The weather in August is still very hot, even in the morning, when Fang Yinuo opened the window to ventilate, he could still feel the heat.He didn't fall asleep until three o'clock in the morning last night, and now even if he opened his eyes, his head was dizzy.I haven't thought about the past for a long time, and when I think of it suddenly, I have insomnia.

When she came out of the room, she saw Lin Qiaoqiao who also had two dark circles under her eyes.The two looked at each other, both laughed, and asked at the same time, "Did you not sleep well yesterday?"

Fang Yinuo said first: "Well, my mind was a little messed up yesterday, and I couldn't fall asleep after that point. You didn't sleep well, did you run around, he went to bed early last night, and he was afraid that he would wake up in the middle of the night and trouble you, right? .”

Lin Qiaoqiao shook her head and said, "Benben slept soundly yesterday, I'm annoyed by Tao Xurui. This man is like a cowhide plaster, and now he's stuck to us, even thinking about it makes me feel annoying."

Originally, Lin Qiaoqiao wasn't going to talk to Tao Xurui, so he could do whatever he wanted.She adopted the principle of ignoring, not knowing, and not approaching.But Ji Qin appeared suddenly, which made Lin Qiaoqiao feel a sense of crisis. Compared with her own bad things in the past, she was more afraid that Fang Yinuo would be hurt by Ji Qin again, so she naturally tried to get rid of Tao Xurui first. , and then deal with Ji Qin.

So, it was late to bed.But Lin Qiaoqiao wasn't going to tell Fang Yinuo these words.This man has always shielded her from the wind and rain, and has taken on responsibilities that he shouldn't have. Now it's time for her to protect Fang Yinuo.

"It's okay, don't worry about them. Now we are a husband and wife, and Benben is here. He is just a grasshopper after autumn. He won't be able to jump for a few days. Well, be happy, we are unhappy as parents, Benben should be uncomfortable Yes. Just for Benben, we should live happily every day, and no one should spoil our mood." Fang Yinuo comforted with a smile.

The two had a conversation, made breakfast together, and after breakfast, sent Fang Yinuo to work, Lin Qiaoqiao sent Benben to Ding Jiaojiao to stay for a while, and dialed the familiar phone number that he could recite fluently I sent a text message and asked Tao Xurui to meet.

Tao Xurui's heart beat a few beats faster when he received Lin Qiaoqiao's text message. Even if he knew that Lin Qiaoqiao was looking for him, he would not get back together with him as he thought.It might be a rare opportunity for Tao Xurui to have a good talk with Lin Qiaoqiao.

He specially found a suit that best reflected his figure, and then went to the top stylist to make a suit that could blind a little girl's eyes.Like a male peacock spreading its screen, it is necessary to leave the most perfect side in front of Lin Qiaoqiao.

Lin Qiaoqiao's appointment was at a chain cafe, and Tao Xurui arrived an hour early and waited.Lin Qiaoqiao didn't make him wait any longer, and Lin Qiaoqiao came over half an hour later.

She simply wore a printed dress, without any makeup on her face, and she just came here with a plain face.After she came, she sat opposite Tao Xurui, but she didn't know what to say to Tao Xiangrui.

"I ordered your favorite Guatemalan coffee for you. The temperature is just right. You can try it." Tao Xurui brought a cup of coffee to Lin Qiaoqiao graciously.

Lin Qiaoqiao shook her head and said to Tao Xurui: "No, I don't drink coffee anymore. I just drink plain water. What I liked before doesn't mean I like it now. Just like this coffee, I have been drinking coffee ever since I was pregnant. I haven’t drank it again, after all, this thing tastes good, but it’s not good for your body, so you should quit. Are you right, Mr. Tao.”

Tao Xurui naturally understood the meaning of Lin Qiaoqiao's words.But he could only pretend that he didn't understand, and said, "Qiaoqiao, I know I was an asshole back then, but you have always been my favorite. I have never done anything to be sorry for you. I was too conceited before. It was too impulsive. That's why the misunderstanding between us got deeper and deeper."

