Blackening starts from the golden years

Downstairs of Gao Xiaqing's house.

After picking up Keke and Guoguo from kindergarten and returning to Gao Xiaqing's home, Yuan Xudong said:
"Xia Qing, Keke and I are going back. See you tomorrow."

"Well, see you tomorrow."

Gao Xiaqing waved to Yuan Xudong and smiled gently. After that, she looked down at Guoguo beside her and smiled:

"Guoguo, say goodbye to Uncle Yuan. Thank you, Uncle."

"Ah."

Guo Guo nodded obediently, then he looked at Yuan Xudong and smiled:

"Goodbye uncle, thank you uncle."

"You're welcome. Goodbye, Guoguo."

Looking at Guoguo, Yuan Xudong half squatted down, stretched out his right hand and touched his little head and said with a smile:

"I heard from Coco that your birthday is in two days. How about your uncle come to your house to celebrate your birthday then?"

"Okay, thank you uncle."

"Well, Guoguo is really well behaved."

Yuan Xudong touched Guoguo's little head and said with a smile:

"Uncle will bring you a gift then. What gift do you want?"

"Well, I want to race cars."

"Okay, uncle will buy you a racing car."

Yuan Xudong said with a smile. At this time, Gao Xiaqing stood beside him and looked at Guoguo and said with a smile:

"Guoguo, thank you Uncle Yuan."

"Well, thank you uncle."

"You're welcome."

Yuan Xudong smiled and stood up straight, looking at Gao Xiaqing in front of him and said with a smile:
"Okay, Coco and I are going back. If you have anything, just call me or send me a WeChat message."

"OK Bye Bye."

"Bye-Bye."

"Bye Coco."

"Bye Aunt Gao, bye Guo Guo, see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow Coco."

……

Yuan Xudong drove Zhu Keke to the gallery, handed her over to her mother Gu Moli, and then drove straight to Shen Liuliu's house.

night.

Shen Liuliu's family.

Yuan Xudong held the frightened and crying Shen Liuliu in his arms and sat on the sofa in the living room, listening quietly to her talk about the physical examination she had this afternoon.

Knowing what she was worried about, Yuan Xudong held her in his arms and comforted her:
"It's okay, don't worry, we will go to the hospital for a detailed examination tomorrow."

"Ah."

Shen Liuliu hummed softly, snuggled in Yuan Xudong's arms, and murmured:

"Xudong, I'm so scared."

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Gently patting Shen Liuliu, Yuan Xudong said:
"Liuliu, do you have any dreams? After the examination tomorrow, I will take you to realize your dreams, okay?"

"Really?"

"Really, I lied to you. I'm a puppy."

"my dream……"

Shen Liuliu thought for a moment and replied:

“My dream is to be a mother.”

"what?"

Looking down at Shen Liuliu in his arms, Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"Then I will work hard to help you realize your dream as soon as possible."

"Ah."

Shen Liuliu hummed softly, then raised her eyes to look at Yuan Xudong and said emotionally:

"Xudong, love me."

"you sure?"

"Yeah, I'm sure."

"it is good."

Looking at Shen Liuliu, whose eyes were shy but extremely determined, Yuan Xudong hugged her and stood up from the sofa and walked towards the bedroom.

Go into the bedroom.

Yuan Xudong gently put Shen Liuliu in his arms on the bed and laid her flat. He then leaned over, looked into her eyes, and said very gently:
"Liuliu, I'll be gentle."

"Hmm~"

Looking up at Yuan Xudong who was pressing on her, Shen Liuliu blushed with shame. She said shyly in a low voice with her eyes rolling:

"You, you have to have some mercy on me."

……

One night passed and dawn came in a blink of an eye. Happy times are always short.

Early in the morning, Yuan Xudong took Shen Liuliu to the hospital for a detailed examination.

After the examination, return to the clinic.

"Doctor, is there any bad news?"

Looking at the female doctor sitting behind the desk, Shen Liuliu asked with some fear.

"It's not bad news. Don't overthink it at such a young age. It's a benign cyst. Pay attention to your diet and have regular checkups."

the doctor replied.

"Re-examination?"

Hearing the doctor say this, Shen Liuliu said happily:
"So, I don't have to die?"

