Qu Ranran looked absently at the New York City scene outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, her eyes dim.
All the images in my mind are of the confrontation with him last night...
He kept saying that he had not touched Qiao Si, forcing her to ask him, but why couldn't he answer in the end?
Does she know that she doesn't want to discuss this issue with him because she doesn't want to make the relationship with him so irreparable...
Now that Qiao Si's problem has finally been brought to the forefront, what kind of change can there be between them?
"Wow, wow..."
The child's cry interrupted Qu Ranran's thoughts. She got up and walked from the window to the crib.
Yu An cried in the crib because he was hungry...
Qu Ranran picked up Yu An and the child stopped crying immediately.
Seeing the child's handsome little face that looked so much like Guan Hao, Qu Ranran couldn't help but give Yu An a gentle kiss on the face.
Yu An seems to be very sensible, knowing that his mother is in a low mood, and he obediently lies in Qu Ranran's arms.
Qu Ranran placed Yu An gently on the bed and whispered, "Baby, be good. Mommy will make milk for you... Just lie on the bed obediently. Mommy will be back soon."
After saying that, Qu Ranran turned around and walked to the low cabinet where the milk powder and milk bottles were placed.
While Qu Ranran was soaking milk, there was a sound at the apartment door.
Thinking it was Guan Hao, Qu Ranran couldn't help but shake out some of the milk powder in the spoon while making the milk powder, but she quickly calmed down.
She wasn't actually afraid of facing him, but she just didn't know what to do between them next.
Stay or leave, I'm afraid it's time to make a decision...
Invaded by sadness and loss deep in his heart, Qu Ranran was in a trance and did not notice that the footsteps of the person coming in were obviously different from Guan Hao. When the door was opened and Qu Ranran subconsciously looked at the person, that period
Guan Hao's eyes, which were looking forward to but not looking forward to seeing him, became surprised and panicked at the appearance of the visitor.
"Guan...old lady."
She had no idea that the person coming was Guan's mother, so Qu Ranran's voice was slightly hoarse.
Guan's mother stared at Qu Ranran for a second. There was no deliberate disgust on her face, but she was not loving either. She glanced at Qu Ranran indifferently, and then turned her eyes to Yu An, who was lying on the bed and sucking his fingers.
"How do you take care of your child? You actually put him on the bed alone. What if he falls down?"
Guan's mother nervously walked to the bed and hugged Yu An directly.
Having learned from the past, Qu Ranran put down the bottle nervously, walked to Guan's mother, and hurriedly said, "Mrs. Guan, you..."
Guan Mu looked at Qu Ranran, "What am I? Are you afraid that I will take Yu An away like last time?"
Qu Ranran did not answer, seemingly acquiescing.
Guan's mother said calmly, "Don't worry, I didn't come to you this time because of Yu An. The last time I thought about bringing Yu An back to the Guan family because I was immature. Now think about it, the last time I brought Yu An to New York rashly
, not only caused my two sons to accuse me, but also prompted you and Guan Hao to get back together in New York. I am really confused."
Hearing Guan's mother's annoyed tone, Qu Ranran felt a sad pain in the soft part of her heart. Recalling Guan's mother's love for her in the past and now her disdain, the only thing she could lament was that creation made people fool.
"Yu An, little darling... talk to grandma..."
No matter how much she disliked Qu Ranran, Guan's mother's love for her grandson was evident in words.
Yu'an seemed to know Guan's mother. When Guan's mother teased him, he giggled in a dignified manner.
Guan's mother was immersed in the joy of playing with her grandson, which made Qu Ranran's originally tense mood slowly relax.
"Little darling, do you recognize grandma? You laugh so happily with grandma..." Guan's mother's loving words were full of her love for Yu An, and she couldn't help but kiss Yu An again and again.
Qu Ranran couldn't help but feel more sour in her heart when she saw Guan's mother coaxing Yu An.
If she were not the daughter of Ye Liuzi and Qu Yaoting, but just a girl from an ordinary family, today, she and Guan Hao would be able to form a beautiful family, allowing Yu An to grow up under the love of her grandmother and father...
However, having said that, without the grievances and grievances of the previous generation, she and Guan Hao would not have met... Unfortunately, time cannot be turned back and let her choose. She would rather never meet Guan Hao in this life than this.
There will be choices and pain like today.
Qu Ranran handed the soaked milk to Guan's mother...
Guan's mother didn't have any grudges at the moment and took the bottle, "Little darling, are you hungry? Feed quickly... You can't suck your thumb anymore, it's very dirty..."
Seeing Yu An obediently sucking milk in Guan Mu's arms, Qu Ranran couldn't help but smile slightly.
…
Guan's mother kept teasing Yu An in the room until Yu An got tired and fell asleep again. Then Guan's mother gently put Yu An in the crib.
When she put Yu An down, Guan's mother was reluctant to kiss Yu An's sleeping face. Then she put away her eyes of infinite love and turned her eyes to indifference towards Qu Ranran, who had been standing aside without saying a word.
