The rich and powerful: the contracted secret wife, please enter the game

Chapter 122
After another week or so, Mi Li'er was able to walk on the ground. The doctor said that she was in good condition after recovery, and she could be discharged home and gradually started rehabilitation training.

Ye Chuxiao was embarrassed to bother Eric, and wanted to rent a house by herself, but Eric said that she was not familiar with the place, and it was difficult for her to take care of the child alone. There was a servant at home who could help, and his son came back, so he could just accompany Mi Lier.

He was very persistent, and it was thanks to him that he was able to come here before. Ye Chuxiao couldn't refuse anymore, so he had to take Mi Lier home with him.

The place where Eric's house is located is very quiet, covered by trees on both sides, somewhat like a cloud water pavilion.

Whenever thinking of Yunshui Pavilion, Ye Chuxiao would feel lost. She stopped her thoughts and lowered her head to ask Mi Lier: "Is this place beautiful?"

Mi Lier was also in a daze, and replied gruffly, "This is like our home."

Ye Chuxiao's heart ached and she was speechless.

Eric, who was next to him, took the conversation in a timely manner and shook Mi Lier's hand: "From then on, treat this place as your own home."

At this time, the door opened, and sure enough there was a little boy standing on the steps from a distance looking at them.

After getting out of the car, Eric greeted him: "Jia Lin, come and pick up my aunt and sister."

He walked over, and upon closer inspection, he was of mixed race, with good-looking facial features, elegant and cool.

"Brother." Ye Chuxiao said to Mi Li'er with a smile.

Mi Li'er obediently called "Brother", and he also said "Hello, Auntie", but he didn't respond to the "Brother" and didn't look at Mi Li'er.

Mi Li'er looked at Ye Chuxiao helplessly, and Eric hurriedly said to Jia Lin, "You can't be rude to my sister, you have to play with her more, you understand?"

Jia Lin raised his chin: "I'm a man, I don't like to play with girls."

As soon as this remark came out, Ye Chuxiao couldn't help laughing, and her smile seemed to make Jialin dissatisfied, and she frowned at her.

She smiled awkwardly, but fortunately, the servant came to help with the luggage and diverted her attention.

Eric arranged for them a sunny room on the second floor, which was very warmly furnished, and there were various dolls on the bed, which showed Eric's meticulousness.

Ye Chuxiao was very grateful, and privately told Mi Lier to be good, she was a little wronged: "But my brother doesn't seem to like me."

Thinking of Jialin's performance just now, Ye Chuxiao was actually a little uncertain, but he still comforted her: "That's because you are not familiar with each other, once you are familiar, you will play with me."

But she didn't know that there was a conversation going on in Eric's room at the moment.

"Will this aunt be my new mommy in the future?" Jia Lin asked bluntly.

Eric was taken aback for a moment, and then replied, "Don't make random guesses."

Jia Lin did not give up, but looked at him directly: "But Daddy, except for the later Zhilan's mother, you have never brought other women back here."

Eric was speechless, and after a while, he patted his head: "I don't rule out the possibility of what you just said, but it's not the case now, just treat her as Daddy's friend."

Jia Lin shrugged: "Understood, that is to say, you haven't caught up with Auntie yet."

"Stinky boy, are you a little too precocious?" Eric smiled.

Jia Lin pouted: "In our class, many people already have girlfriends, okay?"

"What about you?" Eric asked casually.

"I don't. I hate girls. They are too delicate and cry a lot." After he finished speaking, he ran out, and Eric sighed helplessly.

When it was time for dinner, Ye Chuxiao came down with Mi Lier in her arms, Eric opened a chair for them, and Jia Lin sat opposite, still looking cool.

Mi Lier timidly tugged at the corner of Ye Chuxiao's clothes, not daring to speak to him.

In order to ease the atmosphere, Ye Chuxiao picked up some dishes for Jia Lin, but unexpectedly he asked someone to change the plate for him right away.

Eric stared at him in embarrassment: "Jia Lin, don't do this."

But he retorted: "Daddy, it's not like you don't know that I never eat anything touched by other people's tableware."

