As soon as Qiao Raoruo entered the door, she changed her shoes, threw her bag, and ran into the room humming a little tune.
After entering the room, she quietly closed the door, then slyly opened the second drawer on the left side of her dressing table, and took out a small pink box from it.
Opening the lid of the box, there was a silver-white diamond ring lying inside, shining brightly under the light. She carefully took it out and put it on her finger.
The scene unconsciously shifted to a year ago. Outside the court door, the man put the ring in her hand and said, "I am indeed Qin Mujie, but I don't want this ring anymore. I'll give it to you."
Thinking of that scene, the girl smiled shyly unconsciously, and her originally blushing face turned into a pink cloud.
She always remembered him, the man who gave her the ring. Unexpectedly, a year later, she would meet him again. Not only did they sit and have dinner together, he also promised to go shopping with her!
It’s just——, the girl’s little face fell down, but he didn’t seem to remember her at all.
At this moment, the door to the room was suddenly pushed open, and a person walked in. Hearing the footsteps, Qiao Raoruo subconsciously put his hands behind his back.
"Daddy, why are you here?"
Qiao Guanli saw all this series of her little moves, smiled and said, "Okay, no need to hide it. I've seen that thing a long time ago..."
Rao Rao stomped his feet and shouted embarrassedly: "Daddy!"
Qiao Guanli shook his head, sat by the bed, and asked calmly: "Tell me, who gave this ring?"
Rao Rao took off the ring and put it into the box without saying a word.
"Is it the young man named Qin Muzhen today?" he probed.
"No!" Qiao Raoruo immediately denied it, answering too quickly, but it seemed more like he was asking for it.
"You still say no?" Qiao Guanli said: "Look at you in my office today. As soon as I saw his big, straight eyes, I guessed it was him."
"Do you like him?" Qiao Guanli asked directly.
Rao Rao pouted: "Daddy, you clearly know this, and you are still here to deliberately trick me?"
Qiao Guanli burst out laughing, folded his legs and said, "This young man Qin Muzhen, in terms of his own conditions, is indeed one of the best among the second generation businessmen I know. He is sincere and serious in his work, and his qualifications
Not bad, very capable. Although such a big thing happened to Di Sheng a year ago, I believe that with him here, we can definitely turn the danger into safety and develop better than before. But -" He paused: "He
There is a fatal flaw."
"What defect?" Rao Rao asked curiously.
"When it comes to relationships, he seems to never be able to do it. He is so ruthless in the mall. In other words, he is easily tied down by emotions and is an out-and-out love-struck person."
"That's good." Rao Rao squinted and smiled: "He is strong and decisive at work, but gentle and considerate when facing his wife. Such a husband is simply perfect."
Qiao Guanli reached out and pressed her forehead, feeling helpless: "Silly daughter, how do you know that you can become his infatuated person? If you can't occupy his heart, being with him will only waste your life.
"
"Occupy his heart?" Rao Rao murmured, confused for a while, and his eyes immediately burst out with determination: "Daddy, Rao Rao will definitely work hard to occupy his heart and become his infatuated person!"
Qiao Guanli smiled. His silly daughter didn't seem to understand. In matters of love, it's not that the more you pay, the more you gain. Many times, when it comes to the bottom line, it's just fate.
But since it is what she wants, he, as a father, will naturally try his best to help her. It's up to people to make things happen, and it's up to God to make things happen. The final result can only depend on the fate of these two young people.
He said: "Actually, I didn't intend to get involved in the matter of Emperor Sheng. So Qin Muzhen came to me these days, and I just pushed him away. Even he made a special trip to Ruihua today and waited for me for a whole day.
I didn’t intend to let him go for a day. Then it was because of you that I decided to give him a chance!”
"Daddy, you are so kind!" Rao Rao hugged his arm: "You know what I want to say before I even open my mouth."
He patted the back of her hand lovingly and said, "But that's all Daddy can do. The rest depends on your own efforts, but remember this sentence - strong melons are not sweet. If you work hard in the end
If you still can't get it, forget it. I, the daughter of Qiao Guanli, will never disdain to be so condescending as to betray her, you know?"
Butler Xu opened the door of Huyuan Villa for Qin Muzhen. Zuofengshan Villa was burned down a year ago. Although it was rebuilt later, most of the servants were dismissed because of Qin Hansheng's death. Only a few people were left behind.
Guarding the house over there.
Butler Xu had been taking care of Qin Hansheng since he was a child. After Qin Hansheng died, he seemed to have lost his backbone and was in a daze every day.
