Chapter 43 43
Lin Xiyu had a lot of things in her heart that she wanted to say to Lu Junting, but she never found a suitable opportunity. She felt that now was the right time. When she knew that he still cared about her, they could talk calmly.
Lin Xiyu adjusted his breath and said directly to him: "Brother Junting, I know all about you helping my family pay off the debt, and I also know that you have paid my tuition and living expenses for these years, thank you."
Lu Junting was waiting for her to return the clothes, and he would probably say something like "you don't need to give me clothes". Anyway, whether he was intentional or not, she didn't care. He took out the documents to read, and waited for her to return them. When it comes to clothes, there is a slight squeak. But she didn't expect her to say this when she opened her mouth.
Lu Junting was surprised, how did she know about this? So this period of time has changed his attitude towards him because of this matter, not because he can get along with the child more, but because he is grateful to him?
Lin Xiyu continued: "I'm sorry Brother Jun Ting, I didn't know about this before. Before the divorce, I knew that Brother Jun Ting lied to me and gave birth to a child, and I had a grudge in my heart, so I didn't care about your divorce, and I only found out about you later. Helping my family to pay off the debt, I thought about it carefully, you lied to me to give birth to a child, is it wrong, but you helped me pay off the debt, you paid me to go to school and let me live, you are also my benefactor to me My gratitude to you far exceeds my hatred for you, so I don't want to care about the things you lied to me at the beginning, and I choose to forgive the things in the past."
Don't care? Don't care that he lied to her? Just because of that 10 million? He still remembered that he had just taken over Changheng at that time, his position had not yet been firmly established, and he was restrained in many ways when he acted in the company. It was indeed not easy for him to get the more than 10 million yuan back then, but now it seems that the money is still spent. It's worth it.
He probably never thought that one day he would hear the word "forgiveness" from her mouth, so when he heard her words suddenly, his brain couldn't work for a while, and he didn't know how to react, so he just put it on the table. His hands clenched subconsciously to calm down the violent ups and downs.
After Lin Xiyu finished speaking, she didn't wait for his response for a long time. She secretly looked at his expression. His expression didn't change much. His dark eyes were too deep and sophisticated to make people see through.
Originally, she made up her mind to say these words, so when he stared at her like this, she gradually became uneasy, her heartbeat speeded up a little bit under his direct gaze, and the shyness of being stared at by him made her cheeks start to start. Hot, she lowered her head slightly, thinking to herself, why doesn't he speak?
"So...you forgive me, and then..."
His voice came suddenly.
"That..." Lin Xiyu rubbed her palms nervously, but still didn't dare to look at his face, "Actually, I think...if Brother Jun Ting also has the will, or..." She took a peek at his expression, "Shall we remarry?"
Lu Junting: "..."
The weather is not very good today. It was already foggy outside at noon, and it was about to rain. But Lu Junting felt that his eyes suddenly lit up, the clouds cleared and the fog dispersed, and suddenly the sky was clear.
"Let's remarry."
What is she talking about, she actually proposed to remarry him?
Lu Junting has never been a person who accepts his fate. He is accustomed to taking everything in his own hands. He knows calculations and is good at guessing people's hearts, but when she was desperate to divorce him, he didn't think about it.
From that day on, he had a feeling of being knocked to the ground by fate, and for the first time he believed in such things.
The last person she wanted to marry was him.
She never liked him.
This matter seems to be doomed from the beginning, they are not from the same world, and he and she seem to be doomed not to be together.
So this year, there have been a lot of unwillingness, but he still wants to understand a lot of things, some things, really can't be forced.
He didn't even have expectations, so he was very conservative in the face of her sudden change in attitude, because he understood that it was not because of him, and he also knew that she would not come back to him again.
But now, she said she wanted to remarry him.
I can't describe the mood at the moment, it's like suddenly brightening up in the cloudy weather, and there is a clear sky in front of me. But even though his mood was complicated, years of polishing still made him calm and comfortable.
Even those dark eyes didn't have much emotion, just looked at her like this.
