Lu Xining was very sensitive to his touch and subconsciously wanted to withdraw her hand.
Jin Shaoheng did not let go. His eyes fell on the scar on her wrist and he rubbed it with his fingertips.
Lu Xining had a different feeling in his heart and asked, "Do you know where this scar came from?"
Jin Shaoheng shook his head.
Lu Xining was a little disappointed, but saw him take out a watch, take her hand, and put it on her directly.
The dial is set with diamonds, it is simple and elegant, but it suits her very well. The most important thing is that the leather strap just covers the scar.
Just as Lu Xining was about to refuse, he heard him calmly say: "This is originally yours, wear it."
Hers?
Lu Xining was startled for a moment. Jin Shaoheng had already let go of her and went to hug Jin Muxi.
The father and son may not have been close to each other for a long time, after all, they were raised by him since childhood. Jin Shaoheng also raised Jin Muxi as the lost child, and the two were extremely close.
Lu Xining frowned and looked at the watch on his wrist, then looked at Zhuang's mother and asked: Is this really his?
A smile appeared on Zhuang's mother's face and she praised: "It looks good."
Isn't that what she asked?
However, Jin Shaoheng was quite good at understanding Lu Xining's psychology, which meant that Lu Xining did not take it off and return it to him after all.
New Year's Eve is the most lively night. As soon as it gets dark, firecrackers continue to sound outside, and the fireworks light up the entire night.
Naturally, the New Year's Eve dinner was very sumptuous. Five adults and one child gathered around a table. After the meal, everyone huddled together, cracked melon seeds and watched the Spring Festival Gala, chatting and laughing.
Such an ordinary scene is full of New Year flavor.
Because we have to keep the New Year's Eve, children can't stand it.
Jin Muxi fell asleep on Lu Xining's lap unknowingly, and Jin Shaoheng took him back to bed.
Not to mention Zhuang's mother, even Liu Weijie couldn't help but lament that they had not had such a down-to-earth relationship with Jin Shaoheng for several years.
"Then what did you do during the Chinese New Year?" Lu Xining couldn't help but ask.
"When Madam was here, she took care of everything. After Madam left, you and Mr. Jin also divorced.
Mr. Jin has had a hard time in the past two years. He was seriously injured by Gu Yuzhi, and he spent the whole time in the hospital." Liu Weijie answered.
Injuried.
This was not only the first time for Lu Xining to hear about this matter, she had even read the information given to her by Jin Shaoheng.
"I'm sorry, madam, I shouldn't mention this during the Chinese New Year." Liu Weijie saw that she was lost in thought and immediately felt annoyed at himself for talking too much.
Lu Xining shook his head.
It's not her who's recovering from her injuries, so there's no need to apologize to herself.
When Jin Shaoheng came out of the children's room, Lu Xining was no longer on the sofa.
I thought she felt tired and went back to her room to rest, but found that she had gone to the terrace.
Here you can overlook the entire Bund, and naturally you can also see the fireworks all over the city.
Lu Xijing stood there quietly, unable to tell what he was thinking.
She suddenly felt warmth on her shoulders. Jin Shaoheng took a coat and put it on her shoulders.
Lu Xining said: "Thank you."
Jin Shaoheng said nothing, just stood side by side with her...
I stayed up late the day before and naturally got up very late the next day.
Lu Xining didn't get up slowly until he heard movement outside the room and knew that Zhuang Ma and the others were coming up.
"Happy New Year, madam."
"Young lady, happy New Year."
Sure enough, they came up, their faces beaming with joy, and they greeted her one after another when they saw her.
"Happy New Year." Lu Xining responded with a smile.
Jin Shaoheng happened to come out of the room and walked over.
"Happy New Year, Mr. Jin."
"Happy New Year." Lu Xining also greeted him.
"Happy New Year." Jin Shaoheng responded and handed her a red envelope.
Lu Xining noticed that he had more than one in his hand, which should have been prepared a long time ago, and was not specially prepared for her, so he accepted it.
"Thanks."
"No thanks." Jin Shaoheng said, and distributed other red envelopes to others.
They are all outsiders and have no relatives or friends in S city. Jin Shaoheng has never appeared in hm, which saves him a lot of trouble.
It was boring to stay at home, so I went shopping around.
The happiest person is Jin Muxi, who has plenty to eat, play, and is accompanied by his "mom and dad".
But time flies, and people have not yet gotten out of the festive atmosphere. The holiday is coming to an end, and some people have already started to return.
In the past few days, Jin Shaoheng gave her several pieces of jewelry, all of which he said were from her past.
Things that came out of nowhere always made her feel weird.
Zhuang's mother saw it and explained to her: "The young master is right, it is really yours."
Zhuang's mother didn't believe her and thought she was speaking for Jin Shaoheng, so she brought several photo albums up from downstairs.
At that time, her mother-in-law Zhang Tingyu compiled the photos before her death, and most of them were photos of her and Jin Shaoheng, which are all pictures that she does not have in her memory now.
But it is true as Zhuang Ma said, some jewelry is worn on her body.
"Do you believe it?" Jin Shaoheng asked.
Lu Xining hadn't finished flipping through the photo album, but the more she flipped through it, the more questions she had in her mind: "Jin Shaoheng, I was heavily in debt at the time. With your worth, there should be many famous ladies who could only dream of marrying me. Why would you marry me?"
"I was kidnapped when I was a child, and a girl rescued me. She was an orphan, and she was raised in my family from then on."
"She grew up with me. Apart from her, there was no other person of the opposite sex around me... My mother didn't like her, and the Jin family no longer needed marriage to consolidate their status at that time, and then she fell in love with you."
"We had no feelings at first. It wasn't until we got divorced that I realized I fell in love with you unknowingly."
After Jin Shaoheng finished his explanation, when he said the last sentence, he looked at her with guilt and restrained heat.
Lu Xining avoided his gaze and asked, "What happened next?"
Seeing her reaction, Jin Shaoheng's eyes gradually dimmed, and he lowered his head and said, "I forced you later, and..."
"I had a child." Lu Xining answered.
Jin Shaoheng looked at her unexpectedly, and Lu Xining pointed to the photo album.
Zhang Tingyu had the habit of collecting photos of the two of them alone. After she left, Zhuang's mother didn't have much contact with them, but she still developed some photos to fill them in, including one of her bulging belly.
"Is this child gone?" Lu Xining guessed.
"Yes, as big as Jin Muxi, because I... couldn't keep it." Jin Shaoheng said frankly.
Lu Xining looked at his swollen belly in the photo and thought of that dream, feeling suffocated in his chest again.
"Xining." Jin Shaoheng looked at her worriedly.
Lu Xining came to his senses and asked, "Is that why you are so obsessed with the child in my belly now?"
"No, just because he is our child." Jin Shaoheng said.
"But I am not the Lu Xining of the past." The Lu Xining of the past was willing to give birth to a child for him, but now she is not.
"You will remember it one day." Jin Shaoheng said.
"Then have you ever thought that I might never remember you? And I won't fall in love with you. If there is a child between us, I will feel very painful." Lu Xining said.
"What if you think about it one day? Won't you regret it?" Jin Shaoheng still tried to persuade her.
"You said you would respect my choice." Lu Xining looked into his eyes but was unusually calm.
These words were like a basin of cold water, which immediately chilled Jin Shaoheng's heart: "So, you still don't want him, right?"
Lu Xining was silent for a moment and nodded.
The room fell into silence again, until after a long time, Jin Shaoheng agreed: "Okay."
