Chapter 87 The Soothing Kiss
For the next two days, Lu Zhengnan did not show any abnormalities, and accompanied Ye Chuxiao on an outing.

Ye Chuxiao, who hasn't come out to play relaxingly for many years, is as happy as a child, climbing trees and picking flowers, being mischievous.

Lu Zhengnan just pampered her, spoiled her, and let her be happy to the fullest.

They didn't return until Sunday afternoon. The landlord's family stood at the door and waved each other off.

"We'll come back later when we have time." He patted the top of her head and fastened her seat belt.

She was sleepy shortly after getting in the car and fell asleep on the neck pillow. He turned off the music, covered her with a coat, and looked at the road ahead alone.

In fact, he didn't want to leave this paradise, he really hoped to live here forever with her so leisurely, ignoring the troubles of the world.

However, I can't help myself.

The storm is about to begin, or has already begun.

On the third day after returning to the city, Qi Zhen appeared in Lu Zhengnan's office.

"This is a belated gift." Qi Zhen pushed a thick red envelope in front of him.

Lu Zhengnan was speechless.

Qi Zhen sat down opposite him, with a relaxed posture and a calm smile: "I went to Mi Li'er School, and I heard that she is no longer staying at the dormitory, that's good, thank you for taking so much trouble to help me take care of her."

He said this with a hint of sting, Lu Zhengnan only nodded: "It should."

"If it's convenient tonight, can I go to your house to see her?" Qi Zhen seemed to be asking for advice, but actually knew that the other party couldn't refuse.

As expected, Lu Zhengnan could only agree: "Okay."

"Siblings won't dislike you, right?" The corner of his lips twitched.

Lu Zhengnan was startled for a moment before he realized that the "siblings" he was talking about were Ye Chuxiao.

He actually called Ye Chuxiao his younger brother and sister.But Lu Zhengnan didn't feel any relief in his heart, instead he had an even worse premonition.

"Third brother," Lu Zhengnan raised his eyes and looked directly at him: "I still say the same thing, you should treat all the debts as if I owe them alone, and I will pay them off alone."

"Why did you say that suddenly?" Qi Zhen spread his hands innocently, "I just went to see the child, you don't need to be so sensitive." After speaking, he stood up: "Okay, I won't bother you right now See you tonight."

Lu Zhengnan watched his back disappear outside the door, propped his forehead with his hands, and there was a sense of sadness in his eyes.

Since he knew the secret, his position with Qi Zhen seemed to be reversed suddenly.

He owed so much to Qi Zhen, and he could no longer fight Qi Zhen confidently as before.

On the contrary, in order to compensate, step back step by step.

But even so, he still has a bottom line that he cannot give up. If Qi Zhen insists on breaking through, he can only fight back desperately.

At noon, he went to have dinner with Ye Chuxiao. While waiting for the food to be served, he hesitated for a while, and finally said, "Third brother said, go to our house tonight to see the rice grains."

Ye Chuxiao was stunned for a moment.

"I think he also...has no other meaning." Lu Zhengnan tried to make the atmosphere relaxed: "It's nothing more than missing a child."

But Ye Chuxiao looked at his expression, but didn't think it was that simple.

She understood Qi Zhen's personality, and he would never let go of her marriage with Lu Zhengnan with Mi Li'er.

However, thinking about Qi Zhen's tragic past, she sighed again: "Then go."

Lu Zhengnan nodded, and the two of them didn't speak any more.

After finishing the meal in silence, Ye Chuxiao said goodbye to Lu Zhengnan, and returned upstairs still a little absent-minded.

Monica found out and asked her what was going on.She told about Qi Zhen's coming to see the child, and Monica was also silent.

She still remembers the time Qi Zhen forced them to take their mother and daughter away. She always felt that Qi Zhen was like a ticking time bomb, giving people a strong sense of insecurity.

After hesitating for a while, Monica still said what was in her heart: "Although he is Mi Lier's biological father, there are some things that you should be careful about."

"I know." Ye Chuxiao sighed and nodded, feeling uneasy in her heart...

