Only married but not in love: Ex-wife, see you tonight!

Chapter 405 Elopement
Seeing that the servant gave an affirmative answer again, the old man frowned unconsciously, and went downstairs even more hastily.

Ruan Anxi finally agreed to stay for a few more days, don't say a few words to that kid from the Shi family and then go back on his word, he has to stop him.

The living room was not as the old man imagined.

Ruan Anxi was cutting the fruit plate, but when he came out of the kitchen, Shi Yan was entering the door, and then he saw Xiao Bei happily running down the stairs, and flew into Shi Yan's arms: "Father!"

Now even if Ruan Anxi realized later why Shi Yan appeared here, he couldn't help poking Xiao Douding with his finger: "Is it another trick?"

Although Mr. Pei is also very kind to Xiao Douding, children always respect the old man. Coupled with the unfamiliarity, it is not as comfortable as playing in front of Shi Yan.

Ruan Anxi was still thinking about whether to let the two children go back to Shizhai in the past two days, but she didn't expect that before mentioning it, the child started to use his own brain.

Xiao Douding shook his head again and again: "I didn't!"

Shi Yan also chimed in with a smile: "Xiao Bei is worried that you are not in a good mood, so she wants me to pick you up."

Ruan Anxi was taken aback. Although she had already made a decision when she agreed to Pei Jingchen's request, she still missed Shi Yan after all, so she was inevitably a little depressed. It's just that the old man didn't feel her abnormality, and Xiao Douding discovered it first?
She didn't know what to say for a moment, and it took a while to ruffle the child's soft hair: "Mom is fine, if you are bored here, you can go back first."

"Xiao Bei wants to stay with Mommy."

But Xiaodouding was unwilling again, with a firm expression on his face.After all, in her opinion, Ruan Anxi is already very unhappy here, if she leaves again, won't Mummy even have no one to talk to?
Shi Yan understood the feelings between mother and daughter, so he couldn't help but raised his hand and rubbed the top of Xiao Douding's hair, then stood up straight and said, "Old man, Shi Yan came to disturb you uninvited."

Mr. Pei's face was not very good-looking: "If there is anything to do, just let the people below pass the message, there is no need to go there in person."

After all, he still does not want his granddaughter to marry the Shi family. After all, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Shi and Pei families are rivals, but if Ruan Anxi wants to marry into the Shi family, he must take part of his family property as a dowry. Overwhelmed by the Shi family?
Besides, the current Shi Yan looks like a decent person. If he leaves in a few years, even if this person uses Ruan Anxi's identity to annex the Ruan family Pei Jingchen, he won't say anything.

After all, Ruan Anxi is the direct granddaughter of the Pei family, and Pei Jingchen... is still a bit inferior in terms of status.

Shi Yan knew that the old man was in a bad mood, so he didn't get angry with him, he just said: "I want to come to take my wife and daughter home, if you agree..."

"I disagree!"

If the old man was just alienated just now, he is now annoyed: "Xiao Xi will never go back with you!"

I didn't expect the old man to refuse so simply, even Ruan Anxi was stunned: "Grandpa..."

Shi Yan also began to be dissatisfied. He clearly agreed that he would only come here for a short stay for a few days, so why did he plan to detain him and not return him when he arrived?
Even considering that the other party is an elder, Shi Yan's tone was not much better: "Ah Xie will only stay here for a short period of time, and I will naturally come to pick her up after a week."

This time it's not a discussion, but telling the other party his decision. The old man was caught by his tone in an instant, and he slammed his crutches and said, "Xiao Xi has suffered so much by your side, you still have the nerve to snatch this child from me." ?”

In the end, still considering Ruan Anxi's situation, Shi Yan also softened his tone a little: "I'm not trying to rob you, but you also know that Ah Xi doesn't have any sense of belonging here, and staying here won't be happy. As for the future, I certainly won't let her suffer any more."

"Do you know if she's happy or not?"

The old man didn't even look at Ruan Anxi, and said directly: "Xiao Xi has a family now, of course it's the most comfortable at home, and the sense of belonging and the like will be cultivated after staying for a long time!"

After finishing these few sentences with a straight neck, Mr. Pei may also feel that his words are a bit far-fetched, so he pointed at the door and said, "Hurry up and leave with your fallacies, you are not welcome here."

Ruan Anxi wanted to say something else, but the old man dropped those words and went upstairs, leaving the whole family in the living room looking at each other.

After a while, Xiao Douding frowned and said, "Grandpa is being unreasonable, Mommy is just unhappy here." Fortunately, she thought this grandpa was kind before, but now she doesn't feel that at all!

"Be good, Xiao Bei." Ruan Anxi rubbed Xiao Bei's hair and interrupted her, but when she looked at Shi Yan, there was still some worry in her eyes, "I didn't expect the old man to be so stubborn, what should I do now?"

