Stand-In Boyfriend Fu Zheng Ji

Li Xiang seemed to have been expecting Zhang Ling to ask this question.

An unconcealable smile appeared on his face and he said:

"Aren't I worried that you would be bored sitting here alone. That's why I thought of saying a few more words to relieve your boredom."

The reason Li thought was pure nonsense.

That's because he has been missing Zhang Ling for several days.

I don't know what's going on?

Although Zhang Ling is currently by his side.

But Li Xiang still felt inexplicably flustered.

Perhaps it was because he learned about the root cause of Zhang Ling's illness after narrowly escaping from the fire.

If he didn't nag a few words to confirm that Zhang Ling was around.

Then he will still feel that Zhang Ling has not come back.

He was seeking a short-term peace of mind in this way.

How could Zhang Ling believe Li Xiang's excuses so easily?

She looked at Li suspiciously and wanted to say:
"No. You must not be telling the truth. I think something is wrong with you."

Talk about something happening.

Not to mention that Li Xiang did have something to talk to Zhang Ling about.

So he said with a bit of the shy smile he had when they first met:

"I didn't expect you to see through my little thoughts."

Li Xiang's words really mean nothing if taken literally.

But after Zhang Ling heard it, she felt bursts of joy in her heart.

She even unconsciously thought that Li Xiang should have been seen through by her.

This normal phenomenon is like steam coming out when water boils.

Zhang Ling also urged naturally:

"Go ahead. What's the matter?"

Before Li Xiang spoke, he said hello to Xiaodouzi who was not far away.

Then he said to her:

"In the afternoon, I received a call from the old patriarch's housekeeper."

Zhang Ling tensed up and said:

"I have already followed their wishes and promised to go to the appointment on time at noon tomorrow. What else do they want to do?"

She remembered how Li Xiang looked at Xiaodouzi before speaking.

So he said even more nervously:

"Maybe they want to do something to Xiaodouzi."

"Don't get excited! Wait until I finish speaking."

"Can I not be excited? How important Xiaodouzi is to me. It's not like you, Li Xiang, don't know."

"Good thing. It's a good thing."

"Good thing?"

"Yes, the old housekeeper said something good for Xiaodouzi."

Zhang Ling then calmed down her excitement and asked:

"What good thing?"

"Every year, the Li family sends promising children to study in prestigious foreign schools. Xiaodouzi is among the three places this year. You see..."

Li Xiang hasn't finished speaking yet.

Zhang Ling became excited again.

"No, no! This is coercion in disguise. I will never agree to it."

Although Zhang Ling knew in her heart that such an opportunity was rare.

But she still considered Xiaodouzi's safety.

Decisively rejected the so-called good news sent by the old housekeeper.

Zhang Ling's excitement has attracted strange looks from many people.

He looked like he was going crazy when he picked up Zhang Ling near the airport.

He didn't want to irritate Zhang Ling like that again.

So he quickly agreed and comforted him:
"Okay, okay! Then I'll listen to you. We gave up this opportunity to study in a famous foreign school. Don't get excited!"

Zhang Ling calmed down.

She felt that her decision was too overbearing.

I think back then, she hated her parents the most for treating their children so domineeringly.

I never thought she would become the most hated person ever.

Then he looked at Li Xiang and asked:

"Have you mentioned this to Xiaodouzi? What does she think?"

Li Xiang did not dare to hesitate and said:
"No, absolutely not. Why shouldn't we discuss such a big matter with you first?"

He felt that saying this should be enough to reflect the importance he attached to Zhang Ling.

I never thought that I would not get Zhang Ling’s smiling face.

Her face became even more gloomy and ugly.

He lowered his head slightly and didn't say a word.

It seems like he is thinking about something important like his ideal life.

He watched her in silence for a long time with a drum in his heart.

Finally I couldn't help but speak again:

"Zhang Ling, you look scary when you don't speak. Just say whatever I said wrong."

Zhang Ling finished listening.

Then he raised his eyes and looked at Li Xiang.

Hesitant to speak.

That's because I haven't figured out how to speak yet.

But Li Xiang mistakenly thought that he had made a serious mistake just now.

As a result, Zhang Ling was unwilling to say another word to him.

Li Xiang glanced at Xiaodouzi, who was playing happily in the distance.

He didn't want this situation to continue.

So he continued what he said before:

"Zhang Ling, we have known each other for such a long time. You must know me."

Zhang Ling finally responded and nodded "Yeah".

Li Xiang took advantage of the current enthusiasm and continued:

"I, Li Xiang, am definitely not a person who cannot accept mistakes and criticism. If you have anything to say, why don't we explain it in person?"

Zhang Ling breathed a long sigh of relief and said first, "It's not what you think."

