“Got it.” Lan Yu Feng opened the car door and shoved the child in first. Propping his long arm on the car door, he looked up to see Zige still frozen in place, and he prodded, “What are you waiting for? Get in the car.”
It was only then that Ziggy realized afterward and looked at him with her jaw on the ground, “You’re coming with us?”
“The baby is mine, I have no reason not to go.” He was unimpressed and urged her on, “Get in the car.”
Zige followed his instructions and got into the car. As the car slid out of the villa area and up the driveway, she looked at him sideways and asked with some concern, “How should I explain the last few years?”
Lan Yu Feng didn’t look at her, just said as if nothing had happened, “You can explain as you see fit.”
“No way!” Ziggy vetoed him like that almost immediately, “My mom would be so mad that she’d kick you out of the house immediately.”
Only then did Lan Yu Feng slightly side-eye her, his deep eyes looking at her meaningfully, “You’re afraid she’ll have a bad impression of me?”
Zige froze for a moment, her heart beating extremely fast as she met the prying eyes. Coughing, she hugged the baby and nodded honestly, “Uh-huh.”
“Why?” His lips quirked.
“… You’re the baby’s father!” She made the best excuse she could, “In case my mom does sweep you off your feet, Little Bean will cry. Right, Little Bean?”
Ziggy deliberately picked up the conversation with the child.
Little Bean, however, shook his head disdainfully, “He’s a man, he won’t cry.”
Zi Ge was dumbfounded by what she heard. Inadvertently looked toward Lan Yu Feng, but bumped into his deeper and deeper eyes, the bottom of his eyes contained a rare smile, that look actually has a kind of indescribable charm, like the morning sun slowly bloomed through the mist, although light, but also not lose the warmth.
“Lan Yu Feng, you should smile more.” She thought, the words already coming out, “When you smile, you look just as good as Little Bean.”
Lan Yu Feng just looked at her, silent.
When Mo Simin saw her daughter and Lan Yu Feng, she warmly greeted them as they entered. When she looked down and saw her child, her face was all smiles and bloomed like a flower.
“Ah yo, which family’s little baby is this, so pretty?” Mo Simin squatted down and greeted the child, then tilted her head and said to her daughter, “This child is better looking than Auntie Wang’s grandson next door. Auntie Wang holds her grandson out every day to show off, really envious of your mom.”
“Mom, you can show off later too.” Ziggy stroked the child’s head in amusement.
“Little Douzi, call someone.” Lan Yu Feng pressed the child’s shoulder.
“Grandma!” Little Douzi immediately called out sweetly, his big eyes fixedly looking at Mo Simin, full of aura. Mo Simin’s heart instantly burst with joy, “Aiyo, really good. Little Zi ah, you say when you can get married and have such a cute child would be good.”
Zi Ge and Lan Yu Feng glanced at each other and didn’t point it out first, only saying, “Mom, let’s go in first, I still have something to talk to you alone.”
“Hey, look at me, look at the kid looking stupid.” Mo Simin was in a good mood and led the child through the door first.
I don’t care about the two adults following behind, took the lead to open the refrigerator, the snacks we have in the house are rummaged out to the little bean. The little bean happily embraced a full embrace, and said thank you in a loud voice. Satisfied to lift up the little head, smiling at the two adults, “Daddy, Mommy, why don’t you bring the little bean early to see Grandma? Grandma has a lot of delicious oh!”
Enough to feed him for days!
Mo Simin didn’t care much when she heard the child call ‘daddy’ and ‘mommy’. Nowadays, children who have a better relationship with their parents are always called mom and dad. She smiled at her daughter and said, “This child, her little mouth is so sweet. Your friend’s?”
Before Zige could speak, Lan Yu Feng had already taken the lead, “Auntie, he’s my son.”
“What?” Mo Simin thought she had heard wrong, but then, looking at Lan Yu Feng’s certain look, she understood. No wonder it felt like this kid looked familiar! His eyebrows were really similar to him!
This time, Mo Simin’s face instantly stretched. Raising her eyes and glaring at her daughter without a trace, she barely managed to squeeze out a few smiles again after meeting Lan Yu Feng, “So Mr. Lan already has a child. See how confused I am, I used to think that you and our Zige were a couple.”
The tone, all of a sudden, was much more detached.
“Mom …,” Ziggy tried to interrupt her.
“Don’t you talk too much!” Mo Simin reprimanded her daughter back without a good breath, and continued to force a smile as she spoke to Lan Yufeng, “Although our Xiaozi is very simple, however, she’s still young, and must not be so inexplicably made a stepmother to a child, Mr. Lan, don’t you think so? I’m a mom who can’t let my good daughter suffer this kind of aggravation. Yes, you’re a good man. If you hadn’t come to my rescue last time, I’d be dead by now. However, this child is my heart meat, even if it is …”
Ziggy rolled her eyes.
It was rare for Lan Yu Feng to actually be so patient and keep listening, moreover, he even nodded his head repeatedly, approving of his mother’s words.
Mo Simin “crackling” said a lot of words, roughly that Zi Ge will never give the child as a mother, to him as a girlfriend clouds. Looking at Lan Yu Feng’s nodding attitude, Mo Simin thought that her words had a great effect. Thinking to herself, he was also a sensible person. Next, just convince his daughter.
But …
Lan Yu Feng’s next sentence directly shook Mo Simin silly on the spot.
It was a simple family gathering.
