Chapter 154: The nightmare of missing her, punishing her every day and night
This fear grew bigger and bigger in her heart.
The more she thought about it, the more she imagined that he would suddenly appear in front of her one day and snatch the children from her. She wanted to move her family right away.
After coming out of the bathroom, Shi Runrun still felt uneasy.
Especially, looking at the three little ones playing with toys in the living room.
It’s okay for her younger sister, but Dabao and Erbao, whose faces look exactly like that man, make her more and more worried the more she looks at them.
But no matter how uneasy I feel, I still have to make dinner first to solve the problem of food and clothing for the three little ones.
Shi Runrun tied on an apron, picked up the ingredients placed on the ground, and went into the kitchen.
She turned on the induction cooker, first put the washed ribs into the pot to blanch them, then beat the eggs into egg liquid, sprinkled them with chopped green onions and put them into the steamer to steam.
The three little ones have a special liking for steamed egg custard. They have been eating it since they were young and never get tired of it.
I don't know who I inherited it from...
Shi Runrun remembered that many years ago, when he was at the Xiao family, he also loved to eat light egg custard...
At that time, Sister Li would serve this dish on the table every day.
Because it appeared so frequently, she was deeply impressed.
While she was busy in the kitchen, there was a knock on the door of the living room outside.
Boom boom boom.
"Mommy, there's a knock on the door."
The brothers and sisters in the living room shouted in unison.
Shi Runrun heard the sound, turned off the induction cooker, turned on the faucet to wash his hands, then took the kitchen paper beside him, wiped the rice off his forehead, and went out to open the door.
"Who is it?"
Shi Runrun waited for a while until the knock on the door sounded again, then she opened the door.
The door opened, and the incandescent light in the living room came out, shining on the man.
His clear and deep facial features caught Shi Runrun's eyes, with a charming three-dimensional sense. He was wearing a neat formal suit and a tie neatly tied around his neck, as if he had just come back from work.
"Brother Qiao, why are you here at this time?"
Qiao Yu glanced at her, curled his lips and smiled at her, then walked in sideways.
"Qiao Yu Daddy!"
The three siblings in the living room shouted in unison when they saw Qiao Yu.
Shi Runrun: “…”
After closing the door, he couldn't help but walk over and remind them: "Call me Uncle Qiao Yu! How come I've taught you so many times, but you still can't change your ways?!"
Hearing this, Qiao Yu raised his thin lips even higher, then walked over to his sister, picked her up, kissed her cute white face, and smiled at Shi Runrun, "What does it matter? Sooner or later, I will be their daddy anyway!"
Shi Runrun: “…”
How come the child is so ignorant, and Brother Qiao is also like this...
However, when she saw him say this, and the affectionate look in his eyes, Shi Runrun couldn't help but blush.
But since he was already here, Shi Runrun invited him to have dinner with her.
At the dining table, the three little ones were very satisfied with the dishes she made tonight, especially the steamed egg custard, which they loved very much. Each of them lowered their heads and used a spoon to dig into the small bowls in their little hands.
As for Qiao Yu, he was eating elegantly with chopsticks, and from time to time he would pick up some food for the three little ones.
From an outsider's perspective, he looked so tender that one would really think he was the father of the three little ones.
Shi Runrun looked at it, and her eyes couldn't help but dim.
She couldn't help but think of Qiao Yu's care for the four of them, mother and children, over the years.
She had always known about his feelings for her, but someone like her, with three children to support, was simply not worthy of him.
Not worthy.
So, she couldn't agree to him.
…
Dinner was over and the clock struck nine in the evening.
At this point, the three little babies could no longer resist the sleepiness and went to bed one after another.
Shi Runrun went into the room and tucked in the quilts for the three little ones who slept together, then turned off the lights in the children's room, and then went out with Qiao Yu and sent him downstairs.
At this time, the street lights outside are very bright, especially on this summer night, many moths are circling in the aperture of the street lights.
Shi Runrun walked in front and Qiao Yu walked behind.
He lowered his dark eyes and looked at the little woman walking quietly in front of him. Looking at the professional shirt and hip-hugging skirt she had not had time to change, his eyes darkened and his throat moved slightly.
In his heart, she is a very good woman, good in every aspect.
The two walked to his car parked on the side of the road. Shi Runrun turned around and smiled at him, "Brother Qiao, drive slowly on the road."
But the next second, Qiao Yu did not drive in, but suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist.
Shi Runrun paused, raised her eyes, and met his deep black eyes full of tenderness.
"Brother Qiao?"
The next moment, he looked at her and said softly, "Runrun, are you really not going to consider finding a father for these three siblings in the future?"
Shi Runrun: “…”
The little heart in my body started beating violently at this moment.
However, before she could answer, he continued softly, "I've been waiting, waiting for you to give me a name, Runrun. It's hard to raise a child alone. Let me help you, okay?"
At this moment, after hearing these words, Shi Runrun's heart completely softened.
She looked away helplessly, unable to bear to look at him again, and lacking the courage to look at him again.
It's not that she doesn't want to, but that she can't.
And anyone who is with her will not have a good ending.
Four years ago, that man was with her, and ended up breaking up his family.
What's more, four years later, she had two sons and a daughter.
Shi Runrun gently pulled back his hand, clenched his hands, placed them behind his back, lowered his head and said softly: "Brother Qiao, I'm sorry... I can't promise you."
Qiao Yu: “…”
His eyes darkened and he couldn't help but look at his hand frozen in the air and smiled bitterly.
The next second, Shi Runrun continued softly, "Brother Qiao, there are many good girls in this world. You will always find someone who is worthy of you and can take care of you for the rest of your life."
But that person will definitely not be me...
She added softly in her heart.
Why?!
Besides the feeling that being with him would be a burden to him, there was a deeper reason...
And… and…
And in her heart, she could never forget, could never forget that man...
For the past four years, the nightmare of missing her has punished her every day and every night, whether she has her eyes open or closed.
Although she tried very hard to fight against this longing and not let herself be swallowed up...
But…but…
Shi Runrun knew that deep down in her heart, she could never forget him...
Xiao Xuezheng...
The name engraved in her heart made her miss it and feel heartbroken.
Qiao Yu looked at her, smiling bitterly. His eyes lit up, and something moist slowly flowed out from them...
After a while, he took a deep breath, wiped his eyes and smiled, "I understand, Runrun, but don't refuse me. Refuse me to stay by your side and take care of you and your child."