Lin Qiaoqiao felt sour when she heard this. If she had heard Tao Xurui's apology three years ago, she would have given Tao Xurui another chance no matter how much resentment she felt.Because she couldn't bear this person, let alone the relationship of so many years.But it was too late now, and she no longer needed such an apology.

"I did not do well in the past, so let's not mention it again. I am living a good life now. I have a husband who takes care of the family and a lovely son. I don't want those unpleasant pasts. Let’s talk about it again. It’s irrelevant to me to talk about it now.” Lin Qiaoqiao said lightly.

Tao Xurui felt a sore heart when he heard Lin Qiaoqiao's words. He had become a thing of the past, and Lin Qiaoqiao wanted to bury their past and never think about it again.Such a fact made it difficult for Tao Xurui to accept, but he had no right to say anything, the culprit who started all this was him, what could he say?

Seeing that Tao Xurui remained silent, Lin Qiaoqiao was agitated. She took a sip of water and made up her mind.Slowly said: "Ming people don't speak dark words, I came to you today to ask you for one thing."

Tao Xurui was taken aback, he knew how stubborn Lin Qiaoqiao was, what could make Lin Qiaoqiao beg him?Tao Xurui had some bad premonitions in his heart, but he still said: "Qiaoqiao, tell me, as long as I can do it, I will do it for you."

"I want you to never appear in front of me and my current family, you know. My relationship with you is complicated. After all, we used to be husband and wife. Yinuo is very good, but I can't let him be said Mouth. I don't want Benben to be known that his mother had a failed marriage, and I don't want your appearance to embarrass them." Lin Qiaoqiao directly stated her request.

She really didn't have the mind to deal with Tao Xurui again, and now she just wanted Tao Xurui to disappear from her eyes quickly, and stop bothering them.In particular, she was faintly worried about Benben's life experience, the fake ones could not be true, and the real ones could not be faked. Even though she changed Benben's birthday in the face of Fang Yinuo's silence, there are some things that, after a long time of contact, will naturally fade away. There will be traces.

As a mother herself, she dare not say that Fang Yinuo is as competent as a father. In her heart, Fang Yinuo is the most qualified person to be Benben's father.She didn't hope that one day, Benben, who was doted on by Fang Yinuo, would be snatched away.

Tao Xurui didn't dare to raise his eyes to look at Lin Qiaoqiao, he was afraid that his gaffe would scare Lin Qiaoqiao.Lin Qiaoqiao regards their past as a dishonorable and shameful thing.This kind of recognition made his heart bleed, he never thought that their past was so unbearable in Lin Qiaoqiao's eyes.

Such a denial was more difficult for him to accept than directly insulting and questioning Tao Xurui.It turned out that in the past when I was a treasure, it would be so painful and uncomfortable to be treated like this by my lover.Tao Xurui didn't know how to face Lin Qiaoqiao now, facing this lover who regarded him and their past as a stain.

And he still can't complain, can't be resentful, because things will become what they are now, and it started from him.

"Do you really hate me that much? I know I was wrong. Back then, I was too young, too proud, and too taken for granted. I couldn't bear your doubts, and I couldn't control my vanity. That's why I gave It is the opportunity that others can take advantage of, which has caused today's situation. But our relationship for so many years, I can't bear to forget, let alone forget. I have the person I love the most in my heart, how can I make things worse for others. I know you hate me Blame me, but I hope you can give me a chance to make up, give us a chance." Tao Xurui said to Lin Qiaoqiao with red eyes.

Lin Qiaoqiao looked at Tao Xurui coldly, and sneered, "I can't compare to Mr. Tao's favorite, and I don't want to be your favorite. All I know is that the worst thing I did in my life was to act recklessly. I married you when my father was seriously ill. Then, when my father was seriously ill, Mr. Tao staged a heroic rescue for his old family, and told him what a failed wife I was. I am worried about my worthless daughter. Ten years of relationship, four years of marriage, I never thought that I would not be worth a few months of acquaintance with others. You see, your favorite is so cheap. I feel so cheap."

