Stealing the moonlight into my arms

After Xiao Yanting got on the bus, he started to make a fuss. It took him a while just to adjust the seat.

Fu Runing's passenger seat is usually empty, as it's used to store her daily things.

Watching Xiao Yanting take a long while to adjust to a satisfactory seat, Fu Runing said helplessly, "I told you to sit in the back seat."

Xiao Yanting stretched out his long legs, adjusted his sitting position to be comfortable, and casually teased: "Is your passenger seat some kind of exclusive seat?"

Hearing this, Fu Runing seemed to have thought of something in her mind.

But she still shook her head slightly, "Not really, it's just for fun."

Fu Runing started the car and drove towards Xiyuan.

Xiao Yanting seemed to have some kind of ADHD. He fiddled with her car Bluetooth on the way, connected it to his mobile phone, and selected a playlist from the central control screen.

Fu Runing tutted, "Could you be a little more reserved? We haven't seen each other for over ten years. You're being too familiar."

Xiao Yanting chuckled lightly, his whole person exuding a somewhat lazy and unrestrained dandy air. He said slowly, "Before, when you used headphones to listen to music in class, you had to give me half of them."

"The result is that you get full marks in every subject, and I count backwards."

When talking about the past, Fu Runing was also in a happy mood.

There was a red light at the intersection ahead, so she slowly stopped the car.

While waiting for the traffic light, Fu Runing casually said, "You're also surprised. With such good grades, you actually came to our junior high school. Given your family's financial situation, shouldn't you go to an international school and then go abroad to study early? Why waste these three years for nothing?"

Fu Runing hadn't contacted Xiao Yanting since she graduated from junior high school. During the three years of junior high school, she only knew that Xiao Yanting's family was well-off, which could be seen from his food, clothing, and generosity. But as to how well-off they were, she didn't find out until much later.

She hadn't seen Xiao Yanting in the three years since she married into the Xiao family, and she had never taken the initiative to mention their acquaintance to anyone, believing that less trouble was better than more.

But Xiao Yanting said calmly: "Just go to any middle school. What's so picky about it? It's all the same to me anyway."

Fu Runing smiled. That’s right. He was a top student who had skipped two grades. With such family conditions, he had top-notch educational resources since childhood. It really didn’t matter to him where he went to junior high school.

But Fu Zheng was different at that time. He took textbooks that were not suitable for his age, locked himself in the room all day long, and worked day and night to make up for his blank ten years.

Although they are both children of the Xiao family, their fates are different.

Xiyuan.

Fu Runing drove straight in. As soon as she stopped the car, a familiar car slowly drove up from behind.

That is Xiao Jingting's car.

Xiao Jingting stopped the car on the side, got out and walked towards Fu Runing.

The man knocked on her car window and was about to say something to her when he saw someone sitting in the passenger seat.

Xiao Jingting's brows were slightly furrowed, and his eyes were deep.

Fu Runing opened the car door and got out. At the same time, Xiao Yanting in the passenger seat also unbuckled his seat belt and got out.

Xiao Yanting walked up to Xiao Jingting calmly, his tone natural: "Brother, I just came back and didn't have a car, so I took a ride with Manager Fu."

Xiao Jingting looked at Fu Runing calmly, but her eyes were slightly evasive.

The next moment, Fu Runing's hand naturally wrapped around his arm.

Xiao Jingting's throat rolled slightly, and the clarity in his eyes dissipated a little in an instant.

He raised his eyes to look at the man opposite him and said calmly: "You've been away for a few years, and you even forgot the basic names?"

"My wife is your sister-in-law." Xiao Jingting said calmly, word by word.

Xiao Yanting lowered his eyelashes indifferently. The moment he was shrouded in shadow, his eyes seemed to be stained with a gloom. But in just a moment, he raised his eyes again, and his peach blossom eyes were filled with a faint smile again.

"I'm used to calling you that, and it's inconvenient to call you anything else in the company. It seems few people outside know about your marriage, and Manager Fu didn't correct me."

Although she said this casually, Fu Runing felt the muscles of the arm she was holding tense instantly.

She quickly squeezed Xiao Jingting's arm, her eyebrows curved, and she smiled slightly, "Why are you so serious? Are you standing at the door to interrogate the prisoner? Grandpa and grandma haven't seen Yan Ting for a long time, and they are still waiting for him to come over."

After saying that, she looked up at Xiao Yanting and instructed, "Go to the East Garden and talk to your grandparents first. They've been waiting for you for a long time. We'll go later."

Xiao Yanting nodded, said nothing, turned and walked towards the East Garden.

Only after watching Xiao Yanting walk away did Fu Runing breathe a sigh of relief.

She was about to take her hand away from Xiao Jingting's arm, but the man grabbed her hand and held it.

The man's palms were dry and rough, with thin calluses on the palms. He slowly stroked the soft and delicate skin on her wrists.

Fu Runing raised her eyes to look at him.

As their eyes met, Xiao Jingting's voice was calm: "Why are you feeling guilty?"

Fu Runing seemed to see through him and knew what he was going to say, so she said calmly, "I shouldn't have sent Xiao Yanting back. I should have let him take a taxi by himself."

He asked, “Why?”

"Because he is your aunt's son, he is like your yang side, possessing everything you should have. So I don't think you would want me to get close to him."

Hearing what she said, Xiao Jingting felt a little embarrassed at having his dark side exposed.

He thought there was a reason why Fu Runing was liked by so many people. Who wouldn't want to be close to her?

Xiao Jingting suppressed his emotions and softened his voice, "Fu Runing, I'm not that stingy. You don't have to be so... cautious."

Fu Runing glanced at him and said mercilessly, "Don't I know whether you are petty or not?"

"..." Xiao Jingting was speechless for a moment.
