Stealing the moonlight into my arms

It was already afternoon when we came out of the hospital.

Fu Runing sat in the passenger seat and checked the adoption procedures and conditions. She was 25 years old and did not meet the requirements whether she was married or single.

Several more messages popped up in the work group, and she replied to them one by one.

Rong Ruo's agent added her as a friend last night, but she just accepted it now. Then the agent pushed a business card over with Rong Ruo's contact information. It seemed that her mother-in-law really intended to give Rong Ruo to her.

Fu Runing sent a friend verification request with her own name attached, but received no response.

The car came to a red light ahead and slowly stopped.

Fu Runing finally took her eyes off the phone and looked up at the handsome and noble man beside her. She just tilted her head and looked at him.

She said in a teasing tone with a hint of tentativeness: "Xiao Jingting, your good sister is now assigned to me."

As expected, the man didn't react.

"Ah."

He just responded casually to show that he understood.

Fu Runing raised her eyebrows at his attitude, "Aren't you afraid that I'll make things difficult for her? Besides, I'm just a nobody. I usually only take care of celebrities who are not on the 18th line. If she gets delayed, don't blame me. Besides, I'm definitely going to resign, so I'll leave..."

The red light ahead turned green, and the push from the car as it started made her swallow the word "divorce" before she could finish it.

Fu Runing glared at him angrily. He started driving so fast, were he in a hurry to be reincarnated?

The shadows of the trees outside the car window flew backwards rapidly.

Fu Runing slowly thought about her plans after the divorce.

Yusong Media, under the Xiao family group, is considered a leader in the industry. In the eyes of her colleagues, she is someone who got in through connections. She usually works as a lackey for Weng Yuqing. Everyone knows that she is a relative of Mr. Weng and she will never go on business trips to follow artists.

After all, Yusong is a big company and always has first-hand resources. Even a little bit of the resources wasted in factional infighting is enough to support a small media company.

A bunch of S+ projects were established, a bunch of big-budget flops were produced, and the financial statements at the end of the year were so bad that they were unbearable to look at.

Zhou Yixing opened a media company a few years ago, following others' lead and wanting to promote his favorite people. However, he was later kicked out. However, the small company gradually became a big name, thanks to her "betraying" Yusong and finding good scripts for Zhou Yixing, as well as those young newcomers who were obviously talented but were buried because they had no background.

Before divorcing and leaving Yusong, she still had to see if there were any hidden gems that she could take away.

Xiao Jingting said that he would not give her any money after the divorce, so of course he had to make up for it from other places.

Just as I was thinking about this, my phone vibrated.

When she clicked on it, she saw that Rong Ruo had accepted her friend request.

Fu Runing opened her circle of friends. The latest update was yesterday, with the words "Happy Birthday". The picture showed a cake. She enlarged the picture and saw a wrist wearing a men's watch in an inconspicuous corner of the picture.

Fu Runing glanced sideways, her gaze turning to Xiao Jingting's hand holding the steering wheel beside her, her eyes resting on the watch.

Exactly the same as in the picture.

Fu Runing exited the Moments interface.

She couldn't ask anything, and didn't want to ask anymore.

They didn't get married for love, so there's no point in asking.

The important thing is to complete the last period of cooperation perfectly.

Fu Runing asked calmly, "Where are we going?"

"Xiyuan."

After hearing the man's indifferent reply of two words, she nodded.

During the day, Xiao Jingting accompanied her to the hospital to see her father, and at night she had to accompany him home.

……

The car drove into a long tree-lined avenue, and at the end of the road was a Chinese-style garden house.

This is the Xiao family, the three years of wealth she forced herself to have.

Even before her family got into trouble, it was nothing compared to the Xiao family's immense wealth.

It is said that Xiao Jingting disappeared when he was five years old. No matter how hard the Xiao family searched for him, they couldn't find him, which led to his ten years of suffering and displacement.

It was not until he was 20 years old that Mr. and Mrs. Xiao were invited by the school to sit in the VIP seats during the university anniversary celebration. They saw Xiao Jingting, who was the president of the student union at that time. At that time, he was still called Fu Zheng. Perhaps it was her strong sixth sense, the old lady felt at first glance that this child looked very much like the missing child in their family, and finally made a conclusion based on the written results of the paternity test.

Afterwards, he returned to the Xiao family and changed his name to Xiao Jingting.

Fu Zheng was just a part of his past that was not worth mentioning.

If it weren't for the accident three years ago, Fu Runing thought, she and he would have no intersection from then on.

It was quite inappropriate for Xiao Jingting to marry her.

So she endured any arrogance from Weng Yuqing. This was her ecological niche in the Xiao family, and she could not offend any member of the Xiao family.

There was a small courtyard in the east where Mr. and Mrs. Xiao lived. Before I even walked into the door, I heard a pretty female voice coming from inside.

Hearing this voice, Fu Runing frowned slightly.

The little princess of the Xiao family is back.

Xiao Jingting also has a younger brother and a younger sister, both born to his aunt and stepmother, the current Mrs. Xiao, Weng Yuqing.

In the words of her second uncle, Xiao Jingting's father married his own sister-in-law after his original wife passed away and had two children with her. Even rabbits don't eat grass near their burrows. This is what a wealthy family is like.

It would also be very explosive even in a wealthy family.

