Stealing the moonlight into my arms

Xiao Yanting returned to Xiyuan and first met the old man and the old lady. He stayed with them and talked for a while in Dongyuan before leaving Dongyuan.

He paced slowly back to his mother's house.

In the tea room on the first floor, Xiao Qinrui and Weng Yuqing were sitting there drinking tea.

Hearing the servant outside calling "Second Young Master", Xiao Qinrui immediately put down her teacup and stood up to greet him.

Xiao Qinrui, holding the hem of her skirt, trotted to Xiao Yanting and threw herself into the man's arms, holding him tightly with her arms.

"Brother, you are finally back. I missed you so much."

Only in front of her brother would Xiao Qinrui reveal such an innocent little girl's smile, and even her voice was choked with sobs.

"Brother, now that you're back, you won't leave this time, right? Dad is so partial. Why did he leave you out for so long? When you're not at home, there's no one to support me..."

Xiao Yanting listened to his sister's crying and caressed her shoulders lovingly.

"Brother won't leave."

Only then did Xiao Qinrui slowly let go of Xiao Yanting.

The brother and sister stayed together for a while before Xiao Yanting walked up to Weng Yuqing.

"mom."

When Weng Yuqing saw her son coming back, she could not hide the pride in her eyes. This son has always been her pride, and his excellence after these years of experience is obvious to all.

But Ming did not have the scene he had imagined of mother and son reuniting after a long separation with tears in their eyes. Weng Yuqing just nodded and pointed to the seat next to him for him to sit down.

"Yanting, now that you're back, please focus on your work and don't let me down."

As she spoke, she took out a stack of papers and spread them out on the coffee table one by one.

Xiao Yanting lowered his eyes and glanced at her, his eyes showing no emotion.

Weng Yuqing said, "You are old enough. I have selected these girls. They are no more than two years older than you and have decent family backgrounds. You can pick one and start dating someone you like."

Xiao Yanting flipped through the book casually with a dull look, unable to muster any interest.

Weng Yuqing insisted that he choose one, "How about it, Yanting, do you see anyone you like?"

Xiao Yanting didn't express his opinion, but asked, "Which one do you like?"

"What are you talking about? I asked you what you meant, and you asked me what I wanted to do?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yanting just looked at his mother coldly, his eyes calm and silent.

Weng Yuqing was startled by his gaze.

After a moment, Xiao Yanting said calmly, "Mom, aren't you enjoying your leisure time? Why do you have to rush to find a daughter-in-law and create conflicts between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?"

"I'm doing this all for your own good. Get married and have a child soon, while that couple still doesn't have any children..."

Seeing that her brother was in a bad mood, Xiao Qinrui immediately pushed Weng Yuqing to stop her chattering.

"Mom, don't nag me as soon as you get back. This important matter in life can't be rushed. Do we have to talk about it today?" She looked at Xiao Yanting and said, "Brother, did you bring me a gift?"

Xiao Yanting smiled faintly, "I've moved to your room."

Xiao Qinrui smiled and took his arm, saying affectionately, "Thank you, brother. I know you treat me the best."

Weng Yuqing wanted to say something, but when he looked at the two children in front of him, he gave up.

Xiao Yanting turned his gaze back to the documents in front of him and randomly picked out three of them.

"Just these few."

He spoke casually. Weng Yuqing was dissatisfied with his perfunctory attitude. Just as he was about to say something, Xiao Yanting started talking.

"Mom, drink your tea and live your life. Don't worry about trivial things, or you will lose both the wife and the army."

"Yanting..." Weng Yuqing was so choked by his son that he couldn't even utter a word.

He almost said she was stupid.

Seeing this, Xiao Qinrui livened up the atmosphere and said, "Brother, accompany me to see the gifts. I want to see what you gave me. If it's not good, I won't let you go."

As he said this, he pulled the person away.

After Xiao Qinrui and Xiao Yanting left, Weng Yuqing leaned back on the sofa and pinched his eyebrows with his fingers.

Sometimes she had to admit that she was a little afraid of her son.

