obsessed with love
Chapter 251
Chapter 251
It was already noon when we arrived at the hospital.
When getting out of the car, Du Ruo felt dizzy for a moment. Maybe it was because the sun was too glaring, or maybe what happened to Xu Xiaoya made her feel unpredictable. Anyway, she trembled and held on to the car door to barely stand still.
Qiao Anming immediately got out of the car and walked over, asking, "What's wrong?"
She raised her hands to cover her eyes: "It's nothing, I'm a little tired, maybe it's because I didn't sleep much yesterday."
Qiao Anming saw that her complexion was really bad, and suddenly remembered: "I remember you had pregnancy anemia when you were pregnant. Has the situation improved over the years?"
She shook her head: "No, low blood pressure, and I often didn't sleep with the belt at that time, so I suffered from migraine."
Qiao Anming didn't know what else to say.
Whatever she suffers, he will be in debt.
"Go and sit in the car for a while, I'll help you!"
"No, you're still waiting for me in the ward."
"Be obedient, go in and sit for a while, the hypotension can be big or small!" Regardless of Du Ruo's willingness or not, he held her arm and pushed her into the back seat of the car, and then sat next to her himself.
The closed environment may be because the two are too close, she can vaguely smell the faint smell of cigarettes on his body.
"Why is there a smell of smoke? Are you smoking?"
Qiao Anming said "hmm": "When you were recording your statement just now, I accompanied Jiang Hao outside to smoke a couple of cigarettes."
"I remember you don't smoke."
"Yes, I quit before, but I have smoked again in the past few years, but you still remember..." Qiao Anming smiled slightly, and turned to look at Du Ruo, "Apart from smoking, do you still remember my other things?" What?"
This question is so treacherous.
Du Ruo hurriedly turned his head away: "It's gone, it's been said that raising a child is stupid for three years, and my memory is getting worse and worse..."
After she finished speaking, she also felt that the goosebumps were messed up, what a lazy excuse!
Qiao Anming smiled wryly, and suddenly said: "Having a bad memory is not a good thing, at least you will feel better in these years, but I am not as lucky as you."
"What?" Du Ruo was baffled by what he said.
But Qiao Anming changed the subject again, with a bitter smile on his face: "It's nothing, let's not talk about it, I just suddenly remembered something, logically Xu Xiaoya shouldn't know where you are, and she shouldn't recognize you, how could she be here? Stop him at the nursery door?"
"I also asked when I was recording the statement. The policeman who handled the case said that Xu Xiaoya had been following me for more than a week, and she found out the location of the nursery in advance. Moreover, Jiang Hao came to Yixian to visit me a few days ago. I took a photo of me getting married, Xu Xiaoya did this because she saw the photo in his phone..."
After Du Ruo finished explaining, the expression on his face became even more sad: "I can understand Xu Xiaoya, she can't have children now, and Jiang Hao divorced her again, she probably couldn't stand such a blow before she made such a bad plan."
Qiao Anming took a deep breath: "Do you know what Jiang Hao said to me in the lobby of the Public Security Bureau just now?"
"He treats you? What can you say?"
"He said that he has been regretting all these years. He regretted divorcing you at the beginning. If he hadn't cheated at the beginning, maybe it would have nothing to do with me!"
This was Jiang Hao's truth, but Du Ruo always felt that something was wrong when he heard it.
"What about you, how did you answer him?"
"Oh, I just said thank you!"
"What do you thank him for?"
"Thank him for cheating back then!"
"..." Du Ruo sneered, what kind of logic is this, old man's logic!
"But he also said later that he said that he was sorry for you and Xu Xiaoya in this life, but he said that my luck is better than him, and he has no one to cherish, so let me cherish it."
Du Ruo didn't speak, just smiled, took out his phone and deleted Jiang Hao's number from the address book.
She finally heard him say the word "regret". When she was divorced, she was so embarrassed that she cursed that the two of them would not be happy. "Not owe each other".
Now it's finally the day when I can lower my eyes and smile slightly, fearing everything.
By the time Du Ruo entered the ward, it was time to have already had lunch and fell asleep, and Zheng Xiaoran was standing at the window and talking on the phone in a low voice.
"Sorry, can you help me cancel my flight to the UK next week?... No, it's not a visa issue, it's my personal reasons... That's troublesome, thank you..."
Zheng Xiaoran turned around after making the phone call, only to find Du Ruo standing at the door.
"Why did you cancel the ticket?" Du Ruo asked.
Zheng Xiaoran's eyes drifted to the sleeping body: "I won't go for now, I'll talk about it after I recover."
"The wound is nothing serious, besides, Qiao Anming said that he might be transferred to a hospital in Chongzhou for recuperation in a few days, so don't cancel your ticket, go ahead. I know you still have unstoppable thoughts, Don't marry Xiaobai with regrets, it's unfair to Xiaobai."
Zheng Xiaoran hesitated for a few seconds, and finally nodded slightly.
Du Ruo chuckled: "When are you leaving next week? Find me before you go, I have something for you to bring to him."
"Okay." Zheng Xiaoran didn't ask what it was, just glanced behind Du Ruo, "Where's Qiao Anming? Gone?"
"No, he said to buy some things and come to the hospital in a while."
"Then you two?"
"What happened to the two of us?"
"Du Ruo, don't play dumb with me. What are your future plans? If you go to Chongzhou to recuperate this time, Qiao Anming must arrange the whole process. What's the matter with you together like this?"
"It's okay, he's Liao's father, as it should be."
"Go!" Zheng Xiaoran could not wait to slap her: "Can you not play dumb in front of me? You clearly know what I'm asking. Qiao Anming has been staying with you in the hospital for the past few days. Didn't he propose to get back together with you?"
"mentioned…"
"Then what do you say?"
"I didn't answer, he said he would give me time to think about it!"
