obsessed with love

Chapter 260 For Birthday Celebration

Qiao Anming insisted on taking Du Ruo to take a bath, but Du Ruo couldn't resist him, so he could only let him be dealt with.

It was only when he was taking a shower that he saw bruises on her waist, some places were worn out, and the places where the skin was broken by the hot water were red and swollen.

"What's going on?" Qiao Anming asked.

Du Ruo bit his gums and rolled his eyes at him: "Ask me? Ask your dresser."

Only then did Qiao Anming remember that there were raised carved shelves on both sides of the mirror, and the edge of the shelf just touched Du Ruo's waist. It was not unusual for the injury to be so intense just now.

"Sorry, why didn't you tell me then?"

"What should I say? You look crazy." Du Ruo really couldn't connect the violent Qiao Anming just now with the gentle and elegant man in front of him now.

"Okay, okay, go out, I'll wash it myself!" She wrapped herself in a bath towel, and pushed Qiao Anming out.

After taking a bath for half an hour, Du Ruo stood under Huasa thinking about what Qiao Anming said just now.

It's not impossible for him to want her to move to Chongzhou with her, but what about after moving?With what identity and what position did she enter Qiao's house?

She wasn't waiting for Qiao Anming's promise, she was afraid that it would be inappropriate for her to rush into the room like this.

Just when Du Ruo was struggling, Qiao Anming knocked on the door outside: "Du Ruo, are you okay? I have your phone number!"

She went out wrapped in Qiao Anming's nightgown.

Qiao Anming was holding his mobile phone with a delicate expression on his face.

She asked, "Whose?"

"Mo Youting!"

Du Ruo was taken aback, and looked at the screen. Qiao Anming had already connected the call, and the number displayed was an international call.

"Hello..." She said with a voice, God knows she couldn't remember the last time she talked with Mo Youting on the phone.

The other party seemed to be stunned for a while: "Hello..."

Each of them became silent, and Qiao Anming folded his arms and looked at Du Ruo beside him. Du Ruo was so taken aback by him, he turned around and walked to the balcony with his mobile phone.

"That... why did you call me suddenly, what's the matter?"

"Where are you?" First Young Master Mo answered irrelevantly.

Du Ruo looked back at Qiao Anming who was in a daze in the living room, and told the truth: "I'm in Chongzhou."

"Where is Qiao Anming?"

"Um…"

"Oh…"

Then there was a long silence, and Du Ruo couldn't take it anymore: "Mo Youting, international calls are very expensive, right? Why are you looking for me?"

"I saw the ring I gave you before in the flower pot on the windowsill of my dormitory. What's the matter? You sent the ring?"

"No, it's Xiaoran. She just went to England to play, so I let her take it with her." Du Ruo almost forgot about the ring, her tone was soothing, but she was scolding Zheng Xiaoran in her heart. Reliable, to put tens of thousands of diamond rings in a flower pot!
Mo Youting also seemed surprised by this answer: "Zheng Xiaoran has been to London, is she on a business trip?"

"I don't know, you can ask her yourself." Du Ruo didn't want to answer this question for Xiao Ran, because she was not sure whether Xiao Ran would like to let Mo Youting know that she had been to London.

Mo Youting didn't speak again.

Du Ruo felt embarrassed to breathe, and asked after a few minutes: "Well...Is there anything else? Just hang up if there is nothing else."

"Okay, goodbye." Mo Youting simply cut off the call. It was 12:[-] noon in London time, and he was standing at the window of the apartment dormitory looking out.

November is winter in the UK, but in this rainy city, there was sunshine that day. Although it was not bright, you could clearly see the thin sunlight piercing through the clouds.

Lifting up the ring in his hand, the sunlight refracts from all sections of the diamond, casting colorful marks on the window sill.

She said "By the way", she said that she was at Qiao Anming's place, it seemed that there was no relationship between him and her after all, it was the same three years ago, and it will be the same three years later.

