obsessed with love

Chapter 225 It's getting dark
Du Ruo came out of the obstetric hospital very late, and it was already dark, so she walked to the bus platform alone.

During off-duty hours, the platform was full of people eager to go home, and the bus was crowded. Du Ruo missed several buses because she didn't want to compete with them for a seat with a big belly.

Take a taxi!
After Du Ruo made his decision, he sat on the bench and waited leisurely, but instead of a taxi, he waited for an acquaintance.

No, they are not considered acquaintances, but should be regarded as old friends.

"Du Ruo, it's really you, I thought I was wrong!" The silver half-old Corolla drove over from the traffic, the window was rolled down, and Jiang Hao's face was poked out...

Du Ruo shouldn't take Jiang Hao's ride according to theory, but he repeatedly provoked, and Du Ruo felt that it would be hypocritical for him to refuse, so he could only sit on it.

The car drove onto the motorway and was squeezed into the traffic flow. There were countless red lights, stop and go, and traffic jams all the way.

The two of them sat in the carriage without talking. The old people met, and because of the previous relationship, they were very embarrassed.

Jiang Hao seemed even more cramped, fiddled with all his might, turned on the stereo for a while, and turned on the heater for a while.

I don't know what CD was playing, it was very noisy, the sharp female voice was mixed with the accompaniment of the drum set, Du Ruo frowned, Jiang Hao quickly turned down the volume, and said in a slightly embarrassing way: "Sorry, you are pregnant now, you can't Listen to this nonsense."

"It's okay, but I remember you didn't listen to such loud music before."

"Well, I don't listen to it. Xiaoya bought this disc, and she likes these bouncing songs." Jiang Hao mentioned Xu Xiaoya in a displeased tone, even with depression.

Du Ruo let out an "oh" and didn't speak again.

There was another red light ahead, so Jiang Hao stepped on the brakes and began to rummage in the car. He took out a disc and replaced it. Du Ruo's heart tightened when he heard the melodious and familiar prelude.

……

"Don't mention the past

Life has been stormy
Even though the memory can't be erased

Love and hate are still in my heart
really gonna stop

let's continue tomorrow

don't ask me for news

......"

An old song, "When Love Is A Past" by Li Zongsheng and Lin Yilian.

Du Ruo still remembers this disc, which he bought several years ago.

At that time, the two had just graduated and were planning to get married. Once she was shopping with Jiang Hao and happened to pass by a record store. "Farewell My Concubine" was playing on the big screen at the door, and it happened to be at the end. The ending song was Lin Yilian This solo song "When Love is a Past".

The singing came out from the shop. Du Ruo liked it very much when he heard it, so he went in and paid for it.

It should be a pirated disc. She remembered that it only cost more than 20 yuan.

Jiang Hao laughed at her at the time: "Since when did you like this kind of old songs like Yiyi Yaya?"

"Well, listen to the lyrics carefully, the lyrics are really well written."

Yeah, the lyrics are so well written!
Such a good lyrics, suitable for the situation.

Du Ruo hummed softly, turned up the volume, and asked, "Do you still have this disc?"

Jiang Hao was even more embarrassed, and scratched his head: "I don't have the leisure and elegance to go to the record store. I will listen to this disc occasionally. The lyrics are really well written. I remember what you said at the time, and sometimes listen to the music in your heart. Will follow suit."

"..." Du Ruo didn't answer any more, she felt that if she continued, something would happen in response to the lyrics.

But Jiang Hao seemed to have opened up the chatter box, and suddenly turned to Du Ruo, with a sullen face, and asked, "Did I blame myself? I shouldn't have treated you like that back then. If I hadn't divorced you back then, so much wouldn't have happened. Things! Maybe we both have kids now, and it gets better every day..."

"..." Du Ruo didn't dare to say anything.

Jiang Hao continued: "I used to think that you drink alcohol, come home late, and send money to your natal family. These problems are heinous, but now that you think about it, these are nothing at all, what are they! Just throwing plates and throwing things, it’s better than checking my phone and waiting to watch over me 24 hours a day, and even put my mother in the hospital..."

Jiang Hao was full of resentment, and Du Ruo understood that he and Xu Xiaoya were not on good terms.

