I subconsciously took a step back, "Zhou Fang..."
He glanced at me, suppressed his emotions, and said two words, "Get out."
Then, he squatted down and picked up the fragments on the ground with his bare hands.
Carefully.
I felt very sorry and quickly squatted down to help him, "I'm sorry, I..."
Without even raising his head, he replied coldly, "I told you to get out."
"Sister, let's go out..."
Zhou Mo took my hand and left, gently closing the door. Then she explained, "That piggy bank is his most precious thing. He takes it with him wherever he goes and never lets anyone touch it."
"he……"
I felt a little guilty and tried to make amends. "Do you know where I can buy that piggy bank? I'll buy him a new one."
"I can't buy it."
Zhou Mo shook her head helplessly, "It was on my brother's birthday one time. Sister Qingli begged Grandma Shen to invite a potter to come to the house and make a gift for my brother personally. She said that the rabbit was herself, and she wanted to accompany my brother every day."
I was silent for a moment, "No wonder he cherishes it so much..."
"Um."
Zhou Mo lamented, "Actually, I wasn't even born at that time. But my family and my brother loved her so much. If it hadn't been for the accident, they would have gotten married a long time ago."
She lowered her voice and asked mysteriously, "Sister, do you know what conditions the coins in there were kept in?"
I responded, "What's the situation?"
I am a little surprised that some people still have the habit of saving coins these days.
"Once..."
Zhou Mo timidly glanced towards the study, and after confirming that Zhou Fang hadn't come out yet, she leaned closer and said, "I secretly saw him once. His eyes were red, and he was sniffing as he dropped a coin in!"
"I asked him about it later, but he still didn't admit it. But then again, since he was little, he never cried even when he was covered in wounds."
"So I guess he would save a coin whenever he missed Qingli-san very much."
“…”
I unconsciously ran my fingers across my palm. "Do you have a picture of that piggy bank?"
After hearing what Zhou Mo said and thinking about the coins scattered on the ground, I found it hard to imagine how Zhou Fang had managed to survive all these years.
Something so important to him was broken.
I have to find a way to make up for it.
"Yes, I have."
"Can you send it to me?"
"Go check my brother's Moments and see what he's posted before."
I nodded, "Tuo."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Fang came out with a cold expression, as if nothing had happened, but the light in his brown eyes was sparse and broken.
Seeing that I was still there, his eyelashes drooped for a moment, and when he looked back at me, his usual leisurely demeanor returned. "Not yet?"
I pursed my lips and said, "Well... I wanted to say sorry to you in person."
He took out a bottle of carbonated drink from the refrigerator, unscrewed it, tilted his head back and took a sip, his Adam's apple rolling slightly.
Finally, his naturally cold expression was tinged with cynicism. "Do you have to admit your mistakes in front of me?"
“…”
I knew I was in the wrong, so I let him talk. "Yes, I was wrong. Can Master Zhou please forgive me?"
The corners of his mouth curled up in a neutral arc, "It depends on my mood."
"Okay, then you continue to see how you feel. I'll go home first."
"Um."
He gave a faint response.
After saying hello to Zhou Mo, I turned and left.
As soon as I walked out of Zhou Fang's house and closed the door, I saw Lu Shiyan standing at my door.
He heard the noise over here and glanced over. Seeing that I came out of Zhou Fang's house, he was a little surprised.
"Why are you...at Mr. Zhou's house? I thought you weren't here."
"Well, I treated him and his sister to a hot pot."
I smiled, went to open the door, and said casually, "Shen Xingyu went to the company to cause trouble again today, and his sister helped me."
Lu Shiyan raised his eyebrows, "His sister? Which sister?"
"Zhou Mo, do you know her?"
He thought for a moment and said, "I don't think I've ever heard of it."
"By the way, Senior, why are you here so late at night?"
As I leaned over to invite him in and changed my shoes, I couldn't help but ask, "Is it...anything about my background that's been investigated?"
He was stunned for a moment, then chuckled, "How did you guess it so quickly?"
"How about it?"
I can't wait to find out.
Even though my parents have been dead for so many years, it is very important to me to know whether I am their child or not.
He sat down on the sofa and handed me a document. He said helplessly, "Lin Guoan is really talking nonsense. Don't think about it anymore. Otherwise, your uncle and aunt will be sad in heaven."
Hearing this, my heart settled down and I started looking through the information.
My birth certificate, various medical records from childhood, blood type, date of birth...
They all match.
Every time I looked at another item, my heart sank a little deeper into my stomach.
I felt completely at ease.
You are right, I am my parents’ child, and their love for me is never fake.
"Senior, thank you!"
I looked at Lu Shiyan gratefully, "Have you eaten? There are some vegetables in the refrigerator. I'll give them to you..."
"I've already eaten. I had a social event tonight, so I was delayed and came to your place so late."
After he politely declined, he pretended to be displeased and said, "But, have you noticed that you are not keeping your word?"
"ah?"
I didn't react.
He curled his lips, "Didn't you promise me that you wouldn't be so distant with me?"
"Feel sorry……"
I seem to be used to it.
Lu Shiyan looked at me seriously with his amber eyes, "Don't apologize, I'll change slowly. Whether we're friends or something else, I don't want you to be so polite."
"Tuo."
I agreed with a smile, but was startled by the subtle doting in his eyes and quickly avoided his gaze.
However, he stopped when he saw her, "It's getting late, I'll leave first."
I quickly stood up and said, "I'll take you there."
"What was it like when you were with Zhou Fang?"
As he stood up and walked towards the entrance, he suddenly spoke without any context.
I wondered, "With him?"
He glanced at me and said, "I feel like you and he are quite different."
"No?"
I felt baffled, “Just ordinary friends.”
Or maybe we are not even friends.
The Zhou family's Crown Prince has so many friends that I can't even count them with my hands and feet, but I have some self-awareness of this.
After seeing Lu Shiyan off, I collapsed on the bed, opened Zhou Fang's Moments, and easily found the photo of the little rabbit.
This was posted three years ago, but he rarely posts on WeChat Moments, so it quickly became popular.
No copy.
The ugly pink rabbit piggy bank was placed next to his pillow, with sunlight shining through, giving him a sense of peace and tranquility.
Just by looking at the photos, you can see how much he cherishes it.
The more I thought about it, the more guilty I felt.
The next day, I didn't feel like taking his ride anymore, so I sent him a WeChat message and took a taxi directly to the company.
He had no news either.
The days suddenly became unusually calm.
I only focused on designing clothes for Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Zhou, both of which were in the new Chinese style, but I also used different elements according to their personalities and preferences.
The night before Fu Qichuan and Shen Xingyu's marriage, I slept even sounder than I thought.
Even after getting up, I feel the same as usual when going to work.
She was dressed casually in a white turtleneck sweater, light blue jeans, and a pair of flat boots. She went downstairs with her bag and got into Jiang Lai's car.
It wasn't until the car slowly stopped in front of the hotel that I realized what was happening.
I came to attend my ex-husband's engagement party.
Attending the engagement party of the man I had loved for many years by chance.
No matter how carefree I tried to be, I still felt a little disappointed when I saw the two names "Fu Qichuan & Shen Xingyu" listed side by side at the entrance of the banquet hall.
Jiang Lai glanced at the dreamy, fairy-tale-like setting in the banquet hall and said sarcastically, "He's still rich. His second marriage is even more grand and high-profile than his first."