After going around in circles, she still returned to the man.

Mo Youting took back the diamond ring and held it together with sunshine and love.

Qiao Anming walked up behind Du Ruo, wrapping his arms around her waist.

"He went to England?"

"Well, go to study catering management. His father hopes that he can come back and inherit the Mo family."

"It's a good suggestion. Three years of living abroad should change him a lot." Qiao Anming smiled and turned Du Ruo to face himself: "Actually, he treats you very well. I used to regard him as a rival in love, especially It was when you told me you were going to marry him that I was so mad."

Du Ruo sneered: "Aren't you always very confident? Is there anyone else who can make you mad?"

"Well, there aren't many people who can make me angry, but his conditions are really good, I'm even jealous, not to mention that you have received a marriage certificate!" Qiao Anming looked worried, Du Ruo was anxious, and tried to explain: " It's a fake marriage, it's just to get a registered residence."

"Haha... I'm just joking, but you're serious." The man's face turned so fast that Du Ruo was about to faint.

"Don't mention the past, can you?"

"Okay, don't mention it."

"Well, you can't bear a grudge against Mo Youting. He helped me over and over again. He was by my side when I was in the most difficult time, and he even saved your son's life." Du Ruo seemed to want to help Mo You. After the court was rehabilitated, Qiao Anming's expression became serious again: "It's okay not to mention the past, but I will remember his kindness to you, every yard counts for every yard, and I will repay him when I have a chance!"

"I can't repay you." Du Ruo took a deep breath and turned to look at the night sky. The night sky was pitch black without a single star.

"Qiao Anming, as I said before, I have owed too many people in my life, but the one who owes the most is Mo Youting."

When she borrowed money from Mo Youting before, she thought about it, she didn't want to owe this man too much, she could borrow money, but she couldn't do anything else, because if she borrowed it, she would pay it back, but in the end, she still owed him so much.

"It's okay not to mention it before, go back to your room, you dare to come up to the balcony wearing a bathrobe, and be careful not to catch a cold." Qiao Anming put his arm around Du Ruo's shoulder, interrupting her thoughts.

The two slept on the same pillow.

Before going to bed, Du Ruo took Qiao Anming's temperature again, and it had dropped to 38.2.
She breathed a sigh of relief: "Go to bed early, and taking another medicine tomorrow morning should completely reduce the fever."

"Well, good." Qiao Anming was so obedient, but in the next second, his arm was pillowed under Du Ruo's neck, and Du Ruo was wrapped around him as soon as he retracted it.

"What are you doing?"

"Hold you and sleep!"

"..." Du Ruo struggled a few times, she was not used to being so close to him yet.

Qiao Anming didn't care, closed her eyes and pressed her restless head to her chest: "Don't move around, sleep!"

"But it's uncomfortable to sleep on your arms like this!"

"Be patient, I am a patient!"

"..." What kind of logic is this, "No, I won't be able to sleep like this."

"But I won't be able to sleep otherwise!"

"Old Joe!!!" Du Ruo lifted his head from his chest with great effort, and shouted at him dissatisfied.

Qiao Anming's heart visibly trembled, what a gentle title, he hadn't heard it for so long that his heart beat faster, and hot air rose from his lower abdomen again.

When Du Ruo saw his eyes getting hotter, she knew that she was in trouble again, and the situation was not good, so she quickly turned over in his arms, gave him a back, and pretended to sleep obediently.

But it's too late, how could he let her go...

"Qiao Anming, you still have a fever..."

"I know, so I'm trying to find a way to reduce the fever..." Qiao Anming teased shamelessly, biting Du Ruo's earlobe secretly.

She was made short of breath, and shouted angrily, "Old Qiao, go to sleep, stop making trouble." But the apparently normal sentence abruptly turned into coquettish anger.

"Don't sleep, I slept too much during the day."

"But I want to sleep, very sleepy."