And that night, Qi Zhen really went to Yunshui Pavilion, and when he entered the door, he met Ye Chuxiao face to face, and when they looked at each other, his eyes were as dark as a pool, bottomless.

Ye Chuxiao instinctively avoided his gaze, and smiled: "Here you come? Come in and sit down."

He also smiled, and then asked, "Where are the rice grains?"

"Drawing upstairs, I'll call them." She was about to go upstairs, but Qi Zhen waved his hand, walked to the stairs by himself and shouted: "Mi Lier, Dad is here."

There was a sudden bang in Ye Chuxiao's mind, and she hurried to stop him: "Why are you like this..."

Qi Zhen turned around slowly and raised her eyebrows: "Am I wrong? Am I not her father?"

And at this time, Lu Zhengnan in the room also heard Qi Zhen's words, he came out holding Mi Li'er in a daze, stood on the second floor and greeted down: "Third brother is here?"

Mi Li'er was just concentrating on painting, but didn't notice anything else, so at this moment, she just waved to Qi Zhen happily: "Welcome Uncle."

Qi Zhen's eyes sank, he went up the stairs, and took the rice grains directly from Lu Zhengnan's arms: "Baby didn't you hear me just now, you have to call me daddy, not uncle."

Mi Li'er was confused, and turned to look at Lu Zhengnan: "But...that's Dad."

Qi Zhen's eyes darkened even more, Ye Chuxiao was completely anxious at this moment, afraid that he would say something radical: "Qi Zhen, she is still young..."

"It is precisely because she is young that she should be taught early." Qi Zhen sneered: "Otherwise, when she grows up, she will not be able to tell who is her real father."

What he said was extremely harsh, and Ye Chuxiao was about to refute, but Lu Zhengnan gave her a wink, looked at Qi Zhen, and smiled calmly: "The third brother is right, but in fact, no one really thinks about it." Keeping it from the child, she will know what she should know, who she should recognize, and who she will recognize."

One sentence blocked Qi Zhen, and he didn't speak anymore, but when he played with Mi Li'er later, he still called himself "Dad" one by one.

Mi Li'er was getting more and more confused, looking at Lu Zhengnan helplessly from time to time, but he just smiled back lovingly and didn't say much.

Ye Chuxiao watched from the side, feeling so stuffy and out of breath, that she finally went to the back door alone to get some air.

Now, she actually didn't think about preventing their father and daughter from knowing each other forever, but if he told Mi Li'er this fact in such a sudden and forceful way, what kind of impact and pressure would it have on the child's mind?

"It's okay." At some point, Lu Zhengnan walked up behind her and lightly pressed his shoulder.

"But..." She was also worried about his relationship with Mi Li'er in the future.Mi Li'er had identified him as her father from the very beginning, but now she was suddenly overthrown, how could she accept it?
"It's all right." He knew what she was thinking, and shook his head: "A child's world is far simpler than ours."

"I hope." Ye Chuxiao replied in a low voice, and the two of them stood side by side silently, looking at the mountains in the distance...

Qi Zhen didn't leave until ten o'clock, and Mi Lier waited for him to leave before timidly walking over and grabbing Lu Zhengnan's clothes: "Uncle said, he is my father."

Lu Zhengnan squatted down, looked at her at the same level, and smiled softly: "He didn't lie, he is Mi Lier's father."

"What about you?" Mi Lier pursed her lips.

"I didn't lie, I'm also Mi Li'er's father." Lu Zhengnan kissed her: "Mi Li'er has two fathers."

"But why do other children only have one father?" Mi Lier was still puzzled.

Lu Zhengnan pulled her into his arms: "Because Mi Li'er is a special child, the angel arranged for two fathers to give you more love."

Ye Chuxiao's eyes were wet, looking at this wise and tolerant man, she just felt that both she and Mi Lier were very lucky to meet him.

Mi Li'er was finally relieved, before falling asleep, she held Lu Zhengnan's fingertips and said in a daze, "I love you, Dad."

Lu Zhengnan bent down and kissed her forehead: "Honey, I love you too."

When he closed the door after she was sound asleep and came out, he saw Ye Chuxiao who had been standing outside the door watching quietly, and hugged her gently: "Look, I said that children's world is far simpler than ours, love for them, They will feel it very clearly, so don't worry so much."