Cleanliness at such a young age?Ye Chuxiao had no choice but to apologize quickly: "I'm sorry Jialin, I don't know..."

"Don't call me Jialin, call me by my full name, Shao Jialin." He looked at her with a hint of provocation in his eyes.

Ye Chuxiao didn't know how she had provoked him, so she was speechless for a while.

Eric, who has always been gentle, now had a serious face. Seeing that he was about to get angry, Ye Chuxiao hurriedly held him back, and persuaded him in a low voice, "Forget it, it's just a child."

Jia Lin glanced at her, said nothing, and ate slowly with the newly replaced tableware.

A meal was finished in an unpleasant atmosphere, Jia Lin went to play in the back, the servant carried the rice grains upstairs, Eric apologized to Ye Chuxiao: "Sorry, this child is with me on weekdays I don’t have much time, so when facing me, I’m always a bit rebellious.”

"It's okay, children can't be naughty." Ye Chuxiao waved her hand, as a parent, she could understand this.

"My ex-wife couldn't understand." Eric looked into the distance and smiled, "When Zhilan and Jialin meet, it's like sparks colliding with the earth, and the family will be turned upside down."

Ye Chuxiao laughed in surprise, and he could probably guess that Zhilan was his third wife.

"Okay, you're tired too, go to bed early, call me if you need anything, I'll be next door to you." Eric pointed to the upstairs room.

"Okay." Ye Chuxiao nodded, said "good night", and turned to go upstairs.

And he stood there, looking at her back for a long time, and then slowly looked away...

For the next two days, Jialin still ignored Ye Chuxiao and the others, and Eric also talked about him in private, but after all, he was educated in the open western style since he was a child, and children have their own personalities, so it is not good to force them too much.

Jialin's going her own way made Eric feel sorry for Ye Chuxiao, but she didn't mind, she just said it would be fine slowly, this kind of empathy made Eric feel more fond of her.But he didn't reveal anything, he knew that she was too tired now and needed a clean rest period, and he didn't want to trouble her any more.

Ye Chuxiao is also really tired, and her heart is full of tiredness. Now, she only hopes to be able to accompany Mi Lier to heal her illness in peace and tranquility. As for the future, she dare not think about it.

Mi Lier is not used to the taste here and doesn't eat much. Ye Chuxiao was afraid that she would not be able to keep up with her nutrition, so she asked the kitchen staff to buy some fresh fish and cook soup for Mi Lier herself.

The stewed soup is full of fragrance, the snow-white fish fillets are thin and clear, the red dates are boiled so glutinous, and the sweetness seeps in, Mi Lier happily drank two bowls in a row.

Ye Chuxiao smiled and picked out the thorns from the fish one by one for her, and then fed them to her. She ate a few slices, and then fed them back to Ye Chuxiao with a spoon: "Mom, you can eat too."

"Mom just ate." Ye Chuxiao pinched her face, out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly caught a glimpse of Jialin standing at the door of the restaurant.

Startled for a moment, she greeted him: "Family..." Thinking of his previous "reminder", she changed her words again: "Shao Jialin, Auntie made fish soup, can I also serve you a bowl?"

Jia Lin's deep amber eyes suddenly seemed uncomfortable, and he pursed his lips: "I don't want to drink." After speaking, he ran away.

"Brother doesn't like us." Mi Lier said in a low voice, Ye Chuxiao coaxed her a few words helplessly, and continued to feed her fish.

Eric came back at dinner time, and Ye Chuxiao brought the fish soup left over to the table, and said to him with a smile, "It's boiled according to our habit, I don't know if it suits your taste."

Eric took a sip and gave her a thumbs up: "It's delicious, I didn't expect you to be so good at cooking."

Ye Chuxiao smiled embarrassedly, Jialin sat across from her, snorted lightly, buried her head in her meal, but quietly raised her eyes in the gap, and glanced at the bowl of milky fish soup.

When Ye Chuxiao found out, he changed his mind, filled a small half bowl, and delivered it to him in person, with a very solemn and modest tone: "Auntie, please help to taste the taste, if there is something wrong, point it out, Auntie, please improve next time."

