Stealing the moonlight into my arms

Fu Runing obviously didn't expect Xiao Jingting to come to her house.

Isn’t he on a business trip?

At this time, she and Feng Yan were sitting in the back seat, with Duoduo between them.

Feng Yan looked out the window and asked politely, "Ning Ning, do you have guests?"

Fu Runing sighed secretly in her heart, then forced a smile and explained: "It's my husband, Brother Feng Yan. You probably haven't seen him before."

Feng Yan's expression remained unchanged, maintaining his usual modesty. "Then is it appropriate for me to visit you today? Will it bother you?"

Before Fu Runing could say anything, Duoduo nudged herself towards Feng Yan's legs again, resting her chin on the man's suit trousers. Her eyes and actions clearly meant that she was not letting him go.

"What's inappropriate about that?"

She and Feng Yan have known each other for many years. Could she really chase him away from the door just because Xiao Jingting is here?

The driver opened the car door for the two of them, and Duoduo was carried down by the handsome guy again.

Although Fu Runing was reluctant, she still walked up to Xiao Jingting first. Seeing him standing there expressionlessly, she suppressed her voice and asked softly, "Didn't you say you were on a business trip? Why did you suddenly come to my house without even saying hello?"

Under the midday sun, the color in Xiao Jingting's eyes was deep and cold. He just looked at her quietly, and his tone was flat without revealing any emotion. "I called you."

Fu Runing reacted when she heard this, oh, he was calling her.

I hit two more.

"I turned on silent mode, so I didn't see it. Sorry." Fu Runing asked again, "Then why are you here? Aren't you going on a business trip?"

She asked this question too naturally. In fact, her real intention was to wonder if he had delayed his work for no reason.

But when Xiao Jingting heard it, it had some other meaning.

"I can't come?"

There was a hint of mockery in Xiao Jingting's cold voice, but he put his arm around her waist, a very natural movement.

Fu Runing felt uncomfortable, but she couldn't say anything.

"Yes... Of course I can. This is still your home. Why can't you come? Stop joking, husband..."

Fu Runing said the last two words almost with a smile and gritted teeth.

The two of them were talking in a sweet and affectionate way. Fu Jinbei saw it all and thought, this is pretty good. Before, they were saying that they couldn't live together anymore. Really...

Feng Yan greeted Fu Jinbei and his wife one by one. After the greetings, he turned and looked at Xiao Jingting.

Feng Yan extended his hand to Xiao Jingting. "Hello, Ning Ning and I used to be neighbors. We lived next door."

The two men stood together, their heights were similar, but their eyes were calm as they were sizing up each other.

Xiao Jingting raised his hand and shook his, "I've heard a lot about you."

There is not a single superfluous word.

Feng Yan didn't say anything and turned his gaze to Fu Runing again.

"Ningning, give me your clothes."

Xiao Jingting lowered his eyes and glanced, and saw Fu Runing holding a black coat in her hand. His eyes darkened.

Fu Runing said a little embarrassedly, "I'll go home and help you clean it up. Your coat is covered in hair. It's a simple task and will be quick."

I felt embarrassed when someone carried Duoduo in and out and rubbed her fur all over her.

Xiao Jingting said indifferently: "What's wrong with Duoduo?"

"It's a fracture, it could also be neuritis. I took Duoduo to the pet hospital."

Fu Runing's tone was somewhat impatient. Duoduo was just a dog that she raised alone. When had Xiao Jingting ever asked about her? Why was he asking in such a pretentious manner now?

If the dog were replaced by a child, she would definitely be in a widow-like marriage and raising the child alone.

"Really?" Xiao Jingting glanced at Duoduo who was following his second aunt Wen Lan. Duoduo was holding up her front paws to act pitiful. Her aggrieved look made his second aunt feel distressed.

Xiao Jingting spoke slowly: "Duoduo, come here."

When the dog heard the command, its ears moved, but its eyes did not look in this direction.

One second, two seconds, three seconds——

Suddenly, Duoduo took two small steps away from Second Aunt, and then ran home...

In the blink of an eye, he disappeared.

Xiao Jingting scoffed: "Is this the fracture you mentioned?"

