones feel like they don’t fit in.
"Wanwan?" Xia An saw that Ye Wan was still hanging his head, so he bent down, smiled and gently took the little hand, and held it gently in his palm.
Ye Wan looked up in surprise, and then finally smiled.
It's great to be able to hold both the left and right hands. Ye Wan looked at Xia An, her eyes turning into crescent moons again.
When Ye Jin turned around, Xia An was smiling with downcast eyes, as gentle as the gentle breeze. But last night, she was sitting on a seat on the street, looking pitiful and alone.
His eyes fell on Xia An's brows again.
Ye Jin, who has always been noncommittal towards others, secretly felt that she looked good when she smiled.
"Goodbye, mom." Ye Wan let go of Ye Jin's hand and waved goodbye, but her other hand was still holding Xia An, "Auntie..."
Xia An saw that she seemed to have something to say to him, so he squatted down and asked, "What's wrong?"
Ye Wan glanced at Ye Jin, then whispered in Xia An's ear, "Can you like my mother? My mother is very good, and I don't want to see her alone all the time."
The child said these words simply and seriously in a soft voice, which touched the softest part of Xia An's heart. She stared at Ye Wan's expectant eyes, and leaned into her ear, whispering patiently, "Yes.
Yes. There will be people who like your mother, and there will be people who will accompany her, and she will not be alone all the time."
"Really?"
"Auntie won't lie to you."
Ye Wan received a satisfactory answer and boldly kissed Xia An on the cheek, "Thank you, auntie."
"Be good, go to class."
Ye Jin stood aside and watched, thinking, this little guy has only met Xia An a few times, and now he is kissing, hugging and acting coquettishly. I have to say that Miss Xia is quite good at coaxing children.
After seeing Ye Wan off, Xia An and Ye Jin walked back quietly.
"What did she just tell you?" Ye Jin asked curiously.
"She said..." Xia An thought for a moment and smiled, "She said she loves you."
Mr. Ye gave Miss Xia a cold look, obviously not believing her.
"Wanwan is really sensible."
"I know."
The two walked to the car.
Xia An looked at the bus stop not far away and stopped. She was still not used to bothering others, even for small things, "I can just go back from here by myself, no need to bother..."
Not finished yet.
"It's just on the way." Ye Jin said, "Get in the car, I'm in a hurry."
It was almost a commanding tone, maybe the senior leaders were used to it, Xia An thought.
Xia An got into the passenger seat and turned around to see that Mr. Ye still had a "I'm not familiar with you" look on her face. She couldn't tell whether she was in a good or bad mood.
As for myself...
With only the two of them left, there was very little conversation.
Xia An didn't know whether Ye Jin was like this to herself or to everyone.
The atmosphere was so cold, colder than the air conditioner in the car.
Xia An awkwardly touched her arm, and not long after, she noticed that Ye Jin had turned down the air conditioner.
"I'm not cold." Xia An finally found the topic.
Ye Jin was silent for several seconds before saying, "I'm cold."
"Mr. Ye, Wan Wan's father..." Xia An tentatively spoke. After Ye Jin glanced at her, Miss Xia swallowed her words back. This question was indeed too personal, and the other party did not intend to take the initiative to raise it.
and.
Xia An turned his head and looked out the car window, looking at the scenery absently, pretending that he didn't ask anything just now.
"I adopted Wanwan." Ye Jin looked forward and said proactively, "Don't let her know."
"Well." Xia An turned around, surprised that Ye Jin suddenly explained to himself. The chat paused for a few seconds, and Xia An asked again, "Aren't you planning to find a partner? I mean, seriously.
"
Xia An asked this suddenly because it was obvious that Wanwan really wanted a complete family. An outstanding woman like Mr. Ye would definitely have no shortage of suitors.
Ye Jin held the steering wheel and said, "Miss Xia, this seems to have nothing to do with you."
"..."
The chat ends.
During the next ten minutes of driving, the car remained quiet for ten minutes.
Xia An thought about the question she had in mind when she met Ye Jin for the first time. She became more and more curious: What kind of person can enter the heart of such a woman?
She is excellent, but even more unreachable.
Xia An quietly glanced at Ye Jin, seeming to understand the reason why Mr. Ye has always been single...
Well, it's understandable. No wonder her four-year-old daughter is worried about her.
Before Xia An got out of the car, Ye Jin wanted to remind her to think carefully about the marriage agreement, but she still didn't say it.