"It's okay, you sleep, leave it to me..."

"No, you are sick, do you still need your body?"

"Look at me?"

"..."

Du Ruo felt that he was on a thief's boat, why had he never found out that he was so shameless before! ! !
……

The game between adults is hearty.

In the end, Qiao Anming hugged Du Ruo and fell on the bed, calmed his breath, kissed Du Ruo's forehead, and the first sentence was: "I know you hate my mother, but can you forgive her as much as possible for me?"

"Who said I hated your mother? I hated it before, but I don't hate it now." Du Ruo pressed her face to his chest, her heart beating clearly.

"Why don't you hate it now?"

"Because I suddenly realized that I love the same man as her..."

It's really a grinding thing, Qiao Anming can't wait to turn over again.

"Who taught you to speak like that?"

"You are not satisfied with this answer?"

"Satisfied, and extremely unexpected." Qiao Anming smiled, and the grief over Ren Peiyin's death dissipated a little.

Du Ruo climbed onto his neck: "Your mother came to me before and said something to me, which made me change my opinion of her."

"Have you seen it?" Another surprise, "When?"

"Just a few days before she left, it was her last words. Without telling you, she asked Xiao Zhang to take me to the hospital."

"Then what did she say?"

"Well..." Du Ruo acted obediently and shook his head: "Qiao Anming, I won't talk about this, it's a secret between me and your mother."

Everyone has left, she doesn't want to say no to Qiao Anming anymore, not to mention that she will only increase Qiao Anming's sadness and apology.

Qiao Anming respected her and didn't ask any further questions. He just kissed her hair and said, "Don't call me by my first and last name. Call me Old Qiao. I prefer to hear this name."

"..." Du Ruo frowned, "Old Qiao, you are really worthy of the word "Old Qiao" at your age."

"Am I really old?"

"Well, of course, you see that you have fine lines, I'll look for it again, is there any white hair on the sideburns!" Du Ruo was about to pull his head jokingly.

Qiao Anming held her down: "It is true that the white hair is gone, and the fine lines should be gone, but in some respects, it should not be old."

"Some aspect of what?" Du Ruo couldn't keep up with his rhythm again.

Qiao Anming smirked and put his hand on her waist again: "Don't you understand? It refers to these aspects."

Only then did Du Ruo come to his senses: "Could you calm down a bit?" While talking, he shrank to the other side of the bed.

Qiao Anming smiled and pulled back Du Ruo who had shrunk away, hugged her again, put his chin on the top of her head, and wrapped his fingers around her disobedient hair.

"I'm kidding, why are you hiding? Tell me, why did you cut your hair so short when it was fine before?"

"Hair... because I don't have time."

"What does cutting your hair have to do with time?"

"Of course it has something to do with it. My hair is long, so it's more troublesome to wash it, and my hair is thicker. I have to blow it for a long time after washing it. At that time, I went to work during the day and brought it back at night. I was too busy at all. How could I have time to blow my hair?" , so I simply cut it.”

Du Ruo finished explaining, and playfully tugged at her curly short hair: "It grew a little when you saw me, and it was cut shorter before."

"After that, no more cuts are allowed, just keep it."

"No, it's really troublesome to blow dry your hair."

"If you find it troublesome, I will blow it for you every time after washing your hair..."

"In the future..."

What a wonderful "later".

"Okay, you mean what you say, don't patronize your work when I tell you to blow it!"

"Of course not, I don't care when I say something!" Qiao Anming kissed her forehead again, and murmured: "But I want you to give me this chance to blow your hair for you in the future. Also, the hair I gave you before Where's the hairpin? Do you still have it?"

"Keep it, and put it away after you cut it short."

"Then wear it after you grow your hair long."

"Well, good." Du Ruo shrank into his arms again, her eyes full of tenderness, "Why did you suddenly think of buying me a hairpin at that time?"