If you can't tell a lie, don't lie.

Fu Runing: “…”

"The doctor also said it might be fake..."

Xiao Jingting ignored her. It was true that the dog resembled the person he was. Even the dog was so good at pretending like her.

……

in the living room.

Fu Jinbei was still talking about Fu Runing's childhood.

"The first time Ning Ning learned to ride a bike, she crashed into a tree and cried for a long time. She said she didn't want to learn anymore and even tore her new skirt. But she wasn't convinced. She said that seeing her neighbor A Yan know everything, she wanted to learn everything too. In the end, she was always trying for a few days and resting for a few days, and she didn't learn anything. Fortunately, she was able to get into university."

Feng Yan responded, "Ning Ning is still very smart, but she likes too many things."

Fu Jinbei became more and more excited the more he talked. "Of course I did. I studied piano for three months, but the novelty wore off. I wanted to learn violin, but the novelty wore off again soon. Then he said he wanted to learn erhu. I really can't think about those days. My ears were never quiet."

"Then she said she wanted to learn how to dance. I thought it would be more appropriate to send her to Shaolin Temple to learn martial arts. But she even insisted on dragging a few of us to sit in a row and watch her dance. It was really..."

Xiao Jingting stood outside the living room. He didn't walk over, but just stood at the corner, where the light couldn't reach.

Listening to them talk about their shared childhood memories.

Just as he listened, those concrete images jumped out of his mind, as if he really saw her happy childhood.

There is her loving family and her childhood sweetheart and neighbor brother.

When he was young, there was only endless darkness and endless gloom and dampness.

Fu Runing didn't want to listen to her second uncle slandering her in the living room, so she turned and walked out.

When she reached the aisle, she was pulled over by a force coming from the side. The man's tall figure in the dimly lit aisle seemed like a dense black net covering her.

Fu Runing's back was pressed against the wall. She struggled, put her hands in front of the man to create some distance, and said in a bad tone, "Xiao Jingting, what are you doing?"

Xiao Jingting looked down at her condescendingly, holding her wrist with one hand and twisting it behind her back.

"After the divorce, do you plan to live with him?"

The man's tone was calm, but it contained an indescribable anger.

Fu Runing didn't care where his will-o'-the-wisp came from. "Who do you care who I live with? Xiao Jingting, we are now partners, partners, partners, don't forget it!"

"Let me go, it hurts so much..."

Fu Runing struggled with him, lowering her voice, but the man's grip was so strong that she was just yelling at first, but after struggling like that, she really felt the pain.

It’s so annoying. This man comes back just to quarrel with her.

Fu Runing stopped struggling and looked at him angrily. "Besides, you're having affairs with others, so you think there's something wrong with others. When Brother Feng Yan and I met, you didn't even know where you were. We were good neighbors. Even though we didn't keep in touch later, he still sent me gifts for more than ten years."

Xiao Jingting loosened his grip slightly, "What did he give you?"

"The row of zodiac wooden carvings in my cabinet."

Fu Runing looked at him strangely. She had placed that row of wood carvings in the display cabinet in her bedroom. Didn't he see them every day? She hadn't hidden anything from him.

However, Xiao Jingting asked a nonsensical question:

"Did he tell you he gave it to you?"

Fu Runing choked back, "Yeah, if it wasn't him, then how could it be you who gave it to him?"

The man sneered coldly, "How could I possibly give it to you? Why are you being so sentimental?"

Fu Runing would not be so self-indulgent, but being mocked by him like this, she couldn't help but feel like a failure. She had shown her kindness to him many times when she was young, but he just ignored her and was dismissive of her.

Later, when she went to beg him, she crushed all her dignity and pride.

Fu Runing suppressed her emotions and struggled with her wrist, "Then what are you doing? Why don't you let me go?"

Xiao Jingting stroked the delicate skin of her wrist with his rough fingertips and warned her in a deep voice, "Be more restrained in front of others, have a sense of contract, and don't flirt with other men."

Fu Runing was too lazy to argue with him.

Is he the only one who has a sense of contract?

It's noble to do it secretly, right?
