Xu Rongrong rubbed his eyes vigorously, and when he looked over again, he couldn't see anything anymore.
Everything just happened was like having a dream. After waking up from the dream, the only thing that can be found is the true feeling in my heart, and there is no trace of anything else.
The shadow of Pin Ruiyun came to her mind again. Just now, she seemed to see Pin Ruiyun standing behind a tree, sneering at the car driving towards her with a beautiful face.
Is Pin Ruiyun guiding all of this? Is she scaring her? Why? Just because she kicked her out during the day?
When Xu Rongrong thought about it carefully, she felt that her idea was too crazy. Pin Ruiyun did not seem to be the kind of cruel and ruthless woman.
Or is it because she doesn't like Pin Ruiyun, so she subconsciously thinks she wants to harm her? She imagines Pin Ruiyun as a cruel and ruthless woman?
Xu Rongrong's fear of cars slowly disappeared, but she began to fear herself again.
How terrifying would it be if she really turned into a poor persecutory delusional patient?
"Young lady!"
Xu Rongrong's thoughts were pulled back by a call. She followed the source of the sound and looked over. The driver drove the car back again.
"Young madam, my madam said that the mountain road is not safe at night, so she asked me to come back to pick you up. Get in the car." The driver said, "Major General Zhan seems to be staying at home tonight to accompany the young master."
Hearing this, Xu Rongrong felt mixed emotions, but finally got in the car and went home.
When she got out of the car at the door of her house, she heard a burst of laughter before she even entered the house, including her grandfather's and Liang Shuxian's. Among them, Tianning's laughter was the loudest and clearest.
Needless to say, everyone must have been amused by the ghost Tianning again.
Xu Rongrong walked to the door and saw the whole family playing with Tianning. The atmosphere was harmonious and enjoyable.
Zhan Yiyang noticed Xu Rongrong first and looked towards the door. Xu Rongrong looked at him blankly and struggled to smile at him. However, the smile at the corner of his mouth disappeared little by little, and his eyes were covered with indifference again.
It was as if Xu Rongrong was the person he hated most in his life.
The smile on Xu Rongrong's face was drowned by the sadness welling up in her heart. After all, she still couldn't maintain that smile, and her heart was filled with misery.
How great would it be if Zhan Yiyang didn't forget her?
In that case, he would come up to her, hold her hand, and kiss her face or lips when no one was paying attention. There would be a familiar smile on her face, not such indifference.
Others also noticed Xu Rongrong. Looking at her, the laughter in the living room suddenly disappeared bit by bit.
Xu Rongrong suddenly felt that she was the redundant one and she should not come back.
"Okay." Grandpa Zhan stood up, "It's getting late, Tianning, you should go take a shower and go to bed."
The Zhan family is a military family, and the family's schedule is very regular. Xiao Tianning has also developed this habit since he was a child. He stood up obediently and saluted Zhan Yiyang like an obedient little soldier under Grandpa Zhan.
A military salute: "Yes, chief!" But when he turned around, Zhan Yiyang was stuck to him like a gummy candy, "Dad, can you take me to take a bath?"
"..." Zhan Yiyang had never bathed the child, but the child's eyes were shining with bright anticipation. He couldn't refuse. He nodded and picked up Tianning. Before going upstairs, he glanced at Xu Rongrong.
Xu Rongrong was still standing there blankly, and Zhan Yilin came over and said, "Dasou, go up and help the elder brother. It's his first time bathing Tianning, so he must have no experience." The voice suddenly became quieter, "Take the opportunity to talk to the elder brother.
Talk about it carefully, you have to believe in your relationship four years ago!"
"Yeah." Xu Rongrong smiled lightly and went upstairs.
Tianning has his own small room, and his clothes, toys, etc. are also in his room. Xu Rongrong knows that Zhan Yiyang, a grown man, definitely doesn't know how to prepare clothes for his children before taking a bath, so he enters Tianning's room.
I took my pajamas and went back to my room.
When he opened the door, he could hear the laughter of the father and his son coming out of the unlocked bathroom. Xu Rongrong suddenly didn't know whether he should cry or be satisfied.
Zhan Yiyang forgot about her, wanted to divorce her, looked at her with indifferent eyes, and no longer regarded himself as her husband. But at least, he was willing to play the role of father, and he was willing to give Tianning fatherly love.
It's time to be satisfied, right? Although Zhan Yiyang disappointed her, he didn't let Tianning down.
Xu Rongrong's eyes were a little hot. She suppressed the urge to cry and walked to the bathroom.
Tianning was lying in the bathtub, constantly pouring water on Zhan Yiyang with his hands. Zhan Yiyang ducked with his head lowered and scolded without any trace of anger: "Stop it." Even the helplessness in his voice was evident.
With a touch of pampering.
Xu Rongrong's tears could no longer be controlled and suddenly slipped down...
"Stop making trouble", these three words, Zhan Yiyang often said to her four years ago, and the tone was exactly the same as now.
He is obviously still him, why should he forget her?
"Mother!"
Tianning noticed Xu Rongrong and shouted. Xu Rongrong wiped away his tears before Zhan Yiyang looked over and walked over, "Tianning, stop playing, get up and put on clothes, be careful of catching a cold." It was already autumn, the air in City A was
It has become cold, and children may catch a cold if they are not careful.
But it was the first time that Tianning enjoyed the treatment of being given a bath by her father, and her mood was a little high. In her excitement, she couldn't hear Xu Rongrong's words and continued to make trouble.
"Tian Ning!" Xu Rongrong's tone was a little harsh unconsciously.
"..." Little Tianning has been very sensible since she was a child. She knows nothing to do to make her mother angry. When she heard Xu Rongrong's unhappy tone, she immediately stopped and stood up, looking at Xu Rongrong with an expression of acknowledgment. The aggrieved look made people feel very distressed.
