Chapter 32 Chapter 32 Dudu is my child?! ...
The next morning, Wei Ran got up, washed up simply, and walked into the living room in the morning light.
Aunt Wang, who is used to getting up early, had already prepared breakfast and was putting it on the table. Dudu was standing barefoot in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, his two little hands clinging to the window, looking out.
In order to prevent her cubs from accidentally falling when approaching the windows, Wei Ran added safety windows outside each window after renting the house.
Even so, Wei Ran didn't want Dudu to develop the habit of climbing on the window, so she called out to her baby, "Dudu, come back! Didn't Daddy tell you not to lean on the window like that?"
"No wow dad."
Hearing his father's voice, Dudu turned around. The human cub's tiny flesh shone a translucent orange light in the sunlight. Dudu blinked his big eyes and said, "That guy downstairs looks like Father Lin!"
Wei Ran: ...?
Wei Ran looked at the time, it was seven o'clock in the morning.
Lin Luochen came to see Dudu these days, usually arriving around nine in the morning.
Wei Ran walked to the window in slippers.
Downstairs, perhaps it was because he heard the tender and crisp little sounds through the window, or because he really felt it in his heart, but when Wei Ran approached, Lin Luochen, who was standing with his back to the building, suddenly turned around and looked up.
…
At a distance of four stories and ten meters away, Wei Ran and Lin Luochen's eyes met.
The next moment - the next second after they looked at each other, Lin Luochen stretched out his long legs and walked directly to the door of the unit to ring the doorbell.
"Dad Lin!"
I also saw Lin's father's Dudu. Without waiting for Wei Ran to react, he rushed towards the door like a cannonball to open the door for Lin Luochen.
Wei Ran: “…”
Wei Ran pressed his cheeks. He was worried that his skin would become loose if he rubbed it frequently, so he tried to change the habit of rubbing his face to tapping it with his fingers in the past two days.
Outside, there was a faint sound of footsteps hitting the stairs, from the bottom to the top.
Wei Ran's house was reasonably soundproof, but the dining room was separated from the apartment building's stairwell by a wall. If someone were climbing the stairs there, the vibrations could still be heard slightly.
The footsteps were getting closer and faster, and then stopped abruptly when they were about to reach their house.
A moment later, there was a knock on the door.
Wei Ran shook her head slightly——
This person doesn't even know how to take the elevator.
Wei Ran pulled out a chair and simply sat down.
The door opened, and Dudu greeted Father Lin warmly, "Good morning." Lin Luochen, feeling the chill of the early morning, did not dare to hug Dudu. He just stretched out his long finger and touched Dudu's face.
"...Good morning, Dudu." For some reason, Lin Luochen's voice was hoarse.
Wei Ran poured a glass of water on the table.
After changing his shoes and entering the house, Lin Luochen squatted down and touched Dudu's little hand, then looked up at Wei Ran in the living room.
He stood up slowly.
"Wei Ran..." The voice was still hoarse, like an old bellows.
Wei Ran stood up with a cup of water in her hand and said, "Come in and talk."
It seemed that Lin Luochen did not expect Wei Ran to be so direct today. He stood there in a daze for a moment before following the other person's back and walking towards the room.
Before closing the door, Wei Ran touched Dudu's big head and said softly, "Baby, go play by yourself for a while. Daddy has something to say to uncle."
When he heard the word "uncle", Lin Luochen's eyes moved, but he didn't say anything, just looked at Wei Ran.
Dudu had no objection, of course. He no longer worried that Daddy Lin would get angry with him when they talked. Dudu had been educating Daddy Lin very well during this period.
The baby nodded obediently: "Okay."
Grandma Wang had just put all the breakfast on the table, so she waved for Dudu to come over and eat. "Dudu, come quickly. Hey, where has Ah Ran been? I saw him get up and brought it here. This lunch bun must be eaten hot..."
Wang Shuqin muttered as she carried Dudu to the dining table.
Wei Ran closed the door of his bedroom with a smile. When he turned around, he found Lin Luochen standing almost in the center of the room, looking at him awkwardly.
