Trajectory 2: entangled curves

Han Moli took a deep breath and was about to pick up his chopsticks, but Zhuge Qinuo stopped him with his chopsticks: "You came so late, you should have eaten over there, don't eat again. Since you are here, go and spend more time with the children."

It was mealtime now, how could Han Moli have a place to eat? However, Zhuge Qinuo's meaning was very clear, and there was someone else sitting opposite him, so he was embarrassed to "beg for food".

"Dad, dad, how do we do this? My brother doesn't know how to do it either." Han Xin ran out with Han Moli's newly bought toy, like a little savior.

Han Moli stood up and ran over to accompany him.

Zhuge Qinuo also put down his chopsticks.

"Not eating anymore? I actually hope he can sit here for a while longer so you can eat more."

Huang Cangran said with a helpless smile.

Zhuge Qinuo: "I'm sorry."

"It's okay. Fortunately, I just ate something. It's not convenient for me to be here, so you can take the trouble to clean up. I'll leave first. You can handle it. Right."

Huang Cangran knew very well that for the sake of his children, it was not appropriate for him to stay here under the current circumstances.

After receiving Zhuge Qinuo's affirmative nod, Huang Cangran was still worried: "Do you need me to stay here?"

Zhuge Qinuo: "Don't worry, no need! I can handle it."

"If you have anything, feel free to contact me and I'll be there soon."

He stood up, took his things and prepared to leave. Han Moli just came out and said, "Brother-in-law, please sit for a while."

Huang Cangran stopped and waited for Han Moli to approach: "No, you and Nuo'er are no longer related, so I am not your brother-in-law. You should change your name."

The voice was not loud, but it was full of suppressed anger and warning.

Han Moli was stunned.

Huang Cangran didn't stay for a moment and turned and left.

Zhuge Qinuo looked at the table full of food, including Huang Cangran's special sauce, sat down and continued eating.

Han Moli endured his hunger and waited for her to finish eating, wanting to help clean up, but was rejected.

Zhuge Qinuo packed up his things and heard some noise. He knew Han Moli was still in the children's room, so he went back to his room.

In the past, Han Moli was able to spend time with the children well, but when it was time to go to bed, the children began to dislike the idea of ​​Han Moli telling them bedtime stories.

Both children came to Zhuge Qinuo. She also knew that the two children disliked the smell of cigarettes on Han Moli and didn't like him lying on their bed to tell stories. So she refused a little at first, and then, at the children's insistence, she went to accompany them to read and sleep as usual.

When she came back, she saw Han Moli sitting at the head of the bed.

"This is inappropriate." Zhuge Qinuo's face turned cold instantly.

She had put up with him for a long time.

"We can't let the children know, so this is the only way. When they fall asleep, I'll just sleep on the floor," said Han Moli.

"No." Zhuge Qinuo refused decisively, "This won't work. Either you go to another room, or you leave. If you really care about what they think, their alarm clock will set at 7 o'clock tomorrow, so just come back before then."

Han Moli didn't move: "It's so late, and you still want me to leave? We have to maintain this state for a long time, this is not a solution."

Zhuge Qinuo smiled: "The children don't know. But legally, we are no longer related. You are still another woman's... boyfriend? Husband-to-be? In short, the father-to-be of another child. Even if you leave, although it's a bit troublesome, it's only once a week. Go to bed late and get up early. Can't you do it?"

"Okay, I'll go to the other room. Which one?"

"Whatever, make your own bed." Zhuge Qinuo lay down on the bed, covered himself with the quilt and turned his back to Han Moli. "Same thing, pack up your things before getting up the next morning."

"it is good."

"And, take your stuff."

Not even a single unnecessary glance.

Han Moli walked out of the room in shame.

Thinking about where he should stay, he walked into the guest room, found the bedding inside, and simply spread it out. He was glad that he had such a guest room, and couldn't help but think of the time when he bought this house.

Zhuge Qinuo bought this house in order to live separately from his parents, so they considered a lot when buying the house.

A large flat with 5 bedrooms. Because his parents did not support the loan to buy a house, they almost spent all their movable property when they bought the house.

He still remembered that when he moved in on the first night, Zhuge Qinuo said, "It would be nice to have more bedrooms."

He even laughed at her, "That's enough! We have five bedrooms for our family. Isn't that enough? One bedroom per person is enough. If we add another one, we won't even be able to afford pickled mustard tuber buns."

"We have one bedroom. The children will grow up, and when they get older, my brother and I can no longer sleep on bunk beds, so we need two. If we are too busy, we will need an aunt, so we need a room. If your parents want to stay, they also need one. There are five rooms here. And just in case, we also need to prepare a guest room."

"Just in case what? Just in case we have another daughter."

……

Han Moli tidied up his bedding and unconsciously recalled many past events.

I remembered that Zhuge Qinuo said this house was for them to live in during their retirement.

I remember her saying, "After buying this house, we will work hard to earn money to buy two houses for our sons. Then when they get married, we can just buy two cars to get them married, and we as parents can retire with honor."

"In fact, you don't need to put too much pressure on yourself. Just buy one house and give it to them. When we get old, we can travel. When we can't travel anymore, we can go to a nursing home. It won't hinder them."

As she planned, the two of them worked together and bought another house in full. These two houses were allocated to Zhuge Qinuo in the agreement. Han Moli seemed to understand why she wanted these things when they divorced. Whether it was the two houses or the company's shares, they were all related to her. The house was her plan for their and their children's future, and the company was the platform they built from scratch with their joint efforts. After the company was on the right track, she looked for other things to do - opening a training school, and this was what she wanted to do.

He finally understood why Zhuge Qinuo never mentioned it again even though they had enough money in the past two years to achieve their next goal - buying a second house for their children.

So, when did she know about his romantic life? How much did she endure when he was at the peak of his career? Her pain was deeper than he originally thought, and lasted longer than he knew.

He always thought that, apart from a little bit of infidelity, he still loved her. He cared about the children, and he never thought about not shouldering the responsibility of the family, let alone divorce. He didn't even think that was loyalty. At the beginning, he thought he was wrong, just making the same mistakes that all men would make. Later, when the occasional cheating was not discovered, he had successfully convinced himself that it was a purposeful affair. As for the in-depth communication after the affair, it was just a way for him to relax. He walked through a sea of ​​flowers without getting a single leaf on him. Compared with his friends who had a small family outside, he was already quite family-oriented. Of course, the appearance of Yang Qiang was an exception.

But what exactly is family responsibility? Is it just to go home, bear the family expenses, and give some occasional care?

It is not a day's cold, it turns out that divorce and separation have become inevitable long ago. However, he indulged in the gentleness of the land and the nights of revelry, and never noticed it.

His stomach growled with hunger, and he irritably turned on the TV, which was playing a cheerful variety show.

This reminded him of the days when he and Zhuge Qinuo would order various midnight snacks and watch variety shows while eating. When had he lost this kind of happiness?

Did it start when she said she wanted to lose weight and stopped eating midnight snacks? Or did it start when he came back and stopped ordering midnight snacks because he was full outside? Or did it start when he followed Yang Qiang's habit after meeting her and felt that eating midnight snacks was unhealthy and unrefined, and wanted to be on the same wavelength as her? Without Zhuge Qinuo and Yang Qiang, he fell into deep thought and then fell asleep.
