Ruanruan was not interested in playing chess, but showed interest in Ruan Manwei's handicrafts, "Mom, I want to see my aunt's handicrafts."
Ruan Bai glanced at the door of the room next to her, which was Ruan Manwei's handicraft workshop, and she said, "You have to ask my aunt about this."
Ruan Ruan nodded and saw Ruan Manwei walking out of the kitchen with tea and fruits. He walked forward and asked obediently: "Grandma, your handicrafts are beautiful. Can I go and visit them?"
Little girls are always interested in beautiful things. Ruan Manwei put the tray on the coffee table and held her soft hand, "Of course."
Ruan Bai warned from the side, "Be careful not to damage aunt's work."
"I got it, Mom." Ruanruan turned around and smiled sweetly, and glanced at Mu Shaoling again. She and her brothers didn't bother their parents. Can they resolve the unpleasantness in the car just now?
Mu Shaoling and Ruan Bai were left standing in the living room.
Old Ruan saw his granddaughter and grandson-in-law still standing during the chess game, and said with a smile: "Shaoling, Xiaobai, don't stand there, come and sit down."
"Okay." Ruan Bai responded and glanced at Mu Shaoling beside her. His expression remained the same but she couldn't feel much warmth. Her heart felt uncomfortable and she walked to the other sofa in a muffled voice.
Mu Shaoling held her hand without any force, holding it gently with his palms, "Grandpa, the balcony outside has a nice view. Xiaobai and I will go sit there."
"Okay." Old Ruan didn't think too much and just thought it was the interest between them as husband and wife.
Ruan Bai was led by him to the balcony.
Old Ruan usually likes to drink tea on the balcony, so Ruan Manwei decorated the balcony very elegantly. There were two wicker chairs in the middle of the balcony, and a small round vine table, surrounded by green potted plants.
Ruan Bai sat on a wicker chair, while Mu Shaoling sat on another wicker chair. The tenderness on his face disappeared, leaving only seriousness.
Seeing the cold look on his face, she sighed in her heart, feeling very uncomfortable.
On the way here, Ruan Bai had already realized her mistake, but she never had the chance to apologize. Her voice was dull, and she apologized before Mu Shaoling could say anything: "I'm sorry, I didn't do this well."
Mu Shaoling sighed. He wanted to teach her a lesson, so he deliberately kept a straight face, but when he saw her lowered eyes looking like she was about to cry, the coldness on his face disappeared without a trace.
He moved the wicker chair and sat across from her.
The two sat facing each other. Ruan Bai lowered his head and looked at the bruises on his hands. Just when he was thinking about how to apologize, Mu Shaoling slowly said, "You did nothing wrong. There is no need to apologize."
Ruan Bai raised his head in surprise, "Shaoling..."
Mu Shaoling held her wrist and rubbed it gently. The numbing feeling made her feel no pain, but rather comfortable.
He was helping her rub away the bruises.
"You did nothing wrong. It was Song Beiye who did wrong." Mu Shaoling said. From the few words he said, he knew that Ruan Bai was so impulsive because of Li Ni.
She has always felt guilty about Li Ni in her heart. She always felt that she was responsible for Li Ni's current behavior. Mu Shaoling knew about her thoughts early on, but he never revealed it.
Hearing his understanding words, Ruan Bai felt even more guilty. Before doing things, she should not be impulsive and should think more about Mu Shaoling.
If Song Beixi knew that her brother was beaten by her, it would definitely affect her relationship with Mu Shaoling...
Mu Shaoling never stopped rubbing her hand, "But you did something wrong by provoking Song Beiye. Although Song Beiye is Song Beixi's younger brother, they are not similar. His personal ability is not bad at all.
Comparing the two of them, Song Beiye may have better abilities and wilder ways, but the Song family finally made Song Beixi the head of the family and did not choose Song Beiye. Do you know why?"
Ruan Bai remained silent and shook his head, but his tears fell down.
I originally thought that Mu Shaoling would definitely scold him, but I didn't expect that he would speak so gently.
Mu Shaoling couldn't bear to see her cry, so he raised his hand to wipe it gently and continued to explain, "Song Beiye is more arrogant and does anything by any means. In the past, the two of them accepted the Song family's assessment together. In order to win, he used all kinds of means.
It's quite shocking, and that's why the old men of the Song family thought that if he were to become the head of the family, the future of the Song family would be ruined, so they gave the position of the head of the family to Song Beixi."
"Song Beiye only cares about winning or losing, but he doesn't care about this position, so he and Song Beixi have always been at peace with each other. But if he gets angry and wants to do something, Song Beixi can't control it. Xiaobai, the reason why I'm angry is not because of your slap.
You ruined my friendship with Song Beixi because you didn't know how to love yourself. If Song Beiye had attacked at that time, we can't even imagine the consequences." Only when he was serious would he call her name directly.
Ruan Bai thought of Song Beiye's scene just now and was sure that he would not dare to push himself onto the road.
Now after what Mu Shaoling said, she thought carefully about the scene at that time. If Zhou Xiaosu hadn't thrown the ice bag at him, she might have been pushed out of the road.
At that time, it was the rush hour for work in the afternoon. Vehicles were coming and going on the road. If he fell on the road, he might end up being wrapped under the car. Ruan Bai thought that his impulsiveness might mean that he would never see Mu Shaoling again.
With three precious children, she became frightened and her heart couldn't help but tremble violently.
"I'm sorry, I..." She raised her hand and wiped her tears, and the grievance in her heart disappeared. She was usually very sensible, but it was only guilt and distress that made her do such a thing.
"Don't cry." Mu Shaoling saw her tears and frowned tightly. He didn't expect her to have such a big reaction.
He didn't mean to scare him. Song Beiye was that kind of man. He would not give face to someone because of his special status. Outsiders would only treat him as an ordinary playboy. This image happened to bury his vicious and sinister heart.
Ruan Bai's tears couldn't stop falling. Mu Shaoling felt distressed and comforted her in a low voice. He couldn't protect her all the time, so he told her so much.
She lay on his chest and cried silently.
Mu Shaoling gently stroked her back and comforted her: "Honey, if you cry again, grandpa will say that I bullied you later."
"You didn't bully me." Ruan Bai rubbed her eyes with misty tears, and she wiped them again.
Knowing the real reason for his anger, she was moved and frightened, and could not stop crying.
Mu Shaoling gently pecked her red lips. The look of wanton tears made him feel very sad.
Ruan Manwei walked to the balcony and saw Ruan Bai crying, and quickly asked: "What's going on? A quarrel?"
Ruan Bai held Mu Shaoling's hand, shook his head and said, "Auntie, we didn't quarrel."
"Then this is..." Ruan Manwei saw the couple sitting across from each other. It didn't seem like they were quarreling. "What kind of trouble have you encountered?"
