Chapter 8, the left hand is cold to the bone, while the right hand is warm
Your words are truly absurd. On what basis do you say such things? Have you forgotten that you are a woman with a husband and children? You have forgotten the responsibilities that should be borne, forgotten the sense of shame that a woman should possess, allowing an innocent man to leave his home for you, causing him to lose faith in love. What right do you have to claim him as yours?
For lunch, the two went to the most economical KFC. Zhan Qing, seeking to avenge a previous grievance, deliberately ordered two children's meals and intentionally chose the children's seating. However, You Ze was not upset at all, continuously looking at her with a radiant smile. That smile was more brilliant than the sun, more dazzling than the stars, and more warm and comforting than the spring breeze of April. Thus, in the end, she also smiled
Be serious! She reached out and gave him a tap on the head, Where did you run off to last night? Do you have any idea how worried I was all night?
Zhan Qing clutched her phone, falling into a restless sleep. After an unknown period, she vaguely sensed someone sitting on the edge of the bed, speaking to her. Am I dreaming? She curled deeper into the blanket, murmuring softly as she continued to sleep
Leave him!" He stared at her, uttering the words, "If you really don't like him, why not leave? Now I have the ability, if you need, I can help you!
Although after that day she was busy with university matters and tried to avoid meeting Guan Lihui, fate still arranged for their paths to cross
In the spacious room adorned with natural wood-colored flooring, he and she occupied either side of the desk
Enough!" He angrily pushed her away, "This is your son's villa, do you not even know how to write self-respect?"
She cried bitterly in the bathroom of her own room, tears streaming down continuously, her heart aching. The world around her was shrouded in darkness, and she could see nothing clearly, only the coldness remained
The morning air is particularly fresh, and spring is a beautiful and luxurious season, with blue skies and white clouds, blooming flowers, and a landscape filled with vibrant greenery. Even the air is infused with boundless vitality and vigor
It is undeniable that even in her most disheveled moments, she remains breathtakingly beautiful. Several passing men approached to offer their concern, only to be met with her cold, piercing gaze. Perhaps for her, these ordinary mortals do not even qualify to assist her.
Dressed in a dazzling array of designer brands, she was struck by a motorcycle that came rushing from the side as she stepped out of the shopping mall, scattering her shopping bags all over the ground. The motorcyclist was completely oblivious and sped away quickly. She supported her ankle and fell onto the flowerbed by the roadside
But not now
He gazed at her silhouette, his brows deeply furrowed
Wow... the assailant covered their nose and shouted about how she would be responsible for ruining their appearance and similar things
After a moment of silence, the person holding him suddenly spoke: "Today, I cursed your mother—"
That is a matter between him and me, and you do not need to inquire about it. You only need to take care of yourself and do not harbor any illusions of gaining anything from him. Guan Lihui slowly narrowed her eyes, as she did not expect that this mere tutor would dare to retort.
The expression on Guan Lihui's face gradually turned pale, leaving her momentarily at a loss for words
Why does she feel like she is asking for trouble? Zhan Qing, feeling helpless, can only compromise
"Do you think everyone is as dull as you? Must they hear it with their own ears to understand!" She leisurely arranged her curly hair with her delicate fingers, her smile still radiating that precious and delicate charm, "That day, I was reading a book by the window in the study when you all returned."
Both individuals were dressed in a relaxed and casual manner. They first went to a snack street for breakfast, enjoying silky tofu pudding, fragrant century egg congee, and various types of pancakes, sitting down almost immediately for whatever they wished to eat
Once in a hundred years, a tone of coquetry is directed at another man. What kind of tolerance is required to endure such a thing? I must indeed be a person of style and grace! Youze sighed, "What else can be done? Of course, we should go on a date with someone else and forget about this matter!" He extended his arm and firmly wrapped it around her shoulder, "Let's go! We should first have a big meal! I heard that a new barbecue restaurant has opened on Dongmen Street, and it's absolutely fantastic!"
Out of nowhere, go away! Guan Lihui, extremely enraged, unexpectedly lost her composure and threw a pillow at her.
