After divorce, the president of a vegetative state got married in a flash and gave birth to three ba

Xiao Miaomiao was naturally not a stupid person. When she heard the other party say such words, she couldn't help feeling embarrassed.

She quickly glanced at Li Jingcheng and happened to catch his half-smile. In an instant, she felt guilty.

She remembered that before leaving, she had solemnly emphasized to Li Jingcheng repeatedly that she and Luo Ran were just ordinary classmates and there was absolutely no other extraordinary emotional entanglement.

But the current situation is undoubtedly a slap in his face.

"Thank...thank you." Xiao Miaomiao forced a smile, her voice slightly embarrassed.

At this time, Li Jingcheng smiled and hugged his son tightly in his arms, and handed the mobile phone in his hand to Luo Ran, asking him to help take a family photo.

What was displayed on the phone screen was a heartwarming photo of Xiao Miaomiao and the children. On one side of the photo, the word "treasure" was written in eye-catching fonts.

Yes, with three such lovely children, how can you not treat them as treasures?

Faced with this request, although Luo Ran felt very upset, he still silently took the phone and took this precious photo for them.

The family of five in the camera has a happy smile on everyone's face, and they look so harmonious and happy.

Looking at this picture, Luo Ran couldn't help but sigh inwardly: If I had been able to muster up the courage to pursue her bravely back then, perhaps I would be the one standing beside Xiao Miaomiao at this moment, enjoying this family happiness.

Unfortunately, life is often like this. Sometimes, just being a small step late is enough to make you miss out on the beauty of your life and become an eternal regret.

After being called softly by her second senior brother, Xiao Miaomiao had no choice but to turn around and walk towards him. Before leaving, she nodded slightly to Luo Ran with a hint of apology, and then left in a hurry.

At this time, Li Jingcheng naturally took the phone from Luo Ran, his eyes fell on the photo displayed on the screen, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, and he nodded gently to express his approval and appreciation: "Thank you!"

Luo Ran, holding his mobile phone, stared at Li Jingcheng intently, and said solemnly and sincerely: "You're welcome. Miaomiao is really very good and outstanding."

"I hope you can treat her well, otherwise I will be very unhappy!" He paused and added, "To be honest, if you let her be wronged or hurt one day, I might snatch her away from you."

After he finished speaking, Luo Ran's eyes were full of seriousness and determination.

Hearing this, Li Jingcheng was stunned at first, but soon recovered and responded seriously: "Don't worry, I will never give you such an opportunity."

"But to be honest, I am a little jealous of the time you were able to spend with her as a classmate."

"But at the same time, I feel lucky because you didn't pursue her at that time. So I still want to thank you for taking good care of her during those days."

After saying that, Li Jingcheng looked straight at Luo Ran, as if he wanted to see deeper emotions through the other's eyes.

After hearing this, Luo Ran couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, then heaved a long sigh: "If time could go back and everything could start over again, I would definitely not leave any regrets for myself."

"In fact, I have missed her twice. The first time was when I graduated. If I had been braver and taken the initiative to pursue her, maybe she would not have rashly chosen to marry Hong Wenbin, that scumbag, because she was eager to get rid of the Xiao family."

At this moment, Luo Ran's heart was filled with regret and self-blame. The past came to his mind like a tide, and he could not let it go for a long time.

Another time, after she ended her marriage, he didn't get any news about it at all!

In the end, she chose Li Jingcheng instead of him.

You know, he always felt that he was the one who was more likely to be with her.

Thinking of this, Luo Ran couldn't help but feel a deep sense of loss. He murmured to himself, "Alas... I really didn't expect it to be like this."

Li Jingcheng, who was standing aside, nodded slightly, indicating that he agreed with what Luo Ran said.

Indeed, to a certain extent, if Luo Ran had been able to seize the opportunity at the beginning, perhaps he would be the one with Xiao Miaomiao now.

However, things have come to this point, and nothing can be changed. Li Jingcheng continued with a serious face: "It is indeed you who missed a good opportunity, and since you have missed it, from now on, I will never give you any chance again."

"Sometimes, the meeting and separation between people can only be explained by fate. Maybe there is a lack of that destined fate between you and Miaomiao."

Hearing this, Luo Ran pondered silently in his heart.

Is it really as he said, that Miaomiao and I are just not destined to be together?

Once this thought emerged, it spread wildly in his mind like weeds.

At this moment, a childish voice suddenly sounded: "Dad, Mom, I want to find Mom."

