Chapter 370 Kitten
Chapter 370 Kitten
The old matter was brought up again. Although Su Muqing no longer took it to heart, she had to think deeply about it after hearing Xu Mingyuan mention it several times.
It would be fine if Xu Mingyuan didn't believe in herself, but Su Muqing could still prove it with herself.
But Xu Mingyuan reminded her again after hearing the name Qin Zheng, which made Su Muqing puzzled.
Qin Zheng is a good person, at least Su Muqing thinks so, and he is also Qin Man’s biological brother.
Recalling Xu Mingyuan's contemplation, Su Muqing thought that it was not as if he knew Qin Zheng without going beyond Qin Man.
Why is that? Could it be that Xu Mingyuan did it on purpose?
Or had he heard something?
Even if he wanted to sow discord between them because he disliked Qin Man? Xu Mingyuan was a little petty, but not to this extent, right?
It's impossible that just because Qin Man is the daughter of an extra child, this family doesn't follow the law? This is too ridiculous...
That is, Xu Mingyuan had heard about some things about Qin Zheng, but he himself did not know.
In fact, Xu Mingyuan knew nothing, he just felt that the name sounded familiar.
After all, men also gossip a lot, but unlike women, men are not interested in trivial things like family matters. They mostly talk about inside information and treat it as interesting topics over dinner.
As the saying goes, good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels far and wide. It is impossible for a group of men to talk about bright and noble things after dinner.
As long as Xu Mingyuan feels that a person's name sounds familiar, it is most likely not a good person, otherwise it would not become a source of entertainment for everyone.
Of course, it is also possible that Xu Mingyuan guessed wrong, and he just heard of Qin Zheng's name by chance, or because of a great and glorious thing.
But even if Xu Mingyuan was wrong, Su Muqing wouldn't lose anything. Isn't it just a kind reminder? Whether she believed it or not, it had nothing to do with her.
Su Muqing couldn't guess, so she made several phone calls in the past few days, just to ask what the reason was. After all, it was related to her own life and property, so how could she dare not ask clearly?
But how could Xu Mingyuan give the correct answer?
Su Muqing and I are not very familiar with each other. We have only met a few times, and the total time we spent together is not even as long as the meal we had a few days ago. How could I know all the inside stories about her past?
Xu Mingyuan was annoyed by the questions and stopped answering Su Muqing's calls.
Xu Mingyuan, who is in a high position, never needs to consider Su Muqing's thoughts.
In Xu Mingyuan's eyes, Su Muqing is at best a collaborator, and her needs for him are far greater than his needs for her.
Su Muqing knew it was not a good idea to disturb him anymore, so she sent a thank you text message to mark the end of the conversation.
What made Su Muqing speechless the most was that Xu Mingyuan didn't like others beating around the bush, but he liked to be roundabout to others.
What a double standard...
……
Double standards are for outsiders to see, but Xu Mingyuan is absolutely single-minded internally...
This can no longer be considered as such now.
At this moment, Xiao Yangzhi was lying in Xu Mingyuan's arms, so he had no time to care about Xiao Taotao...
Spring flowers and autumn moon are Yang Zhi’s two favorite seasons.
The sun is shining and the temperature is just right.
The temperature is neither too hot nor too cold, the scenery is beautiful, and especially the fresh air after the rain, taking a deep breath feels like a luxury. Even the newly sprouted branches and leaves are verdant green, without a trace of dust.
Yangzhi loves cleanliness and feels happy whenever she sees clean things.
The first thing I do when I wake up every day is to open the curtains and look into the distance, greeting the new day with a relaxed mood.
But today Xu Mingyuan was at home, so Yang Zhi couldn't draw the curtains. She tiptoed to the window, stuck her head through the crack, and quietly looked at the scenery outside.
When we just moved last year, the leaves outside were almost all gone, and it was bleak outside the window. Naturally, Yang Zhi was not used to living there.
After the snow falls, the view outside the window becomes beautiful.
Now, it has become full of vitality again.
Yang Zhi likes to observe all the small details. Although she sometimes feels tired, she can also discover scenery that others don’t notice.
A life that is getting better day by day makes people feel happiest.
Yang Zhi is like this. She never asks for much and feels very good as long as she has just enough.
Seeing Xiao Yangzhi pulling the curtains around her neck with both hands to prevent the light from entering the room, Xu Mingyuan wanted to laugh, but he didn't know why.
Imitating Xiao Yangzhi's actions, he walked stealthily to her side, suddenly pressed her shoulders, ready to scare her.
"Hey!"
Xu Mingyuan shouted softly.
"Brother, are you up?"
