Qi Chenglin had just opened the cabin door and was about to step out of the cabin when he received a call from Ruan Danchen. He smiled gently and picked up the phone. "Why are you calling me?"
"Hmm." Ruan Danchen felt a little hot and responded softly, "Why didn't you wake me up in the morning?"
"Seeing that you were sleeping soundly, I couldn't bear to wake you up. Besides, you were too tired last night." As Qi Chenglin walked, whenever he spoke to Ruan Danchen, his voice would immediately become soft and a little hoarse.
"I wanted to send you here, but I didn't even get to see you in the morning. When I woke up, I didn't see you." Ruan Danchen lowered her head and pressed her fingers on the table, rubbing them in circles.
"You missed me as soon as you opened your eyes?" Qi Chenglin was in a good mood. He knew that she missed him.
After a long time, he finally heard her shyly say, "En."
"There's only some finishing up work here. We'll be able to go back soon," Qi Chenglin said.
"Pay attention to your diet when you're outside. I heard from Aunt Zheng that you have a weak stomach, so you have to eat on time. Don't forget to eat when you start working. If you can't avoid drinking, you should smoke less." Ruan Danchen reminded.
"Alright." Qi Chenglin agreed in a soft voice. He felt that it was good to have a woman at home who cared about him, thought about him, and missed him from time to time.
"Will you think that I'm meddling too much?" Ruan Danchen was a little uncertain. She was afraid that he would find it annoying.
"No, I like this feeling very much. If you don't care about me, I will feel that you don't care about me. "Qi Chenglin was already waiting for his luggage to be delivered to him.
Ruan Danchen was afraid that the more she talked, the more she would miss him, so she said, "Come back quickly, I miss you very much."
After that, he immediately hung up.
Just as Qi Chenglin was about to reply, the other end of the line went silent.
He looked at the phone, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. What kind of habit did she have? Every time she confessed, she would hang up the phone without waiting for his reply. At least give him a chance to say a few words.
Ruan Danchen held onto her phone. Her heart was still beating very fast at this moment. Thinking of the conversation with Qi Chenglin, she blushed. She didn't expect that she would say something like that. In the past, he had always felt that he was a passive person who would not easily reveal his thoughts. Not to mention taking the initiative to say that I like you, miss you, love you, and so on.
However, when she was with Qi Chenglin, she would always do things that surprised even herself. She almost didn't recognize herself anymore.
She stayed in the kitchen for a while longer, then went out.
In the afternoon, Yang came to take her and Qi Youxuan to the old house.
Although Qi Chenglin was away on a business trip, Qi Youxuan still had to attend the regular family gatherings in the old mansion. Moreover, Old Master and Old Madam missed him, so he went once a week to visit his great-grandson.
Ruan Danchen's identity had long been recognized by the Qi family. Whether it was the Old Master, the Old Lady, Qi Zhongxun, or Guan Liya, they all regarded Ruan Danchen as Qi Youxuan's half-mother. It seemed that it was only a matter of time before she married Qi Chenglin.
Song Yu was going to give birth in less than a month. Her belly was especially big now, and the fetus was moving more frequently.
Qi Youxuan looked at Song Yu's big belly curiously, his big black eyes staring at it. "Auntie, can I touch it?"
"Of course. Youjin is very active in my belly now. Put him on my belly and don't move. You'll feel him moving in a while," Song Yu said with a smile.
Qi Youxuan sat cross-legged next to Song Yu. He placed both his little hands on Song Yu's belly. His movements were especially gentle, as if he was afraid of squeezing her belly.
Looking at Qi Youxuan's cute little face, Song Yu's heart ached. She looked at him and then at Ruan Danchen. She realized that Ruan Danchen's attention was all on Qi Youxuan, and her smile was so gentle.
Song Yu couldn't help but pat Qi Youxuan's little head. Although the little guy was sometimes mischievous, a miser, and a foodie, he was very kind and considerate.
The strength of his little hands on her belly seemed to be even lighter than a feather. His careful manner made her heart ache so much that she wanted to cry.
Suddenly, Qi Youxuan exclaimed in surprise, his face full of surprise. "Youjin moved, he moved. It was just a sudden movement, and it happened to be on my palm. It felt like there was something beating in my palm. It was so interesting."
Song Yu caressed Qi Youxuan's little face and smiled gently. Qi Youxuan raised his head and asked, "Auntie, does it hurt you when he moves like that?"
"No, it just feels like there's something walking along my skin, and it's a very gentle tug," Song Yu explained.
Qi Youxuan nodded, not really understanding. He tilted his head slightly and said to himself curiously, "I wonder if it was like this when I was in Mommy's belly. I wonder if it hurt Mommy when I kicked her."
His unintentional childish words made Ruan Danchen's eyes ache immediately. Qi Youxuan had never seen a woman since he was born, but he still missed her. He was afraid that he would hurt her when he was in her belly.
Ruan Danchen felt that she didn't deserve such a good son.
"It won't." Song Yu said gently. His eyes were a little wet. Even Old Mrs. Han, Guan Liya, and Xia Wenna had tears in their eyes. Guan Liya even secretly wiped her tears.
