After Du Ruo finished washing up and opened the door, she saw a figure standing in the mist.
The man was still wearing a black French shirt and matching trousers, with a cigarette dangling from the corner of his mouth, the flame flickering in the mist.
As he raised his hand, the luxurious and exquisite diamond watch on his wrist and the ruby cufflinks on his cuffs shone brightly. He was staring at the horizon in a daze, and his back strangely carried a hint of decadence and unruliness.
Hearing the door open, Yuan Tingchuan casually threw the cigarette into the trash can by the wall, turned around and signaled with his eyes, "Can I come in?"
Du Ruo now understood that she had taken the boss's child away and forgot about the phone call, which made the boss come to her house to kill her.
Since the boss was worried about his cub, it was understandable for him to go in and take a look. Du Ruo opened the door and made a gesture of invitation.
Yuan Tingchuan walked into the house without any hesitation. The house was not big, but it was very clean and tidy, and it did not look like a house with children.
Only the various toys displayed on the toy rack against the wall showed that there were children in the house.
The three people on the big bed were obviously sleeping sideways last night. The two little guys were sleeping soundly, one on each side, hugging the corner of the quilt in the middle.
Yuan Tingchuan's gaze involuntarily fell on his son's face. Yuan Shurui looked very relaxed, and even smiled while sleeping. This was an expression Yuan Tingchuan had never seen before.
On countless nights, when he returned home, his son was already fast asleep. Most of the time, his brows were furrowed, he curled up into a ball, and his face showed a look of anxiety.
Yuan Tingchuan tried to change all this, but was always powerless. No matter what he did, his son kept his head down and refused to communicate with him.
He invited several well-known psychiatrists, but there was no improvement.
Yuan Tingchuan felt somewhat powerless about all this. He also knew that the only way to change the current situation was to accompany her for a long time, but what he lacked at that time was time.
He didn't even have the extra energy to think about Shu Rui. The various complicated affairs and social interactions in the group every day had already left his brain with no free time at all. His private time had always been squeezed out.
Now, looking at his son's relaxed and happy expression, a gleam of light flashed in Yuan Tingchuan's eyes.
He looked back at Du Ruo. He knew that Du Ruo was always very busy. How did this woman maintain this balance?
While he was thinking, he saw Du Ruo come forward and start calling the two little guys to get up, wash up quickly, so that he could send the father and son away!
It was rare for Yuan Tingchuan to see his son sleeping so peacefully. Just as he was about to say wait a moment, Du Ruo had already woken up the two children without any hesitation.
As soon as he looked up, he met the boss's dissatisfied gaze. Du Ruo sneered in his heart, "I'm taking care of your children for nothing, and you didn't even say thank you, and you're still dissatisfied with me? Did you pay me for being a nanny?"
Seeing Du Ruo's sharp eyes, Yuan Tingchuan touched the tip of his nose in embarrassment. He also knew that he was being a little unreasonable.
Yuan Shurui was woken up from his drowsy sleep and heard Xiaozhe say, "Mom, I want to sleep a little longer, just a little while~"
He also said drowsily, "Mom, I want to sleep too."
Yuan Tingchuan, who was standing beside the bed, froze and turned back to look at Du Ruo. What was going on?
Du Ruo spread his hands and said, "Don't ask me, ask your son."
Du Ruo took out some change from his pocket. No matter what, he was a guest, so he couldn't let him go away hungry, right?
Cooking was out of the question, she only made meals for herself and her son.
Du Ruo planned to buy some breakfast at the door. He didn't know what the boss was eating, so he decided to buy some anyway.
When Yuan Tingchuan saw her taking the change and about to go out, he turned around and wanted to go with her. Du Ruo looked at him speechlessly, and was defeated by the boss's gaze.
Just follow it, you can save some money.
At the entrance of the alley is a snack street that specializes in selling breakfast. They only sell breakfast in the morning and will not serve you after that time.
Du Ruo knew that it was not that they didn't do business during the day, but after breakfast, there were not many people around, and these stalls would be moved to the farmers' market.
Yuan Tingchuan's dress was out of tune with these people, attracting everyone's attention along the way.
Neighbor Aunt Wang pulled Du Ruo aside and asked quietly, "Who is this?"
Du Ruo paused for a moment, then said naturally, "My cousin from my aunt's family."
Unexpectedly, Aunt Wang knew quite a bit. She gossiped to Du Ruo in a low voice, "I heard your cousin is a piece of shit. How can he look so decent now? Is he your cousin who gambles?"
Du Ruo...
She really forgot about her cousin Fan Jun's bad reputation. Looking at the boss again, the name didn't match.
Du Ruo said seriously: "You are talking about my second aunt's cousin, this is my eldest aunt's cousin."
Telling one lie requires covering it up with countless lies.
Aunt Wang asked in confusion, "Old Du's family only has one aunt? How come you have two aunts?"
Du Ruo...this is not over yet.
While Yuan Tingchuan was waiting for someone to bring him the tendon cake, he looked at Du Ruo with a smile in his eyes and continued to make up stories.
Du Ruo glanced at him, her eyes clearly showing that there was nothing she could do and she was in a difficult situation.
Du Ruo said nonsense seriously: "This is the aunt I lost a few years ago. I only recognized her as my relative in the past two years."
This is indeed true. Du Ruo's aunt went missing a few years ago, and everyone in the area knew about it.
Aunt Wang slapped her thigh and said, "Oh, it's been lost for so many years, and you can still find it. It's really fate. I think your cousin is not an ordinary person. His family is quite rich, right?"
Du Ruo continued to talk nonsense: "What kind of money does he have? If he had money, how could he come to our poor house? He just likes to pretend."
That made sense. How many people would turn their backs on others once they got rich? If Du Ruo's cousin was truly a wealthy man, why would he have come to their house?
Aunt Wang immediately lost interest. She had originally thought that her granddaughter was still looking for a partner, and this man looked like a rich man. Perhaps it was her granddaughter's marriage destiny. But after hearing what Du Ruo said, she realized that he was just a show-off. Aunt Wang waved her hand and left.
Du Ruo knew the truth and couldn't help laughing, which made Yuan Tingchuan laugh so hard that he was scared. Even though he was very smart, he couldn't figure out what was so funny.
Du Ruo looked at the boss's rare confused look and couldn't help laughing. She had been talking nonsense, but in the end the boss was disliked by the old lady.
Not to mention that the boss was quite down-to-earth. He bought two trays of steamed buns, some tofu pudding, and various meatball snacks. He bought a lot of different things.
Aunt Wang's advertising was very effective. When the two of them went to buy things, the stall owner would ask, "Is your cousin here? Are you planning to stay for a while?"