This time she stood quite far away from him and did not suddenly approach him. Wei Ran raised her eyebrows and handed the cup of water in her hand to the other party.
He waited for Lin Luochen to finish drinking the water.
"When did you come?"
Lin Luochen: "Last night..."
"last night??"
Lin Luochen: "Ah no, it was early this morning."
“…………”
Lin Luochen rubbed his face violently.
It turns out that people who sleep less need this method to stay awake and maintain their energy, especially since he has been thinking about everything he can remember over and over again all night...
"Wei Ran, you, you said on Weibo..."
It was Lin Luochen who couldn't hold back and brought up the matter first: "Dudu, it's you..."
"Yeah, that's it." This time Wei Ran didn't avoid it and admitted it openly.
His face was exceedingly handsome and clean. When he looked at someone from the front, his eyes were dark and piercing. His nose was straight, with a small, upturned tip. His lips, having rested well over the past two days, were much more rosy than they had been a while ago.
Being stared at by such a person, even Lin Luochen, who had seen a lot of extravagant life, was still a little panicked.
What's more, he feels very guilty now.
Lin Luochen glanced away slightly. The man who used to be cold and ruthless now hesitated to even ask a question.
But he still asked: "So Dudu is mine..."
According to the time of Dudu's birth, no matter how slow or unconfident Lin Luochen was, he would no longer think that Wei Ran was cheating on him when he learned that Dudu was Wei Ran's own child.
What's more, he had been thinking about it for a whole night, and he wanted to calculate and push forward day by day to make sure there was no mistake.
"Um."
Wei Ran still admitted it openly: "Yes, it's yours."
Lin Luochen:!!!
Even though he knew he couldn't be wrong, compared to Wei Ran's personal admission, the speculation all night didn't seem to make him as excited, ecstatic, and... complicated as it was at this moment.
"Then, then, when you gave birth to Dudu, did you have anyone to take care of you?"
Lin Luochen was in such a complicated mood that he didn't know what to ask first, and finally asked this.
Because all he could think about was the time when Wei Ran terminated her contract with the agency, was exposed online, and could never hold her head up again... He couldn't imagine how Wei Ran got through that time.
"Wei Ran..." Thinking of this, Lin Luochen took a big step forward and wanted to hug Wei Ran.
Wei Ran raised her hand to stop him. After a moment of hesitation.
Wei Ran didn't expect that Lin Luochen would ask first...such an insignificant question.
At least for the whole incident, this detail is the least important.
But when asked "Is there anyone to take care of her?", countless grievances came to her mind at that moment. Wei Ran's eyes became sore and she felt like crying.
But Wei Ran was never one to get emotional, and he eventually suppressed the sour feeling in his heart. He raised his hand to stop Lin Luochen from approaching, and said as he had already thought of yesterday: "Although Dudu is yours, Dudu can only be with me."
"Of course."
Lin Luochen agreed subconsciously, then reacted: "...What do you mean, you won't follow me?"
“…With you?”
Wei Ran shook her head: "My life is good now, and Dudu's life is also good... I'm sorry, I don't want to change anything."
“…”
Lin Luochen looked at the thin young man standing upright in front of him and moved his throat slightly: "...Of course, I won't change your current life..."
"Well, that's good." Wei Ran said as he turned his head away. It looked like he was about to open the door and go out.
"etc!"
Lin Luochen rushed forward and held Wei Ran down.
Because he was too anxious, he pressed directly on Wei Ran's hand.
Even though Wei Ran's hands still had calluses from filming action scenes, her ten fingers were long and well-proportioned. Once Lin Luochen touched them, he couldn't move his hands away.
He simply grabbed the hand.
"Wei Ran..."
Wei Ran's reaction at this time was much calmer than when they first met again.
But the calmer Wei Ran was, the more uncertain Lin Luochen felt.
"Wei Ran, you have nothing to say to me?"
"What else do you need to ask?"
"You, why didn't you tell me at that time..."
Wei Ran was silent for a moment and said, "When I found out about Dudu, we had been separated for almost four months. By then, I couldn't contact you anymore."