Zheng Xiaoran stomped anxiously: "You are stupid, what are you thinking about? Do you really think that Qiao Anming can't find a woman? Does he insist on you? With his current wealth, he can wave casually, there are a lot of girls who are younger and more beautiful than you Rushing to get involved with him, if you wait any longer, you will lose everything!"
"What a waste of money, you used the wrong words! It's okay, I'll judge it myself! I'm still sleeping, don't wake him up." Du Ruo tried to change the topic, Zheng Xiaoran wanted to say something else, But Qiao Anming came in with a few shopping bags.
"What are you talking about? Such a happy chat?" He asked casually.
Zheng Xiaoran hurried over: "I'm talking about you!"
"Talking about me? What are you talking about?"
"Let's talk about when you plan to let us recognize our ancestors and return to our clan!"
"No, don't listen to Xiao Ran's nonsense." Du Ruo ruthlessly pulled her away, stood in front of Qiao Anming, and asked with a sneering smile, "What... did you go shopping?"
"I went to a nearby supermarket. I see that you haven't been in the mood to go out to eat these days. It's not good to be hungry, so I prepared some food for you and bought some snacks for you." Qiao Anming explained.
Zheng Xiaoran opened the shopping bag in a tricky manner, and it was indeed full of snacks and seasonal fruits. She flipped through it and picked out a bottle of yogurt to drink.
"Mr. Qiao, I didn't realize it before. With such a meticulous mind, I actually know how to use this trick to attract people's hearts..."
"No, Du Ruo's blood pressure is low, and he easily gets dizzy when he's fasting." Qiao Anming explained with a smile.
Zheng Xiaoran looked at Du Ruo slyly, with a faint smile: "Don't tell me here, you have to tell the client, you have to let the client know that you care about her!"
"Zheng Xiaoran!" Du Ruo gritted his teeth.
"Haha...what's the rush? Beware of waking up your son!" Zheng Xiaoran emptied the yogurt triumphantly, then patted Du Ruo's shoulder again: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore, I'll go to the studio to see, I'm not here Be an LED light!"
Then he took a meaningful look at Qiao Anming, and when throwing the yogurt box, he purposely leaned in front of him: "I won this opportunity myself, Mr. Qiao, take good care of it!"
Qiao Anming kept laughing, looking very useful, until Zheng Xiaoran left, he turned around and asked Du Ruo: "Did you hear that? Even your friends said that!"
"Xiao Ran is talking nonsense, are you with her too?"
"I don't think it's nonsense, I think what she said is very reasonable!" Qiao suddenly adjusted to the ruffian mode. Du Ruo couldn't bear his appearance, so he turned around to grab the shopping bags, but a box fell out .
"What is this?"
"Airplane model!"
"What are you buying this for?"
"Give it to me for fun, he should be bored in the hospital recently."
"It's only 3 years old, he can play with models?"
"No, I can teach him!"
"..."
As a result, two hours later, such a scene appeared in the ward.
Liao sat on the bed, his right hand wrapped in gauze.
Qiao Anming moved a chair to the bed.
The two heads, one big and one small, were put together, and there was a pile of fragments of model airplanes in front of them. Someone, Qiao, was seriously teaching a three-year-old child to assemble them.
"This is the wing, two pieces, they need to be fixed on both sides of the fuselage with screws."
"What are screws?"
"A screw is what holds two parts together."
"What's that part?"
"The parts are just the pieces."
"Oh, I see..." The little guy propped his chin with his left hand, and asked again: "Where are the wings? Dad, what are the wings?"
"A wing is the wing of an airplane."
"Do planes have wings too? Is it like a chicken? Chickens have wings too... I like to eat KFC chicken wings, but my mother is not allowed to eat..."
"..."
Qiao Anming smiled wryly and couldn't. For the first time, he felt that his IQ was not enough to chat with a three-year-old boy.
Du Ruo has been sitting by the side watching, saw the dazzling light in the eyes, and also saw the unconcealable smile on the corner of Qiao Anming's mouth.
Maybe Zheng Xiaoran is right, she needs a father, and she has to give an explanation for the rest of her life.
But after interacting with Qiao Anming for a long time, he actually started to wilt him.
He needs to feed dinner and wash his face, anyway, he yells at everything: "I want Dad..."
Du Ruo was heartbroken, thinking that he had worked so hard to bring him to this age, three years was less than half a day as Qiao Anming's, maybe the blood relationship really couldn't be erased, it was soluble in water, and it had nothing to do with the length of time we spent together.
After a lot of tossing, the little guy didn't fall asleep until 9 o'clock in the evening.
Du Ruo persuaded Qiao Anming to go out and find a hotel for a night's rest, but he disagreed, and finally decided that Qiao Anming was still with him, and Du Ruo was resting in the clinic.
Maybe it was because they didn't sleep much the night before, and they had been running around for another day, so the two fell asleep quickly.
About midnight, Du Ruo was awakened by footsteps outside the door.
In the past few years, she has developed the habit of waking up in seconds with her children. She sleeps lightly. When she hears a little movement, she sits up in fright and looks around. Everything is fine. After breathing evenly, Qiao Anming also fell asleep lying on the bedside. up.
I forgot to turn off the light on the cabinet next to it, and a soft halo shrouded the father and son, and the airplane model that I just assembled in the afternoon was placed next to my pillow. The little guy rested one hand on the wing, and the other Hold Qiao Anming's fingertips with one hand.
For a moment, Du Ruo felt a pain in his heart that he couldn't breathe.
She had never dared to dream of such a warm picture before.
God knows how much Liao needs her father, and how much she hopes to have the courage to return to this man.
Du Ruo rubbed her face against the pillow to wipe away her tears, and then she got out of bed thinking about her feet, lifted the blanket and walked over.
He wanted to put the blanket on Qiao Anming's shoulders, but he woke up as soon as he moved. When he turned around and saw Du Ruo standing beside him, he was stunned for a moment: "What's wrong? Can't sleep again?"
