Chapter 82 You Are an Addiction You Can't Quit

But at the moment in the shopping mall, Luo Xin was picking out a diamond ring, Lu Zhengnan seemed to be by his side, but his eyes were absent-minded.

"Zhengnan, do you think this looks good?" Luo Xin raised her ring finger to ask for his opinion, and he just glanced at it lightly: "Well, as long as you like it."

Luo Xin was a little disappointed.Lu Zhengnan has always had this attitude towards her, and he can't say bad things about it. He will buy whatever she wants, for example, the X6 outside. She said that once she needs a car to travel here, he will directly ask someone to take it. She went to the dealership to pick it up.

Moreover, the reason why she came to the ancient city was also because he called and said that he wanted to cultivate a relationship at a close distance.

However, on weekdays, he was always so indifferent, and even now he started to choose rings and engagement banquets. There was never even holding hands between them, let alone intimacy.

At this time, the shopping guide brought several other rings, and Luo Xin's eyes were attracted, and he couldn't think about other things.Anyway, as long as this man gives her a luxurious life, coupled with his own prominent background and outstanding talents, why should she care so much, that's enough.

Lu Zhengnan looked coldly at Luo Xin's obsessed look when picking out the jewelry, and then thought of Ye Chuxiao, if she was, she would definitely not care about the diamond on the ring, but how many carats it was.

The more you compare, the more bored you become. At this moment, Luo Xin inadvertently repeated the old saying: "When are we going to get the certificate?"

Lu Zhengnan felt restless, and turned his face to the other side: "Wait a little longer, there is no rush."

Luo Xin instinctively wanted to say "There's no rush for the wedding to be held soon", but in the end she didn't dare and swallowed the words back.

"You pick it first, my feet are a little sore, go sit over there for a while." After speaking, Lu Zhengnan walked away, leaving a card for Luo Xin.

She scratched the edge of the card with her long nails, and after a moment, she raised her face and smiled at the shopping guide: "Bring some more matching jewelry, all of which are the best."

After picking for an hour or two, Luo Xin left contentedly with the spoils. When she returned, she was still driving Lu Zhengnan to Shidu Garden, and then returned to the hotel by herself.

After coming here for so long, Lu Zhengnan never invited her upstairs, and she also tentatively asked where she would live after getting married, but he only said that he would look at it when the time came.

Lu Zhengnan went back to the apartment alone, nestled on the sofa and smoked a cigarette, the dark twilight seeped in, enveloped him, and was silent.

I'm about to get married, and a stranger who doesn't love or care about each other.He smiled wryly and exhaled a smoke ring.

I really want Chu Xiao, as long as there is a gap, her shadow will break into his heart, and she can't stop it.

Addiction, this is an addiction, I'm afraid I won't be able to quit it in this life.

Throwing away the cigarette butt, he got up and went to the kitchen. He wanted to make himself a bowl of vinegar noodle soup that she had made back then, but he found that he couldn't do it clumsily when it seemed so simple. Boil the water.

He stood frustrated in the kitchen, dazed.Would everything be wrong without her?Then there is still such a long life in the future, what should I do?
Slowly turning around and walking back to the living room, he suddenly wanted to see her, even if it was just to take a look at her from afar.

As soon as he thought about it, he couldn't wait any longer, he immediately took his coat and went out, took a taxi and went straight to Yunshui Pavilion.

Since that night, he has never been here again. As soon as he entered the door, the security guard came over and told him with some hesitation that Ye Chuxiao seldom came back recently, and he only came back today in the morning, and left before noon.

Lu Zhengnan was taken aback for a moment, thanked him with a smile, and felt even more dismayed.

The security guard tactfully left, and he walked slowly half a circle around the house, and finally entered the house through the back door.

Consider it the last peek.he told himself.

When he went upstairs to the bedroom, he sat on the edge of the bed, looked at the neatly folded pajamas beside the pillow, couldn't help stroking it with his fingertips, and then suddenly retracted it.

This really looks like a pervert.He smiled slightly, and leaned against the bedside to smoke a cigarette, but he was afraid of leaving the smell of smoke, so he had to give up.

Sitting like this, he was actually sleepy, or maybe, in places with her breath, he was always particularly easy to relax, his body gradually slid down, and he fell asleep with his face buried in the pillow.

