Chapter 355: After all, I was overtaken by the curve
It’s over!
Barbie is qing!
Jiang Yimiao's back stiffened when he heard the sound.
It took a while before I turned around and looked around.
She found that the handsome and stern man standing at the door in a straight suit was not her father-in-law, so who could he be.
Jiang Yimiao, who recognized the reality, looked sad.
I never expected that Shao Zhanlin, who usually leaves early and comes home late, would come back at this time.
I also happened to hear her flattering words to other people.
This time it’s really—
The flattery touches the horse's legs, but it's still the kind of person who can't be coaxed.
Feeling slightly guilty, Jiang Yimiao nibbled on the cherry, and a thousand thoughts flashed through her little head at that moment.
However, she still knows the current affairs and is a good person. After swallowing the food Bo Yuqing gave her, she immediately jumped off the chair.
He moved his short legs and ran towards Shao Zhanlin, shouting enthusiastically:
"Daddy, you're done! Miaomiao misses you so much!"
He ran to Shao Zhanlin with short legs in a few steps.
As he spoke, he opened his hands to her with a flattering smile on his face.
Shao Zhanlin tried his best to ignore the happy and warm scene he just saw. He looked back, leaned over and picked up the little guy, and said softly with his thin lips:
"If you don't come back from your work early, how would you know that you still have the potential to be the King of Neptune?"
The magnetic deep voice does not convey much emotion.
Jiang Yimiao, knowing that he was wrong, stuck out his tongue, lowered his voice and whispered in Shao Zhanlin's ear:
"I, I was just acting for the occasion. In Miaomiao's heart, no one can compare to Daddy."
"oh?"
Shao Zhanlin raised his eyebrows slightly and asked noncommittally:
"is that so?"
"certainly!"
The little guy nodded fiercely, worried that Shao Zhanlin wouldn't believe it, so he added swornly:
"Miaomiao likes Daddy the most."
While speaking, Xiao Nizi flashed her big eyes as bright as grapes.
Want to win Shao Zhanlin's trust.
Only Shao Zhanlin has seen as many people in the mall as the Queen across the river in these years.
How could I not see her little thoughts?
But after all, she was his biological child, so Shao Zhanlin didn't care much about her.
He stared at her small face that resembled Jiang Nuantang's for a few seconds with his deep eyes, then gently scratched the bridge of her nose and said:
"You little heartless one."
The words that seemed to be both love and hate were obviously not only talking about Jiang Yimiao, but also about the woman who made him both love and hate.
Shao Zhanlin couldn't speak out when facing Jiang Nuantang, so he could only use this to vent his emotions.
At a young age, Jiang Yimiao didn't know that when her father saw her, all he thought about was her mother.
She thought it was her words of praise for Bo Yuqing that angered Shao Zhanlin.
Feeling guilty, she slightly stuck out her tongue, put her little hands around Shao Zhanlin's neck, and rested her head on his shoulder affectionately.
…
The intimacy revealed between father and daughter invisibly built a high wall to separate others.
Especially Bo Yuqing, at this moment, he became more and more aware that he was an outsider.
Although he had known their mother and daughter much earlier than Shao Zhanlin, he still missed the opportunity and was overtaken in a corner.
During this period, he struggled, felt resentful and angry, but to no avail.
A heart has already fallen into decay when we are young and ignorant.
Even if fate hinders him later, causing him to miss the opportunity and taking two completely different paths with the one he loves, he can never take it back.
I can only watch her conceive children for other men, develop relationships, and get married.
And he——
It became a piece of her past that was scattered along the way of her growth, and even when she recalled it, she looked calm and relaxed.
Bo Yuqing was slightly absent-minded, until his heart throbbed and he could finally regain his composure.
He clenched and unclenched his fists, hiding his good emotions, and greeted Shao Zhanlin, who was holding his daughter, with a natural expression:
"Mr. Shao is here. Dinner is ready in the kitchen. Why don't you sit down and have something together?"
Bo Yuqing pretended to be a family member and quietly competed with Shao Zhanlin.
Shao Zhanlin felt it, and the hand holding his daughter tightened, his eyes darkened slightly, but he did not have an attack, and he responded calmly:
"Of course I need to eat."
While talking, Shao Zhanlin carried his daughter to the dining table, placed her on the table, and then sat next to Jiang Nuantang.
While unbuttoning his shirt cufflinks, he spoke slowly:
"There are guests coming, but you didn't tell me so that I could make arrangements in advance to come back early and avoid neglecting Mr. Bo, which would be rude."
The words seemed to be light accusations, but in fact they were full of intimacy, as if they were a reply to Bo Yuqing.
Not to be outdone, Bo Yuqing replied calmly:
"Mr. Shao is worrying too much. I'm here to see Tangtang. You and I are both guests. There's nothing to be rude about."
The two of them were going back and forth, not giving in to each other, and even the eyes that met were filled with the smell of gunpowder.
Jiang Nuantang, who was caught in the middle, could not hear it.
Only she knew which side to side with at this time, which would only lead to trouble.
The best way to protect yourself wisely is to remain silent.
So she turned a blind eye to the two people's secrets, and only stopped them when they were about to get into trouble:
"Say less than a few words."
Jiang Nuantang frowned slightly, with a look of displeasure on his face.
The two men were also obedient, aware of her displeasure, and both calmed down with a look.
Just when the butler brought the bowls and chopsticks, Jiang Nuantang reached out to take them, put them in front of Shao Zhanlin, and whispered:
"Let's eat!"
Don't make any more trouble.
The children are all watching!
Jiang Nuantang did not expect the two to shake hands and make peace, but only hoped that they could calm down.
At least let her finish the meal safely.
Jiang Nuantang felt that this request was not too much, but she felt that Shao Zhanlin seemed to be deliberately going against her.
Not only did he turn a blind eye to her hint, he also said to the housekeeper:
"It's rare for guests to come over, how can we not drink to cheer up? I just got back a bottle of French brandy from a collector's edition two days ago. It's in the wine cabinet at the attic. Go get it and let Mr. Bo and I have a good drink.
.”
Forget about the front.
This sentence is not meant to inspire hatred.
In addition to showing his familiarity with the layout of the house, he also showed his attitude as a host.
Obviously he is just a renter.
Jiang Nuantang lightly raised her eyebrows and criticized Shao Zhanlin's provocation.
She thought it was because of her good temper that she allowed this man to take advantage of her and climb up the pole whenever he found an opportunity.
In normal times, Jiang Nuantang would definitely try to dismantle him, but right now, due to the unclear past between him and Bo Yuqing.
In order to dispel Bo Yuqing's thoughts as early as possible, Jiang Nuantang did not explain the misunderstanding too much, and turned a blind eye to Bo Yuqing's secret sadness.
He only lowered his face and refuted with slight disapproval:
"What are you drinking? I have to drive back later——"
Without asking any more questions, Jiang Nuantang knew very well that every time Bo Yuqing came to her place, he drove here by himself.
Shao Zhanlin was not making trouble by inviting him to drink at this time.
I don't know if it's intentional or not.
Shao Zhanlin didn't listen to Jiang Nuantang's objections, and still insisted on going his own way, saying in a calm voice:
"Let the driver take him off later."
While talking, the butler had already fetched the wine and came back after sobering up.
Taking the wine glass and decanter from his hand, Shao Zhanlin raised the wine glass and asked Bo Yuqing for his opinion:
