Chapter 187: Unable to Produce the Emotion Called "Attachment"
Half an hour later, they arrived at Golden Bay.
The setting sun has sunk below the sea level, and the sky is a deep blue-purple.
There were a few bonfires and lights dotted on the beach, and the sound of waves crashing on the shore in the distance was like a never-ending lullaby.
"Ming Jing and Qin Yaojing have arrived." Liu Zhi parked the car and pointed to a pair of figures on the beach not far away.
Meng Anran took off her helmet and let the sea breeze comb her long hair.
She saw Qin Mu squatting on the beach building a sand castle, while Ming Jing was standing beside him holding up his mobile phone and taking pictures.
This picture was so simple and beautiful, as if she was back in junior high school in an instant, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled up.
Qin Mu looked up and saw her. He immediately stood up and ran over to give her a tight hug. "Baby, are you feeling down? What happened?"
Meng Anran shook her head, not wanting to bring up those bad things on such a beautiful night.
But Liu Zhi quickly answered for her: "Her brother's precious dog was lost, and she actually suspected An Ran of doing it! She even made a scene at home and smashed An Ran's fruit bowl."
"What?" Ming Jing frowned and walked over. "You actually have a dog at home?"
Everyone’s first reaction was not that Meng Chenghong actually suspected Meng Anran after losing the dog, but that Meng Chenghong actually kept a dog at home!
All the friends around him knew that creatures like "dogs" were absolutely not allowed to appear in front of Meng Anran.
Meng Chenghong has a dog at home?
Meng Anran actually allowed Meng Chenghong to keep a dog at home?
What a great concession and tolerance this is!
"My dad gave it to him. My brother told me that he has wanted to have a pet dog since he was a child. Now that he has one, he treasures it very much." Meng Anran's voice was a little cold, mixed with the sea breeze, and inexplicably seemed a bit desolate.
How precious, so precious... He got so angry with his sister whom he had been with for five years just for the dog he had raised for a few days.
"Who cares? It's just right that he's lost!" Liu Zhi rolled her eyes in anger and said bitterly, "I can't let anyone be wronged, but I can let the young lady be wronged!"
Meng Anran curled her red lips, "How can I have a say? That villa is not in my name now!"
"Then just move out. It's not like you can't live without them." Ming Jing said as a matter of course.
The Lu family had given Meng Anran so many resources in the past, but she still left resolutely. What’s more, the Meng family can’t give her anything now.
We used to have some family affection, but now even this little bit of affection is unreliable. It would be better to start my own business!
Qin Mu remained silent, just quietly looking at An Xiaoran's expression and observing her emotional changes.
But after hearing Ming Jing's suggestion, she didn't seem disappointed at all. Instead, she smiled and said, "I do have this idea. I'll go back to Lihua Garden and live there first. After that... we'll see how things go."
She had no shortage of places to live. Lihuayuan had everything she needed, and it was even more convenient than her own home. The house at Riverside No. 9 was almost finished, making it convenient for commuting, and she had been planning to move out for a while.
Qin Mu lowered his eyes and fell into silence. He gently pulled An Xiaoran's hand and then slowly tightened it in his palm.
His An Xiaoran still seemed unable to develop the emotion called "attachment". She could always easily give up everyone's feelings, and once she encountered some unexpected situation, she could quickly and completely withdraw.
Just like when he and Song Wanqiu had an engagement misunderstanding, she was so straightforward as if she didn't have any regrets at all.
Just like now, the Meng family disappointed her a little, so she gave up on her relatives with whom she had lived for five years as if she had never invested true feelings in them.
If we talk about cruelty, she is probably much crueler than Lu Qingcheng.
But...An Xiaoran like this makes Qin Mu feel distressed.
Qin Mu's fingers gently stroked Meng Anran's palm, and the sea breeze blew her hair onto his shoulders. He suddenly said, "The roses in my backyard should be blooming soon."
Meng Anran was stunned. It was last winter when she casually mentioned that she wanted to plant roses, and he really planted the Qin family's backyard full of roses.
Liu Zhi suddenly clapped her hands: "Yes, yes, yes! We can have a barbecue party this weekend! Invite Xiao Han! Qin Yan should be back soon! I'll invite a few more people!"
Ming Jing glanced helplessly at Qin Mu, who was signaling him to control his girlfriend. He coughed lightly and said, "Zhizhi, isn't it inappropriate to go to the Qin family party?"
"What's inappropriate about that? Uncle Qin and Aunt Qin are traveling around the world anyway." Liu Zhi didn't even raise her head. Ming Jing tugged at her violently. She glared at him angrily, "What for?!"
After receiving the other person's meaningful look, she finally smiled awkwardly, "Oh, the roses are blooming beautifully! Roses... I don't like roses very much. I... I'm allergic to pollen. Let's get together at my villa!"
Tsk, what a pig brain I have! Fairy Qin planted roses for baby An Ran, how could I bring a bunch of people to join in the fun!
Amid the sound of the waves, Meng Anran suddenly laughed out loud. She held Qin Mu's hand and said, "When can I go see my rose?"
The haze in Qin Mu's eyes dissipated instantly. He lowered his head and said something in her ear, which made Meng Anran's ears turn red. She raised her foot to step on him.
Qin Mu dodged nimbly and, relying on his long arms and legs, tickled An Xiaoran's waist, causing the girl to shrink back.
He took a big step closer and the girl snuggled into his arms.
Seeing that the two of them were in such a good mood, Liu Zhi didn't bother them. She turned her head and gave Ming Jing a meaningful look.
Ming Jing tilted his head in confusion, and after understanding the meaning in her eyes, he curled his lips into a smile, took her hand and rushed towards the sea.
The two of them kicked the waves and had fun.
…
The atmosphere in Meng's villa was not pleasant.
After Meng Anran left, Meng Chenghong was still worried about his Xiaoxue. Su Wanman checked the surveillance camera at the door and found that she did not close the door tightly when she went out to buy fruit, and Xiaoxue ran out by herself.
After watching the surveillance video, Meng Chenghong's pupils trembled violently.
So... he misunderstood his second sister.
"I told you long ago that your second sister would never send your dog away without saying a word, and you yelled at her and threw bowls at her. How heartbreaking! Don't forget that it was she who introduced Mr. Wu to you. If it weren't for her, would you have achieved what you have today?" Su Wanman was furious. How could a mother not be anxious when her two children were making such a fuss?
Unexpectedly, Meng Chenghong suddenly raised her voice: "Stop talking! Did I ask her to help me? I practice calligraphy every day, and my master also said I have talent. How come I won the award through my own efforts, but it all became her credit!"
Su Wanman was stunned and stared at her youngest son, her eyes full of disbelief.
Meng Chenghong used to be well-behaved and sensible, always liked to follow An Ran, and always praised An Ran. Why is he so hostile to An Ran now?
Is someone trying to sow discord between them, or is it really... being busy with each other for a long time has caused their relationship to grow distant?
