Chapter 7 Destined
Chapter 7 Doomed
When Su Xiaomu woke up the next day, she found herself lying on the sofa, while Ziqi was leaning on the armrest, as if still asleep.I didn't expect that I would talk all night, but it made me feel a lot easier after I said it.

She got up slowly, trying to make her movements as light as possible, and tiptoed to the small bay window on the other side of the living room. The warm light fell on her body softly, making her stretch out comfortably. Even his eyes narrowed lazily.

How nice it is another day.

Su Xiaomu went to the kitchen to make two breakfasts. When she came out again, Ling Ziqi had already put on his coat and looked down at the mirror in the living room. He seemed to feel that she was paying attention to him and didn't look at her. Said: "My memory is generally only used in professional matters." After a pause for a while, he slowly shifted his gaze to her, and smiled again, "So don't worry, I don't remember anything I heard last night, how about You, like me, forget about that."

He stood up straight, the lines of his side face were very clear, his nose was straight, and his expression was very refreshing. There was no embarrassment or hesitation in what he said, and it was only for her own good.

Su Xiaomu was slightly taken aback, her eyes flickered, then she nodded easily, and gave an ambiguous "hmm", then set the breakfast and said with a relaxed face: "Come on, I made your favorite pancakes and soy milk, hurry up Eat it while it's hot." She also understood everything, but if she could forget it, she would have already forgotten it, and all she can do now is pretend not to remember.

Unexpectedly evading, the smile on Ling Ziqi's lips disappeared, he picked up the car keys on the top of the cabinet, followed her words, shook his head and said, "No more, I have to rush back to the hospital, and I have two appointments for patients."

Before he left, Su Xiaomu couldn't help but say, "No matter how busy you are... remember to eat on time." There was nothing else to say.

Ling Ziqi let out an "Ai" with his back turned to her, gradually retracted his fingers, and left hastily and decisively, not allowing himself to soften his heart any more.

Just like that, Su Xiaomu was in a daze for the two breakfasts all morning, but in the end she didn't eat a single bite. At noon, Su Yao called from the school, saying that the competition was over, their school won No.1, and they could come back tomorrow. The mood that had been sluggish all the time came alive, and she tidied up the inside and outside of the house with all her strength to welcome the little knight in her life back.

It's just that when she was tidying up the shoe cabinet in the entrance, she found a light purple invitation card on the top of the cabinet. She was startled, and opened it casually. It turned out to be an engagement invitation card, but the names of the bride and groom were very strange, and she didn't recognize them. .

She called Ling Ziqi's cell phone, and the nurse answered, saying that he was in a meeting, and he called back at night.

"It's only now that I know you're looking for me. What's the matter?" He leaned against the window of the office, his eyes were somewhat unpredictable.

Su Xiaomu had just finished taking a shower, her cheeks were reddened by the heat, she held the exquisite invitation card and read it again, before asking: "Well, you left something here, do you come and get it yourself or I will send it to you ?”

"What?" Ling Ziqi raised his voice slightly, as if he didn't remember such a thing, but he quickly responded, "Oh, I remembered, it's an invitation, right? No wonder I couldn't find it anyway, so I put it there for you... just right, you can help me take a look, when is it?"

Su Xiaomu glanced at it and said quickly, "Soon, it's the day after tomorrow, seven o'clock in the evening."

"The day after tomorrow?" Ling Ziqi was silent for a while, as if he was flipping through something, and then said, "I may not be able to attend the day after tomorrow, so why don't you send me a present."

"Uh, okay." At that time, Su Xiaomu thought it was a trivial matter, and it was Ziqi who opened the mouth again. There was no reason to evade it, and he readily agreed.

Two days later.

"Ms. Su Xiaomu, it's 37:[-]:[-] Beijing time, may I go out now?" Su Yao looked helplessly at his mother who was still standing in front of the mirror, and his lips curled up against her, "What are you dressing up for? It's not like you're engaged anyway..."

Su Xiaomu added an eyebrow line calmly, nodded to himself in the mirror with satisfaction, turned around and glanced at his son, and said coolly: "By analogy, anyway, the model is not what I want, so I don't need to give it to you." I bought it."

