On Zhuo's mother's birthday, Zhuo Xi gave her the latest handbag that he and Qin Manli chose together. Zhuo's mother nodded as soon as she saw it: "Is it Manli's vision?"
Zhuo Xi smiled.
"I knew it right away. Zhuoxi, Manli is a very good child. She gets along well with you. Your father and I also like her very much. Have you ever thought about further development?" Zhuo's mother said.
Qin Manli had dated other people before. Zhuo's mother was disappointed for a while when she learned that she was in love. Unexpectedly, she became single again later. In the final analysis, it was because she was thinking about Zhuo Xi. Zhuo's mother was already disappointed again.
Spark hope.
"Mom, why do you bring this up every now and then?" Zhuo Xi said dissatisfied.
"How old are you? How could I not mention it? Even if you are not in a hurry, Manli is a girl and there is no time to delay. You must hurry up. There are many men chasing her. Don't regret it then." Zhuo's mother said
said.
"I know, I know it well." Zhuo Xi said perfunctorily.
He has now bought his own house and does not live with his parents. The biggest reason is that he does not want to listen to their nagging. He is more mature than before and understands that many things need to be grasped by himself. When answering Zhuo's mother, his
I have already made up my mind: No matter what, I must bring Lin Anxin back!
"Why didn't you bring Manli with you? I invited her last time," Zhuo's mother said.
Qin Manli originally wanted to come, but she hoped that Zhuo Xi would invite her in person. However, Zhuo Xi was afraid that Zhuo's mother would use the opportunity of her birthday to bring them together, so she avoided it, and would not dare to invite her. Qin Manli would not be able to blame herself when she saw this.
It was boring, so I just found an excuse not to go.
It was already too late after celebrating Zhuo's mother's birthday. Zhuo Xi drove home. He didn't want to go back to an empty house where he would always be alone.
Now he knew that somewhere in this city, Lin Anxin was there. There was a warmth in his heart, and he suddenly had an urge to see her.
He waited for her call all day, but still didn't call. Zhuo Xi understood that Lin Anxin was avoiding him.
He dialed Zhou Xiaoshuang's phone number.
Zhou Xiaoshuang was playing a game with Xixi, losing one game after another. He was so angry that he couldn't help but slap Xixi on the head: "I'm pregnant, and you won't let me go. If you make me unhappy, you'll move."
What should I do if I have fetal air?”
Xixi was not to be outdone: "You want to be a mother but you still want your children to let you go. How can you set an example for your son in the future!"
When Zhou Xiaoshuang heard this, he immediately asked with a smile: "How did you know he was a son?" It is said that children are very smart. If they say a boy, it will be a boy, and if they say a girl, it will be a girl. Zhou Xiaoshuang feels that if he wants to gain a foothold in a wealthy family,
The first priority is to give birth to a son for them, so the pressure will be much less.
Xixi said without thinking: "You must have a son. You have such a bad temper. It would be miserable if you gave birth to a daughter like you..."
So Zhou Xiaoshuang's smile that just bloomed froze there.
Lin Anxin just walked out of the bathroom after washing her hair. Hearing this, he criticized Xixi: "Xixi, how can you say that about your Aunt Zhou?"
"That's right, An Xin, take good care of your son!" Seeing Lin An An's arrival, Zhou Xiaoshuang hurriedly pulled her to his side.
"Isn't it right? I'm just telling the truth. As a mother, you have to be strong. If you can't bear the truth, what will you do if you encounter trouble in the future?" Xixi said, "My mother took care of me back then.
I suffered a lot."
Lin Anxin said: "That's right, Xiaoshuang, you should try your best to become stronger."
"Why are you so helpless?" Zhou Xiaoshuang said dissatisfied.
Lin Anxin raised her eyes lightly: "I have always had no position. Did you only know that on the first day?"
"You... huh, you mother and son are working together to bully me. I... I'm going to find Lan Shen! Husband..." Just as Zhou Xiaoshuang was howling like a ghost and going to fetch reinforcements, the phone suddenly rang.
Zhou Xiaoshuang ignored it and walked directly to the room. The phone rang for a long time and no one answered it. Lin Anxin had no choice but to pick up Zhou Xiaoshuang's cell phone.
The caller ID written on the phone read: "Handsome Leader."
Handsome leader?
Lin Anxin suddenly remembered her name "Be careful" that she saw on Yin Haoze's cell phone. I wonder who this handsome leader is. Is he the office partner that Zhou Xiaoshuang secretly had a crush on during work? That would be breaking news.
Thinking of this, she pressed the answer button.
"Hello."
Zhuo Xi originally thought it would be Zhou Xiaoshuang who answered, but couldn't help but be startled when he heard that familiar and gentle voice.
Lin Anxin subconsciously thought that his voice was heard by Zhou Xiaoshuang's crush, so he didn't speak for a long time, so he quickly said: "Can you find Xiaoshuang? She has something to do now and she didn't bring her phone. Can I call you?"
Zhuo Xi felt very sad. Didn't Zhou Xiaoshuang's mobile phone show that this was his phone number? They were colleagues and friends, how could that be possible? Besides, this number was the number he had always used, how could Lin Anxin not notice it?