She turned around and made an effort to take a step forward. At this moment, she had no way to enter, nor could she see those two people
Zhan Qing pushed the pillow aside, picked it up to dust it off, and placed it back at the foot of her bed. "I will leave," she said, her voice calming down again. "In fact, you need not be so angry. After all, the person he loves now is you. For him, the love you can give is the essence of everything. I apologize for today." She pulled the door and walked out of the ward, and the world before her suddenly became a bit blurry. She took a deep breath, forcing the tears back, and stepped forward once more. "In fact, you need not be so angry. After all, the person he loves now is you. For him, the love you can give is the essence of everything. I apologize for today." She pulled the door and walked out of the ward, and the world before her suddenly became a bit blurry. She took a deep breath, forcing the tears back, and stepped forward once more.
It is fine to go out; I do not like to be disturbed by others while working
Worried all night yet still slept like a pig?" Youze muttered discontentedly, secretly lamenting the failure of the sneak attack. "Alright, stop whining, get up quickly, today is Sunday, let's go on a date!"
Youze
Is this the voice of that young man? It is considerate and warm, like the sudden flame that appears on a cold night, repeatedly comforting her, who is almost frozen stiff by the biting cold.
Barbecue? Zhan Qing winked at him, "You will get fat!"
The person on the bed was clearly unaware, and Youze smiled mischievously as he leaned down towards her pink, full lips. The surprise attack did not succeed; at a critical moment, Zhanqing opened her eyes and woke up.
The other party saw confusion in her eyes, and her smile became even more enchanting. "I just want to tell you, he is mine. No matter how much you like him, you are not qualified to stand by his side. He will never look at you. Give up early!"
After breakfast, Zhan Qing suggested going to karaoke to sing. She intentionally wanted to hear Youze's voice. He noticed her intention, so throughout the entire singing process, not a single song was sung in tune, driving her almost to the brink of madness
"What did he do to you?" Xu Mofei grabbed her and pulled her back.
The slender, emerald-green willow branches sway gently in the evening breeze of April, while outside the park, the city comes alive with the glow of streetlights. As I gaze out, a scene of bustling prosperity unfolds before me
I tell you, bringing you to the hospital today is not to please you, nor to please him; it is simply a matter of conscience as a human being. Furthermore, do not arrogantly resort to those tactics, thinking you understand him. Do you know what he dislikes the most? It is women using tricks! Do not take advantage of your beautiful appearance and his genuine feelings for you to act recklessly. Love is not a game, nor is it a struggle. If you truly love him, do not cause him pain; give him your promise.
She caressed his hair, gently kissing the corners of his lips and jaw, greedily inhaling the refreshing scent of cologne. "Fool, isn't it a bit disappointing to talk about this now? We are in City S, and we will have a long time here. Rather than doing something unrealistic, why not seize the moment? What do you think?" She pressed closely against him, transmitting her intense body heat through their clothes. "Mo Fei, I really miss you..." Her soft, melodious voice lingered around his neck, accompanied by her enchanting breath, evoking all the familiar feelings.
Zhan Qing, from now on, forget that man. You do not understand, you can never win against my mother; their relationship began a long time ago..." Youze gently stroked her long hair, whispering comfortingly, "You really do not need to involve yourself in that complicated whirlpool. Forget all those crazy things I once told you to keep you going! Zhan Qing, do not wait for someone unworthy. Rest assured, I will be here with you; you will not be alone... Forget all those crazy things I once told you to keep you going! Zhan Qing, do not wait for someone unworthy. Rest assured, I will be here with you; you will not be alone..."
The afterglow filtered through the white gauze curtain, casting faint and mottled shadows on the two individuals. In the silent room, one could almost hear each other's breathing
Youze seems to be in a good mood, occasionally making harsh jokes with her, habitually teasing her a bit, and watching her anger rise while he himself is beside her, unable to contain his laughter
"Standard?" He glanced at her chest, "It's a pity that the upper body seems to fall short of the standard—wow, don't choke me again, you're so fierce... hey, don't hit my head—ouch... I've already told you not to!"
