obsessed with love

Chapter 248 Coffee and Sugar
what happened?

Bulb blown?

Power out?
Before they could react, a waiter was already knocking on the door of their private room: "I'm really sorry, Mr. Qiao, the generator on the ship broke down, and we will arrange staff to fix it soon. Please sit in the private room first ..."

Qiao Anming hugged Du Ruo, and responded to the person outside the door: "Understood, please hurry up!"

"Let me go..." Du Ruo took advantage of the gap between Qiao Anming's words, broke free from his hand, and moved the chairs back one by one.

Sit down, wait quietly... Each of them doesn't speak.

But damn it, the failure of the generator can't be repaired in a matter of minutes, and the private rooms in the cabin are fully enclosed. Now that the electricity is gone, there is no light in the private rooms.

Sitting on the chair, Du Ruo gradually felt that something was wrong, and his breathing became more and more rapid. Coupled with the stamina of the bamboo leaf wine, the drunkenness began to rise, and the whole person was dizzy...

Confused, she seemed to feel that her hand was being held, Qiao Anming's elegant breath was pressed down from above, and her shoulders were wrapped around his shoulders.

"Du Ruo, are you feeling sick again? I'll take you out, there is light outside."

She bit her lip and was so dizzy that she couldn't speak.

Qiao Anming lifted her limp body from the chair and hugged her in her arms.

Qiao Anming couldn't actually see the dark lights in the private room, and tripped when he passed the screen with Du Ruo in his arms.

"Be careful..." In desperation, he quickly wrapped his arms around Du Ruo's waist. Due to his survival instinct, Du Ruo knew how to wrap his hands around Qiao Anming's neck when he was dizzy... Something happened, so tight In the sticking position, her face unconsciously lay on Qiao Anming's neck, and the skin touched, causing a big shudder.

The time and place are right, just send people to make peace.

He is also a normal man. Although he knows that she is drunk, it is not good to take advantage of her at this time, but the feeling of holding back is really uncomfortable...

"Du Ruo..." he asked with wet breath.

Du Ruo squeezed out the word "um" from between his teeth in a daze, but in the next second, his shoulders were swept away, his back hit the screen, and a hot kiss came over...

Compared with the last time, this time the kiss was more passionate, skipping the trial link, and poured directly and forcefully.

Du Ruo was about to suffocate. After being kissed like this, he pushed Qiao Anming with both hands, but there was no strength in his hands. In the end, Qiao Anming directly fixed his two wrists on top of his head...

Breath out of rhythm.

In the darkness, she could hear the sound of heartbeat, breathing, the soothing sound of waves outside the boat...and Qiao Anming's bewitching voice in her ear.

"Du Ruo, follow me back to the hotel, okay?"

She mumbled, seemed to nod, then shook her head quickly.

"No, you're drunk."

"I'm not drunk, I'm sober...you are the one who is drunk."

"Then I'm drunk... I can't go with you."

"Then what should we do? Could it be here?"

"What... are you doing here?" She was still asking stupidly, but there was a "pop" above her head, the chandelier was turned on, Du Ruo's eyes flashed because of the strong light, and when she opened, Qiao Anming's breath was in front of her. Disordered, with a flushed handsome face, a slight smile, eyes full of longing.

As for herself, because of the intensity just now, the buttons of her clothes have been undone, her hands are placed on top of her head, and her body is pressed against him...

"If you don't mind, you can also be on the boat..."

"What?" She was still asking, the conscience of heaven and earth, she was really drunk, and she was kissed by Qiao Anming again, how could she have normal thinking.

Qiao Anming was so amused by the expression on her face that he could only let go of her hand, and kissed her forehead reluctantly.

"Forget it, it seems that you are really drunk. If I really do something to you, it will seem that I am taking advantage of others." Qiao Anming said slightly, and buttoned Du Ruo's chest again.

"Let's go, don't eat, I'll take you back first..." After speaking, he took her hand.

Du Ruo staggered and was dragged off the boat by him...

There was a wind on the shore, and the wind was blowing from the lake to the shore.

Qiao Anming let go of Du Ruo's hand.

"Come with me for a walk, I also drank just now, so I can't drive."

Du Ruo nodded dizzily, and the two began to walk along the lakeshore, each in silence, for about half an hour.

