Chapter 234 Worse than expected
Chapter 234 Worse than expected
Gong Yi Mo Chen smiled and kissed the two children, then looked up at Rong Yue.
The moment their eyes met, both of them had a faint smile on their faces.
Nangong Rongyue felt melancholy. Over the past three years, time had made this man more calm and pleasing to the eye. His determined and smiling eyes seemed to overlap with some blurred scenes in her memory. Rongyue suddenly felt relieved. It seemed that Mo Chen had really let go of the past.
Gong Yimochen was melancholy. Over the past three years, the years have not left any traces on this woman, but have made her more gentle and calm. She was wearing a slim white dress that was not tainted by the world. The sun shone on her, and she seemed to be reflecting the colorful light, with a kind of beauty that transcended the world. For more than three years, he could only look at her in photos. Countless photos could not compare to this look at her, the beauty was lively and real.
Looking at Rongyue's smile, Mo Chen's breathing stagnated for a moment, and he adjusted himself in just a moment. Looking at Rongyue's relieved look, he knew how difficult the road ahead would be. But wasn't he eliminating all the hidden dangers just waiting for this moment to be with her without any worries?
Thinking of this, Mo Chen looked at Rong Yue with an even deeper and more determined smile.
"You really made it back!" Li Xin looked at Mo Chen.
"Well, I came back on a special plane. I was here as soon as I got off the plane. Fortunately, I managed to catch up." Mo Chen looked at Li Xin.
"It's almost time, hurry up and go in! Don't be late." Grandpa reminded.
Rongyue looked at Gong Yi Jingyu who was lying in Mo Chen's arms and said, "Come down and walk by yourself."
Gong Yi Jingyu hugged Mo Chen even tighter, "No! I want daddy to hold me!"
"It's okay, I'll hold her." Mo Chen looked at Rong Yue.
Rongyue looked at Mo Chen and had to hold Gong Yijingchu's hand.
The four of them walked into the campus, walked along the long green path to the main building, and found the class where Xiaoyu and Xiaochu were. When they first came here, Rongyue was still shocked by the luxury of this kindergarten. Because she had brought the children here before school started and they were familiar with it, the children adapted well and soon followed their teachers and classmates to play.
Most of the parents knew each other, and when the children went out to play, some of them came up to Mo Chen to greet him.
"Mr. Gong, long time no see. What a coincidence that our children are in the same class. Why didn't I see you at the last meeting?" A couple walked up to Mo Chen.
"Yes, what a coincidence. I just returned to China." Mo Chen responded calmly.
After a while, another couple came over and talked to Mo Chen.
Rongyue looked at the two couples approaching. They were greeting Mo Chen and their eyes fell on her from time to time, as if they didn't know whether they should communicate with her.
Because she was standing not too far from Mo Chen, without any intimate actions. Besides, this circle is actually very small, and everyone is gossiping a lot. The incident three years ago was deliberately publicized and everyone knows about it. It seems that the residual influence has not completely dissipated yet.
Rongyue was quite open-minded. Not to mention whether three years was a short time or not, she had a broad mind, which was enough for her to look at many things lightly. Moreover, she was rescued from amniotic fluid embolism on the day she gave birth. The moment she woke up, her mind was almost blank and she couldn't remember anything. All the people and things were recalled by her slowly.
Including everything about Gong Yi and Mo Chen, she could only remember some scattered scenes, until she remembered that they had divorced. Rongyue no longer recalled him or read any news about him. She only occasionally heard the children mention their father, as if this person was just a stranger, because this was good for everyone.
Rongyue turned her head and looked at several pairs of parents in the distance. They were all staring at this side, as if waiting to talk to Gong Yi and Mo Chen.
Rongyue stood one step away from Mo Chen. She took a few steps back and saw Mo Chen and other parents greeting each other seriously. She turned around and walked to where the children were playing and looked at Jingyu and Jingchu.
The two children had already finished playing with their classmates. They didn't look for her at all and didn't seem to be sad at all. It seemed that she was worrying too much. She had watched the video for a long time before on how to comfort children with separation anxiety, but now it was completely useless. Rongyue was relieved. She chatted with the teacher for a few words and walked out.
"You have class today? Are you in such a hurry to leave?"
Rongyue slowed down her pace and looked back in surprise at Mo Chen who was not far behind her. He was just chatting with other parents inside! How did he suddenly come out?
"Yeah, yes... why did you come out too?" Rongyue just slowed down but didn't stop.
"I'm not good at small talk, and it's better for us to be together in the future." Mo Chen looked at Rongyue.
Rongyue thought about it, a busy man like him really doesn't like to chat, especially considering his status, those chats that curry favor with others are actually quite embarrassing. As for what he said about being together, it is indeed better for two people to be together in places like kindergarten. It is also good for children to have the impression of a healthy family, because other families have parents together.