"Did you not push me away? Why are you asking these questions?" She looked up, her deep, jet-black eyes glistening with tears, exuding a suffocating fragility. He caressed her cheek and suddenly kissed her. She wrapped her arms around him, relishing the warmth she had not felt in a long time. However, just as she was lost in the moment, he suddenly released her.
I fear you may not be fully aware, but prior to becoming your son's nanny, I served as his assistant in Paris! Since my university days, I have been his favored protégé, the person he trusts the most! In his residence in Paris, I am the only one who knows the access code, and I am the only one allowed inside. Every day, we work together, twenty-four hours a day, and we spend nearly twelve hours together! Furthermore, if your delusions involve being in bed with him, I can clearly tell you—yes, we have been in bed together! In his residence in Paris, I am the only one who knows the access code, and I am the only one allowed inside. Every day, we work together, twenty-four hours a day, and we spend nearly twelve hours together! Furthermore, if your delusions involve being in bed with him, I can clearly tell you—yes, we have been in bed together! So, what else do you wish to say to me now?" She felt an uncontrollable rage within her; if the inner beauty of the woman before her matched her outward appearance, then even losing Xu Mofei would be acceptable to her!
I only did what you wanted to do!" She rolled up her sleeves, revealing a bruise on her fair and delicate arm. "Xu Mofei, have you really forgotten me? Can you? Will you? Do you think that just because you left China and interacted with various women, it means you have forgotten me? That is merely self-deception; you cannot fool me. I know you too well. Just like I said yesterday, you are destined not to like that person named Zhan Qing, and you are also destined not to forget your love for me! Otherwise, you wouldn't have made your agreement to help me train Aze conditional on my return to the country!" She was still smiling, but it was a sorrowful smile. "Do you think that over the years, hearing about you and those women didn't make me sad? Do you think I wanted things to turn out this way? You have no idea how I have spent these years in Japan!" She suddenly stopped speaking, turned, and intended to leave.
Zhan Qing clenched her trembling fingers, feeling as if the last trace of strength within her body had been drained away
At the turning point of the corridor, where she gradually walked away, a tall and elegant figure slowly emerged
At this moment, the answer is undoubtedly clear. The woman who occasionally reveals a lonely expression, Xu Mofei, is Guan Lihui
She sat on a bench in the green park, lost in thought. A young man hurried over and, upon seeing her despondent face, felt a mix of reluctance and helplessness in his heart. After a moment of hesitation, he decided to approach her.
What happened, Mo Fei
For many years, scars have repeatedly intersected and crisscrossed, weaving into a garment called habit. When the garment is taken off, it can be uncomfortable, but when it is put back on, everything quietly returns to normal.
Guan Lihui was dressed in a loose, pure white fleece garment, which complemented her long, jet-black hair, concealing her maturity and accentuating her delicate and endearing appearance. However, the man sitting across the desk never lifted his gaze to look at her, remaining engrossed in his work on the computer.
Does her existence hold no value at all for him
She did not let go, but instead held on even tighter, "What is it? That day I was crying in the bathroom, weren't you also holding me to comfort me? You stingy person!"
For her, there is no term that conveys the notion of calmness
"Don't you like it?" She chuckled softly, "Is it that you dislike being disturbed by others, or is it that you dislike me disturbing you? It's already past 4 o'clock, and Ah Ze probably won't show up today! Hehe, after all, he is my son, and I know him well. He will always find ways to resist things he doesn't want to do. Can't you even get through to Zhan Qing's phone?" She approached him, lightly leaning against the edge of the table, reaching out to caress his shoulder, "They must be having a great time outside right now, so no one will disturb us, Mo Fei—" Suddenly, she lowered her head and kissed his sensual lips. Can't you even get through to Zhan Qing's phone?" She approached him, lightly leaning against the edge of the table, reaching out to caress his shoulder, "They must be having a great time outside right now, so no one will disturb us, Mo Fei—" Suddenly, she lowered her head and kissed his sensual lips.