He didn't make a statement for a long time, and Lin Xiyu didn't know what he thought. She also knew that her sudden statement like this might make people feel abrupt. After all, she was so cruel to others before the divorce.
Lin Xiyu wanted to give himself a step down, so he turned to him again: "Brother Jun Ting, don't rush to answer me, you can think about it, and tell me when you think about it, no matter what answer Brother Jun Ting gives me, I will accepted."
Lu Junting: "..."
"Also... no matter what answer Jun Ting gives me, I thank you for helping my family pay off the debt."
"..."
His silence embarrassed Lin Xiyu, she laughed dryly and said, "Then, I'll go first, Brother Jun Ting is busy."
Lin Xiyu left in a hurry, and after walking out of Changheng, he found that he was still holding Lu Junting's clothes. Now it would be embarrassing to fold it up and give it back to him. Just take it first, take his clothes, at least there will be one in the future. The reason for the meeting to return the clothes.
Lu Junting just sat on the chair like this, with his elbows on the table and his palms on his forehead, his expression was covered by the nodding gesture, but a suppressed laughter overflowed from his mouth.
I don't know how long it took, Lu Junting glanced at the sky sideways, a crack was broken in the sky, and a bright halo emerged from the crack, as if the sun was really about to come out.
After Lin Xiyu went back, she washed and ironed Lu Junting's clothes, hung them on the balcony, and stared at his clothes for a while. She felt that his clothes were just like his. After a while, she felt her heart beat faster and her cheeks became hot. Lin Xiyu hurriedly patted his chest and closed the balcony door.
Sitting on the sofa, she was still uneasy, and she rashly mentioned remarriage to him, not knowing whether Lu Junting would agree.
Lin Xiyu's cell phone rang suddenly. She picked it up and glanced at it. It was Lu Junting who called. After the divorce, the two still kept each other's phone numbers, but they just lay quietly in their cell phones, and no one called them for nearly a year. moved.
This was the first time that Lu Junting had called her after a year. Although she had only told him about remarriage, her attitude towards him had improved, but every time he heard a beep on the phone, his breathing followed. Slow down.
On the other hand, he picked up the phone after a few rings. The moment he picked up the phone, Lu Junting's tense heart relaxed a little.
I don't know what happened. Lin Xiyu was inexplicably nervous when she saw Lu Junting's call. She just mentioned to him about remarriage and he called. Lin Xiyu was uneasy, whether he would refuse to remarry her, after all she left. when so decisive.
So she adjusted for a while before picking up, "Brother Junting?"
Because of her nervousness, Lin Xiyu felt that her tone was a little unnatural.
"You pack up, I'll pick you up this afternoon."
"..."
"Don't you want to remarry? Don't want to live with us?"
"No, no." Lin Xiyu responded hurriedly.
"I'm busy first, see you in the afternoon."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Xiyu was still confused. Does he want to pick her up and go back to live? She felt very sudden, so he promised to remarry her?
Lin Xiyu was sitting in the living room, the more she thought about it, the more incredible it became, she couldn't help laughing, and she laughed so hard.
Lu Junting didn't put the child in the company today. Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu wanted to have a grandson. They sent someone to pick up the Lu family early in the morning, so Lu Junting went directly to the Lu family to pick up the child after get off work.
Lu Junting carried his son into the car, glanced at his bulging belly, and asked, "What are you eating? Your belly is so big?"
Child Lu Chengsuba thought for a while and said, "I ate the bao and crabs."
"Thank you for what?"
"It's just a lot of legs."
"Crab?"
"Um."
Lu Junting reached out and touched his belly, which was bulging. He said, "Why do you eat so much?" He squeezed his face again, tender and sensual, "You still eat when you are so fat."
Hearing this, the little guy was immediately unhappy, "The baby is not fat."
Lu Junting was in a good mood today and deliberately teased him. He touched his belly again, "What is it that you are not fat?"
Child Lu Chengsuba angrily opened his father's hand, pouted his mouth so high, and said dissatisfiedly, "Baby is cute, not fat. Mom said that baby is cute."