Ask, "Do you have time to chat with me?"
Guan Mu's question was obviously unnecessary... Qu Ranran could not refuse.
"Um."
"Well, Yu An is sleeping, let's go to the hall to chat!"
Qu Ranran nodded slightly.
Guan's mother immediately walked out of the room.
Anticipating that the topic Guan Mu would talk to her about might involve her and Guan Hao, Qu Ranran felt inexplicably timid, but in the end she followed Guan Mu into the hall.
…
In the huge living room, Guan's mother was sitting on the sofa dignifiedly. Her eyes fell on Qu Ranran who was standing in front of the sofa. She said a rare kind word to Qu Ranran, "Sit down!"
Qu Ranran slowly sat down on the sofa.
Guan's mother spoke slowly, "Miss Qu, I know you are also a smart person, so I won't mince words... That day in the hospital, you and I heard Qiao Si say that the child she was carrying had nothing to do with Guan Hao, but, you
Do you know that Qiao Si lied to us that day?"
really……
The questions raised by Guan's mother always hit her heart.
Qu Ranran answered without concealment, "Yes, I know."
Hearing Qu Ranran's answer, Guan's mother was slightly surprised, "You know?" You know, she only knew it just now.
Qu Ranran remained silent.
Seeing that Qu Ranran didn't speak, Guan's mother knew that this matter might not be an easy thing for Qu Ranran. Guan's mother sighed and said quietly, "Miss Qu, I know what I'm telling you now.
These may make you uncomfortable, but I still want to say... Guan Hao and Qiao Si had nothing to do with you when they were together, so Guan Hao is not sorry for you, and I hope you don't feel resentful."
Qu Ranran raised her eyes, looked at Guan's mother calmly, and said calmly, "Old Madam Guan, Guan Hao and I have never really been together, so whoever he is with will never be sorry for me.
I won't be resentful."
"You have a really good character, neither arrogant nor impetuous. However, Miss Qu, I have only seen these things about you before. I never thought that you are so scheming."
After hearing what Guan Mu said, Qu Ranran's face instantly turned pale and she looked at Guan Mu in confusion. Scheming?
Guan's mother spat out her words decisively, "Before I came to you, I made a phone call with Qiao Si... She returned to France and just got off the plane. When she received my call, she felt very remorseful and ashamed, and kept telling me
She lived up to my expectations for her. When I told her that I already knew that she was pregnant with Guan Hao's child, she still insisted that it had nothing to do with Guan Hao until I forced her to admit... In the end, I
Ask her, why do you want to deceive everyone and hide this fact? She said that she didn’t want to ruin the relationship between Guan Hao and you. She originally wanted to get rid of the child and didn’t want her and Guan Hao to get entangled over the child, but then Guan Hao asked her to stay.
child……"
Qu Ranran's eyes became darker, but her expression remained calm.
"Miss Qu, I believe that Qiao Si likes Guan Hao as much as you do, but for Guan Hao, she is willing not to have children and lose this opportunity to be bound to Guan Hao, but generously allows you to be with Guan Hao... I
I want to ask you, when you were pregnant, Guan Hao was already with Qiao Si. You have always been aloof and arrogant. At that time, why did you not choose to take away the child to fulfill Guan Hao and Qiao Si, but shamelessly kept the child and let Guan Si
Hao has been entangled with you again and again because of the child."
It turns out that the scheming Guan's mother mentioned was actually that she chose to keep the child a year ago just to bond with Guan Hao...
Comparing it with Qiao Si's attitude towards her children, she does seem to have impure motives, but how could Guan's mother know her situation at that time?
She went to the hospital twice to try to have the baby removed. The first time no doctor came with her surgery, and the second time the doctor said she might become infertile if she removed the baby...
Fear of infertility was an important factor in her keeping the child, but she had to admit that the most important factor was that she was indeed unwilling to take away the child.
She has loved children since she was a child. The first child she and Guan Hao lost five years ago once made her devastated, so she really couldn't be so cruel...
She can say with no shame that whether it was the child five years ago or Yu An, it was just because she was unwilling to let go. She never wanted to get entangled with Guan Hao.
She never thought that Guan's mother would treat her like this...
With soreness rising in her throat, Qu Ranran struggled to hold back her sobs and said, "Old Madam Guan, when I found out that I was Ye Liuzi's daughter, I knew that I would always be covered up in front of you.
A layer of darkness... I know you won't believe what I explain, not to mention you won't listen to my explanation, so you can do whatever you think I do, but I want to say that if the feet grow on your son,
I never asked him to come to Alton."
Guan's mother never thought that she would be choked by Qu Ranran. She couldn't help but feel angry in her heart, and her tone became less friendly, "Don't be so proud, as if Guan Hao is relying on you..."
Qu Ranran said hurriedly, "I didn't mean that, I just want you to know that I never had such thoughts..."
Guan's mother snorted, "Qu Ranran, if you don't have that kind of intention, how can you defeat Qiao Si with a victory and live in Guan Hao's apartment at this moment?"
