The old man's collapse and hospitalization was not deliberately concealed. The news spread like wildfire, and people came to the hospital to visit him in an endless stream.

However, it is unknown how many of them are sincere.

Not far from the hospital, there is a shopping plaza. The Starbucks coffee shop on the second floor is filled with fragrant fragrance. A stern man is sitting by the window, with a pair of deep eyes, through the bright and clean He opened the floor-to-ceiling windows and looked indifferently at the pedestrians moving downstairs.

An exaggerated red sports car drove in, exuding brilliance under the dazzling sunshine. In just a few seconds, the sports car had already slid down the lane next to it and into the underground parking lot.

Ruan Haosheng calmly withdrew his gaze, took the coffee on the table and took a sip gently.

There was also a cup of hot milk tea and a chocolate mousse on the table, quietly placed beside them.

When Lei Li led Shen Qiqi into the coffee shop, he almost saw the distinguished man by the window at a glance. The sunlight filtered in slightly from the window, coating his body with gold. Looking from a distance, he actually As beautiful as a god, unattainable.

Shen Qiqi thought she was mentally prepared, but when she saw Ruan Haosheng for the first time, the heart in her chest still jumped involuntarily, thump, thump...

"Oh, it's so leisurely..." Lei Li muttered and scratched his messy hair, causing the waiter next to him to whisper.

Lei Li took the lead and walked over, twirling the sports car key on his index finger. He was not polite at all, pulled out the chair and sat down directly.

However, when he saw the milk tea and mousse on the table, our Master Lei finally couldn't help but complain.

"Is there any mistake? I'm busy here for you like a dog, but you are so good, you simply don't remember how good I am!" Lei Li hummed, raised his eyes, and looked at his good friend Ruan Haosheng.

However, they ignored him at all. From the moment Shen Qiqi walked into the coffee shop and left, Ruan Haosheng's eyes had been falling on the girl.

His eyes were hard to understand and very deep, which made Shen Qiqi's eyes pierce.

With Lei Li behind him, Shen Qiqi didn't dare to sit down, she just lowered her head and frowned tightly.

"Uncle..." She whispered, feeling a little helpless and embarrassed.

Ruan Haosheng did not answer her. Instead, he withdrew his gaze and turned to Lei Li.

"When is the due date?" he asked, his voice slow and low, like a plucked cello, spreading into people's hearts.

"Um..." Lei Li was startled for a moment. For some reason, he couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Shen Qiqi behind him. Then he turned back to look at Ruan Haosheng and said, "The due date is August 15th. It’s still early!”

Ruan Haosheng nodded and remained silent for a moment.

Lei Li suddenly stood up, turned around and said to the girl who was stuck on the spot: "Little girl, I thought I saw an ice cream vendor on the first floor just now. Go buy me one!"

"Ah!" Shen Qiqi suddenly raised his head and looked at Lei Li in surprise.

Is there ice cream to buy on the first floor? Why didn’t she see it...

"Uh... go ahead and buy me one. I want the strawberry flavored one." Lei Li patted the girl's shoulder gently. Seeing that Shen Qiqi didn't move, he suddenly remembered that the girl had no money, so he took out his wallet. , took out a piece of Mao Zedong and handed it to her, saying: "Remember, I want the strawberry flavor!"

As a grown man, are you ashamed to eat something with strawberry flavor?

Shen Qiqi wrinkled her nose. Although she was a little reluctant, she still reluctantly took the money and glanced at Ruan Haosheng secretly. However, seeing that the man had no reaction, she turned around and walked out.

Lei Li kept looking at Shen Qiqi's back until he saw the girl's figure disappearing in front of Starbucks, then he turned around and sat back down.

When he looked up, he saw Ruan Haosheng staring at the door, looking thoughtful.

"Tsk, tsk!" Lei Li couldn't help but shake his head when he saw this, looking very helpless, and then he continued: "I'm not telling you, since you can't let go, why bother to be so harsh!"

"Huh?" Ruan Haosheng came back to his senses and raised his eyes to look at him.