Is this worth it?Su Yao's bright eyes turned, and he immediately stepped forward, holding Su Xiaomu's arm like a little gentleman, flattering him repeatedly: "My mother is so beautiful, now I should worry about the bride."

"It's true that the wind can make the rudder!" Su Xiaomu pampered him on the forehead, pulled him with one hand, and walked out the door with a small bag in the other.

When we arrived at the venue, there was a waiter at the door who greeted us warmly.The engagement banquet was very grand, and many people were invited to attend. The degree of luxury and grandeur was beyond Su Xiaomu's expectation. She thought it was just an ordinary engagement banquet. Gui, she is not suitable for such an occasion.

And this kind of discomfort can also be hereditary, after waiting for a while, Su Yao took her hand, she bent down slightly, and heard him say: "Mom, I'm hungry, and it's so noisy here." This child She has always liked to be quiet, except that she is a little childish and self-willed in front of her, but in the eyes of outsiders, she is mature beyond her age.

It's already eight o'clock now, Su Xiaomu looked around for a week, the master of ceremonies was still adjusting the microphone, and the bride and groom only took a look from a distance. She probably left the banquet for a while, and she was a little annoyed that she didn't let Xiao Yao eat something in advance. abdomen.After thinking about it, she whispered to her son, "Why don't we go first?" Anyway, the gifts have already been delivered, and she doesn't know any of the masters, so she can retire with success.

Su Yao's eyes lit up, he nodded childishly, and said with a smile, "Okay, then you will make me noodles with fried sauce?"

Su Xiaomu also laughed along with him: "No problem!"

When she was leaving, she went to the restroom, told Su Yao to wait for her at the entrance, and asked the hotel receptionist to take care of her, but she didn't expect to lose her son in just a few minutes .

She was running around in a hurry on one side, but her son was waiting on the other side.

Su Yao raised his stubborn chin and said solemnly: "Uncle, please return it to me." His trembling body revealed his fear, no matter how precocious he was, he was only a nine-year-old child, not to mention the man in front of him was so Tall, he only reached his waist, with a cold and unreasonable face.

The man looked at Su Yao with a look of scrutiny. He was holding a platinum necklace in his hand. The pendant was a diamond-encrusted snowflake. He asked slowly, "What's your name, little friend?" He picked up this necklace near the door. The child found a chain, but... he stroked the 'SU' engraved on the back of the pendant with a thoughtful expression.

"Why should I tell you? This necklace is mine!" Su Yao glared at him with rounded eyes, like a little animal defending against the enemy, "Please return it to me, my mother is still waiting for me."

"Oh? How do you prove that this necklace is yours?" His questioning was too harsh for a child.Wang Hao on the side couldn't understand why the boss suddenly became serious with the child, but the coldness hidden in the eyes of the boss dispelled his idea of ​​helping.

When pressed for questioning, Su Yao almost blurted out: "My father gave this to my mother. I have mine because of it. My mother's surname is engraved on the back. You can take a look if you don't believe me!"

"Your father?" The man repeated in a low voice, with an imperceptible expression on his indifferent face.

That year, a girl said to him in the snowflakes all over the sky: "Look, snow is really beautiful, I like snow." Her face was flushed from the cold, but she was full of smiles.

"Isn't it too cold? And when the sun comes out, it will melt." He said inexplicably.

She picked up the snow and began to build a snowman, still smiling and said: "But it was beautiful once, wasn't it? Snowflakes are destined to meet the sun, this is its life's destiny."

Later, he was invited to attend a new product launch conference of a jewelry brand. The theme of the last series was snowflakes.

I seem to have heard her say that her birthday is coming soon, so I gave her a necklace with a snowflake pendant on my mind. In fact, there is no other meaning, I just think she will like it and it suits her very well.

She was taken aback at that time, and after accepting it, she asked him to help put it on, but when he approached, she hugged him and said, "Don't be too nice to me, be careful that I fall in love with you."

He knew she was crying, it was the second time he saw her cry, the first time was when her father passed away, she was also in his arms, crying so heartbroken.

In his impression, she has always been a girl who loves to laugh. Even when they broke up, she didn't cry, but just smiled and said: "I know, acting, there will be a day when it will be finished."

That was ten years ago.

And ten years later, a child pointed to the necklace he gave her and said it was a gift from his father to his mother.