"I……"
Guan's mother didn't give Qu Ranran a chance to explain, and spit out directly, "You can continue to pretend to be innocent, but do you think you have really won Guan Hao's heart?" Guan's mother paused and shook her head, "You are wrong.
Yes, Guan Hao does care about you, but his care for you is not because of love, but because Ling Tian likes you."
Not understanding the meaning of Guan's mother's words, Qu Ranran looked shocked and confused.
"I am the mother of Guan Hao and Ling Tian. You may not know that these two brothers were very smart when they were young, so we often praised them... I don't know when they started to compare. As long as we praise them more
If you defeat one of them, the other will work harder to surpass the other. Although the relationship between the two brothers has always been very good, the competition between the two has been around since childhood..."
Guan Mu spoke so straightforwardly that Qu Ranran seemed to be able to guess what Guan Mu wanted to say...
Sure enough, at this second, Guan's mother spit out coldly, "So, do you think Guan Hao really cares about you? In fact, he just wants to beat his elder brother. If Ling Tian cares about Qiao Si today, I believe that I will accompany Guan Hao today
The person next to her is Qiao Si... However, Qiao Si doesn't need to worry, because Guan Hao can't bear to take away his and Qiao Si's child. This just shows that Guan Hao cares, but Guan Hao is still immersed in competing with Ling Tian.
He didn't take his feelings for Qiao Si seriously."
Every word spoken by Guan's mother was like a sharp blade, piercing Qu Ranran's heart with force and precision.
Qu Ranran staggered and almost lost his balance.
The pain spread throughout Qu Ranran's limbs like the bites of ants...
Qu Ranran's hands tightened on her sides as if helplessly, and then she slowly let go. Looking at Guan's mother's hateful and determined face, she felt an indescribable discomfort in her heart.
"Miss Qu, I hope you will be self-aware and stop entangled with Guan Hao like this. Also, I hope you won't pester Ling Tian in the future, because even if Ling Tian doesn't want to see me, I will stop him from being with you.
, unless he really breaks away from the mother-son relationship with me in this life."
I don’t know how long it took after Guan’s mother left, but Guan Hao returned to the apartment.
The first time he walked in, Guan Hao noticed Qu Ranran sitting on the sofa in a daze.
A vague foreboding premonition condensed in Guan Hao's heart. He couldn't help but frown and walked towards Qu Ranran.
It wasn't until she saw Guan Hao standing in front of her that Qu Ranran came back to her senses and looked up at Guan Hao.
Guan Hao knelt down in front of Qu Ranran and took her hands.
Qu Ranran's hand conveyed to Guan Hao the coldness of winter ice. He couldn't help but hold her hand tightly, conveying his warmth to her, and asked softly, "Are your hands always this cold?"
Qu Ranran's eyes followed Guan Hao. When he helped her warm his hands, her eyes were always staring at Guan Hao's handsome face.
Suddenly, Guan Hao pulled Qu Ranran into his arms, hugged her tightly, and said in a low voice, "Ranran, I'm sorry that I can't explain Qiao Si's matter to you clearly now, but what I told you is
Every word I say comes from my heart, and there is no falsehood... Give me a little more time, and when I finish handling the things I have to deal with, we will go to Mo Island and live happily, okay?"
Qu Ranran leaned in Guan Hao's arms, neither rejecting nor responding to him, just like a body that had lost its soul.
Guan Hao felt something strange about Qu Ranran, so he couldn't help but pull away from her and look at her face.
On her pale and colorless face, her red eyes were extremely obvious.
Guan Hao gently held Qu Ranran's delicate and beautiful face, his voice turned hoarse, "Does it make you uncomfortable to see me like this?"
At this moment, Qu Ranran's pupils were dilated, her eyes were unfocused, and she did not look directly at Guan Hao for a second.
Bang--
A fist hit the expensive black leather sofa behind Qu Ranran.
Facing Guan Hao's overwhelming anger, Qu Ranran still did not react and just sat quietly on the sofa.
Guan Hao was so frantic that he wanted to look up to the sky, roar, and wanted to curse irritably, but in the end he suppressed it and burst out through gritted teeth, "Qu Ranran, listen, a lifetime is so long, I have enough time to slow down with you.
Slow down... you want to leave, it's simply delusional!!"
Qu Ranran never responded.
…
Guan Hao irritably pulled the tie around his neck, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and punched the glass curtain of the floor-to-ceiling window again.
The atmosphere is so cold and stalemate...
Guan Hao's handsome face was livid, and he completely lost his usual self-control and calmness, and his whole body exuded a dangerous and violent aura.
At this moment, Guan Hao's cell phone rang in his pocket, breaking the silence of the hall.
Guan Hao suppressed his emotions, took out his phone, glanced at the name displayed on the phone screen, and pressed the answer button solemnly.
As soon as the phone was connected, Zou Ji's slightly anxious voice came from inside, "Boss, the fish is hooked...'m' sent someone to kidnap Miss Qiao in France!"
