The time sequence has entered midsummer, and the blazing sunlight penetrates the leaf tips of the kapok tree, sifting down pieces of gold. The sound of summer cicadas chirping from time to time can be heard from the corner of the courtyard. In the evening, the clouds on the horizon are gorgeous and colorful, and the whole world seems to be covered with clouds.
Covered with a layer of red gauze, the Li family's villa is also colorful and beautiful under the glow of the glow.
In this quiet moment, there should have been a warm atmosphere, but suddenly the cry of a child came from the courtyard.
"Wow...wuwu..."
After hearing the sound, the adults were all startled, looked at each other, and ran out in a hurry.
In the garden, next to the high swing frame, a little girl fell to the ground, wailing as if she had been greatly frightened, her little head hanging low, feeling extremely wronged, and next to her, another person
A more petite girl stood aside.
This little girl is incredibly beautiful. Her pink and white face is crystal clear, and her facial features are very bright, especially her big, watery eyes. The corners of her eyes are slightly turned up. The eyeballs are pure black, without any hint of black.
The impurities are as clear as crystal, and the eyelashes are long and dense, as beautiful as a Barbie doll.
She folded her arms around her chest and looked at the little girl who fell to the ground crying, her delicate little chin raised proudly, like a queen.
"Chenchen! What's wrong?!" Li Jiaqi ran over and picked up the crying little girl on the ground.
"Woo... Wuwu... Mom... Mom..." Chenchen cried so hard that she couldn't even finish her words.
"Li Huanyan, what have you done again?!" Hu Dieren arrived before he could say anything, walking slowly with his belly bulging high. She was probably about five months pregnant.
Due to her pregnancy, she looked a little fatter than before, but her facial features were as beautiful as ever. The little girl named Li Huanyan's eyebrows were very similar to hers.
"Mom..." Xiao Huanyan's long eyelashes fluttered twice, she put down her little hands, and stood obediently. A hint of cunning flashed in her beautiful eyes. She looked very smart, but also very naughty.
"You bullied Sister Chenchen again, right?!" Hu Die narrowed his eyes. He was already familiar with his daughter's bad behavior and knew it without asking.
Xiao Huanyan rolled her eyes in a big circle, pouted, and refused to admit it.
At this time, Li Hongtao also came closer. Today, he has more wrinkles on his face and a few more gray hairs on his head. However, his body is stronger than before and he looks in good spirits.
"Woooo...Grandpa, she pushed me!" Chenchen broke free from Li Jiaqi's arms, pointed her little finger at Li Huanyan and complained to Li Hongtao.
"Huh?!" Li Hongtao looked at his granddaughter.
"Grandpa, it was she who scolded me first!" Not to be outdone, Xiao Huanyan's beautiful eyes widened and her cheeks bulged. She looked very untouchable, but she was so cute that people couldn't help but laugh.
Want to love her.
"I didn't scold you!" Chenchen yelled angrily.
"When you scold my mother, you are scolding me!" Xiao Huanyan yelled back angrily, "You call my mother a bad woman! You are the bad boy! Humph!"
"That's what my mother called her. What's wrong?!" Chenchen was still too young and had no ability to distinguish right from wrong. She just followed Li Jiaqi's words.
Everyone was stunned. Li Jiaqi was embarrassed by his daughter's childish words. Li Hongtao's face darkened, helpless and embarrassed. From the bottom of his heart, of course he favored his daughter, but his daughter-in-law had already given birth.
He was given a granddaughter, and there was still one in her belly, so he couldn't be partial. Hu Die was angry and laughed at the same time. She had been married into the Li family for several years, and Li Jiaqi had always been at loggerheads with her. He was really persistent!
Xiao Huanyan curled her lips, then moved her body in front of Li Jiaqi, raised her head, and said, "Auntie, you have to educate Sister Chenchen well. She has done something wrong herself, and she still relies on you. It's simply ridiculous.
The crime is aggravated! It’s hateful, isn’t it? You must make her stand for a long time when you go back!”
Li Jiaqi was so embarrassed that he couldn't even nod or shake his head.
"Auntie, you must not be soft-hearted. My mother said that misbehaving children must be strictly disciplined!"
"Aunt, if you can't do it, then I'll tell my uncle. We are all relatives, so you don't need to thank me too much!"
"Auntie, you have to ask her to write a self-criticism!"
