obsessed with love

Chapter 169
Jiang Hao went back and quarreled with Xu Xiaoya again, from the quarrel with Du Ruo in the mountains in the morning to the confinement after the child was born, and finally he dropped his plate, untied his apron, slammed the door and walked out !
This is already the Nth time in Jiang Hao's memory that he "run away from home" because of a quarrel with Xu Xiaoya.

At the beginning of the quarrel, Xu Xiaoya would pat her ass and go back to her natal home, firstly because her belly was not so big at that time, so she could move more easily, and secondly because the trick of "going back to her natal home" was still a little deterrent to Jiang Hao, but the old trick After repeating it too many times, Jiang Hao no longer went to her natal home to beg her to come back, and Xu Fenglin would also persuade her not to be angry all the time, so slowly, Xu Xiaoya stopped going to her natal home.

But unexpectedly, now Jiang Hao has learned to run outside, and if he says something wrong, he will leave the stall and get out.

He really saw that she had a headache and she didn't want to leave, so he had to leave!

Gu Lan finally chose a bracelet for Ren Peiyin as a birthday gift.

Qiao Anming only rushed back from Tongcheng on the morning of his birthday, and only after all the guests arrived did he belatedly enter the box.

Qiao Anming doesn't like extravagance, so Ren Peiyin's birthday banquet is also very simple. Only the elders are seated, and all the invited relatives dare to find a seat.

Ren Peiyin sat in the upper seat, next to Qiao Anming and Gu Lan, Jiang Lei also attended, bringing the old lady's favorite potted plants.

Gu Lan presented the birthday gift, a very delicate silk-faced box, which opened into a bracelet.

"Mom, I don't know what you want. I went to the auction a few days ago and saw this bracelet. I thought it was in good condition, so I took a picture of it and gave it to you as a birthday present..."

It was a good thing, the top-quality blue-field black jade, with a moist texture, but Ren Peiyin only glanced at it with the tip of her eyes, took it, closed the lid, and handed it to Chen Ma next to her for storage.

She doesn't lack such extraneous possessions.What is she missing?what does she wantThe whole world probably knows, but Gu Lan doesn't know?
Just a few relatives' children ran past, there was a burst of loud laughter, and the child's grandma chased after her and scolded: "You bastard, sit down for me and don't make trouble, don't look at the occasion and act wild..."

The corners of Ren Peiyin's mouth finally twitched, her eyes turned away from the group of children, she glanced at Gu Lan, and finally settled on Qiao Anming: "I have passed today's birthday party, and I am 66 years old. When I get to the soil, I may not be able to get sick one day. You are also considered filial, and you are willing to buy me what you should buy or not, but you should know what I want most in my heart. Anyway, I am still that In a word, I hope you will think about the children's affairs carefully, it's not for me, it's for yourselves."

After finishing speaking, the old lady's piercing eyes drifted back to Lan. Gu Lan clasped her hands and turned her head away.

At that time, all the people who were very close to the Qiao family sat at the main table, so Ren Peiyin had no scruples about this conversation. Seeing Gu Lan's heartless look, the old lady could only shake her head and sigh.

Qiao Anming's heart quickly darkened. He really didn't want to take care of the "child" again, but since today was the old lady's birthday and there were so many guests, he couldn't get angry.

The old lady finally announced the opening of the table. Qiao Anming sat down first, and then pulled Gu Lan who was standing beside him in a daze: "Sit down, I'll ask the waiter to serve."

Gu Lan didn't seem to hear, and still looked at the children who were making a fuss not far away.

Ren Peiyin smiled sinisterly at the corner of her mouth, took the satin box from Chen Ma, put the bracelet on her hand, and said calmly: "Gu Lan, sit down, the bracelet fits well, don't worry about it."

This is life. The Qiao family looks gorgeous on the outside, but on the inside, it is very cold and desolate.

Throughout the meal, Qiao Anming felt as if he was holding his breath in his heart, and his face was very dark. Everyone was unhappy, and the guests in the audience couldn't make a fuss, so the birthday banquet ended early, and Qiao Anming received a call from his subordinates before leaving the banquet , because the show was over, there was a lot of noise in the box, so he walked out of the box calmly...

