It is wiser to do good than to do evil, it is safer to be gentle than violent, and it is better to be sensible than crazy. - Rob Browning
Xu Lang took two days off and took Xiao Yueyue home from Ye Du. The next day, he took Xiao Yueyue out to play.
This time, it was only the father and daughter, neither Ye Du nor Ning Yanran, nor the other members of CSY.
Xiao Yueyue originally wanted to ask Ning Yanran or Ye Du to come with her, but Xu Lang didn't agree. As for why, Xu Lang knew it very well, and Xiao Yueyue also understood.
Ning Yanran likes Xu Lang, and even a fool can see it, not to mention the precocious Xiao Yueyue and the client Xu Lang. Xu Lang does not want to have a relationship with Ning Yanran beyond being a colleague. This is not only to protect Ning Yanran, but also to protect her.
Xiao Yueyue, Li Zhaojing's behavior put Xu Lang in a dilemma last time. Although Xu Lang trusted Ding Haoqiong and Tian Yongchun at the time and knew that they would protect Xiao Yueyue at all costs, but,
Xu Lang was really embarrassed at that time.
Xu Lang's only woman, Shu Yue, died for Xu Lang many years ago. Xu Lang didn't want anyone to die because of him. In Xu Lang's heart, he always thought that he was an ominous person, from family members to lovers, and
Many of the friends around him have left over the years. It's not that Xu Lang doesn't understand Ning Yanran's intentions, but Xu Lang can't accept it and doesn't dare to accept it.
It is impossible to say that Xu Lang's heart is completely occupied by a woman named Shu Yue and that he does not dare to be interested in women other than her. And because of this, Xu Lang is even more reluctant to have anyone else.
Walk into your own life, whether it is Ning Yanran, Ye Du, or Ye Xuefei back then.
In the past two days, Xu Lang took Xiao Yueyue to many places. There were entertainment venues for children and many other places. Xiao Yueyue had a great time. After all, she was still a child.
Every time he saw Xiao Yueyue's innocent smile and sometimes childish and ridiculous words, Xu Lang's eyes were gentle. At this moment, Xu Lang forgot that he was a policeman and the team leader of CSY. He was just a police officer.
Just a father.
Today was the last day of Xu Lang's vacation. Xiao Yueyue was also tired from playing. On the way home, she sat in the passenger seat and looked a little listless. Xu Lang drove quietly.
"Xu Lang, do you like Aunt Ye or Aunt Ning?" Xiao Yueyue asked, leaning on the slowly receding building outside the window.
"Why do you ask that?" Xu Lang turned his head and glanced at Xiao Yueyue, then continued to look ahead and asked.
"I think they all like you." Xiao Yueyue turned her head and looked at Xu Lang's side face and said.
Xu Lang smiled and did not answer the question.
When Xiao Yueyue saw that Xu Lang was silent, she said seriously: "If you don't like them, just tell them clearly, otherwise, they will overthink it and be sad."
Hearing this, Xu Lang was a little surprised, but he was not surprised. After all, his daughter knew that Xu Lang was used to the words of little adults like Xiao Yueyue.
"You are still young and don't understand some things yet. I like them, but it's not the kind of love between men and women." Xu Lang explained.
"Oh, that's how it is."
Xiao Yueyue was thoughtful, and then asked: "Then how do you feel about Aunt Ning?"
"She is very good. She has a good background, a good background, and strong personal abilities. I have worked with her before. She is a policeman with a strong sense of justice."
"Then why aren't you with her?"
"Because I just regard her as a colleague and a comrade-in-arms. When we work, we have a tacit understanding. We understand each other without saying a lot of things."
"Does this mean there is a clear understanding between the two minds?"
"That's right, but I think it's a tacit understanding between us. In fact, it's not just Aunt Ning and I, but also other police uncles and aunts."
"oh."
"What about Aunt Ye?" Xiao Yueyue asked again.
Xu Lang thought for a while and said: "Aunt Ye grew up with me. At that time, she was still a little girl with a runny nose and following my butt. I have no younger brother or younger sister, so I always regarded her as
As for my sister, to be honest, your Aunt Ye is a very good girl and I like her very much, but it is my brother who likes my sister."