But Wilde said: There are two tragedies in life, one is not getting what you want, and the other is getting what you don't want.

In many marriages, these two tragedies account for it.

"Okay, Jiang Hao, it's meaningless to talk about it now." Seeing that something was wrong, Du Ruo immediately stopped his words.

Just when the red light flashed to green, the traffic started.

Du Ruo breathed a sigh of relief, but Jiang Hao let go of the brakes and drove the car to the side of the road to stop.

"What are you doing?"

Jiang Hao smiled wryly, turned off the engine, and buried his head on the steering wheel...

Du Ruo felt that his mood was not right, so he pushed his shoulder and asked, "Jiang Hao, what's wrong with you?"

The person on the steering wheel shook his head and whispered: "It's okay, sit with me for a while, it's rare to see you..."

Du Ruo and Jiang Hao have college classmates in common, and occasionally she will hear gossip about Jiang Hao from her classmates.

For example, she knew that Jiang Hao's situation was not good recently, so she was transferred by Xu Fenglin. He was transferred from the former chief of the project department of the district to the city, and changed to an unpopular department.

Jiang Hao worked very hard in the district before, and finally made some achievements, but now that he was transferred, he lost everything.

These are not the key, the key is the problem between Jiang Hao and Xu Xiaoya.

I heard that the two often quarreled, even to the point of fighting, and several times Xiaoya directly quarreled with the work unit!
Jiang Hao wants to save face, so he will be dissatisfied with his work and family.

Du Ruo really hated Jiang Hao when she first got divorced, but time has passed, she has experienced so many things herself, and she has put aside everything.

"Jiang Hao, a lot of things have passed, maybe it's not as bad as you think." She went to pat Jiang Hao's shoulder again.

Jiang Hao raised his head and looked at Du Ruo with dim eyes.

After a long time, he smiled slightly.

"It's retribution. Last week, I quarreled with Xiaoya again. Because I went back a little late, she packed up her things and moved back to her mother's house overnight. Forget it. She often does this, but when I went back the next day, I found that the door The locks were all changed by her, and she is homeless, so she can only live with my mother! You know, I want to save face so much, and now I am so useless!"

"So serious? He doesn't trust you!"

"No, she has a suspicious and sensitive personality. This is only one of the reasons. The more important thing is that she is infertile..."

"How?" Du Ruo was surprised.

Jiang Hao's eyelids drooped, and he rubbed his face with his hands. He hadn't seen his face, which he used to call "grass" in college, and he hadn't seen it for a few months. Du Ruo suddenly felt a lot depressed.

"I had a miscarriage before, but I couldn't get pregnant after all. I went to the hospital for checkups several times. The doctor said that she had ovulation dysfunction. Hard to have."

What a cruel reality, Du Ruo's heart clenched into a ball, and he subconsciously caressed Gao Long's lower abdomen with his hand.

"I'm sorry..." Only by saying this can she relieve her guilt a little bit, because she was also responsible for Xu Xiaoya's miscarriage last time.

Jiang Hao shook his head, smiling very bitterly.

"At the beginning, I also blamed you, but later I figured it out. Maybe we are lucky that we don't have children. You said that in the case of me and Xiaoya, divorce will happen sooner or later. Having children is also a drag. Why take an innocent life at risk?"

"You can't say that. Children are the bond of marriage. Maybe having children will strengthen the relationship between you."

"Is it really possible? What about you?" Jiang Hao shifted his gaze to Du Ruo's lower abdomen: "Your own condition is not good either. I saw everything about you and Qiao Anming on the Internet before. What about your stomach now? So big, where is he?"

"..."

Well, Du Ruo retorted silently, whether it's a relationship or marriage, she Du Ruo is the biggest loser, and she is not qualified to explain others.

It's just that her situation is different from Qiao Anming's.

"There are too many obstacles between me and Qiao Anming, I can't see the light, I am an intruder, I have hurt too much, so I deserve to quit, but I have never regretted having this child, and I have always been grateful, I am grateful to fate for giving me a little life, otherwise there would be nothing but memories between me and Qiao Anming, but it is different now, the child is the continuation of my feelings for him..."

What touching words, Du Ruo's persistence in this relationship can be summed up in the word "great".

