in the car.

Xu Xiaoen was carried into the car by Cheng Hanyu.

The coldness of winter had faded a lot due to the ample heating in the car, and her stiff body finally began to regain consciousness, but her little face was still extremely pale, her whole body was still shaking slightly, and she was muttering something in her mouth.

Cheng Hanyu's cold heart clenched tightly, and he turned to his side to fasten the seat belt for Xu Xiaoen, and then spoke out to comfort him with a gentle voice that he had never heard before, "The fourth child has gone to see the situation. Don't worry about it yourself first." Scare yourself.”

Xu Xiaoen seemed unable to hear her, and still huddled in the car. Not only was she not comforted, she was shaking even more.

Cheng Hanyu had no choice but to stretch out his broad palm and hold the woman's slightly trembling hand, "Xu Xiaoen, do you hear what I'm saying?"

Xu Xiaoen finally came to her senses, but she didn't answer Cheng Hanyu's words immediately. Instead, she focused her eyes on the man's hand.

The hand was big, dry and warm. The hand holding hers was full of strength, and the warmth it conveyed made her whole body gradually warm up. But she was a little panicked and looked up at the man in confusion? What is he doing!

Cheng Hanyu was a little uncomfortable looking at Xu Xiaoen's big blank eyes, "You haven't answered my question yet."

"Oh, I..." Xu Xiaoen gradually came back to her senses, but she didn't know how to answer the man's question. She heard it, but she also saw Fan Yan's situation just now, plus Xu Xiaoyin's shouting, until this Even Xu Xiaoen felt flustered and short of breath.

Just then Cheng Hanyu's cell phone rang, it was Lao Si's.

Cheng Hanyu glanced at it and clicked on the speakerphone. The fourth child's voice immediately sounded, "BOSS, Miss Fan is fine. She has woken up now. The specific reason for fainting should be hypoglycemia."

"Okay." Cheng Hanyu hung up the phone and looked at Xu Xiaoen.

After hearing this, Xu Xiaoen looked at the man blankly, "Is she okay? Is the fainting due to low blood sugar?"

"So you can rest assured?" Cheng Hanyu raised his eyebrows and asked lightly, obviously dissatisfied with Xu Xiaoen's previous attitude of not trusting him.

Xu Xiaoen nodded and then remembered that Cheng Hanyu had carried her into the car after she was frightened just now. Her cheeks suddenly felt hot, "Thank you."

"How are you going to thank me?" Cheng Hanyu changed from his usual aloofness and actually asked Xu Xiaoen for payment.

Xu Xiaoen was stunned for a moment and looked at the man who was driving. He seemed to be considering the meaning of the other person's words. However, after thinking for a while, he still didn't understand what Cheng Hanyu wanted to express. He asked tentatively, "How do you want to thank me?"

"I owe you for now, and I'll let you know when I think about it." Cheng Hanyu seemed to say this casually, with the same attitude and tone.

Xu Xiaoen thought for a while. Cheng Hanyu had helped him so much and the remuneration should be reasonable. He nodded, "Okay, then Lawyer Cheng will tell me if he has thought about it."

When Cheng Hanyu heard Xu Xiaoen's words, the corners of his lips slightly raised inadvertently.

The car continued to move forward. In recent years, the whole Yanjing is full of New Year atmosphere. Red lanterns hanging high can be seen everywhere. Xu Xiaoen pressed his cheek against the car window and looked at the scenery outside the window.

Just now, she thought that the panic of accidentally killing Fan Yan was over, but her inner uneasiness did not lessen. She thought that she had not been affected by Zhu Jun in the past few years. Only today did she realize that it was not the case. The frightened life of the past three years seemed to have passed. , but the hurt left in her heart was not completely erased, which made her couldn't help but think about the way Gigi woke up from her dreams occasionally. Was she also trapped in it?

"What are you thinking about?" Cheng Hanyu turned his head and saw the woman's shadow reflected on the car window. Her eyes were empty and lonely, with a touch of sadness, which made his heart feel lightly pricked, and he inadvertently felt asked out loud.

Maybe the music playing in the car was too soothing, or maybe she had been depressed for too long in the past few years. When Cheng Hanyu asked this question, she actually felt the desire to talk, and her voice was slightly hoarse because of the shock. He murmured, "I am thinking about where is my home among all the lights in these houses."

She came to this city when she was 18 years old, and now she is about to turn 27. For nine years, she has achieved nothing. She can neither give her daughter a stable life nor material prosperity. Useless love.

People's sense of powerlessness sometimes comes really suddenly.

Such as this moment.

Cheng Hanyu didn't expect that Xu Xiaoen would tell him what was in his heart, but he was also hurt for no reason. It turned out that she wanted a home of her own.

Only after Xu Xiaoen answered did she realize her gaffe, and hurriedly regained her composure to explain, "House prices in Yanjing are too expensive. With my ability, I'm afraid I'll have to rent a house for the rest of my life."

