Dragon Clan: No one wants me, Lu Mingfei.

Chapter 453 Are you still a dog? !

My name is Chu Tianjiao, and I am very panicked now.

As a dual-specialist with the support of the Secret Party and the Dragon Group, and as one of the strongest hybrids in the world, I should have nothing to fear.

But now, facing the powerless woman on the sofa, I was scared to death. I wished I could find a crack in the ground to crawl into, or turn around and kick the special safety door and crawl out.

But it’s not possible. That woman is my ex-wife, my son’s mother, and the woman I love most in my life.

I deceived her for many years, from the day we first met, to the day we got our marriage certificate from the Civil Affairs Bureau, from the day our child was born, to the day we got our divorce certificate from the Civil Affairs Bureau...

Even now, I am still considering whether to lie to her.

There is only one deception and countless times, because one lie requires countless lies to cover it up.

But fortunately, she is stupid and not very smart.

I was absolutely sure I could fool her.

It’s just that, looking at those beautiful eyes that were full of love when they were in love, full of sadness when they were divorced, but now are as calm as water without a single ripple.

I know that I can no longer easily stir up her emotions as I did in the past.

There is no me in her world anymore.

It's not her fault because I was the one who pushed her away.

It is a very simple, crude but effective way - to start.

When the pillar of a family gives up on making progress and just spends his days eating and waiting to die, all his enthusiasm will be worn out and the woman who loves him deeply will completely give up.

Chu Tianjiao looked at the woman who was stroking the cat silently and felt like he didn't know where to put his hands. His face felt a little itchy and he wanted to scratch it. He wanted to take out the unfinished chewing gum in his pocket and he wanted to wipe off the footprints left by Lu Tianming on his butt.

Clearly just now in the car, and even every day after the divorce, he had fantasized and rehearsed countless times how to confess to Su Xiaoyan.

What should you say when confessing, what tone and expression should you use, and what body movements should you use.

But why is it that when the day really came, he could only utter "Long time no see" and couldn't say anything else?

Brain: Mouth, speak quickly. You talk nonsense all day long, why do you become silent at the critical moment?
Mouth: Your fucking brain is full of dopamine, and you don't have a single line. What should I say? Say, say, say, say you love me? !
Just when Chu Tianjiao felt that his brain and mouth were about to fight to decide who would live and who would die, another voice finally rang out in the living room which had been silent for a while.

"Finished?"

Su Xiaoyan looked at the man standing at the entrance, who was a little restless, and spoke in a flat tone, as if she would let the butler send him away as long as he dared to nod.

"No!" Chu Tianjiao shook his head like a rattle.

He knew very well that if he dared to nod, he would never see her again in his life.

Su Xiaoyan didn't say anything when she saw this. She just lowered her eyes slightly and gently stroked the calico cat that was snoring on her knees.

The meaning is very clear, if you have something to say, say it, if you have to fart, get out of here.

After hesitating for a moment, Chu Tianjiao finally did not dare to lean on the sofa and stood two meters away from the living room.

He wanted to say something to lighten the atmosphere, but judging from her expression, she would probably think he was talking too much nonsense and tell him to get lost.

After all, I have heard it so much before that my ears are almost callused.

“Well, I’m not a driver anymore.”

As soon as I opened my mouth, my mouth betrayed my brain and said something completely opposite to what I had expected.

Chu Tianjiao wanted to slap himself in the face, but he was afraid of scaring her, so he could only bite the bullet and continue:

"I found a job in a government department. The monthly salary is high and stable, and it comes with all the five social insurances and one housing fund. If nothing unexpected happens, I can work there until I die."

This nonsense!

He had already made up his mind to create a character of a prodigal son who could correct his mistakes and start a new life, so why did he want to bet on frestyle as soon as he opened his mouth?

Fortunately, she did not show any resistance, disgust or impatience. She just listened quietly without expressing any opinions.

Chu Tianjiao knew that this was not what she wanted to hear.

If he continued to talk insignificant nonsense, she might not point at the door and tell him to get out, but she would probably ask him to leave with a cold face.

He knew her too well.

Thinking about his son who cut off the viaduct with a knife, his boss who was extremely treacherous, and his teammate who kicked him away, Chu Tianjiao gave up struggling:

"Before I became a driver, I worked abroad for a while."

One should eat one bite at a time and reveal the past bit by bit. Showing her the truth of the world all at once will only scare her.

“Speaking of which, our Chu family’s ancestors were once wealthy, but later on, the family fell into poverty, and I am the only one left.

