Sky-high ex-wife refuses to remarry

Hearing a little girl call him "Daddy", Qiao Zhanbei's slender and flexible fingers stopped, and the Rubik's Cube in his hand stopped turning.

He froze there, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a little girl walking towards him from the light of the door, her little leather shoes stepping on the floor, making a "click" sound.

It hit his heart one by one.

It's Jojo.

The corners of his mouth raised involuntarily, and when he was about to turn his head, he realized the horrible scar on the left half of his cheek, and his throat was choked.

Will Qiao Qiao be afraid and disappointed when he sees him like this?

The man blinked his eyelids, momentarily at a loss.

Really dad.

Dad is back.

Little Qiaoqiao stood beside Qiao Zhanbei, looking at the Rubik's Cube in his hand with big black and bright eyes.

Sensing Qiao Qiao's gaze, remembering what Ye Mian said before, the little girl has been waiting for him to come back to solve the Rubik's Cube, Qiao Zhan looked at her with sideways eyes.

Only then did he see Qiao Qiao's appearance clearly.

I haven't seen her in seven months. She has grown a lot taller, with a high ponytail and slightly curled hair. She is wearing a dark gray woolen coat, a black and white houndstooth scarf, and has a beautiful oval face with no baby fat.

She put her hands in her coat pockets, looking like a little princess.

Realizing that her attention was on the Rubik's Cube in his hand, he hooked his long fingers and turned it, the Rubik's Cube made a crisp rubbing sound.

With three or two efforts, all six faces of the third-order Rubik's Cube were restored, one face and one color.

Little Qiaoqiao's face was full of admiration at this moment, thinking that her father would still screw it blindly.

"Here." Qiao Zhanbei held the Rubik's Cube in front of Qiao Qiao.

Little Qiaoqiao took the Rubik's Cube, walked around in front of him, lay down on his lap, and raised her face, "My father is better than my mother."

Seeing the scar on her father's other face, she frowned slightly.

Qiao Qiao saw the other half of his ugly face, and Qiao Zhanbei's heart ached.

A faint scent of milk wafted over, and he, who was feeling uncomfortable, looked at Qiao Qiao's little hand and gently stroked the scar on his face.

Like a feather, rub it gently, caressing his pain.

"Dad, does it hurt?" Little Qiaoqiao asked with concern.

In an instant, a warm current surged in Qiao Zhanbei's heart. He looked at the little angel in front of him who was not frightened and cried, but cared about him. He grabbed her and hugged her.

"It's just a small injury, it doesn't hurt." He swallowed the lump in his throat, looking calm and breezy.

Jojo leaned close to her father's face, and she kissed the scar on his cheek.

My mother said that my father was injured by beating bad people, and his legs could not walk anymore. My father is a hero.

Qiao Zhanbei never expected that Mu Qiang's daughter would not dislike the ugliness of his half face or his wheelchair.

"father!"

Ye Mian came in with Nuan Nuan in her arms. Seeing Qiao Zhanbei, the baby in her arms yelled sweetly, and opened her arms towards him, trying to break away from her arms.

Doggy enthusiasm.

Ye Mian put her down, a little over one year old, ran towards the man in the wheelchair.

In the first room on the north side of Qiao Zhan, seeing Ye Mian who hadn't seen him for half a month, he was slightly taken aback, nodded at her, and greeted her with a faint smile on the corner of his lips: "I'm back."

There is no intimacy between lovers, and it is not like the enthusiasm between friends... There is a slight sense of alienation.

"Well, I just brought the two of them back from early education." Ye Mian nodded, and after entering the door, she hung her bag and warm schoolbag on the hanger, and returned to him.

There was no emotion in her tone, Qiao Zhanbei's heart tightened unconsciously, he was instantly attracted by Xiao Nuannuan, and picked up the little person.

Two daughters, one on each side, cling to his arms.

Ye Mian looked at this warm and loving scene, the corners of his mouth slowly turned up, thinking that he finally had the courage to come back and face the whole family.

So what about her?

They haven't seen each other for half a month since the last time they broke up. She was busy with embroidery work with Jiang Xun every day, so she didn't have time to think about him.

According to Song Qiao, he insists on rehabilitating at home for two hours every day, and he is guided by a professional rehabilitation therapist invited by the hospital.

Ancheng also said that he works remotely every day to manage Joe's affairs.

He pulled himself together.

After she took off her coat, she approached the father and daughter, "Qiao Qiao, take off the schoolbag and hang it up for mom."

Little Qiaoqiao grabbed the strap of her backpack, Qiao Zhanbei carefully helped her take off her schoolbag, handed it to Ye Mian, and asked, "They are so young, do they start early education?"