"What's the matter with death?"

Looking at Shen Liuliu, the female doctor smiled and said:
"Progesterone will affect cysts, but medicine is very advanced now, so you don't need to worry too much about it. Just maintain a good lifestyle. As a mother, you must first take care of your body, go to bed early and get up early, and stop drinking, okay? Don't worry, the arrival of a new life is always good. Congratulations."

"Doctor, what do you mean?"

Shen Liuliu asked in disbelief. This surprise came too suddenly.

"you are pregnant."

The female doctor smiled.

……

After leaving the clinic, Shen Liuliu cried with joy. Seeing her like this, Yuan Xudong hurried over to her and asked with concern:

"What did the doctor say? Don't cry, don't be afraid. Medicine is so advanced now, and you're so young, you will definitely be cured."

"Xudong, thank you."

Looking at Yuan Xudong, Shen Liuliu burst into laughter and said:

"Thank you so much, I'm fine."

"No, what did the doctor say?"

Looking at Shen Liuliu, Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"You scared me by laughing and crying at the same time."

"Xudong."

"Ok?"

Yuan Xudong looked at Shen Liuliu. Shen Liuliu also looked at him and said with a happy smile:
"The doctor said I'm pregnant."

"what?"

Looking at Shen Liuliu, Yuan Xudong pretended to be surprised and asked:

"Whose child is it?"

"You hate~~"

After patting Yuan Xudong twice, Shen Liuliu said coquettishly:

"Whose could it be other than you?"

"Oh, so it's mine. So, I'm going to be a father?"

"Ah."

Shen Liuliu nodded and smiled:
“I’m going to be a mother.”

"Liuliu, thank you."

Yuan Xudong held Shen Liuliu's right arm with his hand and said with a smile:

"Come on, wife, let's go home."

"Well, go home."

……

arrive home.

Shen Liuliu sat on the sofa in the living room, eating the fruit platter that Yuan Xudong had cut himself, and chuckled:

"Xudong, what are you doing?"

"Hold still, let me hear it."

Yuan Xudong put his ear to Shen Liuliu's belly and listened, laughing:
"Now that you are a mother, you are not allowed to wear belly-revealing clothes anymore. Do you understand?"

While eating the fruit platter, Shen Liuliu smiled happily:

"Oh, I see."

"Pomegranate."

"Well, what happened?"

Looking up at Shen Liuliu, Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"Do you want to resign?"

"No."

"I'll support you."

"I still don't want to."

"obedient."

"Disobedient."

"You just won't listen?"

Looking at the pouting Shen Liuliu, Yuan Xudong sat down beside her, held her in his arms, gently patted her perky buttocks and said with a smile:
"Do you want to listen or not?"

"I won't listen, I won't listen, beat me to death."

"So arrogant?"

Yuan Xudong smiled, and he raised and clapped his hands gently and continuously.

……

After a long while, looking at the blushing Shen Liuliu, Yuan Xudong smiled and said:

"Aren't you obedient?"

"Well, I'll listen to you."

"Say, I love you, husband."

"No, it's so embarrassing."

"Ok?"

Yuan Xudong narrowed his eyes and raised his palm slightly. Seeing this, Shen Liuliu immediately became very obedient and shouted:

"Husband I love you."

"Not bad."

Yuan Xudong reached out and touched Shen Liuliu's face and hair, and said with a smile:

"Come on, husband will carry you to take a bath."

"Hmm~"

……

at night.

Bedroom bed.

After taking a shower together, Yuan Xudong carried Shen Liuliu into the bedroom, lay down on the bed with her and said with a smile:
"Go to bed, good night." "Yeah, good night."

Not long after, Shen Liuliu looked at Yuan Xudong's profile and whispered:
"Honey, I can't sleep."

"Well, you can count sheep."

“I don’t want to count sheep.”

"Then what do you want to do?"

"Would you hug me?"

"it is good."

Yuan Xudong turned around and held Shen Liuliu in his arms, looking into her eyes and smiling gently:
"good night."

"OK, good night."

Shen Liuliu snuggled into Yuan Xudong's arms, a happy smile on her face.

……

The next morning, Bird Gallery.

Gu Moli received Nana's voice message on WeChat and clicked to play:
"Moli, I've given you Yan Li's business card. The rest depends on your luck. I wish you good luck."

