She shook her head and sighed, with a little displeasure and helplessness: "Situ Leiyan, you will take care of the children first. I...when I'm done, I'll come and take them back."
"Okay," Situ Leiyan replied cheerfully. This time, he was in a really good mood, "Situ Jue, Situ Hui, say goodbye to your mommy."
After hearing what he said, the two children raised their hands seriously.
"Xiao Ran, I'm with daddy too!" Xiao Jue added, his bright eyes falling on Xiao Ran. Xiao Ran then pouted and lay on Leng Zhiqing's shoulder.
Leng Zhiqing glanced at Situ Leiyan indifferently, and left with a half-smile.
Seeing Xiao Xixi and Leng Zhiqing leaving, Situ Leiyan felt a burst of unhappiness due to the joy of the children. She just left without looking back, as if she had been abandoned.
Xiao Xixi walked in front, feeling a little unhappy with the behavior of the two children. She walked to the car, opened the door and got in, still with a resentful expression on her face.
"What's wrong? Do you still mind?" Leng Zhiqing asked simply.
"It's okay," Xiao Xixi replied, casually adjusting Xiaoran's collar and looking out the window, "The children... I didn't expect them to want to stay with him." She still said it, feeling a little cold.
"Maybe it's just a whim. I can just take them back later." Leng Zhiqing's tone was still cold, "I didn't expect you to bring the children here."
One sentence immediately struck a chord in Xiao Xixi's mind that she had ignored.
She glanced out the window and immediately retracted her gaze. She looked at Leng Zhiqing with a little embarrassment and coughed slightly: "It happened by chance. I...I-I was taking the children to parent-child classes, but Xiao Jue behaved
No, I wanted to take them back, but then Situ Leiyan called me, so I..."
"Don't be nervous," Leng Zhiqing looked at Xiao Xixi seriously. Her words were too hasty and revealed some unnaturalness. "If you want to have a picnic, I will take you out later."
"Yeah." Xiao Xixi only said something as an answer.
Want to have a picnic?
Not at all. She was obviously... blackmailed by Situ Leiyan because she "provoked" him. What three things... the first one made her so embarrassed.
How could it be such a coincidence? Just after I agreed to him and came to fulfill my promise, Leng Zhiqing came back and saw me. I don't know where the guilt started to arise.
"By the way, do you want to go back to the company? Do you need to go back to the company for something?" Xiao Xixi suddenly remembered and asked.
"If you don't say so," Leng Zhiqing smiled lightly, "will you go back with me?"
"You..." Realizing that she had been deceived, Xiao Xixi felt inexplicably cold. How could he "lie" so naturally?... It was simply confusing to her. She shook her head: "If not, then...
What should I do when I go back?" Do you want her to go back and have nothing to do?
Leng Zhiqing's eyes looked very calm, and his words were even calmer: "I just want you to go back." After not seeing her for a few days, he wanted to see her. The feeling of not being able to find her and not guarding her was worse than breaking through the border.
Disaster.
Xiao Xixi shook her head and let out a sigh of relief.
Inadvertently, she felt a little regretful. She suddenly remembered that Xiaojue and Xiaohui were with Situ Leiyan at the moment. If Leng Zhiqing hadn't said something was wrong, she... would still be willing to be with them.
In fact, after knowing each other for so many months, she still didn't quite understand Leng Zhiqing. For example, what he said just now was so true that it didn't look like he was taking the opportunity to ask her to come back.
As the car drove steadily towards the mansion, Xiao Xixi began to blame herself for not thinking carefully.
While changing into slippers at the entrance, she felt empty as she watched Leng Zhiqing's tall and straight figure walking upstairs, holding Xiao Ran who was sleeping in the car.
Sitting on the sofa, watching TV in a daze.
"What are you thinking about?" Leng Zhiqing's voice suddenly sounded. She raised her eyes and saw his face softening. Leng Zhiqing asked with concern, "Have you missed me these past few days?"
This question is very unexpected.
Xiao Xixi felt as if she had received a small electric shock, and what suddenly came to her mind was Situ Leiyan's cold and serious face.
She hurriedly replied uncomfortably: "You...didn't tell me not to talk like that." Unexpectedly, her repeated emphasis was of no use to him. He clearly missed her, but she didn't want to think about it at the moment.
accept.
"But, I really miss you." Leng Zhiqing rarely comes back, and it does take a lot of time to meet her. He has too few opportunities to say soft words. At this moment, he not only said it, but also focused his eyes.
He locked his eyes on Xiao Xixi and wanted to see everything about her.
"Thank you." Xiao Xixi couldn't refute, so she could only downplay it.
"I haven't seen you for a few days, you seem..." Leng Zhiqing suddenly raised his fingertips and slid the back of his fingers across Xiao Xixi's cheek.
"What?" Xiao Xixi tilted her head, avoiding such an intimate touch. She suddenly felt a little resistant to his gesture. Leng Zhiqing was a calm person. She didn't hate him, but... now
Not used to it.
"You are even more beautiful." Leng Zhiqing said. What she thought about day and night was this fair and pure face.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit ambiguous, Xiao Xixi hurriedly coughed twice, stood up and walked to the cupboard, refilling her and Leng Zhiqing's teacups with some hot water. Taking the cup and returning to the sofa, she no longer sat next to him, but
Moved to another location.