After saying that, he smiled to hide his embarrassment.

Cheng Hanyu didn't smile, he glanced at Xu Xiaoen lightly and continued driving.

Xu Xiaoen was so embarrassed. Thinking of this man's annual salary and the price of the Rose Valley villa, she immediately wanted to cover her face. How could a naturally noble man like Cheng Hanyu understand the feelings of a poor mortal like her? How many houses? What is poverty? Does he understand?

Sighing softly, Xu Xiaoen simply continued to watch the car scene to cover up his embarrassment.

When they arrived at Rose Valley, Cheng Hanyu first went to pick up Jiji from the property, and then took the mother and daughter to answer questions. Unexpectedly, when he opened the door, he saw his mother sitting in the living room.

The movement of Cheng Hanyu's hand stagnated for a moment, and then he hung up his coat as usual. However, Jiji had already rushed to Cheng's mother and called out "Grandma Cheng" tenderly.

All the mental construction that Cheng's mother had done when she arrived collapsed at the sound of Jiji's cry, and she hurriedly caught the little girl, "Does Jiji miss grandma?"

Cheng was deliberately ignored.

Jiji nodded her head hard, "I'm thinking about it. Does grandma miss Jiji?"

"I wonder, grandma misses my baby Jiji." Cheng's mother said and picked up Jiji.

Cheng Hanyu strode forward and wanted to take Jiji, "Mom, Jiji is not young anymore. Please be careful and don't drop her."

Mother Cheng glared at her son angrily, held Jiji firmly and looked at Xu Xiaoen carefully.

Only then did Xu Xiaoen have time to interject, "Hello, Aunt Cheng."

"Yes." Although Cheng's mother felt that Xu Xiaoen's conditions were indeed not good enough for her own son, she held Jiji in her arms with a guilty conscience and did not dare to be too cold. She said arrogantly and asked, " Why are you back so late today?"

"this……"

"I got off work a little late." Xu Xiaoen was about to answer Cheng's mother honestly, but Cheng Hanyu interrupted her.

Seeing her son protecting Xu Xiaoen like this, Cheng's mother didn't know whether to be happy or sad. She sighed softly, "Okay, don't let Xiaoen cook so late today. I came over to bring the meal."

"Then Jiji and I will go there first, tomorrow..."

"Let's eat together." Before Xu Xiaoen could finish her refusal, Cheng's mother interrupted her.

"Inappropriate..." Before Xu Xiaoen could finish her words, she caught the man's gaze and swallowed the last word, taking the initiative to serve the dishes.

Jiji liked Cheng Hanyu and Cheng's mother, and was very happy to see her mother staying and answered Cheng's mother's questions.

After listening for a while, Cheng's mother suddenly raised her head and asked Xu Xiaoen, "Jiji is in the nursery class at the property during the day?"

Xu Xiaoen said softly, but there was guilt hidden in it.

Cheng's mother had investigated Xu Xiaoen's situation and knew that she had no choice but to feel sorry for Jiji. After thinking about it, she asked, "How about this? From now on, you can send Jiji to my place when you are working during the day, and you will get off work at night." Should I ask the driver to deliver it again?"

Xu Xiaoen raised her head in surprise after hearing this. She always felt that Cheng's mother was a little too kind to Jiji. She tightened her hands holding the dishes and tried her best to appear calm, "Thank you Aunt Cheng for your kindness. It's just that Jiji is naughty, so I won't give it to you." It’s causing trouble.”

"No trouble, no..."

"You don't think it's troublesome, Jiji's more than two hours' drive back and forth is troublesome." Cheng's mother waved her hands and was said to be scolded by her own son.

Cheng's mother looked at her son with disgust and asked Jiji.

Jiji is young but very smart. She understands that her mother means not agreeing. Although she likes Cheng’s mother very much, she shakes her little head and says, "Jiji likes grandma, but Jiji promised Ruirui to play with him every day. I am no longer a girl." Two-year-old children must keep their word.”

The three of them were amused by little Master Jiji's words, and Cheng's mother did not continue to ask. However, Xu Xiaoen still noticed changes in Cheng's mother's attitude towards Jiji and her, and felt uneasy. Could it be that Cheng's mother knew something?

But if Mother Cheng really knew something, shouldn't the first thing she did was confront her?

After finishing dinner in such a panic, Xu Xiaoen took Jiji back to the other side until Jiji fell asleep. She was thinking about it, but in the end she didn't come up with any results. She just prepared breakfast and lunch for tomorrow. Material.

But she didn't know if there were too many things that happened today and the mood swings were too high. She couldn't do anything without her mind, so she simply took out a beer from the refrigerator and stepped on her slippers to go up to the third floor of the villa for the first time.

She knew there was a terrace above, but she had never been there. Today she threw away her usual caution and just wanted to let her depressed heart breathe.

