i loved you so much

Chapter 25 There is no shortcut to happiness (1)
Aunt Sun wants to go out on weekends. As usual, she asks An Xiaoduo who is at home to help watch the shop. Because she has to go out for a whole day, she tells Xiaoduo before leaving: "If you have something to go out, just pull down the door. This shop will be open for an extra day." It doesn’t make any difference if you don’t do business for a day, but Qianqian has to ask your father to take a look. I’m not afraid of anything else, but I’m afraid that she will suddenly get confused and do something stupid.”

An Xiaoduo agreed.Wang Qian is the niece of Aunt Sun's deceased husband, and Aunt Sun took care of her after the accident.Not long after she moved in, she heard from Aunt Sun what happened to Wang Qian, and she felt sympathy for Wang Qian.Wang Qian has pretty features and is about the same age as her. When she is not sick, she speaks softly, which is quite likable.

When it was almost eleven o'clock, An Xiaoduo received a call from Li Hui, explaining that she couldn't go to the hospital to see her because of something that happened that day, and only later did she hear from the nurse that she had been discharged from the hospital.

The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and An Xiaoduo said that she would return the medical expenses she had paid in advance, so Li Hui reported to her the hotel where she stayed.

An Xiaoduo ended the call, and tried to discuss with Wang Qian who was reading the newspaper: "Qianqian, I want to go out for a while, can you go to my house to watch TV at noon?"

But after she finished speaking, she remembered that it was almost eleven o'clock now, and her father was used to taking a nap at noon, so she hesitated for a moment, and she asked tentatively, "Or do you want to go out with me?"

"Okay, okay, I'll go out with you." Wang Qian rushed into the room to change without giving An Xiaoduo a chance to repent.She usually spends most of her time in the fruit shop, and she will inevitably get bored after a long time. When she heard that she could go out, she hurried to the room to make up for herself.

An Xiaoduo followed, seeing that she was doing well today and doing things in an orderly manner, she felt relieved a little, went back and prepared the lunch, told her father to eat by herself, then took her bag and took Wang Qian out.

The hotel where Li Hui lived was near the school, and they soon arrived at the hotel lobby. The guest room department occupied two floors, and An Xiaoduo easily found room 2605.

When she entered the room, she saw a 26-inch suitcase on the bed with all the clothes folded and put it in. She asked, "Are you leaving? Have you found the person you are looking for?"

"Well, she has already gone back, and I will leave tomorrow."

"Then I wish you the best of luck." An Xiaoduo took out an envelope from her bag and handed it to her.

"Thank you, I don't know if we will have a chance to meet again in the future."

An Xiaoduo intuitively felt that there was something in her words, but before she could discern, she heard her say: "By the way, you haven't had lunch yet, I invite you to the Chinese restaurant in the hotel. I went to have dinner yesterday and found that the chef's skills are not bad. good."

"Okay, it's just me asking you. I haven't thanked you well for what happened last time."

The three of them went to the Chinese food department on the second floor. The hotel was only open to insiders and there were not many customers. They chose a spacious location, and the waiter quickly delivered the menu.Wang Qian ordered five or six dishes in one go, An Xiaoduo and Li Hui looked at each other, Li Hui smiled and said, "Your friend is an expert."

Wang Qian gave them a reserved smile.

An Xiaoduo suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart, but it was inconvenient for her to say anything in front of Li Hui.

Halfway through eating, Wang Qian wiped her mouth with a paper towel, got up and said to go to the bathroom, the bathroom is not far from the left turn, An Xiaoduo originally wanted to go with her, but she didn't even say no.

Li Hui said, "You really care about your friend."

An Xiaoduo could only respond with a smile. She tried her best to restrain her uneasy emotions, but she came to whatever she was afraid of. Not long after, Wang Qian's figure passed by the restaurant door. She felt bad, put down her chopsticks and rushed out , Shouting: "Qianqian, stop!"

Wang Qian turned a deaf ear to it, and there seemed to be something bewitching her in front of her. She ran towards the elevator as fast as she could, bumping into several people on the way.

An Xiaoduo followed all the way, remembering the doctor's advice, she didn't dare to run violently, but she was really worried that Wang Qian would cause some unmanageable situation, so she hurried to the elevator entrance, and saw Wang Qian with disheveled hair, her hands dead Holding on to the elevator door, he shouted excitedly into the elevator.