At that time, I felt that I couldn’t achieve anything great in China, so I planned to take advantage of the influence of my ancestors and go abroad to try my luck and see if I could make a name for myself.”

His words successfully attracted Su Xiaoyan's attention. Although she was still petting the cat, her ears had already stood up.

"Maybe it sounds ridiculous to you, but in fact, I was well-known for my excellence in the eyes of those people abroad."

Chu Tianjiao relaxed slightly as he spoke, with one hand in his pocket, his eyes filled with melancholy as he recalled the past years:
"At that time, I was studying at a private university in the United States. It was not a fake university that anyone with money could attend, but a fraternity school of the University of Chicago.

The teaching content of that school is somewhat different from that of ordinary universities. In addition to being heavily biased towards the research and application of certain ancient creatures and ancient civilizations, it is also more practical.

I happened to know some martial arts and had a quick mind, so I soon became a famous figure on campus."

Having said this, he glanced at her expression, which was still calm, but her willow-shaped eyebrows were slightly moving towards the center.

It was obvious that she didn't believe what he said and thought he was just bragging irresponsibly as he did in the past.

Chu Tianjiao was not in a hurry to explain. This was a living room, not a court. They were not going to argue with Pu Gongtang for every word he said.

"Because I was so outstanding, some big shots came to me and gave me a very important task, which they said was related to the survival of mankind and the destruction of the world.

It's ridiculous, right? I thought so at that time." The man shrugged, his tone a little helpless:
"But later I realized that they were not exaggerating, and if nothing was done, the Mayan prophecy of the end of the world in 2012 might really come.

I accepted the task, and from then on, like Zhongyong, I gradually became one of the crowd.

After successfully fading from everyone's sight, I returned to my homeland and began to carry out top-secret missions."

At this point, Su Xiaoyan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly raised her head, with strong resistance and disgust in her eyes, and her face was as cold as ice that had not melted for thousands of years:

"Are you a spy sent by a foreign country?!"

Just now, when she was listening to the man's bragging, she was thinking about complaining that he was saving the world by working as a driver, but when she heard the end, she realized something was wrong.

Accepting instructions from foreigners, returning to the country to carry out top-secret missions, running to the unit to drive for the leader, and every day either running errands in the unit or driving around. This is so consistent with the espionage activities publicized in the city!

Su Xiaoyan stopped petting the cat and looked at the man who suddenly froze in indifference, her hand already reaching for the fruit knife under the coffee table. She only knew that he was a useless person who didn't want to make progress, but she didn't expect that he was also a traitor who worked for foreigners!

"No, I'm not a spy. What's going on in your head?!"

Chu Tianjiao was so frightened upon seeing this that he quickly waved his hands, and naturally he could no longer pretend to be gloomy and desolate.

He knew that although Su Xiaoyan seemed a little heartless and didn't care much about many things, her father-in-law and mother-in-law taught her to have a red heart towards the motherland since she was a child, and she had never slacked off in her patriotism.

If she misunderstands me as a lackey of the foreigners, I will really be kicked out.

"I have no vested interests with them. I only agreed to their request to save the world and humanity from crisis."

However, to Su Xiaoyan, it sounded like Chu Tianjiao didn't even want the money, but was fooled by a few words and became a dog for the foreigners.

This made her angry, and she picked up the fruit knife and prepared to unsheathe it.

However, just as she threw the cat aside to prevent accidental injury, the man who was standing at the edge of the living room and trying to explain himself suddenly had a dazzling golden light in his eyes.

“Meow~~~——”

The movement of the calico cat flying towards the sofa pillow was slowed down countless times, and the cry was infinitely prolonged in this slow motion.

Su Xiaoyan, who was about to draw her sword, was suddenly stunned when she saw this. She looked at the cat in slow motion, then at the clock on the wall that was almost still, and fell into an indescribable confusion.

She had taken her son to see The Matrix before and knew about the concept of bullet time.

But isn't that something that only appears in science fiction movies?

How can anyone do this in real life?

And it’s a cat!

"It's not it, it's me." Chu Tianjiao easily saw through Su Xiaoyan's thoughts through the changes in her facial expressions and explained.

Facing Su Xiaoyan's complex gaze that was three parts vigilance, three parts contempt, three parts doubt, and one part alienation, Chu Tianjiao took a daffodil from the shelf beside him and gently let go.

The daffodils, which should have fallen to the ground due to gravity, were frozen in mid-air.

