In the study at this time, Mr. Xiao and Xiao Lingchen were playing chess. The old man held the white piece, and Xiao Lingchen held the black piece. After a while, all the black pieces were blocked by the white pieces. The old man suddenly said: "Lingchen, you know why grandpa came to you today.
Because of something?"
Although Xiao Lingchen knew it well, he still pretended not to understand and said with a smile: "Grandpa naturally misses his little great-grandson."
The old man smiled complicatedly: "Ling Chen, there is no need to say such things between you and me. I think you must already know some things."
Xiao Lingchen kept silent and didn't answer.
"Ling Chen, Yu Xi's child is not yours." The old man stated this fact calmly and sighed slightly after speaking.
When they forced Su Yuxi to abort the child, it was Xiao Lingchen who desperately protected them.
After the child was born, they planned to give it away. But strangely, this little guy turned out to have a typical rh-negative blood type. The Xiao family also had this blood type.
This blood type is very rare and may have some connection with the Xiao family, so the child was not sent away.
This little guy has been clever and very lovable since he was a child. Although he is not a child of the Xiao family, they have always raised him as a grandson of the Xiao family.
But some things must be said plainly.
Xiao Lingchen nodded, his deep eyes calm: "Yes, I know."
Although he expected Xiao Lingchen to react this way, the old man was still surprised. Their Lingchen was calmer than he thought.
This man is much deeper than he imagined. If the Xiao family is really in his hands, he doesn't know whether it will be a blessing or a curse.
The old man nodded and shook his head: "Ling Chen, why are you embarrassing yourself like this? There are so many good girls in the world, why is it her?"
Xiao Lingchen smiled and said nothing.
All the good things in the world are not as good as hers.
"Ling Chen, I'm getting older and may not live much longer. I hope you and Yuxi can move back together. In the future, the Xiao family will still count on you and Yuxi." After finishing speaking, the old man sighed sadly.
tone.
"Grandpa, don't say such depressing words. I will do my best as long as I try my best." There was no emotion in Xiao Lingchen's eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"That's it for today's chess game. I'm a little tired. You can go back first." The old man frowned, feeling very tired.
…
The driver's car came to pick up Su Yuxi and took Pei Mubai back to the hospital.
Xiao Lingchen came back very late and seemed to have been drunk. Su Yuxi didn't sleep either and kept waiting for him.
"Why are you still drinking?" Su Yuxi cooked him a cup of hangover soup.
Xiao Lingchen took it, but did not drink it. Instead, he held her hand and said, "Xixi, do you really want to know what happened in the past?"
Su Yuxi's heart suddenly became nervous. She really wanted to know before, but now that Xiao Lingchen asked, she was afraid of knowing again. Something bad must have happened in the past, so Xiao Lingchen didn't tell her.
Su Yuxi nodded and shook her head: "I used to want to know, but now I don't want to know. Ling Chen, how about we live a good life? I have you and Xiaobao, and I am very content. I don't want to know about other things."
Xiao Lingchen didn't say anything and walked out quietly. In the past, he just wanted to keep her by his side, but Pei Mubai's appearance really made him feel a sense of crisis.
Xiao Lingchen went on a business trip again, and Su Yuxi didn't know where he was going.
Xiao Lingchen didn't tell her, and she didn't dare to ask any more questions.
Su Yuxi called Xiao Lingchen, and Xiao Lingchen's cell phone showed that it was turned off. The relationship between them seemed to have returned to the past, becoming two parallel lines.
It was already the third day, and Su Yuxi couldn't bear it any longer. She took out her mobile phone and was about to call Xiao Lingchen, but something came to her mind and she gave up.
If Xiao Lingchen deliberately avoided her, even if she called, Xiao Lingchen would not answer the phone. After much deliberation, Su Yuxi decided to send him a text message, but what content would be better?
Su Yuxi was editing the text message, but she was a little embarrassed about calling him. What should she call him? Husband? Ling Chen?
Although they were husband and wife, she seemed to have never called him husband in front of him... Su Yuxi thought about it, but it was better not to call him husband, so she said: "Are you busy?"
Xiao Lingchen did not reply.
Su Yuxi gave up, Xiao Lingchen was avoiding her on purpose.
Su Yuxi coaxed Xiaobao and soon fell asleep. Xiao Lingchen's text message came back in the middle of the night, with only a few short words: "I'm busy, you go to bed first."
After receiving Xiao Lingchen's reply, Su Yuxi sobered up. She didn't expect Xiao Lingchen to reply, and she was even a little excited.
"Good night, husband." Su Yuxi replied. This was the first time she called him that.
This time, she could finally sleep peacefully. Just as she was about to go to bed, Xiao Lingchen's call came in.
"It's so late, why aren't you sleeping yet?" His tone was calm and without any waves.
"I just went to bed. Why aren't you still asleep? Are you still working now?" Su Yuxi asked cautiously.
"Go to sleep." Xiao Lingchen did not answer her directly. The words he just said about husband made him feel strange.
She is his wife, but in the past few years, their relationship has been strange. He didn't think it was anything before, but now, he thinks of her and the relationship between her and Pei Mubai from time to time, and he feels very confused.
"Okay then." Su Yuxi felt a little disappointed, Xiao Lingchen had no interest in continuing the conversation with her.
"Don't think too much, I'm just on a business trip." Xiao Lingchen added when he was about to hang up the phone.
After hearing these words, Su Yuxi felt a little comforted and replied: "Come back soon, Xiaobao misses you very much."
"Don't you want to?" The person who was about to hang up suddenly asked.
"I...will wait for you to come back with Xiaobao." Su Yuxi hung up the phone after saying that.
It was impossible to say that Su Yuxi had no feelings for Xiao Lingchen at all. She vaguely felt that she liked him a little bit, but she knew very well that such liking was not love.
The relationship between her and Xiao Lingchen was more of a family relationship.
After hanging up the phone, Su Yuxi closed her eyes and thought for a while. Just as she was about to fall asleep, the cell phone on the bedside table rang again. She glanced at it and saw that there was no note on the number, but it was a familiar number, Pei Mubai.
Su Yuxi hung up without thinking. Just as she hung up, Pei Mubai called again. Su Yuxi hung up again without thinking. Pei Mubai was particularly patient and called again. Su Yuxi really had no choice.
Had to pick up.
"Mr. Pei, what's the matter with you?" Su Yuxi's tone was obviously impatient.