Xiao Yanting has always been the pride of the Xiao family and her pride. He has been outstanding since he was a child and can be said to have grown up under the attention of the public. She has high expectations of him, and of course this child has not disappointed them.

But since when, Weng Yuqing found that her son seemed to have changed, but she couldn't tell exactly where he had changed.

After a long silence, Weng Yuqing didn't think about it anymore.

He then picked up the three documents that had been picked out from the coffee table.

Xiao Yanting made a perfunctory choice, but she wanted to take another careful look.

Then his eyes stopped on one of the documents.

Yu Wanyin, 25 years old, from the Yu family in Nancheng.

Weng Yuqing looked carefully at the girl in the photo and found she was indeed pleasing to the eye.

Although the Yu family in Nancheng is not as prominent as the Xiao family, they also started out as a solid industrial family.

In terms of family background, he is worthy of it.

However, the daughter of the Yu family is not their biological daughter, but an adopted daughter.

Weng Yuqing thought that the most taboo thing in family marriages was illegitimate children, as they were easily gossiped about by others, but it didn't matter for adopted daughters.

Soon after the ancestor worship, Xiao Hongshen’s birthday will be approaching, so we will hold a banquet to let the young people meet him.

Thinking of Fu Runing, Weng Yuqing felt a headache. When she married into the family three years ago, she seemed easy to control, but now she is no longer pretentious and has become lawless.

The most important point is that Fu Runing is too protective of Xiao Jingting. In the past, they seemed to be incompatible but she didn't care about it. Now, things are getting better and better.

I don’t know what kind of magic potion they gave the old lady, but she also sided with them.

I still have to find a way to get her out of the Xiao family as soon as possible and replace her with someone who is obedient and easy to control.

Thinking of this, Weng Yuqing picked up his cell phone and made a call.

It's been so long and there's still no movement. Rong Ruo looks pretty, but she's useless and can't even seduce a man.

It was her idea to let Rong Ruo join Yusong Media because she saw the photos of Rong Ruo and Xiao Jingting taken privately. As expected, there is no man who is not unfaithful.

Afterwards, he deliberately gave Rong Ruo to Fu Runing.

As a result, Fu Runing and Xiao Jingting finally got their divorce a while ago, but who knew that the fight would end in silence.

……

"Ah..."

Fu Runing sneezed several times in succession while waiting for her meal to be served in the restaurant.

She covered her mouth and nose with a tissue and rubbed it gently.

Who is talking bad about her behind her back!

Xiao Jingting had just answered a phone call and finished his work. When he came back, he saw Fu Runing looking at him with angry eyes.

The man lowered his eyes and looked at her, "What's wrong with you?"

"Are you cursing me behind my back?"

Fu Runing threw away the tissue, her nose was still red.

"..." Xiao Jingting said lightly: "I'm free."

Fu Runing crossed her arms and looked at him with her chin raised. "You're not free, why don't you bring me food today?"

Xiao Jingting knew that sometimes Fu Runing would just say something casually, but it seemed like the burden would not fall away.

He used to often feel overwhelmed by her words, so he just dealt with it with silence and didn't bother to pay any attention to her.

But at this moment, he suddenly said calmly: "Yes, I'm free."

Fu Runing was stunned. Oh, why did he suddenly become so easy to talk to?

"you……"

She is used to tit-for-tat, and she can't handle this.

Xiao Jingting suddenly leaned over and approached Fu Runing. She looked at the handsome face that was enlarged in front of her and blinked twice, feeling a little unnatural.

"You...what are you doing again?"

"Don't move." The man reached out and wiped the tip of his finger across the tip of her nose. "There are scraps of paper."

"Oh."

Fu Runing lowered her eyelids, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly.

The man pinched off the paper scraps on the tip of her nose, then stood up straight with a natural expression.

Fu Runing poked her nose with her finger, then her eyes wandered around aimlessly, looking for something unknown.

Finally, her gaze turned to the landscape window.

The wind blew outside the window, and the evening sunset was reflected on the white wall through the shadows of bamboo.

The bamboo shadows are mottled and the floating light is golden.

Xiao Jingting's hands hung naturally at his sides, but his fingers were rubbing against each other unnaturally.