If Mrs. Shi obstructed her, Shi Yan could take the mother and son and leave without hesitation, but now Mr. Pei is blocking the way. For Ruan Anxi's position and for her future relationship with this family, he naturally cannot be so reckless.

Before he could come up with a solution, Xiao Douding suddenly clapped his hands: "I know!"

Both looked down at her: "Know what?"

"Elope!"

Xiao Douding's eyes were bright, but what he said frightened his parents: "If grandpa doesn't agree, it's fine if mom and dad elope!"

Ruan Anxi really wanted to ask Mama Wu what TV series she watched for Xiaodouding every day!But after the initial shock, her mind became active: "How about we..."

Originally, it was agreed that I would only stay here for a few days, but the old man's tough and unquestionable attitude made her feel a little disgusted. Although I promised Pei Jingchen to take good care of the old man, it must be based on mutual respect. ?
Unexpectedly, Ruan Anxi would consider such a method. For the first time, Shi Yan understood this person's determination to be with him, but he was moved. In the end, he still denied this method: "No matter how you say it, the old man still cares about you. If you leave regardless of the old man's wishes, it will be difficult for you to restore a harmonious relationship in the future."

"I……"

Ruan Anxi wanted to say that she had no family when she left the Ruan family, that she had never been taken care of by her father since she was a child, and that she is not qualified to take care of her anymore, but she was choked back by Shi Yan's next sentence.

The man leaned over and pecked her lips, and then she said without recovering: "I hope our relationship can be blessed by the family, and I think we can live happily without any burden."

The heart that was still uneasy was filled with these two sentences, Ruan Anxi slowly responded to the serious and firm eyes of the predecessor: "Okay."

The old man returned to the study full of anger, but he didn't see his obedient granddaughter chasing after him to comfort him for a long time. He was about to get angry, but after the anger gradually subsided, he realized that what he said seemed a little too much.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk."

There was a knock on the door, and the old man wanted to take the air, but he was a little guilty when he regretted it just now, so he just coughed dryly and said, "Come in."

But after opening the door, it was not Ruan Anxi who he thought came in, but Wu Ma who was holding tea: "Master, this is the chrysanthemum tea made by Ms. Ruan, and I said it's for you."

The old man didn't know whether to be angry or relieved for a while, but when he watched Mama Wu pouring tea, a thought suddenly crossed his mind, he got up suddenly and was about to go out: "Xiao Xi is gone?"

"No, master, don't worry."

The old man got up in a hurry and didn't take his crutches, he couldn't help but staggered when he walked, Mama Wu hurriedly came over to support him and persuaded him, "Miss Ruan and Miss Xiao are still in the living room, but Mr. Shi has just left."

"Shi Yan is gone?"

The old man was a little confused now, he really never thought that Shi Yan would be so weak.

But Mama Wu smiled and said: "I think the young lady might feel bored and clamored for Miss Ruan to leave, but Mr. Shi said that she wanted Miss Ruan to be blessed by her family and live happily ever after, so Miss Ruan stayed."

Wu Ma helped the old man who had settled down to sit back on the chair, handed over the teacup and said: "At this time, the gentleman looks cold, but he is also cold-faced and warm-hearted."

Her words did not mean persuasion, but she was still a little dissatisfied in the old man's ears: "Him? That kid is full of tricks!"

He took a sip of tea to suppress the trace of satisfaction, and snorted coldly: "I want to see what tricks he will use to trick my granddaughter back!"

But things didn't develop as the old man thought. For the next few days, Shi Yan didn't come again. He thought more and more that this kid was going to abandon Ruan Anxi because of his determination. Although he felt worthless for his granddaughter, he could chat Shi is still belittling Shi Yan inside and outside the words.

After entering the midsummer, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the air conditioner is not good for the children, so Ruan Anxi simply took the older one and the younger one to the back garden promenade, the real midsummer wonderland is under the grape arbor.

That day, Mr. Pei set up a chessboard under the grape arbor. Although Ruan Anxi only knew a little about it, he could only accompany the gentleman, so Xiao Bei and Xiao Budian sat aside and watched.

Seeing Ruan Anxi lose two games in a row, Xiao Douding pouted: "Grandpa, you are bullying Mommy, Mommy won't play this at all!"

"Grandpa is teaching." The old man is in a happy mood these days, arguing with the child, "If grandpa is serious, your mother will have to admit defeat if she can't walk ten steps."

After a pause, he pointedly said: "However, it would be great if Jing Chen was here. You two juniors will play against me, and I think you can enjoy yourself to the fullest."

"If the old man wants to play chess, I can accompany him."

A voice intervened between several people, and Xiao Douding jumped up almost immediately and threw himself into the arms of the visitor: "Father!"

Shi Yan smiled and picked up the child and turned around, then looked down at Ruan Anxi who couldn't hide her smile: "I've been busy these days, are you bored here?"

"How do you talk, kid?"

The only person on the scene who was not happy was the old man: "Xiaoxi is in her own home, how can she be bored?"