"No..." Du Ruo didn't expect that he would wake up suddenly, his arms holding the blanket were still hanging in the air.
Only then did Qiao Anming realize that she had come to cover herself with a blanket, and stood up with a smile: "You can cover the blanket, I'm fine."
Du Ruo's nose was even more sour, but the hand holding the blanket did not withdraw.
Using the light, Qiao Anming noticed that Du Ruo's expression was not right, and the circles of his eyes were very red.
"What's wrong? Have you ever cried?"
She immediately buried her head and retracted her hands, took a sharp breath, raised her head and asked suddenly: "When are you going to transfer the patient to Chongzhou Hospital?"
Qiao Anming started arranging the transfer to another hospital the next day.
The best ward was arranged for him in Chongzhou Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, and he was officially transferred two days after an agreement with Du Ruo.
Zheng Xiaoran and Xiaobai visited the hospital again the next day, and Qiao Anming took the time to accompany Du Ruo home to pack his luggage first.
Halfway through the car, Du Ruo remembered that she ran from the pharmacy to the nursery when she received a call from Zheng Xiaoran that day. She was in such a hurry that the keys to the house were still left in the pharmacy, so she had to ask Qiao Anming to drive back.
When the colleagues in the pharmacy saw Du Ruo coming in, they all asked about the situation with concern. Du Ruo answered them one by one, but Xiaolin suddenly ran in from outside and asked Du Ruo mysteriously: "Sister Luo, tell me the truth. , Did that handsome uncle send you here?"
"No...how is it possible!" She tried to deny it, but Xiaolin's eyes were so sharp, she had already seen Qiao Anming's car with a ostentatious license plate parked at the door.
"No? Who is sitting in that car? Don't tell me it's a coincidence!"
"..." Seeing that Du Ruo couldn't hide it, he could only admit: "He came over to look, and sent me to get the key by the way!"
"So you admitted that you have a father-son relationship with him?" Xiaolin asked aggressively, and the other two colleagues in the pharmacy also followed suit.
Du Ruo could only be vague and perfunctory: "Whatever you think, I have to go, thank you for changing my shift." After speaking, he slipped out and ran across the road.
Qiao Anming got out of the car and opened the door for Du Ruo, but in the blink of an eye he saw several colleagues crowding the door of the pharmacy.
"What are they looking at?"
"They're watching you!"
While Du Ruo was packing his luggage, Qiao Anming watched from the side.
According to the plan, she will live in Chongzhou for about 1-2 weeks. She has to bring enough clothes for a change of clothes, and she blames the suitcase for not being big enough.
Fortunately, the canvas suitcase has compression space, so she pulled the zipper desperately.
Qiao Anming watched from the side and shook his head: "You are the mother of a three-year-old child, why haven't you learned how to pack things after so many years." After he finished speaking helplessly, he pulled Radu Ruo's arm, "Okay, I'll do it Bar."
Qiao Anming had no choice but to go to battle in person, and dumped all the things in the suitcase on the bed. She changed clothes, blankets, teacups and toys, and a few children's picture books... all messy things, anyway, she It will only be stuffed inside.
She really can't pack things in an orderly manner.
Qiao Anming neatly arranged the boxes one by one, with clothes and soft items on the bottom, and hard items and books on top. In such a neat way, there was still room in the overcrowded box just now.
"Is there anything else to put in there?"
"Let me think about it..." Du Ruo turned around the room again, took out a heavy photo album from the drawer of the bedside table, pressed it under the clothes, and tried to close the box quickly.
With sharp eyes, Qiao Anming stopped her.
"What album, can I see it?"
"There's nothing to see, they're all old photos of my parents..." She tried to hide it, but there was no silver 300 taels here, how could Qiao Anming let her go so easily.
"Show me." He didn't care whether Du Ruo was willing or not, anyway, he held her arm and took out the photo album.
Opening it, the first few pages are all photos of him and Du Ruo.
The photo was taken secretly by Gu Lan at that time, the scene where he and Du Ruo lived together in the villa in the suburbs of Tongcheng.
So many familiar memories.
She has a big belly, wears loose maternity clothes, and walks holding Qiao Anming's hand like a child...
He took her to the mall to buy baby products, and she stood in front of the counter holding a plush toy to tease Qiao Anming...
She fell asleep on the stone table in the garden, and he naughtily woke her up with a kiss...
……
One picture after another, the moment that freezes frame by frame.
Such a beautiful time, the warmest part of each other's memories.
Qiao Anming pinched the edge of the album and asked, "Do you still keep these photos?"
"Well, I kept it all the time, and now I know you from these photos." Du Ruo sat next to Qiao Anming, "At first I didn't understand, he didn't have the role of father in his life, but after he went to the nursery school Then I will come back and ask about my father, I don’t want to lie to him, so I will show him these photos..."
Qiao Anming was speechless for a while, and it took a few seconds before he spoke again: "I thought you would follow me and say that Dad is dead, you hate me so much, I never expected that you would show my photo, so That day at the pharmacy, when I recognized me at a glance, I couldn't believe it myself!"
Du Ruo smiled wryly: "Why should I tell you that you are dead? I don't want to lie to a child. After all, Lie is innocent. I have already felt sorry for him for letting him be born in a single-parent family, so I can't strip him anymore. Knowing the power of a father, he obviously has a father, but I lied to him that he is dead, it's not fair to him!"
So Du Ruo has never said a word against Qiao Anming in front of him.
She has always told, Dad loves him very much.
Qiao Anming was heartbroken while being moved.
"Thank you, thank you for not taking away my fatherhood."
"Don't thank me, you are his father. This is a fact that I can't change. Since I can't change it, why bother to cover it up?" Du Ruo has her own logic.
As a single mother, she can be embarrassed, work hard, feel pain behind her back and feel that there is no tomorrow, but in front of her, she is always strong, optimistic, and works hard to create a normal family environment.