"besides……"
"That's enough, Li Huanyan, come here!" Hu Die really couldn't listen any more, otherwise she would have laughed on the spot, this little devil, this little troublemaker!
"Mom, I haven't finished speaking yet..." Xiao Huanyan protested nonstop.
"If you still want to fly a kite, just be good!" Hu Die successfully shut up Xiao Huanyan with one sentence, and a big smile appeared on her beautiful face. Her favorite father promised her to take her with him after get off work. Let’s fly a kite together, oh yeah, long live!
But--
"Mom, dad is so slow, why aren't you back yet?!" Xiao Huanyan was impatient with waiting, her pretty little face was a little angry, her dad unexpectedly broke the appointment, it was already a long time after get off work time, and there was still no sign of him.
"Mom..." she drew out her voice, her baby voice soft.
Hu Die deliberately ignored her and read through an accounting book. Because of her successive pregnancies, she still had three ACCA exams to take. Taking advantage of the fact that she is not too heavy now, she should seize the time to study more until next year.
You can continue taking the exam.
"Mom is so annoying and ignores me!" Xiao Huanyan pouted.
Hu Die glanced at her daughter softly and couldn't help but touch her pink face, "You are so busy all day long, fighting with Chenchen and being angry with your aunt, why do you need me to care about you?"
"I didn't mean it, I was protecting my mother!" Xiao Huanyan was very troubled. Although their family was small, they had a lot of things to do. Her aunt always made trouble for her mother. Before she was pregnant with her brother, her mother would also follow her.
The aunt competed with her, and she was no match for her mother every time. But since she had a younger brother, for the sake of her health, her mother stopped paying attention to her. She was so angry that her aunt had no place to get angry, so she went to her grandfather to complain at every turn.
She also led Sister Chenchen into trouble. As her mother’s beautiful daughter, of course she had to defend her mother. Besides, she also had her father backing her up!
There was a smile on Hu Die's beautiful face, "Yes, yes, little Huanyan knows how to care for her mother best, and she loves you the most!"
"That's weird!" Xiao Huanyan curled her lips, "You obviously love daddy the most!"
Hey, there is a little food chain in her home. Her father loves her the most, she worries about her mother the most, and her mother loves her father the most!
"Really, why hasn't dad come back yet?!" Xiao Huanyan pursed her lips, couldn't help but become anxious, and even stamped her feet.
Hu Die chuckled lightly, put down the accounting book in his hand, took his daughter's little hand, and comforted her, "Dad didn't break the appointment on purpose, it's because his company has a big customer temporarily, and he has to negotiate business with the customer and sign a contract with the other party.
, make money to support you, dad is very capable, right?!"
"That's right!" Xiao Huanyan thought for a while and then curled her lips. Her mother was right. Her father was very powerful, handsome, and good at making money. He was also very good to the whole family. She admired her father so much!
However, adoration is adoration, and she still felt unhappy about breaking the appointment!
"If dad doesn't come back before seven o'clock, I won't give him a good night kiss tonight, hum!" Xiao Huanyan crossed her arms again, looking like a queen.
"But Daddy won't be able to sleep without a goodnight kiss from Xiao Huanyan. What should I do?" A gentle male voice sounded not far behind him.
"Dad is back! Dad -" Xiao Huanyan moved quickly, stood up suddenly, and rushed towards Li Yuanhang. He was still so handsome and elegant, his dark hair was slightly longer than before, and some of his indifferent lines were softened.
Because...he has a little princess to pamper.
"Huanhuan." When Xiao Huanyan rushed towards her, he bent down and held her in his arms, then stood up and stroked her small back with his big hands very gently.
"Yes!" Xiao Huanyan nodded vigorously. Only her father in the whole family would call her "Huanhuan", which made her feel so pampered!
"Huanhuan, have you been good today?!" His gentle voice sounded in Xiao Huanyan's ears, making her tickle and want to laugh.
"It's strange that she is good." Hu Die approached with a big belly and glanced at Li Yuanhang with a smile.
He looked at her. It was sunset time, and the glow was just right, rendering half of the sky colorful. With the sun behind her, her beautiful face was slightly blurred in the light and shadow, but the afterglow of the setting sun coated her whole body with a layer of softness.
The soft light makes the surrounding green grass shine brightly.
The two of them exchanged a knowing look, with a warm look in their dark eyes. He held Xiao Huanyan in one hand, and put his arm around her waist with the other. He carefully passed his arm from behind to the front, gently covered her belly with his big palm, and asked again,
"What about this? Is he good?"