Qin Muzhen had always liked this kind-hearted old servant, so he took him back to Huyuan Villa. Every day at Huyuan Villa, hourly workers would come to clean the house, cook meals, and there would also be full-time servants who would pick up and drop off the obedient people.
So he stayed here, nominally working as a servant, but actually enjoying his old age.
Qin Muzhen took off his suit and asked, "Where's Guaiguai?"
"Back to the young master, Miss Guaiguai was picked up by Mrs. Ning in the afternoon. She ate and watched TV for a while and just went to bed."
"Okay." Qin Mujie rolled up his sleeves and said, "I'll go see her."
Unexpectedly, he had just taken two steps when Butler Xu stopped him: "Young Master."
"Huh?" Qin Mujue turned around and said, "What's wrong?"
"I always feel that Miss Guaiguai has changed a bit and is not very talkative." He hesitated and said, "Master, you should pay more attention to her when you have time. This child is very pitiful without a mother..."
Qin Mujie was silent for a moment: "I know."
Following the stairs to the second floor, he walked to the right and gently opened the door.
In a pink room with a fairy tale atmosphere, a small voice kept telling stories.
The room was very dark, with only one wall lamp turned on. The light shone softly, illuminating a cute little apple-like face. Beside the short square table, he sat obediently with his back to the door, holding a cup in his hand.
A fairy tale book. And right opposite her, there was a Winnie the Pooh doll that was even bigger than her.
"Once upon a time, there was a kid who was herding sheep, and he liked to lie... But one day, when the wolf really came, no one believed him anymore. So the kid who was herding sheep was pitifully eaten by the wolf...
"
She put down the book and asked seriously: "Baby Bear, are you also wondering why everyone doesn't believe in the child herding sheep? It's obvious that the wolf is really coming..."
"..." She was answered by silence.
She then said to herself: "I have asked Mommy the same question before, but she didn't answer me. Now I want to ask her again, but I can't find her..."
Qin Muzhao leaned against the door, and his heart suddenly trembled. Not only because of the well-behaved and sensible daughter in front of him, but also because of his long-term neglect.
Over the past year, most of his efforts have been focused on reorganizing Emperor Sheng. It seems that he has indeed neglected his daughter for a long time...
"Maybe I can give you the answer." He suddenly said.
She turned around in confusion. When she saw Qin Mujue behind her, her eyes lit up: "Daddy." She flicked the book and rushed over. Qin Mujue picked her up and said, "Why aren't you sleeping yet?"
Obediently hugged his neck and said softly: "If you can't sleep, get up and tell Xiongxiong a story."
He smiled and put his daughter on the bed: "It's so late, let's go to bed early. Be careful that you will have two black circles on your eyes tomorrow, which will be very ugly."
"Uh..." Guaiguai covered her eyes in fear.
He sat on a chair to the side and picked up the storybook she had just opened.
Guaiguai suddenly asked: "Daddy, why haven't you answered me yet?" She tilted her head: "Why doesn't everyone believe in the kid who is herding sheep? It's obvious that the wolf is really coming..."
Qin Mujie stopped and asked, "Will you believe him?"
Nod obediently.
He was surprised: "Why? He has obviously deceived people."
"But who hasn't deceived others? I often cheated the teacher into eating cakes in kindergarten. If because of this, no one wants to believe Guaguai or be friends with Guaguai, Guaguai is really pitiful."
He ruffled her hair: "You're right."
"Besides, many people lie, but they don't really want to deceive people. They..." She seemed to have something to say, but couldn't express it, waving her fists in confusion.
"They just hope that the person who was deceived can be happy." Qin Mujie responded.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Guaiguai suddenly understood and hit his head hard.
He stood up, tucked her in and said, "Okay, I understand the story, it's time to go to bed."
Guaiguai pulled up the quilt, lay down, and closed his eyes quietly. Then he suddenly opened his eyes: "Daddy, you will always be with Guaiguai, right?"
He folded his legs: "Go to sleep, daddy will always be by your side."
Then she calmed down and fell asleep quietly.
Twenty minutes later, the sound of even and shallow breathing came from the room, quiet and beautiful. He stood up, tucked his daughter into bed again, and then carefully walked out of the room.
The moment he closed the door, he remembered the conversation just now.
Some people lie, not intentionally to deceive others, they just hope that the person they are deceived can be happy.
Weaving lies one after another in order to make the other person happy? Sacrifice oneself for love, it’s okay not to want this kind of love.