"That is because my bones are small, you just can't feel the bones! Moreover, my waist is only 1.8 feet, which is quite standard!" she immediately retorted
Outside the study door, Youze disdainfully curled his lips, the darkness in his eyes spreading. "So it's him, I thought my mother's lover would be a decent man!"
I know I have gone too far today, but you brought this upon yourself! Since I have already said it, I might as well say the rest! She must express all those things that cannot be said to him, "If you love him, prove it with your actions! If you cannot do it, then I will! If it were me, I would never let him suffer like this! I would hold him tight, give him all my love, not let him be alone in the lonely depths of the night, not let him look at that margarita without ever taking a sip, not let him pretend to be flirtatious when he is actually just trying to alleviate the pain in his heart! If you cannot do it, then I will! If it were me, I would never let him suffer like this! I would hold him tight, give him all my love, not let him be alone in the lonely depths of the night, not let him look at that margarita without ever taking a sip, not let him pretend to be flirtatious when he is actually just trying to alleviate the pain in his heart! No matter what difficulties lie ahead, I will use these hands to protect my love! Even if he does not love me now, and may never love me in the future, I will stay by his side because I love him! This is my way of loving him, a way that is completely different from yours!" After saying the last sentence, she felt as if she was about to collapse. Such intense tone was merely a reflection of the fierce emotions within her.
He frowned, yet still slowly embraced her, who was so pitiful and delicate in his arms
She glanced at her, and Zhan Qing did not quite understand the meaning behind that gaze, only feeling a sense of dislike. However, since she did not refuse, she ultimately stopped a taxi to accompany her to the hospital
When she learned that Xu Mofei would stay in City S, she was so happy, thinking that her hopes had resurfaced
What?
The person he likes is actually a married man?! The jealousy and pain in her heart burn her, almost tearing her apart
Zhan Qing did not think for long before taking out her phone and dialing a familiar number. The call could not be connected for the time being, and feeling helpless, she left a message to inform Xu Mo Fei that she would take her to the nearest municipal hospital
The nights in this city are never truly lonely
She crossed the road, picking up the scattered shopping bags one by one, and then stepped forward to support her
Delusion?" Zhan Qing sneered coldly, slowly approaching her, "What if I said that I have already experienced this so-called delusion of yours?"
"How can you just casually—" Zhan Qing was about to say something, but he had already retorted, "It was you who said you would stand by my side!"
Youze did not return home all night
For Zhan Qing, the unexpected events in life are always unpredictable
"Indeed! You are so lucky to be going on a date with such a stylish handsome guy, how can you not be smiling! Hurry up and brush your teeth, wash your face, and change your clothes. Remember not to wear any makeup, and don't put on those flashy clothes from magazines. I think you look best in simple attire!" he said, dragging her into the bathroom.
Wow, that's impressive, you haven't left yet!" Youze shook his head and muttered. Catching a glimpse of Zhanqing's doubtful gaze, he quickly stated that he would go upstairs immediately
The noisy sounds gradually dispersed in the air along with the joyful figures of the two individuals
Guan Lihui smiled gently, rising to stand before the glass adorned with golden yellow curtains. "Do you remember that year?" Her voice was elegant and light, yet it carried a hint of faint loneliness. "That summer, I first saw you, wearing a black chiffon long dress. But you told me that black was too dull and gloomy, suggesting I wear white instead, as white is elegant and pure, more suited to me." She turned, her gaze focused on him. "I specially wore white for you today. Why do you not even glance at me? Is it... that you truly hate me so much?"
"I will take you to the hospital." Her tone was calm, surprisingly calm even to herself
Bathed in the faint morning light filtering through the window, she beheld the handsome face before her magnified.
However, at around 1:00 PM, Shao will come to your house to give you a lesson!" Zhan Qing's voice came from the bathroom
Youze suddenly sat up, unfortunately bumping her forehead against the tip of his nose
Youze twitched his lips and said, "Auntie? No way, it seems you are really unwell today! Also, am I a hostess? A phone call just to keep you company?" He patted her and added, "Hurry up and let go, hugging and cuddling is disgusting!"