When Lu Junting heard her mention his mother, he was in a better mood, and his eyes were even more tender. He said, "Okay, your mother is cute when she says she is cute."
"Humph."
The little guy snorted heavily, folded his arms and turned his face to the side, and even played a small temper with him. Lu Junting suddenly remembered that Lin Xiyu was like this when he was a child, and turned his face to the side when he was angry.
Really... what kind of mother has what kind of cub.
Lu Junting thought his son's little appearance was cute, he squeezed his little fleshy face and said, "Let's go pick up your mother."
As soon as the child heard to pick up his mother, he immediately lost his anger and looked at him with bright eyes, "Pick up mother?"
"Yes, take your mother home?"
"Arrived at Dad's house?"
"Well, it's coming to Dad's house."
"yeah!"
He raised his little fat hand to his head and shook his fat legs a few times. This is the usual posture for children when they are happy.
Lu Junting looked at his son and thought, how can he be so cute, how can his little cub be so cute?
Lin Xiyu packed a large box, and not long after he finished packing, he heard someone knocking on the door. Lin Xiyu opened the door and saw a tall and a short father and son standing at the door.
"Mother."
Xiao Cheng Subaru let out a happy cry, and ran over with his short legs and hugged her legs.
Lin Xiyu picked him up and kissed his face, "Is the baby here too?"
Good baby nodded heavily, "Well, pick up mom."
Lu Junting watched his son face her mother and kiss him with a good attitude, unlike when he kissed him, he disliked him so much, and secretly wiped the place he had kissed when he couldn't see it.
In the year of the divorce, he was a dutiful father, but he was still no match for his mother, who ran over with a smile.
With a very complicated mood, Lu Junting silently served as his porter, and especially consciously brought the big box out without complaint.
Lin Xiyu was stunned for a moment and asked, "Brother Jun Ting didn't bring an assistant?"
Lu Junting didn't turn his head back and dragged the big box forward, "No."
The family of three got into the car, and Lin Xiyu looked at the assistant sitting in the cab. He obviously brought the assistant, so why did he help her carry the boxes in person? Lu Junting has been used to being pampered since he was a child, and there are people who help with the trivial matters of life. He didn't expect that he would also do the rough work of helping her carry boxes.
When she got home, Lu Junting helped her move the box into the house again. He asked, "Where do you put the box for you?"
Lin Xiyu was taken aback by this question. If he wanted to live with her, he wouldn't have asked, but it seemed a bit awkward to have the same room as soon as they got married.
Lin Xiyu said, "put me in my room first."
Lu Junting didn't say anything, and silently lifted the box up.
The whole family eats dinner together. Lu Chengsuba's children can eat by themselves and practice with chopsticks and spoons, but the movements are a little clumsy, and Lin Xiyu occasionally helps him.
Lu Junting looked at the mother and son sitting opposite him. The little girl was helping the little boy to wipe off the rice particles stuck to the corners of his mouth. He was suddenly in a trance, as if nothing had changed from before the divorce. Everything seemed so warm, but he felt Some are not real.
But now that she's back, even if she can't go back to the time when they lived in harmony as husband and wife, it's better than if she doesn't have eyes on him and the baby.
When Lu Junting lowered his head to eat, the corner of his mouth tickled unconsciously.
It was at this moment that Lu Junting's cell phone rang. It was a call from Mrs. Lu.
"What are you doing?" Mrs. Lu asked.
"Have a meal."
"How do you think about what I told you last time? Take action as soon as possible."
What else could Mrs. Lu tell him, but to urge him to chase his daughter-in-law back.
Lu Junting glanced at the little girl opposite who had decided to remarry him, and was about to explain the situation truthfully, but before he could speak, Mrs. Lu said in an indignant tone: "You don't think about yourself, you think anyway. I want to inherit Subaru, if you don’t chase it back while you’re still a little hot, wait a few more years, all your feelings will fade away, and your daughter-in-law will fly away if you fly away. I’ll tell you the truth today. Now, if you don't chase after Subaru's mother, you will come back obediently and have a blind date."
Why is the old lady worrying again, Lu Junting frowned and said, "What am I dating?"