"I really can't think of what to give you. There is an antique shop in the hotel where I was staying on a business trip. When I saw this hairpin, I thought it was suitable for you, so I bought it. I didn't think too much about it."

"Then do you know what hairpins represent?"

"What do you mean?" Qiao Anming asked.

Du Ruo just wanted to tell him, but finally swallowed the answer: "Well, don't say it, I will tell you later!"

She wants to have that opportunity.

Qiao Anming didn't ask too many questions, just said: "Move to Chongzhou. As soon as possible..."

Upon hearing this, Du Ruo's tone suddenly became a little cold: "It's not that good, Gu Lan has been away for a few months, and your mother just passed away. If I come to Chongzhou so soon, it will affect your reputation."

"I don't care about that."

"But I have to care for you! Old Qiao, you are a public figure, and those media and reporters have no integrity now. As long as I make an appearance, believe it or not, they will write you in a bad way!" Du Ruo said for Qiao Anming considered that, as the person in power in Shengan, his every move was related to the interests of all employees.

But Qiao Anming sneered: "I don't care how ugly it is. You have been with me for three years, and finally our family is reunited. I don't want to be affected by outsiders. Besides, I don't need to be afraid, and you don't need to. Everything With me, I will arrange it!"

Xiao Zhang picked him up the next day.

Qiao Anming's fever has also basically subsided, and his spirit has recovered a little, but his complexion is still not good.

Du Ruo was about to take care of Qiao Anming at the same time.

"Why don't you go back to the suburbs at night." Qiao Anming walked into the kitchen, where Du Ruo was washing the dishes.

What he called the suburban area was actually Qiao's house.

Du Ruo felt that it was inconvenient: "It's not good to go back there with you now."

"But there are servants over there who can do housework, you don't need to work so hard."

"I don't care. Besides, it's hard work." Du Ruo smiled and wiped the cleaned dishes with a rag one by one.

Qiao Anming knew that she had concerns, so he followed her.

"Then I'll help you." As he spoke, he wanted to roll up his sleeves to help Du Ruo.

Du Ruo quickly refused: "You are just sick, so let's play with you outside for a while. Besides, do you know how to wash the dishes? You will smash the dishes!"

She smiled and pushed Qiao Anming out, but Qiao Anming had no choice but to look for it.

Soon there was the sound of father and son fighting in the living room.

"Father, it will change when you get it, look..."

"It's amazing, who bought you the Transformers?"

"This is not a Transformer, this is an armored warrior. Uncle Peng bought it! Look, there is also a summoner!"

The little guy was running around the living room with a new toy, Qiao Anming sat on the sofa and laughed, and Du Ruo wiped the dishes in the kitchen.

The most ordinary afternoon, a room of joy.

It started to clear up in the afternoon with plenty of sunshine.

Qiao Anming also felt a lot more relaxed, so he proposed to take Du Ruohe to go shopping in the street.

There are not many people on the street because it is not a weekend, but the parent-child center in the business district is full of children, carousels and small trains, and the laughter of children is everywhere.

When he got up and clamored to ride on the wooden horse, Qiao Anming carried him up.

The music sounded, the wooden horse carried up and down, the little guy giggled, this was his first time riding on a wooden horse, so the excitement was written all over his face.

Du Ruo stood next to the wooden horse, using his mobile phone to take pictures, Qiao Anming looked at Du Ruo's smiling side face, and suddenly felt that his empty life was finally full.

"Du Ruo, thank you..."

"What?" She turned around and looked at Qiao Anming strangely: "Thank you all of a sudden, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just want to say thank you, thank you for giving birth to your baby." He put his arm around Du Ruo's shoulders in the crowd, "I always thought that I would never have a child in this life, but I never thought that I would have a baby at this age." You made it up."

"You told me before that you don't like children."

"I can't say I don't like it, it's just that it doesn't matter, but that was in the past, and now I feel that life is simply a miracle. Now that I look so much like me, I can't believe it every time he calls me dad..."

power, wealth, status...