"Oh, that's it. So, you don't like Aunt Ning or Aunt Ye, so what kind of woman do you like?" Xiao Yueyue looked at Xu Lang and asked.
Xu Lang was stunned for a moment, then became happy. He turned his head, looked at Xiao Yueyue, and asked, "What's wrong with you? You're still a child. Why are you so concerned about adults' affairs?"
"Tell me quickly, do you like little lolita like Sister Luo, or do you like sexy beauties like Sister Fan?" Xiao Yueyue seemed to be very concerned about this and kept asking.
Xu Lang shook his head and said: "They are all very good girls, but I still don't like them."
"Then who do you like?"
"I like you."
"like me?"
Xiao Yueyue was stunned for a moment, then rolled her eyes.
"You are my daughter, I don't like who you like."
"Xu Lang."
Xiao Yueyue was angry. With a small face, she looked at Xu Lang seriously and shouted Xu Lang's name. However, Xiao Yueyue was too young. Not only did she not have any trace of her deliberate appearance.
The deterrent effect is somewhat comical.
"What's wrong?"
"I'm telling you something serious. Can you be more serious and respect me?"
"Pfft."
Xu Lang couldn't help laughing, but just after he smiled, he saw Xiao Yueyue looking at him with "sharp" eyes. Xu Lang quickly stopped laughing, returned to a serious face, and thought seriously.
, said: "I am telling you this seriously. I don't like anyone except our little Yueyue."
"Why......."
Seeing Xu Lang say this seriously, Xiao Yueyue sighed deeply, turned her head, looked out the window, and murmured to herself: "Xu Lang, Xu Lang, you are destined to be a bachelor in this life.
, how many women’s hearts will be hurt.”
Xu Lang suppressed his laughter and continued driving without speaking.
However, Xu Lang still kept observing Xiao Yueyue from the corner of his eyes. As he watched, Xu Lang's heart felt sour, his eye circles turned red, and his mood became heavy.
How could Xu Lang not understand what Xiao Yueyue meant? She wanted to find a girlfriend for herself so that she wouldn't have to work so hard, but more importantly, she wanted to enjoy maternal love.
From childhood to adulthood, Xiao Yueyue was raised by Xu Lang. She has never enjoyed maternal love. Although Xu Lang gave her the greatest father's love, it is still incomplete without maternal love. Looking at other children, it is incomplete.
Mom, she doesn’t. Although Xiao Yueyue always pretends that it doesn’t matter, does it really matter?
From the members of CSY, to Ning Yanran, and others, everyone who has met Xiao Yueyue said that Xiao Yueyue is smart, sensible, and precocious. However, Xu Lang knew that this was just a disguise for Xiao Yueyue.
Forget it, don't forget, she is still a child.
Xiao Yueyue longed for maternal love more than any other child, but Xu Lang never mentioned her mother Shu Yue in front of her, and Xiao Yueyue never asked. There was a photo of Shu Yue in the necklace around Xiao Yueyue's neck.
, that photo was very small. She took it secretly after Xiao Yueyue asked Xu Lang about Shu Yue for the first time and Xu Lang didn't tell her. Xu Lang knew about it but just pretended not to know.
There were times when Xiao Yueyue was scared, there were times when she was unhappy, and there were times when she felt wronged. However, growing up, Xu Lang rarely saw Xiao Yueyue cry. Even if she was bullied by her peers, she would still act like one.
She was bullied back like a boy. No matter how wronged or scared she was, she rarely shed tears. However, in the dead of night, when Xiao Yueyue couldn't sleep, she would hide under the quilt and secretly have something to say.
He was sobbing, but he didn't dare to make a sound, for fear that Xu Lang would know, and how could Xu Lang not know, he just pretended not to know.
When Ning Yanran found Xu Lang and wanted Xu Lang to come back, Xiao Yueyue was unwilling. She had become accustomed to life in the county. For Xu Lang, S City was his home. However, for Xu Lang, S City was his home.
