paw pads were tickling his heart, making it itch; or like the warm spring breeze melting the ice of his cold heart. 。He almost couldn't help but pull her into his arms. 。Thinking of the little light...Chapter 111 It Turns Out She Was Quite Sentimental When She Was Little
An Xiaotu's face darkened, her mother's thinking was rather peculiar.
But she still patiently said, "Mom, do you think why I would abandon Yucheng for another man He's handsome, rich and powerful, and he treats me so well. There's definitely no better man than him in the world. I'm not crazy, giving up a good life to run away with another man. I just want to figure some things out, they're very important to me."
"I guess you don't have the guts either." An Mother's emotions calmed down, and she continued, "That was a boy we met when we were still in City A. He was probably ten years older than you, tall and quiet. I don't know how you met that boy, but you would run after him every day, even shouting that you wanted him to marry you someday. But he never agreed, and you cried for days because of it. After crying enough, you still kept running after him. That boy must have been the one you cared about the most."
Is he about ten years older than her Yu Cheng is eight years older than her, which is basically in line.
He doesn't talk much, which is pretty much accurate.
But the boy rejected her, while Yu Cheng told her he agreed to marry her.
"Then, Mom, do you remember the boy's name"
“I don’t know his last name. His name is Ruicheng, ‘Ruizhi’s wisdom’. When you were little, you kept calling him ‘Ruicheng gege’, ‘Ruicheng gege’, it drove me crazy. Your notebooks were filled with that boy’s name, and I even got called in for a parent-teacher conference because of it.” An Xiaotu recalled her daughter’s lively, mischievous, and somewhat fierce demeanor when she was young, feeling a pang of nostalgia.
After leaving her family home, she hadn't gotten pregnant with her daughter yet. She and her husband went to City A, and they didn't return to North Star City until their daughter was about to start elementary school.
North City was a strange environment for the daughter. At that time, she and her husband were focused on settling down, somewhat neglecting their daughter, which caused her lively personality to gradually become quieter, even slightly withdrawn, until she met Ya Bai, and slowly became cheerful again.
Oh, so she was quite infatuated in her childhood too, An Xiaotu nodded thoughtfully.
It's just that 'Ruicheng' and 'Yucheng' sound very similar... "Mom, is my kindergarten workbook still here"
She wondered if it was because she mispronounced 'Yu Cheng', saying it as 'Rui Cheng', that her mother had misunderstood.
However, City A and Beis city are ten thousand eight hundred miles apart, and Tang Yucheng is a native of Beis city...
"You're such a strange child."
An mother glared at her coquettishly, but still got up and went to the study to find it for her.
About ten minutes later.
A mother took an old textbook back to the living room.
Only this textbook is left. Those notebooks are too old and I didn't clean them regularly, so they gradually became worn out and were thrown away.
"Mom, thank you! I'm going back to my room now."
An Xiaotu took the book from her mother, received a kiss on her cheek, and ran back to her room.
"This child..."
Mother An touched her cheek, a smile blooming at the corner of her lips, her eyes filled with doting affection and helplessness.
An Xiaotu returned to her room and locked the door. She lay on the bed, flipping through her kindergarten textbook. When she opened the first page, beneath her name were four carefully written characters, "Ruicheng Brother," in a childish yet neat script.
She let out a sigh of disappointment. If her speech was unclear, one could perhaps interpret it as her mispronouncing "Yucheng" as "Ruicheng." But looking at the handwriting, she was still a preschooler at that time. How could she possibly understand such complex characters, let alone write "Yu" as "Rui"
It seems that it's really not Tang Yucheng...
Ah! She really wanted to know how she and he had met, but the aloof man coldly said, 'Think about things you've forgotten yourself,' leaving her with no way to ask.
If it wasn't kindergarten, then it was about her going back to North City. It had been over a decade; there was no way she could still remember, let alone recall it.
……
The next day, An Xiaotu went back to R University to work and gradually made up for the classes she had missed.
Because of the dispute over the share transfer agreement at the hospital before, An Pingting's attitude towards her had turned cold, and she wasn't as close as usual.
She knew An Pingtong still held a grudge about the shares, even though Old Man An hadn't officially announced that he was transferring them to her name.
After school, she put the agreement that An Pingting had given her earlier and which she had temporarily placed in her drawer into her bag. She planned to find a lawyer to take a look at it. If there were no problems, she would sign it and then give it back to An Pingting.
Just as I stepped out of the subway and was about to head home, An Pingting unexpectedly called me.
An Xiaotu hesitated for a moment and called out uncertainly, "Teacher Pingting Is there something you need"
"Teacher An, I've reflected on what happened at the hospital these past few days and feel that my attitude was a bit sharp and unkind. And you are right in your considerations. I apologize to you." An Pingtong spoke in a gentle and elegant tone, with a hint of humility in her smile.
"I was also wrong about the agreement. I promised to keep it a secret but I didn't. Thank you, Teacher Tingting, for not holding it against me." An Xiaotu said apologetically.
Pressed down on the handbag in her hand, she decided to take pictures of the agreement tonight and send it to Tang Yucheng so he could have his lawyer look at it. If there were no problems, she would sign the agreement and give it to An Pingtong tomorrow.
"I want to treat Teacher An to dinner tonight, as an apology; besides, since we found out we were cousins, we haven't had a meal together yet..." Without giving An Xiaotui a chance to refuse, An Pinting continued, "Teacher An, I have something to take care of right now. I'll text you the hotel address. Come over quickly, I've already reserved a table and am waiting for you."
After finishing the call, he hung up.
Soon, a text message came in. An Xiaotu opened it and saw the address and name of the hotel. She recognized it as a very high-end hotel in Beisi City.
After some thought, she called her parents to tell them she wouldn't be home for dinner tonight and would be eating out with friends.
Then he hailed a taxi and rushed to the hotel.
The car stopped in the square outside the hotel. As soon as they got out, they saw An Pingtong's tall and graceful figure waving at them from afar.
An Pingtong took a few steps forward and affectionately hooked her arm with An Xiaotu's, saying with an apologetic smile, "I'm sorry, I had something to deal with just now. I didn't have time to tell you the details on the phone, and I didn't ask if you agreed. I was also worried that you were still angry with me about the hospital and wouldn't come."
"No, no, I'm not angry with Teacher Pingting, just a little surprised." An Xiaotu hurriedly waved her hand, saying somewhat flattered.
Before she was in the hospital, the two of them had a falling out and she thought it would last forever, turning into a situation where they were strangers. But unexpectedly, An Pingtong took the initiative to be nice to her again.
"That's good then." An Pingtong slanted her delicate eyes at her, a hint of deep and chilling malice flashing in her gaze...d hadn't shown any hospitality as a host. 。Finally, let Lu Yin reflect in the guest room for the next week. 。Lu Yin reluctantly agreed with a face full of unwillingness. 。But at night, after dinner,...