Lin Luochen: “…………”
According to the time calculation, Lin Luochen should have been in a car accident at that time, became a vegetable, and was placed in Melbourne by his family.
But for Lin Luochen, this is not a reason for him to be forgiven.
——Two months before that, Lin Luochen’s mother, Wei Ran’s teacher, died of illness.
They met at the funeral.
That's why Lin Luochen feels so guilty at this moment.
At that time, he had just been dumped by Wei Ran a month ago, and his mother had passed away, so he was extremely depressed. ...When they met Wei Ran, they didn't speak.
It’s not that I don’t remember.
It was a true case of "not recognizing each other".
Even though - when Lin Luochen thinks back now, he still remembers that Wei Ran looked extremely pale and was on the verge of collapse that day.
But isn’t that what everyone who attends a funeral does?
What's more, his mother is Wei Ran's most respected mentor.
…
…
Now that I think about it, it was probably because of Wei Ran's physical condition at that time...
"Wei Ran, I admit that I deliberately avoided you at first, but if I hadn't had a car accident later..."
"It's okay." Wei Ran interrupted him.
Wei Ran, who was known for his quiet nature, rarely interrupted others, but now he was overly sober. He interrupted Lin Luochen and said, "Even if I could contact you, I wouldn't look for you."
When talking about the past, there was no trace of grievance or complaint in Wei Ran's tone.
"Because my original decision will not change. Dudu was just an accident." He said rather coldly.
Lin Luochen: “…”
The matter then came back to why Wei Ran broke up with him in the first place.
At that time, Wei Ran said that he wanted to be a star, and stars couldn't fall in love.
"So what you're saying is, you dumped me because you couldn't have a relationship, but you kept Dudu, and even temporarily retired from the entertainment industry to have a baby and traveled abroad alone?!..."
Wei Ran: “…”
With his back to Lin Luochen, Wei Ran's long eyelashes trembled violently. He tried his best to calm himself and said, "But at that time, I couldn't refuse it even if I wanted to."
“…”
After taking a few quick breaths, Wei Ran pulled her hand out from under the other person's palm and continued calmly, "That's just me, Lin Luochen. I dumped you to get ahead, and I had no choice but to give birth to Dudu. My ambition has never changed... but maybe I'm not destined to be a superstar."
Weakness and stubbornness were intertwined on Wei Ran's pale face.
She is obviously thin with a prominent jawline, and her slim figure seems unable to withstand the slightest wind and waves.
But he just stood there the whole time, and after taking a deep breath and adjusting his breathing, he maintained an upright and unyielding posture.
He said, "Don't think too highly of me, Lin Luochen. I'm just a tacky, ordinary person with no real ability to succeed."
“…”
"I like Dudu because he is cute and worth it."
Wei Ran said, rarely speaking much, "I'm willing to do anything for my baby, but that doesn't mean I was or am a good person, nor does it mean you are special."
The voice has a lazy and drawn-out ending, and as an actor who has practiced his lines carefully, his pronunciation is clear.
Wei Ran said this and fluttered his eyelashes again. This time he took a big step to the side to get away from the other person. He asked, "Do you understand?"
Feeling the astonishment and gaze of the person behind him, although the last words were directed to the other party, Wei Ran knew that the conversation was over.
Five years ago, when he broke up with Lin Luochen, the simple reason he used was "I want to be a star and can't have a relationship."
Five years later, I have to spend so much effort analyzing myself in this way.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to deal with.
But it doesn’t matter, Wei Ran doesn’t care either.
Because all he really wants is to live peacefully every day from now on.
Wei Ran stepped back, but Lin Luochen stood there without moving.
He blocked the door, and Wei Ran couldn't get out, so she could only look up at him.
When he proposed breaking up five years ago, Lin Luochen was puzzled and surprised, and then angry.
But now, the other party just stood there quietly.
Then it was Wei Ran's turn to have a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Lin Luochen suddenly asked him: "Do you think that if you are that kind of person, I will stop loving you?"
“…”
"It's useless, Wei Ran."
Before he could answer, Lin Luochen spoke in a firm tone: "I will only love you."
