At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, Xi Xi was finally tired from playing. Jing Li gave her a bath, dried her hair and changed clothes, and then the three of them set off on their way back.
Huo Qiran sent them directly to Gu Wan and showed them the house that Gu Wan planned to rent.
The house is on the same floor as the house where Gu Wan lives. It is a compact two-bedroom apartment. Although it is not spacious, it is very cozy.
Although Xi Xi didn't seem to understand, she still heard a few words in the past two days. She took Jing Li's hand and asked in surprise, "Auntie, is this our new home?"
Before Jing Li had time to answer, Gu Wan had already knelt down and held Xi Xi's hand, smiling and saying, "This is Xi Xi and her aunt's new home. Do you like it?"
"I like it!" Xi Xi's eyes lit up immediately, "It's so beautiful! There are also bunk beds!"
Seeing this, Jing Li couldn't help but turn around and look at Huo Qiran again.
Huo Qiran just smiled at her slightly.
Jing Li then looked at Xi Xi again, "Will Xi Xi be happy living here?"
"Happy!" Xi Xi immediately stretched out her hands to hug Jing Li's neck and jumped up, "So happy!"
Jing Li gently touched her head.
The child's world is very simple. She has no scruples and no calculations. She just needs to be brave enough to express her likes and dislikes.
Since she likes it, Jing Li has no reason to extinguish her joy.
…
"Do you need my help moving?" Huo Qiran asked Jing Li again on the way back, "If you decide when to move, call me in advance?"
"No need." Jing Li said, "Xi Xi and I don't have much stuff, we just need to pack it up."
"Well, if you need my help, call me anytime."
Jing Li held Xi Xi who fell asleep in her arms. Hearing this, she lowered her eyes slightly and smiled, saying, "Okay."
After saying goodbye to Huo Qiran, when Jing Li returned to her uncle's house with Xi Xi in her arms, Xiang Mingguang, Duan Shan and Xiang Ting happened to be at home.
Jing Li put Xi Xi back on the bed in the room, closed the door before walking out again, looking at the people sitting on the sofa, "Uncle, aunt, cousin, do you have time to have dinner together tomorrow?"
"What's for dinner?" Xiang Mingguang was stunned for a moment, "Is it your birthday?"
Duan Shan sat next to him. After hearing this, she stretched out her hand and pinched him, then looked at Jing Li, "Are you going to invite us to dinner, or is someone else going to invite us to dinner?"
Hearing her tone, Jing Li knew that she had guessed something. She nodded and said, "It's Xi Xi's mother who wants to treat you to dinner."
When these words came out, both Xiang Mingguang and Xiang Ting were stunned for a moment, while Duan Shan sneered, "As expected, you took Xixi out early and came back late every day for more than a week just to see her, right?
"
Jing Li did not deny it, "She wants to bring Xi Xi to her side, but Xi Xi can't live without me for the time being——"
"So you are going to move in with her, right?" Duan Shan snorted and waved her hand, "You can move wherever you like, but we won't eat this meal. Tell her,
Let her stop pretending about relatives and moral principles. No one in this room wants to see her. She can live however she likes and it has nothing to do with us."
Jing Li listened quietly and did not refute.
When Gu Wan left Xi Xi without saying a word and threw all the responsibilities on Jing Li alone, everyone was angry. Today, Jing Li is not surprised that they would have this attitude.
"If you don't want to eat, don't eat." Jing Li said softly, "I will tell her."
Although Duan Shan got upset when Gu Wan was mentioned, Xiang Mingguang and Xiang Ting still asked about Gu Wan's current situation, and Jing Li answered them truthfully.
Xiang Mingguang is an honest person and did not comment after listening to it, but Xiang Ting said: "That's fine, let her take her responsibilities. She should pay back everything she has owed to Xi Xi and you over the years."
!”
Duan Shan was too lazy to listen to another word, so she got up and returned to her room.
Jing Li didn't say anything more.
…
On the other side, Huo Qiran returned home and found Su Zhen and Yueyue sitting on the sofa, looking at their phones, laughing while reading.
Hearing the noise, Su Zhen raised her head and saw him, and said, "You're back. Where did you play today?"
Huo Qiran walked to the sofa and sat down, saying: "I'm going to Qingming Mountain. Didn't I ask you yesterday if you wanted to go? You said you were not free."
Su Zhen tilted her head and looked at him, "I'm not free, so which pretty girl did you go with?"
Huo Qiran glanced at her helplessly, "Jing Li and Xi Xi made an appointment early in the morning."
Su Zhen paused, "Just the three of you?"
"Otherwise?" Huo Qiran asked.
Yueyue, who was addicted to funny videos on her phone, suddenly raised her head and glanced at Huo Qiran, and then continued to watch her own videos.
Su Zhen chuckled softly and looked at him, "Huo Qiran, something is wrong with you."
Of course Huo Qiran knew what she was going to say and smiled helplessly.
"Just tell me honestly, just like it if you like it, what's the big deal!" Su Zhen said, "Is it possible that you are still afraid that I will laugh at you?"
Mu Qian happened to come down from upstairs, and after hearing this, he said, "What's the joke?"
Su Zhen looked back at her and said: "Aunt Qianqian, congratulations, your Huo Qiran is going to have a girlfriend. Your wish for him to fall in love is finally coming true!"
Mu Qian walked among a few people with a smile, turned around and stared at Huo Qiran, and said, "Although, I hope that my son will seize the time to enjoy the beauty and sweetness of love, but according to my observation, my son's current state,
It should be quite far away from falling in love."
Huo Qiran burst out laughing when he heard that. Su Zhen came up from behind Mu Qian and stared at Huo Qiran's face, "How did you tell?"
Mu Qian said: "Well, a little girl like you wouldn't know that mother and son are connected."
Su Zhen snorted softly again, "What if you made a mistake?"
"Really?" Mu Qian turned her head and looked at Huo Qiran, "Son, did I make a mistake?"
"Mom, you know everything clearly." Huo Qiran said, "Nothing can escape your eyes."
After hearing this, Su Zhen raised her eyebrows and sighed, "Then Aunt Qianqian, you should feel sorry."
"No regrets, no regrets." Mu Qian said with a genuine smile, "Let everything take its course, and one day it will all fall into place!"
Huo Qiran stood up and kissed the side of Mu Qian's face gently, "Mom, I'm going to take a shower first."
He got up and walked upstairs, while Su Zhen returned to Yueyue and continued to watch funny videos with her, but her eyes frequently drifted to the stairs uncontrollably, and she finally looked back until Huo Qiran's figure disappeared.
Mu Qian saw this scene in her eyes and still just smiled, pretending not to see anything.