She smiled silently and gently leaned her head on his shoulder, and the two hugged each other happily.
In the western sky, the sunset is bright and beautiful, and the rays of light cover the earth, cutting out the shadow of a happy family on the ground.
◎◎◎
Time flies by so fast, summer comes and autumn comes, autumn comes and winter solstice comes, and in a blink of an eye, it’s the end of the year again, and a new wave of cold wave hits.
Su Shenxing finished several trips and left the office at 8:50 pm.
He turned off the lights, locked the door, and also locked the room of honor.
The desk, bookcases, and walls are filled with medals he has won in the past few years, including the "Legislative Yuan" Best Newcomer Award, the "Executive Yuan" First Class Merit Medal, the Eisenhower Award, and the Best "Finance Minister" in Asia.
etc.
However, no amount of honors is as satisfying as going home and having a hot dinner.
After leaving the office building, he was about to pick up the car, but he found that it started to rain at some point. Thin raindrops floated densely from the sky, as dense as needles, not big, but hazy enough. He subconsciously relaxed.
He loosened his tie. He didn't bring an umbrella. Now he could only hope that the rain wouldn't continue to rain heavily.
"A Xing——" A soft female voice suddenly came from the left direction.
He heard the voice and walked over, only to see Wen Jing walking towards him holding an umbrella. Her slender calves were soaked by the rain, which showed that she had been waiting for a long time. He stepped forward to greet him. She was afraid that he would get wet, so she hurriedly ran closer and took a closer look.
Next, he noticed that her plain face was a little pale and her lips had lost their color.
"Why don't you come up to me when you're here?!" He quickly took off his coat and wrapped it around her body.
"I'm afraid it will have a bad impact." He is now a rising star in politics, and many pairs of eyes are watching his every move. Although she is his wife, she cannot just show up in his office. After all, that is where the financial department works.
Su Shenxing understood her thoughts and how thoughtful she was for him, but this made his chest hurt.
Through his personal experience in the past few years, he has truly seen the ups and downs in the political arena. On the surface, he has risen steadily, but in fact it is a difficult battle. He sings praises, gossips, and curses in black letters. What is he?
He has been through it all, and is aware of the ups and downs of human relationships, but he persisted for several years, just to find the person who hired the murderer to kill his grandfather. He could face everything with strength, but he felt wronged for her.
When he was running for Finance Minister, his opponent's staff team actually put their minds on her because she had worked at the Deutsche Bundesbank in Frankfurt, Germany, but she only stayed there for a while and then hurriedly returned to China. That is what many people dream of.
Opportunity, she resigned so easily and was smeared as a donation to abscond. He was angry at this for nothing. He knew why she returned to China, it was for him.
During that time, she was under a lot of pressure, but she comforted him in turn, saying that it was just a conspiracy by his opponent in the election. Only if he worked hard and defeated his opponent would she be proud and proud.
In the face of public opinion, she did not back down and went to work and class normally. After he recovered, she applied to teach at Taipei University of Technology. Regarding the choice of school, she also screened it for him. Of course, Taipei University of Technology is not as good as National Taiwan University or National Cheng Kung University.
Chiao Tung University is so famous, but as a school that specializes in producing Taiwanese entrepreneurs, HKUST is definitely the best. She went to teach there to accumulate contacts for him.
How could he not understand how good she was to him? Every little bit, everything she did was for him.
But what he could give her was too little, so little that even for a meal, she had to adapt to his taste.
After his lung injury, he needed to pay a lot of attention to his diet. He needed to eat bland food and even reduce his salt intake. However, she always accompanied him to eat those tasteless foods.
He took off the scarf around his neck and wrapped it around her neck, "Don't catch a cold."
She quickly stopped his movement, returned his scarf, and wrapped it around him again, so that his body would be less likely to catch cold.
He took the umbrella from her hand and held her cold little hand with his warm big hand. The warmth of his palm spread to her hand, and the palm of her hand was warmed by his cover.
They were all silent, breathing quietly, and the breath they exhaled from their mouths turned into a white mist, which became even more hazy in the cool rainy night.
After a while, it was still a nice male voice with a low and slightly hoarse tone, which made people feel very comfortable. "Let's go out to eat tonight, okay?!"
"Okay." She smiled, she would never object to his suggestions.