Su Xiaoyan was extremely stunned. Her eyes moved back and forth between the man and the daffodils, finally stopping on the pair of devastated golden eyes.

"Now, you can trust me."

Chu Tianjiao looked at the woman with a silly expression, and for a moment he felt as if he was back to the days when he performed magic to make her happy.

The moment he finished speaking, time returned to its normal flow. The calico cat fell on the soft pillow, meowing and complaining to its owner for scaring the cat.

The narcissus that was frozen in mid-air fell a short distance and was caught in Chu Tianjiao's hand.

Su Xiaoyan looked at this incredible scene and finally did not pull out the fruit knife for self-defense.

"So, everything you said is true?"

Her eyes were very complicated and her emotions were a little excited.

Anyone who knows that her husband, who has slept with her for many years and is cowardly and unmotivated, is actually a superhuman with superpowers who is committed to saving the world, will not be much calmer than her.

"Yeah." Chu Tianjiao nodded gently, his movements and voice were very light:

"Because my ability is very powerful, it is infinitely close to stopping time, so I am the best choice to carry out this mission."

Just as Spider-Man's uncle said before he died, with great power comes great responsibility.

The same goes for Chu Tianjiao. He bears responsibilities according to his abilities.

Another owner of Time Zero is the world's strongest dragon slayer and leader of the secret party. Even at the age of over a hundred, he is still often at the forefront of dragon slaying.

He was just carrying out a top-secret undercover mission, which was much easier.

Just as he was ready to reveal all his secrets, he heard Su Xiaoyan's cold and quiet words:

"You can pause time, so why are you always late or absent from Zihang's parent-teacher conferences?"

Chu Tianjiao: ∑(O_O;)
No, is there something wrong with the focus? !
I display words that are comparable to super powers, I shoulder the heavy responsibility of saving humanity and the world, and I hide secrets related to legendary creatures such as dragons. Which one of these is not more serious than missing a parent-teacher meeting for a child?

"Um, that time, the leader of our company had to go out for something urgent..." Chu Tianjiao explained dryly, sounding very weak.

"What about Zihang's matriculation ceremony? His teacher told me that he was the only one whose parents didn't come, and he specifically asked me to pay more attention to the child."

Su Xiaoyan looked at the man in front of her, anger flashing in her eyes.

If it weren't for the call from her son's class teacher, she would have no idea that parents were required to accompany their children to the entrance ceremony.

Lu Tianming said that he would arrange everything perfectly, so she felt at ease to go on vacation to Northern Europe with him.

Now that I think about it, it was clearly to create an opportunity for the man in front of me and my son to spend time together.

But he was absent from such an important occasion and ceremony in his son’s life!
Chu Zihang was the top student of that freshman class, and the principal specially awarded him the "Freshman Scholarship" in front of all the freshmen. He should have been the coolest one in the audience, but because he was alone, he became the most miserable one!

"Well, the boss said there is an important client..." Chu Tianjiao scratched his head and couldn't finish his words.

After all, even with his thick skin, he couldn't say in front of the child's mother that he missed the child's most important entrance ceremony because he had to accompany his boss and clients to take a shower.

Fortunately, he was just smoking in the car and looking at the receptionist in a black miniskirt, and he didn't stay with her overnight. Otherwise, he wouldn't have to wait for the fruit knife to be unsheathed, and he could have just found a place to commit suicide.

Looking at the man hesitating and unable to speak, Su Xiaoyan felt as if she had returned to the past.

She asked him to find a job that could earn money to support the family, and the couple should save money together to send their children to a better school. However, this man would only nod and agree, but never take any action. When faced with her questioning, he would just scratch his head and smile foolishly, stammering and unable to utter complete sentences.

First love is always unforgettable, and first marriage is even more unforgettable.

Over the years, Su Xiaoyan kept the man deep in her heart, not giving him a chance to see the light of day again.

She thought that after getting the divorce certificate, she would be able to put her heart and love behind her. After crying for those few days, she would never shed tears for this man again, and she would not be sad even if she heard that he had died.

But at this moment, he was provoked to anger again, and the grievance and anger in his heart made him pick up a shovel and spade, dig out the half-dead figure and whip the corpse severely.

Taking a deep breath, Su Xiaoyan managed to calm down.

She didn't ask any more questions, everything was over.

She is no longer the love-brained girl. Having tasted the sweetness of love, experienced the bitterness of love and suffered the pain of love, she no longer has any illusions about love. She only wants to find a support that can allow her and her son to live a stable life.

but……

"Tell me, what is the relationship between you and Lu Tianming?"