"Okay, don't read it, give me the album." She went to pick the album on Qiao Anming's lap.
Qiao Anming held it down, not giving it to her, and turned backwards.
What follows are no longer photos, but reports cut from magazines and newspapers.
"The International Pharmaceutical Industry Conference hosted by the Boao Forum for Asia and co-organized by SilkAir Group was grandly held in Chongzhou. Relevant national government leaders and the founder of SilkAir, Qiao Anming, attended the opening ceremony..."
"The 2012 "China's Most Valuable Industry Top Ten Integrity Brands" ranking list was announced, and Shengan Group topped the list of top ten integrity brands in the pharmaceutical industry."
"Sunan Pharmaceutical was established by the Provincial Economic and Trade Commission as one of the 100 key cultivation and development enterprises in the province. At the same time, the unveiling ceremony of the training base of the Shengan Group of the China Institute for the Control of Pharmaceutical and Biological Products was grandly held..."
"The second cardiac charity hospital under Lanwang Foundation was completed in Beijing. The founder of Shengan, Qiao Anming, and his wife attended the opening ceremony..."
……
Turning over page by page, almost all of Qiao Anming's achievements and experiences in the past few years were included.
"Why did you cut these stories?" he asked a silly question.
Du Ruo rubbed his nose with his hands, and took a deep breath: "Because I need to know what you are doing all the time. When you get it, you always ask what my father is up to. I need to have something to answer him."
"Do you think your answer is convincing?"
"Then what do you want me to say? Say that I've been paying attention to you these years?" Du Ruo suddenly pulled out the photo album. She didn't want Qiao Anming to see it.
Whether it's the hardships or longings she has suffered all these years, she doesn't want Qiao Anming to know.
"Okay, don't look at it, pack up your things and go to the hospital."
But in the process of pulling out the photo album, she might have used too much force, and a photo in the middle fell to the ground.
Qiao Anming picked it up and was stunned after reading it.
That photo was taken after he underwent surgery for stomach bleeding many years ago.
"How do you have such a picture?"
"Gu Lan gave it to me." She thought for a while, and then denied: "No, I should have asked Gu Lan for it. At that time, my mother had just passed away, and you planned to divorce Gu Lan and leave the house. I went to Xuancheng to find me, and showed me your photo album, one of which is this photo..."
Qiao Anming was very surprised: "She went to find you? Why didn't you tell me?"
"There is nothing to say. The purpose of her going to me is to convince me not to divorce, so she showed me these photos to let me know that Sheng'an was made by you. Can't live without Sheng'an."
"And then? Then you believed what she said?"
"Otherwise, what else can I do?" Du Ruo looked up at Qiao Anming, "Although I'm not smart, I'm not stupid enough to think that my position in your heart can be equal to the whole Sheng'an, besides, Gu Lan is quite right. I can't be so selfish and let you have nothing, and I can't let you bear my reputation for the rest of my life, and my mother just passed away at that time, and I was already six months old. Could you be a little more greedy and let you divorce Gu Lan because of me giving up the whole Sheng'an?"
"Why not?" Qiao Anming's voice was hoarse: "Du Ruo, do you still remember a joke I told you, the joke about puppies and kittens.
The puppy asked the kitten to guess how many pieces of candy he had in his pocket, and the kitten asked, will you give me all of the guesses?The puppy said yes, I will give you two yuan if I guess correctly!As a result, the kitten guessed five yuan!Then, the puppy smiled and put the candy into the kitten's hand, and said, I still owe you three yuan... Just this joke, do you remember? "
Du Ruo nodded: "Of course I remember, you told me such a bad joke, and it wasn't funny, of course I remember!"
"But this is not a cold joke. I want to tell you that because I love you, I am willing to let go of all your greed."
He is rarely addicted to a relationship.
It's rare to become obsessed with a person.
It's rare to throw everything away like a lunatic and bet on an "irrational" with everything in his hands, but in the end the most rational person is Du Ruo.
"Since I am willing to divorce, I want to reconcile you with a stable future, but you deny all my efforts because of Gu Lan's few words, and then... Let me think about it, and then you went back to Tongcheng, you Just lied to me that you were going to marry Mo Youting, and I believed it like a fool..."
Qiao Anming couldn't accept this fact.
"Since you want to lie to me, why don't you lie to me for the rest of your life? Do you know how I have lived these years? You said a few days ago that you raised your son stupid for three years, and your memory is not as good as before, but I have a very good memory and remember a lot about you , For example, you are afraid of the dark, you are afraid of thunder, and you like to eat seafood and crab legs. So these years, every time there is thunder and rain, I will think of you, every time I see seafood, I will think of you... even every time I turn on and off the lights , I will always think of you... I used to only know that I cared about you, but after you disappeared, I realized that my life and my life are all imprinted by you. And what about you? You and Mo Youting lied to me, and then you left For so many years, I have never contacted me! If I hadn't met you at the pharmacy, do you plan to never see me again in this life!"
After Qiao Anming finished speaking these words in one breath, the whole body felt cold.
Should he be angry?
It's not enough to be angry!
He is heartbroken and hopeless!
Du Ruo laughed first, bitterly, and then began to cry.
"Why are you yelling at me? Are you going to settle the old score? Okay, then I'll tell you the truth! Do you remember the last time you got caught in the rain and came back wearing a men's T-shirt from me? That's yours T-shirt, when I moved out of the villa, I secretly hid one in the box. I have carried it all these years alone. When it is windy, rainy, thunder and lightning, I will hold it when I am afraid to death. Sleeping on a T-shirt, because it smells of you... Do you think I have your mobile number, and I am cruel if I don’t contact you? Then do you know how much courage it took me to not dial through every difficulty? What's your number? What's more, it's your son, whether he has a good face or personality, he looks like you in everything, and he dangles in front of my eyes all day, do you think I've had a better life these years than you? "
(End of this chapter)
It was already noon when we arrived at the hospital.
