Stealing the moonlight into my arms

This was the first time Xiao Yanting entered Fu Runing's house.

After getting off the car, he stopped in the yard and looked at the surrounding structures and scenery, which gradually overlapped with the scenes he had heard from Fu Runing when he was young.

This is the old villa area of ​​Shengzhou City, and it was the preferred location for businessmen who made their fortunes as wholesalers in the early years.

Fu Runing came back from sending Chu Yi off. She didn't know what Xiao Yanting was looking at, so she walked over and teased, "You've been looking at me for so long. Do you like my house?"

Xiao Yanting hummed lightly, expressing his affirmation: "I like it."

"I told you not to come to my house before. I invited you several times, but you refused every time."

Fu Runing recalled that she and Xiao Yanting had a good relationship when they were classmates.

Xiao Yanting chuckled and asked, "Were your motives pure when you invited me to your house?"

Fu Runing thought for a moment, "Why is it not pure?"

"Think again."

As she listened to the man's words, her eyes gradually became guilty.

Now I remember that she would always invite the female classmates who liked Xiao Yanting to her home as guests, and then ask him to come over, although he never went once.

But it was this kind of behavior that made Fu Runing very popular with girls during those three years. Not only did no one target her, but they all tried to please her in various ways.

"Oh, then you didn't come. It's all old news."

Xiao Yanting was not bringing up old grudges with her. His eyes were attracted by a small tree in the yard.

He asked curiously, "Why is this tree so small?"

"Oh, this was planted when Luo Luo first came to my house. My second uncle learned this custom from somewhere, that is, to plant a tree when a new child is born in the family."

Xiao Yanting said in an unclear tone, "Does my brother also own a tree like this in your house?"

Fu Runing lowered her eyes slightly, then raised her hand and pointed at another tree.

"This is it."

It was a maple tree that Xiao Jingting had planted at her house when he was fifteen years old. It had been thirteen years now.

Xiao Yanting looked at it for a while, and said with regret: "I really should have come to your house earlier."

The two walked around the yard for a while and then went into the house.

Xiao Yanting had lunch at her house and then left.

After the guests left, Fu Runing helped her second aunt clean up the dishes.

She felt strange. In the past, whenever someone came to their house, her second uncle would chat with them for a long time. But today, he was much more restrained. He just invited them to dinner and didn't say anything extra.

Fu Runing refilled his uncle's tall glass with Coke and jokingly said, "Comrade Fu Jinbei, did you take some mute medicine today? Why are you so quiet?"

Fu Jinbei glanced at her and pointed at his cup, "Add some ice."

"Okay, just drink it like this. Don't drink it cold. You're already old."

My second uncle is always a person who keeps up with the times. He always puts Coke in a tall glass and adds ice cubes.

Fu Jinbei pulled Fu Runing over and asked in a low voice, "You and your brother-in-law have a very good relationship."

Fu Runing thought for a moment, "We knew each other before, but we haven't seen each other for a long time. We are colleagues now, right?"

"Listen to your second uncle, don't be his colleague, stay away from him."

Fu Runing was a little surprised when she heard Fu Jinbei's sudden serious expression.

"Ah, why?"

Fu Jinbei said, "No reason, it's just my intuition. My brother-in-law and sister-in-law are already intimate, and you two are former classmates. Don't you know how to avoid suspicion when you're in such a situation?"

Fu Runing thought about how the old lady had asked her to ease the relationship between the two brothers of the Xiao family a few days ago, and now her second uncle was asking her to stay away from Xiao Yanting...

"Why do you all feel like there will be problems with these two brothers in the future?"

Fu Jinbei looked at her calmly, "If they can live in peace in the future, I will take your surname."

"Tsk, you're talking as if you didn't say anything." Fu Runing ignored him and confiscated his Coke bottle. "Don't drink it anymore. Watch your blood sugar."

Fu Zhangnan naturally heard their conversation and said, "I think this kid is okay. He's polite and cheerful."

Fu Jinbei said angrily, "Who do you think is not a good child? Everyone is good in your eyes."

Fu Zhangnan argued: "It's normal for people to have some shortcomings. It's related to the environment they were born in and the environment they grew up in. But people can make some changes in certain environments. There's no need to be so sure."

"Alright, alright, you've been educated and you're full of sense. I can't argue with you."

After saying that, Fu Jinbei turned to look at Fu Runing and said, "Remember what your second uncle told you. Jingting is a member of our family. You can't turn your elbow outward."

"Yeah." Fu Runing responded perfunctorily.

"Jingting, what's up today? Didn't you say you'd come back for dinner?"

Fu Runing was unsure, "It's probably about work."

Fu Jinbei didn't react much after hearing this and just let it go.

Fu Zhangnan noticed his daughter's emotional changes.

He always felt that Fu Runing seemed to be worried recently, although she hid it well.

But as a father, can’t he tell whether his daughter is happy or not?

……

Xiao Jingting did not come back the next day.

On the third day, Fu Runing got news about him.

It's just that the occasion to get the news from him was not right.

Yusong Media held a routine meeting in the morning. After everyone left, Xiao Yanting showed Fu Runing something.

He said: "A paparazzi sent it to me yesterday."

Fu Runing felt that this was probably not a good thing. She clicked on the file and saw the high-definition photos inside.

Two people can be clearly seen in the photo, Rong Ruo and the man standing next to her.

The man in the photo was Xiao Jingting, who told her that he had something urgent to do.

The scene behind them looks like a residential complex. They leave the parking lot together and enter the elevator together. It looks very lifelike.

Fu Runing's expression didn't change much as she looked through the photos one by one.

Xiao Yanting explained: "Rong Ruo and I are still in the process of terminating our contract, so the paparazzi sent us the information about her."

"Has this news been leaked?" Fu Runing's tone was calm.

"They sent it to us just to ask for money, so of course they wouldn't be stupid enough to send it out now." At this point, Xiao Yanting paused, "Besides, the people in the photos can't be leaked either."

Xiao Jingting's face was photographed from the front, and it was a high-definition picture.

Xiao Yanting continued, "I don't know what the relationship between Big Brother and her is, so I showed this to you first. You can also ask Big Brother first to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings."

Fu Runing was silent for a moment, then calmly said, "Let the PR department and legal department handle it. There's no misunderstanding, and there's nothing wrong between them."

Xiao Yanting agreed, "Okay."

Fu Runing sent the photo to her email. Her expression did not seem abnormal. She returned to her workstation to deal with today's affairs.

She continued to do what she was supposed to do, as if this little episode had not affected her mood at all.

Just like she said to Xiao Yanting, they were nothing.

There is nothing wrong with Xiao Jingting and Rong Ruo.

That's what she told others.

This calm mood lasted until Fu Runing got off work.

Before leaving get off work, she received a call from Xiao Jingting.

There was a hint of fatigue in the man's voice, but his tone was calm and patient. He asked her what she wanted to eat tonight.

Fu Runing's tone was even calmer than his, "I'll go home first, and we'll talk when I get home."

"it is good."

Fu Runing drove to Xishan Bay Villa.

It was another gloomy rainy day and the ground was still wet.

She gripped the steering wheel so tightly that her fingertips turned white.

Xiao Jingting, I will only give you one last chance.