Unexpectedly, that night, Ye Chuxiao returned to Yunshui Pavilion.

She and Monica came to the studio after shopping, and wanted to work overtime, but found that the USB flash drive with the data in it was missing. Finally, she remembered that she left it at home while changing clothes in the morning, so she hurried back to pick it up.

All the way upstairs, she opened the bedroom door and was about to go in, when she suddenly saw the person on the bed, her footsteps froze...

After standing at the door for a while, she walked straight to the bed: "Why are you here again?"

Lu Zhengnan half-opened his eyes in a daze. When he saw her, he thought he was still in a dream. He took her hand in a daze, looked at her ring finger, and murmured, "Where's the ring? Why don't you wear the one I gave you?" ring?"

Ye Chuxiao felt a stabbing pain in her heart, she threw off his hand suddenly, and asked coldly: "Lu Zhengnan, is it interesting for you to pretend to be crazy like this?"

He was startled, and only then did he really wake up. When he realized the current situation, he was at a loss for what to do. He wanted to explain, but he was tongue-tied.

Ye Chuxiao looked down at him, there was no warmth in her jet-black pupils, and seeing him panicked, she hurriedly sat up and wanted to leave.But she suddenly turned around and went to the table to take away the USB flash drive that was left behind, then turned her back to him like that, looked out the window and smiled: "Since you like this place, you can move back here."

Lu Zhengnan was taken aback for a moment, he couldn't believe what he heard, deep down in his heart, there was a hint of anticipation.

But what she said next made his heart sink to the bottom: "Anyway, I will leave this city soon."

"Where are you going?" he asked anxiously.

She didn't answer, and went straight to the door.

"Chu Xiao." He rushed up to grab her, and forced her body to face him, his eyes were anxious: "Don't go."

"And then?" She raised her eyebrows: "Stay in this house, wait for you to marry someone else, and then come back to me occasionally?"

Lu Zhengnan's hand slipped from her shoulder feebly: "I'm sorry."

"You don't have to say I'm sorry, on the contrary, I should say thank you, thank you for using Yunshui Pavilion to help me win Mi Lier's lawsuit." Ye Chuxiao smiled: "But the right to use it should be returned to you. It's useless."

After finishing speaking, she went out with her bag, walked to the corner of the stairs, and turned her head again: "However, since I promised, I will wait until after attending your wedding. Don't forget to send me an invitation card then."

With her back, she left freely without looking at him again, and just disappeared from his sight.

It wasn't until she got out of the Yunshui Pavilion and walked on the winding mountain road that her footsteps gradually slowed down. Looking at the quiet mountains in the night, she bit her lips tightly, not allowing the slightest moisture to appear in her eyes.

There is no need to be vulnerable, people in this world are not in the same world, so it's good to go back to their own worlds.

He was going to get married, and she went to give her blessing, not magnanimously, but it was over.

When I returned to the studio, Monica was still there, and when I saw her, I blamed her: "Why don't you sleep at home so late and come back tomorrow morning, how unsafe is the road?"

Ye Chuxiao smiled, walked to her side, lowered her eyelids and said in a low voice, "Teacher, I've made up my mind and I'll go back to Guangzhou with you."

Monica was taken aback, and asked, "Why did you suddenly make a decision?"

"I just think it's time to go." Ye Chuxiao sighed softly, "But I still have a child with me, so I'm afraid I'll cause you trouble."

"What do you mean?" Monica glared at her, "I really like rice grains, not to mention that I've been alone for so many years, and when you go, I'm more lively."

Ye Chuxiao gratefully wanted to say "thank you" again, but was stopped by Monica: "Don't say anything, you will live a good life in the future, it will be my reward."

After she finished speaking, she buried her head in the design drawing again. Ye Chuxiao smiled, put down her things, and studied with her...

Two days later, Mi Lier's school was on winter vacation. For the convenience of their mother and daughter, Monica specially arranged a room for them next to her hotel room, and brought Mi Lier to the studio to play during the day.

Mi Lier is very obedient. Seeing that Ye Chuxiao and Monica are busy, she plays games or draws obediently by herself, and sometimes brings them water and biscuits. Monica has no children herself, so she loves her even more.

