Ruan Danchen couldn't stop smiling. She thought of the adorable little boy and Qi Chenglin's gloomy look at home. She couldn't help but laugh.
She wondered if she should give Qi Chenglin a call, but on second thought, Qi Chenglin was driving, so she gave up.
She turned to go back to her room with her phone, but when she looked up, she saw Chen Libai standing beside her. She didn't know how long he had been standing there.
Seeing that she had finally noticed his existence, Chen Libai smiled warmly, but there was a hint of sadness in it.
Ruan Danchen smiled politely and alienatedly. She didn't know why Chen Libai was sad. Even if they had a good impression of each other in high school, to her, it was just the first awakening of love when they were children.
When Chen Libai left, she felt sad and sad, but it wasn't to the extent that she couldn't bear to part with him. Not long after, she resumed her life. At that time, she only had a good impression of Chen Libai.
If it were Qi Chenglin now, she didn't know how much pain she would feel. She probably wouldn't find anyone else in this life.
In her eyes, no one could compare to Qi Chenglin.
"Talking to your boyfriend?" Chen Libai asked with a smile.
Ruan Danchen shook her head. "My son."
"You —" Chen Libai choked.
"My boyfriend. He's seven after the Spring Festival." Ruan Danchen saw Chen Libo's expression just now and knew that he hadn't given up. Although she didn't know why, a little flirting in high school shouldn't make people think about it so much, so she simply brought up her son.
Chen Libai was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses. He smiled and said, "Let's go back."
Ruan Danchen followed him back and sat down. Chen Libai wasn't in the mood to chat. He laughed along when someone joked, but his mind was on Ruan Danchen's son.
He thought about it in his mind. Ruan Danchen's son's age matched the time when Ruan Danchen broke up with her boyfriend. She must have been pregnant, but she didn't expect to break up with her boyfriend. She gave birth to her son and raised him, only to meet her boyfriend again. When her boyfriend found out that she gave birth to a son for him, he might reconcile with her because he wanted to acknowledge his son.
Chen Libai felt that since Ruan Danchen already had a son, if she still called him her boyfriend, then she would be pregnant before marriage. Moreover, her son was already seven years old. This was not something to be proud of.
Of course, he wouldn't take the initiative to mention it to others and embarrass Ruan Danchen. However, he didn't know that Ruan Danchen didn't mind at all. She was very proud that she had a son and didn't care whether he was married or not.
Chen Libai also felt that it was too irresponsible of her not to give her a proper status since her son was already so big. Thinking about it, how could a man be responsible for letting a 19-year-old girl get pregnant with his child?
Nineteen years old, he was still a child.
He reckoned that the man was also a young man who didn't have any skills and ran away irresponsibly. Unlike him, when he knew that he couldn't take responsibility for the other party, he wouldn't hold her back. This was what a man should do.
Chen Libai frowned at this thought. From this point of view, Ruan Danchen's boyfriend wasn't reliable at all. Otherwise, why would he abandon the mother and son back then? He reckoned that he was also incapable now and couldn't give Ruan Danchen happiness at all, so he didn't even dare to give her a marriage.
If her boyfriend only valued her son, then she could give her son to him. He was willing to take care of Ruan Danchen.
First love was especially unforgettable. Even when he was abroad, Ruan Danchen was still very good in his memory. In particular, people's memories were especially good at beautifying a person. The ignorant love when he was young was even more unforgettable.
Now that he was back and saw Ruan Danchen again, he found that the purity of her student days was still there, but it wasn't that kind of pretending to be pure. It was especially natural and made people feel comfortable when they looked at it. And because of the growth of age, she became more mature day by day, and there was more charm that she didn't have before.
Sometimes, when she smiled, her eyes would curve into crescents, and the mixture of purity and charm would flow out, making his heart beat faster.
Chen Libai secretly made up his mind. He didn't care that she had given birth to a son for someone else. He would let Ruan Danchen know that her boyfriend wasn't reliable.
Ruan Danchen still didn't know that Chen Libai had such inexplicable thoughts in his mind. Because Qi Chenglin was coming to pick her up, she became more and more restless and looked at the time on her phone from time to time.
When Qi Chenglin called, she immediately picked up. This time, she didn't go out, but just walked to the window behind the chair.
"I'm here." On the phone, Qi Chenglin's voice was still low and pleasant, mature and steady. It was obvious that he was better than the male students of her age.
Through the window, Ruan Danchen also saw the black Mercedes-Benz parked by the road downstairs. Qi Chenglin stood in front of the driver's door, casually leaning against the door, and his slightly stretched legs seemed longer.
There was still snow on the roadside. He was dressed in black, looking cold and aloof in the snow. His cold temperament was outstanding, and it made everyone who passed by look sideways.
He had one hand in his pocket and was still wearing sunglasses. Originally, he was looking at Sheng Yue's door. She didn't know if he noticed her gaze, but he raised his head.
Even through the sunglasses, Ruan Danchen knew that he was looking at her.
Being looked at by him from so far away, Ruan Danchen's heart was beating fast. She felt as if she had just fallen in love with him.
How could this man be so imposing? Just by standing there, she couldn't look at anyone else, and she forgot about everyone else.
