Ai Qi stared at herself in the mirror intently. Because of her pregnancy, her face was already a little swollen and had an unhealthy pale color.She is almost 30 years old, and she is no longer the beautiful, proud, and invincible her. Her youth and ideals have long since disappeared with the ruthless years.

Ai Qi doesn't like this kind of self, and even hates this kind of self.Who said that a woman who is going to be a mother is the happiest woman?Some people say that a woman in a wedding dress is the happiest woman?

Ai Qi gradually understood that the so-called happiness does not lie in the form, but in who is by her side.Just like...the days when they were together with He Shengnan, none of them thought about what the future would be like, but they had youth and lovers, as well as sweet and beautiful love.

She was the only one in the huge room, and Ai Qi boldly opened the small cabinet at the bottom of the dressing table, and took out a small jewelry box from the inconspicuous place at the bottom of the small cabinet.

Ai Qi's palms were sweating, she opened the box tremblingly, and squeezed out a silver ring from inside.

The ring was shiny, not at all like it was ten years ago. There were no traces of oxidation and rust on it, and it was obviously well maintained by the owner.

Ai Qi pinched the ring and faced the direction of the sun.Under the sun, a line of golden cursive words flashed inside the ring——

my love

I don't know how He Shengnan will feel if he sees this line of cursive characters.

Looking at that line of writing, Ai Qi's heart felt as if a knife was being twisted, and her tears could no longer be held back.She knew that as a pregnant woman, she cried, she was depressed, it was bad for the baby in her womb, but she couldn't help herself.

Involuntarily stroking her raised belly, Ai Qi's heart hung high again.Ever since she knew she was pregnant, she wanted to abort the child countless times, but lost her courage countless times.She hated her cowardice. Where did the proud and decisive self go?

Everyone knew that the child was innocent, but how was this child conceived?Ai Qi didn't have the courage to recall any more, she felt... humiliated.

"What are you looking at?" A cold voice sounded from behind Ai Qi, and at some point, Lu Feng came in.

Ai Qi was frightened, subconsciously stuffed the silver ring into the jewelry box, and was in a hurry.

"Reminiscing about your old lover again?" Lu Feng grabbed Ai Qi's wrist relentlessly, stopping her movement, with a dangerous look on his face, "Do you think I'm blind?"

"You let go!" Ai Qi screamed, her wrist was pinched to the point of breaking it.

"Let go?" Lu Feng sneered, "Why let go? You are my wife! I can do whatever I want to you!"

Ai Qi's heart constricted, and she thought of those humiliating things again. With strength from nowhere, she broke free from Lu Feng's restraint, and at the same time, she herself fell to the floor.

"Wife! Wife, are you alright?" Lu Feng was terrified, and rushed up to grab her in a hurry, "It didn't break, did it?"

"Devil! Lu Feng, you are a devil!" Ai Qi suddenly became hysterical, she screamed crazily, and her long hair, which was originally meticulously combed, was scattered on her shoulders.

Lu Feng was also in a hurry: "I'm not forced by you! How many years have I liked you! What about you? You only have that shameless woman in your heart, don't you feel disgusted?"

Snapped--

A slap was firmly slapped on Lu Feng's face.

Lu Feng stared at Ai Qi who was trembling with her hands raised in disbelief, "You fucking hit me! How dare you hit me!"

He said, pushing Ai Qi to the floor like crazy, and put his hand on Ai Qi's neck, "I have liked you for more than ten years! In order to marry you, and for your mother who hates poverty and loves rich, I am here How many scoldings have my parents changed? What about you? Do you take me as your husband? Ah? You are still pregnant with my child! Do you think you can run away? "

Ai Qi closed her eyes in despair, let him clenched her hands tighter and tighter, and said with difficulty: "Let's get divorced."

Her voice was hoarse, and her lips were blue-purple due to lack of oxygen.

Lu Feng was really frightened, he let go of her, and hugged her tightly, angrily: "We can't divorce! My wife, we can't divorce! I love you, my wife!"

Ai Qi burst into tears weakly.

"Wife, do you think I treat you well? You are afraid that you will be wronged in the hospital, so I will move my private doctor and nurse to take care of you at home... Wife, why are you willing to divorce me!"

Ai Qi suddenly opened her eyes, looked at Lu Feng, and felt that he was really hateful and pathetic, "Lu Feng, are you treating me right? You don't allow me to go anywhere, you don't allow me to see anyone... This is not the same as imprisonment. What's the difference?"

"Wife! Wife, as long as you don't get a divorce, I promise you anything! Let's go abroad! Let's go and settle abroad, and we won't care about domestic affairs anymore! Never again..." Lu Feng said in a panic.

Ai Qi felt that Lu Feng in front of her eyes was becoming more and more blurred, and her ears seemed to be deaf. She couldn't hear everything he said clearly.She gradually lost consciousness...

a city.