The car slowly left the office building and turned into a more prosperous street. The festival has not yet arrived, but the shops on both sides of the street have already hung up colorful ribbons. The colorful lights flashed and went out. Except that it didn't snow,
The smell of winter on the streets of Taipei is already very strong.
Due to the weather, there weren't many people or cars on the road, and the city's neon lights were twinkling. She sat next to him, relying and trusting.
We drove to the famous Shilin Night Market. Shilin Night Market has a wide range of snacks from all over the country. The famous oyster omelette, pancakes wrapped in small pancakes, Shilin sausages, stir-fried flower branches, frog eggs, etc. are all Taiwanese favorites.
There are also a lot of spicy hot pots and Korean barbecue.
They stopped in front of a chain hot pot restaurant. Wen Jing blinked suspiciously, "A Xing, the doctor said you can't eat spicy food..."
"It's been a long time since I've eaten. I really want you to come in with me and sit down, eh?!"
She was startled. He had already unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car. As if he was afraid that she would refuse to go in, he strode directly into the store. He didn't look back until the waiter arranged the table.
she.
"Come in!" His eyes were clear and gentle.
Her heartstrings tugged, and her chest was suddenly filled with indescribable warmth. He stood there quietly, proud, firm, and majestic. He stretched out his hand towards her, like a call for love.
Her heart was filled to the brim by him at this moment. In addition to being moved, it was even more sweet. She just wanted to look at him like this, hold his arm, and just want to be in his arms.
She ran up quickly and took his arm affectionately, her cheeks pink.
"What's wrong?!"
"nothing."
He smiles.
She smiles too.
They sat by the window, with a hot pot in the middle of the table. The mist filled their eyes, and the spicy smell filled their noses.
"It's ready to eat." He picked up a piece of mutton and handed it to her.
She leaned forward, bit his chopsticks, rolled the piece of meat dipped in spicy sauce into her mouth, chewed it, her eyes lit up, "It's delicious!"
"Then eat more." He wiped the corners of her mouth gently.
The sweet taste melted in her heart, every fiber in her body seemed to be trembling, and her eyes were particularly sensitive.
Outside the window, the misty rain stopped, the dark clouds slowly dispersed, the stars lit up, and silently, the clouds opened and the moon shone brightly.
When the hot pot reached the bottom, she was still reluctant to put down her chopsticks, raised her eyes to look at him, and asked hopefully, "A Xing, can we come here more often in the future?!"
Staring at him with expectant eyes, her breathing was tight. She only saw a smile on his face, but she shook her head, "I'm afraid not."
The smile on her lips froze, and disappointment appeared in her eyes.
He sighed quietly, stood up and walked towards her from the opposite side, sat beside her, put his hands on her slender shoulders, and whispered with shining eyes, "Pregnant women don't seem to be suitable for eating spicy food."
"Pregnant woman?!" She was stunned.
"I have a month off, how about we have a baby during this time?!" He made a sweet suggestion.
Her face suddenly blushed, had she finally waited for him, waited for his love, and waited for his heart?
All she wanted and wanted was that she could make him happy, and finally, she did it.
"Let's have a daughter, a cute little girl like you who can blush easily."
"I don't blush all the time!"
Waiting may become a habit.
Waiting to be understood is lonely.
Waiting to be understood is happiness.
Those fresh and timeless words are so beautiful. When the scenery is clear, maybe you will accompany me to watch the long flowing water.
In life, isn't it the person you are waiting for who can accompany you to watch the long flow of water?!
Cherish what you have at the moment.
Thousands of words, all in silence.
◎◎◎
one year later.
Su Shenxing and Wen Jing's daughter was born, named Su Qianyu.
Su Qianyu was born at one o'clock in the morning, in the dead of night and when she was having a good dream. But the little baby girl didn't care about that. She had to be born at this time. After being carried out of the delivery room by the nurse, she was still crying.
non-stop.
Su Shenxing has always been calm and restrained, Wen Jing is gentle and calm, but their daughter has a genetic mutation and has been crying since she was born. Her loud crying almost woke up the entire hospital.
When everyone rushed to the hospital, their faces were still sleepy. When the little baby girl cried like this, they suddenly became energetic. Only Rong Rong was the exception. He sat on a chair in the corridor, folded his arms, lowered his head and worked hard.
Go to sleep, he will represent the school in the Olympics tomorrow!
The little baby girl seemed to be deliberately against him, crying even harder!
(There will be an update tomorrow, the finale and the final chapter!)