Business phone calls, he stood at the stairs in the corridor and finished explaining. When he was about to put away the phone, he thought of Du Ruo. He was very busy a few days ago, and he hadn't seen her for many days. I don't know if her hands are better. Taking advantage of no one around, Qiao Anming dialed Du Ruo's number.

Du Ruo was taking a bath at the time, and the mobile phone was placed on the lid of the toilet. Because her hands could not touch the water, she took a bath, her right hand was injured, and her left hand was doing things, so her movements were naturally uncoordinated.

Just when Qiao Anming's call came in, she leaned over and hooked the phone with her injured right hand to answer it.

"Hey...where are you?"

"It's taking a shower, it's really not the right time for you to call."

"Then I'll hang up, let's not talk about it..." Qiao Anming finally had a smile on his lips, and when his mood improved, he wanted to make a fuss with her. Du Ruo quickly pouted and said, "Don't, you dare to hang up and try!"

"Haha..." Uncle Qiao's light smile turned into a big laugh, perhaps only Du Ruo could make him laugh so heartily.

"Where are you? The birthday party is over?"

"Well, I'm about to go back, so I took the time to call you, you can't touch the water on your wound, why do you still take a bath by yourself?"

"Then I don't wash it myself, why don't you wash it for me?" Du Ruo blurted out, and felt that the words were too ambiguous after speaking, and immediately fell silent in embarrassment. Qiao Anming smiled even more when he heard the shortness of breath on the other end. : "As long as you don't object, I don't mind helping you take a bath!"

"Go, you are so busy, if you wait until you have time to bathe me, you may have lice all over your body!"

"Haha...how come, okay, since you are taking a bath, don't talk about it, be careful of catching a cold, I can go back to Tongcheng tomorrow, and take time to see you..."

"Okay..." Du Ruo muffled back, but he didn't intend to hang up the phone. Qiao Anming didn't understand, and asked again: "Du Ruo, what's the matter? Is there anything else?"

"No, I just... miss you a little..."

Qiao Anming was taken aback, the corners of his mouth widened, and he replied in a tender voice that was almost bone-chilling: "I miss you too..."

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Anming's smile remained on his face, and after deleting Du Ruo's call log, he put away his smile and walked downstairs.

And behind the pillars in the corridor, Ren Peiyin's footsteps were fixed there, and her heart was uncertain.

The warm tone of speech and hearty laughter just now really came from her son?The son who is always cold, actually has such a warm side?And that Du Ruo, she seemed to have heard of it somewhere, and she remembered that she met a girl in Qiao Anming's office last time at Shengan's training meeting, and that girl also seemed to be named Du Ruo.

Immediately, that beautiful face flashed in my mind, and then I felt a sigh of relief.

Ren Peiyin has always felt that her son is a stubborn rock, regardless of wind, rain or thunder, he is still extremely hard, but it turns out that there is still such a woman who can make him smile comfortably and coax him gently.

Du Ruo, Du Ruo... the old lady said these two words silently in her heart, and she smiled even more.

Qiao Anming worked late in the study and returned to the bedroom in her pajamas, only to find that Gu Lan was still flipping through magazines on the bed.

"Why haven't you slept yet?"

"Wait for you..." Gu Lan looked up, closed the magazine and put it on the bedside.

Qiao Anming smiled slightly: "What are you waiting for? I often work overtime until late, and this is not the first time."

"But I haven't seen you for half a month..." Mrs. Qiao was rarely tired. Qiao Anming's heart began to jump violently when he heard it, but he still had a warm smile on his face. He took off his nightgown and lay down under the quilt with his clothes on .

Soon there was an arm around him, and he began to unbutton his pajamas, and poked in along the edge of the clothes... It was obviously a very gentle touch, but Qiao Anming felt terrified, but he still endured it until Gu Lan started to move his lips closer Kissing his neck, he gently pushed her away.

"I'm too tired today. I have to get up at 5 o'clock tomorrow to go to Tongcheng."

"But we haven't done it for two months." Gu Lan still wrapped her hands around Qiao Anming's neck, denouncing her aggrievedly, Qiao Anming smiled wryly, untied her arms, and quickly got into the quilt with her back facing her.

"Go to sleep, it's too late, next time."