This man was actually hers, and he was devoted to her. At the thought of this, her heart beat even faster. She sighed in her heart. After the Spring Festival, he was already a 34-year-old man, and he had a son who was already seven years old after the New Year, but he was still so charming.
The girls passing by were all looking at him, and some even looked at him a few times. Ruan Danchen felt a little stifled.
Then, she saw Qi Chenglin smile at her, and his voice was clear. "Come down."
Ruan Danchen nodded. Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly saw a woman walking over. She didn't know what she was talking to Qi Chenglin, but Qi Chenglin's face was cold, and he simply said a few words, not knowing how to reply to her.
However, Ruan Danchen could also tell that the woman was here to hit on him.
Ruan Danchen felt stifled and angry. She hung up the phone and grabbed her bag, wishing that she could jump out of the window.
Although she was anxious, she still turned to the crowd and said, "Sorry, my boyfriend is here to pick me up. I have to go."
When the crowd heard this, they naturally didn't want to let her go just like that.
"Don't, you've only been here for a short while. Everyone is chatting excitedly. If you leave just like that, it'll spoil the mood," someone said.
"Yeah, it's not easy for us classmates to gather once a year," another person said, and as he said that, he even glanced at Chen Libai.
They didn't know that Ruan Danchen had a son. They only saw that Ruan Danchen said that she had a boyfriend, but Chen Libai still seemed to be very concerned about her.
From the moment Ruan Danchen arrived until now, everyone could see that this guy's attention was all on Ruan Danchen. Ruan Danchen had just gone out to answer a phone call, and the moment she left, he followed her out.
After returning, he still looked like his soul had left his body.
Since they were high school classmates, there was naturally a sense of closeness. Since Chen Libai liked Ruan Danchen, compared to her boyfriend whom she had never met, they still supported Chen Libai. Intentionally or unintentionally, they wanted to praise Chen Libai, and at the same time, disparage Ruan Danchen's boyfriend whom she had never met before.
"Since your boyfriend is here, why not let him come up and let everyone get to know each other," someone said again.
"Yeah, since he's already here, he might as well come over and take a seat," Wang Kaiyi said rather politely.
"That's right, since he's already here, he can't just not meet face to face, right?" another person said. His tone was not so nice, and it was a little strange.
Ruan Danchen's expression did not change, but she was not very happy in her heart.
They did not know Qi Chenglin's identity, so they would not care. If they let Qi Chenglin come up, he would only be mocked by them in a strange way. Although Qi Chenglin was definitely not someone who would suffer losses, she did not want him to listen to those impolite words.
There was also no need to drag him in front of these people to show off, as if they were showing off Qi Chenglin as an object. She did not like it.
She was also worried that Qi Chenglin would swallow the insult for her sake. Thinking of Qi Chenglin's outstanding temperament, but being mocked or surrounded by these people here, she was unhappy.
And there was another point. Qi Chenglin was such a smart person. If she could tell that there was something wrong with these classmates' words, Qi Chenglin would be even more so. He might even be able to recognize who Chen Libai was at a glance. If he were to be petty later, she would have to coax him.
Ruan Danchen smiled indifferently. "He's waiting downstairs. He can't drink even if he drove here. And now the child is alone at home. The child is too young, so he can't be left at home for too long. He has to hurry back, so he won't be coming over to sit."
Chen Libai frowned. This was not something to be proud of. Why did Ruan Danchen say it out loud?
When the others heard this, they were dumbfounded. They could not say a word. For a long time, they just looked at each other. The silence in the room was so awkward that it was awkward.
"You have a child?" The one who asked was Chang Jingqiu.
Ruan Danchen nodded graciously and smiled. "Yeah, it's after the new year. He's seven now."
"Your boyfriend had it with someone else?" Chang Jingqiu asked again.
This question was a little abrupt, but everyone wanted to know. Seven years old. If Ruan Danchen had given birth to the child, then she would have been 19 when she was pregnant. Thinking about it, it was impossible. Ruan Danchen was an honest girl in school. She would never do something so avant-garde.
Hence, no one felt that Chang Jingqiu's question was inappropriate.
When Ruan Danchen heard this, she was unhappy. "Of course not. I gave birth to him."
Qi Chenglin had a child with someone else? Even if it was just a hypothesis, the thought of it made her angry.
While they were still in shock, Ruan Danchen quickly put down the 200 dollars and said, "You guys continue. Don't let me spoil the mood. I'll leave first."
Chen Libai was the first to react. He grabbed Ruan Danchen's wrist.
Ruan Danchen looked down. She did not frown. Her expression was indifferent. But it was this indifferent expression that made Chen Libai let go of her hand awkwardly. However, he grabbed the 200 dollars and stuffed it back into Ruan Danchen's hand.
"We agreed that it was my treat today." Chen Libai smiled faintly.
Ruan Danchen did not want to get entangled with him. What if this group of people came back to their senses and pestered Qi Chenglin to come up?
Hence, she kept the money and left in a hurry.
When Ruan Danchen came out of Sheng Yue, she saw Qi Chenglin throwing a small paper ball into the rubbish bin at the side. He then walked back.
"Were you hit on just now?" Ruan Danchen raised her eyebrows and asked. She was all smiles and did not get angry.