"Okay." Rongyue responded readily, turned around and continued walking.
Mo Chen watched Rong Yue walk seriously with her eyes lowered. There was no ripple on her fair and bright face, as if she was responding to an insignificant request from a stranger. His heart was still moved. She used to react differently to his words, either angry or happy. Watching her various expressions was one of his pleasures, but no matter what her reaction was, he cared about it. The way she looked at him was always energetic and focused, which was completely different from her current indifference and politeness.
He had just chatted with other parents for a few words, and when he turned around, he saw her back hurried out the door. He no longer had the patience to stay, so he glanced at the children and hurried out to catch up with her.
"I'm not leaving this time when I come back." Mo Chen walked beside Rongyue, staring at Rongyue, and spoke softly.
Rongyue looked up at him, there seemed to be a hint of surprise in her eyes, but more of confusion, but in just a moment her eyes were replaced by a faint smile.
"Xiaochu and Xiaoyu must be so happy! They often tell me that they like being with you, and they always say they miss you when you are not around."
Mo Chen looked at Rong Yue's eyes. Her smiling eyes were particularly beautiful, making people feel happy as if a spring breeze was blowing on their faces. The only difference from the way she smiled and called his name in his memory was the deep love in her eyes, which made him miss her very much.
"What about you?" Mo Chen asked casually. After asking, he felt that he was a little too impatient, but since he had already asked, he could only look at Rongyue seriously and wait for an answer.
"Ah?" Rongyue's eyes widened. "Me?!"
Mo Chen nodded, "That's you. What do you think of my return? Are you happy?"
"..." Rongyue was stunned for a moment, then she smiled again, "I'm happy too!"
Mo Chen looked at Rong Yue and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.
"Really! The two little ones won't just cling to me anymore. I'll be happy to have more time for myself."
Rongyue stopped smiling and said, "I'll trouble you more in the future!"
Mo Chen looked at Rongyue's sincere expression, but when she was explaining why she was happy, he had expected that the attitude and distant tone of eagerness to distance herself from the relationship would happen, but when she actually experienced it, he still felt uncomfortable even though he was prepared.
"There's no need to be polite between us." Mo Chen smiled helplessly.
"Yeah." Rongyue also smiled. No matter what, they were both parents of two children and had responsibilities to fulfill, so they really shouldn't be polite. Rongyue turned back and continued to look at the road.
The two of them walked to the door. Rongyue looked up and looked around. When she saw something, her eyes suddenly lit up. She subconsciously quickened her pace and took two steps. Then she seemed to suddenly remember the person next to her and turned around to look at Mo Chen.
"I still have classes, so I'll leave first." Rongyue said and pointed in a direction ahead.
Mo Chen looked in the direction she pointed and saw Li Xin leaning against a car smoking in the parking lot in the distance.
"My car is parked there too. Let's go over there together. I just need to chat with Li Xin." Mo Chen walked over to Rong Yue.
Rongyue nodded, and had to slow down her pace again, having hastily quickened her pace just now.
"Mr. Li, can I get a ride?" Rongyue approached Li Xin and asked jokingly, her tone relaxed and comfortable, completely devoid of the politeness and restraint she had shown towards Mo Chen just now.
Li Xin flicked away the cigarette and stomped it out, then opened the car door and gestured for guests to come in.
Rongyue smiled and turned to look at Mo Chen, "Then I'll get in the car first, you guys chat."
Mo Chen looked at the bright smile on her face which she had not yet hidden, and nodded.
Rongyue got in the car.
Li Xin looked at Rongyue and said, "Let's chat for a while, then we'll leave right away."
"Well, there's no rush."
After Rongyue finished speaking, Li Xin closed the car door and looked at Mo Chen who was walking over. Mo Chen's eyes were always looking into the car, as if he could see Rongyue through the privacy glass.
Li Xin looked back at the car window and realized that he couldn't see inside the car from outside.
"How do you feel?" Li Xin looked at Mo Chen with a smile, his tone full of playfulness.
Mo Chen raised his eyes and looked at Li Xin. "It's worse than I expected."
"If you don't have confidence, don't waste your energy. There are so many women who like you, why do you have to seek torture?" Li Xin raised the corner of his mouth and looked at Mo Chen playfully.
Mo Chen's eyes fell back to Li Xin's face from the car window again. He sneered, glared at Li Xin, turned and walked towards his car. "See you later."
"Aren't you afraid that I will elope with Rongyue?!" Li Xin raised his eyebrows.
"Do you not want legs anymore or do you not want tongue anymore?" Mo Chen got in the car, rolled his eyes at Li Xin and drove away.