Xu Xiaoen was frightened by the closeness Cheng's mother showed to Jiji today. Although both Cheng Hanyu and Jiji rejected Cheng's mother, she still felt scared.

She has not been in contact with Cheng Hanyu for a long time, but she also knows that men are true gentlemen. If one day he knows Jiji's life experience, he may not compete with her for Jiji's custody rights, but what about Cheng's mother?

Or what about the Cheng family?

Just like when Fan Yan fell in front of her today, she only had fear and fear. When the Cheng family wants Jiji, what ability will she have to fight for it?

She can't save love, marriage, or job. What if she can't save Jiji in the end?

The most desperate time for people is probably when they realize their own incompetence.

Xu Xiaoen was wrapped in a thick down jacket and sitting on the balcony of the third floor. The cold beer entered her stomach, which was so cold that it penetrated her heart and showed her failure vividly.

During the day, she had to pretend not to care in front of her colleagues, she had to be a good mother and a good role model in front of Jiji, and she couldn't show any flaws in front of Cheng Hanyu. Only at this moment she was herself, a mournful Xu Xiaoen.

Cheng Hanyu felt a little tight in his chest due to his mother's attitude before leaving. After finishing his work, he went up to the third floor to get some air. As soon as he lit his cigarette, he saw that the third floor opposite Xu Xiaoen was also lit up.

The distance between the two villas was very close. He could easily see what Xu Xiaoen was doing from here. After looking at it for a while, he realized that the woman was drinking. This knowledge went around in his mind, and he looked at the opposite side again before confirming it. I saw it right, that woman was really drinking.

"Ha." Cheng Hanyu chuckled softly, which was mixed with surprise and worry. The men's cigarette on his middle finger was clearly extinguished, but his eyes were always paying attention to Xu Xiaoen's movements. He found that his cigarette was about to burn out, and Xu Xiaoen was still drinking. Is this woman crazy? Unexpectedly, at this moment, Xu Xiaoen suddenly staggered toward the rooftop and began to climb out with bare hands.

Cheng Hanyu suddenly felt a chill all over his body. He stamped out the cigarette butt and ran downstairs. He opened it all the way to the next door and opened Xu Xiaoen's door. He rushed up to the third floor and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Xu Xiaoen, who was still climbing with bare hands. At the same time, he rushed forward and pulled the person into his arms, and cursed coldly, "Xu Xiaoen, you are crazy!"

Xu Xiaoen felt that she was really drunk, and she actually saw Cheng Hanyu, who was still hugging her. Then he felt aggrieved, raised his little head and asked, "Why are you being mean to me!"

Cheng Hanyu was ready to listen to Xu Xiaoen's various excuses, but he didn't expect that the other party would ask him why he hurt her at this time. This question was completely beyond his logic. He was a little stuck for a moment, and he denied it awkwardly, "Why did I hurt you?" ?”

"Just be mean to me, you men are not good things!" Xu Xiaoen said angrily, isn't that true? One of them has been in love with her for many years, but couldn't resist the temptation and slept with another woman. The other one seems to be gentle and considerate, but in fact He is just a beast. The person in front of him is very good, but unfortunately he is also a bastard. After having sex with her, he completely forgot about her, and even made her pregnant before marriage.

Cheng Hanyu, "..."

Glancing at the canned beer bottles not far away, and then looking at the red-faced woman in his arms who smelled of alcohol, he endured it and said, "You're drunk."

"I know!" Xu Xiaoen answered very loudly when she heard this. Of course she knew that she was drunk, otherwise how could she see Cheng Hanyu in the middle of the night.

But Cheng Hanyu was a little uncomfortable with her confident tone. He looked at the woman carefully with his deep eyes, "Drunk?"

"Yes, otherwise why would you be here? Hee hee." After changing his anger, Xu Xiaoen softened his tone, let out a bad hee hee, and then pinched Cheng Hanyu's cheek suddenly, "Tsk tsk, you have such a face It’s also soft.”

Cheng Hanyu, "..." Could it be that his face was hard in her eyes?

Then he heard the woman continue to babble, "I thought icebergs were all hard, but...hehe, let me tell you a secret, I already knew they were soft."

Cheng Hanyu's body stiffened slightly and he kissed softly in a calm voice, "How did you know?"

After hearing this, Xu Xiaoen's blushing face showed a trace of pride, "Of course I have touched him, tsk tsk, I have not only touched his face, but also his abdominal muscles? They are super hard."

Cheng Hanyu, "...well, are there any more?"

He was already sure that Xu Xiaoen was really drunk.

After hearing this, Xu Xiaoen tilted her head and thought seriously. Her appearance was in sync with Jiji's, but Jiji looked cute and cute when she did this action, but the woman in front of her did it with an indescribable coquettishness. Cheng Hanyu looked at her, I know I shouldn't be doing this, but I can't help but follow the temptation.

Xu Xiaoen, who had been thinking for a while, smiled and said, "And..."