She was so polite, so it was hard for him to refuse, he drank the bowl of soup "reluctantly", and then said with a grumpy expression: "It's okay."

Ye Chuxiao laughed secretly, filled another half bowl for him calmly, and then returned to her seat.

Jia Lin held back for a while, but finally couldn't resist the temptation and drank up the rest of the soup.

Eric sat opposite and had a panoramic view of the whole process. When he looked at Ye Chuxiao, his eyes were softer...

With the bowl of fish soup as a foreshadowing, Jialin's attitude towards Ye Chuxiao changed a bit, and every time Ye Chuxiao made a small meal for Mi Lier, he would always prepare one for him. He was awkward at first, but He couldn't resist her "humble request", so he had to accept it, lying on the same table with Mi Lier, waiting to sit in a row to eat fruit.

Every time Eric goes home and sees their way of getting along, he finds it funny, and admires Ye Chuxiao's ability to tame this little thorn.

However, the little man's self-esteem was at the mercy of him, so he still didn't want to play with Mi Lier, but Mi Lier was good at entertaining herself. When Ye Chuxiao was cooking, she would sit on the bed, arrange the dolls in a circle, and pretend that they were all They are kindergarten children, and they named them one by one, talking to them and playing games:

"Xiaobai, come and read a nursery rhyme, um...it's that duckling's..."

"Seven little ducklings, cross the river with mother, mother counts, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven..."

She was having fun, when a voice suddenly came from the door: "Idiot."

Mi Lier raised her head and saw Jia Lin leaning against the wall with her arms folded, looking at her with disdain: "It's already been said that there are seven ducklings, why do you need to count one, two, three, four, five, six, seven?"

"Mother Duck, have you seen the ducklings lost?" Mi Lier blinked and answered seriously.

Jia Lin was choked speechless, and finally said "really stupid" unconvinced, and went downstairs.

After a while, Ye Chuxiao came up to pick her up and went downstairs for dinner. She saw Jialin sitting at the edge of the table, and she refused to go there.

"What's wrong?" Ye Chuxiao asked.

"My brother said I was stupid." Mi Li'er flattened her mouth.

Yo, the little girl's self-esteem was also aroused.Ye Chuxiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and deliberately called Jialin: "Auntie's hands hurt so much from cutting vegetables, can you come over and help me hold my sister."

Jia Lin had no choice but to come over reluctantly, stretching out his hand to Mi Li'er.

At Ye Chuxiao's signal, Mi Li'er put her hand in his hand, and Ye Chuxiao excused herself to go to the kitchen and walked away first.

There is a distance from the stairs to the restaurant. Although Mi Lier can walk now, her legs and feet are still not very good, and she walks very slowly.

Jia Lin was obviously impatient, but she still restrained her temper and walked slowly with her.

Ye Chuxiao looked at his frown from the glass door in the distance, and couldn't help smiling. In fact, although this little boy was a bit stubborn, he was still quite kind-hearted.

Since then, she has often "asked" him to take care of Mi Lier.

He is still impatient, and often says that Mi Lier is stupid, but he still takes her for a walk by the pool to practice walking, and sometimes plays ball by himself while Mi Lier watches.

Mi Lier doesn't hold grudges. When she sees him playing well, she will cheer and applaud him, shouting "Brother is awesome".

This kind of admiration greatly satisfied the vanity of a man, and he began to teach her to play basketball hand in hand.

But after all, she was unable to move. After losing the ball, she fell to the ground, knocked her knee, and burst into tears.

He rushed over in a hurry, and complained straight out: "Girls are delicate, and they cry when they get hurt."

Mi Lier looked at him wrongedly, her dark and bright eyes were filled with tears at the moment, looking very pitiful.

He was stunned, and after a while, he wiped her tears with his hands indiscriminately: "Don't cry anymore."

Mi Lier didn't dare to cry anymore, she just sobbed.

He squatted down in front of her: "Come up, I'll carry you on my back."

Mi Lier hesitated to go up.

"Call you up." His tone was impatient again.

Then Mi Li'er slowly climbed onto his back and said, "Brother, I'm afraid you won't be able to carry it on your back."

