Stealing the moonlight into my arms

Xiao Jingting had a very good memory, so he naturally remembered whose car the door belonged to.

He had met Feng Yan only a few times, but the name Feng Yan was everywhere in his memory.

On the first day he moved into the Fu family, he knew about the existence of such a person.

He is the playmate of the Fu siblings, their good neighbor brother, and the little brother that Fu Runing likes.

And Fu Shaoheng's joke, asking his sister not to be sad about Feng Yan moving away, and asking her to divert her attention.

As luck would have it, he heard those words clearly.

He was angry with himself for a long time because of that sentence.

Now that I think about it, they were all just his excuses.

It was just his paranoid and dark self-esteem that was at work.

A twelve-year-old girl, do you know what love is?

But he was fifteen years old at that time and didn't understand either.

Xiao Jingting remembered what the psychologist had said to him: it is human nature to have desires and they cannot be suppressed blindly.

He adjusted his mood and walked straight to the gate of the villa.

The Fu family's biometric lock has not been replaced yet and is still open to him. He only needs to scan his face and the door lock will be unlocked.

Xiao Jingting's appearance instantly silenced the talking in the living room.

Everyone looked over at once.

Obviously no one could have imagined that Xiao Jingting would come back at this critical juncture.

Even Fu Jinbei himself had forgotten about this matter.

Fu Runing was the first to show an embarrassed look. She looked at Xiao Jingting quickly and carefully from a distance.

And he was eager to know whether he was Xiao Jingting or Xiaoting now.

Feng Yan also cast a glance at the uninvited guest, silent and expressionless.

Suddenly, Su Qing lost hold of the teacup in her hand and it fell onto the coffee table with a crisp sound, splashing tea all over her hand. She immediately came to her senses and steadied herself without making any more noise.

As the youngest and most polite child in the family, Xu Luo was the first to greet Xiao Jingting: "Uncle Jingting."

Xu Luo felt that he didn't look very approachable now and didn't smile, so he listened to Ning Ning's mother and called him uncle now.

Xiao Jingting walked in front of the crowd with a natural expression. His handsome and noble face made him appear to be in no way inferior even in this isolated state.

He nodded to the little girl, acknowledging her greeting.

Then Xiao Jingting looked at Fu Zhangnan.

He took the initiative to explain his purpose: "Dad, my second uncle told me that the surveillance system at home has not been upgraded yet, so he asked me to come over and take a look."

As soon as Fu Runing heard the tone of the voice, she was 100% sure that this person was Xiao Jingting.

So she glared at her second uncle.

Do we have to set up surveillance now? Why call him back?

Fu Zhangnan didn't react much after hearing this. He just nodded without expressing his opinion.

He also looked at Fu Jinbei.

Fu Jinbei, whose name was mentioned, seemed to have forgotten about this matter under Feng Yan's sugar-coated bullets. At this moment, he reached out and scratched his ear, but this was a small matter for him.

He waved his hand and said cheerfully, "Yeah, isn't the surveillance in this house always unsatisfactory? Jingting knows this anyway. I mentioned it to him today. Who knew that this kid actually listened to me and is so proactive in doing things."

Fu Jinbei rubbed his hands and said, "Well, Jingting, we have guests at home today. You should stay with them first and then check the system after dinner."

Xiao Jingting said in a light voice: "No need, that matter won't take long, I won't bother you."

"This child..." Fu Jinbei was at a loss for words.

Not to mention Fu Jinbei, Fu Runing doesn’t know how to do it either.

He said this and turned to leave.

Fu Zhangnan called him at the right time, "A Zheng, let's talk about it after dinner. It won't take that long."

Only then did Xiao Jingting relax his brows, his face became handsome and his expression calm.

"Thanks dad."

Fu Zhangnan nodded casually.

He then explained to Su Qing and Feng Yan, "This is my adopted son, and now he is Ning Ning's brother."

Everyone present knew the relationship between Xiao Jingting and Fu Runing, and Fu Zhangnan's statement was clever and kept them in a decent manner.

Feng Yan extended his hand to him, "Hello, I've heard a lot about you."

When Feng Yan returned to China, Xiao Jingting met him for the first time. When they shook hands, Xiao Jingting just said to him, "I've long admired you."

Xiao Jingting shook hands with him, and when their eyes met, both of them looked at each other without any concealment.

He said calmly, "I've known you for longer."

Feng Yan raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Really? What did Ning Ning say about me?"

Xiao Jingting said lightly: "She loves to carve wood carvings, and she never forgets to send her gifts when she is abroad."

Feng Yan's expression changed for a moment. He concealed it well, but Xiao Jingting, who was sitting opposite him, caught it in time.

"I did carve for Ningning before, but it wasn't very good."

Feng Yan also used the same rhetoric as before.

However, this has to be further divided into the first few years and the last thirteen years.

The two men separated their clasped hands, and Xiao Jingting's brows relaxed even more.

Feng Yan changed the subject, "If Ningning likes wood carving, I can learn more from my mother."

Xiao Jingting glanced at Su Qing who was sitting on the sofa, his eyes dimmed slightly, and he looked away again.

This was the second time he had seen this woman, and every time he saw her, he felt uncomfortable.

It's like an intuition.

He was thinking, could it be that he was jealous of others for having such a gentle and partial mother?

Xiao Jingting sat down on the sofa naturally.

As long as Fu Jinbei is at home, there will always be topics to talk about.

Fu Runing always felt her face getting hot while sitting here. As soon as she looked up, she could see the man opposite her looking at her.

She was slightly stunned, knowing clearly that Xiao Jingting would not look at her in that way.