Du Ruo's wine had already sobered up by four or five, before Qiao Anming asked, "Do you still hate me?"

"Why do you ask this all of a sudden?"

"I want to know the answer. If you hate me, I won't say some things today. If you have forgiven me a little, I want to trouble you."

"What's the matter?" Du Ruo asked.

Qiao Anming stopped in his tracks: "You answer my question first, do you still hate it?"

Du Ruo seemed to think about it before opening his mouth.

"I hated it at first, but I don't hate it now."

"why?"

"Because I don't have the strength to hate." Du Ruo stretched his arms, walked forward a few steps, and stood in front of the fence by the lake, leaving Qiao Anming with a thin back.

"Before I was two years old, I was actually in a mess. I had to work during the day and come back to take care of him at night. At that time, I hired an aunt to take him. The aunt may be lazy. I gave him enough sleep during the day. , the little guy refuses to sleep at night, often tossing me until very late, and I have to get up many times a night, so for two years, I haven't slept a full night, and maybe I'm pregnant The nutrition did not keep up with him when he was two years old. Before he was two years old, he often fell ill, and I had to go to the hospital almost every month..."

In front of such a beautiful lake view, she recounted the hard work of these years in a gentle tone, as if understating it. Finally, she turned her head, and the wind blew over, and her hair slightly covered one side of her eyelid.

She asked Qiao Anming with a sneer like that: "Day and night, I am led by life like a donkey, and I don't know what will happen tomorrow. Do you think that in that situation, I still have extra time and energy to hate?" you?"

This is really the worst answer Qiao Anming has ever heard.

"If you are so bitter, then I would rather you hate me!"

"Actually, there is nothing to hate. I am an adult and I have to be responsible for my actions. I also thought about it later. It was understandable for you to fight for the custody right in that situation, but do you know what I can't bear the most? ?”

"What?" Qiao Anming asked.

"The most unbearable thing is that you use tricks to deal with me! I always thought that no matter what happened between us, you should at least have some compassion for me, but in the end you actually used those methods in your business to deal with me! You need to find a lawyer , you collected evidence, you said that I was drinking... You even exchanged the villa we lived together with me. I really wanted to ask you at that time, did you hesitate when you made these decisions? ?”

"Of course, if you don't marry Mo Youting, I won't force you like this!"

"It was your Qiao family who forced me first, and Gu Lan came to me twice!" Du Ruo recalled what happened back then, and her emotions began to fluctuate again, "She went to Tongcheng to find me and asked me to give up the custody rights. There is no other way to marry Mo Youting in a fake way!"

"But you didn't say it at the time! You tried desperately to draw a line with me, and I'm not a god. Do you think I can bear the woman I love taking my son to marry other men?"

"So? So you used those methods to fight with me?"

"No, I didn't think that you and Mo Youting had a fake marriage. I was also stunned at the time. I didn't know that you and Mo Youting were not together until you left Tongcheng suddenly, but it was too late. If you really want to It's strange, there are too many misunderstandings between us, and we don't trust each other!"

Qiao Anming's emotions also became agitated.

Du Ruo shook his head: "It's meaningless to say these things now. I've followed through the most difficult moments and survived. We are living a very good life now."

"What about after that?"

"In the future?" Du Ruo calmed down and mustered up his courage, "I just ask you not to disturb me in the future!"

"Is this the conclusion you gave me?"

"Yes, although I have had a hard time in the past two years, at least I have peace of mind, so please don't bother me anymore, we are not from the same world."

"Then why did you show me my photo?" Qiao Anming was unwilling.

Du Ruo sneered: "Do you believe me when I coax a three-year-old child? Besides, what if I showed you your photo? You said it yourself, the fact that you are his father can never be changed, so there is The right to know who his father is, but knowing it doesn't mean having it. He is destined to have no father!"

Du Ruo was always working hard.

It was with this energy that she had the courage to live in Yi County alone for three years.

She understands that there should be no obstacles between her and Qiao Anming now. Gu Lan has passed away, so they should be able to be together, but the scars in her heart are too deep, and many things are considered misunderstandings, but the pain left behind is real, so she Can't get over it.

In fact, to put it bluntly, she couldn't pass her own test.

Seeing that she was so excited, Qiao Anming knew that it would be no good to annoy her, so he immediately suppressed his voice to persuade: "Okay, okay, let's not talk about the past, but there is something I want to ask you."