"Who said I can't carry it?" He said fiercely, but carefully wrapped her hands around his shoulders, then stood up, and carried her into the room and upstairs.

After all, it was a child, such a long journey was still difficult, but he gritted his teeth and persisted, and put her down all the way into the room.

When Ye Chuxiao came out of the kitchen and didn't see them in the field outside, Jia Lin went upstairs to look for them, and Jia Lin apologized to her solemnly, saying that he caused Mi Li'er to fall.

Mi Lier shook her head again and again, saying that she fell by herself and it was none of her brother's business.

Ye Chuxiao couldn't help laughing, no one blamed him, took medicine and applied it to Mi Lier, then went downstairs, just in time to meet Eric who had just returned home, so she whispered about it, and then made a joke: "Looking at their childhood sweethearts like this, I really want to make a baby kiss with you."

Eric's eyes froze, he laughed and said that he went upstairs to see the two children, and walked away with an excuse.

Ye Chuxiao didn't doubt it, and walked briskly back to the kitchen, while Eric stood at the stairs, looked back at her, and sighed softly.

She seemed to be really unaware of her own intentions...

Life in Hong Kong is peaceful. At this time, the wind and rain in Beijing seem to be a little less than before.

Lu Zhengnan had been waiting for the criminal proceedings at home, but the strange thing was that there seemed to be only thunder and no rain at the procuratorate, and there was no movement for a long time.

On this day, Yu Xingyuan called and said that Shiman had gone to pay the rest of the arrears.

"Shiman?" Lu Zhengnan asked back in disbelief, the old man was also surprised beside him.

When something happened, the old man tried to ask Shiman for help, but the phone was always turned off when he called her. He thought she was afraid of being implicated, so he deliberately ignored her, but he didn't expect that she would suddenly behave like this now.

After the call with Yu Xingyuan ended, Lu Zhengnan and the old man sat silently for a long time, and still called Shiman.

When she picked it up, her voice was still lazily as if she hadn't woken up: "What are you doing?"

Lu Zhengnan paused for a moment, and said in a low voice, "The fine... did you help to pay it?"

Shiman let out a "hmm" and said nothing more.

On both ends of the phone, the atmosphere was silent.

Lu Zhengnan was speechless for a moment, and after a while, he said in a low voice: "Thank you."

Shiman leaned against the head of the bed, and there seemed to be something flowing in his eyes, but his tone was still cold and indifferent: "Qi Zhen should not dare to make any big moves for the time being, you should just stay at ease."

Lu Zhengnan was taken aback for a moment, and then asked: "Are you with him..."

"We're divorced." Shiman wrapped his hands around the hanging curls and replied cynically: "Before the divorce, I warned him, and now he must be afraid that I will break the jar and drag him into the water, so he will not act rashly."

Lu Zhengnan put his hand on his forehead, feeling mixed feelings in his heart.

He was full of resentment towards Shiman's previous behavior, especially about Mi Li'er, but he never expected that she would help him again in such a precarious moment.

"You don't need to be grateful to me." Shiman seemed to sense his complicated emotions at the moment, and smiled: "I was just thinking, I'm going to die anyway, and it's useless to keep so much money that can't be spent, let's talk about Qi Zhen He is the person I hate the most in my life. If I don’t plant thorns everywhere, it makes him unhappy, and I feel unhappy. Come on, let’s do it, I’m dead.”

Lu Zhengnan wanted to tell her not to hang up first, but he didn't know what to say when he stopped her, and finally hung up the phone silently, looking at the yard covered with yellow leaves, he was stunned for a long time...

The following days seemed to pass quickly, Mi Lier's body recovered day by day, but Ye Chuxiao became more and more at a loss.

What to do in the future?

During this period of time, she cut off all contact with the outside world, but it was impossible for her to live a lifetime in such isolation.

"Chuxiao." Suddenly, Eric's voice came from behind, and she came back to herself.

Eric walked up to her, and lay down on the balcony with her, looking at Jialin's rice grains playing in the field below, and after a while, asked softly, "What are your plans for the future?"

When Ye Chuxiao was asked about the most melancholy thing, she sighed: "I don't know either."