The only person who would look at her with such a burning gaze was Xiao Ting.

But his calm and rational appearance now is clearly Xiao Jingting.

Fu Runing stood up, looked around, and then said, "I'll go to the kitchen to see if there's anything I can help with."

Xiao Jingting stood up and said lightly: "I'll go, you accompany the guests."

Having said that, he turned and walked towards the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Fu Runing could only help people serve dishes, and she didn't even know how to peel a potato.

She didn't argue with him, and since it was not nice to see the tug and pull, she just sat down again naturally.

Fu Jinbei's eyes moved back and forth between the two of them.

It is said that a son-in-law who has not yet married into the family is more useful than a donkey. In their family, he is like a divorced son-in-law who is available at any time.

Rare.

Fu Jinbei explained to Su Qing: "This child of mine is quiet and different from the other two naughty kids in our family."

Su Qing looked at Xiao Jingting walking away, with a hint of loneliness in her eyes.

She seemed curious and asked casually, "When was this child adopted into your family?"

"That must have been more than ten years..." Fu Jinbei lowered his voice. "When this child came to our house, he was very introverted. He didn't say a word all day. After coming back from school, he would lock himself in his room. But he was smart. He had never studied much before. Who would have thought that after locking himself in his room and studying hard for a year, he would be able to get into high school directly."

"Oh, it seems he went to college a year early. He must have participated in some competition at that time. He could have gone to college in a different place than Shengzhou. At that time, the admissions offices of those good schools often called my house. I don't know how he ended up attending a local school. At that time, many parents in the area came to my house to learn from me..."

Fu Runing's mouth twitched as she listened to her second uncle talking about the past again.

Second Uncle usually doesn't say good things about Fu Zheng behind other people's backs, but he always praises him in front of others.

Sometimes parents would come to their house to ask for advice on how they brought up Fu Zheng. Fu Jinbei would calmly answer, holding a teacup, that it wasn't much, the child was able to do well on his own. It might be because of the good feng shui in our house.

Fu Runing's ears were numb from listening to the middle-aged man's bragging, but she didn't expect that Aunt Su Qing beside her was listening very seriously.

Su Qing then asked, "Why didn't he study before?"

Fu Jinbei lowered his voice even more: "Life was really hard in the past. He was just a teenager, and I don't know how many families adopted him. The families who adopted him were probably either poor or struggling. It must have been difficult for him to grow up this big, so how could he have had a proper education?"

"I heard from Ning Ning's father that he was even forced to sell his blood. Those heartless people didn't even let a child as young as him go. That's why Ning Ning's father brought him back. We, who have children of our own, really can't stand seeing this."

Hearing this, Su Qing's fingers tightened unexpectedly, her nails digging into her palms, causing a slight sting.

Every time Fu Runing heard about Xiao Jingting's past, she couldn't bear to listen.

My father doesn't talk about these things, only my second uncle sometimes brings them up and talks about them, but he only mentions them briefly.

It's a pity that she grew up too late and couldn't understand his self-esteem earlier.

She glanced and saw that Su Qing's eyes were slightly red, so she quickly took out two pieces of paper and gave them to her.

"Aunt Su Qing, don't listen to my second uncle's nonsense. He likes to exaggerate and talk to people like he's performing crosstalk."

Su Qing smiled awkwardly, turned around apologetically and wiped her eyes.

Feng Yan put his arm around his stepmother's shoulders, comforted her, and then explained, "My mother is like this, she's quite emotional."

Fu Jinbei's tone was filled with apology. "It's my fault. I shouldn't have mentioned this, but it's all in the past. The child is doing very well now. His biological father took him back a few years ago. His last name is Xiao now, the Xiao family in Shengzhou."

Feng Yan took over the topic, "I know that my grandfather has some dealings with the Xiao family."

He looked at Su Qing and said, "We are also going to attend the birthday party of the Xiao family in a while. Will you go with my dad?"

Su Qing nodded, her face expressionless.

"Well, he told me."

……

On the other side of the kitchen, Wen Lan was also stunned when he saw Xiao Jingting come in.

Then he rolled up his sleeves naturally and said calmly, "Second Aunt, let me help you."

Wen Lan quickly said, "No, my aunt is cooking today, and I'm just helping out. Why would I need you? Go and talk to them. They're all young people and have something to say."

Xiao Jingting lowered his eyes, his expression becoming a little lonely.

"I'll just stay here. They probably don't want to talk to me."

When Wen Lan heard this, he felt complicated.

She pulled Xiao Jingting aside and said earnestly, "A Zheng, what were you doing earlier? I don't know what difficulties you're having, but I think Ning Ning has been much more relaxed these past two days than before. I can see it with my own eyes."

"What's the point of you coming to my house every day to check in? Do you want to pursue Ning Ning again?"

Wen Lan's words were straightforward, but Xiao Jingting's expression became a little unnatural.

He neither admitted nor denied it.

Seeing him like this, Wen Lan couldn't say anything harsh.

"They say a good horse never turns back to the pasture it has left. How good must your returning grass be to make her turn back?"

Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something and murmured, "Besides, Ning Ning might already have a new boyfriend. Why don't you just forget about it to avoid embarrassing everyone."

Xiao Jingting looked up in disbelief.

"What new boyfriend?"

Wen Lan hesitated for a moment and refused to say anything, leaving him to ask Ning Ning himself.

Xiao Jingting was left standing there, looking dazed.

New boyfriend?

Feng Yan?

No.

Full of lies.

So what if he has a healthy family and his parents are harmonious, isn't he still hypocritical and full of lies?