This afternoon, Ye Chuxiao went to the construction site, because it was inconvenient to bring Mi Lier, so she had to stay with Monica, but it happened that Mr. Fang made an appointment with two friends and wanted to meet with Monica to talk about future cooperation.

Unable to refuse again and again, Monica simply took Mi Lier to the appointment, but she never thought that she would run into Qi Zhen at the door of the private room.

"Uncle." Mi Lier called him with a smile, and he immediately let the people around him go first, came over and hugged her, and kissed her on the face: "Why are you here?"

"Mother Mo brought me here." Mi Lier couldn't remember Monica's English name, so she always called her Mother Mo.

Monica, who had been standing by the side without speaking, introduced herself: "I am Chuxiao's teacher." She could tell that this person had an extraordinary closeness to Mi Lier.

"I belong to Mi Lier..." He paused, turned his head to avoid Mi Lier's gaze, and said in a low voice, almost silently: "...Dad."

At that moment, Monica couldn't help but sigh in her heart. In this emotional entanglement, I'm afraid that no one involved will feel so good.

At this time, the door of the private room opened, and Mr. Fang came out to greet her. Monica held out her hand to Mi Lier: "Then let's go in first."

Qi Zhen didn't let go: "Let me stay with her for a while, I'll send her back later."

After all, the other party is the biological father of the child, Monica couldn't refuse directly, so she just smiled: "It's better to tell Chu Xiao first."

He was slightly startled, then nodded, and dialed the phone to Ye Chuxiao...

When Ye Chuxiao picked it up, it turned out to be Qi Zhen's voice, and he wanted to hang up. He shouted urgently: "Wait, I really need you."

Then she stopped and asked coldly, "What are you doing?"

Qi Zhen then recounted the current situation, with a pleading tone in his tone: "I'll just stay with her for a while, okay?"

Ye Chuxiao remained silent.

"Really just for a while," Qi Zhen sighed deeply: "I have never accompanied her outside of school, even if I only accompany her to the nearby McDonald's, eat a hamburger and drink a Coke, let me accompany her, I just want to be with her."

The other end was silent for a long time, and finally said "um", Qi Zhen said thank you in surprise, and then handed the phone to Monica for confirmation.

"Teacher," Ye Chuxiao said in a low voice, "Tell him to send the rice grains back."

Monica agreed with a sigh, and Qizhen repeatedly asked him to take Mi Lier away.

Qi Zhen went out with Mi Li'er in his arms, pointed to the intersection ahead and asked, "Look, baby, there's KFC over there, McDonald's over here, and Pizza Hut on the road in between. Where are you going?"

Mi Li'er was really tilting her head and thinking in a daze, she was so cute that he couldn't help kissing again and again.

In the end, Qi Zhen helped her choose Pizza Hut, and led her to pick up the salad buffet. Watching him build a tower of fruits layer by layer, she happily danced and clapped beside her: "Uncle, you are awesome, you are the best!" .”

Any praise in his previous life could not be compared with this time. His daughter's admiration filled him with pride.

When he returned to his seat, he hugged her on his lap, fed her little by little, and listened to her childish words. He felt so happy, but worried that time was passing so fast.

After a meal, it was time to send her back home. Sitting in the car, he endured and endured, but finally he couldn't help asking Mi Li'er: "Do you still want to stay with uncle?"

"I think so." Mi Lier nodded with a crooked smile.

Qi Zhen looked at her, suddenly made a decision in his heart, turned the car around...

At this moment, Monica in the hotel became more and more anxious. It had been so long and the child hadn't been sent back yet, so I don't know what happened.Finding an excuse to leave, she called Ye Chuxiao.

Ye Chuxiao became anxious when she heard that, so she hurriedly called Qi Zhen.

However, it was turned off.

Ye Chuxiao was stunned when he heard the notification tone.

She continued to dial many times without giving up, but still got the same result, and she became more and more panicked.

Will he take this opportunity to take the child away?When this thought flashed in her mind, her hands and feet were suddenly cold...

With trembling fingertips, she subconsciously wanted to call Lu Zhengnan, but stopped when she pressed the last number, and finally called Chen Ze.

When Chen Ze heard what happened from her, he was also silent, and after a while he comforted her: "No, you have been sentenced to custody. If he really did this, it would be considered illegal. He won't understand this." .”

"Where did the rice grains go?" Ye Chuxiao was in a state of panic, "Do you know where Qi Zhen lives? Can you take me to find him?"