It turned out that Dabao was shouting and looking around for his mother.

Li Jingcheng quickly lowered his head, gently kissed Dabao's rosy cheek, and whispered to comfort him: "Okay, baby, Daddy will take you to find mommy right away."

After saying that, he turned to look at Luo Ran and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, the child misses her mother. We have to go first."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Jingcheng picked up Dabao and Erbao skillfully, then turned around and left with firm steps, walking towards the direction where Xiao Miaomiao was.

Luo Ran stood there quietly, watching them go further and further away.

Seeing Li Jingcheng holding two chubby and adorable little ones in his arms without seeming to be struggling at all, Luo Ran couldn't help but reveal a hint of envy in his eyes.

"Just take it easy! If your teacher hadn't mentioned it by chance, I would never have told Miaomiao that you were here."

"What was the result? As soon as Li Jingcheng heard that you were here, he rushed here with his family to declare sovereignty!" Liao Xingye glanced at Luo Ran, who was standing beside him with a dejected look on his face, and shook his head helplessly.

"I have to admit that Jingcheng is right. You and Miaomiao are destined not to be together. Stop thinking about Miaomiao so much. Her child is already one year old." Liao Xingye patted Luo Ran's shoulder gently and advised him earnestly.

"Brother Liao, speaking of our friendship, I am closer to you than Li Jingcheng. Why are you leaning towards him now?" Luo Ran asked with a feeling of grievance, his eyes slightly red, and a slightly choked voice.

Liao Xingye just smiled, scratched his head and explained: "Well, to be honest, I have my eyes on those three pretty little models, but Miaomiao firmly forbids me to have any ideas about them."

"I had no choice but to curry favor with Li Jingcheng. Look, I was the one who told him about your being here."

After hearing this, Luo Ran was stunned at first, then he couldn't help but laugh bitterly. He felt mixed emotions and didn't know what to feel.

On the other hand, Xiao Miaomiao had no interest in the competition, but seeing that Leng Yichen was eager to try and determined to win, she took great pains to look for a suitable track for him to participate.

Among these many voices, there are naturally explorations into Leng Yichen's original intention for participating in the competition and various discussions.

When people learned that Leng Yichen had joined this intense competition just for the medal and generous prize money, there was a commotion in the crowd.

Inevitably, those jealous people began to take the opportunity to spread bad things about Yichen.

However, in the face of these gossips, Leng Yichen behaved extremely calmly and composedly, as if the outside noise had nothing to do with him.

Some even assert that someone like Leng Yichen, who only cares about money and honor, will not go far on the path of art.

But the fact is quite the opposite. As time goes by, Leng Yichen's works are better than the last. Not only are they more lively and full of unique charm, but his exquisite skills are even more amazing.

Although many people still disdain Leng Yichen's enthusiasm for pursuing wealth, they have to admit that countless people are still flocking to and competing for his masterpieces.

Not to mention those people who stood behind Leng Yichen and silently supported him. Even if they were dissatisfied in their hearts, they only dared to whisper in private and had no courage to make these remarks public.

After all, the award host who was the first to ask Leng Yichen about his motivation for participating in the competition and mercilessly ridiculed him for reeking of money is now down and out and has trouble even gaining a foothold in the industry.

Was the host wronged? Not at all, he just wanted to create a gimmick, and he mocked Yichen without even asking why.

Xiao Miaomiao had seen all the sacrifices that Yichen had made, so how could she tolerate him speaking like that about Yichen?

In addition, because Yichen is autistic, she felt distressed just watching him being pointed at like that on the stage. Even though Yichen was not sad, she felt distressed just watching him.

After everyone discussed, Leng Yichen decided to donate one third of the reward to help children with autism who need help like Yichen, and he would distribute the remaining two thirds himself.

This year, I participated in more than a dozen large-scale painting competitions, with a prize money of nearly one million, but one-third of it was donated free of charge.

Xiao Miaomiao didn't think that there was anything wrong with Leng Yichen going for the prize money. If Yichen wasn't going for the prize money, why would he participate in the competition?

He never needs to prove anything to others for his excellence.

"Teacher, I am not wrong. I will continue to participate in competitions and earn more money." The second brother said that a lot of dowry would be needed to marry Xiaobao.

Leng Yichen doesn't think that this conflicts with his love for painting and his desire to make money. What he likes to do can bring him happiness and financial satisfaction, so he doesn't care what others say.