Li Xiang asked anxiously:

"What's that like? Please speak clearly once and for all. You don't know how torturous it is to talk like this."

torture!
Zhang Ling's heart tightened.

This meant that Li Xiang misunderstood that she was playing hard-to-get.

Pregnant.

Could it be that she was infected by Yan Yuan?
Even after breaking up, you still want to tease the other person.

Do not!
She definitely can't be like Yan Yuan.

This is her minimum standard of conduct.

Zhang Ling said with a bit of shame in her smile:
"I'm thinking maybe I'm not a good mother?"

Li Xiang tried to comfort him and said:

"Zhang Ling, don't say that. Do you know that you have always been the greatest existence in Xiaodouzi's mind?"

Zhang Ling thought about what Li Xiang had just said.

There was a bit more remorse on her face.

"This kind of thing about going to a well-known foreign school. It is definitely a good thing for Xiaodouzi."

Li Xiang nodded and said:
"It's a good thing! But your worries are not unreasonable! Zhang Ling, listen to me..."

He also strongly agreed with Zhang Ling's initial point of view.

I also don’t want Xiaodouzi to have any accidents because of going to school.

Zhang Ling interrupted with a firm tone:

"No! This makes no sense. I decided in advance without telling Xiaodouzi. This seems a bit unfair to Xiaodouzi."

Li Xiang explained:
"You originally sacrificed yourself for this opportunity. Now it's up to you to decide whether to stay or not. This is very reasonable! There is really nothing fair or unfair."

Zhang Ling did not answer immediately after hearing this.

At first glance!
There is nothing wrong with Li Xiang's statement.

But what was her original intention in deciding to do this?
Isn't it just that he wants to borrow the resources of the Li family?

This will give Xiaodouzi a good educational environment.

Now such resources are in front of her.

But she refused directly because she was worried that Xiaodouzi might be harmed.

Not only did this go against her original intention for Xiaodouzi.

What's more, it hurts the child's absolute trust in her.

Weigh again and again! Zhang Ling suddenly raised her head and said to Li:

"No, you are wrong! This is not the result I want. I think it is necessary to discuss this matter with Xiaodouzi before deciding."

"discuss!"

Zhang Ling's idea was too unbelievable for Li Xiang.

Thinking about when he was as big as Xiaodouzi.

Everything about him is either decided by his parents or chosen by his grandma.

It was not until he entered society that he gradually gained control over his words and deeds.

This gave him the opportunity to act as a substitute for the real Li Xiang behind his grandmother's back.

So he asked firmly next:
"Zhang Ling, are you sure you are not joking?"

Zhang Ling nodded seriously and said:

"no!"

Li Xiang shook his head with a contemptuous smile and said:
"Even if you tell Xiaodouzi about this, what decision do you think Xiaodouzi can make with her child's mind? It's just adding some trouble to the innocent child."

Zhang Ling shook her head in disapproval and said:

"No! If the choice is difficult for Xiaodouzi, I will not force her to choose. The main purpose of telling her this is to let Xiaodouzi understand our respect for her!"

"Respect?"

Li Xiang looked again at Xiaodouzi who was playing with Ashuang not far away.

Thinking that when he was a child, he never knew what respect meant?
His father died in a mining accident.

His mother took away all the compensation from his father and insisted on remarrying.

such a big thing.

His mother never told him the truth.

Li Li wanted to go to the market to buy the big birthday cake that he had been thinking about for his birthday.

I never thought that the big cake would not be waiting for him on his birthday.

The mother has disappeared since then.

When he missed his mother and asked his grandma for his mother.

Grandma said with a bit of gritted teeth:

"Stop shouting! Your mother has died long ago. There is no way she will come back."

After that, he fell into deep self-blame for a long time.

Because it's all his fault for being greedy and wanting to eat a big birthday cake on his birthday.

As a result, I completely lost my mother.

A few years later.

Grandma saw that Li Xiang would be depressed for a long time every time he had a birthday.

Said it was in memory of his mother who died for him.

Grandma finally couldn't bear it anymore and confessed the truth to Li Xiang.

The moment when Li wants to hear the truth!
Suddenly I didn't want to trust anyone anymore.

Especially women.

If grandma hadn't pulled him up to grow up.

He became seriously ill and was admitted to the hospital.

Li Xiang probably still hates his grandma's lies in his heart.

When I heard Zhang Ling definitely say, "Yes, it's respect."

Li Xiangcai felt that he didn't really hate his grandma's lies.

He blamed grandma for not respecting him and telling the truth directly.

A bright smile appeared on his face and he said:

"Okay, I support your respect for Xiaodouzi..."

Li Xiang looked a little anxious and tried to call Xiaodouzi over immediately.

Zhang Ling stopped Li Xiang from talking about this matter now.