Her unfamiliar tone of voice hurt Zhuo Xi's heart deeply. He really wanted to pinch her chin and ask her why she did this to him.
"It's me..." Zhuo Xi couldn't help but said solemnly.
Lin Anxin was about to call Zhou Xiaoshuang, but stopped immediately when she heard Zhuo Xi's voice.
"It's me, An Xin." Zhuo Xi repeated, "I'm Zhuo Xi, can't you tell?"
Lin Anxin quickly walked to the balcony and whispered into the phone: "Why is it you..."
Handsome leader, Zhuo Xi is indeed a handsome leader, Zhou Xiaoshuang is such a nympho!
"Don't you know my number?" Zhuo Xi said sadly.
"I... didn't pay attention to the number just now. I only looked at the caller ID, which didn't show your name..." Lin Anxin said and quickly changed the subject, "What's the matter?"
"I want to see you." Zhuo Xi said it crisply.
Before that, he was always gentle and not overbearing towards Lin Anxin. He often missed opportunities because he thought too much. For example, when they met last time, he didn't insist on asking her for her phone number, so today he had to find her through Zhou Xiaoshuang's phone number.
.
"Now?" Lin Anxin said in surprise.
"Yes, now!"
"It's too late now, let's wait another day..."
Before Lin Anxin could finish her words, she was interrupted by Zhuo Xi: "I will go to your house now and wait for you on the path in front of the villa." After that, he hung up the phone.
He didn't dare to listen anymore. He could almost guess that Lin Anxin would come up with various reasons to reject him. He was afraid of her rejection.
Lin Anxin walked out of the room absentmindedly. Xixi had already gone back to the room to sleep. Zhou Xiaoshuang and Lan Shi didn't know what intimate actions they were doing in the room. The huge living room was empty. Lin Anxin was extremely hesitant, should she go out?
This conflicting mood was just like that rainy night when Yin Haoze stood downstairs in the rain and insisted on waiting for her to see him.
However, the photos of that meeting were taken by someone interested and posted on the Internet, which indirectly affected my relationship with Zhuo Xi.
Everything seems to be happening again, should she walk out?
Lin Anxin was restless. After a while, she stood up and looked at the path outside the window. Sure enough, there was a car parked there. It was dark at night. She couldn't see clearly who was in the car, but she could almost feel the anxious look of Zhuo Xi looking towards it.
look.
She remembered an earlier time, eight years ago, on the path in front of her uncle's house. The young and impulsive Zhuo Xi stood alone under the shadow of the mottled trees, waiting for herself all day long, waiting for the cry of sadness and despair.
.
Lin Anxin felt a twinge in her heart. It seemed as if she had been letting Zhuo Xi wait endlessly for her all her life.
An impulse surged out of her heart. Lin Anxin took a deep breath and opened the door.
"An Xin? Where are you going?" Zhou Xiaoshuang's voice sounded from behind.
All Lin Anxin's impulses were interrupted by this voice, and she retracted silently: "It's nothing, it's just...why did you come out?"
Zhou Xiaoshuang said: "I forgot to bring my mobile phone. I am going to call my mother and tell them to go out two days early. Otherwise, they will be too tired because they are not in a hurry."
She was a heartless person, immersed in her own happiness, and did not notice anything strange about Lin Anxin.
"Oh. Here." Lin Anxin handed the phone to Zhou Xiaoshuang.
Zhou Xiaoshuang went back to his room: "You should go to bed early. I will accompany you to the wedding company tomorrow to see how their design is going."
"I know, go to bed quickly." Lin Anxin said pretending to be relaxed.
Everything returned to calm, and Lin Anxin's mood also calmed down. She felt that she could not go out anymore, she could not keep giving Zhuo Xi hope, and she could not give him results. Rather than letting him keep feeling lucky, it would be better to make him completely despair.
Lin Anxin made up her mind. She sat on the balcony of her room, looking at the lonely car under the street light, imagining what Zhuo Xi would be doing at the moment? Is it smoking lonely and resentful, or listening to songs sadly and alone? He must be
You may blame yourself for being cruel. After all these years, you still don't want to give him a chance.
She sat there and looked at him.
He sat in the car and waited for her.
They watched each other, but did not move towards each other.
One thought: "Zhuoxi, forget about me and find a woman who is truly worthy of your love."
A person said in his heart: "I will wait until you are willing to take the first step towards me."
That night, no one slept, and we cried silently until dawn.
Have you ever held on to rejection all night? From the time the sky was filled with stars until the sun rose?
Have you ever insisted on waiting all night? From the endless darkness of the night to the sky full of glow?
If you really try, you will know that no matter how cold-blooded the person is, they cannot persist to the end, let alone if they have feelings for each other.
In the early morning, when the first ray of light of the sun shone on the earth, Lin Anxin finally couldn't help but rush down the door and rushed to the car while everyone was still sleeping. She even had a glimmer of hope that Zhuo would be there at this time.
Xi was sleeping soundly, all she had to do was peek at him secretly.
But how could it be possible? He was destined to wait here for her to change his mind. The moment she walked out of the door with her excited body, his heart flew up. He suppressed the joy in his heart and got out of the car, waiting for her return with open arms.
.
Under the morning light, they hugged each other and held each other tightly.