Jiang Hao looked at Du Ruo in a daze, and saw Du Ruo whom he had never known in these years, so gentle and peaceful, restrained all the minions and domineering before.

"He is indeed luckier than me. I have been with you for four years and married for two years, which is not as good as the few months he gave you!"

Jiang Hao said so bitterly, he took out a cigarette and asked, "Do you mind? Take a few puffs."

Du Ruo shook his head: "It's okay, I don't care."

Jiang Hao took out the lighter, but before the cigarette was lit, he extinguished it again.

"It's better not to smoke, you are pregnant with the child. Sit with me for a while, I don't want to go back, my mother is tired of listening to the child's things all day long, but today I finally met you, Du Ruo, in fact, I I often think of you..."

See, people always feel cherished after losing.

But the scenery is still there, and the people are far away.

There is no "regret medicine" in the world to take, and all the past can't go back.

The singing in the car was still going on, Jiang Hao pressed the loop to play.

Lin Yilian's clear and cold voice, Li Zongsheng's rough and deep voice, these two people in the entertainment industry are also divorced, but when they occasionally listen to this song that interprets the emotion of "lost" so vividly, what kind of mood do they feel?
"...

love it's a problem

dazzling
Forget about the pain, maybe

It's too easy to forget you
you never really left

you are always in my heart

i still love you

I can't help myself
......"

Du Ruo sat with Jiang Hao in the car for half an hour, and it wasn't until Mo Youting called to remind her that she remembered that she had invited Mo Youting to dinner tonight.

Recently, her taste has been bland, and she tried not to touch seafood, so she found a restaurant with local dishes in Shanghai.

Jiang Hao sent Du Ruo to the door of the restaurant, and Du Ruo said goodbye and got off the car.

Just when he wanted to go in, he saw Jiang Hao chasing him.

"That...can you give me your cell phone number?"

"My mobile phone number?" Du Ruo was a little surprised. Doesn't Jiang Hao have her mobile phone number?But after thinking about it, it became clear.

"I have your number, let me give you a call." Du Ruo dialed Jiang Hao's number very readily. Although he was divorced, he would not become an enemy.

Jiang Hao glanced at the flickering screen of the mobile phone, and there was a series of familiar numbers on it. He felt relieved, but smiled far-fetchedly and said: "Before Xiaoya was suspicious, and she was always afraid that I would contact you privately, so I put your number in the I deleted it from my phone, but I think we may need to contact in the future, so you should leave me a number..."

The more Jiang Hao explained, the more embarrassed he became.

Du Ruo smiled helplessly, feeling that Jiang Hao was useless and pitiful for the first time.

"I will memorize your number and not save it in the phone, otherwise one day Xiaoya finds out and there will be another quarrel, and I will get annoyed." Jiang Hao didn't hide it in front of Du Ruo, "Okay, you go in Well, we will keep in touch in the future."

So he turned and left first, and quickly mixed into the crowd.

Du Ruo always remembered his back, with his head slightly buried, his back arched, and his hair was shaved very short.

Probably because of the cold, he shrank his head a little into the collar, and he was still wearing the black jacket he used to wear.

This is Du Ruo's first love, first man, first marriage.

Loved, hated, and complained, but looking at Jiang Hao's thin and desolate back, Du Ruo let go of all the grievances at once.

Mo Youting called again to remind Du Ruo to come to the restaurant.

She called and booked the box at noon, and sincerely invited Mo Youting to dinner, just the two of them.

Mo Youting was so flattered that he bought a bouquet of flowers on the way, but felt that it was not enough, so he ran to the jewelry store in a panic.

As soon as Du Ruo entered the box, he saw a bouquet of bright red roses, huge and huge, wrapped in old kraft paper, almost occupying most of the table.

But she pretended not to see, walked around the flower, and sat directly opposite Mo Youting.

The dishes are all served, and the color, fragrance and taste are delicious.

Du Ruo poured wine, served vegetables and served soup for Mo Youting, with a faint smile on his face all the time.

Being so attentive, Mo Youting gradually felt that something was wrong.

"Hey, Du Ruo, what are you doing? Do you have something to say?"

"Drink first."

"What kind of wine to drink? I came here by car."

"I have a driver's license, I'll drive back for you!"