"Yeah." Ye Chuxiao leaned in his arms, closed her eyes and nodded, but there was still a trace of worry in her heart, she felt that the current Qi Zhen seemed to be getting more and more aggressive...

From that day on, Qi Zhen became a frequent visitor of Yunshui Pavilion, coming here from time to time, Ye Chuxiao forced himself to calm down, and treated him like any guest, pouring water and serving tea.

And he also looked very easy-going, except for emphasizing to Mi Lier that he was a father, he didn't say much else.

But Mi Lier was used to calling him uncle, and couldn't change it for a while, just looked at him and smiled every time, and didn't call him anything.

Until one day, when he was taking her to look at the flowers in the garden, she was stung by a bee suddenly, and subconsciously cried and acted like a baby: "Dad, it hurts."

At that moment, Qi Zhen's heart was like a huge wave, he hugged her tightly, held her little hand to his lips, and gently blew her wound, even his voice was trembling: "Good baby."

At that time, Lu Zhengnan was actually standing not far behind them. He also ran out of the house when he heard Mi Lier calling Dad. When he saw this scene, he quietly backed away.

He felt sorry for Mi Li'er, but in his heart, he also pitied Qi Zhen.Although his own family is not considered happy, at least he has both parents, unlike Qi Zhen who has experienced life and death.Therefore, Qi Zhen's longing for family affection and hatred for the Lu family can all be understood.

And that night, Ye Chuxiao happened to be working overtime all night, so he called to say that he would stay in the studio and would not be able to come back. When Mi Lier fell asleep and Qi Zhen was about to leave, Lu Zhengnan suddenly asked to stay: "Third brother, we haven't seen each other for a long time." We've had a good chat, you might as well stay here today."

A trace of sadness flashed across Qi Zhen's eyes for an instant, but he still turned around and said indifferently, "No, I have something to do when I go back."

Lu Zhengnan's smile contained disappointment, but he still sent him outside the door: "Be careful on the road."

Qi Zhen immediately got into the car, stopped just as he started, and slid down the window, only showing a pair of deep eyes: "I forgot to tell you, I opened a new company in the ancient city, and I will be here permanently from now on. .”

Lu Zhengnan was slightly startled, and gave a faint "oh".

"Let's go." The car window went up again, Qi Zhen stepped on the gas pedal and sped away.

Lu Zhengnan stood alone in the night, after a long while, he returned to his room and called Shiman.

When she picked it up, the background music was loud, obviously in a nightclub.

"Brother Zhengnan, it's strange that you would take the initiative to call me." Shiman probably drank too much, giggling while talking.

Lu Zhengnan frowned: "How are you and Qi Zhen doing now?"

"What else can I do, just like that." Shiman replied cynically: "I don't want a divorce, and I don't live together. When I meet occasionally, I just go to bed."

Lu Zhengnan was too lazy to talk nonsense with her, so he got straight to the point: "He came here to start a company? Then who cares about Beijing's affairs?"

"I'll take care of it." Shiman laughed: "Brother Zhengnan, are you starting to care about this company in Beijing now? Is Dad still in good health? Are you in a hurry so early?"

Lu Zhengnan's eyes became more gloomy, and he simply hung up.

And Shiman listened to the "beep" sound from the phone, muttered "nervous", put aside the phone, twisted his body and entered the dance floor, and danced close to the two men who came with him earlier...

Qi Zhen returned to Beijing two days later. When he met Shi Man, he first listened to her report on the business affairs of the week.

Now, in fact, he has not given up on the company in Beijing at all. Instead, he has firmly grasped it in his own hands, but he has retreated from the front of the scene to the back of the scene.

Shiman is now a puppet with him holding the string behind his back.

After the work was finished, Shiman changed his appearance, came over and sat on his lap, winking like silk: "How is it? Are you satisfied with my progress?"

"Your real surname is Shi, and you forgot that you are also from the Lu family." Qi Zhen sneered.

Shiman curled his lips: "Did Lu Zhengnan ever treat me as a younger sister? After the old man dies, he will definitely give me nothing, so why should I be polite to him?"