"That's great, thank you honey, love you, muah, I'll add him right away."

Gu Moli replied. After that, she added Yan Li as a WeChat friend and was quickly accepted.

【I am Gu Moli. 】

【Hello, I am Yan Li. 】

[Hello, Mr. Yan. I am your schoolmate, Gu Moli, a junior from the Oil Painting Department in 2008. I am now an agent at the Feiniao Gallery. I wonder when you are free. I would like to meet you.]

Soon, Yan Li replied:
【See you at Peony Club at 2pm.】

[Okay, thank you, Teacher Yan.]

"yeah!"

Gu Moli was very excited to have successfully made an appointment with Yan Li. Not far away, Mina glanced at her and secretly made her own plans. At this time, Gu Moli also looked at her, and their eyes met. Gu Moli raised her head slightly, picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip, with a proud look on her face. Mina raised her eyebrows slightly and stared at her unwillingly.

"Hmph~~"

"Hmph~~"

They both looked away almost at the same time and snorted.

……

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Gu Moli left the gallery with her bag, preparing to go to the Peony Club to meet Yan Li and persuade him to join Feiniao Gallery.

As soon as she left, Mina followed. Outside the Fei Niao Gallery, Gu Moli had just gotten into the car and hadn't even had time to fasten her seat belt when Mina opened the door and sat in the passenger seat.

"What are you doing?"

"Have you hooked up with Yan Li?"

Mina asked, buckling up her seatbelt.

"Does it have anything to do with you?"

"Of course it has something to do with me. I also want to meet Yan Li."

"Get out of the car, quickly."

Looking at Mina, Gu Moli frowned slightly and said:

"We agreed to a fair competition, based on our abilities."

"I won't get off the car. I have to go with you to see Yan Li."

Looking at Gu Moli, Mina smiled cheekily:

"As for who can convince Yan Li, it all depends on our own abilities."

"Are you a dog-skin plaster? Once you stick it on, you can't tear it off."

Looking at Gu Moli, Mina smiled and said:

"Look at the bigger picture. Are you afraid of competing with me? Drive quickly."

"You're so thick-skinned."

Gu Moli couldn't help but rolled her eyes and muttered, then drove with Mina to the Peony Club.

……

After separating from Zhu Jincao, Gu Moli began to realize her career ambition. As for her daughter Zhu Keke, she asked Yuan Xudong, the new dad, to help take care of her, such as picking her up from school.

A little after four in the afternoon, at the kindergarten gate.

Yuan Xudong drove over to pick up Coco.

"Mom, mom, mom..."

"Guoguo, don't be afraid, mom is here."

There was a group of people watching in front. Yuan Xudong opened the door and got out of the car. He heard the voices of Gao Xiaqing and her son Guoguo, and hurried forward to check.

"Give me, please give me."

"Mom, mom, mom..."

"Guoguo, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, mom is here, mom is here, don't be afraid."

"Sister, are you okay?"

A delivery man hurriedly apologized to Gao Xiaqing:
"I'm sorry, I was riding too fast, I'm sorry."

Gao Xiaqing didn't care about the delivery man who caused the accident. She quickly got up from the ground, hugged the frightened Guo Guo beside her, carefully checked his body, and said with a worried look on her face:
"Guo Guo, are you okay?"

"Mom, I'm fine."

"Sister, why don't you add me on WeChat? You can contact me at any time if you have any questions. I still have a lot of orders to deliver."

"Forget it, just go ahead and don't ride so fast next time. How dangerous is that?"

"Thank you, sister. Thank you, sister. I will pay attention next time."

"Okay, go ahead. I know it's not easy for you guys either."

"thanks, thanks."

The delivery man was very grateful, then quickly left the scene on his electric scooter.

"Xia Qing, are you okay?"

Yuan Xudong walked out of the crowd, supporting the limping Gao Xiaqing and frowning:

"You've fallen like this, and you're still letting him go?"

"Xudong."

Looking at Yuan Xudong, Gao Xiaqing smiled and said:
"I'm fine. My foot was just squeezed. I'll be fine after a short rest. It's not easy for them either."

"I'll take you to the hospital for a checkup."