After He Shengnan got out of the airport and got into a taxi, he couldn't wait to take out the small mirror, and looked left and right to examine his face carefully.

Needless to say, the scar removal cream is really effective.As for the spots on her face that were left by the two unreasonable old ladies, after three days of continuous wiping, it has faded away, and the traces cannot be seen unless you look carefully.

I don't know if this thing has hormone ingredients, otherwise how can it be so effective?

He Shengnan thought to himself.

However, she doesn't care so much now, as long as her mother doesn't see the injury on her face, everything will be fine.

Everything is just to cover up.

Thinking of this, He Shengnan froze.She remembered that the business dinner was the one where she overheard the scar removal ointment in the mouth of a certain celebrity, wasn't it hosted by Lu Shi?And those eight-year-old ladies, aren't they the "daughters-in-law of the Lu family"?

Reminiscent of what Fang Han said about Ai Qi that day... He Shengnan's calmness that he has experienced for many years is almost overwhelmed.

For three days, she forced herself not to think about it, but every time she closed her eyes at night, what appeared in front of her eyes was either the past with Ai Qi, or how Xiao Xiang's Ai Qi was being tortured by Lu Feng.

Several times, He Shengnan wanted to rush out the door, went to Lu's house to snatch Ai Qi, and took her away.But that's just thinking about it, she has already passed the impulsive age.Not to mention whether Ai Qi will go with her, but after she left?Isn't it up to Ai Qi to clean up the mess?

Aki, Aki...

He Shengnan had a headache thinking about it, and she urgently needed to go back to her mother's side to replenish some energy, so as not to have a nervous breakdown.

He Shengnan's family lives in an old community.This area is a community built in the early 90s, the last batch of welfare housing for Beijing Peking Opera Theater.Later, the public property was changed into private property one after another. The older generation retired, either moved away with their children to enjoy the blessings, or passed away, and there are not many old neighbors left.

He Shengnan asked the taxi driver to stop at the door of his grocery store at the corner of the gate of the community, paid the money, and got off the car with his suitcase.Before she could get ready to see her mother, she glanced away unintentionally, and was taken aback——

There are several wreaths standing at the entrance of the next-door unit.

In recent years, several retired old neighbors in the Peking Opera Theater have passed away, and He Shengnan is more sensitive. She pulled the suitcase forward and read the words on the wreath: Mr. Duan Moumou is eternal.

He Shengnan was stunned, isn't this Uncle Duan, my mother's luthier back then?

He Shengnan remembers clearly that when he was young, there were always a few gossips in the community who loved her and her mother behind their backs, and their cubs often bullied He Shengnan.Uncle Duan came forward to send them away several times.She also heard from her mother that Uncle Duan was very kind to her mother back then.When He Shengnan grew up, he secretly guessed that Uncle Duan had liked her mother when he was young.One is a luthier and the other is a pillar, what a combination!

What's the matter, Uncle Duan is just... gone?He Shengnan felt very sad.

Just as he was in a daze, He Yu came out from that unit, accompanied by Uncle Duan's daughter.

"Mom!" He Shengnan yelled and went up to meet her.

"Your Uncle Duan was kind to you when you were young, and you should give him off when he's gone." He Yu said while cooking in the kitchen.

"Well, I'll see him off," He Shengnan agreed, and took the dish from her mother, "Mom, take a break. There are so many dishes, it's enough to eat."

He Yu's eyes fell on her face, and he paused for two seconds, but he didn't say anything, but cooked another dish.

He Shengnan knew that her mother loved her dearly, and that she was afraid that she would not be able to eat enough outside alone, which meant pity for all the parents in the world.He Shengnan no longer stopped her mother, but started fighting more actively.

"Old colleagues, they're all gone... These days are truly unreal!" He Yu sighed.

He Shengnan looked at her mother secretly, feeling that it had been a long time since she had seen her, and new wrinkles had appeared on her mother's face. He felt sore and uncomfortable, and secretly determined to drag her mother away to enjoy the blessing this time.

"Mom, Uncle Duan is leaving tomorrow, I'll go for you." He Shengnan said.She was worried that her mother would fall in love with the scene, and she felt even more sad.

He Yu turned to look at her, noncommittal.

He Shengnan understood her mother's temperament and knew that she agreed.So smiling, he climbed onto He Yu's arm and put his arms around his shoulders, "Mom, I'll sleep with you tonight!"

"Go, go! How old is a girl, and she still depends on her mother, is she ashamed?" He Yu said with disgust, but let He Shengnan twist and twist herself.

"Depending on my mother, what's the shame?" He Shengnan said cheekily.

Only when he gets close to his mother and immerses himself in the atmosphere of the home he has been used to for 30 years, can He Shengnan feel that his whole body is charged with electricity, and she has the courage to continue to stick to what she insists on.