An Xiaoduo didn't know what stimulated her, so she rushed over to persuade her: "Qianqian, let go, it's dangerous for you!"

A man's surprised voice came from the elevator: "An Xiaoduo?"

She subconsciously looked up and was stunned.

Wang Qian grabbed her arm with one hand, and her nails almost dug into the flesh. She was so painful that she knew that what she saw was real, not her own illusion.

There were two men standing in the elevator, one was Wu Lixuan, and the other was——

Li Xiaoan.

These three words were silently pinched by her throat, and the sudden acceleration of her heartbeat made it difficult for her to breathe. She stared at him blankly, but the surging tide in her heart wave after wave, almost tossing her to the ground.

It wasn't too far away from the last birthday party, but she felt that a long, long time had passed.

"Why are you here?" There was a tremor in her voice.

Li Xiaoan stared at her deeply, and did not respond for a long time.

Wu Lixuan coughed and said, "We're here to meet a friend, this...you know him? What's going on?"

An Xiaoduo broke Wang Qian's hand away forcefully: "Well...she...she recognized the wrong person."

"Xiaoduo, Xiaoduo, he is my husband!" Wang Qian pointed at Li Xiaoan and said.

The expressions of the three people present all changed subtly. Wang Qian was still holding on to the elevator door with one hand. Li Xiaoan simply walked out of the elevator, and Wu Lixuan quickly followed.

"He's not, you've got the wrong person." This scene made An Xiaoduo unable to resist, and she had a splitting headache for a while.

"He is, he is, my husband looks like this in a suit! He's so handsome!"

Seeing this, Wu Lixuan finally understood. He pointed to his temple and gave An Xiaoduo a questioning look.

An Xiaoduo nodded.

Wu Lixuan touched his nose and smiled understandingly.While pulling, An Xiaoduo stole a glance at the man, only to see his bottomless black pupils looking at her deeply, without waves or waves.

"I'm sorry, I...I still have something to do, let's take a step first." With all her strength, she dragged Wang Qian downstairs.

Wang Qian kept struggling and shouting, seeing that An Xiaoduo was still ignoring her, Sapo pushed her from the back.

An Xiaoduo staggered, but fortunately, she supported the railing next to her so that she would not fall.Wang Qian ran away as if fleeing, she had no strength to chase, and watched her rush up the stairs frantically.The sudden pain just now made her abdomen ache, so she could only sit on the sofa in the lobby to relax.

Li Xiaoan turned a blind eye to the woman in front of him who was making a fool of herself, so Wu Lixuan had no choice but to coax him.

Li Xiaoan turned around, his eyes fell on the thin figure in the lobby.

Li Menghui stood behind the pillar and watched from a distance. His tense facial lines and tightly clenched hands revealed his current mood. No one in this world is more familiar with his little movements than her.She was cold, and her heart was empty.

Just when An Xiaoduo was thinking about what to do, Wu Lixuan pulled Wang Qian over and said, "Xiaoduo, I'll take you back."

An Xiaoduo subconsciously looked up at the second floor, and there was no one there.

Wu Lixuan asked her address, entered it in the navigation, and then started the car.

Wang Qian kept asking where her husband was, Wu Lixuan glanced at An Xiaoduo through the rearview mirror, and said with a smile, "He still has something to do."

An Xiaoduo's face was pale, but he hesitated to speak.

Wu Lixuan saw it and asked her: "Xiaoduo, are you doing well here?"

"pretty good."

Along the way, An Xiaoduo was in a sluggish mood. The heater in the car made her feel nauseous, and Wang Qian's noisy voice kept ringing in her ears. It was very hard for her to resist the urge to tell Wang Qian to shut up.

The car stopped at the door of the house, and she got out of the car. While coaxing Wang Qian to get down, she said to Wu Lixuan, "I don't invite you in, it's not convenient."

Wu Lixuan naturally knew that her "inconvenience" meant An Zhengran, so he smiled: "It's okay, Xiaoduo, every time I see you, I feel that you have changed a lot."

An Xiaoduo looked at him puzzled.

"I mean you have matured. The first time I saw you, I thought Xiao'an Jinwu Zangjiao was hiding a high school student."

An Xiaoduo smiled wryly: "People have to grow up."

After speaking, she said goodbye to him, and took Wang Qian to the fruit shop.

Wu Lixuan didn't drive away immediately, he looked at An Xiaoduo's back, immersed in the memories of the first time he saw her.