"Early education, there are one-month-old babies in the early education center, not for studying. There are many children and activities there, which help to develop social skills." Ye Mian took the schoolbag and said calmly.

Still no emotion could be discerned in the tone.

Unlike before, she either intentionally got close to him or deliberately stimulated him, but now she is lukewarm towards him.

It was obviously the result he wanted, but seeing her attitude made him very uncomfortable.

"Father, I'm not young!" The well-educated little Qiaoqiao frowned and protested to her father after her parents had finished speaking.

Qiao Zhanbei was taken aback, distracted by his daughter.

The little girl with a bigger fart actually said that she is not young.

After the two children returned home, they were only clinging to their father, and they hadn't washed their hands yet. After a while, Ye Mian called them to wash their hands.

There were only the two of them in the living room.

Ye Mian poured him a glass of water, "Qiao Qiao doesn't like to be told that she is young, she will be very angry."

"Thank you." Qiao Zhanbei took the water glass, thinking of the little girl he wanted to be stronger, with a doting smile on the corner of his mouth, "This little girl."

This was the first time she saw the smile on his face after she found him, a smile from the heart.

Sensing her gaze, the smile on the corner of Qiao Zhanbei's mouth froze, and he remembered his disability again. He lowered his eyes and said softly, "I'll go talk to grandma."

The man left the living room in a wheelchair.

He still avoided her, Ye Mian looked at his back, secretly clenched her hands, enduring the dull pain in her heart.

The feeling of not being able to be together in love is too uncomfortable.

Grandma Qiao and Qiao Zhanbei were basking in the warm sun. The old lady encouraged him not to give up his rehabilitation and encouraged him. Qiao Zhanbei apologized to her and said that he would also actively recover for his family in the future.

"Zhanbei, don't feel inferior in front of Mianmian. Although Mianmian is excellent and dazzling, she has attracted the pursuit of many rich men. I heard that many old nobles from the capital came to the Jin family to ask Marrying Mianmian, I want to marry the Jin family. In Mianmian's studio, the roses from suitors I receive every day are piled up like a mountain, but..."

The old lady Qiao held her grandson's hand, persuading him earnestly, and deliberately provoking him.

Listening to grandma's words, Qiao Zhanbei forgot to breathe. Before he disappeared, he knew that many nobles wanted to propose marriage to the Jin family and marry Ye Mian as his grandson-in-law.

At that time, he was not disfigured or paralyzed, he was as vigorous as her, and he was more confident that she had no fear in her feelings for him.

"However, Mianmian has always been devoted to you. When you were away, she helped you stabilize the company. Now that you are hurt like this, she will never leave you. Zhanbei, you have to think about Mianmian, she needs You, don't shrink back and break her heart. Think carefully, girl Mian, how many crimes have you suffered after marrying you? You were bullied and disfigured by Tong Yaoyao before, and then you divorced her, and then you A woman surnamed Qin came, she was almost wronged and imprisoned, and just after it stopped, you disappeared for half a year..." Mrs. Qiao counted Ye Mian's grievances in detail.

"Mian Mian is too hard for her. Will she dislike your disability? She is like me, as long as you are alive, she will be satisfied. For her sake, let go of your pride and self-esteem, and don't hurt her anymore."

"Grandma, I understand what you said, it's just me..." Qiao Zhanbei lowered his eyes and said in a low voice.

Ye Mian was by the window in the room, quietly listening to their conversation, she went out, behind Grandma Qiao.

"Grandma, don't try to persuade Brother Qiao anymore. We have agreed before that we will get along like relatives in the future and stop being lovers. I have also figured it out. The most important thing for two people to be together is comfort and harmony. If one party compromises , It's all mental exhaustion and mutual torture." She bent over, put her arms on Grandma Qiao's shoulders, smiled, and said calmly.

After saying that, she looked at Qiao Zhanbei at the side generously and naturally, and he happened to be looking at her too.

She really let go.

Qiao Zhanbei was in a daze and couldn't tell what it was like. He secretly grasped his thigh with his hands, and couldn't feel any sensation. He recognized the reality and smiled stiffly, "Grandma, I will continue to use Mianmian Take care of my sister."

The old lady Qiao snorted coldly in her heart, and smiled on her face: "Mianmian, you can let go of this brat, grandma is really happy for you."

"By the way, Nuan Nuan's father, that Mr. Xu, didn't you say that he confessed to you before? I think he is pretty good, gentle and refined, a real gentleman, and he treats the two children as his own. He is a man of great love. The old Gu family next door, Gu Ye is not bad, but these are soldiers who have been in the army all year round and can't take care of their families... Mr. Xu is better, you are still real childhood sweethearts, and grandma supports you in choosing him. "

Xu Mobai confessed to her that Gu Ye had a crush on her for more than ten years...