But Chen Ze was also in a dilemma. Qi Zhen hadn't contacted him since the last lawsuit. He also went to the door to look for him, but no matter how hard he rang the doorbell, no one responded.

But with a glimmer of hope, he still replied: "Okay, I'll take you to find it."

However, when they did find Qi Zhen's residence, the door knocked open, and a stranger came out, saying that the previous resident had already moved out.

Ye Chuxiao almost collapsed, his face was already pale.

"Don't worry." Chen Ze hurriedly supported her to sit on the bench outside: "I'll call and find someone to ask for you."

Ye Chuxiao said thank you weakly, but his teeth trembled uncontrollably.

At this time Monica also rushed over, seeing this situation, she was filled with guilt: "I'm sorry, I really shouldn't let him take Mi Lier away."

"Teacher, I don't blame you." Ye Chuxiao shook his head, his eyes filled with regret: "I shouldn't have softened my heart at that time, and I shouldn't have softened my heart at all for people like him!"

Monica hugged her pitifully and patted her on the back lightly.Chen Ze watched from the side, also with a heavy heart, flipping through the phone book, looking for all the people who knew Qi Zhen, and calling them one by one to inquire.

However, more than half an hour passed, and almost all the phone calls were made, but there was still no result.

In the end, Chen Ze quietly glanced at Ye Chuxiao, walked a little further, and called the person who seemed least likely to know about Qi Zhen's whereabouts——Lu Zhengnan.

Lu Zhengnan was surprised when he received the call: "Why did you call me to find Qi Zhen? What happened?"

Chen Ze lowered his voice and briefly explained the matter. He over there immediately became anxious: "How could this be? Chu Xiao, where is Chu Xiao now?"

Chen Ze reported the address, Lu Zhengnan only replied "I'll be right over", and hung up the phone.

He rushed downstairs and got into the Land Rover that hadn't been driven for a long time. When he stepped on the accelerator, the wound hurt, but he didn't care about it at all, and sped away.

Along the way, he was very anxious, Mi Lier was Ye Chuxiao's Achilles' heel, she could grit her teeth to bear any blow, but this was the only one she couldn't, he was afraid that she would not be able to hold on...

And just as Lu Zhengnan was rushing here, Ye Chuxiao, who had been calling Qizhen's cell phone hopelessly, was suddenly overjoyed - the call was connected.

"What on earth are you trying to do?" She couldn't stop shouting, "Where did you take Mi Lier?"

Qi Zhen was silent there for a long time before opening his mouth in a low voice: "Beside the moat."

Ye Chuxiao gasped suddenly, and asked in surprise, "What are you doing there with Mi Lier?" Could it be that it was crazy...

He was silent for a long while, then said "Come here", and hung up the phone.

She called again, but he didn't answer.

Chen Ze and Monica then accompanied her to the moat, but there was no one there, until finally, they saw Qi Zhen's car on a hidden deserted beach.

Ye Chuxiao rushed down the embankment in three steps at a time, and rushed straight to his car. Through the brown car window, he saw him sitting with Mi Lier in his arms. Both of them closed their eyes and remained motionless.

Her heart tightened in panic, she hardly dared to open the car door, she just stood there in a daze, until Chen Ze also chased after her and asked what was wrong, when Qi Zhen in the car heard the sound and suddenly opened his eyes.

Only then did Ye Chuxiao let out a heavy breath, and stretched out her hand to open the door, only to find that it was locked inside. She was so anxious that she slapped on the window vigorously. Finally, Qi Zhen moved and slid the glass down.

"Qi Zhen, you..." Ye Chuxiao yelled, but seeing Mi Lier rubbing her eyes and waking up from Qi Zhen's arms, she could only hold back forcefully, fearing to frighten her.

"Mom..." Mi Li'er saw her and smiled, "Are you coming to accompany me to launch the boat?"

Only then did Ye Chuxiao notice that there were a few boats made of colored paper scattered on the seat next to her, and the tension in her mind loosened a little. She forced a smile: "Yes, Mom is here to accompany you."

Mi Lier looked out again: "Hey, Uncle Chen and Mom Mo are here too."

"Let them leave, and you stay alone." Qi Zhen, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke out in a tone that could not be refused.