When getting out of the car, Du Ruo felt dizzy for a moment. Maybe it was because the sun was too glaring, or maybe what happened to Xu Xiaoya made her feel unpredictable. Anyway, she trembled and held on to the car door to barely stand still.
Qiao Anming immediately got out of the car and walked over, asking, "What's wrong?"
She raised her hands to cover her eyes: "It's nothing, I'm a little tired, maybe it's because I didn't sleep much yesterday."
Qiao Anming saw that her complexion was really bad, and suddenly remembered: "I remember you had pregnancy anemia when you were pregnant. Has the situation improved over the years?"
She shook her head: "No, low blood pressure, and I often didn't sleep with the belt at that time, so I suffered from migraine."
Qiao Anming didn't know what else to say.
Whatever she suffers, he will be in debt.
"Go and sit in the car for a while, I'll help you!"
"No, you're still waiting for me in the ward."
"Be obedient, go in and sit for a while, the hypotension can be big or small!" Regardless of Du Ruo's willingness or not, he held her arm and pushed her into the back seat of the car, and then sat next to her himself.
The closed environment may be because the two are too close, she can vaguely smell the faint smell of cigarettes on his body.
"Why is there a smell of smoke? Are you smoking?"
Qiao Anming said "hmm": "When you were recording your statement just now, I accompanied Jiang Hao outside to smoke a couple of cigarettes."
"I remember you don't smoke."
"Yes, I quit before, but I have smoked again in the past few years, but you still remember..." Qiao Anming smiled slightly, and turned to look at Du Ruo, "Apart from smoking, do you still remember my other things?" What?"
This question is so treacherous.
Du Ruo hurriedly turned his head away: "It's gone, it's been said that raising a child is stupid for three years, and my memory is getting worse and worse..."
After she finished speaking, she also felt that the goosebumps were messed up, what a lazy excuse!
Qiao Anming smiled wryly, and suddenly said: "Having a bad memory is not a good thing, at least you will feel better in these years, but I am not as lucky as you."
"What?" Du Ruo was baffled by what he said.
But Qiao Anming changed the subject again, with a bitter smile on his face: "It's nothing, let's not talk about it, I just suddenly remembered something, logically Xu Xiaoya shouldn't know where you are, and she shouldn't recognize you, how could she be here? Stop him at the nursery door?"
"I also asked when I was recording the statement. The policeman who handled the case said that Xu Xiaoya had been following me for more than a week, and she found out the location of the nursery in advance. Moreover, Jiang Hao came to Yixian to visit me a few days ago. I took a photo of me getting married, Xu Xiaoya did this because she saw the photo in his phone..."
After Du Ruo finished explaining, the expression on his face became even more sad: "I can understand Xu Xiaoya, she can't have children now, and Jiang Hao divorced her again, she probably couldn't stand such a blow before she made such a bad plan."
Qiao Anming took a deep breath: "Do you know what Jiang Hao said to me in the lobby of the Public Security Bureau just now?"
"He treats you? What can you say?"
"He said that he has been regretting all these years. He regretted divorcing you at the beginning. If he hadn't cheated at the beginning, maybe it would have nothing to do with me!"
This was Jiang Hao's truth, but Du Ruo always felt that something was wrong when he heard it.
"What about you, how did you answer him?"
"Oh, I just said thank you!"
"What do you thank him for?"
"Thank him for cheating back then!"
"..." Du Ruo sneered, what kind of logic is this, old man's logic!
"But he also said later that he said that he was sorry for you and Xu Xiaoya in this life, but he said that my luck is better than him, and he has no one to cherish, so let me cherish it."
Du Ruo didn't speak, just smiled, took out his phone and deleted Jiang Hao's number from the address book.
She finally heard him say the word "regret". When she was divorced, she was so embarrassed that she cursed that the two of them would not be happy. "Not owe each other".
Now it's finally the day when I can lower my eyes and smile slightly, fearing everything.
By the time Du Ruo entered the ward, it was time to have already had lunch and fell asleep, and Zheng Xiaoran was standing at the window and talking on the phone in a low voice.
"Sorry, can you help me cancel my flight to the UK next week?... No, it's not a visa issue, it's my personal reasons... That's troublesome, thank you..."
Zheng Xiaoran turned around after making the phone call, only to find Du Ruo standing at the door.
"Why did you cancel the ticket?" Du Ruo asked.
Zheng Xiaoran's eyes drifted to the sleeping body: "I won't go for now, I'll talk about it after I recover."
"The wound is nothing serious, besides, Qiao Anming said that he might be transferred to a hospital in Chongzhou for recuperation in a few days, so don't cancel your ticket, go ahead. I know you still have unstoppable thoughts, Don't marry Xiaobai with regrets, it's unfair to Xiaobai."
Zheng Xiaoran hesitated for a few seconds, and finally nodded slightly.
Du Ruo chuckled: "When are you leaving next week? Find me before you go, I have something for you to bring to him."
"Okay." Zheng Xiaoran didn't ask what it was, just glanced behind Du Ruo, "Where's Qiao Anming? Gone?"
"No, he said to buy some things and come to the hospital in a while."
"Then you two?"
"What happened to the two of us?"
"Du Ruo, don't play dumb with me. What are your future plans? If you go to Chongzhou to recuperate this time, Qiao Anming must arrange the whole process. What's the matter with you together like this?"
"It's okay, he's Liao's father, as it should be."
"Go!" Zheng Xiaoran could not wait to slap her: "Can you not play dumb in front of me? You clearly know what I'm asking. Qiao Anming has been staying with you in the hospital for the past few days. Didn't he propose to get back together with you?"
"mentioned…"
"Then what do you say?"
"I didn't answer, he said he would give me time to think about it!"
