Chapter 9 Yuan Ergeng
"Are you planning to skip dinner tonight and just eat this?"
Gao Yinxi unscrewed the jar of beef jerky in her hand and looked at the food scattered on the ground in front of her. She found that there were snacks as well as cooked food that had been packed from outside.
"This is way too much."
Yuan Er tugged at his pants, sat down on the sofa, and then reached out to put his arm around Gao Yinxi's waist, letting her sit on his lap. "Is it good?"
Gao Yinxi let him hold her, took out a piece of beef jerky from the jar, put it in her mouth and chewed it. "It's delicious. Do you have any spicy ones? I want some spicy ones."
"No." Yuan Ergeng stretched his head to bite the jerky in Gao Yinxi's hand. "If you want something spicy, I'll go buy some in a couple of days."
Gao Yinxi smiled and pinched the beef jerky, letting Yuan Er lower his head to bite it, her gaze falling on the soft flesh behind his neck. "Go to bed early tonight, and come running with me tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow won't work."
Yuan Ergeng is busy with an important project. If this project is done well, it will become another landmark commercial complex in Xianghai City.
Gao Yinxi knew that he valued this project highly, and that he was under a lot of pressure, both physically and mentally, and had many social obligations.
Staying up late, drinking alcohol, experiencing high stress, and neglecting exercise—how could you not gain weight?
She watched as her boyfriend, who had been a handsome young man, grew up to be a somewhat kind-looking young entrepreneur as the project progressed.
Looking at the skin on the back of her boyfriend's neck, she thought he seemed to have gained weight again. "Then let's do it the day after tomorrow."
"The day after tomorrow won't work either."
"What's wrong? Can't you get up? I'll wake you." Gao Yinxi reached out and pinched Yuan Ergeng's face to help him lift his head. Her gaze fell on his round face, and she threatened sweetly, "If you keep getting this fat, I won't want you anymore."
Yuan Ergeng was born with good looks, and even though he's gained some weight, he doesn't look bad.
Sometimes she even looks kind of cute, especially when she smiles, after all, she has fair skin.
At least for now, his looks haven't declined to the point where Gao Yinxi can't stand them.
“It’s not that I can’t get up.” Yuan Er chewed the beef jerky faster. “Langlang wants to go to the New World Amusement Park tomorrow and the day after. I’m going to Jin Yu Hua Fu later.”
No wonder I only bought the original flavor of beef jerky and not the spicy one, and I also bought so many other snacks.
Gao Yinxi put the beef jerky she was holding on the coffee table next to her. Her good mood from seeing Yuan Ergeng as soon as she got home had completely vanished. "You mean, you're going to stay there for the next few days?"
Although Gao Yinxi's expression didn't change, Yuan Ergeng still sensed her displeasure.
She nuzzled against her in a coquettish manner, saying sweetly, "Langlang said he hasn't seen me in a long time and misses me, so I can't not keep him company, can I?"
"Oh, go ahead." Gao Yinxi felt a pang of sadness, but still smiled and patted Yuan Ergeng's head, then said, "Let go of me, I need to go to the bathroom."
"Okay, wife." Yuan Er gave Gao Yinxi a deep kiss on the lips before letting go.
Second floor restroom.
Lang lang, it's lang lang again.
After closing the door, Gao Yinxi walked to the sink and turned on the faucet.
She cupped her hands in icy water and poured it fiercely over her face, repeating this several times, before she felt the anger in her heart subside a little.
She looked up and stared blankly at her wet face in the mirror.
It's not a good idea to constantly compete with a child for attention and time...
But how can she break this situation?
Langlang's full name is Yuan Lang. He is eight years old this year and is the biological son of Yuan Ergeng.
Yuan Er had an eight-year-old son, not because he was old, but because he married and had children early.
He is actually two years younger than Gao Yinxi, and is thirty-one years old this year.
Gao Yinxi really likes Yuan Ergeng.
If she didn't like him, even though she's getting older now, she wouldn't choose to date a man who has been married before and has a son.
In terms of appearance, age, wealth, ability, and education, the two of them are a perfect match.
More importantly, the two of them have a lot to talk about and can get along very well.
The only mismatch is that Yuan Er had been married before and had a son with his ex-wife.
This is also why Gao Yinxi and Yuan Ergeng have been dating for several years but still haven't gotten married.
You know your own heart and nature.
Gao Yinxi doesn't consider herself a magnanimous woman. No matter how much she likes Yuan Ergeng, she can't extend that affection to his son and love him the same way she loves him.
In particular, his son, for some reason, would often appear and take Gao Yinxi away whenever he needed Yuan Ergeng's company.
Gao Yinxi knew that it was petty and selfish of her to be so concerned about such things with a child.
But there was nothing she could do; she simply couldn't control the jealousy and resentment that welled up inside her when faced with these situations.
She also knew that Yuan Ergeng felt guilty towards Yuan Lang.
Because of guilt, one inevitably wants to make amends, and in the process of making amends, one's heart becomes skewed.
Because she understood this point, whenever she was troubled by it, she couldn't directly tell Yuan Ergeng, "You don't need to stay with your son, you need to stay with me."
This is unethical.
What right or qualification does she have to deprive a child of the opportunity to pursue a father's love?
Understanding the principle is one thing, feeling uncomfortable about it is another.
bother!
My best friend is upset because she was cheated on!
My boyfriend, who finally has some free time, has to spend it with our son, which is even more annoying!
Gao Yinxi splashed several handfuls of cold water on her face before leaving the bathroom.
Downstairs, Yuan Ergeng nestled on the sofa, holding his phone and smiling at her, "Wife, I bought you some spicy beef jerky. It'll be delivered by courier later, remember to open the door."
Gao Yinxi took a deep breath, nodded, and sat down on the sofa again.
She watched quietly as he put down his phone and continued sorting the snacks. After a moment's thought, she asked, "Is Langlang's mom going to the amusement park with you tomorrow and the day after?"
Yuan Lang also always encouraged his parents to travel with him.
The thought of those parent-child moments with two adults and one child makes Gao Yinxi furious.
After much hesitation, Yuan Ergeng decided to tell the truth: "Langlang said that it has been a long time since his parents played with him."
Gao Yinxi lowered her eyes and said calmly, "So, the three of you are going on another trip together."
Yuan Ergeng instantly slid down to his knees next to Gao Yinxi, "Wife, please don't say that, okay?"
He cupped Gao Yinxi's face in his hands, his voice gentle as he defended himself, "How can I face you like this?"
Gao Yinxi turned her head away, not wanting to look at him. "Aren't we going to Jin Yuhua Mansion? Let's go!"
Yuan Er hugged her even more affectionately, saying, "It's still early, wife, let me hug you again."
Gao Yinxi pushed him away, feeling both helpless and annoyed. "Let's go, I'm tired, I want to go to sleep for a while."
"Are you tired?" Yuan Ergeng asked with concern. "Is there anything that's bothering you? Should we go to the hospital to get it checked out?"