"Say!"

"My mother's stomach cancer recurred, and she gave up surgery and chemotherapy. I respect her opinion. The doctor in charge said that she may not survive until the end of this year, so can we give up living with her for a while before she leaves?"

Du Ruo didn't respond for a while, but after thinking it through, his face turned cold.

"Qiao Anming, you have followed me, pestered me, invited me to dinner, and made such a big circle all this time. The ultimate goal is actually to give your mother a condolence gift?"

She was almost fooled, and almost addicted again. It turned out that it was all illusory, and he had another purpose.

As soon as Qiao Anming heard that she had misunderstood again, she immediately explained: "No, it's not what you think at all. I just want to fulfill my mother's last wish. My mother has been thinking about it all these years, and now she is numbered. What if Liao went to live with him for a while? What's more, she is still Liao's grandma!"

"Anyway, it's impossible, you'd better get rid of this idea, and you will never step into the door of your Qiao's house in this life!" Du Ruo became more and more angry. She is not a saint, she is magnanimous, and she can't do such things as repaying grievances with virtue.

"Don't mention this to me again, I won't agree, let's go, send me back!"

Du Ruo looked like there was no room for negotiation, and walked directly to the parking lot past Qiao Anming.

Du Ruo went to Zheng Xiaoran's house early in the morning to pick him up.

The person who opened the door was Xiaobai, wearing pajamas, with toothpaste foam on his mouth, and when he saw Du Ruo at the door, he quickly wiped his mouth clean with a towel.

"Du Ruo, good morning... er...Xiao Ran hasn't woken up yet, I'm making breakfast for you..."

Du Ruo had a knowing smirk, and was about to say something when the little guy rushed over from the living room and grabbed her leg.

"Mom... Mom... Are you here to pick me up and go to the nursery?"

"Yeah, did you brush your teeth? After brushing your teeth, hurry up and have breakfast!"

"Okay, mom is waiting!" The little guy ran away with his buttocks pouted again, turned back halfway, and suddenly raised his head and asked, "Where's daddy..."

Du Ruo felt a chill down his spine, and suddenly didn't know how to answer.

Xiaobai immediately squatted down and hugged him, and rescued Du Ruo: "Dad is very busy, I don't have time to pick him up and go to the kindergarten."

"But why aren't the other dads busy?"

"Because other fathers are not busy with work, but Lie's father is very powerful and has to manage many people, so he is very busy every day."

"My mother always told me that my father is very busy, but yesterday my father came to see. By the way, he even bought a big bear..."

When the little guy said these words, his hands were moving, and his expression was exaggerated and excited.

He was showing off, Qiao Anming came to see him, and Qiao Anming gave him a doll bear.

So children are really good, easy to satisfy, and don't understand anything.

Du Ruo's nose suddenly became sour, and he turned around and took a breath.

Xiaobai stood up and saw the depressed and lonely expression on her face.

Zheng Xiaoran had told Xiaobai about Qiao Anming and Du Ruo, so he could fully understand Du Ruo's helplessness and embarrassment, but as a bystander, he couldn't say much.

"You sit with me for a while, and I'll wake Xiao Ran up. By the way, have you had breakfast, why don't you have some together?"

"No, I ate it."

An hour later, Zheng Xiaoran drove Du Ruohe to the nursery.

The little guy was a little depressed all the way, sitting on Du Ruo's lap, not talking much.

"What's wrong? Are you unhappy?" Zheng Xiaoran asked.

He pouted, and suddenly said: "Auntie Xiao Ran, you lied, you said that you will see Dad after today!"

The little guy's unconscious words made Du Ruo's heart pick up again, his nose was sore, and he could only look out the window.

When sending her to the nursery, Zheng Xiaoran grabbed Du Ruo.

"I'll wait for you outside, find a place to sit down later."

It was still KFC, maybe because it was too early, there were no people inside.

Zheng Xiaoran ordered Du Ruo a cup of coffee.

"Drink it, I know you must have not slept well last night, did you suffer from insomnia? The dark circles under your eyes are so heavy!"

Du Ruo smiled wryly, took a sip of coffee, raised his head and asked, "Do you want to talk to me about Qiao Anming?"

"Hmm... There are two things, and Qiao Anming is just one of them." Zheng Xiaoran paused, "Tell me, what are you and him going to do?"