He paused, and then said: "I have a suggestion, I don't know if you would like it."

"Tell me." Ye Chuxiao nodded.

"You are quite talented in design, it's a pity to waste it. I heard Monica mentioned in a chat before that you switched to design midway, so I think, if you can receive more professional and systematic course training, you will definitely There will be more achievements. Why don’t you just find a good university in Hong Kong and study for a while, what do you think?”

This proposal moved Ye Chuxiao's heart.She really likes the design industry, and it would be great if she could have the opportunity to make great strides.But she still feels sorry for bothering Eric for such a long time.

Eric looked at her hesitant look with clear eyes: "Actually, I also have my own selfishness." He pointed to Jia Lin and sighed: "Do you know why Jia Lin hasn't returned to England after such a long vacation?" ? Actually, his mother is going to remarry, so I hope he will stay in Hong Kong and be taken care of by me. But you know, I usually travel all over the world on business, so I can’t take good care of him. Right now he and Mi Lier get along well. It's so good, and I listen to you, so I'm thinking..."

He looked at Ye Chuxiao, with a request in his tone: "Let my two children go to school here, and you will take care of me in daily life, so I won't have any worries."

A child without a mother is the most pitiful.Ye Chuxiao looked at Jia Lin and felt pity.But she still hesitated to stay in Hong Kong.

"Well, well, this is just my idea, you can think about it." Eric didn't force her to make a decision immediately, smiled gently, and went downstairs to play with the children.

Ye Chuxiao stood on the balcony for a while, then returned to the room, staring blankly at the mobile phone lying under the glass of the dressing table.

In order to hide from Qi Zhen, it has been a long time since I turned it on, but in the phone book, besides the people she hates, there are also her friends, and... the people she loves.

Really just say goodbye to the previous life and start from scratch?

she does not know.

At night, when she and Mi Lier went to bed, Mi Lier was chattering, with "Brother Jialin" on the left and "Brother Jialin" on the right, very happy.

She was stunned for a long time, and asked her, "Mi Lier, do you like living here?"

"I like it." Mi Li'er smiled with eyes like crescent moons: "There is a brother here, and Uncle Eric, I like them both."

"Then you..." Ye Chuxiao hesitated for a long time, and lowered his voice: "Don't you want Dad?"

Mi Lier was stunned, and after a while, she shook her head slightly: "I also miss two fathers, but they will make my mother cry."

Ye Chuxiao's heart trembled suddenly, and she hugged her tightly...

After coaxing Mi Lier to sleep, she couldn't fall asleep herself. After tossing and turning for a long time, she finally got up quietly and went downstairs with her mobile phone.

Sitting by the pool, she dipped her bare feet into the water, feeling the coolness from the soles of her feet. She looked up at the stars in the sky, stared blankly for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to turn on her phone.

Text messages popped up one after another, most of which were sent by Qi Zhen. From the temptation to suppress his temper at the beginning, to the threat that became angry at the end, Qi Zhen obviously hated her to the extreme now.

Secondly, it was sent by Shen Ya and Monica, asking her why she kept shutting down the phone and never replying.

There are also various weather forecasts, news pictures and the like.

After reading one by one, there was no Lu Zhengnan.

The only thing is, without him, there is not even a single word, even if you ask, is it okay?

She closed her eyes and smiled wryly, her feet shook slightly twice, and the cold water splashed on her knees, feeling a little cold.

My heart is also cold.

After sitting for a long time, she finally returned a text message to Shen Ya and Monica, only saying that everything was fine, and told them not to worry about it.

After pressing send, she was about to get up and go back to the room, but her foot slipped and she almost fell down. Thanks to her grabbing the railing next to her, she barely stabilized her body, but the phone still fell out of her hand and fell into the water.

Seeing the water surface swaying and the phone sinking to the bottom like that, Ye Chuxiao stood by the pool in a daze, feeling sad and desolate in his heart.

Could this be God's will?
Let her bid farewell to the past, to the person who still hurts when she thinks about it until now.

Step by step, she turned and left, leaving the blurred and cold night, and walking into the warm dim light...
