The school beauty's four boyfriends 21
Watching the car drive away, Wang Ruoyun turned to Qi An'an, her expression shifting as she recalled the scene. "An'an, didn't you two break up?"
Qi An'an replied calmly, "We were together again just now."
"..." Wang Ruoyun didn't understand the childish feelings these kids had, and her lips twitched a few times: "He asked for it himself? And you just agreed like that?"
She doesn't stop her from dating.
She knew she couldn't stop it, but she also knew that if a girl was too easily coaxed, she would lose her value, and men wouldn't know how to cherish her.
Qi An'an shook her head, "It was my initiative, and he didn't refuse, so I took it as a yes."
Wang Ruoyun was speechless and unable to accept it.
The daughter she remembered was a well-behaved and sensible girl... No, An'an clearly dated four people, and yesterday she was even touching that boy in the hospital room...
She probably has some kind of misunderstanding about her daughter.
She thought about it again. Yan Xingcun seemed to be good at bluffing. He had even suffered a loss with An'an before. How could he have fallen for him so quickly again?
"So you like him?"
"Um."
"..."
Wang Ruoyun was speechless.
I felt a little worried.
She didn't know if her daughter was serious, but she felt that Yan Xingcun was serious.
"Don't play with fire and get burned," she couldn't help but remind her daughter.
Qi An'an: "...I didn't play."
Wang Ruoyun didn't take her answer to heart.
Then he began to talk at length about the precautions.
"I decorated your room. It used to be a guest room, but it's still a bit basic. You can stay here for now."
"You live on the second floor, so you can just take the stairs."
"Don't wander around, and definitely don't go to other buildings."
"He's a bit serious, but don't be afraid. Just answer whatever he asks."
"If you're staying here, you need to take care of your own things and try not to bother others if you can avoid it."
...
Wang Ruoyun's humility was evident in every word she spoke. Qi An'an suddenly asked, "Mom, are you happy here?"
After a moment of surprise, Wang Ruoyun looked at her and replied, "Of course."
Perhaps it was because her daughter's eyes were too bright and clear at this moment, Wang Ruoyun's throat tickled slightly, and she added, "You are still young and don't understand anything. Social class is the hardest thing to break through. After entering the Xu family, the world I have seen is completely different from what I saw before. I want to stay here."
She thought Qi An'an didn't understand, but then she saw her nod.
In a moment of impulse, Wang Ruoyun asked the question she had been avoiding all along: "An'an, don't you really blame me at all? Blame me for leaving you behind?"
Qi An'an nodded and then shook her head, "It's strange."
"But there's nothing wrong with pursuing what you want."
Wang Ruoyun thought she had misheard; her young daughter was so open-minded.
She wanted to see her daughter's expression, but she had already reached the entrance hall. She instinctively put on a smile and temporarily suppressed her thoughts.
Qi An'an grasped her arm, looked at the huge diamond ring on her ring finger, and said softly, "Mom, you are the mistress of this house, don't be nervous."
Wang Ruoyun was completely stunned.
Looking at the smile on her daughter's lips, for some reason, the grievances and worries that she had suppressed for more than ten years seemed to surge up all at once, and she couldn't control them. Her eyes, which were originally smiling, turned slightly red.
Qi An'an touched her diamond ring and continued, "Let's go, Mom."
Wang Ruoyun mechanically moved her feet. The mistress, yes, she was already the mistress of this place.
It was still early, so Xu Zhi didn't go out and just sat on the sofa.
Seeing the two enter, he put down his tablet and stood up.
This was the first time Qi An'an had met Xu Zhi. He looked quite young, around thirty-five years old, with a charming demeanor and a domineering CEO vibe.
Standing next to Wang Ruoyun, they are quite a good match.
If she remembered correctly, Wang Ruoyun was actually a few years older than him, and the two met at a party.
Compared to Xu Zhi's previous girlfriends, Wang Ruoyun's only redeeming quality was her "pretty and obedient" nature, and it was precisely this quality that attracted him. That's why, after she became pregnant, he let her move into the Xu family home.
"This must be An'an." Xu Zhi put on a businesslike smile and patted Qi An'an on the shoulder. "Your mother mentioned that it's not safe for you to live alone. You can stay here and feel at ease from now on."
"Okay, thank you for your help, Uncle."
Xu Zhi smiled, but glanced at Wang Ruoyun.
Wang Ruoyun had been by his side for over a decade. She knew what he meant with just a glance, so she gently whispered in Qi An'an's ear, "From now on, you have to call him Dad."
Qi An'an nodded obediently and then said to Xu Zhi, "Dad."
"good."
Xu Zhi looked at her, his smile unchanged, making it impossible to tell whether he was pleased or angry at the way she addressed him.
But Qi An'an felt that he must be disgusted, but he wanted to pretend to be tolerant and magnanimous.
"I'll take her to her room first."
"Um."
Qi An'an kept smiling, looking forward to the life ahead.
——
Qi An'an never expected that she would face such a storm so soon after moving in.
First, the Xu family's nanny gave her the cold shoulder, preventing her from going anywhere and even giving her the cold shoulder at mealtimes.
When Xu Zihan came back from her tutoring class, she puffed out her cheeks as soon as she saw her, acting as if it was either her or her.