"I don't have any plans, it's still the same as before, he lives his life, and I live mine!"

"Why? Are you really going to take this life as a widow?"

"What kind of living widow, is it so ugly?" Du Ruo gave Zheng Xiaoran a white look, "I just don't want to have anything to do with him anymore. I've had enough of all the hardships in the past. I finally calmed down these years. I don't want to come again Second time!"

"But it's different now, his wife is dead."

"So what?" Du Ruo asked back, "Do you really think there is only one obstacle between me and him, Gu Lan?"

"Then what else? Age? Identity? Come on, Du Ruo, don't deceive yourself. If you really cared about these things, you wouldn't have insisted on being with him back then, and you wouldn't have given birth to him for him!" Zheng Xiaoran said. Just a little bit more thorough.

Du Ruo had nowhere to escape, so he could only pretend to hold the paper cup of coffee and take a sip: "It's too bitter..."

"Add sugar when it's bitter!" Zheng Xiaoran personally tore open the small bag of sugar for her, poured it into a paper cup, and stirred, "The store has prepared sugar for you, you can pour it all in, there is no need to suffer in vain! Life is like this , the days are too hard to find someone to rely on, what do you do to suffer alone? No one will sympathize with you!"

Zheng Xiaoran looked at Du Ruo while stirring the coffee: "Taste it again, if it's bitter, add another packet of sugar!"

Du Ruo laughed when he heard it: "What's wrong with you today? You talk like you're telling a story!"

Zheng Xiaoran let out a sigh, and raised his brow mischievously: "Tell a story? Haha... Let me tell you something, Xiaobai and I are planning to get married, and the wedding date is set on Valentine's Day next year!"

"So suddenly?"

"It's not sudden, we've been in a formal relationship for two years! His parents have been urging me, and I'm not young anymore!"

"That's right, it's time to get married, Xiaobai is so nice, motivated, gentle, and obedient to you!" Du Ruo was also happy for Zheng Xiaoran. She had been in Yi County for two years and watched Xiaobai silently give to Zheng Xiaoran.

First, I resigned from the company and worked hard outside alone.

I have a small success in my career, and now I have bought a house and a car.

More importantly, he has Xiao Ran in his heart.

"Du Ruo, I figured it out too. I can't be sure that Xiaobai is the person I love the most in my life, but I can be sure that Xiaobai is the person I most want to hold hands with in this life. My mother said, It’s the blessing I cultivated in my previous life that allowed me to meet Xiaobai, who can tolerate all my bad tempers! There’s a word for it, yes… Unrivaled Hero, you told me when you were in college, You said that there will always be an unrivaled hero in our destiny, who will come with colorful clouds..."

Who is her hero?

Could it only be Qiao Anming?

Zheng Xiaoran sent Du Ruo to work in the pharmacy.

When she got out of the car, Zheng Xiaoran grabbed her again.

"Du Ruo, I know the truth and you understand it yourself, so I won't waste time persuading you. Besides, you should remember all the suffering you have suffered these years, so why don't you live in a different way? I know you still have Qiao Anming, I still need my father when I’m dead, why are you holding back your strength to live with yourself? The past is gone, a lifetime is so long, if you still love someone, and you really care about tomorrow, don’t pass by..."

"If you still love someone, really for tomorrow, don't pass by..."

Just because of this sentence, Du Ruo's heart wrapped in layers cracked like a crack...

Zheng Xiaoran patted her on the shoulder: "Okay, I've said everything I need to say, think it over for yourself, I'm going to work."

"Okay." Du Ruomuleng got off the car, suddenly remembered something, and knocked on Xiaoran's car window: "By the way, you said just now that you have two things to tell me, and what is the other one?"

"There is one more thing..." Zheng Xiaoran gripped the steering wheel tightly, and cast his eyes forward: "I have booked a ticket to fly to England next month, and I want to see Mo Youting again before getting married!"

Maybe in everyone's love, someone makes you sweet, and someone makes you bitter.

If you can't stand it, add some sugar.

You may have guessed it at the beginning, but the ending may not be what you imagined at the beginning. You think you can endure the bitterness, you think you can wait forever, but the taste buds can’t deceive anyone, it’s too bitter, it’s always hard to last.

It's just a matter of choice, some like coffee, some like sugar.
