Stealing the moonlight into my arms

Fu Runing watched Xiao Jingting go downstairs.

From behind, Xiao Jingting's pace was faster than usual.

He seemed to be in a hurry to escape from this place.

Suddenly a figure jumped out and stopped Xiao Jingting. It was the cat that was supposed to be in his car.

At this time, he appeared in Fu Runing's house so freely and casually.

Xiao Jingting stared at the cat for a moment, and the irritation between his brows became even more intense.

Fu Runing picked up Xiaoliu before he could move, seizing the initiative.

"Xiao Jingting, there's no such thing as taking things away from my house. Once they arrive at my house, they become part of my family name. You can't go back on your word and take them away. As a man, you need to be trustworthy!"

Xiaoliu lay on Fu Runing's arm, looking up at Xiao Jingting with his head raised, but because the hostess was stroking his head, he was making a comfortable gurgling sound.

Xiao Jingting's thoughts were still confused at the moment. He would not blindly argue anything, but just said calmly: "It's up to you. If you want to adopt it, you should give it back to me."

Fu Runing looked at his poker face and didn't want to say anything.

It took a lot of effort to coax his brother to sleep before he could bring him back. What if he gets irritated by a few words he says, and then the two of them have to take turns?

"Okay, I'm raising him now, please do as you please."

Fu Runing held Xiaoliu in her arms and made a gesture of invitation, signaling him to leave.

Xiao Jingting's eyes darkened slightly, and his gaze on her face was deep and complicated, and then he turned and left.

Fu Runing followed him closely, fearing that he would cause trouble in her house before he even left.

The man looked at the car parked in the Fu family's yard.

There were obvious signs of a rear-end collision on the front of the car, and he recalled what happened on the road.

It was just a small rear-end collision, and he just felt tinnitus at the time, and then that person appeared.

Xiao Jingting didn't know what this meant. Did he overestimate his willpower or underestimate the strength of that mental power?

That person seemed to have stronger willpower than him.

Look for every opportunity to steal his body and control his behavior.

This feeling of being out of control made his face even darker and colder.

The man clenched his fingers at his sides, revealing the veins on the back of his hands.

However, at this moment, he heard Fu Runing's voice beside him -

She said in a tone that was neither gloating nor full of mirth: "Ah, how come you got into a car accident again? It looks like you rear-ended the car. This is all your fault. You're an experienced driver, and you rear-ended the car during work hours. If you can't drive, why don't you just hire a driver?"

This voice brought Xiao Jingting back to his senses.

"It was just a minor accident." He said lightly.

He is very frugal with words and doesn't want to say a single word more.

Fu Runing stared at his profile, stroking Xiaoliu's fur with her fingers, and said half-jokingly, "Xiao Jingting, are you suffering from neurasthenia due to lack of sleep? If you have this problem, I think you should go to the hospital as soon as possible. Otherwise, you look like this and people will think that your divorce is over."

Xiao Jingting turned sideways, ignored her words, opened the car door and got in.

Fu Runing rolled her eyes in her heart.

This psychopath can't tell the difference between good and bad words now. It's a waste of time to talk to him.

Xiao Jingting started the car and was about to drive out of the Fu family villa.

Glancing to the side, I saw a woman walking out of the small yard next to the fence.

His grip on the steering wheel inexplicably tightened a little.

Fu Runing also saw the woman and waved to her across the fence.

"Aunt Su, good morning! Would you like to come to my house and play?"

As she spoke, she walked quickly to the door and opened it.

Su Qing walked out of her house and stepped into the Fu family yard.

The woman was wearing a soft beige outfit, and her overall style was both gentle and elegant. There were some traces of time in the corners of her eyes, but it still couldn't hide her beauty.

"Ningning, I just saw someone in your yard. Are there any friends coming?"

Su Qing's eyes were fixed on the black car.

Fu Runing glanced at him and said, "Well, they're not friends, but they're my family."

"Who is it?" Su Qing asked with a smile.

Fu Runing frowned and looked back at the car with its door closed.

How do you explain this?

Xiao Jingting didn't seem to be planning to get off the car either.

But looking at Su Qing, he still had a smile on his face, as if he was waiting for her answer.

So Fu Runing lowered her voice somewhat embarrassedly and said, "My ex-husband."

Hearing this, Su Qing's expression became strange for a moment, and her eyelashes trembled slightly.

Fu Runing thought she was shocked that her divorced ex-husband could come and go so freely, so she quickly explained, "Aunt Su, it's like this. My ex-husband and my family have a complicated relationship. He used to live in my house and was considered my father's adopted son, so now I treat him as my brother again."

This relationship is not complicated to explain, but it is a bit outrageous.

This is why even if there is no blood relationship, the general world does not accept pseudo-siblings falling in love and getting married, whether they are adopted children or the children of a couple who got married later in life.

Although it is most likely that brothers and sisters who live under the same roof and are not related by blood will develop different feelings, the awkward problem lies here. If the relationship breaks up or something goes wrong in the future, the adults will be the ones who are most affected...

Who will be helping then?

Both of them felt embarrassed.

But Fu Runing felt it was okay, at least her father was on her side, and as for her second uncle... never mind him.

But what is more worrying to her now than all these is her ex-husband's mental state.