"Don't bother, I'm fine, really."

"Be obedient and check the insurance."

After saying that, Yuan Xudong looked at Guo Guo next to him and said:

"Guoguo, can you stay here with mom and wait for uncle to come back?"

"it is good."

"Guoguo is so good."

Yuan Xudong let Guoguo stay with Gao Xiaqing and wait while he went into the kindergarten to pick up Keke. Looking at his back, Gao Xiaqing's eyes were full of sweet love and happiness.

Only those who have experienced bitterness know how sweet sweetness is.

……

Yuan Xudong took Zhu Keke's hand and walked out of the kindergarten. Looking up at him, Zhu Keke asked:
"Brother, where is my mother? Why didn't she come to pick me up from school again?"

"Well, your mother is at work and doesn't have time. She's very busy."

"Oh, what about you, brother?"

Looking at Yuan Xudong, Zhu Keke asked innocently:

"You don't have to work, aren't you busy?"

"Well, my brother is also very busy, but when I think about picking up Princess Coco from school, I am no longer busy."

"why?"

"Because Princess Coco is so beautiful and cute."

Looking at Zhu Keke, Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"And I promised your mother that I would pick you up from the kindergarten. Your mother will give me a reward."

"What's the reward?"

"Secret, go home and ask your mother."

"Ok."

Yuan Xudong brought Zhu Keke to Gao Xiaqing and Guoguo, and smiled at Gao Xiaqing:
"Let's go, I'll take you to the hospital."

"Ah."

……

hospital.

"Luckily, no bones were injured. Don't let the wound come into contact with water or do heavy work in the next few days. If you have any problems, let your husband do it."

The doctor said. Gao Xiaqing was a little embarrassed. She was about to say something when Yuan Xudong stood beside her and said with a smile:

"Okay, thank you doctor."

"You're welcome."

After coming out of the clinic, Yuan Xudong supported Gao Xiaqing's arm. Gao Xiaqing said a little embarrassedly:
"It's okay, I can do it myself. I said it's okay, there's no need to come to the hospital, just rest and you'll be fine."

"It's better to check it out, so you can be more at ease."

Looking at Gao Xiaqing, Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"Come on, I'll take you home."

"Ah."

……

Hospital lobby.

"Brother, I want to eat a hamburger."

“I want a burger, too.”

Looking at Zhu Keke and Guoguo who wanted to eat hamburgers, Gao Xiaqing looked at Yuan Xudong beside her and smiled gently:

"I know there's a really affordable internet-famous restaurant nearby. How about we go there and have some burgers?"

"Okay."

Yuan Xudong readily agreed.

"Yeah, thank you brother, thank you Aunt Gao."

"Thank you, mom, thank you, uncle."

"Shh, be quiet, this is a hospital, you know?"

"Ah."

"Ah."

Looking at Gao Xiaqing who was coaxing Zhu Keke and Guoguo, she was slightly bent over and leaning forward. Yuan Xudong took a glimpse of her inadvertently. What a tender and beautiful scene, like the white snow on a snow-capped mountain, so holy.

As if noticing Yuan Xudong's gaze, Gao Xiaqing blushed slightly and said softly:
"Xudong, let's go."

"it is good."

……

After eating the hamburgers, Yuan Xudong sent Gao Xiaqing and Guoguo home first.

Arriving downstairs of Gao Xiaqian's house, Yuan Xudong stopped in the driveway:

"arrive."

"Shh~~"

Gao Xiaqing sat in the back row, hugging the sleeping Zhu Keke and Guo Guo, and smiled at Yuan Xudong in the front row:
"They're all asleep."

Yuan Xudong smiled, he opened the door and got out of the car, helped Gao Xiaqing open the door, took Guoguo from her hands, and waited for her to get out of the car. He handed Guoguo back to her, and then he took the sleeping Zhu Keke out of the car, then looked at Gao Xiaqing beside him and smiled:
"Let's go. I'm a little thirsty. Can I go to your house and have a glass of water?"

"Hmm~"

Gao Xiaqing's pretty face blushed slightly. She lowered her head shyly and whispered:

"Let's go."

"Thank you."

Yuan Xudong smiled slightly, and he followed Gao Xiaqing into the apartment building and into her home.