Bruises and sprains, as she was completing the admission procedures for Guan Lihui and had finished buying drinks and was about to leave, the other party suddenly spoke up
I am feeling quite depressed right now and do not want to go back. What do you think I should do
As soon as they entered, Cen Bo immediately approached them and informed that the lady and Mr. Xu were waiting for the young master in the study on the second floor
The fingers dancing on the keyboard suddenly came to a halt, and something flickered in the light gray pupils, only to quickly fade away.
When I saw her, she was leaving the school, preparing to return to the villa
But now, she has just realized that she is nothing but a fool! The reason he appeared was solely for that woman who married far away in Japan. He was willing to leave everything in Paris, with the condition of her returning to the country, and went back to City S. Everything he did was just for Kanri Kei!
How cold and ruthless reality is, to fall in love with someone who does not love you back, why is it so painful? Why, at such a moment of suffering, can her heart still not let him go?
Xu Mofei, what should I do? Even so, she still cannot stop loving him! Listening to their conversation, she could almost feel the pain and helplessness in his heart. How could Guan Lihui bear to let him be so sad? Yet, she, on the other hand, could do nothing at all
Youze... she heard footsteps and quickly opened her arms to embrace the newcomer at the waist, "Auntie did something bad today and is in a bad mood, please keep me company to lighten my spirits!"
Afterward, the two went shopping, watched a movie, and had ice cream, until nearly four o'clock, when Youze reluctantly returned home at Zhanqing's urging
"Don't cry..." A gentle hand caressed her, pulling her into a safe and warm embrace. "Silly, it's just a breakup, why cry so ugly? I didn't cry when my mother had an affair. You only lost a man who doesn't love you, so why are you crying... You're so foolish, you've always been so foolish. Since the first time I saw you, you've been crying over someone unworthy, silly..." The soft words echoed in her ear. "You're so foolish, you've always been so foolish. Since the first time I saw you, you've been crying over someone unworthy, silly..." The soft words echoed in her ear.
After much deliberation, she could not put her mind at ease. She had no choice but to soften her tone and leave a message for him: she was no longer angry about the matter of the clothes. No matter what happens, no matter how bad it may be, she must not forget that she will always stand by his side
"You were never thin..." he muttered, exploring her waist, "Look, it feels soft and squishy, it's all flesh!"
"You did it on purpose!" She immediately understood. She was never unfamiliar with such tactics. To ensure that she heard, they even disregarded the possibility that her son might hear as well! But why? Guan Lihui should be well aware that Xu Mofei does not like her at all!
The biting sarcasm, the words that Zhan Qing could not have anticipated. She turned around and looked at the person on the hospital bed, "How did you know that I already knew about this?"
Zhan Qing repeatedly called his phone, but it remained turned off. At first, she left angry messages warning him to come back quickly, but as time passed, her anger subsided and concern took over. Her intuition told her that his unusual behavior was likely related to the appearance of Guan Li Hui.
"A date?" She chuckled, "With you?"
Ah? Wow, this woman is truly...
That... upon hearing her refer to that man, he felt displeased! Youze raised an eyebrow, picked up her phone, and pressed the power button, "I already discussed it with Mom earlier, let's schedule today's class for 4 PM. We can return to class after the date!"
"Wake up..." The young man leaned down, displeased, and pinched her cheek. Her delicate and soft cheek, in an utterly defenseless sleeping posture, if she continued to sleep like this, he would have to be "rude" to her!
Isn't it pitiful for you? In order to win his favor, you even have to please your rival!
Sister, you are really acting unusual today! Don't do this, it scares me..." Before she finished speaking, she stood up and wrapped her arms around his neck, startling Youze into quickly conceding, "Alright, you can hug me! Hug for as long as you want, even for a lifetime..."
In fact, she longed to say these words once again in front of Xu Mofei. However, it was not possible! She had already put pressure on him, and she also knew the person he truly loved in his heart, so she absolutely could not tell him
