Mu Liting raised his eyebrows but did not refuse. He sat down, stretched out his long arms, hugged her into his arms, and whispered: "Okay, I'll stay with you. Are you tired and want to sleep?"
Ni Keren shook his head, raised his eyes, looked at him, hesitated for a while, and asked: "Li Ting, how long has it been since you and your mother saw each other?"
It seemed that he did not expect that Ni Keren would ask such a question. Mu Liting's eyes tightened and he did not answer.
Silent...
Ni Keren was not in a hurry to speak, always waiting for his response.
Just when Ni Keren thought that Mu Liting didn't want to respond to her after waiting for so long, Mu Liting said quietly: "I haven't seen her in more than 20 years."
Ni Ke's heart trembled, and he looked at Mu Liting with a bit of pity. It was hard to imagine how sad it would be for mother and son to be separated for twenty years.
She stretched out her hands, hugged his waist tightly, lay on his chest, and whispered: "Li Ting, do you miss her?"
Mu Liting darkened his eyes, raised his hand, stroked her hair, and said in a calm voice, "I'm used to it!"
Ni Keren raised her eyes and looked directly into his eyes, her eyes surging, "Li Ting, why don't you go back? You also want to see your mother, don't you?"
Mu Liting's face darkened, "I won't go back. Even if I have to go back, I will take you back and let my mother see her daughter-in-law."
Ni Keren's eyes dimmed suddenly, he lowered his eyes, covering up the complex emotions surging in his eyes, and murmured: "Li Ting, you know that is impossible!"
"Then do you want to give up on me, or do you want to give up on our relationship?" Mu Liting asked, with a hint of questioning in his indifferent tone.
Ni Keren was silent...
Mu Liting reached out and pinched her chin, asked her to raise her eyes, looked at her to face him, and said sternly to her: "Keren, don't think about giving up on me, and I will never allow you to give up, listen.
Are you here?"
Ni Keren's eyes were hot and his voice was hoarse: "What about your mother? Don't you want to see her? And your father..."
"I said I will handle it, don't you still want to believe me?" Mu Liting pressed.
Ni Keren looked at him in silence for a while, then nodded slightly, "I believe you, but I don't want you to have any regrets because of me. I just hope that while I can be happy, you can also be with me."
Your mother is reunited, that kind of happiness is what I want most!"
Mu Liting was slightly startled, and looked deeply at Ni Keren, as if he couldn't believe it. Since when did the unruly and willful little woman in the past become so considerate of him?
It seems that his cuteness is starting to grow up.
If his happiness is exchanged for her growing up, it is worth it.
Mu Liting raised his lips slightly, tightened his arms around her, and held her even tighter. He lowered his head, kissed her tenderly on the cheek, and whispered in her ear: "Keren, I promise."
You, I will definitely give you the happiness you wish for."
Ni Keren did not say a word, but quietly nodded in his arms.
…
…
Time passed by tick by tick.
One night a week later.
As usual, Mu Liting stayed with Ni Keren in bed, telling stories and listening to light music for prenatal education.
Ni Keren soon fell asleep in his arms.
Seeing that the person in his arms was already asleep, Mu Liting gently stood up and was about to go in to take a shower when the cell phone placed on the table vibrated slightly...