His throat rolled slightly, waiting for the unknown tension to dissipate.

After a moment, Xiao Jingting turned to look at Fu Runing, only to see that she was staring intently out the window.

He followed her gaze.

Outside the window was a white-walled cobblestone corridor. Under the dancing light of the setting sun, the rustling of bamboos could be heard, and Xiao Yanting was walking towards them confidently.

Xiao Jingting's eyes were slightly cold, and Xiao Yanting outside the window also stopped, and their eyes met.

At that moment, before either of them had time to disguise themselves, they saw the calm and undisguised disgust in each other's eyes.

Fu Runing was in a daze and missed this scene.

When she came to her senses, Xiao Yanting had already walked past the window.

"Fu Runing, you should resign."

Fu Runing suddenly heard Xiao Jingting say this without any context, and she looked at him jokingly.

"Why, you won't let me stare at your good sister anymore?"

Xiao Jingting looked at her lazy yet aggressive eyes, his throat felt hard, but he just said, "We are fine."

Fu Runing looked away indifferently.

Is this considered an affair before divorce?

But some things cannot be accepted without a reasonable explanation.

……

Since Xiao Yanting's return, the Xiao family's dinner table has not been so lively for a long time.

Xiao Yanting was sweet-mouthed and good at talking, and the old man happily poured him a glass of wine.

A bowl of soup was pushed towards Fu Runing's hand, and the owner of this hand was Xiao Jingting.

Without even looking at him, she picked up the spoon and slowly took two sips.

Suddenly, Fu Runing felt nauseous. She put down the spoon, turned around, covered her mouth and retched.

Xiao Jingting immediately poured her a glass of water, "Are you okay?"

Fu Runing drank the water from the cup he handed her and shook her head.

As a result, everyone at the table focused their attention on her.

The old lady's eyes were filled with visible joy. "Ningning, why are you feeling unwell? Let's go to the hospital right after dinner."

The old man said beside him, "You're confused. The hospital is closed at this time. Call Dr. Gao over."

"Oh, yes, yes, call Dr. Gao over."

Fu Runing wiped her mouth, and as her eyes moved, she took in the expressions of the other people at the table.

Some are happy and some are sad.

The two elders must be happy, they really hope that Xiao Jingting can have a child.

Xiao Hongshen didn't care and looked natural.

Xiao Yanting seemed absent-minded, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Xiao Qinrui looked at her curiously, thinking about something.

Weng Yuqing's face looked interesting, a mixture of shock and nervousness.

Could she pretend?

Fu Runing waved to the old lady and explained softly, "It's okay. I've been having stomach discomfort lately. Jing Ting will accompany me to the hospital later."

The old lady looked at Xiao Jingting and warned: "Then hurry up."

Xiao Jingting agreed.

After the banquet, Xiao Jingting and Fu Runing prepared to leave Xiyuan.

Fu Runing drove here by herself, and she naturally went to open her car door, but the man next to her grabbed her hand.

Xiao Jingting said in a deep voice: "Don't drive this car, I'll ask the 4S shop to tow it for maintenance."

It only took Fu Runing a moment to realize what he meant.

In the past, Xiao Jingting would personally check any car that had parked at Xiyuan, fearing that it had been tampered with.

Fu Runing looked at the car behind him, "Where's your car?"

"She doesn't dare touch me."

Fu Runing didn't say anything else and sat in the passenger seat.

After getting in the car, Xiao Jingting glanced at his phone and said, "I'll ask Fang Jihuai to contact the doctor and go tonight."

His tone sounded a little anxious.

Hearing this, Fu Runing smiled helplessly.

She leaned her elbows on the car window, tapped her chin with her fingers, and looked at the man in front of her leisurely.

"Xiao Jingting, you're a science student. I won't get pregnant given the time. This symptom is most likely just an adverse reaction to the birth control pills. Why are you so nervous?"

Listening to the woman's slightly mocking words, Xiao Jingting remained silent.

She pronounced the word "contraceptive pill" clearly.

It also exposes the false pretense that they are doing well.

Divorce is still part of her plan.

"go home."

In the end, Xiao Jingting just said these three words calmly.