"No, I feel panicked when you're like this, you suddenly invite me to dinner, what's the matter?"

"Is it okay to drink and eat first? I'm starving to death, and so is my son." Du Ruo didn't care about him anymore. She couldn't drink because she was pregnant anyway, so she ate vegetables and soup.

Some things, you have to eat and drink enough to have the courage to say it.

Mo Youting is impatient, she is so mysterious, how can he have the heart to eat.

"What's the matter? The child's matter? The company's matter? Or Qiao Anming's matter? You said it, I'm so anxious!" He urged, but Du Ruo had no choice but to put down the bowl and chopsticks, raise his head, and focus his eyes as much as possible. Rou: "Not at all, it's our business!"

"What about the two of us?" Mo Youting tightened his heart.

"Well, I promised you to think about it for a few days before, and now I have the answer."

"What's the answer? Nod or shake your head! If you nod, we'll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow. I'll take the household registration book with me." Mo Youting was terribly nervous. It was the first time he was so nervous when he was so old. Never been like this.

Du Ruo squeezed her fingers, she really couldn't tell.

"Mo Youting, don't be like this. I went to resign this afternoon and had a maternity checkup. There is still a week before the due date."

"What do you mean by that?"

"It means, I want to leave Tongcheng, I don't want to have children in Tongcheng, I planned to leave before, but Sheng'an's resignation application has not been approved until now..." Du Ruo didn't dare to say the following words, because Mo You Ting's face became more and more serious, and finally it was almost angry.

"Is this the answer you gave me?"

"……Yes!"

"You made such a big circle just to reject me? If you really don't want to marry me and don't need to flee to other cities, I won't force you. Why do you do this?"

"I didn't leave because of you. I planned it a long time ago. I can't have a baby in Tongcheng. I don't want to stay here. I have to start over in another place!"

"After all, is it because of Qiao Anming?!"

Du Ruo was also angry: "Can you stop involving him in everything? Yes, I admit that I can't pass this hurdle for the time being, but I have been working hard, not to mention that I have to plan for my child. I can't do it alone. I live here with my child, and the Qiao family will not let me go!"

So she had to go, far away.

If Qiao Anming becomes ruthless, Du Ruo is no match for him. She has been taught before, and she almost has no bones left!

Mo Youting didn't speak any more.

He knew that Du Ruo would not agree to marry him so easily, but he didn't expect that she would come up with this trick in the end.

Just leave!

Great!

What else can he do?After chasing, begging, and forcing, she still doesn't want to stay by his side!So I can only drink, drink a lot of wine, drink on an empty stomach, and get completely drunk.

When Mo Youting got out of the box, he couldn't stand still, so Du Ruo asked the waiter to help him out.

I found Mo Youting's car in the parking lot, it was no longer the chartered car, it was replaced by a regular black BMW.

Du Ruo has never driven this kind of car, but she has driven Qiao Anming's Bentley. The configuration and interior of the high-end car are similar, so she started it smoothly after a few minutes of groping.

Zheng Xiaoran has already sent the address of the Mo family mansion to Du Ruo's mobile phone, the place Du Ruo is familiar with, a wealthy area in Tongcheng.

She went there a few times when she was a medical representative before, to pick up the dean's wives, accompany them to SPA, go shopping...

He rang the doorbell, and soon someone answered the door.

The person who came was a woman wearing a checkered thin padded jacket. Seeing Du Ruo with a big belly standing outside the iron gate, she was taken aback for a moment and asked coldly, "Who is Miss looking for?"

Du Ruo turned back and pointed to Mo Youting's car.

"Mo Youting is drunk, I will send him back!"

"What?" The woman immediately opened the electric iron door and rushed over, and she saw Mo Youting dead drunk on the back seat.

"Ma'am, ma'am...Xiaoyu... Come quickly and help the young master, the young master is drunk..."

Soon, I saw a little girl running out of the hall, followed by Qi Meizhen, running to the side of the car blah, yelling: "Ting Ting, Ting Ting, oops...how did you drink like this, wake up!"

Du Ruo walked over and said, "He's fine, but he's too drunk to drive, so I'll send him back!"

Only then did Qi Meizhen notice Du Ruo beside her, and her expression changed instantly.
