At eight o'clock the next morning, Chen Wanlu appeared at the door of Ruan Xingwan's house on time.
She crossed her arms across her chest and looked around: "Why did you come to live in this shabby place? Zhou Cishen dumped you?"
As soon as Chen Wanlu finished speaking, a slender and tall figure appeared in the room.
Chen Wanlu immediately became as quiet as a chicken and found an inconspicuous corner to stand to reduce her sense of presence.
Zhou Cishen looked at Ruan Xingwan: "Do you have a problem with me?"
Ruan Xingwan: "..."
Is he just waiting at the door, waiting for this opportunity?
Ruan Xingwan showed no expression: "Go to whoever told you to go."
Zhou Cishen raised his eyebrows and looked at the breakfast on the table: "Do you have mine?"
"No."
As soon as Ruan Xingwan finished speaking, Zhou Cishen said to Ruan Chen: "The driver is waiting for you downstairs, go quickly."
Ruan Chen: "..."
He handed the freshly mixed milk powder to Ruan Xingwan: "Then I'm leaving."
Ruan Xingwan hugged the little one and took the bottle: "Eat before leaving."
Ruan Chen coughed, picked up his things and left quickly: "I have class in the morning, and I won't be able to make it in time."
After he left, Zhou Cishen sat at the dining table: "You have done so much, it would be a waste if you can't finish it. I happen to be free, so I can help you with this."
Ruan Xingwan sneered twice, and just as she was about to say something, the little guy arched in her arms, his face turned red, and it looked like he had diarrhea.
She looked at Zhou Cishen and the corners of her lips curled up.
Okay, you want to eat, right?
Ruan Xingwan put the little one on the sofa, changed the diaper, walked a few more steps, and threw it into the trash can next to the dining table.
Zhou Cishen, who just picked up the chopsticks: "..."
Ruan Xingwan met his eyes with an extremely gentle smile: "Why don't you eat it? Is it not to your liking?"
Zhou Cishen instantly felt that women are really scary, especially women who are angry.
His expression remained unchanged, he stood up and said: "Suddenly I remembered that there is something else in the company, please take your time."
Ruan Xingwan said slowly: "Didn't you say that it would be a waste not to finish it?"
"You can keep it for lunch and continue eating."
After Zhou Cishen finished speaking, he turned around and strode away.
Ruan Xingwan looked at his back, obviously in a good mood, with the corners of his lips raised.
Over there, Chen Wanlu had already changed the little guy's diaper. After seeing Zhou Cishen leave, she moved to Ruan Xingwan's side, her expression a little more serious: "Is he bankrupt?"
Ruan Xingwan's good mood suddenly stopped and he turned his head to look at her expressionlessly.
Chen Wanlu quickly made a gesture to shut up: "Don't worry, I will definitely help you keep this secret.
We are now grasshoppers on the same boat, is that the truth?"
Ruan Xingwan was too lazy to pay attention to her, and after telling her some of the little guy's living habits, he added: "I come back every night at about 6:30, or if it's later, it's 7:00. If anything happens on the way, you can call me directly.
Telephone.
If you want to go out, there will be people following you. They are downstairs. You may not be able to see them, but they know all your whereabouts."
Chen Wanlu murmured: "Why does it look like a spy war? Isn't it dangerous?"
"Didn't you say that as long as you live, your child will live?"
"That's just...a metaphor."
Ruan Xingwan said: "I will tell you the same thing again.
No matter what danger you encounter, as long as your child is fine, you will be fine."
"Okay, okay, I understand, how dangerous it can be in broad daylight, but people on the street won't use knives or guns."
Ruan Xingwan looked at the little guy who was playing on the cushion, walked over, pinched his little face, and said softly: "Mom is going out, you should be good at home."
The little guy didn't know whether he understood or not. He waved the toy at her twice and hummed something in his mouth.
Ruan Xingwan smiled, stood up and said to Chen Wanlu, "I'm leaving."
But his eyes were always looking at the little guy, and he couldn't bear to move away even a little bit.
Chen Wanlu said quietly from the side: "Just get used to it. When my daughter was in kindergarten, I was almost the same as you.
A child is always the same every day, and sometimes after just one glance, I always feel like something has changed about him."
Ruan Xingwan pursed her lips and said nothing.
She didn't just look at him less.
As the little guy grew up, she only saw him a few times.
In my memory, he seems to have always been such a small person.
When she was on Anqiao Street, if she had observed more carefully, she would have discovered that the little guy was actually pathological.
But she only thought that he was born not long ago.
He is completely different now than he was then.
The whole body is full of health and rosy.
She had been thinking a lot about the little guy these past few days, and she could actually understand why Zhou Cishen hid the fact that the child was still alive from her in the first place.
During that time, she was emotionally unstable. She didn't even have the ability to protect herself, let alone revenge. Even if she knew that the child was still alive, what could she do to give them another chance to hurt him?
Zhou Cishen hid the little guy from her, the Zhou family, and everyone else.
To a certain extent, it gives the little guy enough protection so that he can grow up healthily in a safe environment.
But……
But she still couldn't accept it. Every time when she was about to know the truth, Zhou Cishen would always use various reasons to tell her that her guess was wrong.
And she clearly asked him more than once and gave him a chance.
Ruan Xingwan recovered his thoughts, took a breath, picked up his things and left.
As soon as she reached the elevator, Pei Shanshan came out of the room and whispered: "Xingxing, are you really going to leave the child to her?"
Ruan Xingwan nodded: "Don't worry, it'll be fine."
Pei Shanshan shook her head: "I'm not worried. Anyway, there's nothing going on in the studio these two days. I'll keep an eye on her for a few days.
Don't worry, go about your business, just leave it to me."
Ruan Xingwan smiled: "Okay."
After Ruan Xingwan entered the elevator, Pei Shanshan entered the next door.
In the room, Chen Wanlu was using toys to amuse the little guy who was sad because Ruan Xingwan left.
Seeing Pei Shanshan come in and looking at each other, Chen Wanlu immediately put down the things in her hands and coughed: "Why are you here?"
Pei Shanshan said: "I think you are unreliable."
Chen Wanlu snorted and was about to reply when the little guy started sobbing again.
Chen Wanlu quickly started to coax him, and it took her a long time to divert his attention.
Pei Shanshan raised her eyebrows when she saw this: "Not bad, I really didn't realize that you have a good way of raising children."
Chen Wanlu said: "I'm afraid that some people will say that I can't even do this little thing well. Please tell me, don't even think about seeing my jokes, and don't look down on others."
So, for the next time, Pei Shanshan stared at Chen Wanlu.