For Xiao Yueyue, the small town of Zhuxi County is her hometown because she grew up there. How could she be so smart and not know what it means for Ning Yanran to come back to Xu Lang.
However, when Xu Lang decided to come back, Xiao Yueyue agreed. After coming to S City, she quickly adapted to this place, or in other words, she made everyone think that she had adapted to this place, but in fact,
Is it really?
the answer is negative.
Why is Xiao Yueyue willing to follow Ning Yanran, and why she tries every possible means to bring Xu Lang and Ning Yanran together? On the one hand, she wants to enjoy maternal love, but on the other hand, she is actually just protecting herself and Xu Lang. Although she is still young,
, but very smart. When she came to a strange environment, she saw many people, such as the people from the Criminal Investigation Team, the members of CSY, and the people from Lang Ge Detective Agency. These people were all very familiar with Xu Lang.
They respect Xu Lang very much, and are naturally very kind to Xiao Yueyue. However, Xiao Yueyue knows very well that the reason why these people are good to her is because she is Xu Lang's daughter. If it were not for this status, they would treat her like this.
Okay? Definitely not.
Ning Yanran likes Xu Lang, everyone knows it, Xiao Yueyue naturally knows it, and the biggest reason why she is willing to follow Ning Yanran is this. Compared with others, Xiao Yueyue can be sure that when danger comes, she will not
She will hurt Xu Lang, but she will also try her best to protect Xu Lang. She has been without a mother since she was a child, and she can no longer live without a father.
As for Ye Du, she was willing to be with Ye Du except because Ye Du saved her in the first place. However, she was not grateful to Ye Du because of this. Instead, she was very wary of her, even though Ye Du told her a lot about her mother.
, also talked a lot about Xu Lang's childhood. She knew that Xu Lang and Ye Du had a good relationship, but she knew very clearly that Ye Du's appearance was not a coincidence. She had her own purpose. As for what her purpose was, she
have no idea.
After Ye Du and Xu Lang reunited, Xiao Yueyue realized something was wrong with Xu Lang's tangled attitude towards Ye Du. She was still young, but she was very smart and knew how to protect herself.
During this period, Ye Du taught her a lot of things, and she also learned a lot of things, but Xu Lang didn't know these things. She told Ye Du that she wanted to learn these things to become a police officer in the future, but, really
Is that so? Of course not, she is still a child and does not have such far-reaching ideals. She just wants to grow up quickly and protect Xu Lang and not let anyone hurt him, that's all.
There was silence in the car, Xiao Yueyue looked out the window, worried, while Xu Lang drove quietly, also worried.
When it comes to Ye Du, Xu Lang really doesn't know whether he should have a showdown with her at this time. In other words, after Xu Lang's showdown with Ye Du, if the result he gets is what he guessed, Xu Lang doesn't know that he
Can you accept it, or are you willing to accept it?
Xu Lang lost too many things. Precisely because he lost too much, Xu Lang cherished it more and more.
Cherish everything you have now.
————
In this way, in silence all the way, Xu Lang and the others returned to the community.
However, when the car drove into the community, Xu Lang and Xiao Yueyue saw three people, Ye Du, Ning Yanran and Chen Lingxuan.
Seeing Ye Du and Ning Yanran here, Xu Lang was not surprised at all. However, when he saw Chen Lingxuan, Xu Lang frowned subconsciously. However, he didn't say anything. He stopped the car and
He and Xiao Yueyue got out of the car.
Three women stood at the gate of the community, with some distance between them. Ning Yanran and Chen Lingxuan stood closer. The two were talking about something, while Ye Du stood quietly on the other side, watching.
They didn't speak, they just listened patiently. The atmosphere seemed harmonious, but it was also very strange.
After seeing Xu Lang and Xiao Yueyue coming back, they all stopped talking and looked at Xu Lang and Xiao Yueyue.
"Xu Lang."
"Officer Xu."
"Brother Xu Lang."
Three different names sounded almost at the same time, which made Xu Lang very helpless.
