"By the way, when are you coming back, Dad?"
"Uh …"
"Okay."
Qi Youxuan hung up the phone and heard Ruan Danchen calling from outside. "Youxuan, it's time for dinner."
Qi Youxuan quickly put his phone in his pocket, washed his hands, and went out.
The little guy didn't have much homework now. He did more manual work. Ruan Danchen helped him with his homework and told him to go to bed at 8: 30.
After coaxing Qi Youxuan to sleep, she went back to her bedroom. When she was alone, those annoying things came flooding back.
Thinking about it made her eyes wet and her chest feel stuffy.
At this time, the phone rang. It was Qi Chenglin.
Ruan Danchen hurriedly wiped away her disappointing tears, adjusted her breathing a few times, and then picked up.
"Are you asleep?" Qi Chenglin asked as soon as she picked up.
"No." Ruan Danchen lowered her voice. It didn't sound wrong, so she breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid that he would be worried outside. "I'm lying in bed now. There's nothing to do."
"I'm not at home, so there's nothing to do in bed?" Qi Chenglin's husky voice came through the phone. Just listening to his voice, Ruan Danchen could imagine how roguish the corner of his mouth was.
"Rogue." Ruan Danchen turned over and covered her chin with the quilt. Without Qi Chenglin, she found that she was really not used to lying here.
The bed was still the same bed she had been lying on, but she felt lonely.
She curled up into a ball and listened to Qi Chenglin's voice, which tickled her skin. At this moment, she really wanted him to be by her side and hug her.
"How are you doing at home?" Qi Chenglin asked softly.
"It's good. I have Youxuan to accompany me," Ruan Danchen said. Listening to his mellow voice, she slowly calmed down.
"I heard from Youxuan that you're on vacation?" Qi Chenglin said softly with a faint smile.
"Yes." Ruan Danchen didn't know when Qi Youxuan called.
"Why are you suddenly on vacation?" Qi Chenglin asked suspiciously.
"It's nothing. I just have a vacation, so I took a break and accompanied Youxuan." Ruan Danchen didn't want to lie to him, so she could only say it vaguely.
On the phone, Qi Chenglin was silent for a while. At least, Ruan Danchen felt that the silence was especially long.
"When are you coming back?" Ruan Danchen felt a little guilty, afraid that he would notice something strange, so she asked, she really missed him.
"Did you miss me?" Qi Chenglin's mellow voice carried a hint of a smile.
For some reason, Ruan Danchen's eyes started to hurt a little. Her nose was muffled as she hummed.
She already missed him, and now that she heard his voice, she missed him even more. Her nose felt sour, and she really wished that he was here right now.
"You miss me so much that you're crying?" Qi Chenglin's voice was low and hoarse.
Her ear was pressed against the phone, and it felt as if he was whispering in her ear, tickling her skin.
"No," Ruan Danchen said in a muffled voice.
"We're almost back," Qi Chenglin said in a low voice.
"How are you doing outside? Did you eat on time? "She still remembered that he had a bad stomach.
"They're all paying attention." Qi Chenglin's voice was also warm, as if he liked her concern very much. "Why don't I report to you three meals a day next time I go on a business trip?"
"Then won't you be laughed at to death?" Ruan Danchen's tears turned into laughter. Two lines of tears accidentally came out, and she quickly wiped them away.
"I have a wife to love me, and they will only envy me to death." Qi Chenglin lowered his head slightly, looked down, and chuckled.
"Who's your wife?" Ruan Danchen blushed, thinking that they had never discussed the future.
She didn't dare, and she didn't dare to think about it. She didn't know what Qi Chenglin was thinking.
Qi Chenglin chuckled, told her to sleep early, and not to think too much, and hung up the phone.
After Ruan Danchen talked to him, she missed him even more. Now she kept staring at the call record of the two, looking at the three words Qi Chenglin on the screen, she felt very sweet, and her heart was very warm. That kind of attachment to him became stronger and stronger.
She didn't expect that her feelings would develop to such an extent, and it was out of control.
She didn't know if it was because she had been alone for the past 26 years, so she could only rely on herself no matter what difficulties she encountered. So after meeting Qi Chenglin, suddenly there was someone she could rely on, and her heart that had been trying hard to be strong finally relaxed, and she wanted to rely on him too much.
Actually, this was something that she had been trying hard to avoid, but it didn't seem to be working.
She put down the phone, closed her eyes, and tossed and turned, not knowing how long she had been, and what time it was before she fell asleep.
Even when she fell asleep, she didn't sleep well. She vaguely heard some sounds in the bedroom, and she woke up in a daze. She thought that it was Qi Youxuan who wanted to sleep with her while Qi Chenglin wasn't around, but she didn't expect to see a tall figure in the darkness.
Ruan Danchen was shocked, and she was completely awake. She immediately sat up, and heard a low voice, "Shh, it's me."
Ruan Danchen was stunned, and she didn't dare to believe her ears that it was Qi Chenglin's voice.
She reached out to turn on the table lamp on the bedside table, and saw that it was really Qi Chenglin standing in front of her.