Yang Zhi put down his hands, turned his head and asked calmly. "Hey? Why aren't you scared?"
Xu Mingyuan was very surprised to see that Xiao Yangzhi didn't even tremble. If it were Tao Shuxin, she would have jumped up high.
"Uh, do I need to be scared?"
Yang Zhi's face was slightly conflicted, and she didn't know whether she should show him how scared she was.
"..." Xu Mingyuan was somewhat helpless with this boring little girl, so he could only say: "You have sharp ears. I felt that I walked very lightly, but I didn't expect you to hear it."
"I didn't hear anything. The door was locked. You're the only one left besides me. Of course I'm not afraid."
Yang Zhi, who had relaxed all his vigilance in the room, answered as a matter of course.
"Ha, that's right."
Xu Ming smiled, gently put his arms around her soft belly from behind, rested his chin on her shoulder, and stayed in a daze with her for a while.
Yang Zhi never felt that there was anything wrong with such an intimate gesture. On the contrary, she took the initiative to strive for it.
Yang Zhi's heart rate rarely speeds up, except when she is first touched, which causes emotional fluctuations due to shyness, but it never happens again after that.
What Yang Zhi likes is a comfortable and warm life. All the exciting things are not suitable for her. It is fine for her to stay quietly.
This is also why Xu Mingyuan thinks the way they get along is strange. Of course, Yang Zhi, who is in adolescence, will have some feelings hidden in her relationship, but more of it is attachment.
And as Xiao Yangzhi grows older, this tendency becomes more and more pronounced. It's like a couple who have been married for many years holding hands, but it's like the left hand holding the right hand, and there's less passion.
Xiao Yangzhi can do this, but Xu Mingyuan can't.
With a pretty little girl snuggling in his arms all day long, it was hard for Xu Mingyuan not to have dirty thoughts.
Although Xiao Yangzhi certainly didn't mind, Xu Mingyuan always had an inexplicable feeling of being unable to let go.
It's not a moral reason, but the emotion conveyed by the little poplar twig.
Perhaps what Xiao Yangzhi was pursuing was a platonic way of getting along with others, which made Xu Mingyuan feel guilty every time he wanted to transform into a big bad wolf.
Because every time he met her eyes that were clearer than lake water, Xu Mingyuan's fingers would tremble slightly when he thought about the next step.
In fact, Yang Zhi also found it difficult to understand Xu Mingyuan. Since he had thought about it, then just come. Why be so pretentious...
But if Yang Zhi was really asked to take the initiative, she wouldn't dare to do so. After all, she could only do small things secretly.
It was already great to be able to reach this point. It would be too embarrassing to take the initiative in front of Xu Mingyuan...
From Xiao Yangzhi, Xu Mingyuan could see that ten, twenty years later, or even longer, the two of them would definitely still be standing in front of the window like they were now, staring outside and being in a daze together.
However, Xu Mingyuan also accepted the life offered by Xiao Yangzhi.
There is nothing wrong with having a life that you can predict. At least you don’t have to worry about unexpected changes in life.
"After breakfast, shall we go out for a walk?"
But in the end, Xu Mingyuan couldn't stand Xiao Yangzhi and was the first to speak, breaking the silence.
Xiao Yangzhi can compete with the monks in patience, so it is really too difficult for Xu Mingyuan, a man who can't sit still, to compete with her.
"Um……"
Yang Zhi hesitantly squeezed out a tiny sound from his nose, with a little reluctance.
Although she is a submissive person, after spending a long time with Xu Mingyuan, she will also make small requests of her own.
What's the good of going out for a walk? There are so many people here. Wouldn't it be better to just hug each other at home?
"Let's not go too far. Let's take a stroll along the Xiaoqing River over there. It's right at our doorstep. You see, it's only two or three hundred meters away. It will take only three to five minutes to get there." Xu Mingyuan said, pointing into the distance.
Xu Mingyuan no longer doubted that Xiao Yangzhi would get sick from staying at home, because she was a quiet person, and she would develop psychological problems if he always took her out to play.
But it is impossible to let her stay at home all the time. What if she has a child in the future? Can we let the next generation stay at home as well?
"Okay."
Yang Zhi nodded. She was satisfied now. It was nice to go out and get some fresh air. She could go home in just two steps.
While nodding, Yang Zhi suddenly rubbed Xu Mingyuan's chin.
Not only myself, but my brother is also growing up. His chin used to be smooth, but now he has a slight stubble.
The rubbing was quite comfortable, Yang Zhi couldn't help but rub it gently with her delicate face, then twice, three times...
Like a kitten...