Su Jie was busy in the kitchen with her apron on, cutting fruits, pouring juice, and dutifully making good hospitality. Zige looked at her busy figure and stood with her tea and smiled.
“Laughing at what? Laughing gives me the creeps.” Suje carefully cut the golden oranges one by one and arranged them in the shape of flowers.
“You say, how come women are so different before and after marriage? It used to be really hard to imagine that you were also willing to wash your hands of a man and surround the boiler.”
Su Jie twisted her head and looked at the hall. In the hall, two men were sitting on the sofa chatting, her eyes fell on Su Chen, and there was a tenderness in the bottom of her eyes that she didn’t even notice.
“If you’re already married, it’s a home, it’s got to have a homey atmosphere, you can’t send him out for takeout. How bleak it sounds.”
Ziggy nodded and said heartily, “I envy you all.”
“Envy us?” Suje gave her a look, “Can’t you guys get married right away too?”
Zige hung her head, looking at the teacup in her hand, “He hasn’t mentioned it to me again, and I don’t know what he thinks.”
“You’re still thinking about the past?” Suje frowned slightly.
Zige shook her head, “I didn’t think about it. I’m just worried about what he’ll think, in fact, I want to go pay my respects to his parents and discuss it with him when I have the chance.”
Su Jie nodded slightly, “It’s not easy for the two of you to be together, what’s in the past is in the past, you enlighten him.”
“Uh-huh. I know.” Zige nodded, her eyes following Suje’s down the hall. Both women’s expressions were equally soft, harboring fondness.
“Su Chen doesn’t seem to be in a good mood lately.” Zige suddenly said.
Su Jie’s face has a worried look, nodding her head, “Uh-huh. It’s still because of Su Xi’s matter, the last time he suddenly ran to the viaduct really scared Su Chen, he will still wake up in the middle of the night to smoke now.”
Zige pursed her lips and didn’t say anything.
Xi Sujie put down the fruit knife and sighed, “You think there can be any way to make him relax a bit? It’s a pretty bad feeling when he’s so upset and I can’t help.”
“What more methods do you need? You stand in front of him, he will be in a much better mood. Can’t really …” Zige laughed badly, lowered his voice to give her an idea, “you simply don’t wear anything to stand in front of him, to see if he’s happy or not.”
Su Jie laughed along with her and looked at her askance, ”I realized that you’ve become dishonest after being with Lan Yu Feng ah. Honestly, this can’t be from your experience, right? Hmm?”
“Yeah, yeah, take it and use it, it’ll work for you!” Zige was cheeky enough to mess with her.
The two women were having a good time in the kitchen talking privately and laughing.
“How is Su Xi doing?” Lan Yu Feng asked Su Chen as he took a sip from his wine glass.
Su Chen smiled faintly, somewhat helpless, “I really don’t know how to persuade her, too dead-eyed. I proposed to hire a psychiatrist for her, but …” he shrugged, “My parents think I’m talking nonsense.”
Lan Yu Feng’s deep eyes glanced at him, pursed his lips, and spoke briefly, sincerely, “I’m sorry.”
“Come on, it’s fortunate that you were the one who promised me to coax her, otherwise, she can’t even say she’s dead now.” Su Chen panted. Drinking most of the glass of wine in one breath, he turned his head to look at Lan Yu Feng again and smiled sardonically, “You said, what exactly is it about you that attracts her, so that she just loves you to death?”
“Perhaps, she’s more upset now.”
Su Chen nodded, “Yes, not willingly. How can one be willing? Not any woman has the courage to give a man to spend more than 10 years. Moreover … to her, you did really ruthless …”
Su Chen leaned back on the sofa, his eyes looking darkly at the ceiling, “I always think, I really don’t know whether I should be glad that you’re so dry, or whether I should feel sad for Su Xi.”
Lan Yu Feng frowned slightly and gave him a sideways glance, pursing his lips in silence.
Su Chen shot up, smiled a little, and clinked glasses with him, ”I don’t mean to blame you, this thing called feelings can’t be forced. Okay! Let’s not talk about these unhappy topics, accompany me to drink this bottle of wine, and what should happen in the future. Although Su Xi makes us all unhappy, however, it’s not so bad that she affects our feelings.”
Lan Yu Feng nodded, “I hope so.”
Hopefully … so …
But who can dictate what will happen in the future?
On the way back, the streetlights were misty.
He and Su Chen had drunk a lot of wine, and at this moment, he was already slightly drunk. Zi Ge sat down beside him, and he leaned his body towards her.
“What’s with all the drinking?”
Zige heartily patted his cheek, “Sleep well for a while, I’ll call you when we get home.”
“Couldn’t sleep.” Leaning over her shoulder, he spoke low. Breath sprayed right into the crook of her neck, with the mellow scent of red wine.
Ziggy sidestepped slightly and looked down at him, asking softly, “What’s wrong?”
Lan Yu Feng didn’t say anything, just took her hand. Five fingers spread out and firmly wrapped around hers. Zige pursed her lips and smiled a little, also backhanding and hooking his fingers.
He suddenly kissed her neck.
Ziggy looked toward the driver’s seat with embarrassment and hurriedly moved away a bit, turning sideways and lowering her voice to remind him, “You’re drunk.”
“I’m wide awake.” He didn’t allow her to escape, and with a hook of his long arm, he pulled her back again. Fingers gripped her lower jaw and lifted her slightly flushed cheeks, giving her no room to retreat as he bent his head to kiss her.
Bossy, bossy.