He was travel-worn, and his body still carried the coolness and smell of the night outside. His suit was draped over his arm, and his shirt tie was loosened, and his collar was unbuttoned. His face was tired, and there was a light stubble on it.
Ruan Danchen was stunned. The person who had clearly spoken to her last night was actually standing in front of her now.
Her throat was a little sore, and she immediately got off the bed and threw herself into his arms.
Qi Chenglin's gaze was gentle as he looked down at the top of her head. She had long buried her face in his chest. Seeing that she was like a child who had been wronged, Qi Chenglin hugged her tightly, and carried her to sit on the bed.
"Why didn't you say that you would be back at this time when you called last night?" Ruan Danchen sniffled, holding back her tears.
"I was worried about you being alone." Qi Chenglin carried her on the bed, and lowered his head to kiss her forehead.
Ruan Danchen smiled coquettishly. Once he came back, she felt at ease. It was really strange.
"Has anything happened during this period of time?" Qi Chenglin asked in a low voice. Perhaps it was because he had been tired all day, his voice was very hoarse. His thin and hot lips rubbed against her forehead, making her tremble.
Ruan Danchen couldn't say anything, so she just shook her head gently.
Then, she heard him say, "Why did you come back for vacation? Why didn't you tell me the truth?"
Ruan Danchen slowly raised her head and looked at him in surprise.
His face was weathered and tired, and he was mature and handsome.
He sighed and said, "Today, Youxuan called me and said that you came back from vacation. I felt that something was wrong, so I called you at night. From your tone, I could tell that something was wrong. You didn't want to tell me, so I could only ask Song Yu. She told me. "
"I don't want you to worry," Ruan Danchen said in a low voice.
"But I'm even more worried if you don't tell me. You'd rather tell Song Yu than tell me. Am I not as close to you as Song Yu? " Qi Chenglin hugged her waist tightly, and his lips were no longer pressed against her forehead. He pulled them away slightly, and his expression was a little serious.
Ruan Danchen looked at him, and there seemed to be some injury between his brows.
"I just feel that this is my work matter, and I don't want to involve you. In the past, when I wasn't with you, no matter what I encountered, I dealt with it myself. I don't want to rely on you for everything just because I have you now, and make myself very useless. "Ruan Danchen lowered her head and said a little gloomily.
In fact, the most fundamental reason was that she didn't want to be like Liu Ronghua, a person who was completely dependent on a man. In the end, she gave a man too much pressure, and no one could stand her.
She didn't want that. She was afraid that Qi Chenglin would find her annoying and eventually leave her. Just thinking about it made her heart feel like it was being torn apart.
"In the past, without me by your side, you could only be strong. But now that you have me, you don't need to be so strong anymore. If you feel wronged or unhappy, you can tell me. It's something that I can solve with just a little effort, and I don't need to bear it alone. I won't think that you're useless, and I won't think that you're too dependent on me, and I won't think that you're annoying. Since I'm your man, I should take care of you and protect you. If you feel wronged, I'll stand up for you. My shoulder is specially made for you to lean on. I want you to rely on me. If you feel wronged but don't tell me, it makes me very unhappy and very hurt, "Qi Chenglin said softly, his gaze gentle and affectionate.
"I'm sorry." Ruan Danchen snuggled into his arms and hugged him tightly.
"You don't need to say sorry to me. Just rely on me in the future. Don't solve everything by yourself." Qi Chenglin lowered his head and kissed her forehead. "If there's such a grievance again, no matter how big or small it is, you have to tell me. Don't let me ask around to find out about the grievances my woman has suffered. There are a lot of things that you don't have to be so clear with me. "
He held Ruan Danchen's shoulder and made her look at him. His gaze was deep and gentle. "You're not your mother. Her completely unable to stand on her own will annoy men, but men will leave her because they don't love her enough. You're very independent, and you need me to desperately beg you to rely on me. Even if you don't know anything and rely on me, I won't find you annoying. I like the feeling of you leaning on me like this. I like you relying on me everywhere and looking for me for everything. I like to solve all your problems for you. I hope that you can immediately come to me when you're wronged. If anyone bullies you or makes you unhappy, just tell me and I'll stand up for you. "
"I don't want you to be so clear with me. You say that business is business and private is private, but if I can help you in business, I want to lighten your burden and make your work easier. I want to do anything for you that can make you happy and relieve your pressure. If I can make my work easier, why not? "
Ruan Danchen's eyes were sore. Looking at Qi Chenglin's clear face, she wasn't surprised that he could make women fall for him one after another.
She was really lucky to be able to give birth to a son for such a good man.
"I think … the best thing my mother has done in her life was to ask me to look for you on behalf of Shen Zhijing." Ruan Danchen smiled shyly. She wasn't used to taking the initiative to confess to him.
Qi Chenglin's lips curved into a sexy smile and he murmured in a low voice, "I think so too."
Qi Chenglin hugged her and stroked her hair.
Because he was back, Ruan Danchen couldn't sleep anymore. The grievances she had suffered today didn't seem to be grievances at all. As long as he was around, all the grievances and unhappiness didn't exist.