Wang Ruoyun could only take Xu Zihan back to her room. It is unknown what they talked about. When he saw her again, he did not make things difficult for Qi An'an.
Xu Zihan's day was packed with classes, including a piano lesson in the evening. Because he made frequent mistakes, the old teacher got angry and left, and even complained to Wang Ruoyun.
Xu Zhi, who happened to be home for dinner, overheard this, and Xu Zihan was bound to get a scolding.
Qi An'an didn't see the scene, but she could hear Xu Zihan crying.
That night, Qi An'an, feeling bored, went to the music room and sat for a while.
A childish voice suddenly rang out, "This is my piano, don't touch it."
Xu Zihan was wearing cartoon pajamas and holding a doll in his arms, a stark contrast to his gentlemanly image during the day. He stood at the door, glaring at her fiercely.
Seeing that she was looking over, he stormed over to her.
"Yours? It has your name on it?"
Qi An'an didn't look at him, her hands gliding across the piano keys.
A melodious piano tune then filled the room.
Xu Zihan frowned, "You're here to take my things, aren't you? Mom is mine, Dad is mine, this house is mine, it doesn't need to be written down, it's all mine."
"I was asking about the piano, why are you bringing up people?" Qi An'an said casually. "I'm also in the Xu family, does that mean I'm yours too?"
These words left Xu Zihan speechless. He said disdainfully, "I don't want you!"
"I've already touched this piano, do you still want it?"
Xu Zihan: "..."
“You’ve never met your maternal grandmother, have you?” Qi An’an suddenly said. “She used to be a piano teacher, but her family became too poor and sold all the pianos.”
Xu Zihan suddenly quieted down and stared intently at her.
The child wasn't very good at hiding his feelings, and his face was full of sourness.
Everyone else has a maternal grandmother, and so does he.
But he had only seen it on his mother's phone.
The older sister in front of me was raised by my maternal grandmother.
After a long pause, he managed to say, "Are you showing off? What's so great about that? I have a piano teacher too."
"Oh." Qi An'an glanced at him. "You got scolded today, didn't you?"
"...I haven't practiced enough and haven't met the teacher's requirements, so it's normal for the teacher to scold me." Xu Zihan had been practicing golf all day and was already exhausted. He had no energy left to practice piano, so making mistakes was normal, and he had been scolded quite a bit.
He couldn't sleep in the middle of the night and was about to practice some more when he saw her occupying his piano.
Standing was too tiring, so Xu Zihan sat down next to Qi An'an, with the shark plush toy between them.
His expression was still sour, but his hostility towards her had clearly lessened considerably.
He couldn't hold back for long before asking, "Can you play the piano? Did your grandmother teach you?"
"Um."
"What can you play?" he asked seriously, looking just like a senior.
Qi An'an scoffed lightly, raised her hand and pressed a few keys, and a light and cheerful piano melody leaped out, which was the very piece that Xu Zihan had just played poorly and was scolded for.
"you--"
Xu Zihan immediately broke down.
He retorted, "Can't you even play a four-handed piano duet?"
Qi An'an wouldn't argue with a child, but the next second she still started playing "Spring Festival Overture".
Xu Zihan's face quickly turned serious as she joined in the playing.
At the doorway, Wang Ruoyun stood there, looking at the two siblings in front of the piano, her eyes inexplicably moist.
This was a scene she never dared to imagine.
I never expected that he would suddenly appear in front of her like this.
She picked up her phone, took a picture of the music room, and then started recording a video, just like she used to record her son, capturing moments between the siblings.
But after returning to her bedroom, she looked through the video, but instead of sharing it immediately as she had done before.
She has many things to consider.
She was afraid that others would laugh at her if they saw her daughter, and she was also afraid that Xu Zhi would be unhappy if he saw her.
Don't think she doesn't know; Xu Zhi clearly doesn't like her bringing An'an home.
That's why she told An'an to keep a low profile.
Zihan had never liked An'an, but he was still young, and she could coax him and he would stop making a fuss. However, to her surprise, after just one night together, he gradually accepted An'an...
I don't know if this counts as a good thing.
In the music room, after Qi An'an finished playing, she said to Xu Zihan, "Didn't you play quite well?"
Xu Zihan snorted proudly, "I'm already amazing."
But undeniably, practicing with the teacher and practicing with her feel different. He is very relaxed now and didn't make a single mistake.
"Again," he asked, head held high. "What else can you play?"
"Anything is fine."
Because of those two words, Xu Zihan brought out almost all the four-hand piano pieces she had learned and played them all.
He often couldn't keep up with the stubborn old man's pace and was always being scolded, but now he and Qi An'an play together very well.
"I'm not playing anymore."
Qi An'an yawned, got up and walked outside.
Xu Zihan called her back, "Qi An'an."
She turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
"...No, it's nothing."
Xu Zihan didn't know what to say for a moment, and stiffly shook her head.
"Go back to sleep."
"oh oh."
Xu Zihan watched her departing figure, her expression somewhat conflicted.
Actually, this older sister is quite gentle, gentler than anyone else in the family.
He treated her so badly, but she didn't seem angry at all; she even played the piano with him all night.