Seeing his friend's careless look, Lei Li went crazy: "Originally, I was supposed to be kissing my wife and hugging my son in the warm bed. If it hadn't been for your call, would I have been so exhausted? You, you, you are still here now. I'm so lost in thought, I'm not doing anything wrong!"

When I think of myself not being with my wife and son this morning, Lei Li feels as uncomfortable as a crawling worm!

After hearing Lei Li's tearful complaint, Ruan Haosheng frowned slightly, and after a moment, he said solemnly: "Thank you for what happened today."

"Okay, okay, we two still need to say thank you." Lei Li waved his hand, then looked at his friend curiously and asked: "What happened between you and that girl? Tsk, it's really not me who said that, You didn't go to the scene just now, otherwise if you saw it, you would be heartbroken to death!"

Hearing this, Ruan Haosheng couldn't help but frown more tightly: "What's wrong?"

Ruan Haosheng holds military power and has high prestige, so when Shen Qiqi ran away from home, considering some special reasons, he had to ask Lei Li to help him.

Although Lei Li was a diplomat in the past, he knew many people in society because he was good at communication. The person following Shen Qiqi this time was the candidate provided by Lei Li.

In fact, although Ruan Haosheng was a little ruthless in today's matter, he was not worried about what would happen to this girl Shen Qiqi. After all, there were powerful people following her, so there would be no big trouble. .

This is why Ruan Haosheng seemed calm from beginning to end, because he already knew that there would be nothing wrong with that girl!

"That girl actually stayed with two begging mothers and daughters. When I rushed over to help, alas, the girl was so helpless and pitiful, with several useless bank notes in her hands. Ka, when you see me, it's like seeing the great savior, alas, it makes me feel bad even when I see it!" Lei Li said, sighing and shaking his head, like Shen Qiqi seemed to have really suffered a huge grievance.

Ruan Haosheng was still sitting very steadily, but his expression had become much worse.

There was a vague anger all over his body, and there was a heavy mist between his brows and eyes.

"Bring me the surveillance video then." He pursed his lips and remained silent for a while, then said this coldly.

Ruan Haosheng knew about Shen Qiqi and the begging mother and daughter, but he only knew the general process of what happened in the fashion store, but he didn't know about some details!

However, later, when the man watched the video recording sent by Lei Li, when he saw the treasure he held in his hands, groveling again and again, his heart felt like a knife, and it hurt so much...

"Haosheng, I'm not talking about you, between you and that girl..." Lei Li stopped talking only halfway through his words, shook his head, looking a little lazy, he paused and then Said: "If my wife hadn't told me once, I really wouldn't have noticed it... Well, actually it's right to think about it. How can there be an uncle in this world who is so good to his niece..."

Lei Li always knew that Ruan Haosheng loved Shen Qiqi, but he didn't think too deeply about it. If it weren't for Yao Xiuer's unintentional words, I'm afraid he wouldn't be so calm now!

He had always liked to think about it before, you said Ruan Haosheng is a typical man at the peak of power, and he is extremely handsome! But after so many years, he has never seen a woman beside him!

Now, Lei Li has finally figured it out. Daqing, this girl is just protecting that little girl!

"Pfft..." Thinking of this, Lei Li couldn't help laughing. He looked up at the stern man in front of him, shook his head and said: "I said, what kind of age is this? There are still people who are willing to keep themselves as jade for so many years. Hao Sheng , you really impressed me!"

As soon as he said these words, a sharp and piercing gaze suddenly came over, like the moment a sharp sword was unsheathed, with murderous intent!

Lei Li shivered and touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed.

"I don't care what others think of me, but I will never tolerate others criticizing me!" Ruan Haosheng said in a calm voice. Only when Shen Qiqi was not around could Lei Li see such a cold and cruel friend.

Also, since Ruan Haosheng has been able to gallop on the battlefield for so many years, with countless military exploits and prestige, and at such a young age he can make everyone surrender willingly, without ambition or cruelty, how could he possibly do it?!

It's just that this man's palace is too deep and he is too able to hide. In front of Shen Qiqi, he restrained all sharpness, but showed his tenderness without hesitation, giving the girl an illusion, an illusion that has been immersed in for ten years. hallucination!