"Youjin is so mischievous, but I don't feel any pain. You're so sensible, so you won't hurt your mother. Moreover, when a child is in the belly, his strength is really small. He will feel sorry for his mother, so he won't use too much strength. " Song Yu explained, "You saw your hand on my belly just now. You can feel that his strength is very light, right? Moreover, this is the child's way of telling Mommy that everything is fine in her belly. "
"Is that so?" Qi Youxuan looked at Song Yu's belly suspiciously.
"It's like this." Ruan Danchen carried Qi Youxuan onto her lap, her heart aching for the little boy. "You're so sensible and considerate. Usually, you only touch it lightly. It really won't hurt."
She still remembered that when she was pregnant with him, his movements were very light. It was as if he was afraid of hurting her. Occasionally, he would move once or twice, and it felt very cute.
However, because she was born prematurely, she couldn't feel his movements at the most frequent time.
"How do you know? You've never given birth to a child." Qi Youxuan thought of it and said. His thoughts were very simple, and he didn't think too much about it. However, his unintentional words made Ruan Danchen very uncomfortable.
In the past, she only wanted to be by his side, but now she was really a little greedy. She wanted him to know that she was his mother and that she gave birth to him, but she was afraid that the little boy would blame her and not forgive her.
Before Ruan Danchen could say anything, Qi Youxuan said again, "Auntie Ruan, why don't you have a child with Daddy and feel it? It's best if it's a sister. Of course, you can't not love me just because you have a sister. Otherwise, I won't agree to you having children. "
He said it as if he had the final say.
Ruan Danchen smiled and kissed his forehead, forgetting that the Qi family was watching.
"Don't worry, I'll always like you the most and love you the most," Ruan Danchen said softly.
For her, even if she was pregnant again, watching him be born and grow up with her own eyes would not feel the same as Qi Youxuan.
She would always feel indebted to Qi Youxuan. The past six years of not being by his side was a mistake that she would never be able to make up for.
She thought that even if she gave birth to another child, the one she loved the most would still be this slightly chubby little guy in front of her.
"This is what you said. You have to remember it." Qi Youxuan's little head rested on Ruan Danchen's shoulder and whispered.
"I promise, I won't go back on my word." Ruan Danchen said softly.
Guan Liya watched from the side. After a while, when no one was paying attention, she went to the backyard.
Not long after, Song Yu and the old lady received a text message. Song Yu looked at the old lady, and the old lady muttered to herself, "Oh, I'm going to the toilet."
Then she got up and left.
After a while, Song Yu glanced at Ruan Danchen, gave her a look, and left.
Qi Youxuan lay in Ruan Danchen's arms, his big black eyes rolling. He whispered to Ruan Danchen, "Great-grandma is acting again. I don't know what she's doing. Auntie Ruan, I'll go take a look."
"Don't go." Ruan Danchen hugged him and stopped him. "It's not a big deal."
Qi Youxuan pouted before giving up.
When Song Yu went to the backyard, Guan Liya and the old lady were already there.
"Grandma, Second Aunt, what's the matter?" Song Yu held her belly, and Guan Liya quickly helped her down the stairs.
Guan Liya licked her lips and said, "Just take it that I'm being paranoid. Why do I feel that what Danchen said to Youxuan just now sounded so strange to me? She's not deliberately saying nice things in front of us, is she? After all, Youxuan is not her biological child. In the future, when she gives birth to her own child, she will inevitably be closer to her own child. This is human nature. I'm also mentally prepared for this when Chenglin remarries. Therefore, I want Chenglin to find a kind-hearted girl. Even if she gives birth to her own child, she will not be too biased. After all, we're all blood-related. There will be someone who is closer to us. In addition, our family dotes on the younger one more. It's just that Danchen saying that makes me worried instead. "
Guan Liya sighed, "Song Yu, I know she's your good friend. So, don't be unhappy. I'm really scared of Jian Yi's injury. I'm afraid that he's deliberately putting on a good show in front of us in order to enter the Qi family. Once he gets married, it won't be the case. You Xuan is not like Cheng Yue. Cheng Yue is an adult. Even if she's injured, she can take care of herself. However, You Xuan is such a young child. How can he withstand such a blow? He likes Danchen so much. If things don't work out after they get married, wouldn't You Xuan die of sadness? He can't live with us all the time. Children must live with their parents. What if he gets hurt at such a young age? "
Guan Liya's heart ached when she thought about it. At this moment, her chest hurt. She really felt sorry for her cute grandson.
Song Yu wasn't angry. He knew that it was normal for Guan Liya to think this way.
Even the old lady nodded at the side. Clearly, she was also worried.
"Grandma, Second Aunt, don't worry. I can guarantee with my character that what Danchen said is the truth. Just now, she was so focused on You Xuan that she forgot that we were also here. She didn't deliberately put on a good show for us. I've known Danchen for as long as I've been in the city. I can guarantee her character, "Song Yu said softly.
"Moreover, haven't you heard about Danchen's background from Chenglin? Although her mother only remarried a few years ago, before she remarried, she never cared about her. Her mother is the kind of woman who is especially weak. She only wants to rely on men. Other than that, she doesn't know anything else. She can't even take care of herself. Why would she care about Danchen's life? "
