She believed that he heard everything and believed that he could understand why she and Rong Shaoze were unhappy.
Sitting on the bed, Xiao Cong looked at her, frowned, and asked tentatively: "Mom, don't you love dad anymore?"
Sure enough, he knew everything.
Lin Xinlan hugged him and whispered: "Of course mom loves dad, but there are some things that you don't understand when you are young. When you grow up, you will understand."
"Mom, you always say that I am still young and don't understand anything. But I understand. I know that you love dad, but do you also like that Uncle Qiao? Mom, Xiao Cong only knows that if you like dad, then
You can't like Uncle Qiao. Just like Xiao Cong, if Xiao Cong likes you and dad, he won't like other uncles and aunts."
Lin Xinlan's expression was slightly stagnant, she lowered her eyes and didn't know what to say.
"Xiao Cong, do you like dad very much?"
"Of course, Xiao Cong's favorite people are mom and dad. Mom, you only like dad, okay? I... don't want to see dad sad."
"Give mom some time, okay? Mom will handle this matter."
Xiao Cong nodded and said happily: "Then mom should handle it quickly."
"Yeah." Lin Xinlan smiled slightly.
During dinner, Rong Shaoze did not come back for dinner.
At the dinner table, Rong's mother looked very unhappy. She didn't say a word to Ruby Lin, and she didn't even look at her.
Ruby Lin's behavior was very normal, and she didn't care at all about her deliberate neglect.
Xiao Cong is very smart. He knows that grandma doesn't like his mother, so he keeps trying to please her, hoping that grandma will treat his mother better for the sake of him being well-behaved and sensible.
After dinner, Lin Xinlan accompanied Xiao Cong to do homework for a while, then went to the practice room to watch him practice.
Xiao Cong practices Qigong very seriously. Even with a simple basic movement, he has to be very skilled and perfect.
He loves kung fu very much and has been practicing for two hours without getting tired.
Lin Xinlan was worried that his body couldn't bear it, so she rushed him to take a bath and go to bed.
When Xiao Cong fell asleep, she returned to the bedroom and sat on the bed in a daze. Time passed little by little, and Rong Shaoze never came back.
In the end, she couldn't help it and dialed his phone number.
The call went through, but no one answered.
If he didn't answer, she kept calling.
After ringing three times, Rong Shaoze finally answered the phone.
The moment the phone call came through, both of them were silent and didn't speak.
Lin Xinlan was the first to break the silence and asked him in a low voice: "Where are you?"
"What's the matter?" the man asked in a low voice, his tone was calm and there was no trace of any disturbance.
"It's very late, when will you come back?" Lin Xinlan asked him softly.
The person on the other end was silent for a while, and then he said calmly: "I'll be back in a minute."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Lin Xinlan felt very uncomfortable. In just one day, they had already become so estranged from each other.
She knew she was bringing it upon herself, but if she didn't, what else could she do?
Not only he couldn't stand her appearance from now on, but even she herself couldn't stand it.
That kind of self is actually no different from a monster.
After taking a bath, Lin Xinlan lay on the bed and waited for Rong Shaoze to come back. He said he would be back in a while, but it was very late and he didn't come back.
I don't know how long it took, but Ruby Lin fell asleep in a daze.
In her dream, she dreamed that she had gray hair and became an old man.
