Tong Nian'an raised her eyes and stared at the door. She saw Mu Jingxi's burning eyes. For some reason, she almost instinctively moved her eyes to the woman next to Mu Jingxi, but at that time, someone was also walking towards the door.
, which happened to block her view.
Mu Jingxi and Xia Xuechen had already left the hotel. Xia Xuechen looked at him strangely and asked in a low voice: "Who was just now? Do you know someone?"
Mu Jingxi lowered his head and smiled: "A business person."
Xia Xuechen said "Oh" and didn't ask any more questions. She didn't blame him for his business matters. Her first purpose now was to catch this man well.
She used to be stupid and naive, thinking that love was everything. It wasn't until she was taken advantage of by the man she loved and lost everything that she finally realized that it's better to ask for yourself than to ask for others. Since Jing Yichen loves Tong Nian'an so much, then love him well and she will go back
City J made them miserable!
...........
Tong Nian'an and En'en walked to the door. Mu Jingxi had already got in the car and left, but she was unwilling to give in and still looked around.
Enen frowned and looked at her: "Mommy, what are you looking at?"
Tong Nian'an suddenly came to her senses and smiled awkwardly: "It's nothing, let's go."
The Oriental Pearl Tower at night was beautiful. Tong Nian'an took Enen to the spherical observation deck on the top. Looking around, you could almost overlook the entire Shanghai. The night view with bright lights was magnificent. En'en pulled Tong Nian'an to point here for a while, and then again.
Point there.
"Mommy, so beautiful! No wonder Uncle John always told me that China is very beautiful!" Enen looked at Tong Nian'an seriously. Tong Nian'an was amused by her and stretched out his hand to tap her small nose: "How old are you? You should speak like adults.
!”
Enen hugged her body: "Mommy, can we stay longer? I like it here so much!"
"No, we have to go back to France after finishing our work."
Enen's little face collapsed: "No! You can go back home anytime, but you can't come here anytime."
The child's words made Tong Nianan's face change unconsciously.
At home, she said at home...
It was she who never told Enen that this was her home and that she was Chinese. But over the years, she had never taught Enen her mother tongue. Subconsciously, she didn't want to bring Enen back here, not even for a moment.
Fate can scare people like that. When she saw Enen and Mu Jingxi together, her heart almost jumped out of her chest. Fortunately, he had forgotten about her! Tong Nian'an unconsciously hugged Enen's little boy tightly.
Enen didn't know why, so he leaned into her arms and chuckled: "Mommy, don't hold me, I want to play!"
"Okay." Tong Nian'an let go of her, and she immediately ran out happily.
On one side, there was a couple admiring the beautiful scenery. They brought a girl about the same age as Enen. When Enen saw her peers, she ran over with a smile and said in English: "It's beautiful here, isn't it?"
The girl didn't understand. She looked at Enen strangely with her big watery eyes. She suddenly turned around and shouted: "Dad, give me a hug."
The man smiled lovingly and bent down to pick up his daughter, then held his wife's hand with one hand and walked to the other side.
Tong Nian'an stared blankly until Enen returned to her side: "Mommy, where is Daddy?"
Tong Nian'an looked at her in surprise. Enen was very sensible. She had never asked anything about her father in front of her. Tong Nian'an couldn't help but think of Mu Jingxi's words in the hotel...
"Mommy..." Enen took her hand.
Tong Nian'an took a deep breath, squatted down and said, "Daddy is gone."
"Where did he go?"
"Went to...a far away place."
"Then when will you come back?"
"Mommy doesn't know either."
"Then let's call him!"
"There... there's no phone."
"Why is there no phone?"
The child's problems always came one after another. Tong Nian'an picked up Enen, kissed her pink cheek, and whispered: "Your daddy's phone is broken."
After hearing this, Enen suddenly became anxious: "Mommy, what should I do? Is there anything Uncle John can do?"
"Well, Uncle John may be thinking of a way. Okay, let's not talk about this, okay?"
"Well...but, Enen misses daddy very much. Mommy, do you miss him? Will daddy miss us?"
Whenever the child mentioned his father, Mu Jingxi's face would appear in front of Tong Nian'an's eyes. After so many years, every time she recalled his distrust of her, she would be lying if she said she didn't hate her. But now she looked at her daughter's expectant eyes.
, she told herself that she could not be so cruel to her child. She forced herself to laugh and continued to lie: "I think he will miss us too. As long as Enen is good and obedient, maybe your daddy will come back."
Enen nodded seriously: "Yes! I will always be very obedient!"
Looking at her sensible daughter, Tong Nian'an suddenly felt so sad that she almost cried.
When taking Enen back, the little guy entered the elevator and fell asleep leaning on Tong Nianan's shoulder. After settling Enen, Tong Nianan sat in front of the computer and had a video call with John.