Zheng Xiaoran stomped anxiously: "You are stupid, what are you thinking about? Do you really think that Qiao Anming can't find a woman? Does he insist on you? With his current wealth, he can wave casually, there are a lot of girls who are younger and more beautiful than you Rushing to get involved with him, if you wait any longer, you will lose everything!"
"What a waste of money, you used the wrong words! It's okay, I'll judge it myself! I'm still sleeping, don't wake him up." Du Ruo tried to change the topic, Zheng Xiaoran wanted to say something else, But Qiao Anming came in with a few shopping bags.
"What are you talking about? Such a happy chat?" He asked casually.
Zheng Xiaoran hurried over: "I'm talking about you!"
"Talking about me? What are you talking about?"
"Let's talk about when you plan to let us recognize our ancestors and return to our clan!"
"No, don't listen to Xiao Ran's nonsense." Du Ruo ruthlessly pulled her away, stood in front of Qiao Anming, and asked with a sneering smile, "What... did you go shopping?"
"I went to a nearby supermarket. I see that you haven't been in the mood to go out to eat these days. It's not good to be hungry, so I prepared some food for you and bought some snacks for you." Qiao Anming explained.
Zheng Xiaoran opened the shopping bag in a tricky manner, and it was indeed full of snacks and seasonal fruits. She flipped through it and picked out a bottle of yogurt to drink.
"Mr. Qiao, I didn't realize it before. With such a meticulous mind, I actually know how to use this trick to attract people's hearts..."
"No, Du Ruo's blood pressure is low, and he easily gets dizzy when he's fasting." Qiao Anming explained with a smile.
Zheng Xiaoran looked at Du Ruo slyly, with a faint smile: "Don't tell me here, you have to tell the client, you have to let the client know that you care about her!"
"Zheng Xiaoran!" Du Ruo gritted his teeth.
"Haha...what's the rush? Beware of waking up your son!" Zheng Xiaoran emptied the yogurt triumphantly, then patted Du Ruo's shoulder again: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore, I'll go to the studio to see, I'm not here Be an LED light!"
Then he took a meaningful look at Qiao Anming, and when throwing the yogurt box, he purposely leaned in front of him: "I won this opportunity myself, Mr. Qiao, take good care of it!"
Qiao Anming kept laughing, looking very useful, until Zheng Xiaoran left, he turned around and asked Du Ruo: "Did you hear that? Even your friends said that!"
"Xiao Ran is talking nonsense, are you with her too?"
"I don't think it's nonsense, I think what she said is very reasonable!" Qiao suddenly adjusted to the ruffian mode. Du Ruo couldn't bear his appearance, so he turned around to grab the shopping bags, but a box fell out .
"What is this?"
"Airplane model!"
"What are you buying this for?"
"Give it to me for fun, he should be bored in the hospital recently."
"It's only 3 years old, he can play with models?"
"No, I can teach him!"
"..."
As a result, two hours later, such a scene appeared in the ward.
Liao sat on the bed, his right hand wrapped in gauze.
Qiao Anming moved a chair to the bed.
The two heads, one big and one small, were put together, and there was a pile of fragments of model airplanes in front of them. Someone, Qiao, was seriously teaching a three-year-old child to assemble them.
"This is the wing, two pieces, they need to be fixed on both sides of the fuselage with screws."
"What are screws?"
"A screw is what holds two parts together."
"What's that part?"
"The parts are just the pieces."
"Oh, I see..." The little guy propped his chin with his left hand, and asked again: "Where are the wings? Dad, what are the wings?"
"A wing is the wing of an airplane."
"Do planes have wings too? Is it like a chicken? Chickens have wings too... I like to eat KFC chicken wings, but my mother is not allowed to eat..."
"..."
Qiao Anming smiled wryly and couldn't. For the first time, he felt that his IQ was not enough to chat with a three-year-old boy.
Du Ruo has been sitting by the side watching, saw the dazzling light in the eyes, and also saw the unconcealable smile on the corner of Qiao Anming's mouth.
Maybe Zheng Xiaoran is right, she needs a father, and she has to give an explanation for the rest of her life.
But after interacting with Qiao Anming for a long time, he actually started to wilt him.
He needs to feed dinner and wash his face, anyway, he yells at everything: "I want Dad..."
Du Ruo was heartbroken, thinking that he had worked so hard to bring him to this age, three years was less than half a day as Qiao Anming's, maybe the blood relationship really couldn't be erased, it was soluble in water, and it had nothing to do with the length of time we spent together.
After a lot of tossing, the little guy didn't fall asleep until 9 o'clock in the evening.
Du Ruo persuaded Qiao Anming to go out and find a hotel for a night's rest, but he disagreed, and finally decided that Qiao Anming was still with him, and Du Ruo was resting in the clinic.
Maybe it was because they didn't sleep much the night before, and they had been running around for another day, so the two fell asleep quickly.
About midnight, Du Ruo was awakened by footsteps outside the door.
In the past few years, she has developed the habit of waking up in seconds with her children. She sleeps lightly. When she hears a little movement, she sits up in fright and looks around. Everything is fine. After breathing evenly, Qiao Anming also fell asleep lying on the bedside. up.
I forgot to turn off the light on the cabinet next to it, and a soft halo shrouded the father and son, and the airplane model that I just assembled in the afternoon was placed next to my pillow. The little guy rested one hand on the wing, and the other Hold Qiao Anming's fingertips with one hand.
For a moment, Du Ruo felt a pain in his heart that he couldn't breathe.
She had never dared to dream of such a warm picture before.
God knows how much Liao needs her father, and how much she hopes to have the courage to return to this man.
Du Ruo rubbed her face against the pillow to wipe away her tears, and then she got out of bed thinking about her feet, lifted the blanket and walked over.
He wanted to put the blanket on Qiao Anming's shoulders, but he woke up as soon as he moved. When he turned around and saw Du Ruo standing beside him, he was stunned for a moment: "What's wrong? Can't sleep again?"