The old lady Lu said, "Then you can't be a bachelor all your life, can you? I still have a few years left to live, so can't you make me feel at ease?"
"Okay, old lady, Xixi and I have decided to remarry."
The old lady Lu fell into a strange silence. After a long time, she laughed in surprise, but the voice didn't hold back, which startled Lu Junting.
"Are you serious?"
"What did I lie to you for?"
"When did it happen?"
"I'll tell you in detail later, I want to eat now."
As soon as Mrs. Lu was in a good mood, she was very talkative and hurriedly said, "Alright, alright, you eat first."
Lu Junting put the phone aside, vaguely aware that the atmosphere was not right, he glanced at the opposite, but saw that the little girl was eating with her head down, Xiao Cheng Subaru had a big mouthful of rice in his mouth, his cheeks were bulging, and he was slowing down at the moment. Tun Tun pouted, staring at him with big eyes without blinking.
Lu Junting said angrily, "What do I do? Eat yours."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the little girl who was eating suddenly stop moving. Lu Junting frowned, and immediately reflected on it. The words just now seemed to be a little harsher?
Did she think he was murdering the child? Would you like to explain?
Lin Xiyu grabbed the food and didn't look at him, she just said casually, "We've only been divorced for a year, is Brother Junting so anxious to find a stepmother for Cheng Subaru?"
Lu Junting: "..."
What are you looking for a stepmother? What's the mess?
The little meat dumplings wrapped the bulging cheeks of rice, and didn't chew it anymore. The round eyes stared straight at him, and didn't know if understood the fucking words.
Lu Junting said, "It's nothing like that."
Lin Xiyu said, "Didn't you all talk about blind dates?"
Lu Junting didn't want his daughter-in-law to be misunderstood as soon as he came back. He was about to explain, but saw Lu Chengsubaru, who had been staring at his father, suddenly frowned and said with a serious face, "No stepmother."
His son's tone like a little adult made Lu Junting amused. Does this little brat know what a stepmother is? He wrapped a mouthful of rice and couldn't speak clearly. Seeing his father looking over, he repeated with a serious face, "Don't want a stepmother, want a mother."
Lu Junting held back a smile and said, "It's alright, I know, Rory is sloppy, there's no stepmother. I've taught you how many times you don't have food in your mouth before you talk."
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw the little guy's mouth deflated, his little fleshy face suddenly aggrieved, his big eyes flickering, and crystal tears soon filled his eyes.
Seeing this, Lin Xiyu hurriedly picked him up from the chair and put him in her arms. She held his face and comforted him, "What's wrong? It's alright, let's have dinner first, shall we?"
The little guy threw himself into his mother's arms and hugged his mother tightly. He started to cry, and while crying, he said, "I want my mother, not my stepmother. I want my mother."
Lu Junting frowned and said, "Didn't I say I don't have a stepmother? Why are you still crying?"
He probably didn't know that when he got serious, his tone became very serious, so when he heard what he said, the baby cried even more sadly.
Lu Junting: "..."
Even the child misunderstood, Lu Junting was afraid that the child would also misunderstand, he added, "I don't have any blind date."
Lin Xiyu nodded, "Okay, I see."
After she finished speaking, she hurriedly comforted Gubao, "Okay, Cheng Subaru will stop crying, there will be no stepmother, you only have a mother, as long as your mother is there, you will not have a stepmother." Lin Xiyu held up his son's face. , to help him wipe away his tears, "Okay, let's eat first. Don't cry while eating, or your stomach will hurt."
The little guy swallowed and nodded, but still twitched.
Lu Junting originally wondered if he hadn't explained it clearly, and was about to explain it again, when he just heard this sentence,
"As long as your mother is around, you won't have a stepmother." It sounds like it's just like giving him one, as long as she's around, she can stop him from finding other women.
Of course, he also knew that these words were to comfort Cheng Subaru, but because of these words, he imagined how she would stop him from finding a woman. Although it was just a fantasy, inexplicably, his mood suddenly became very happy.