This obvious gap caused Leng Zhiqing's thin lips to move slightly. He didn't expect that in such a few days, Xiao Xixi would suddenly be so estranged and... resistant to him. Maybe, it couldn't be said to be contradictory, but it was very unnatural to get along with him.
.
Could it be that I am a little too frivolous?
He was puzzled and spoke softly: "What was he talking about to you?"
"What?" Xiao Xixi was surprised, a little confused by Leng Zhiqing's sudden question. After a while, she realized what he was referring to, "Did you mean...'that thing' he said?" She didn't expect it.
It's a bit incredible that Leng Zhiqing would ask such a detailed question.
"Well, the last thing he told you." Leng Zhiqing paid close attention to her answer.
"He -" Xiao Xixi was about to speak when Situ Leiyan suddenly asked her to keep it a secret, and she immediately changed her words, "He said that he asked me to think about the children's education. In a few years, the children will go to elementary school. I don't know.
Is it better to stay in the United States or return to the mainland?"
After making up this lie, she suppressed her panic and didn't reveal the truth. It was all Situ Leiyan's fault. He told herself so carelessly and ended up leaving this problem to herself.
She looked up at the ceiling helplessly, sighed, and felt a little trembling in her heart, but that was all she had to say.
"Don't worry about this," Leng Zhiqing answered, "It's fine for the three children to stay together in the United States. I will arrange for the best aristocratic school in California. You don't have to worry about education. Or... you want to go back to the mainland?"
Xiao Xixi was a little embarrassed. She didn't expect that Leng Zhiqing would continue what she said. She hurriedly smiled and said: "I don't think this question is urgent yet. Don't worry. And...they, they may not be with Xiaoran."
Go to school." Suddenly thinking of Leng Zhiqing's words, she hurriedly explained.
Does he mean to stay with him forever? This question is the real question.
For a moment, Xiao Xixi felt that she was in despair. What she was thinking about was Situ Leiyan. If she kept making up lies like this, she didn't know when the truth would be exposed, and she still needed him to be her backbone.
"Okay, don't be in a hurry, I have time to wait." Leng Zhiqing's words contained a double meaning.
Xiao Xixi drank some water and kept looking at the wall clock, with a little anxiety in her eyes. Once she stopped, she would think of the two children with Situ Leiyan. Even though he was their biological father, she could not help but worry.
While chatting with Leng Zhiqing, she couldn't help but said: "Leng Zhiqing, I'm sorry... I'm still worried. I want to go to Situ Leiyan's place and look at Xiao Jue and Xiao Hui.
I'm afraid something will happen to them." In front of his eyes, the shadow of two children who might be crying suddenly appeared.
"Didn't he call?" Leng Zhiqing asked back. He didn't want her to leave so quickly and serve Situ Leiyan's purpose. He was much smarter.
"But, I'm worried." Xiao Xixi didn't want to say any more and looked at Leng Zhiqing with some worry in her eyes, "I look at them and I can only be sure when I'm around them. You don't know Situ Leiyan's temper. I'm really worried."
The children don't get along well with him." No matter how I describe it, I can't describe the rising anxiety in my heart.
Leng Zhiqing felt a little surprised. Xiao Xixi didn't notice the natural tone and angry look in her eyes when she mentioned Situ Leiyan, but he completely closed his eyes. At this point, he immediately frowned.
Seeing that she really didn't want to change her mind, she nodded: "Then...when do you plan to come back?"
Xiao Xixi didn't think much about it. Seeing him respond, she immediately prepared to stand up: "It should be soon. It doesn't matter. I want to take them back. You can watch Xiao Ran at home first. I..."
"Do you really think of this place as your home?" Leng Zhiqing stopped Xiao Xixi's words and told her to stop there.
Xiao Xixi suddenly realized what she had just said, and her face suddenly felt warm: "I...I mean, you and Xiaoran's home, you stay with her at your home, and I will pick up the children."
The more you explain, the more unclear it becomes.
Xiao Xixi simply stopped talking and ended with a light smile.
"Pick them up and come back quickly." Leng Zhiqing looked at the noncommittal Xiao Xixi and said a few words simply.
Sitting in the car, Xiao Xixi's heart gradually calmed down. No matter what, she was on her way to find Xiaojue and Xiaohui. She took out her mobile phone and dialed: "Hey, Situ Leiyan? I'll go over now.
..”
However, the female voice coming from the phone made her panic to the extreme. She could clearly hear it was Gu Ruolan's voice: "Yan, the children are so cute, they really look like you. Xiao Jue's eyes, and yours
Exactly the same..."
Is it...Gu Ruolan?!
Suddenly, Xiao Xixi took a breath of cold air. Why was it her again? The two children... couldn't be touched by her anymore. She wanted to fly to Situ Leiyan, but she heard Situ Leiyan also said in a low voice: "You
Come here, we're still at Plimpton Park. Don't be anxious."
Don't be anxious, don't be anxious... Xiao Xixi's hands clenched tightly involuntarily, how could she not be anxious?!
