"Hey, I forgot about the little guy." Xu Rongrong said with a surprised smile.
Everyone burst into laughter. Xu Rongrong picked up two oranges and handed them to Dongdong and Xixi.
The two little guys were not polite. They took it and stuffed it into their mouths, biting the pulp hard with their small teeth. They were already three years old and could eat some fruits, so Xu Rongrong also turned around with confidence.
, Sister-in-law Li looked at her and felt relieved.
After everyone finished their meal and ate some fruit, Mrs. Li asked Mrs. Li to clear away the dishes.
Liang Shuxia originally wanted to help, but Sister-in-law Li knew that it was time for her to rest, so she kept urging her to rest and did not allow her to clean up the dishes.
Seeing that Mrs. Li was thinking about herself, Liang Shuxian had no choice but to give up.
Because they spent some time waiting for Zhan Yilin and his wife, today there are more people and more time to eat than usual, so it is already ten o'clock.
Normally, the couple would go to bed at this time. Although it was not advisable to go to bed immediately after eating today, in order to prepare for tomorrow's trip, Commander Liang Shuxian and his wife chose to go to bed five minutes later.
At this moment, Dongdong and Xixi, who were full, had fallen asleep. Mrs. Li took them to her small room and lived there to take care of the two little guys.
Zhan Yilin was in high spirits because she was very satisfied with the meal, and she kept discussing with Chen Haoran what to bring.
Tianning and Bai Yi took a short walk and then went to bed.
For a time, only Zhan Yiyang and his wife were left.
"Go to bed early." Xu Rongrong took Zhan Yiyang's hand, and the two of them smiled in unison and returned to the room.
Lying on the bed and flipping through the magazine next to the bed in boredom, Xu Rongrong was still surprised that Zhan Yiyang suggested this trip. In the bathroom, Zhan Yiyang was taking a shower. Xu Rongrong hesitated a few times, but decided to ask him later.
.
About a few minutes later, Zhan Yiyang took a simple shower and came out.
"Still not taking a shower?" After taking a shower, Zhan Yiyang did not put on any clothes, but only wrapped a bath towel around his waist. The curvy muscles on his strong chest were all exposed to Xu Rongrong's eyes.
Although they have been husband and wife for more than ten years, Xu Rongrong still coughed unnaturally and then looked away.
"Yiyang, I still... really want to ask you about why you suddenly asked for a trip." Xu Rongrong said it very tactfully. She didn't want to give Zhan Yiyang the feeling that she didn't trust him.
Hearing this, Zhan Yiyang smiled faintly. He knew Xu Rongrong's character very well. If he really didn't tell her at all, she might always want to know the answer. Before the dinner table, he just hoped that Xu Rongrong could wait until he returned.
Ask him again in the room.
Sure enough, Xu Rongrong couldn't help but speak since there were no clothes that were different from Zhan Yiyang's.
However, although there are some things that cannot be truly told to her, it is still okay to reveal something that seems to be right or wrong.
Thinking of this, he smoothed his hair a little, sat on the bed, and then put his arms around Xu Rongrong.
Xu Rongrong did not resist and obediently moved closer to his arms.
What follows is silence.
After a long time, Zhan Yiyang took a deep breath and then said slowly, "Twenty-five years ago, in this season, my father took my mother, Yilin and I, and we had a family
The first and only outing."
His tone was very light, without much sadness, but Xu Rongrong could hear the sadness hidden behind every word.
Zhan Yiyang is over forty years old. His many years of military career and three years of business career have made him very strong in determination and concealment. If Xu Rongrong hadn't been with him for more than ten years, he would have been
If you know him deeply, you will not notice the ups and downs hidden behind his seemingly calm words.
After all, the child who was only eighteen years old lost his mother overnight and was indirectly killed by his father. Xu Rongrong thought that the kind of pain must not be known to ordinary people.
And now, she actually caused him to think of this pain again. She was at fault, she was the sinner.
His heart was filled with distress. Xu Rongrong stretched out his hand and hugged Zhan Yiyang's neck comfortingly, "Yiyang, don't be afraid, don't be sad. It's all over. Mom, she definitely doesn't want you to be sad."
Zhan Yiyang took a deep breath, seeming to calm the ups and downs in his heart.
He lowered his head and placed a gentle kiss on Xu Rongrong's forehead, and then said in a hoarse voice, "If dad hadn't carried out that mission willfully, and if mom hadn't died, I don't know if the situation would still be like this now.
.”
If Zhan's mother had not died and Zhan Yiyang's temperament had not changed drastically, then the Zhan family might still be a warm family.
Zhan Yiyang will marry a woman from an aristocratic family, get married and have children for the rest of his life.
That woman from an aristocratic family would not force him to retire from the army, so he would not start a company, let alone become the president.
Thinking of this, Xu Rongrong hugged Zhan Yiyang tightly, as if he would leave her if she let go.
Xu Rongrong's heart was filled with a faint sense of panic when he thought that Zhan Yiyang might not exist in the future.