"No..." Du Ruo didn't expect that he would wake up suddenly, his arms holding the blanket were still hanging in the air.
Only then did Qiao Anming realize that she had come to cover herself with a blanket, and stood up with a smile: "You can cover the blanket, I'm fine."
Du Ruo's nose was even more sour, but the hand holding the blanket did not withdraw.
Using the light, Qiao Anming noticed that Du Ruo's expression was not right, and the circles of his eyes were very red.
"What's wrong? Have you ever cried?"
She immediately buried her head and retracted her hands, took a sharp breath, raised her head and asked suddenly: "When are you going to transfer the patient to Chongzhou Hospital?"
Qiao Anming started arranging the transfer to another hospital the next day.
The best ward was arranged for him in Chongzhou Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, and he was officially transferred two days after an agreement with Du Ruo.
Zheng Xiaoran and Xiaobai visited the hospital again the next day, and Qiao Anming took the time to accompany Du Ruo home to pack his luggage first.
Halfway through the car, Du Ruo remembered that she ran from the pharmacy to the nursery when she received a call from Zheng Xiaoran that day. She was in such a hurry that the keys to the house were still left in the pharmacy, so she had to ask Qiao Anming to drive back.
When the colleagues in the pharmacy saw Du Ruo coming in, they all asked about the situation with concern. Du Ruo answered them one by one, but Xiaolin suddenly ran in from outside and asked Du Ruo mysteriously: "Sister Luo, tell me the truth. , Did that handsome uncle send you here?"
"No...how is it possible!" She tried to deny it, but Xiaolin's eyes were so sharp, she had already seen Qiao Anming's car with a ostentatious license plate parked at the door.
"No? Who is sitting in that car? Don't tell me it's a coincidence!"
"..." Seeing that Du Ruo couldn't hide it, he could only admit: "He came over to look, and sent me to get the key by the way!"
"So you admitted that you have a father-son relationship with him?" Xiaolin asked aggressively, and the other two colleagues in the pharmacy also followed suit.
Du Ruo could only be vague and perfunctory: "Whatever you think, I have to go, thank you for changing my shift." After speaking, he slipped out and ran across the road.
Qiao Anming got out of the car and opened the door for Du Ruo, but in the blink of an eye he saw several colleagues crowding the door of the pharmacy.
"What are they looking at?"
"They're watching you!"
While Du Ruo was packing his luggage, Qiao Anming watched from the side.
According to the plan, she will live in Chongzhou for about 1-2 weeks. She has to bring enough clothes for a change of clothes, and she blames the suitcase for not being big enough.
Fortunately, the canvas suitcase has compression space, so she pulled the zipper desperately.
Qiao Anming watched from the side and shook his head: "You are the mother of a three-year-old child, why haven't you learned how to pack things after so many years." After he finished speaking helplessly, he pulled Radu Ruo's arm, "Okay, I'll do it Bar."
Qiao Anming had no choice but to go to battle in person, and dumped all the things in the suitcase on the bed. She changed clothes, blankets, teacups and toys, and a few children's picture books... all messy things, anyway, she It will only be stuffed inside.
She really can't pack things in an orderly manner.
Qiao Anming neatly arranged the boxes one by one, with clothes and soft items on the bottom, and hard items and books on top. In such a neat way, there was still room in the overcrowded box just now.
"Is there anything else to put in there?"
"Let me think about it..." Du Ruo turned around the room again, took out a heavy photo album from the drawer of the bedside table, pressed it under the clothes, and tried to close the box quickly.
With sharp eyes, Qiao Anming stopped her.
"What album, can I see it?"
"There's nothing to see, they're all old photos of my parents..." She tried to hide it, but there was no silver 300 taels here, how could Qiao Anming let her go so easily.
"Show me." He didn't care whether Du Ruo was willing or not, anyway, he held her arm and took out the photo album.
Opening it, the first few pages are all photos of him and Du Ruo.
The photo was taken secretly by Gu Lan at that time, the scene where he and Du Ruo lived together in the villa in the suburbs of Tongcheng.
So many familiar memories.
She has a big belly, wears loose maternity clothes, and walks holding Qiao Anming's hand like a child...
He took her to the mall to buy baby products, and she stood in front of the counter holding a plush toy to tease Qiao Anming...
She fell asleep on the stone table in the garden, and he naughtily woke her up with a kiss...
……
One picture after another, the moment that freezes frame by frame.
Such a beautiful time, the warmest part of each other's memories.
Qiao Anming pinched the edge of the album and asked, "Do you still keep these photos?"
"Well, I kept it all the time, and now I know you from these photos." Du Ruo sat next to Qiao Anming, "At first I didn't understand, he didn't have the role of father in his life, but after he went to the nursery school Then I will come back and ask about my father, I don’t want to lie to him, so I will show him these photos..."
Qiao Anming was speechless for a while, and it took a few seconds before he spoke again: "I thought you would follow me and say that Dad is dead, you hate me so much, I never expected that you would show my photo, so That day at the pharmacy, when I recognized me at a glance, I couldn't believe it myself!"
Du Ruo smiled wryly: "Why should I tell you that you are dead? I don't want to lie to a child. After all, Lie is innocent. I have already felt sorry for him for letting him be born in a single-parent family, so I can't strip him anymore. Knowing the power of a father, he obviously has a father, but I lied to him that he is dead, it's not fair to him!"
So Du Ruo has never said a word against Qiao Anming in front of him.
She has always told, Dad loves him very much.
Qiao Anming was heartbroken while being moved.
"Thank you, thank you for not taking away my fatherhood."
"Don't thank me, you are his father. This is a fact that I can't change. Since I can't change it, why bother to cover it up?" Du Ruo has her own logic.
As a single mother, she can be embarrassed, work hard, feel pain behind her back and feel that there is no tomorrow, but in front of her, she is always strong, optimistic, and works hard to create a normal family environment.