……

It turns out that when you love someone, your body and emotion cannot be separated. His desire for Du Ruo was originally thought to be an additive in his relationship, but when Gu Lan touched him, he realized that he had long been addicted to Du Ruo, from the bottom of his heart. When it comes to the body, there is no way to clean up, otherwise, when facing Gu Lan, all he can see is another face.

Ren Peiyin is definitely an activist.

That night, she called Peng Yuchu. She was thoughtful and knew that if she asked directly, she would be suspicious, so she asked around the corner.

"Yu Chu, there was an accident at Wu Mu Mountain recently, you must be very busy."

"Fortunately, I'm not in charge of Wu Mushan, so I don't need to be responsible, but Mr. Qiao is really busy, and now he spends a lot of time in Tongcheng."

"That's right, I think so too, otherwise I won't be unable to see other people all day long. You see, I have to call you." The old lady smiled and continued along the topic: "By the way, Wu Mushan Is there a dedicated person in charge over there?"

"Yes, another management team is newly recruited by Mr. Qiao in Tongcheng."

"Oh, I've never been to Tongcheng. If I have a chance, I'll take a look. Chinese medicine is a good thing. If I have a chance, I'll ask An Ming to take me there. Oh, by the way, today is my 66th birthday. Why didn't you come? You see, you have been with An Ming for so many years, and I treat you as half my son, come and see me, an old woman, if you have time, don't always say you are busy..."

"Yes, definitely, I will definitely go when I have time..." Lafayette said, and Peng Yuchu responded tremblingly.

How strange, why did the old lady call him suddenly?Is it really because he didn't attend her birthday?
Ren Peiyin hung up the phone, feeling a little embarrassed.I thought I could get something out of Peng Yuchu's mind, but from this point of view, he didn't know.Does she still have to go to Tongcheng by herself?Let's wait and see, from the phone call between Qiao Anming and Du Ruo at night, it can be heard that the relationship between the two seems to have developed very deeply, Ren Peiyin is a little proud, as long as her son is willing to let go, then it will not be difficult for her to want a grandson.

Qiao Anming got up early and went to Tongcheng. Instead of going to the company, he asked Xiao Zhangkai to go directly to Du Ruo.

It turns out that confidante can really cause trouble. Qiao Anming sat in the back seat and kept laughing when he approached Tongcheng. Du Ruo's expressions kept popping up in his mind. From the first meeting to the last lingering on the bed, angry, angry, wronged and cute to crying... He propped his arm on the car window, half of his palm covering his chuckling lips.

Xiao Zhang looked over from the rearview mirror, it was rare to see such an expression from the boss, and he also liked it.

"Mr. Qiao, the sun seems to be very good today."

"What do you want to say?"

"I didn't want to say anything, I just saw that you have been smiling today, and you seem to be in a good mood."

Qiao Anming didn't hide anymore, and simply put down his holding hands, revealing his smiling face. The car just exited the high-speed exit. Qiao Anming smiled and said, "I'm in a good mood, don't go directly to For Du Ruo’s place, first go to Qingxianglou to buy her a breakfast, I heard from her that she likes tofu nao there..."

Du Ruo limped to open the door, and Qiao Anming stood outside the door in a dusty manner, holding a bag with the words "Qingxianglou" in his hand.

"Why are you here so early?"

"Come to have breakfast with you."

Qiao Anming quickly entered the room and put breakfast on the table, three buns, bean curd and white porridge.

Du Ruo saw that it was the LOGO of Qingxianglou, and yelled "I love you so much", she sat down on the sofa and started to eat, but her right hand was injured, so she could only hold the spoon with her left hand and the buns with her injured hand. It was quite difficult to eat, and even some soup accidentally dripped onto her lavender nightgown.

Qiao Anming shook his head, sat beside her, took the spoon she was holding, and slowly started feeding it spoon by spoon... Du Ruo's eyes widened and he ate very slowly.

Oh my god, he actually fed it himself. She really couldn't bear this kind of favor at first.With a mouthful of hot tofu nao in her mouth, she frowned slightly from the heat. Qiao Anming smiled lightly from the corners of her eyes, and took out a tissue to help her tuck the soup from the corner of her mouth.

"No one is robbing you, eat slowly."

Du Ruo quickly drank the tofu nao, and said in a hurry: "Forget it, don't feed it, I'll eat it myself." Then he went to grab the spoon in his hand, and the soup dripped on him accidentally. His white shirt collar.

