Qiao Lingyu lowered his guard. He didn't want to quarrel with her right now, he just wanted to know whether or not Pei Jiayuan was his child.
He stretched out his hand to caress her face and said: "Ran Qing, I don't want to fight over anything with you. I know what you are afraid of, I just want to know if our child exists or not."
"So what if you know he's your child? Qiao Lingyu, you already have your own child's family, can you please stop disturbing our lives? " She raised his head and said with the same thorny look in her eyes, "You chose then, so you don't need to come back for it now."
"Ran Qing..." He called to her softly, feeling both tenderness and sadness.
It had been a long time since he had called her that. If he had known that their child was still in this world, would he have given her up? He regretted it, but it was useless.
"Qiao Lingyu, the relationship between us is already over, even if Jia Yuan is your child along with me, what else can it mean? The child is happy now, he's used to not having a father, and I don't want you to ruin his life. " After Su Ranqing finished speaking, she wanted to get down from the car and leave, but the door wouldn't open.
She turned to look at him. "Open the door, please. We've finished what we have to say."
"Are you afraid of staying with me?"
She sneered, then turned to him and said, "Aren't you being too sentimental?"
"You know Jiao Jiao, I want to know what your relationship is?" He continued, "Did Jiao Jiao already know of Jia Yuan's existence?"
"Jiao Jiao and I were just friends many years ago. Thanks to your wife, she caused Jiao Jiao to lose her happiness. Are you all happy now? In this world, you seem to be the happiest three. The three of you spend your days together, and the happiness of others is fake. " She didn't want to reveal the matter between her and Jiao Jiao, so she ridiculed him.
"Su Ranqing." He looked at her angrily. "Can't you talk to me properly?"
"On what basis? Could it be that after I give you a slap, you'll still be smiling and fawning over me? "
He had no choice. He knew that she really wanted to leave, but the more it was like this, the more he didn't want her to leave.
After a long moment of silence, he suddenly stuck his head out to kiss her, but she moved away, and the atmosphere became awkward.
"If I told you I still loved you, would you believe me?" he said to her suddenly.
She was silent, tears streaming down her face. However, she smiled. She was laughing at herself, but also at him. They were ridiculing each other. Was there still any meaning in saying that they still loved each other?
"Let me out." She raised her head and looked at him with red eyes, "Qiao Lingyu, why do you always bully others like that?"
He didn't, he said it from the bottom of his heart, but it sounded like there was some other meaning to it.
She tried the door again, but it opened. The sun was hot outside. It was hard to take a taxi at this point. She kept walking forward. Today, the shoes she was wearing were a bit high, so she was somewhat regretful. However, his car had never left her side, following behind her the entire time.
She suddenly stopped and said to him, "Have you had enough?"
"It's very hard to get a ride here. I'll take you back."
She glared at him and said, "If I'm willing to die of exhaustion rather than ride in your car, do you believe me?"
Her sarcasm made him uncomfortable, and he knew her character. Even though he was unwilling, he still stepped on the accelerator and drove straight ahead. She watched his car drive away, then looked at the midday sun, and she couldn't help but smile, tears in her eyes, sarcasm in her smile. He could clearly not have worked that hard, but why did he still have to face it bitterly?
After she walked for a long time, a car stopped beside her. She was very surprised, it was none other than Han Zhanyan.
"Let's get in the car and talk." Han Zhanyan stuck his head out and said.
She immediately got in the car, took off her shoes and was about to ask him, but he replied her with a question she wanted to know: "Qiao Lingyu called me to come pick you up, why did you see him again?"
She was somewhat surprised, but it wasn't strange for her to think about it. After all, only he knew that she was here.
She shook her head before adding, "He has met Jia Yuan and knows that Jia Yuan is his son. The reason he let me out today is to tell me about this matter, and he knows that Jia Yuan is currently living with the Aunt Pei. "
Han Zhanyan was also very surprised, he did not expect Qiao Lingyu to find out about Jia Yuan so quickly, it seemed that he had underestimated him.
"Then what are you going to do now?"
"I will not hand over Jia Yuan to him." She answered straightforwardly, "I'm actually not worried about him knowing about it. You know, I'm worried about An Ya. Right now, the person behind An Ya has yet to be found, so it is impossible for us to underestimate him.
"We will protect Jia Yuan well." Han Zhanyan continued, "They are underestimating our Pei family. Although they do not have much influence in the country, they can definitely protect a single person."
"I know." How could she not believe in the Pei family?
Han Zhanyan continued to ask: "Didn't Qiao Lingyu say that he wanted to go back to Jia Yuan?"
She shook her head: "He didn't say, he only said that he wanted to know the truth, but Jia Yuan really looks too similar to Qiao Lingyu, it would be hard to deny it."
"Do you think this is lucky or not?" Han Zhanyan found it funny and said to her, "Ran Qing, actually, you feel quite proud of yourself, don't you?"
She did not say anything. She had once felt proud of herself, or at least felt that her child was more beautiful than average. But now, she felt that it was not a good thing for Pei Jiayuan to be like her father.
When he returned to the Pei household, Pei Jiayuan immediately rushed over to hug him when she saw her mother. He still had a slight fever.
He shook his head sensibly. "Mom, since you came, I won't hurt anymore."
She took him in her arms and sat him down next to her. "Mom will be with you every day, okay?" she said.
He nodded, but then said as if he had thought of something: "Mom, I saw that guy in the kindergarten that day."
She looked at him, confused, and he replied, "Dad."
She was stunned. She finally understood why he would know about Pei Jiayuan's existence. She thought Qiao Lingyu had been checking his out, but it didn't seem to be like this.
She nodded and said, "And then? Did he ask for you? But do you still have to avoid him when you see him in the future? "Wherever."
"Why?"
"Because he already has his own family, he has his own children, and you are no longer a member of their family. Do you know that you are mother's only child?"