Tao Xurui turned pale, seeing Lin Qiaoqiao like this, no matter how much she could say.He succeeded too early, his experience and methods were too immature.People have not been really polished, they can be swayed by a few words from others, and they are suddenly praised for being rich and honored for a while.Machismo is extremely inflated and cannot stand a little doubt and questioning from others.But they just called friends and had a lot of entertainment, so it was natural to quarrel with Lin Qiaoqiao.

Both of them are arrogant and arrogant masters, and I am afraid that there will be grievances and estrangement in such a quarrel.However, he also met Ling Xi, who had ulterior motives, who seemed to be fooled around by a few low-level tricks as if he had no brains.Misunderstood, extreme, self-righteous, until Lin Qiaoqiao was hurt.

Then, Lin's father's serious illness made Lin Qiaoqiao completely give up on him.

"I didn't know that my father-in-law was seriously ill. If I had known, I would never have acted impulsively. Back then, I was stupid and couldn't see through other people's tricks, so I jumped in. But I never thought about divorcing you, I I have always only recognized you as my only wife. It was just that I was too self-righteous and self-righteous at the time to sign the divorce agreement. Qiaoqiao, even if you hate me again, you still have all the crimes, even the affairs of your father-in-law. Blame it on me, is it unfair to me? If, if I knew that my father-in-law was sick, I would definitely be by your side, take care of you, and be with my father-in-law. Then, our future will never be like this." Tao Xurui like She said to Lin Qiaoqiao as if she had found a life-saving straw.

Hearing of Lin Zongping's death, Tao Xurui's heart has never really been at peace.He feels guilty, he feels uncomfortable, but he is even more unwilling.If, if Lin Qiaoqiao hadn't quietly taken Lin Zongping away without saying goodbye, so that he could not find anyone, then they would not have come to this point.

"How do I tell you, what do I tell you? Did my father get so angry at your gossip that he was hospitalized, and then asked me to beg you to come and see my father? Just after you questioned me for another woman, why should I ask someone for another woman?" Others came forward to make things difficult for his wife's husband and asked for help. Do you want my father to see his daughter's failure? By the way, do you enjoy being unconditionally crushed by a woman with good birth, appearance, and education? Do you feel particularly proud? So, you are so ambiguous with her that the whole world knows about it, but you still say that I am making trouble for no reason. Don't you think you are ridiculous? Since you like her, wouldn't it be okay for me to fulfill you? It saves you to be like your father. Marriage is here to repay your favor. I don't care for such a marriage." Lin Qiaoqiao's face was expressionless, but the words in her mouth were like needles, piercing Tao Xurui's heart one by one.

Tao Xurui looked at Lin Qiaoqiao in a daze. He knew that Lin Qiaoqiao was a hedgehog. Once she touched her bottom line, she would erect her thorns, and the thorns would be covered in blood.He thought that he had been stabbed before and had immunity.But only now did she realize that Lin Qiaoqiao really showed mercy to him back then.Therefore, when I really taste the feeling of being stabbed now, it hurts so much that I can't breathe.

Tao Xurui raised his pale face: "Qiaoqiao, as expected, you are the person who knows me best and knows how to stab me in the heart. But let me tell you clearly, I, Tao Xurui, are not so despicable. Hug right. At the beginning, Ling Xi and I collaborated on a project. I admit that I admired girls like her. Shrewd, capable, beautiful, and smart, there are few people who would not like such a girl. But I always At the beginning, I never thought about how to be with her. It’s just that when you doubted me and her, I was disappointed by your distrust of me, and gradually approached her out of revenge. And in Intentionally or unintentionally induced by her, I admit that I was confused sometimes. But I never did anything to be sorry for you, and your hostility towards Ling Xi, under her intentional misleading, made me make a wrong judgment. I admit , I was self-righteous, I hesitated, I was confused, that's why I didn't find you back at the first time. It's just like this, I'm even more unwilling, obviously, we should be the happiest couple. Just because of other people's calculations, just Because of my momentary confusion, I became what I am now. If this is God’s punishment, I don’t know how to cherish it, I admit it, but I want to make up for it and get back all the time we lost.”