Du Ruo hurriedly pulled out a tissue to help him wipe, her breath approached, she didn't have the habit of wearing underwear when she slept, so even though the nightgown was tightly tied on her chest, the angle at which she was wiping for him still had a lot of spring in his eyes inside.

Qiao Anming's Adam's apple rolled over, and he held her close hand.

"Du Ruo..."

"Huh? What's the matter?" Du Meiren didn't feel that she had offended him at all, but when she looked up, she saw Qiao Anming's eyes were on fire. She approached his face and asked softly, "Okay, what are you doing?" Why call me?"

This is thunder and fire... Qiao Anming directly took Du Ruo into his arms with one hand, bowed his head and kissed him... There was still the fragrance of tofu in his mouth, Qiao Anming closed his eyes and kissed seriously, Du Ruo only knew I caused trouble by myself, but my body was already weak, so I could only lie on his chest softly...

"Du Ruo... miss you very much..." It is rare to hear such explicit love words from Qiao Anming's mouth. Du Ruo suppressed his thoughts, raised his head to kiss his face, and replied close to his ear: "I also... miss you very much." ..."

Qiao Anming stopped breathing and held her face...

Sunlight shines in through the thick curtains, and the two bodies on the narrow sofa are sharing their thoughts with each other...

The spring night is short and the day is high, and since then the king will not go to court early.

Qiao Anming didn't go back to the company that morning, and stayed on the bed with Du Ruo for a long time, with the slippery body in his arms all the time in his hands, Qiao Anming felt that everything he wanted was not enough.

"Du Ruo... Do you feel wronged if you follow me like this?"

"No, how can you be wronged? Do you know how you kissed me for the first time in the mountains that day? At that time, I felt my heart hurt and I cried, but you didn't see it."

"Fool..." Qiao Anming went to scratch her nose again, but Du Ruo took advantage of the situation to hide: "I keep scratching my nose, and it was collapsed by you..."

"You don't need to cry. No matter what happens in the future, you don't need to cry for me." Qiao Anming pressed Du Ruo's face into his arms, and said slowly: "I have never dared to approach you because I was afraid that you would be wronged. So don't cry for me, I will blame myself."

"Yeah. Don't cry..." Du Ruo nodded, feeling chills in his heart.

He won't make promises lightly, and even a promise between them is doomed to be a lie, so Du Ruo is not greedy, and he is already very happy to be able to lie on his chest like this now, listening to these heartwarming words.

But feelings are like honey when they are sweet, and poison when they are bitter. As much as Du Ruo suffers from his tender and greasy sweetness, he will have to suffer from his heart-breaking pain. It will be a matter of time.

The medicine fields in Wumu Mountain were finally sorted out, the medicine farmers returned to their positions, and the base slowly resumed operations. Qiao Anming finally had a little spare time after being busy for half a month. He promised Du Ruo to take her to eat seafood, so he couldn't break his promise.

Originally, Qiao Anming had already reserved the location, the most famous seafood restaurant in Tongcheng, and all the ingredients were airlifted to ensure freshness, but Du Ruo went into the hotel for a walk, held back his mouth, and dragged Qiao Anming to the parking lot.

"What's wrong? Don't like this place?"

"Yes, I don't like it. The things in this place are not fancy. I have land, so you can just follow me."

Qiao Anming had no choice but to let her drive the car. In the end, she took the car to a night food stall near the University City. There was a whole street lined with simple sheds and a few benches at the door of each house. On the bench are all kinds of seafood packed in long plastic boxes.

In the middle of the store is a narrow road, which is also occupied by tables and chairs of various houses.There were many people who looked like aunts holding menus to solicit customers for business. Du Ruo and Qiao Anming walked all the way, and were entangled countless times, but Dumei people walked in the long street with all their heart, as if they had a goal long ago.

"This is the one, a shop opened by authentic Guangzhou people..." Finally, Du Ruo finally spotted a light box, turned around and grabbed Qiao Anming's hand, and walked in.

The inside of the store is very narrow, and there are barely a few tables, but the customers are full.

Seeing a guest coming in, the proprietress quickly greeted her with a smile: "Do you want to eat? Sit down, inside or outside?"