Listening to his grandma's words, Qiao Zhanbei became nervous, his expression was gloomy, and he didn't say a word.

"Zhanbei, what do you think? Help your sister as a staff officer." The old lady Qiao slapped the back of his hand suddenly, and mocked him. The old lady deliberately emphasized the word "sister".

She doesn't believe this bastard, he can be so magnanimous!

How could Ye Mian not understand Grandma Qiao's thoughts, she was really her own grandma, she said with a smile, "Grandma, I make decisions about my own affairs, and I know what's on my mind."

Listening to Ye Mian's words, Qiao Zhanbei felt much relieved.

If she wanted to be nice to these two, she would have been with them long ago.

Seeing Qiao Zhanbei lost in thought, Ye Mian pursed her lips, patted his shoulder, and asked, "Brother Qiao, are you staying at home tonight? Shall I ask someone to clean up the room for you?"

Qiao Zhanbei came back to his senses, and when she met her grand appearance, she looked at him without attachment or anger, just like an ordinary friend.

He rolled his Adam's apple and nodded, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

"Then tidy up the first floor, it's much more convenient." Ye Mian walked away gracefully while talking.

"Brat, just wait until you regret it! Mianmian is now an independent and mature woman. What she loves the most is herself. If you always push her away, no matter how much she loves you, she will feel bitter. I feel tired." The old lady Qiao didn't treat Qiao Zhanbei as a disabled person, she said bluntly.

Qiao Zhanbei was speechless.

In the evening, Ye Mian went downstairs.

She has wavy hair, delicate light makeup on her face, a black turtleneck sweater, a skirt and a coat.

Delicate from head to toe, it is too beautiful.

"Grandpa, grandma, Brother Qiao, I have an appointment tonight, so I won't be at home for dinner." She looked at the three people in the living room and said with a smile.

Grandpa Qiao nodded repeatedly and said, "Go, go, have fun."

Qiao Zhanbei looked at her, she passed behind him, leaving behind a bewitching scent of beheading men's perfume.

At this time, there was the sound of a car engine at the entrance of the small courtyard. Qiao Zhanbei looked towards the entrance of the courtyard. A Land Rover Grand Cherokee was parked at the entrance. A tall and straight man in a suit and leather shoes got out of the car.

He opened the passenger car door for Ye Mian.

It was too far away, and he couldn't see the other party's appearance clearly.

It wasn't Xu Mobai, and it wasn't even Gu Ye.

Qiao Zhanbei watched the strange man helplessly, holding the top of the car door with one hand, and the gentleman carefully guarded her to get into the car.

This is a man who looks very cultivated.

His heart was stuffy, he lowered his head and looked at his legs, suppressing the sourness and possessiveness with inferiority complex, forcing himself not to think about it.

The more you control, the more you can't help but think, and feel restless.

Obviously he begged her to let go, but now, seeing her start dating other men, he was jealous and painful.

He despised himself fiercely in his heart, and tried his best to resist the urge for people to investigate and follow her and the man.

At 11 o'clock in the middle of the night, there was finally movement outside the gate.

The door light at the gate of the yard was bright as day, the man got out of the car, walked around the front of the car, and opened the passenger door.After a while, Ye Mian got out of the car, holding a bouquet of white roses in her arms, and walked to the door.

Behind the gardenia bushes, when Qiao Zhanbei saw the strange man's face clearly, he was stunned.

At first glance, he thought that the man was himself.

He is about the same size as him, over 185, with wide shoulders, narrow waist and long legs, and the upper half of his face is almost exactly the same as his...

Ye Mian watched Lu Yu's car leave before turning around and entering the gate. Holding flowers, she walked towards the entrance of the small building in a good mood.

Suddenly, a wheelchair drove out from behind a giant gardenia bush, and she was startled.

It was only after he settled down that he realized it was him.

"Brother Qiao, it's so late and you don't sleep, what are you doing in the yard?" Ye Mian looked at the gloomy man and asked knowingly.

Qiao Zhanbei raised his eyes, looked directly at her, and asked, "Who is that man?"

There is no cover-up, it is a straightforward question.

She was dating a man who looked seventy percent like him.

"Brother Qiao, you don't need to worry about who I'm dating. I'm not that underage girl back then." She glanced at him, finished speaking quietly, tossed her hair, and walked into the room.

Hearing what she said, Qiao Zhanbei was relieved from the jealousy.

He said it himself, he regarded her as his younger sister...
