f hope at arm's length, like a cat toying with a mouse!Thinking of this, Wen Man's heart was as calm as still water.She said coldly, “Let’s talk when you get back!”Ho Shaoting stared intently at her b...After seeing Lin Bin's family off, An Ran wanted to help Lin Shen tidy up, but Lin Shen stopped her: "You just came back, rest first! I'll take care of cleaning."

Anran hesitated for a moment and asked, "Aunt Lin, do you want to live with your elder brother He's reformed himself now and is different from before."

Besides, Lin's stepmother is a relative by marriage. It wouldn't be right for her to keep it all to herself.

Aunt Lin tidied up quickly and said, “I’ve discussed it with your sister-in-law! Your older brother earns money outside, and she takes care of the family inside, so she's busy too. As for Lixi, I can't leave him to someone else since he's still so young.”

An Ran is very grateful.

She's not someone who doesn't understand numbers. After thinking for a moment, she told Aunt Lin: "I can set aside 20,000 yuan each month. You take the subsidy and give it to your sister-in-law. That way, Nini will be able to live a little better. Kids her age need proper nutrition to grow."

Aunt Lin patted her hand and finally did not refuse.

After saying all that, she whispered to Anran again, "Are you and Mr. Huo really not getting together"

"All right! I was too impulsive before."

Aunt Lin comforted her: “You’re not losing out! Mr. Huo is very handsome.”

...

She returned to the bedroom, Xiao Linxi sat on the rug playing with toys. Seeing her mother come in, he opened his arms and reached out for a hug, soft and cuddly.

Then An Ran could finally hold her son properly.

A month apart, we kissed and kissed again, but it still wasn't enough.

Linxi will be going to kindergarten next year, and Anran usually reads him some picture books. She habitually opened the drawer of her bedside table but remembered the diamond ring she had put in there last time.

"Daddy took it!" Little Linxi said crisply.

Anran came to her senses and looked at Lin Xi. Although Lin Xi was young, he spoke clearly: "Lin Xi saw it and gave it to his father. His father put it in his pocket and took it away."

Anran didn't say anything, just kissed her son.

Little Linxi sat obediently in her arms, listening to her tell a story. After a while, he pulled his mother's hand and said, "Mommy, you read it wrong. It's three little sheep, not three little rabbits."

In peace, she lowered her head, her chin grazing the top of her son's hair.

She said softly, “Mommy, could you read it again”

But Lin Xi's mind was on other things. He leaned against his mother's arms and whispered, "Will Lin Xi have a new mother in the future"

"Uh"

Anran guessed that Huo Yunsi might be looking for a girlfriend.

Linxi is still young and lacks a sense of security.

She held her son and gently soothed him, "Lin Xi will live with Mommy. Daddy might have someone he likes in the future, but our Lin Xi can just call her aunt!"

Lin Xi babbled: "Don't you call me New Mom"

Anran kissed him softly and said gently, "Don't worry!"

Xiao Linxi felt a little better. He snuggled obediently in his mother's arms. After a while, he couldn't help but peek out with his little head and asked, "Are Dad and Mom separated"

An Ran's nose felt a little sour.

She didn't know how to explain it to her son for a moment. Linxi then continued, "Dad said he had an argument with Mom, just like I had an argument with Zhang Rui...Mom, Rui Rui and I made up quickly, will you and Dad make up too"

Anran hugged Linxi, holding the small person in her arms.

Lin Xi remained silent.

The little one only half understood the complexities of human relationships, he could sense something was off with his parents' relationship, but Lin Xi was always well-behaved and never cried or complained.

When she finally got Lin Xi to sleep, An Ran leaned against the headboard and gently stroked her son's face.

He's getting more and more like Huo Yunsi!

She took a light shower and lay beside Linxi, planning for the future.

She is planning to move to a new house in the middle of next year, a four-bedroom apartment. As for this one, she wants to sell it at a low price to Lin Bin when he settles down, as a way of repaying his aunt.

The phone rang.

"Upon seeing it was Huo Yunshi's call, An Ran hesitated for a moment before picking up. "Is something the matter"

She got out of bed and walked to the small balcony attached to her bedroom.

It's a bit chilly.

Huo Yunsi's tone was flat: "On New Year's Eve, I wanted to bring Linxi over. Is it convenient for you there"

She actually knew that ever since Huo Yunsi learned about Lin Xi's existence, she had been unable to stop him from seeing Lin Xi. Besides, they were now co-parenting a child together. After pondering for a moment, she said, "Alright! How about four o'clock this afternoon"

Her tone of voice was very businesslike.

The atmosphere was tense.

On both ends of the phone, there was only the sound of each other's breathing. After a long silence, Huo Yunsi softly said, "This coming afternoon at four o'clock, I'll come pick him up."

He hung up the phone after that.

One phone call, except for Lin Xi not saying anything else, one after another was decisive.

An Ran thought about their current relationship, it seemed even more stiff than when they had first met again. If not for Lin Xi, she really might have stayed at odds with him until the end of her days.

A cold winter night,

But An Ran just stood outside, holding her phone for a while.

……

Early in the morning, Anran got up and took Auntie Lin and Limxi to the shopping mall.

During the Chinese New Year, she bought several sets of clothes for Aunt Lin, Lin Xi, and Nunu. Aunt Lin stopped her, refusing to let her buy any more: "I have too many clothes in my closet already, if we're buying, you should get yourself some clothes and accessories. Now that you've been promoted, people outside will call you General An. Besides your ability, we can't let the team down. Why don't you ask Miss Li to go shopping with you another day I think she's pretty nice to you, and she even came to our house twice when you were in H city."

Anran was helping Niuniu try on shoes, and looked up: "She didn't say that."

Auntie Lin couldn't help but say again, "He actually asked about Mr. Gu."

Anran remained silent, continuing to help Niuniu try on shoes. Niuniu, sensing Anran's distraction, called out to her, "Auntie."

Ann calmed down and gently patted the little girl.

Lin Shen let out a light sigh: "Actually, she's a pretty good girl. Why wouldn't your Mr. Gu marry her She has a good family background and is devoted to him wholeheartedly. All the men in this world are just cheap."

Anran didn't say anything more.

Auntie Lin saw her expression and didn't mention it anymore...

Four people had bought things and then eaten dinner outside. As they were preparing to go home, Lin Xi suddenly cried out, "Dad, Dad..."

Anran followed her gaze.

Through a layer of glass, she saw Huo Yunsi. He was having coffee with a girl, perhaps his new girlfriend But when the girl turned her head, An Ran was stunned. It was Sun Tian.

Are they back together

Leaving abruptly now would definitely be inappropriate, besides Huo Yunsi had already seen her.

He looked deeply into her eyes, calmly taking in both her and the Limxi she held. Then, he turned to Sun Tian opposite him and said, “I’ll consider this matter. You tell your parents to wait for news.”

Sun Tian's eyes were filled with tears: "Ho Yunsi, I can only beg you!"

Huo Yunsi smiled faintly, got up and said she would be leaving. Sun Tian followed suit and then saw Anran, who wasn't alone, but had a whole family with her.g bowed his head, gently pinching his wife's cheek, "My own wife, I take care of myself."He hung up the phone.Over there, Ho Chin-tung was furious.Haha, your wife is pregnant, that's amazing!But just...