However, Lei Li can understand!

Ruan Haosheng has experienced many bloody battles and experienced many things, which has resulted in his cold and perverse temperament. In addition, he holds too much power, so a man like him cannot have the so-called kindness and gentleness at all. !

And precisely because of this, Ruan Haosheng's tenderness was too little. He gave almost all of it to Shen Qiqi, leaving only indifference to others!

The girl quickly came back with an ice cream in her hand, yellow ice cream.

"Uncle Lei, there is no more strawberry flavor, only mango flavored ice cream!" Shen Qiqi said as she handed the ice cream in her hand to Lei Li.

When Lei Li saw Shen Qiqi coming back, he couldn't help but let out a big sigh of relief. Then he immediately jumped up from his chair and carefully took the ice cream from the girl's hand. He just looked at the yellow circle around the cone. Color ice cream, a little depressed: "This...why does it look a bit like an object..."

"Does it look like poop?" Shen Qiqi blinked and said it straightforwardly.

He was sweating profusely and suddenly lost his appetite.

"It's okay, the mango flavor is pretty good too." Shen Qiqi looked down at the ice cream in Lei Li's hand and said, "I walked a long way to buy you ice cream!"

Lei Li's words were simply not believable. She almost ran all over the first floor of the shopping mall, but she didn't see any one selling ice cream. Later, she asked the person at the service desk and found out that ice cream was only sold on the top floor.

So, she took the elevator to the top floor again.

Going back and forth, going in such a big circle, it hurt her terribly!

"Thank you for your hard work, thank you for your hard work..." Lei Li nodded. In fact, he didn't want to eat any ice cream at all, just to send Shen Qiqi away.

"Try it." Shen Qiqi didn't care much. He raised his chin and signaled Lei Li to take a bite.

Lei Li felt a little painful. He looked at the ice cream that looked like poop. He reluctantly took a sip. He was about to open his mouth to say something, but he felt that another line of sight was a little scary. When he reached his mouth, the words suddenly changed to another sentence.

"I'd better go home and be with my wife..." After saying that, he took the ice cream and walked quickly to the door of the cafe.

"Hey, Uncle Lei..." Shen Qiqi saw Lei Li leaving and thought that the change for buying ice cream had not been returned to him yet, so she started to chase him.

"My dear..." A deep male voice suddenly came, causing her to stop abruptly.

Shen Qiqi originally wanted to deliberately ignore this feeling, but now, she realized that this was simply impossible!

"Come here!" Ruan Haosheng's voice paused for a moment, and then came again, with a gentle tone that was not strong.

Shen Qiqi turned around and looked directly at him with a pair of black eyes.

Ruan Haosheng was also looking at her, his eyes were very dark and deep.

Shen Qiqi hesitated a little, but finally raised his feet and walked over slowly.

She originally wanted to sit opposite the man, where Lei Li had been sitting before, but when she saw the milk tea and mousse next to her, she naturally knew who they were for!

Pursing her lips, she finally chose to sit on the chair next to the man, right in front of the milk tea and mousse.

Ruan Haosheng was very satisfied, and raised his hand to touch the girl's head, but found that her body was very stiff, and even her expression was as determined as a soldier going to die!

"Uncle..." Shen Qiqi spoke first to break the silence between the two. She turned her head, looked at him with a pair of big black and bright eyes, raised her finger to point to the food on the table, and continued: "Can I eat it? "

This... sounds strange no matter how you hear it!

How could the little boy in the past talk to him so politely?

Ruan Haosheng's expression suddenly turned bad, but he still nodded reluctantly and said, "It was originally prepared for you."

Shen Qiqi nodded, obediently leaned over the table, picked up the small spoon next to her and started eating. She didn't eat very fast, taking small bites after small bites, but she looked a bit polite.

This is completely different from the previous devouring food!

Ruan Haosheng felt more and more that something was wrong with this girl. He frowned, but did not speak. He just watched her eating silently, with the look in his eyes becoming more and more complicated and unpredictable.