That day when he was delivering documents to Li Xiaoan, the two were discussing business in the study. Wu Lixuan was talking when he suddenly noticed a crack in the door and a small thing came in.When he took a closer look, it turned out to be a small milk cat the size of a palm.

He was shocked at the time, and couldn't figure out how such a creature would appear in the house of Li Xiaoan, who is known for being cold-blooded.What surprised him even more was that Li Xiaoan didn't react when he saw the little thing, and let it run around the room, rubbing against his antique vase and licking the legs of the table.

"Sister, you little lazy pig, come out and pick up the ball—"

Wu Lixuan's attention was immediately attracted by this cute voice, following the sound, a girl in a white shirt and denim shorts came into view at the door.The girl is slim, with a slapped face, feeling very small, and a bit babyfat, as fresh as a mountain spring in a valley.

The kitten ran over obediently, and she bent down to pick it up.

Attorney Li finally moved his eyes away from the document, and looked at the girl dotingly, with a tenderness that had never been seen on his face.

Thinking of the scene at that time, Wu Lixuan couldn't help laughing.In fact, An Xiaoduo's conditions are considered to be unique, her appearance, character, and mind are not bad, such a girl should be cherished and loved by others, but unfortunately God gave her a hundred good things, but even one bad thing, She had a father like An Zhengran.

Regrets arose in Wu Lixuan's heart. After many years, An Xiaoduo was wearing the same white shirt and light-colored jeans. She was still beautiful, but the clear and innocent eyes had disappeared.

An Xiaoduo was not feeling well and had no energy to spend with Wang Qian, so she warmed up a glass of milk, secretly put a sleeping pill in it, and coaxed her to drink it and go to sleep.This method was told by Aunt Sun, and it is usually only used when Wang Qian is ill.

Sitting on the bench in the fruit shop, she couldn't help but recall the scene of the encounter just now.

For three months, it seemed like a lifetime away.

He was still so thin. When we separated, his body hadn't fully recovered. He should be fully recovered now, but why is he still so thin?She thought that the two of them would never see each other again in this life, but for the sake of An Zhengran, she gave up the relationship between them time and time again. If it were him, she would be angry and hard to let go.

A burst of music came from nowhere, and a male voice sang softly:

Let us who are weak know how to be cruel, and face every coldness in life fiercely,
Those who have loved reluctantly are often destined but not destined,
Who takes who is real, who feels sorry for whom, who is the only person,

……

A certain end of the world, a certain path, a certain hug on a certain day of a certain year, a certain month,
Green riverside grass, quietly waiting for the end of time...

An Xiaoduo was shocked, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Lizhou Airport.

Li Xiaoan sat in the cafe, flipping through the magazine absently.

Wu Lixuan walked in, handed him the changed boarding pass, and reminded: "There is still half an hour."

Li Xiaoan stirred the black coffee in front of him with a small spoon, he hadn't slept all night, and he didn't feel sleepy at this time, but his temples seemed like two small men were beating drums, beating endlessly.

Wu Lixuan said: "I asked her neighbors. She takes care of An Zhengran by herself and teaches foreign language classes in the training school. That crazy girl is called Wang Qian, and she is her neighbor..."

"Enough!" Li Xiaoan shouted in a low voice.

It happened that the waiter brought the coffee, Wu Lixuan took a sip, and continued: "I sent her back yesterday, she didn't talk very much, and she didn't look good. A girl has to earn money to support the family, but also has to take care of her seriously ill father alone. Thinking about having a bad day."

"She asked for it." Li Xiaoan said these words coldly.

"An Zhengran is her biological father, so it's difficult for her to be in the midst of you."

Li Xiaoan's face turned cold, he threw away the magazine and stood up, picked up the coat that was resting on the back of the chair next to him, and stuffed the documents and boarding pass on the table into his pocket.

Watching his back disappear at the exit of the airport, an imperceptible smile floated on the corner of Wu Lixuan's mouth.

Li Menghui came out of the bathroom and looked around: "What about him?"

"Let's go first, he still has something to do."

Li Menghui didn't show any surprise: "You told him about An Xiaoduo's whereabouts?"

"Menghui, I can't keep this secret for long, even if I don't tell him, he will know sooner or later." Wu Lixuan hesitated, and said, "I didn't tell him that Xiaoduo was pregnant."

"Really? Then I want to thank you, you really keep your promise."

Facing Li Menghui's ridicule, Wu Lixuan could only smile wryly.