"Okay, don't read it, give me the album." She went to pick the album on Qiao Anming's lap.
Qiao Anming held it down, not giving it to her, and turned backwards.
What follows are no longer photos, but reports cut from magazines and newspapers.
"The International Pharmaceutical Industry Conference hosted by the Boao Forum for Asia and co-organized by SilkAir Group was grandly held in Chongzhou. Relevant national government leaders and the founder of SilkAir, Qiao Anming, attended the opening ceremony..."
"The 2012 "China's Most Valuable Industry Top Ten Integrity Brands" ranking list was announced, and Shengan Group topped the list of top ten integrity brands in the pharmaceutical industry."
"Sunan Pharmaceutical was established by the Provincial Economic and Trade Commission as one of the 100 key cultivation and development enterprises in the province. At the same time, the unveiling ceremony of the training base of the Shengan Group of the China Institute for the Control of Pharmaceutical and Biological Products was grandly held..."
"The second cardiac charity hospital under Lanwang Foundation was completed in Beijing. The founder of Shengan, Qiao Anming, and his wife attended the opening ceremony..."
……
Turning over page by page, almost all of Qiao Anming's achievements and experiences in the past few years were included.
"Why did you cut these stories?" he asked a silly question.
Du Ruo rubbed his nose with his hands, and took a deep breath: "Because I need to know what you are doing all the time. When you get it, you always ask what my father is up to. I need to have something to answer him."
"Do you think your answer is convincing?"
"Then what do you want me to say? Say that I've been paying attention to you these years?" Du Ruo suddenly pulled out the photo album. She didn't want Qiao Anming to see it.
Whether it's the hardships or longings she has suffered all these years, she doesn't want Qiao Anming to know.
"Okay, don't look at it, pack up your things and go to the hospital."
But in the process of pulling out the photo album, she might have used too much force, and a photo in the middle fell to the ground.
Qiao Anming picked it up and was stunned after reading it.
That photo was taken after he underwent surgery for stomach bleeding many years ago.
"How do you have such a picture?"
"Gu Lan gave it to me." She thought for a while, and then denied: "No, I should have asked Gu Lan for it. At that time, my mother had just passed away, and you planned to divorce Gu Lan and leave the house. I went to Xuancheng to find me, and showed me your photo album, one of which is this photo..."
Qiao Anming was very surprised: "She went to find you? Why didn't you tell me?"
"There is nothing to say. The purpose of her going to me is to convince me not to divorce, so she showed me these photos to let me know that Sheng'an was made by you. Can't live without Sheng'an."
"And then? Then you believed what she said?"
"Otherwise, what else can I do?" Du Ruo looked up at Qiao Anming, "Although I'm not smart, I'm not stupid enough to think that my position in your heart can be equal to the whole Sheng'an, besides, Gu Lan is quite right. I can't be so selfish and let you have nothing, and I can't let you bear my reputation for the rest of my life, and my mother just passed away at that time, and I was already six months old. Could you be a little more greedy and let you divorce Gu Lan because of me giving up the whole Sheng'an?"
"Why not?" Qiao Anming's voice was hoarse: "Du Ruo, do you still remember a joke I told you, the joke about puppies and kittens.
The puppy asked the kitten to guess how many pieces of candy he had in his pocket, and the kitten asked, will you give me all of the guesses?The puppy said yes, I will give you two yuan if I guess correctly!As a result, the kitten guessed five yuan!Then, the puppy smiled and put the candy into the kitten's hand, and said, I still owe you three yuan... Just this joke, do you remember? "
Du Ruo nodded: "Of course I remember, you told me such a bad joke, and it wasn't funny, of course I remember!"
"But this is not a cold joke. I want to tell you that because I love you, I am willing to let go of all your greed."
He is rarely addicted to a relationship.
It's rare to become obsessed with a person.
It's rare to throw everything away like a lunatic and bet on an "irrational" with everything in his hands, but in the end the most rational person is Du Ruo.
"Since I am willing to divorce, I want to reconcile you with a stable future, but you deny all my efforts because of Gu Lan's few words, and then... Let me think about it, and then you went back to Tongcheng, you Just lied to me that you were going to marry Mo Youting, and I believed it like a fool..."
Qiao Anming couldn't accept this fact.
"Since you want to lie to me, why don't you lie to me for the rest of your life? Do you know how I have lived these years? You said a few days ago that you raised your son stupid for three years, and your memory is not as good as before, but I have a very good memory and remember a lot about you , For example, you are afraid of the dark, you are afraid of thunder, and you like to eat seafood and crab legs. So these years, every time there is thunder and rain, I will think of you, every time I see seafood, I will think of you... even every time I turn on and off the lights , I will always think of you... I used to only know that I cared about you, but after you disappeared, I realized that my life and my life are all imprinted by you. And what about you? You and Mo Youting lied to me, and then you left For so many years, I have never contacted me! If I hadn't met you at the pharmacy, do you plan to never see me again in this life!"
After Qiao Anming finished speaking these words in one breath, the whole body felt cold.
Should he be angry?
It's not enough to be angry!
He is heartbroken and hopeless!
Du Ruo laughed first, bitterly, and then began to cry.
"Why are you yelling at me? Are you going to settle the old score? Okay, then I'll tell you the truth! Do you remember the last time you got caught in the rain and came back wearing a men's T-shirt from me? That's yours T-shirt, when I moved out of the villa, I secretly hid one in the box. I have carried it all these years alone. When it is windy, rainy, thunder and lightning, I will hold it when I am afraid to death. Sleeping on a T-shirt, because it smells of you... Do you think I have your mobile number, and I am cruel if I don’t contact you? Then do you know how much courage it took me to not dial through every difficulty? What's your number? What's more, it's your son, whether he has a good face or personality, he looks like you in everything, and he dangles in front of my eyes all day, do you think I've had a better life these years than you? "
