Mary was quite obedient, sitting very still, not crying or making a fuss, but looking at me unblinkingly.
Uncomfortable with her strange little eyes, I turned on the TV in the room, handed her the remote, and asked, "Mary, do you want to watch cartoons?"
She didn't answer the remote, but suddenly said, "I know you."
"Hmm?" I didn't understand what she meant.
Mary said, "I saw your picture in Mommy's study."
"And then? Do you think Auntie and the photo look alike? " I couldn't help but think that I was teasing her on purpose.
Mary shook her head. "So you have eyes."
Without waiting for me to speak, she held out her dark fingers, formed two circles around her index fingers, and said, "In my mother's photo album, there are only two big holes in your face. I thought you were a monster!"
Without Han Youya sitting by her side, the child's nature has been released, as if she had found a new world. Mary's eyes stared at me more and more, so she decided that she might as well walk in front of me, reached out her hand and touched my eyes, then burst out laughing, "It's real, it's really beautiful, Auntie, you're not the monster my Mommy talked about."
I was on guard against Han Youya for a long time, but after she left Blue Water City that night, she did not show herself again, and even closed her internet shop. Chen Kaifeng said that he bought a new house, her shop is temporarily closed, and started to renovate the new house.
He sent me many photos of the three of them going to Disneyland to play. The Han Youya in the picture had a brilliant smile on her face, no longer as beautiful as before, but much younger than the one I had seen in Jade Water. The smile in her eyes was like the calm and tranquil smile that covered all the vicissitudes of life.
But the thought of Mary telling me that she had sneaked a look at a picture of the blind monster auntie before she came home alone.
"Aunt Monster, you're actually not scary at all."
I still remember the creepy things Mary said, so I didn't let my guard down just because she and Chen Kaifeng started to show up.
In the blink of an eye, October arrived. Gao Kan called me and invited me to rest before going on a trip with him.
Such a trip would definitely attract the attention of the reporters. At that time, our photo would be posted on Weibo, and I'm afraid it would excite Han Youya.
However, things often went against my wishes. Just when I had carefully avoided meeting with Gao Kan again and again, trying to find out what Han Youya was trying to do, the marriage certificate for Gao Kan and I, was placed on the Internet by someone unknown late in the middle of October.
The marriage registration certificate was taken very clearly, both the front and the back. Along with the scene when we registered that day, we were also secretly photographed. Yi Shanshan and Gao Kan had actually stealthily received their identity cards during the Spring Festival!
After waking up one night, when I found out, that blog post had already been forwarded more than 200,000 times, and the entire internet was abuzz with excitement.
My first thought was to quickly call the PR Department and find a way to remove the search engine. I personally sent a Weibo account to deny that I had received a certificate and then called Gao Kan to ask him to deny the matter.
He probably hadn't woken up yet, but after a vague "Mmm," he tossed the phone aside and went back to sleep.
I was worried then, so I sent a video call to Gao Kan. After he answered the call with sleepy eyes, I shouted at him: "Gao Kan! Do you hear me? If someone asks you if we have registered, you just say no, you know?! "
"Hmm?" Gao Kan squinted his eyes and asked me, "What's going on?"
"Never mind what's going on. In short, you can just deny that we have a permit. Do you hear me? "Good boy!"
Gao Kan suddenly sat up from the bed, his eyes wide, "The matter of obtaining the certificate, was it leaked out?"
I started and blurted out, "Did you do it?"
He wanted to travel with me on National Day, so I rejected him. He came to the capital to look for me, and I rejected him again.
"What did I do? Can you not take gunpowder in the morning? You have something to say, right? " If it wasn't for the phone screen, I think Gao Kan would have pinched my face so hard out of anger.
I also felt that I was being reckless, so I apologized to him, "Sorry, I was too impulsive just now. The moment I opened my eyes, I saw that the matter of us obtaining the certificate was exposed. Now, it's almost all available online."
"Is that all?" Gao Kan yawned, then laid back on the bed and threw his phone to the side. He tilted his head and lazily said: "It's fine if it's exposed. "Obedient, let me sleep a little longer."
After he finished muttering, Gao Kan glanced to the side and continued snorting.
Not wanting to cause Gao Kan to misunderstand me, I wasn't willing to reveal it to him. After pondering for a while, I then gently called out to him, "Hubby, I'm not done talking yet."
