Zi Ge let out a soft ‘hmm’, her hand subconsciously gripping his hand tightly.
“Then I don’t want to ask.” Lan Yu Feng’s voice sank slightly, he just looked at her fixedly, “I just want to remember the happy moments in the past, anything too sad, I’d rather it never happened.”
Happy moments?
Was there ever a happy moment between … them before? Now that I think about it, even if there had been, it would have been so brief as to seem like a flash in the pan. Not even as much as this recent period of calm.
She pressed her face against his chest, “In fact, I am a bit selfish. Yan Nan hopes that you will recover your memories earlier, can go back and take the QU Group into your hands early, and can solve the Blue Sect’s embarrassing situation of having no head right now, but … I so hope that you can always live a simple life like you are right now …”
Lan Yu Feng gently caressed her soft hair, “So … we go with the flow?”
“Uh-huh.” Zi Ge nodded as she buried herself in his arms, her arms tightening to hold him even tighter. Resting her lower jaw on his shoulder, she spoke again, “Where’s Su Xi? She seems to be very sad. The words you just said were too direct and hurt her pride. What she said, the words that she fought to the death to save you when she was a child, were also the truth.”
Lan Yu Feng closed his eyes, “I know that she is kind to me. These past few months, she has been taking care of me personally, and I once thought that perhaps, if I really wanted to get married in the future, she might be the one who would be very suitable as a wife. But that was before I met you.”
“In fact, compared to what she did for you, what I gave was far less.” What Zi Ge said was also from his heart. Su Xi could disregard her life for him; while she, herself, made him almost lose his life.
“I don’t want her to have any more unrealistic fantasies about me; it’s not fair to her, or to you.”
Ziggy smiled, moved to embrace him tighter.
If you can …
How she wished that this simple happiness could continue like this.
Everyone thought Su Xi would know better and leave Moscow this time. However, to everyone’s surprise, not only did she not leave, but instead she continued to pack her bags and stayed.
Since she was going to stay, no one would open their mouths to kick her out. In any case, the care that had been given to Lan Yu Feng over this period of time was evident to everyone.
Zi Ge was in the kitchen cooking herself when Su Xi pushed her way in. Zi Ge glanced at her and didn’t speak, only dropping her attention to the meal. Su Xi sized her up for a while and spoke somewhat slyly, “This child, is it Brother Yu Feng’s?”
“Uh-huh.” Ziggy nodded.
Su Xi is, after all, a person in the circle, and she doesn’t believe all of that media crap.
However, it was still a little hard to hear Zige’s words.
“Speaking of which, how can I compare with you?” Su Xi smiled to herself and poured herself a glass of water, “You are the mother of his two children, I’ve given no more than I have, but not as much as your courage to give birth to a child for him twice in spite of your name …”
Zige froze slightly and sidled over, only to see her head lowered, her face poignant.
“Love this kind of thing, really false …,” like talking to himself, but also like talking to Zi Ge. For a while, Su Xi took a deep breath and turned around, as if casually chatting with her, “You’re a pregnant woman now, it’s so hard to cook and cook, why don’t you let the maid come?”
“He hasn’t had a good appetite lately, and I wanted to make something that catered to him.”
Su Xi laughed a little, smiling sadly. Spreading out the palm of her left hand in front of Zi Ge. Zi Ge looked over and saw that her originally delicate fingertips were covered with a cut. New ones and old ones, intermingled together.
“You are?” Ziggy looked at her in surprise.
“I don’t know how to make anything except soup. Even if I could make soup, I can’t chop vegetables. But I want to fatten him up, and looking at his thinning body is as bad for me as it is for you.” Su Xi laughed a little, with an obvious self-deprecation, “Obviously, I can’t even compare to you in cooking. Even if … he learns more seriously, what’s the use if he doesn’t like it?”
Xu was infected by her low mood, Zi Ge listened to the heart is also a little not taste. Looking at her, said, “I know … that you have paid a lot for him. In fact, he is also very clear.”
“In this world, there’s nothing more bitter than when you’re willing to give everything, but you can’t receive even a little bit in return.” Su Xi looked at Zi Ge, “Last time when you were in the detention center, the photo I showed you, remember?”
Ziggy lowered her eyes and let out a soft ‘hmm’.
“That’s the one I took secretly when he was drunk at my house.” Su Xi lifted her eyes to look at Zi Ge and said frankly, “I was hoping that photo would make you guys misunderstand a bit.”
Ziggy looked at her in surprise.
“In that case, you are now …”
“Don’t think that I’m admitting defeat by doing this now.” Su Xi interrupted her, her lower jaw slightly raised, her eyes sour, but stubbornly resisted the urge to shed tears, “I just want to tell him that I love him more than anyone else. Love to the point … where I can force myself to give him up.”
Although …
Doing so hurts like a cramp.
Zige laughed a little, “Actually, you don’t have to prove anything in front of him. Instead of giving up on him, you should let yourself go. If you’ve been living for this relationship for more than ten years, then you’re free to find more of yourself in the next few days.”
Looking at her sincere gaze, Su Xi froze slightly.
Is she … free? Could it really be done to give him up from then on, never to be entangled again?
Actually …
Until this moment, she wasn’t sure herself.