Well, it doesn't matter whether she is rebellious or a bad guy. Now, Xu Rongrong suddenly felt happy. Fortunately, Zhan's mother died...
However, a second after this happiness appeared, Xu Rongrong felt full of guilt in her heart. Especially when she saw that Zhan Yiyang missed her mother very much, she felt that she was a bad person.
Bad guy...
Xu Rongrong closed his eyes and hugged Zhan Yiyang tightly.
It's useless to think about it. Time has gone so far and it will never come back. Zhan's mother will not die, and Zhan Yiyang will not leave her.
However, an idea suddenly came to Xu Rongrong's mind. She wanted to ask Zhan Yiyang about the question she was struggling with just now.
If Zhan's mother survives, in exchange for meeting Xu Rongrong, does Zhan Yiyang still want things to go according to the current process?
But she opened her mouth and closed it again.
She found this kind of difficult-to-decision problem very difficult, so why bother Yiyang with it.
But, no matter what, she was unwilling to do so.
After thinking for a while, Xu Rongrong finally decided to strike from the side. She would not directly ask what would happen if Zhan's mother did not die, but chose to strike quietly from the side.
Thinking of this, Xu Rongrong raised his head and looked at Zhan Yiyang with a pair of big innocent eyes, "Yiyang, if mother is still alive now, can you still meet me?"
Zhan Yiyang was startled, as if he didn't expect Xu Rongrong to ask this question, but after a moment he understood Xu Rongrong's purpose.
Compared with Zhan Yiyang, Xu Rongrong is too weak.
The question she was struggling with, the question she wanted to ask the most in her heart, was nakedly exposed in front of Zhan Yiyang after just asking her question.
There was a hint of amusement in his heart,
Zhan Yiyang is not Xu Rongrong. He doesn't have so many little girl complexes, so naturally he won't be bound by such a simple question. However, after thinking about it, he decided not to answer the question too briefly, lest Xu Rongrong think that he is not serious.
So, Zhan Yiyang frowned and pretended to think hard.
Xu Rongrong, on the other hand, just stared at him with wide eyes, unblinking.
Whether he opens or closes his eyes can cause Xu Rongrong to tremble with fear.
Well, she had to admit that she was afraid of hearing the answer that Zhan Yiyang hoped Zhan's mother would live.
For a moment, Xu Rongrong regretted it. She shouldn't have asked Zhan Yiyang, even if it was a side knock. She didn't know how smart Zhan Yiyang was, so why did she ask so stupidly.
What kind of side knock, maybe in Zhan Yiyang's heart, all his goals and questions will be nakedly unfolded.
It has to be said that Xu Rongrong understands Zhan Yiyang so well. Her understanding of Zhan Yiyang has surpassed her understanding of herself. Moreover, she is also very smart and has quick reflexes. She is entangled between Zhan's mother and her, and who Zhan Yiyang should choose.
, this problem is just a problem that all women will fall into.
Just like women always ask men, "Your mother and I fall into a river, who do you save first?" Although the question between Xu Rongrong and Yiyang involves words such as if, past, and resurrection, it still cannot be changed, and "
"Your mother and I fell into a river, who do you save first?" This question has the same essence.
So at this moment, Xu Rongrong regretted asking. She really wanted to take back her clever insinuation just now, but time would not go back, so she could only watch with helpless eyes as Zhan Yiyang's frown gradually relaxed.
.
"Don't answer." Before Zhan Yiyang opened his mouth, Xu Rongrong covered his mouth in advance, "The question just now was just a stupid question and not worth answering."
Zhan Yiyang laughed. He gently pulled Xu Rongrong's hand away and kissed the back of her hand.
"Whether it's worth answering or not, you have to read my answer before you judge." He looked at her gently, without any dissatisfaction or anger in his expression, and Xu Rongrong gradually let go of the drama he mentioned.
Zhan Yiyang loved his mother very much, and because she had passed away, she basically became an unsurpassable existence in Zhan Yiyang's mind.
Although Xu Rongrong knew that Zhan Yiyang loved him very much, he did not rule out that she could not compare to his mother.
Although this is nothing, she will still mind, be afraid, and feel sad.
What woman doesn’t want to be number one in her husband’s heart?
But since Zhan Yiyang had already thought of the answer, Xu Rongrong still had the courage to stare at Zhan Yiyang's thin lips with a pair of innocent eyes, watching him spit out the answer word by word.
"Rongrong, there are no ifs in this world. Some things cannot be avoided, just like mother's death, just like me meeting you."
Zhan Yiyang smiled faintly. He lowered his head and kissed Xu Rongrong softly on his eyes. "It's very late. You have to buy ingredients tomorrow. Go to sleep."
"Yes." Xu Rongrong nodded obediently, with a smile and relief on his lips.
She was the one who got into trouble before. There are no what-ifs in this world. So those choices no longer exist. She was the one who was stupid.
Xu Rongrong's heart relaxed after what Zhan Yiyang said. She closed her eyes and slowly fell asleep.