"...I'm sorry, manager, I still can't come tonight." Xia An stood at the end of the corridor and called, "I've been very busy at night lately and I really can't spare the time."
"Xia Xia, I see that you are doing well here, so I advise you. You might as well quit your current job and work with us full-time. With your ability, I guarantee that your salary will not be any worse, and you will definitely earn more than you do now."
Much more." The manager didn't know that Xia An was actually a graduate student. He only knew that this girl was a good-looking girl and it would be a waste of talent not to work full-time.
Xia An thanked the other party for his kindness and declined.
In ward 1007, the middle-aged man on the bed had just finished his fifth round of chemotherapy. His face was pale with no blood, and he was already haggard. Xia Hexian had not left the hospital bed since his acute myeloid crisis last year.
"Dad, let's have something to eat." Xia An packed the dinner from the hospital cafeteria.
Xia He took a closer look behind Xia An and made sure that Xia An was alone. He was a little disappointed and asked, "Why didn't Xiao Zhen come with you?"
Xia An pulled up a chair and sat down next to the hospital bed, and answered perfunctorily, "Maybe I'm busy."
After that night, Tang Zhen didn't go to the department to look for her again. Later, she saw Tang Zhen once in the hospital, but the two didn't speak.
Xia An actually thought this was just right.
"He hasn't come for several days." Xia Hexian was worried. Tang Zhenke used to come every day, but now he doesn't know what's going on. He asked Xia An again, "Did you quarrel with him? Girl, if so,
If there is any awkwardness, you should take the initiative to apologize..."
"Dad, I beg you, don't bother him with anything." Xia An interrupted Xia Hexian, and she confessed more than once, "They have no obligation to help us."
"How can you call it trouble..." Xia He muttered softly, "He promised me that he will take care of you in the future."
Xia An patiently said, "What relationship do I have with him? You just let him take care of me?"
"Xiao An, don't be so stubborn. Dad is doing this for your own good. If I'm gone, someone can take care of you. I feel at ease..." Xia He first hoped that Xia An and Tang Zhen could be together. The conditions of the Tang family
It was not bad. Tang Zhen knew the situation of their family and was still willing to marry Xia An. If his daughter married into the Tang family, she would suffer less.
"Lao Xia, just prepare for the operation and wait to be discharged from the hospital. Don't think about it all day long. Can you please let me rest assured?"
"If you don't want Xiao Zhen's money, how can you still have money for my surgery?" Xia Hexian has a cowardly character and can't make up his mind, otherwise he wouldn't have let his wife run away like that.
"The scholarship and project subsidy are enough." Xia An said casually. Xia He didn't know the specific situation anyway.
Xia He thought about it first, "You and Xiao Zhen should get married, otherwise I, I really won't be able to do the operation with peace of mind..."
"What does your surgery have to do with my marriage to Tang Zhen?"
"How stressful is it for you to bear all this alone? No, I can't drag you down...Either, or we won't do this surgery." Xia He kept mumbling, if he didn't do this surgery, Xia An would basically
Without the burden, why would he need surgery? Even if his life was saved, it would still be a burden. "I won't have surgery. It's not necessary. We won't spend the money."
The more you say it, the more outrageous it becomes.
Xia An's lower lip was almost broken. She looked at Xia Hexian helplessly. At this point, she asked, "Are you going to make me mad to death?"
"I..." Xia He said the same words first, "You can give Xiao Zhen a chance. Let's not mention marriage. You can try it together."
Xia Hexian didn't know how many days he would be left behind. He sincerely hoped that Xia An could find someone to rely on and not live as hard as now. Tang Zhen's kindness to Xia An was also seen by him. If Xia An could be with
When Tang Zhen is together, to put it bluntly, he will die in peace.
Xia An understood Xia Hexian's thoughts. On the one hand, he hoped to find a destination for himself as soon as possible; on the other hand, he hoped that someone would bear the financial pressure with him. If he was with Tang Zhen, it would be justifiable for Tang Zhen to help him.
But Xia An still said bluntly, "I will not be with Tang Zhen, and you don't have such hope either."
"Why don't you kid listen to my advice?" Xia He grabbed the sheets first and said anxiously, "You... If you promise to be with Xiao Zhen, I will agree to do the surgery."
"dad?!"
Xia An thought calmly for a moment, "Let me tell you straight, I already have a girlfriend..."