He has struggled for half a lifetime, and he has so many things in his hands, but only then did he admit that these are just fleeting clouds, far less than having a person he loves, giving birth to a child who will continue his life, and being together as a family. , Ordinary, also happy.

Because of Liao Lie's strong request and instigation, the three of them ate KFC for dinner.

Du Ruo disapproved because it was junk food, but the little guy was so obsessed with KFC, he wanted to eat it whenever he got the chance.

"It's a rare occasion, so let's rely on him." Qiao Anming pleaded for mercy with his face.

Du Ruo frowned: "Old Qiao, why didn't I see that you would spoil children?"

"Actually, I didn't notice it before, but you have to get used to it in the future!"

But how did Du Ruo get used to it? Qiao Anming's appearance of being used to children surprised her so much. He is such a one-sided and always serious person, and he has no stand or confidence in front of him.

After getting out of KFC, the three of them walked back to the apartment.

Liao ate KFC contentedly, and happily, he grabbed Qiao Anming and Du Ruo's hands and jumped up and down the road.

"Mom, will Dad never leave in the future? Have you been with him all this time?"

"Then you answer Mom first, do you like Dad?"

"Like it."

"why?"

"Because Dad will bring some KFC..."

"..."

"Hahaha..." Qiao Anming laughed heartily, bent down and hugged her.

Du Ruo rolled his eyes: "One meal of KFC bought my son who has worked so hard to raise for three years, old Joe, it's too cheap for you!"

"Then what do you want from me? How about you have another one, and I will make up for you again?"

"..." Du Ruo gritted his teeth, "It's getting more and more shameless, I can't say no to you."

"Hahaha...it's over, let's go, let's go home..."

In the sunset, the three figures look like a family.

let's go home...

After returning home, Qiao Anming played with him for a while. The little guy was so excited that he ran around the room, going upstairs and downstairs for a while.

In a blink of an eye, he was sweating all over, Du Ruo grabbed him and said, "Don't be crazy, you should catch a cold again after sweating so much."

"No, I'm going to play with Dad when I'm done."

"Let's play tomorrow. Mom will help you take a bath and then we'll go to bed. Let Dad go to bed earlier. Dad just had a fever." Du Ruo coaxed the little guy. Don't go, we will play with you tomorrow."

"Okay, Dad will accompany you tomorrow."

After taking a bath, the little guy fell asleep after a little coaxing.

It's no wonder I'm not tired if I'm crazy like this during the day.

Du Ruo tucked in the quilt for him, and took the pajamas to take a shower. When she walked out of the bedroom, she saw that the light in the attic workshop was on, so she went up.

Qiao Anming was sitting behind the desk, next to the turned on computer, but holding the old photo album in his hand.

He should be thinking of Ren Peiyin again, Du Ruo felt a little sad for Qiao Anming.

"Old Joe, why haven't you rested yet?"

"Not sleepy, so I came up to deal with some work." He pulled Du Ruo to his side and asked, "Did you fall asleep?"

"Well, I was too tired from playing during the day, so I fell asleep soon. Don't look at these, take a bath early and rest."

"Okay..." Qiao Anming put away the photo album and was about to stand up when Du Ruo suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, I have something for you to see." She took out a pendant from the pocket of her pajamas, and a long life lock inlaid with gold and jade hung down from the red silk thread.

"I saw it on his neck when I took a bath just now, where did it come from?"

Qiao Anming was taken aback for a moment, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.

"My mother bought it for him."

"Your mother?"

"Well, my mother bought it when she went to Hotan, Xinjiang the year before last. I haven't found you yet. My mother said that she can buy it and put it at home. One day she will see her grandson as a gift." Qiao Anming said His eyes drooped down.

Du Ruo felt a little sorry: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned this."