When the screen showed John's mature and elegant face, his first words were: "Ann, I'm sorry."
She naturally knew what he was referring to. She shook her head. That was no longer important: "I want to talk to you about the company. The signing was successful. Do you have anything else to explain?"
"No, I can give you and Enen the rest of the time to have fun in Shanghai."
"No, I want to go back to France the day after tomorrow."
...........
The lights in the room were all turned off, and Mu Jingxi lay quietly on the bed in a daze. What happened between him and Xia Xuechen seemed to be true. She knew him very well and could learn many habits that even he himself had forgotten.
However, all night long, he tried hard to remember every bit of their past. After trying for a long time, he still came up blank.
He felt very sorry, whether it was to her, to himself, or...
His head was a little heavy, and he turned sideways and told himself not to think about it anymore. When he came back in the evening, he opened another room. He gave his original room to Xia Xuechen. He was not used to sharing a room with a stranger, at least she was still important to him now.
Very strange.
For some reason, Mu Jingxi suddenly thought of Enen, thought of her looking at him expectantly at the door, and thought of the look in his eyes when he went to play with them, and Mu Jingxi felt a little uncomfortable. He refused neatly, but he couldn't.
feeling bad.
In the darkness, he sat up and laughed to himself.
When did he start caring about a child's invitation?
He didn't sleep well all night, thinking about too many things in his mind. Early in the morning, Mu Jingxi got up and knocked on Tong Nian'an's door, but there was no one inside.
A waiter walked by and politely told him that he saw Tong Nianan and Enen going to have dinner.
He walked into the restaurant and saw two people not far away at a glance.
Enen took a sip of milk and looked up to see Mu Jingxi walking towards them. She hurriedly pulled Tong Nian'an's arm: "Mommy, look!"
The moment Tong Nian'an raised his head, the figure had been suppressed. He smiled like a gentleman: "Ladies, can I sit across from you?"
"Of course!" Enen said seriously with a childish voice.
As expected, he sat down unceremoniously. Tong Nian'an's face turned a little gloomy: "Mr. Mu is alone today?"
Mu Jingxi smiled: "I am alone."
"Where are your female companions?" She asked very openly, not asking about the girlfriend, but the female companion, because she knew Mu Jingxi, he never lacked women around him, but he never said those were his girlfriends
.
Even when she was with him, he didn't seem to tell the outside world that she was his girlfriend.
He calls her - sexual partner.
Ha, that's what happened.
But the smile on the face of the man in front of him faded away. He was obviously a little unhappy, and his words sank: "This is my private matter. It seems that it is not Miss Ann's place to interfere."
She apologized politely: "I'm sorry, Mr. Mu." Tong Nian'an picked up a tissue and wiped the corners of Enen's mouth, "Have you eaten? We will go back to the room after eating."
She stood up with Enen, and Mu Jingxi suddenly said: "Enen, can uncle take you to the Oriental Pearl Tower today?"
Tong Nian'an was surprised, Enen shook his head and said, "But we went there last night."
Mu Jingxi smiled charmingly: "The scenery at night is different from that during the day. There is beauty in the daytime. How do you know if you don't go up and see?"
Enen was moved and asked with a smile: "Really?"
"Really, I never lie to people."
Enen shook Tong Nian'an's hand: "Mommy, let's go then!"
"Yeah, we still..."
"Will Miss Ann stay in China for too long? Wouldn't such a small wish satisfy her?" Mu Jingxi hit the nail on the head and hit Tong Nian'an's pain.
A small wish...
She knew that Enen's biggest wish was to reunite with her daddy. If her daddy was right in front of her, would she really want to stop such a small thing?
After keeping her eyes open for a long time, she finally nodded.
...........
There were more tourists during the day than at night. Tong Nian'an held Enen's hand tightly to prevent her from getting lost. Enen rushed to the glass window and looked outside for a while. She suddenly looked up at Mu Jingxi beside her.
, the little hand held his hand.
In her memory, the little girl looked like this when she came in last night, holding mommy's hand in one hand and daddy's in the other. Although she knew that this uncle was not her daddy, this feeling was very good.
happy.
Mu Jingxi's heart trembled suddenly at that moment. The child's little hand was soft and warm. He held it unconsciously and suddenly felt an urge to hug her. He glanced at Tong Nian'an unconsciously and saw
Her expression was always cold. He resisted the impulse and lowered his voice and said, "Miss Ann and your husband have separated?"
Tong Nian'an's eyes tightened, and she gave him a cold look: "What do you want to say?"
He frowned: "It seems that man is sorry for you. You won't tell Enen that her father is dead?" Every time she mentioned her husband, he knew from her angry look that she should hate that man very much.
.That day she clearly said that this was her private matter that he could not interfere with, but he didn't know why he just wanted to know.
Tong Nian'an's voice was cold: "I hope he is dead!"