Stepping into the yard, Xiao Jingting answered a phone call outside. Fu Runing walked in first and greeted the two elderly people, "Grandpa, Grandma."

There was a long table in the yard, filled with various refreshments. The old lady smiled and asked Fu Runing to sit down with her.

The servant added a teacup to Fu Runing's cup.

"Come, sit next to grandma. Where's Jingting? Isn't he here with you?"

Fu Runing walked over and prepared to sit down as she was told.

However, before the chair was pulled away, Xiao Qinrui picked up her teacup and handed it over, "Sister-in-law, please give me a cup of tea."

Fu Runing's movements paused slightly, and suddenly, the man's palm pressed down on the back of her hand, pulling the back of the chair open with her hand.

The hand immediately pressed her shoulder and asked her to sit down. It was Xiao Jingting who had just returned from the phone.

Xiao Jingting looked down at Xiao Qinrui with a cold and condescending look.

"Is your hand broken?"

The man's voice was calm, yet contained a hint of coldness.

Xiao Qinrui felt uneasy at the cold look in his eyes, and said awkwardly, "My sister-in-law and I were just joking. Grandma, look how fierce my brother is..."

After saying that, Xiao Qinrui casually handed the teacup to the servant.

Seeing that her eldest grandson and granddaughter were arguing again, the old lady quickly tried to smooth things over: "Ruirui, why don't you call me big brother?"

Xiao Qinrui said reluctantly: "Brother."

The old man tutted his words and said, "Your elder brother really loves his wife."

Fu Runing silently pushed a bowl of tea to Xiao Jingting. She knew why he was angry. It had nothing to do with defending her or not. It was just that men have a certain self-esteem. Shouting at her would be a slap in his face.

When he was not around, Xiao Qinrui often gave her the cold shoulder, but fortunately, there were not many opportunities for them to interact.

The atmosphere eased slightly.

Xiao Qinrui fiddled with the teacup in front of her, smiled coquettishly and said, "Sister-in-law, Mom asked the kitchen to make you some nourishing soup today. You still need to take care of yourself."

The old lady obviously didn't know about this. She looked at Fu Runing and asked, "What's wrong?"

Fu Runing pursed her lips and was about to speak when Xiao Qinrui interrupted, "Grandma, don't you know? My sister-in-law had another miscarriage. The doctor at the provincial hospital is a friend of Mom, so he called to give her some advice on how to take care of her. Mom even went to ask if there was a good Chinese medicine doctor to see my sister-in-law."

The old lady looked at Fu Runing, "Ningning, is this true? Why didn't you tell me..."

Perhaps due to the tacit understanding she had with Xiao Jingting over the years, Fu Runing immediately held his hand under the table.

She rubbed the back of his hand, where the veins were bulging, soothing him.

In a corner where no one could see, she patted the back of his hand.

Then Fu Runing stood up, pulled out a chair, and walked to the old lady and the old man.

She lowered her eyelashes and bowed solemnly to the two old men.

"Grandpa, Grandma, I didn't tell you because Jingting and I didn't want to worry and disappoint you. This child is still not meant to be with us, and Jingting is very upset. We are planning to find a high monk to send this unfortunate child off. Auntie and Ruirui both have good intentions, but we can't bear to hear this right now. It's like a knife in the heart..."

"Jingting and I are the ones who suffer the most from losing our child. Now it's being brought up again. As a woman, I can openly cry about my pain, but can Jingting? I have to endure the discomfort, but I feel heartbroken!"

As she spoke, her voice was stained with sobs and she was unable to continue.

"Our Jingting has been deprived of family affection for many years. Doesn't he want to have a child to enjoy the happiness of family life? I can't recall the suffering he went through in the past. It hurts me to think about it..."

Hearing about Xiao Jingting's disappearance in childhood, everyone's face darkened, especially the old lady, who looked at her eldest grandson with eyes full of guilt.

Xiao Jingting curled his lips calmly.

Fu Runing is indeed an outstanding graduate of the directing and editing major.

The acting is superb again.

He almost took the words 'but I feel sad' seriously again.

Every word and sentence expresses how sad the couple is to lose their child.

There is absolutely no meaning in some people's big mouths meddling in other people's affairs.

However, Xiao Qinrui said calmly, "Brother and sister-in-law have been married for three years and still have no children. Mom is worried. Sister-in-law, I think you should just stay at home and take care of your health. Don't go out to work. You don't make much money."

The old lady frowned at her granddaughter and scolded her, "Alright, stop talking. Why would an unmarried girl worry about your brother and sister-in-law's affairs?"

Xiao Qinrui was speechless. She was not wrong.

Fu Runing married into the family just for her pregnancy. She is shameless and I don’t know why grandma likes her.

The old lady gently pulled Fu Runing to her side and said, "Ningning, let's not talk about the past. The most important thing is to live a good life now. This child has no fate, so there is no fate. You and Jingting can stay in grandma's yard for the next two days. Take good care of yourself here. I have invited Guanyin to burn a few more incense sticks for you."

Fu Runing's eyes were still red. She first glanced at Xiao Jingting, hoping that he would say something...

However, the man did not respond to her.

Fu Runing looked at him again.

Brother, who are you performing this for? Please speak up!

Xiao Jingting raised his eyes and said in a light voice: "Then I'm sorry to bother grandpa and grandma."

Fu Runing was slightly stunned, but had to nod in agreement obediently.

"Thank you grandma."