Because she didn't want to ruin the children's good mood of playing because of this incident.

It’s not too late to wait until you’re on your way home.

Li Xiang looked at Xiaodouzi in the distance with a bright smile on his face.

He readily agreed with Zhang Ling's statement.

A Shuang's mother came over at this time.

He smiled enthusiastically and said:
"You are welcome to take time out of your busy schedule to attend my daughter's birthday party. I am really too busy today! Please forgive me if there is any lack of care."

Li Xiang smiled and didn't reply.

Turning to look at Zhang Ling aside.

He believed that it was most appropriate for Zhang Ling to stand up and speak out in this situation.

Zhang Ling saw Li Xiang's intention.

With a confident smile on her face she said:

"A-Shuang's mother is too polite. Everything is for the sake of the children!"

Ashuang’s mother repeated, “Everything is for the sake of the children.”

Then, he naturally looked at the two children playing not far away and continued:
"Yes, since this little guy was born, he has become my biggest weakness in life."

Zhang Ling heard a bad premonition from Ashuang's mother's words and said:
"Mother Ashuang, what do you want to say?"

A Shuang's mother turned around and looked at Zhang Ling and Er Shun:

"From the look of the two of you being so close, they don't look like they've broken up at all. But somehow I overheard that you had broken up a long time ago?"

Zhang Ling's nerves immediately became tense and she said:
"You heard it! Who said this?"

Ah Shuang’s mother smiled and waved her hands and said:
"Don't get me wrong! Just for the sake of my children, I really have no hostility towards you two."

Zhang Ling continued to ask:

"I just want to know where you heard those words from? Tell me!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she gave Li Xiang a look at the side.

Ask Li Xiang to take Xiaodouzi back immediately and prepare to leave.

Li Xiang also felt the smell of conspiracy.

He walked towards Xiaodouzi without any hesitation.

Ashuang’s mother explained with a bitter smile:
"Blame me, blame me, it's really my fault! I didn't expect you to misunderstand me."

Zhang Ling didn't want to hear these long-winded words.

So I moved resolutely and prepared to leave.

Ah Shuang’s mother was obviously panicked!

Because if Zhang Ling really leaves.

A Shuang's best playmate Xiaodouzi may also be leaving.

For Ashuang's sake, we must never see this happen.

So he quickly stepped forward, grabbed Zhang Ling's arm and explained:
"I said, I said it's not okay yet. Mother Xiaodouzi, don't be too busy walking."

Only then did Zhang Ling look back at Ashuang's mother.

A Shuang’s mother continued:
"Wang Li, my friend Wang Li said this. In fact, I am just a messenger. I really have no hostility towards you two."

Zhang Ling still did not relax her vigilance and said:

"Wang Li! What else did she say?"

Ashuang’s mother continued to explain:
"Last time I attended a high-end cocktail party hosted by Master Qi Diaozhe. I never expected to meet Wang Li. She asked me to bring you a message. She said she must never agree to a dinner party."

Zhang Ling guessed that it was the old patriarch’s dinner at noon tomorrow.

However, in order to confirm my guess.

She still asked:

"What kind of dinner party?"

A Shuang’s mother continued:
"Oh, that's what I asked at the time. Wang Li just asked me to follow her words. She said you would definitely know after listening."

These words indeed sound like those spoken by Wang Li.

And the dinner party mentioned must be an invitation from the old patriarch at noon tomorrow.

Zhang Ling finally relaxed and looked at Ashuang's mother with a smile and said:
"I know! If you have a chance, say thank you to Wang Li for me."

It seems that after the class reunion, she no longer agrees with Li Xi.

As for why Wang Li still wants to be Li Xi’s nominal best friend?
I'm afraid only Wang Li herself knows it best.

But Wang Li's behavior is at least beneficial to her.

at this time!

Xiaodouzi has been brought over by Li Xiang.

Zhang Ling didn't answer Ashuang's mother's curiosity.

That is, what gatherings are dangerous?
The three of them hurriedly said goodbye to Ashuang's mother and daughter and left.

in the car home.

They haven't had time to ask Xiaodou about her willingness to go to a well-known foreign school.

Li Xiang asked Zhang Ling first, what did she and Ashuang's mother say when he went to find Xiaodouzi?
Zhang Ling said everything she talked about without concealing anything.

The car was suddenly so quiet that only each other's breathing could be heard.

Xiaodouzi naturally didn't understand what the two adults were worried about?
Finally I couldn't stand the silence anymore.

Unhappy, he was the first to speak:

"Mom and Dad, don't worry! As long as we are fine together as a family. Are there any difficulties in this world that we can't get through safely?"

Although I don’t know where Xiaodouzi learned these words?
But they can still laugh naturally and happily even though the problems they are worried about still exist.