Su Qing's expression returned to normal, and she smiled awkwardly, "A Yan seemed to have told me about this. Your father is a good man."

"Of course, my father is very kind-hearted."

When Fu Runing mentioned her father, her face was filled with pride and honor that was hard to conceal.

After saying that, Fu Runing glanced at the car again.

It’s strange. We’ve been talking for quite a while, why hasn’t Xiao Jingting left yet?

Just when she was about to urge him, the car door opened and the man got out.

Xiao Jingting was tall. He walked step by step in front of the two of them. He stood in the light, but his eyes were dark and could not be penetrated by the sunlight.

Su Qing's gaze towards Xiao Jingting was somewhat frozen. She looked at Fu Runing, as if seeking her introduction.

Fu Runing gave the man an annoyed look. Why did you come down? Why don’t you leave quickly?

So she had to start introducing: "Aunt Su, this is my...brother. He and I have a different last name. His name is..."

However, before he could finish his words, Xiao Jingting extended his hand to the woman: "Hello."

Su Qing shook hands with him politely and introduced herself: "Hello, I am the family of Ning Ning's next-door neighbor."

Xiao Jingting said calmly, "Feng Yan lives alone. I've met his grandfather, but not his mother. May I ask who you are?"

The two people's clasped hands separated.

Su Qing looked into the man's deep eyes and explained calmly, "I am his stepmother. I was not in Shengzhou City before, and I have only been living here recently."

Xiao Jingting nodded and didn't ask any further questions.

"Feng Yan's family should have arranged a marriage for him when he reached that age. I have a younger sister, and I heard that both families are interested in bringing them together."

The man's voice was calm, and no emotion could be heard.

Su Qing looked a little embarrassed. "I don't know about that. I can't make the decision on A Yan's marriage."

Fu Runing poked Xiao Jingting with her elbow and gave him a look of disapproval.

What is he doing?

Talking about Feng Yan’s marriage in front of his stepmother?

Feng Yan's mother is still alive, and he still takes his mother's surname. His grandfather's family is a wealthy and prominent family.

Anyone who knows how to chat would not say this in front of someone's stepmother.

Xiao Jingting didn't say anything else, and said calmly: "You guys chat, I have something to do and I'll leave first."

After saying that, he got back into the car and drove away.

After his car completely disappeared in the yard, Fu Runing gently stroked Xiaoliu in her arms. She seemed to have tasted some of the flavor.

He deliberately mentioned Feng Yan's marriage and his sister Xiao Qinrui.

This means that Feng Yan's marriage is most likely a marriage of arrangement, and it is decided by her grandfather's family, so don't mess with her?

Did he think that Su Qing was getting close to her in order to be a matchmaker for her stepson?

baffling.

He became sensitive when he shouldn't have been.

Fu Runing turned around and smiled at Su Qing: "Aunt Su, don't mind it, my ex-husband is just like that, he doesn't speak."

Su Qing's complexion has returned to normal, and there is nothing unusual about it.

But the young face just now still lingered in her mind for a long time, and could not be shaken off.

Su Qing smiled and said, "I think this kid seems to be reluctant to leave you. He is afraid that I will be a matchmaker for A Yan, so he deliberately mentioned this. His thoughts are quite obvious."

Fu Runing pretended not to understand, "What are you talking about? Brother Feng Yan and I are neighbors. We have a pure neighborly relationship. What's the point of matchmaking?"

Su Qing just smiled and said nothing.

Fu Runing breathed a sigh of relief.

The relationship between men and women is sometimes very subtle. She always felt that Brother Feng Yan was a very good person and very sensible.

Before she got divorced, Feng Yan had always been a gentleman. Sending things to her house was just based on the most basic neighborly etiquette. When they met, they just said hello and would never cross the line.

But since her divorce, in just a few days, Feng Yan would send her messages from time to time. He didn't even ask her out for dinner in the old-fashioned way, but instead sent her messages about children's playgrounds and technology exhibitions, asking her if she wanted to bring Xu Luo along.

Twenty-year-old Fu Runing might not understand this kind of roundabout thinking, but she is twenty-five.

But to be honest, she really didn't want to touch this thing again in the short term.

Just pretend you don’t understand.

Su Qing saw the kitten in Fu Runing's arms, so she changed the subject.

"You're such a cute little kitten."

Fu Runing picked up Xiaoliu and showed it to Su Qing. "Yes, it was given to me by my ex-husband. What a unique gift. Others gave gold or jade, but he gave a living one. And not just one, but three."

Su Qing smiled faintly, "That's really quite creative. Your house is almost like a zoo."

Su Qing thought about it, and suddenly asked tentatively: "Can you give me one?"

Fu Runing was a little conflicted. She had indeed been planning to adopt the cat, but she had just had an argument with Xiao Jingting about the cat that morning.

Although she didn't know what the trigger point between him and Xiao Ting was, she really didn't dare to provoke him casually.

After all, if she released Xiao Ting after provoking Xiao Jingting, she would be in trouble again.

After all, it's already troublesome now.

"No, this is my ex-husband's child. If I give him away, he will quarrel with me."

Su Qing was stunned for a moment, then smiled apologetically.

"That's it, then forget it."