In the evening, Lin Xiyu and Gubao slept together. Gubao was very happy and played with her until very late before falling asleep. Before falling asleep, Gubao hugged Lin Xiyu tightly and said to her sleepily: "Mom has been staying at Dad's house. OK?"
Lin Xiyu laughed and said, "Okay."
Lin Xiyu slept in Cheng Subaru's room at night. Lu Junting got up early the next morning and passed by the room and saw that the door was open and no one was inside. The mother and son didn't know where they were going.
Lu Junting was about to go downstairs to ask for a nanny. As soon as he walked down the stairs, he saw the mother and son coming back from the backyard, and saw that the mother and son were each carrying a basket in their hands. Lin Xiyu's basket was larger, and the little guy's basket was a mini version.
Seeing him coming down, Lin Xiyu said, "Darling wants to eat strawberry pie. I saw that the strawberries in the backyard were ripe, so I brought him to pick some."
After one night, the little guy forgot about the last night because his father was looking for his stepmother to cry and cry angrily. The small body held a small basket and said to him, "Make strawberry pie, will Dad eat it?"
His eyes lit up, with an innocent smile on his face, Lu Junting couldn't help but soften his expression when he saw his son, and said, "Eat."
Strawberry pie is very complicated. You have to make jam, knead the dough, and finally bake it. Lin Xiyu is afraid that Gu Bao will be burned and let him go out to play.
She made the strawberry pie and didn't see anyone. When she looked into the yard, she saw Gu Bao running and playing with a windmill in the backyard, and Lu Junting was sitting under the pergola not far away.
There is a pergola with pumpkin racks in the backyard, which she made before her divorce. After the marriage, the backyard is still the same as when she left. The vegetables and fruits are still there, so the pergola is naturally there.
At this time, Lu Junting was sitting under the pergola, with a cup of tea placed on the stone table of the pergola, enjoying the cold and drinking tea. A leisurely Saturday afternoon passed like this.
Lin Xiyu walked forward with the ready-made strawberry pie, and when he got closer, he found that Lu Junting was leaning on the chair with his eyes closed, and he didn't know if he was asleep.
Lin Xiyu lightened up, sat down on another chair, and put the strawberry pie on the stone table. She glanced at Gubao, who was spinning the windmill and having fun. Lin Xiyu was afraid that calling him would affect Lu Junting's sleep, so she simply Come back to eat when he gets tired.
Today's weather is very good, late spring, the weather is warm enough, the surrounding is filled with the fragrance of grass and trees, and yellow flowers are exploding on the pumpkin shed.
There were only Lu Junting and Lin Xiyu in the pergola. At this time, with his eyes closed, his aura of keeping strangers away was much lighter, and Lin Xiyu was able to look at him boldly.
His face looked a little tired, and his eye sockets were a little blue, as if he had not rested too well. Having to work and take care of children is really tiring.
Lu Junting's hands were casually placed on the armrest of the chair, his fingers were slender and knuckles clearly defined, Lin Xiyu stared at the fingers, vaguely feeling that the hands seemed to be thinner than before.
Only when he is asleep can he get so close to him. She remembered that these fingers were not so thin before. Thinking of the man who stood downstairs at dusk that day, he was depressed and depressed, and now she looks at his hands again, It's like my heart has been pierced. He was hugged from behind by these hands that day, and his hoarse and low voice came over, "Xixi, I love you, I really love you, I can't live without you."
It was also these hands that neatly signed the divorce agreement with her.
How disappointed was it that she decided to divorce her after she kept her in a low voice.
A gust of wind blew, and her heart seemed to be disturbed. She subconsciously reached out and held his fingers with the palm of her hand. The gaffe under the confusion, she quickly came back to her senses, suddenly realized what she had done, and suddenly looked up, he was still leaning on the chair with his eyes closed.
Lin Xiyu carefully put his fingers down again, lowered his voice, got up and ran towards Good Treasure.
It wasn't until he ran away that Lu Junting slowly opened his eyes. He looked down at his finger, and it took a few seconds for the finger to move subconsciously as if in response.
She actually... touched his hand?
