"What can't be said over the phone?" Lin Yichen sneered, "Nian Nian has already taken care of Yu Bao all night, what else does Mr. Lu want?"
"I didn't think anything of it."
Lu Shiqian refused to give in, "But Nian Nian's stomach is not very good, so I have to finish breakfast before leaving. It happens that... I don't have Mr. Lin's pair of chopsticks."
Both sides insisted on their own opinions, and the scene was comparable to a debate.
Yao Bao was really enjoying watching it and almost wanted to move a small stool to sit next to it. In fact, he did just that. He ran over and brought a doll stool from the living room and sat on the opposite side.
The three adults turned back at the same time, looking at his movements in a daze.
Yao Bao waited with his big eyes confused, "Aren't you going to say anything?"
The corner of Gu Nian's mouth twitched, but she didn't intend to respond to this nonsense. She squatted directly in front of him and said softly: "Mommy, go back today. You should be good, you know?"
She blinked at the little guy, meaning that she would definitely find a way to take him out of here as soon as possible!
"I know, Mommy." Yaobao smiled sweetly, and his cute appearance was better than the rising sun outside.
Gu Nian stood up and looked at Lu Shiqian who had not yet come to his senses, "Mr. Lu... I will go back today. If anything else happens to Yu Bao... you can call me again."
Lin Yichen looked at the woman walking towards him, the smugness in his eyes immediately revealed, and he looked provocatively at Lu Shiqian, who had not recovered yet.
Lu Shiqian was almost hurt internally by his anger.
"Nian Nian..." His voice was aggrieved and a little unwilling, and he stretched out his hand subconsciously.
Gu Nian just smiled apologetically, then turned around and left with Lin Yichen without any intention of lingering.
Lu Shiqian stood there, his raised hand still in the air, and saw the backs of the two people leaving neatly, feeling extremely lonely.
Yao Bao looked over from his angle, just in time to see Zha Daddy's helplessly trembling fingers, and suddenly felt that Zha Daddy was a little pitiful.
The scumbag dad used to bully others, but now he has been chasing mommy for so long, but he has not even made any progress... Why is it so embarrassing to say it out loud?
But forget it, seeing how pitiful he was, Yao Bao's sparkling eyes flickered, and he rarely said a few sarcastic words.
Lin Yichen and Gu Nian went downstairs and got into their respective cars.
Gu Nian fastened his seat belt, and the man in the driver's seat stepped on the accelerator, making a muffled sound.
Lin Yichen drove the vehicle onto the road. The tall trees on both sides of the road cast shadows that flickered on the man's bottomless eyes.
Gu Nian thought that what happened last night was just over and over, so she didn't mention it again.
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Yichen spoke quietly.
"Nian Nian, what did you think about the matter before?"
"Huh?" Gu Nian turned her head and glanced at him. She didn't know what he was talking about for a while. It took her a while to wake up... Was he talking about the marriage?
"sorry."
This time she said directly without hesitation: "I am very grateful for your help, but I remember that I have made it clear to you."
She couldn't use this to deceive him.
And her blessings to Lin Yichen are sincere. She hopes more than anyone else that this man can find his own happiness, so that he can feel at ease.
Lin Yichen paused when he heard her decisive words.
He didn't expect that Niannian would refuse so simply and neatly this time, without any room for error.
However, he could no longer tolerate his feelings for her. They had been together for five years, but the current situation seemed to be broken by Lu Shiqian, a heartless man.
"I hope... you can think about it carefully."
He took a deep breath, tightened his grip on the steering wheel unconsciously, and even breathed a little lighter, putting all his weight on his words.
"The five-year relationship between us has been longer than that between you and Lu Shiqian before, isn't it?"
"Yes." Gu Nian didn't expect that he would use this to talk about things, and sighed, "But that's different. He, I, and you are two completely different things."
"You also know that I hated him for such a long time, and I have been grateful to you for five whole years. If you need my help with anything else, I won't refuse, but..."
"But in feelings, forcing is deception."
There was no way she could repay the favor in this way.
"It means you have love for him, but only kindness to me?"
Lin Yichen's voice sounded emotionless, but the speed of the car was getting faster and faster, even far exceeding the speed limit.
Gu Nian bit her lip, unsure of her current emotions, "I don't want to think about these things now."
She did have deep feelings for that man, but now she can't go back. She raised Yao Bao and Yu Bao well before.
Lin Yichen took a deep breath and tried his best to suppress the uncontrollable anger in his heart.
She did not deny it, that is, she admitted it in disguise.
He said in a deep voice: "Lu Shiqian once treated you like that, and that man was very scheming and never left any room for error. What good results will you get from being with him?"
"He will hurt you once, and he will hurt you a second time!"
His voice was already a little heavy, and it was surprisingly deep in the small space inside the car.
"And I won't."
Gu Nian was a little worried about his mood.
Wasn't what she just said clear enough?
Something doesn't look right about him.
"Lin Yichen... I just said it." Gu Nian pinched her fingers and decided to finish her sentence, "I am very grateful to you, but it is not a relationship between men and women."
Lin Yichen squinted his eyes. The shadow cast by the window made his eyes even darker, making it difficult to see the expression in them.
He has already said it to this extent, but Nian Nian still disagrees...
His eyes suddenly darkened like an exploding volcano. He drove faster and faster, his gloomy face covered with dark clouds. After running for a distance, he suddenly braked to the side of the road.
"How can you promise me?!"
Gu Nian held the handrail tightly, not recovering from the racing speed just now.
She turned around, and the man's expression was close to furious.
Although he tried his best to restrain himself, it was precisely because of this restraint that the veins on his forehead were beating.
She couldn't help but shrink back, and her heart began to beat.
"Lin Yichen... calm down first."
Lin Yichen's eyes were filled with scarlet red, "Calm down?"
"Niannian... if you promise me, I can calm down."
Gu Nian had never seen him like this before. His heart was pounding as if it was about to burst out. He held the seat belt tightly with his hands and shrank back. He didn't know what else he would say.
…
After Lin Yichen and Gu Nian left, Lu Shiqian felt depressed for a while and then went back to his room to change clothes. When he came out, he looked at Yao Bao and said, "Daddy is going to work. Are you going to go with me or stay at home?"
Yao Bao shook his head decisively, "I won't go."
Anyway, the scumbag dad seems to be normal now. He has more important things to do. Where can I go to any company with him when I have time?
Lu Shiqian didn't force himself and left after explaining a few words.
As soon as he left, Yao Bao packed up his things and followed him downstairs.
He hasn't been to the hospital to see his sister for a long time, and he happened to be free today.
Yao Bao went downstairs and took a taxi directly. He skillfully opened the door and got in. The driver was not surprised by this kind of thing and asked him for his address before setting off.
Yao Bao looked at Feng Jing outside the window boredly. Suddenly, his sharp eyes spotted a familiar Rolls-Royce on the roadside.