"It doesn't matter. My mother told me when she was diagnosed with advanced gastric cancer. She said that she might not have the fate to see the child in this life, but God blessed her. She stayed with the hospital in the last days. So Du Ruo, I should thank you on behalf of my mother..."

"No need." Du Ruo knelt down and held Qiao Anming's hand, "I know it's your son, he's the blood of the Qiao family. I never tried to deny this, and besides, I saw your mother before she died. The fate she reconciled with"

"Yeah, fate..." Qiao Anming smiled wryly: "I didn't believe in fate before, but when I saw you at Limin Pharmacy that night, I had to believe it. It seems that fate is not shallow after my mother got married. , in the last few days, although she was suffering physically, I know that she was happy in her heart..."

Liao sent the old lady through the last part of her life.

As the Buddha said: All dharmas are born by fate, all are fate.

That night Du Ruo brought the master bedroom on the first floor with him.

Qiao Anming went to the loft to work for two hours. He didn't take a shower until early in the morning. After taking a shower, he tossed and turned on the bed, unable to sleep, and slipped to the first floor on tiptoe.

Du Ruo had fallen asleep a long time ago, and was woken abruptly by him.

"Hey, baby...you'll wake up when you wake up." She pushed his hand that kept digging into her pajamas drowsily.

Qiao Anming was not fooled: "It's okay, I'll take it easy..."

Shameless and consummate!

Exhausted from joy, Qiao Anming hugged Du Ruo from behind and kissed lightly.

"Isn't it your birthday soon?"

"Yes, next month, my third birthday."

"Then let's go back to Tongcheng. Take it back to Tongcheng to have a look. I'll celebrate his birthday."

"it is good…"

Qiao Anming didn't invite any of his friends or relatives to the birthday party.

The three of them drove back to Tongcheng, and drove directly to the villa with a carousel on the outskirts.

A few days ago, he had arranged for housekeeping staff to come and clean the villa, and the Trojan horse had been debugged.

Everything was ready, he wanted to take the mother and son to spend a day and night in this villa that only belonged to them.

Qiao Anming didn't go out for dinner, so Qiao Anming suggested to buy vegetables to cook at home.

The three of them drove to a nearby supermarket, got up and sat in the small trolley, Qiao Anming pushed it, and Du Ruo followed, picking and choosing from the shelves all the way.

Because no one lives in the villa for a long time, there is nothing in the kitchen.

Everything from oil, salt, sauce and vinegar to ingredients like rice needed to be repurchased, so the three of them spent more than an hour in the supermarket, finally bought everything, and pushed a cart full of things back.

After Du Ruo arrived at the villa, she changed into home clothes and hid in the kitchen.

Qiao Anming played with her in the garden.

Although it was only eaten by three people, it was my third birthday anyway, so Du Ruo spent a lot of time cooking a table full of dishes.

She had just come out of the bathroom after a shower when the doorbell rang.

Opening the door, there was a strange boy standing at the door, holding a cake in one hand and a bouquet of flowers in the other.

"Excuse me, is this Miss Du? This is the cake and roses ordered by Mr. Qiao."

Du Ruo just remembered that she actually forgot to buy a cake.

"Thank you." She smiled and took the cake and flowers, and signed the younger brother's receipt.

"Excuse me, is this Miss Du? This is the cake and roses ordered by Mr. Qiao."

Du Ruo just remembered that she actually forgot to buy a cake.

"Thank you." She smiled and took the cake and flowers, and signed the younger brother's receipt.

The flower is a fine New Zealand rose. The branches and leaves have not been pruned, and the lower end is only wrapped in the most common kraft paper, but the color is rich and bright, so the simple packaging brings out her beauty.

Du Ruo tore off the kraft paper, put the flowers into the crystal vase, and looked at the dishes and exquisite cakes on the table next to him, and suddenly felt that the scene was a bit grand.

Hmm... She has to go in and change clothes. The home clothes on her body are too sorry for such beautiful flowers and cakes.
