Chapter 17 Thanks
Chapter 17 Thanks
After Ye Nan finished telling Xiaohu the bedtime story, she took advantage of the old lady to go downstairs to chat with Aunt Xiao, and let Xiaohu try on the clothes she bought.
Xiaohu repeatedly said that it looked good, Ye Nan was very happy, and carefully hung some clothes in the closet.
"Brother, I'm going to wear the Ultraman dress tomorrow!" Xiao Hu announced loudly while standing on the bed.
"Okay~" Ye Nan responded, remembered again, and said apologetically, "Xiaohu, you can't wear that dress tomorrow, brother must wash all the clothes first, otherwise the dust on the newly bought clothes will be all over the place. It fell on Xiaohu."
When Xiaohu heard this, he rolled over on the bed, as if something was crawling on him.
While rolling over, he put his hands on his body and rubbed it back and forth, muttering: "The ashes are all on my body, it's so itchy, so itchy, I don't want to wear new clothes!"
Ye Nan was amused by him and laughed.
Ye Nan didn't deliberately conceal the matter of buying clothes for Xiaohu, and Xiaohu put on new clothes soon after, even though Ren Yi didn't necessarily do the shopping for the clothes himself, he still found out quickly.
This is also due to the joy of Xiaohu who can't wait to promote it all over the world after putting on the new clothes.
That day Ye Nan changed Xiaohu into new clothes after he got up, Xiaohu ran all the way downstairs, Ye Nan couldn't catch up even if he wanted to.
The old lady and Aunt Xiao were waiting for the dumplings in the steamer in the kitchen, while discussing what to buy for a while, when Xiaohu rushed in and hugged her thigh.
"Grandma! Grandma! Do you think I am different today!" Xiaohu asked with his head raised.
The old lady came here rarely, so naturally she didn't notice that Xiaohu was wearing new clothes, but Aunt Xiao could tell at a glance.
"Xiaohu's Ultraman clothes are different from the previous one?" Aunt Xiao asked with a smile.
"Grandma! Today's one is not the one before!" Xiaohu was like a small train, his voice rumbling with excitement, "Grandma, grandma, guess who bought Xiaohu's new clothes!"
Ye Nan followed behind Xiaohu, her face turned red when she heard it, and she hurried forward to hug Xiaohu.
"Xiaohu, didn't we agree to keep this secret for brother?" He lowered his head and whispered into Xiaohu's ear.
When Xiaohu heard this, he immediately covered his mouth with both hands: "I, I forgot, brother."
Their whispers were overheard by the two old men.
The old lady and Aunt Xiao smiled at each other, and the old lady bent down with a thoughtful expression: "This is a bit hard to guess, our little tiger is so cute, so many people like it, who would buy clothes for him?"
When Xiaohu heard that he really stumped grandma, he was so happy that he danced in Ye Nan's arms: "Grandma, guess again, guess again! I can give you a hint!"
The old lady suppressed a smile: "What hint?"
Xiaohu rolled his eyes and said in a mysterious tone: "The reminder is that it wasn't from Dad! Stop guessing about Dad!"
"Why don't you guess me anymore?"
The people in the room were laughing when suddenly a deep voice broke in.
Ye Nan was startled, and hurriedly looked back.
Ren Yi was standing at the door of the kitchen. He put the suit on his arm with one hand, and was tying a tie around his neck with the other.
The tall man blocked the light outside the door, his head was lowered, and his face was also in the shadows.
But when Ye Nan looked at those eyes, she was clearly very dazzling, as if she could see through everything.
Ye Nan thought, maybe she couldn't hide it.
Xiaohu jumped up and threw himself on his father.
He still remembered the agreement with Ye Nan, so he endured very hard and had to cover his mouth to complete the task.
Ren Yi lowered his eyes to look at Xiaohu's clothes, turned his head to look at Ye Nan, and asked in a low voice, "Did you buy clothes for Xiaohu?"
Ye Nan: Second cowardly.
Regardless of the old lady and Aunt Xiao watching, he answered honestly in a low voice: "Well, I went to the city center a few days ago and bought a few for Xiaohu."
"Not just this one?" Ren Yi asked again.
Ye Nan thought, he probably forgot to take his brain when he woke up today.
But be frank and lenient, anyway, they will be discovered sooner or later.
He nodded and said, "I bought a few, just a few, not expensive, I lived here for a month, and I haven't bought a gift for Xiaohu yet, so I bought it."
Ren Yi seemed to accept this statement, and did not pursue further.
Ye Nan secretly rubbed her forehead.
He felt that in Ren Yi's eyes, the little Jiujiu in his heart had nowhere to hide.
Ren Yi put on his suit, sat at the dining table and picked up his mobile phone to listen to a voice.
Aunt Xiao raced against time to bring out the breakfast and placed it on the dining table one by one.
Ren Yi seldom had the opportunity to eat breakfast at home before going out. Even if he sometimes had to send Xiaohu to kindergarten, he basically chose to wait in the study while working, and then took Xiaohu away.
Seeing that it was almost nine o'clock today and Ren Yi hadn't left the house yet, the two old people wanted to keep Ren Yi for breakfast before leaving.