“Don’t talk to me about these false reasonings.” Returning to her senses, Su Xi coughed dryly and slatted her face, “Also, I won’t leave here until I confirm that you can take good care of Brother Yu Feng. So, you’d better not try to get rid of me either.”
After saying that, and not waiting for Zige to say anything, Su Xi turned around, straightened her back and headed out of the kitchen.
Looking at her pretendedly proud back, Zige smiled.
“Right, there’s something else.” Su Xi turned around, “You probably don’t know about the news that’s making waves in the country right now, right? Your fiancé, Ke Hengjun has announced that he has quit the entertainment industry. Moreover, while all the media was looking for him all over the world, he has already vaporized.”
Did he really quit show business?
That was good, too. The last few years of acting had long ago messed up his life, and even his stomach had a lot of problems.
Now that you’re out, you can take the opportunity to get well.
So, he’s off to the African savannah for a break now?
Thinking about all this, Zi Ge was still somewhat relieved in his heart. He only pitied his loyal fans, but after a new generation of idols came out in a few days, it would be a different scene again!
Not long after Su Xi left, Lan Yu Feng appeared at the kitchen door …
Giving her a worried look, he asked, “What did she say to you?”
“Secrets.” Ziggy pretended to be secretive, “Private things between women.”
Lan Yu Feng narrowed his eyes, “It looks like you guys are having a good conversation.”
At least, she seemed to be in a good mood.
“Otherwise, do you think it’s only right that we should fight over you?” Ziggy joked.
Lan Yu Feng spread his hands, “I’m just worried about her attitude towards you. She has a somewhat proud personality.”
“Don’t worry, she was quite polite to me.”
“So, how do you feel about her having to continue living here?” Lan Yu Feng cared more about her feelings.
“Having a love rival with you every day, honestly, if I don’t care at all, it must be a lie.” Zige walked up to him as she untied the apron on her body. He then subconsciously let go and held her hand, and heard her continue, “However, she’s also your savior anyways, even if we don’t talk about the things that happened before you lost your memory, with the way she’s been taking care of you these past few months, it’s impossible for us to kick her out.”
Lan Yu Feng sat and embraced her, his ear pressed against her bulging belly, enjoying listening to the movement of the child in his abdomen. Only after a long time did he speak, “As long as she doesn’t affect us, she can stay as long as she wants.”
At mealtime, four people dine at one table.
Such a scene was more or less awkward than before when there was just one more Yan Nan’s three.
Zi Ge had only just sat down and was about to ladle the soup for Lan Yu Feng when a hand had already taken his bowl over, and couldn’t have been more natural to get up and ladle a bowl for him.
“You’ve had a poor appetite lately, drink some pickled cabbage soup first to whet your appetite.” Su Xi looked deep into Lan Yu Feng’s eyes and lightly rested the bowl in front of him.
Thoughtfully took the spoon again.
“Thanks.” His response, however, was unusually flat and seemed somewhat detached. In fact, it was almost no different from his attitude over the past few months, but, compared to the gentle way he spoke to Zi Ge, Su Xi’s heart stabbed down hard.
Zige looked at this scene in a daze, and for a moment, she actually didn’t know what she should do to react appropriately.
Lan Yu Feng, however, turned his face to look at her, “Don’t you like to drink sauerkraut soup lately?”
After saying that, he pushed the bowl of soup that Su Xi had scooped up, in front of Zi Ge.
This time, even Yan Nan could not help but be shocked for a moment.
Mr. This action of rejecting Miss Su Xi is also really obvious. Completely disregarding a bit of a girl’s face.
Yan Nan quietly glanced at Su Xi’s already white face, and in his heart, he mourned for the godly situation.
Zi Ge could also feel Su Xi’s eyes that had looked towards her, she forced a smile and pushed that soup back again, “You just drink it, I’ll do it myself.”
“You guys don’t need to push around, it’s just a bowl of soup that I ladled.” Su Xi was a bit sullen and reached out to bring the soup over. Without even a glance at them, she only spoke stiffly, “I’ll just drink it myself.”
The action of ladling the soup with your hands is entirely a habit and instinct developed over the past few months.
She actually did not expect to make the situation so awkward. Even more so, she didn t expect … her good intentions like this to be nothing more than a self humiliation. Especially, in front of Meng Zige.
“Doesn’t Ms. Su dislike acid? If you don’t mind, I’ll drink it.” The atmosphere was just too awkward and stressful, so Yan Nan had to come out and round up the evening’s soup.
Su Xi looked at the empty bowl and suddenly only felt the tip of her nose sour.
Strong aggravation welled up in his heart.
“You guys eat, I have other things to do.” Su Xi put down her chopsticks, got up and pushed back her chair to leave.
“Su Xi!” Zi Ge called out to her, and Lan Yu Feng caught her hand in his, “Sit down and eat your meal.”
“You’re making it too obvious.” After talking to Su Xi in the kitchen today, Zige was much more impressed with her.
“If I don’t make it obvious, am I going to wear her out for a few more years? Leave her alone and let her figure it out.” He already owed her a lot, and he didn’t want to continue to do so.
“Uh-huh.” Zige nodded slightly. His words were naturally justified. Turning back, she looked at Su Xi again, and ultimately said nothing more.
