Chapter 64 The warm scene stung Li Zhinan's eyes
"That's a coincidence, thank you." Cheng Qian said gratefully and sat in his back seat.
As soon as Ji Yichen's car drove away, a black Porsche turned on its headlights.
The lights tore through the darkness, and in the shadows, a pair of handsome eyes could hardly hide a hint of loss.
Chu Huaijing turned the car around and drove to the other side.
On the way back!
Ji Yichen saw that Cheng Qian looked listless, with a hint of fatigue on her fair face.
"Have you and Zhinan decided to keep this marriage a secret?" Ji Yichen asked in a low voice.
Cheng Qian said bitterly: "Well, we are all adults, and everyone wants to be respectable."
"He and Cheng Yan..." Ji Yichen hesitated, "Cheng Yan really shouldn't have done such an excessive thing. She's a lady from a wealthy family, and it's not honorable for her to steal her cousin's husband."
"When it comes to love, there's no first come first served." Cheng Qian lowered her eyes and laughed at herself: "I don't care anymore."
Ji Yichen glanced at her sideways and could see that she was lost and sad, but helpless.
"You like him, right?" Ji Yichen asked.
"I don't like it anymore." Cheng Qian answered firmly: "Liking is temporary. When you find it's not worth it, it's wise to cut your losses in time."
"If feelings could really be stopped in time, he wouldn't be praised by poets with all kinds of gorgeous words." Ji Yichen laughed.
Cheng Qian's pretty face turned pale, and she felt embarrassed that she had deceived herself and yet was seen through.
"You can't stop the loss in time, but you can slowly forget about it. Don't push yourself too hard, but be more careful when making a choice next time." Ji Yichen persuaded her gently.
It was as if someone had gently pricked a nerve in Cheng Qian's body. An inexplicable emotion surged up and her eyes became sore.
"Thank you, Brother Yichen, you make sense. I might be dwelling on a trivial matter." Cheng Qian felt relieved. Yes, when you say you don't care, you often can't let it go in your heart.
Only when you stop arguing can you truly let go.
Arriving outside the villa, Ji Yichen did not drive into the courtyard. He turned around and said to Cheng Qian, "Just get off here. Be careful."
"Okay, thank you for taking me home." Cheng Qian was very grateful. The villa area where Ji Yichen lived was on the other side, which meant that he had gone around in a big circle to take her back.
"Why are you being so polite to me?" Ji Yichen said with a smile.
Cheng Qian watched his car drive away, then opened the courtyard door, walked around the garden and returned to the living room.
At this moment, the lights in the living room were dimmed. Ye Zhu went downstairs and saw Cheng Qian coming back.
"Auntie, is Xiaoye asleep?" Cheng Qian asked softly.
"She went to bed at 9:30." Ye Zhu felt sorry for her niece who came home so late from work. "Are you hungry? Auntie left some food for you."
"No need, I've eaten. You should go to bed early." Cheng Qian said softly.
Ye Zhu hesitated to speak. She really wanted to find time to talk to Cheng Qian about what Jiang Meng had said to her.
But it was too late now. She looked so tired. How could she bear to hurt her heart when she was so tired?
After taking a shower, Cheng Qian lay down on the bed. Looking at her son sleeping soundly, all the tiredness of the day disappeared.
She approached Xiao Ye, and the little guy seemed to sense the warmth around him. He turned sideways, grabbed Cheng Qian's clothes with his two little hands, and snuggled into his mother's warm embrace with his small body.
Cheng Qian felt warm in her heart and fell asleep holding her son.
Li Zhinan didn't come back all night!
Xiaoye’s third birthday is coming soon, and Cheng Qian has always remembered it. She asked Xiaoye what gift he wanted.
The little guy tilted his head and thought for a long time, then stretched out a little finger and asked Cheng Qian: "Can you reward me with an ice cream?"
Cheng Qian chuckled. She didn't expect that her son was such a foodie.
"Don't you want any other toys besides this?" Cheng Qian asked with a smile.
"I want my mother to take me to the amusement park." How could Ono not have that?
Although he is young, he also likes to play, and she wants her mother to play with him.
Cheng Qian nodded: "Okay, this Saturday, Mom will take you to the amusement park."
Friday is Xiaoye’s birthday. Jiang Meng called Cheng Qian early and said that they would go out for dinner as a family on his birthday.
Cheng Qian agreed, and at around 3:00 p.m. on Friday, she told Qiao Silin that she wanted to leave early.
After Qiao Silin asked further, she found out that her son was going to celebrate his third birthday.
Qiao Silin's eyes shifted subtly, and he put his hands on his white coat and said leisurely, "Xiao Ye and I are acquainted. It's his birthday, and I want to prepare a gift for him."
Cheng Qian laughed: "He is only three years old."
"What's wrong with being three years old? He even knows how to call me handsome at the age of three." Qiao Silin said seriously, "No, I love this child so much. I'm definitely going to give him this gift."
Cheng Qian couldn't stop him from giving her a gift, so she whispered, "Just a small toy will do."
Qiao Silin suddenly asked, "He is three years old. This year is the Year of the Tiger, little tiger."
Cheng Qian was instantly amused.
Qiao Silin thought of something and snapped his fingers: "I know what to send, but it's a bit too hasty to prepare it now. I'll send it tomorrow."
Cheng Qian thought he just wanted to buy a tiger toy for his son, so she nodded and said, "Thank you."
Cheng Qian was going to pick up her child from school, so she hurried out of the laboratory building.
Chu Huaijing suddenly appeared behind her and called out to her, "Cheng Qian, why are you going home so early today?"
Cheng Qian casually said, "Xiao Ye has his birthday today, and I promised to pick him up from school."
Chu Huaijing said, "Oh, the little guy is already three years old. Then say happy birthday to him for me."
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Chu. I'll go first." Cheng Qian hurried to drive.
Cheng Qian had just arrived at the corridor on the third floor of the school when she saw a tall figure walking towards them holding a child.
It was Li Zhinan, he came alone.
"Mom is here to pick me up!" Ono smiled happily.
Li Zhinan put him down, and the little guy ran to Cheng Qian with his short legs.
Cheng Qian squatted down, and the little guy held her face and kissed her twice.
Cheng Qian took his little hand, turned around and walked towards the elevator.
Li Zhinan followed the mother and son with a small schoolbag in his hand.
The light of the setting sun passed through the treetops and fell onto the family of three, stretching their shadows on the ground very long.
Li Zhinan's eyes were gloomy, but Cheng Qian was only concerned with talking to her son and ignored him.
Outside the school gate, Cheng Qian put her son in her car and drove away.
Li Zhinan put the little guy's schoolbag on the passenger seat and was about to drive to catch up.
Suddenly, a family of three walked out from the side. A little girl was held in the man's arms and was talking happily. Her mother was holding a schoolbag and was held tightly by the man's other hand.
Such a heartwarming scene stung Li Zhinan's eyes.