An Xiaoduo walked into the office after class, Liu Yang and Wu Boxin were there, and Liu Yang called her over to eat.An Xiaoduo saw that it was a dumpling, so she asked, "Did you make it yourself?"

Liu Yang said with a smile: "My mother made it. The skin is thin and the stuffing is full. Try it."

"Auntie came to Lizhou?" Liu Yang was from the north, and An Xiaoduo remembered that he said his mother was in her hometown.

"I arrived yesterday. It won't be Chinese New Year soon. I asked her and my dad to come to Lizhou to celebrate the New Year this year. I have worked in Lizhou for so long. Every time they come here, they come and go in a hurry, and I don't spend time with them. This year I bought a car and took them around."

"I'm really envious of you. I feel dizzy when I think of the Spring Festival travel season. I haven't even got the ticket yet." Wu Boxin took a dumpling and dipped it in the sweet and spicy sauce.

Wu Boxin's home is in the south of the Yangtze River. She studied in Lizhou University and stayed here after graduation. She said that she was very happy to go home, but she frowned at the thought of squeezing the Spring Festival travel season.

"By the way, Xiaoduo, where did you spend New Year's Eve this year?" Wu Boxin only knew that An Xiaoduo's father was also in Lizhou, but she had never heard her mention her mother.

An Xiaoduo squeezed a smile on her face: "I should have lived here, my father is not in good health, so it's inconvenient to travel far."

Liu Yang watched her hesitate to speak, as if she was embarrassed to say something.

An Xiaoduo pretended not to see it. In fact, since the last time she went to see a movie with him, she had never gone out alone with him again, and it was even more impossible now.

"Hey, I have to book tickets quickly." Wu Boxin put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth with a tissue, and ran to the computer to open the booking website.

"I met the principal just now, and he said that the holiday may be later this year." Liu Yang said.

Wu Boxin groaned strangely: "Then what should we do?"

An Xiaoduo thought for a while: "It's okay, your class is different from mine. If it's really not possible, I will substitute for you in the next few days."

Wu Baixin smiled happily, and rushed over to hug her: "Xiaoduo, you are so kind to me, I love you so much, I will bring you hometown specialties when I come back."

An Xiaoduo smiled, took a dumpling and put it in her mouth. The dumpling was stuffed with cabbage and pork. She liked to eat it before, but for some reason today, her stomach churns after eating half of it. He rushed out of the office with a face on his face, plunged into the bathroom next to him, and vomited.

Wu Boxin thought that she had a bad stomach, so he took an opened bottle of Zhenglu Wan from the drawer and gave her: "This medicine is very effective, you take one."

An Xiaoduo took it and put it on her desk, and said, "I'll eat it after lunch."

As a result, her stomach didn't feel better until the meal time, and her stomach kept pantothenic acid.She checked on the Internet and knew that this was a normal phenomenon, but her colleagues didn't know it, and it couldn't be kept secret for long.It was morning sickness first, and her belly would get bigger in a few months. She was determined to have this child, no matter what others said, she didn't care, but there was always something to say to the people in the same office. That's the most troublesome thing, how can she tell her father?
An Xiaoduo avoided her colleagues and went downstairs, looking for a porridge shop to drink some light porridge. After leaving the school gate, she was wondering where there was a porridge shop, when she suddenly tightened her wrist and was pulled by a force.She was so frightened that she almost cried out. When she looked up and saw the other party, she immediately became quiet and said in a low voice, "You...Why are you here?"

Li Xiaoan dragged her hand and left, the car stopped on the side of the road, he pushed her into the passenger seat, he let the driver of the hotel get out of the car, sat in the driver's seat and drove the car away.

An Xiaoduo hurriedly pulled on the seat belt and fastened it, looking worriedly at his stern side face: "Where are you taking me?"

Li Xiaoan ignored her, the car started to speed up after turning out of the urban area, he was heading west all the way, the traffic and pedestrians on the road became less and less, and the place where he could see became empty.

An Xiaoduo huddled on the seat, her face was pale, and she bit her lip tightly. She was already suffering from morning sickness, and now she was getting worse and worse.

"Stop!" she yelled weakly.

Still being ignored.

Li Xiaoan stared ahead, his mind was in a mess, suddenly a wet and sticky hand covered the back of his hand, he turned his head to glance at her, and was taken aback.

An Xiaoduo's bangs were wet with sweat, with a painful expression on her face.

He subconsciously stepped on the brakes.