Gao Kan forced himself to open his eyes and mutter, "En En En En, tell me, I'm listening …"
"Hubby, listen, I have three contracts in my hands right now. When I signed the contracts, I said that everyone will be single for the next five years. If this is exposed, I'll be sued for breach of contract."
Gao Kan replied disapprovingly: "Hmm? Breach of contract? "When the time comes, we'll hire a lawyer to deal with it. It's just a small matter."
I patiently explained to him, "But this is a question of my credibility. I don't want anyone to know, do you understand? I've already denied it on Weibo, so I need you to cooperate now, understand? — If someone calls and asks you, just say that you didn't get a license, that we're just trying to repair our old relationship, that's all, do you understand? Moreover, this matter is decided so there is no room for discussion. "
Halfway through my sentence, Gao Kan turned his phone into a black screen, but I still told him what I wanted to say.
At the other end of the phone, after some rustling, Gao Kan suddenly flipped his phone over. He was already standing in front of the bed, staring at me unhappily. Are you trying to take revenge on me? "
I didn't expect him to ask that. I was stunned, "No, don't let your imagination run wild. I was really thinking about work."
"Ha ~" the corner of his mouth rose, as he pulled out a cold smile, "Need for work? Last year, when you were outside saying that you want to marry Guo Yunyan, why didn't you think about the need to work when you wanted to marry Zhou Jin? "
So, he mistook me for playing with him, and wanted to take revenge for the time when he dumped me?
Gao Kan ridiculed again: "No, that's what you need to do right? What was it this time? It's stirring up trouble again? "
He distrusts me so much.
It truly made one's head burn.
I wanted to choke on Gao Kan because he is not someone you can do it yourself, but I didn't want to talk about Han Youya in front of him, so I endured it and calmly said: "Yes, it was hype."
"Isn't that too much? Isn't it simple to stir up a hype?" Admit that you have a certificate, and then there is the time to get married, to get married, to have a baby, to separate, to divorce, to have a series of good subjects waiting for you to fire, why deny it?! Is that enough? If it's not enough, I'll invest in a new company to play with you? "
Gao Kan was ineffably furious. With such a temper, it was already beyond being disturbed by someone else.
I couldn't help but remind him: "Gao Kan, you're saying things too much."
Gao Kan flew into a rage and started to criticize me, "Am I being excessive, or are you? Yi Shanshan, I really think it's time for you to reflect on yourself. On the day of receiving the certificate, you were the one who said that the problem would always be resolved, but look at what you've been doing for the past few months. If we're not in the recording studio, we're doing advertisements and making announcements. We have to be together for a few days? "Yes, I'm busy too, but I've tried my best to find time to meet you, but you've always tried to find excuses like this, saying, 'Next time, next time, when do you want me to wait?'"
"Five years, ten years, twenty years, wasn't this what you promised me when you proposed to me? "What, can't wait?" I couldn't help but sneer as well, reminding him by the way, "Gao Kan, you said it yourself. The things that I hated the most have all been changed, but I can see that you haven't changed at all.
"Who lies and is irresponsible? Yi Shanshan, you … " Gao Kan couldn't help but growl, but halfway through his words, he suddenly stopped, and after pausing for a few seconds, he said with a frown: "Wifey, although outsiders do not know that we have gotten the certificate, but you have to understand, we are husband and wife, not playing house, can you not mature yourself, and not be so impulsive and willful? "How long do you want to stay apart from me like this?"
"It depends on your performance!" Not wanting to argue, I replied stiffly, "Anyway, I'm going to do it, you do it!" and hung up.
I was afraid that if Gao Kan continued to speak, I wouldn't be able to hold back and tell him the truth. But before I confirm if Han Youya would do something funny, I really didn't want Gao Kan to know the truth.
He was right. After we got the certificate, I was extremely busy. The amount of time I spent with him didn't exceed a week.
But over the last three years, I've gotten used to this kind of work and I've tried to slow down a lot.
However, I can never again be like the old days, everything in his first place, around him!
I got up and changed my clothes. While I was eating breakfast, Gao Kan sent a message: "Wife, you hurting my heart by doing this."
After replying with the word "I'm sorry" to Gao Kan, I felt extremely sorry. I secretly vowed in my heart, in another month, if there was no movement from Han Youya's side, I would bring up the matter of holding a wedding with Gao Kan, and then urge Xiao Wang to pay attention to Han Youya's movements in the past two days, so that he could notify me the moment there is any news.