Qi Zhen chuckled, "Okay."

"Don't just talk about these boring things, it's hard for you to come back once..." Shi Man said coquettishly, his long nails studded with crystals slowly scratched his face, full of temptation.

But he leaned back and distanced himself from her: "Haven't you had enough fun with those two men a few days ago?"

Shocked, Shiman blurted out and asked, "You sent someone to follow me."

Qi Zhen neither admitted nor denied, just looked at her with playful eyes.

"I'm with them...just playing around." Schman brushed his hair nervously and explained.

"Whether it's acting or being sincere, I don't care." Qi Zhen shrugged, then pushed her away, stood up, and took out a tissue from the side to wipe his hands: "But I'm afraid of getting sick."

Shiman's face was ashen, and he stood there for a while, gritted his teeth and slammed the door to leave.

Qi Zhen slowly crumpled up the paper towels, threw them far away into the wastebasket by the table, and went to the bathroom to take a shower...

After another two days, he finished handling all the matters that should be dealt with, and planned to leave Beijing, but before leaving, he changed his mind and decided to visit the old man in that courtyard.

When the guards came in to make an announcement, they met Lu's mother in the yard first. When she heard Qi Zhen's name, she immediately changed her face: "What is he doing here, let him go."

But Qi Zhen's identity was also very clear to the guards, so he didn't dare to make a rash decision, and stood still in embarrassment.

During the stalemate, the old man's voice suddenly came from the East Wing: "Who is outside?"

The guard hurriedly reported loudly, and the people inside paused for a while, then said in a deep voice, "Let him in."

When the old man spoke, Mother Lu didn't dare to disobey, so she turned angrily and went back to the house on the west side.

Qi Zhen entered the courtyard, glanced at the surrounding environment, and there was a sneer on the corner of his lips: "This environment is very elegant."

The door of the East Wing was already opened for him, half closed.He opened the door and went in, and saw the old man sitting on the sofa opposite.

"Didn't you say you've been bedridden recently?" Qi Zhen's voice was as calm as ever, but his tone of humility was gone.

The old man just sighed and raised his hand: "Sit down."

Qi Zhen took his seat, separated from him by only a coffee table, as if facing each other.

Both sides were silent, and finally the old man spoke first: "You and Xiaoman..." He hesitated and did not continue, but Qi Zhen smiled and took the words: "We are not divorced, and we are living well."

The old man was speechless, and nodded slowly after a while: "Oh, that's good."

Looking at the tired and aging man in front of him, Qi Zhen's heart softened a little, but in an instant, thinking of those bloody scenes, his eyes hardened again, and he stabbed straight at him like a sharp knife.

Under his eyes, the old man seemed a little timid and avoided his sight.

"Little Zhen," the old man sighed, calling him as intimately as when he hugged the young Qi Zhen many years ago, but today, too many things have changed and experienced, and he has already returned. If you are not in the state of mind you were in back then, you can't do it naturally: "I used to... the past..."

He also wanted to be open and honest, but in the end he couldn't do it, and he couldn't say the rest.

Qi Zhen looked at him coldly and smiled: "Don't worry, I'm not a person who treats me badly. I will take back what I deserve."

The old man lowered his eyelids, speechless.

"There is another thing to report to you. The new granddaughter in your family, who looks like Zhengnan, is actually born to me and your daughter-in-law. Her surname should be Qi." Qi Zhen's words succeeded in making the old man's face even paler, but he didn't stop: "If you want to say that our family relationship is really a bit messy now, as for you, you have two bedrooms, and your daughter-in-law is just like you. Even if there are two rooms, this is really called not being a family, not entering a family."

The old man was almost unable to hold on anymore, his hands covered with age spots covered his eyes, and his fingertips were visibly trembling.

Qi Zhen admired it for a while, then slowly stood up and left. When the door was closed, there was a dark smile in his eyes.

Hearing his footsteps out of the yard, the old man's body suddenly collapsed, he leaned on the handrail and gasped for breath, he desperately reached for the medicine bottle, poured out two, put them in his mouth, poured them with water, and then stroked his chest, Slowly close your eyes...
