In the car, Ruan Xingwan booked two tickets to Ancheng as soon as possible.
But even so, by the time they got off the plane, it was already six o'clock the next morning.
Standing in front of Xu Yue's house, Ruan Xingwan's heartbeat was faster than ever.
She took a deep breath and waited until she was almost calm before reaching out and knocking on the door.
In the house, Xu Yue just got up, opened the door and saw Ruan Xingwan standing outside, and said unexpectedly: "Xingwan, why are you..."
Ruan Xingwan pursed her lips: "Aunt Xu, I want to see the child again."
Xu Yue was stunned and didn't speak for a while.
Ruan Xingwan couldn't wait for her answer and ran into the house with great strides.
Pei Shanshan saw this and quickly followed.
But the little guy seemed to disappear out of thin air, leaving nothing in the house.
While Ruan Xingwan was standing there in trance, Xu Yue came over and said softly: "Didn't your Aunt Qin have a cold and she hasn't been feeling well? Her son's wife came over last night and took the child away."
Ruan Xingwan opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say, and tears welled up in his eyes.
Xu Yue sighed silently. He knew what she was thinking, but he couldn't tell her the truth. He could only pat her shoulder: "Xiao Ruan, there will be children again."
Ruan Xingwan bit her lower lip tightly, trying not to cry, and murmured in a low voice: "I thought... I was almost sure..."
But in the end, she thought too much.
Xu Yue said: "Xiao Ruan, if you want to see the child, I'll ask your Aunt Qin for the address."
Ruan Xingwan shook his head: "No need."
"Xiao Ruan..."
"Sorry Aunt Xu, I'm going back first."
After Ruan Xingwan finished speaking, he turned around and walked out. His back looked indescribably lonely.
Pei Shanshan smiled awkwardly at Xu Yue, nodded in greeting, and followed him out.
At this time, it was just dawning, and the street lamps on both sides of the river were glowing with orange light, which was faint and somewhat cold.
Ruan Xingwan lowered his head and walked quietly.
Pei Shanshan followed, scratched her head and said, "Xingxing, it's all my fault. If I hadn't made you misunderstand by saying those nonsense, you wouldn't have..."
Ruan Xingwan shook his head gently: "It's not you, it's me. I'm too sensitive."
Maybe it was because she had spent so much time with the little guy in the past two days that she had such extravagant desires.
But think about it, there was such a serious car accident, how could the child survive?
Ruan Xingwan breathed out: "Shanshan, let's go back."
After Ruan Xingwan left, Xu Yue called Zhou Cishen: "Xiao Shen, Xiao Ruan has left."
"knew."
After a pause, Zhou Cishen added, "I'll have someone take you off on the afternoon flight. Since she's already suspicious, she can't stay there any longer."
Xu Yue sighed: "You are really... Xiao Ruan will hate you if he knows the truth."
"This is not the only thing missing."
Ruan Xingwan not only hates him, but might even kill him.
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Cishen put away his phone, took his coat and went out.
…
After this back and forth, neither Ruan Xingwan nor Pei Shanshan slept. When they arrived in Nancheng, Pei Shanshan yawned continuously: "Xingxing, let's go back and catch up on some sleep. Anyway, Xiaochen is in the studio..."
Ruan Xingwan recovered his thoughts and said, "Go back to sleep. I'm not sleepy. I've missed a lot of work in the past two days."
Pei Shanshan knew that it was useless for anyone to say that she was stubborn, and Ruan Xingwan must be in a complicated mood at the moment, so it would be strange if she could not sleep.
She yawned again: "Okay, then you go to the studio first and don't worry about me. I'll call a driver later."
Ruan Xingwan nodded: "Then I'll leave first."
Ruan Xing arrived at the studio late in the afternoon at three o'clock in the afternoon.
Ruan Chen said: "Where have you been?
I haven't contacted you all day, and Shanshan doesn't know where she went."
Ruan Xingwan said: "She is with me to deal with some things."
Ruan Chen wanted to say something else, but Ruan Xingwan said: "I went into the office to draw a drawing. Call me if you need anything."
After entering the office, Ruan Xingwan sat on a chair, but couldn't calm down all the time. He just looked out the window in trance.
She didn't know how long it took, but she took out her phone and looked through the photos she had taken of the little guy two days ago.
In every picture, he is so cute.
Ruan Xingwan lay weakly on the table, feeling exhausted.
At night, when Ruan Chen came to call her, he found her lying on the table and asleep.
Ruan Chen pursed his lips and closed the door again.
As soon as he turned around, Xu Wan said: "Where is your sister, is she still working?"
"Sleep."
"Asleep?"
Xu Wan wondered, "Wake her up and go home to sleep. What if she catches a cold?"
Just as Xu Wan was about to move forward, Ruan Chen grabbed her arm: "Let her rest. The air conditioner is on, so she won't catch a cold."
"All right."
Xu Wan could only give up.
She had just finished shooting for the magazine this afternoon when she received the new job assigned to her by the evil capitalist.
Looking at it like this, the dog man has made Ruan Xingwan angry again.
There were only two of them in the studio, and after it became quiet, the atmosphere felt awkward for no reason.
Before Xu Wan could rack his brains to raise the topic, Ruan Chen said, "Would you like some water?"
Xu Wan said: "Drink...drink."
When Ruan Chen went to pour water, Xu Wan took out his mobile phone and secretly reported the news.
Two minutes later, Ruan Chen put the quilt in front of her: "Thank you for what happened last time."
Xu Wan quickly put down his phone and reacted for two seconds before saying: "Huh?
It’s okay, it’s a good thing that I happened to meet him, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to help you.”
With that said, Xu Wan picked up the water glass and said: "Ruan Xingwan's younger brother is my younger brother. Why are you being polite to me?"
Ruan Chen: "..."
At this time, Xu Wan's phone vibrated. She was watching and drinking water. After thinking for a few seconds, she tentatively asked: "What... you haven't eaten yet, how about we go out to eat something?"
By the way, pack it up for your sister."
Ruan Chen glanced at her mobile phone without leaving any trace, and he saw through it without saying anything: "Okay."
Xu Wan immediately put down the water glass, stood up and said, "That's great! Let's go."
Ruan Chen pursed his thin lips and couldn't help but said: "I heard that you seem to have won the Best Actress Award?"
"..."
Does this mean her acting skills are exaggerated?
Xu Wan coughed, avoided his question, and answered perfunctorily: "It's all a false name, a false name, not worth mentioning."
Ruan Chen said nothing and walked out with long legs.
Seeing this, Xu Wan quickly followed.
She is really the most dedicated artist of the Zhou family. Not only does she work hard during the day shooting magazines and advertisements, but at night she finally has her own time, and she also helps her boss perform this big show.
It would be really unreasonable if Zhou Cishen didn't give her dozens of days of annual leave.