.
Zhan Yiyang felt distressed and looked at Xu Rongrong displeased, "I'm giving Tianning a bath, why did you come in? Get out!"
With an indifferent expression and merciless driving, Xu Rongrong's grievance overwhelmed his strength, and tears finally fell from his eyes uncontrollably.
She often heard people say that Zhan Yiyang was strict with his subordinates, ruthless, and a living iceberg. But four years ago, she could not imagine it, because Zhan Yiyang almost never spoke to her in a heavier tone, even when he was extremely angry.
, and won’t yell at her.
But today, she clearly felt his indifference and ruthlessness. The feeling was as painful as a heartache.
"Mom..." Xiao Tianning stepped out of the bathtub, walked over and took Xu Rongrong's hand, looking at her with a guilty expression, "Mom, I'm sorry."
Zhan Yiyang was stunned. He didn't expect the child to react like this. This child was more sensible than he imagined and felt sorry for his mother.
Xu Rongrong felt even more sad, so he grabbed a bath towel and squatted down, wrapping Tian Ning in it to prevent the child from catching a cold.
Tianning stretched out her hand and helped Xu Rongrong wipe away the tears on Xu Rongrong's face little by little.
Zhan Yiyang stood aside and watched all this with cold eyes.
Xu Rongrong met Zhan Yiyang's indifferent gaze, as if his whole body was frozen, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. The only warm place was his cheek, and that warmth came from Xiao Tianning's palm.
Many years ago, whenever she shed tears, Zhan Yiyang would wipe away her tears with his rough fingertips. The temperature on his palms was as warm as Tianning. She can still remember it clearly after all these years.
But now, she was crying, and he was watching with cold eyes.
Xu Rongrong suddenly realized that she was no longer a treasure held by Zhan Yiyang, unless she could make Zhan Yiyang remember her.
But now, she should push back all the tears and solve the matter in front of her.
Thinking about it, Xu Rongrong took a deep breath, stood up, and looked at Zhan Yiyang: "Put Tianning's pajamas on the bed outside. Let's take him out and put them on."
After saying that, Xu Rongrong turned around and left the bathroom.
Zhan Yiyang walked over, picked up his son, went back to the bedroom, and put himself on the bed. Only then did he notice that Tianning's expression was always depressed, as if something was unhappy.
He touched Tianning's face and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I made my mother unhappy." Tian Ning lowered his head, like a child who knew he had made a huge mistake, and his voice was low and full of apology.
"..." Zhan Yiyang's hand rested on Xiao Tianning's fair and tender cheek, and he suddenly didn't know how to tell his son that Xu Rongrong was crying because of him.
"I can't make my mother sad." Xiao Tianning lowered his head and twisted his fingers together uneasily and guiltily. "My aunt said, Dad, you haven't come back for so long, and my mother is already very sad. I can't make my mother more sad.
"
Zhan Yiyang comforted his son, "Dad is back now, and mom won't be sad anymore."
Little Tianning seemed to have heard the great news: "Dad, can you help me coax my mother?"
"..."
"dad!"
Zhan Yiyang agreed bravely and put Tianning in pajamas, "You go to bed first."
"I want to sleep with you." Xiao Tianning took Zhan Yiyang's hand.
Zhan Yiyang nodded, and Tianning said, "Go and coax mommy first. Once she's happy, come back and sleep with me."
"……good."
His son was no easier to fool than an average four-year-old child, and he was so cute and sensible that it made people feel distressed. Zhan Yiyang could only walk out of the room and look for Xu Rongrong.
However, he didn't really want to coax Xu Rongrong. As soon as he left the room, another layer of cold air filled his face.
Xu Rongrong was easy to find. She was in Tianning's room and the door was open. Zhan Yiyang saw her when he was passing by. He went in and closed the door.
Hearing the door closing, Xu Rongrong looked over subconsciously and saw Zhan Yiyang. She was slightly startled and wanted to call his name, but the indifference on his face scared her away.
"I'm here to talk to you about the divorce." Zhan Yiyang got straight to the point, "I've already asked someone to prepare the documents. And, let me say it again, I want custody of the child."
Xu Rongrong shook his head, "Yiyang, it's impossible for me to sign."
"Don't let me force you." Zhan Yiyang's expression became colder. "I will give you a divorce, a house, a car, and enough money for you to spend the rest of your life. This is your reward for taking the risk of giving birth to Tianning."
.Don’t think about anything else.”
"Do you know what I want most?" The corners of Xu Rongrong's lips suddenly raised, and he looked at Zhan Yiyang with a smile.
"What?"
"Tianning." Xu Rongrong said, "And you."
"..."
"So, Yiyang, I don't want to say it anymore. It's impossible for me to sign for divorce." Xu Rongrong's eyes revealed a firmness, "No matter what method I use, I will definitely let you remember me."
"So what if I remember you?" Zhan Yiyang sneered, as if to say: You are just an insignificant person, it doesn't matter to me whether I can remember you or not.
Xu Rongrong's heart felt stinging, but he still refused to give up. He looked at Zhan Yiyang with firm eyes as before: "No matter what you say, I will never give up on you."
"Then I have no choice but to file for divorce." Zhan Yiyang walked out of the room without any regrets, leaving Xu Rongrong behind.
All Xu Rongrong's strength was defeated by Zhan Yiyang's indifference. She sat weakly on the ground, her palms soaked with tears...
After a moment, she suddenly remembered the figure of Pin Ruiyun that had just passed through her sight. She felt that she should not have too much faith in the character of an unknown person. She wiped away her tears and went to find Zhan Yilin.