After Xiao Yueyue saw them, she did not run over immediately. Instead, she turned to look at Xu Lang with a look that was looking for a good show. This made Xu Lang more helpless. He glared at Xiao Yueyue fiercely.
Yueyue turned a blind eye.
Arriving in front of the three people, before Xu Lang could speak, Xiao Yueyue shouted in a sweet voice: "Aunt Ning, Aunt Ye, this sister is good."
As Xiao Yueyue spoke, the three women's eyes instantly focused on Xiao Yueyue, which also made Xu Lang temporarily relieved.
The three of them all squatted down and started chatting with Xiao Yueyue, mainly asking where Xu Lang took her to play today, what they played, did they have fun, and other words, Xiao Yueyue also answered them one by one.
He answered, looking as happy as a child going out to play with his father.
After the chat ended, the three women stood up and looked at Xu Lang.
"Why are you here?" Xu Lang asked.
Ning Yanran glanced at Xu Lang, then at Chen Lingxuan and Ye Du, and then said: "Oh, I have been very busy with work recently and have no time to take care of Xiao Yueyue. I haven't seen Xiao Yueyue for a long time. I miss her.
It just so happens that I got off work early today, so I came to see her."
Hearing what Ning Yanran said, Xu Lang nodded and then looked at Chen Lingxuan.
Chen Lingxuan was the youngest among the three of them. Seeing Xu Lang looking at her, she felt a little embarrassed, her face turned slightly red, she lowered her head and said, "I found a job and I have always wanted to say thank you.
However, every time I go to see you, you are very busy, and I finally ask where you live, so I just want to come and see you and say thank you."
"Found a job? This is a good thing." Xu Lang said quickly.
"It's not because of your help that I found a job so quickly." Chen Lingxuan said with a smile.
Xu Lang waved his hands and said nothing more.
Finally, Xu Lang looked at Ye Du, and Ye Du also looked at her. The two looked at each other without saying a word. It seemed that everything was in silence.
Xu Lang looked at the three women, thought for a moment, and asked, "Have you eaten?"
The three women looked at each other and shook their heads.
"That's just right. We haven't eaten either. I'll treat you to dinner. Let's go."
After saying this, he took Xiao Yueyue and the three women to find a restaurant for dinner.
This meal was very embarrassing. During the meal, except for Xiao Yueyue, the four adults were a little absent-minded, especially Ning Yanran and Ye Du. They looked at Xu Lang and each other from time to time.
Xu Lang didn't eat much, mainly because he couldn't eat anymore. Being watched by three women, no matter how thick-skinned Xu Lang was, he couldn't bear it. What's more, when eating, the diners around him saw them.
Everyone at the table looked at him with surprise, confusion, and confusion, which made Xu Lang even more uncomfortable.
After finally finishing the meal, Xu Lang went to pay the bill. After walking out of the restaurant, Chen Lingxuan left first, and Ye Du also left after chatting with Xiao Yueyue. In the end, only Ning Yanran was left.
.
The two of them walked towards Xu Lang's house in silence. Along the way, Ning Yanran wanted to speak several times, but every time the words came to her lips, she swallowed them back.
Seeing that they were about to arrive at Xu Lang's community, Ning Yanran still had no intention of speaking. Xu Lang didn't know what to say, while Xiao Yueyue looked at Xu Lang and Ning Yanran with some gloating.
Arriving at the gate of the community, Ning Yanran stopped and said, "School will start soon. Don't forget about Xiao Yueyue's start of school."
Xu Lang nodded and said, "Don't worry, I won't forget it."
Ning Yanran nodded and said nothing more.
"Why don't you go up and sit down?" After a moment of silence, Xu Lang said.
Ning Yanran thought for a while, shook her head and said, "No, I have something else to do, so I'll go back first."
After saying this, Ning Yanran said hello to Xiao Yueyue, then turned and left.
After Ning Yanran also left, Xu Lang took a long breath. It was obvious that he was really nervous just now.
"Oh...it's so difficult."
Xiao Yueyue suddenly said something at this time, and then ran towards the community. This made Xu Lang feel helpless and funny at the same time. This quirky little girl, but Xu Lang didn't think too much about it.