"No hurry, Mom, I'll go to the company after I send you back today." Ren Yi raised his eyes and said something to the old lady.
The old lady was stunned for a moment, and hugged Xiaohu who was beside her sadly: "Yes, I'm going back today."
Xiaohu bit the steamed bun, his eyes immediately became moist: "Grandma, are you leaving?"
The old lady rubbed Xiaohu's hair, and said softly: "Grandma is leaving. Grandma just came to see you and see that you are doing well. You still have an older brother to take care of you. Grandma can rest assured."
Ren Yi went to the tea room to make a cup of coffee, and just heard this sentence when it was brought out.
Ye Nan was sitting at the table and felt that her existence was a little inappropriate, and she was taken aback when she heard the old lady's last sentence.
Then he heard a low laugh.
Ren Yi sat down on the seat beside him, and said in a low voice: "Yes, Xiaohu has an older brother to take care of him, so you can rest assured."
Ye Nan straightened up quickly, feeling that she had a great responsibility and should show her loyalty right now.
But the old lady wiped her tears and changed the subject when she spoke again.
"You know, this is not the only thing I'm worried about." The old lady said to Ren Yi.
Ren Yi didn't look up, just lowered his eyes and gently stirred the coffee cup with a small spoon.
"You, after such a long time, it's time to think about your own affairs." The old lady sighed.
Ye Nan pricked up her ears and closed her ears quickly.
He felt that it was not suitable for him to sit here and listen to this topic.
At the dining table, Aunt Xiao concentrated on putting a few dumplings on the plate and handing them to them. Xiaohu concentrated on biting the steamed bun in his hand, and Ye Nan had to take a steamed bun and tear a small piece into his mouth.
Although he knew in his heart that he shouldn't listen to the conversation between the old lady and Ren Yi, the self-closing function of his ears had obviously not been developed yet, and every word from beside him drifted into his ears.
"Originally you said that you wanted to keep Xiaohu by your side, but I disagreed. I knew that because of having Xiaohu, you would completely stop thinking about living with other people for the rest of your life." The old lady continued.
Ren Yi neither denied nor admitted, and remained silent without speaking.
"Xiaohu wasn't your responsibility in the first place. Mom still hopes that you can put your own affairs first." The old lady sighed, and didn't continue the topic after saying this sentence.
Ren Yi drank a cup of coffee in silence before saying in a low voice, "I know."
Ye Nan remained calm until the breakfast was over, Ren Yi accompanied the old lady to pack her luggage, and then went out with the old lady's suitcase.
The old lady hugged Xiaohu for a long time before letting go, and then left.
Ye Nan took Xiaohu back to the game room, he was always distracted when playing games with Xiaohu, so he apologized to Xiaohu.
In fact, Xiaohu was not in a very high mood. He fell asleep after sitting on the carpet in the game room and playing for a while.
Ye Nan took out a thin blanket from the cabinet, hugged Xiaohu in his arms, and then covered Xiaohu with the thin blanket.
Ye Nan looked down at Xiaohu's sleeping face, and kept recalling what the old lady said at the dining table in her mind.
He slowly brushed Xiaohu's facial features with his fingers through the air.
He feels that Xiaohu and Ren Yi are somewhat similar, especially the parts below the eyes.
Is the relationship between Ren Yi and Xiaohu really father and son?
In other words, Ren Yi and Xiaohu are indeed related by blood, but they are not father and son?
The tone of the old lady's speech to Ren Yi today does not feel like the tone of her former son-in-law.
An answer was ready to come out in Ye Nan's heart, but it couldn't really be defined as an accurate answer.
Ye Nan thought a lot, until she felt that she was prying deeper and deeper into Ren Yi's privacy, then she stopped in panic.
Ren Yi was busy until it was dark before going home.
Ye Nan tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep after taking a bath, so she turned on the light and stood by the window staring at the night in a daze.
He spotted Ren Yi's car as soon as it drove in.
Ye Nan's room was on the second floor, so he could hear Ren Yi's footsteps going up and then hiding in a room above his head.
But this time, listening to Ren Yi's footsteps, he always felt that he took a lot less steps than usual.
He still couldn't react when he heard the knock on the door of the room.
Ren Yi asked in a low voice outside the door: "Can I come in?"
Ye Nan just jumped up and ran towards the door: "I'm here, I'm here."
When Ye Nan opened the door, she saw Wen Ping's back walking downstairs.
Of course there is Ren Yi.
Ren Yi stood outside the door, still a tall and tall figure that could not be ignored.
Ye Nan looked up at him nervously: "What's wrong? Mr. Ren."
Ren Yi took a step back, lowered his eyes and looked in the direction of the floor.
Ye Nan also lowered her head and looked down.
There were several shopping bags on the floor, leaning side by side.
From Ye Nan's perspective, he could see the LOGO on the shopping bag, and he could recognize those expensive men's clothing brands.
A question mark appeared in Ye Nan's eyes.
Ren Yi didn't show off, looked into his eyes, and said in a low voice that could not refuse: "This is for you, to thank you—the gifts for Xiaohu."
The author has something to say: Ren Yi: Don't ask, it means you have money.