Qiao Anming glanced at the door, there were a few simple wooden tables and white plastic chairs, and the wires pulled out from the house dragged the orange light bulbs hanging on the roof. He still hasn't been to this kind of place for many years, so he couldn't get used to it for a while. environment of.

"Well, let's eat inside." Qiao Anming replied reluctantly, and the proprietress ordered him to quickly pull him to sit on a chair in the corner.

"It's okay to eat inside, it's still warm, but it's too crowded." The lady boss handed the menu to Qiao Anming after she finished speaking.

Du Ruo also took his seat: "Don't look at the menu, let's get your third dish first, just add a scrambled egg with fungus, and two bottles of beer..." Du Hanzi rolled up his sleeves, looking familiar.

"Do you eat here often?"

"I used to come here often before graduation, but I haven't been here in the past six months." Du Ruo took apart the disposable bowls and chopsticks in front of him, and looked up to see Qiao Anming sitting there in a daze.

He has a slight obsession with cleanliness. Not to mention the crowded and messy place, the table alone is greasy and shiny.He had been in high-end hotels for so many years, and suddenly landed in such a place, he had to have some time to adapt.

Du Ruo saw his embarrassment, disassembled the disposable bowls and chopsticks in front of him, scalded them with boiling water and sent them back, clasped his hands and laughed and teased: "Boss Qiao, although the environment of this place is not as good as your high-end hotel, but the things are It's all clean!"

Qiao Anming knew that she was being sarcastic, and responded with a smile: "Anyway, I'm treating you to dinner, as long as you think it's delicious."

"It's delicious, it must be delicious, I guarantee you will never forget it!"

Seeing that she was happy, Qiao Anming didn't say any more.

It's just that the phrase "unforgettable for a lifetime" was really hit by Du Ruo. For a long time to come, no matter when and where Qiao Anming eats seafood, he will think of that winter night when he was lying on the dirty bed in a handmade suit. Accompanying her to eat seafood at the small table, the light was dim and the space was cramped, but he never forgot.

The food was brought out quickly, and the third dish Du Ruo mentioned was actually very ordinary, but it was crab legs, mussels and grilled shrimp, all of which were very cheap seafood ingredients.

Qiao Anming didn't understand: "The ones who have traveled all the way, come to eat this?"

"Don't underestimate these, it's amazing!" Du Ruo took a crab leg and put it in his mouth, took a bite, closed his eyes, and looked satisfied: "It's so delicious, you know? It’s been more than half a year, and it’s been stir-fried with minced coriander and minced garlic, as well as chili and peppercorns, Old Joe, you have to thank me for bringing you to eat such delicious food..."

She exaggerated admiration and swallowed another yuan shell. The satisfaction and joy on her face could no longer be described in words.

Infected by her expression, Qiao Anming also caught a crab leg and took a bite. There was a strong smell of prickly ash. He coughed several times, grabbed the clear water at hand and drank a few gulps to calm down.

"It's really worthless, it's so hot, you're just choking like this!" Du Ruo sneered at it, but didn't bother, grabbed a shrimp and began to peel it.

Qiao Anming has been eating bland flavors for 20 years. There is probably no prickly ash or hot pepper in the kitchen at home. How could he eat such choking food?

"Somewhat spicy."

"I still order slightly spicy, how can it taste if it's not spicy!" Du Meiren peeled a shrimp and stuffed it into his mouth, and lifted his greasy orchid finger to take a sip from the beer glass. Seeing her eating so happily, Qiao Anming also felt in his heart. happy.

After being busy for so long, he finally had time to have supper with her, so what he cared about was not what to eat, but what she wanted to eat, so he simply refused to eat, and just folded his arms to watch.

That scene was supposed to be a bit funny. In the cramped and dimly lit shop, the Dumei man was wrapped in a sweater and rolled up his arms, eating big pieces. Qiao Anming watched quietly while leaning on the back of the chair with her hands folded. She ate very quickly, and soon there was A pile of seafood shells were piled up, her fair face was rosy because of the heavy spicy food, and her lips were pouty. When she ate something spicy, she would take a sip of beer and fan her hand a few times before continuing to eat.

For all living beings, the words fate and fate are very strange. Just half a month ago, Qiao Anming would never have imagined that one day he would sit quietly in front of her, content to watch her sloppy eating.
