Destined Wife: The Apple of My Eye

Chapter 135 Old Friend’s Trust

“Qiang Di... She’s a girlfriend of my old friend.” Out of the gallery, Lang Ruoxian suddenly says.

Yan Hua draws her hand back, “Go back first. Let’s talk about it at home.”

Journalists are around them. She doesn’t want to find that she’s been a headline again when she gets up tomorrow.

“Sister Chen and I will go to school to take Mingxi.” Fei Ying says, “You can go back first!” Then she gets into Chen Hong’s car. Chen Hong glares at Lang Ruoxian as she leaves.

Lang Ruoxian helps Yan Hua get on his car. The driver comes with them today. So they just sit there face to face.

“The bracelet was for you.” Lang Ruoxian suddenly says, “I put it in my office, and planned to find someone to put rubies in it. But it was taken away by Qiang Di. I’ve been looking for another bracelet and give you a better one.”

Yan Hua bows her head and says nothing, but Lang Ruoxian sees her smile.

His heart becomes soft because of Yan Hua’s smile. He doesn’t speak, either and just stares at her. Yan Hua feels awkward at the beginning. Then she looks natural to let him look. When they go back to home, Gungun just wakes up and house maid is taking him to eat dessert in garden.

“Uncle!” The little boy rushes to Lang Ruoxian as he sees him. Then Gungun doesn’t move after hugging Lang Ruoxian’s neck.

Yan Hua finds something wrong with her son. The little boy is weeping.

“Gungun?” Lang Ruoxian is shocked.

Gungun cries out, “Uncle, do you think I am naughty? So you don’t like me anymore!”

“Who tells you that?” Lang Ruoxian pats him as he goes into the house.

Gungun sobs, “But... But you haven’t come to see me for many days. I... Will I lose you forever? I have no dad. Now I will lose my uncle in the future, right?”

“Good boy!” Lang Ruoxian is stunned. He looks at Yan Hua with complicated emotions.

Yan Hua’s eyes become red. She turns around.

“I’m Gungun’s dad.” Lang Ruoxian wipes the little boy’s eyes. “Although you call me uncle, I’m your dad from now on.”

Yan Hua turns her head and casts a stern glance at him, “Don’t talk nonsense.”

“I know it.” Gungun hugs Lang Ruoxian and rubs against him like a little pet. “My dad has gone to a far place. It’s so far that he can’t come back any more. Uncle can’t be my dad unless you marry my mommy.”

“Gungun, who taught you that?” Yan Hua is shocked. How can her son become so clever?

Gungun says in a low voice, “The TV... TV shows always act like this.”

“I want to marry your mommy. If she agrees, I’ll become your dad.”

“Is it true?” Gungun looks at Yan Hua with his bright eyes, “Mommy?”

Yan Hua takes him from Lang Ruoxian and says, “Go to wash your face.”

“Mommy, say yes to Uncle!”

“Children can’t interfere in the affairs of adults.”

“But I want Uncle to be my dad...”

“Haven’t I told you that he came to see you every night? But you were asleep every time he saw you.”

The voice gradually fades. Lang Ruoxian turns his eyes. His black eyes don’t calm down until a long time later and Yan Hua has already taken Gungun back. Maybe because he just cries, Gungun is a little embarrassed.

“Do you want to play it?” Lang Ruoxian asks him.

Gungun nods his little head happily. So, a tall man and a short boy play the robot, sitting in front of the bay window. Yan Hua sits near them with a book in her hand. Lang Ruoxian looks at her frequently. Every time when he takes back his eye, Gungun looks at her, too.

“Uncle, is Mommy more beautiful than the princess?” Gungun lowers his voice, “I don’t think the princesses in the animated cartoon are as beautiful as mommy.”

Lang Ruoxian touches his head, “Of course, your mommy is the most beautiful woman.”

“Do you like Mommy?” Looking at Lang Ruoxian, Gungun asks him with an expectant face.

Lang Ruoxian touches him with his forehead. “I like your mommy very much. I’ve told you that I want to be your dad. When I marry your mommy, I’ll be your dad.”

Yan Hua shakes her head and is too lazy to correct Gungun. When Mingxi leaves school, Gungun walks Pudding with him. Finally, Lang Ruoxian finds a chance to speak. He sits in front of Yan Hua.

“As I said before, Qiang Di is the girlfriend of my old friend.”

Yan Hua nod, “Old friend... He has been dead, right?”

“Yes. He asked me to take care of her before he died. Qiang Di couldn’t accept the fact that her boyfriend died. So she went abroad. I thought she would never come back for a long time. I didn’t expect that she came back suddenly...”

After observing Yan Hua’s expression carefully, he is sure that she is not angry. Then he goes on to say, “Hua, this old friend saved my life few years ago to make me continue to live. When he was going to die, Qiang Di was the only requirement of him.”

“I didn’t know how to say it to you because you are so smart.” Lang Ruoxian proudly says, “But now that she’s back, if I don’t say anything, I’m afraid I’ll lose you.”

Yan Hua leans on the sofa and looks at him with an interesting look. “Obviously, this Miss Qiang Di doesn’t want the same care as you do.”

“No...” Lang Ruoxian couldn’t help touching her legs exposed outside her skirt. Yan Hua kicks him. But he is not angry at all, “She doesn’t like me. I think she just fears a lot.”

Yan Hua raises her hand, “I know what you mean.”

Like many brothers and sisters, when the elder brother finds his wife, the younger sister will be afraid of all kinds of things and feels that woman robs her brother. Many mothers and sons are also like this.

The mother is bad for her daughter-in-law because she thinks this woman robs her son.

Yan Hua doesn’t want to comment such kind of women. But Qiang Di...

“As long as she doesn’t trouble me, I won’t provoke her. You know I’m afraid of trouble.”

Lang Ruoxian takes a small blanket near him to cover her legs. Yan Hua frowns. “I’m not hot.”

“I know. I’m hot.” Lang Ruoxian stares at her, “I always want to touch them without covering them by a blanket.”

Yan Hua shows the whites of her eyes. “When did you lose self-control?”

“I’ve never had that in front of you.” Lang Ruoxian says without shame, “Don’t worry. I will have a good talk with Qiang Di.”

Yan Hua gives him a sympathetic look, “Then you’d better pray that her brain is still clear. I don’t need to remind you how terrible a woman is when she loses her sanity.”

Qiang Di sits beside the glass window of the hotel, staring at the small cars and the small crowds below.

When Lang Ruoxian comes in, she does not move.

“Xiaodi.” Lang Ruoxian doesn’t take a chair and sits on the carpet like her.

Qiang Di slowly turns her head to look at him. Suddenly, a string of her tears fall down, “Am I particularly disgusting?”

“No.” Lang Ruoxian takes her hand. “I hope you understand that no matter what happens, we are both relatives. It will never change.”

“I hate myself like that.” Qiang Di cries, “Like an ugly jealous woman, I hurt innocent people.”

Lang Ruoxian helps her sit on the sofa. Then he goes to the bathroom and takes a towel. “I’m not good at comforting people, but you should know what I think.”

“Sorry!” Qiang Di takes the towel from Lang Ruoxian and wipes her face. “Sometimes I can’t control myself.”

“You still have three days before you go to the next city. Tomorrow we should make some time to see him.” Lang Ruoxian looks at the emerald bracelet on her wrist. Qiang Di wants to take it off. But Lang Ruoxian stops her.

“Silly girl, it’s yours.”

“It’s your gift to Miss Yan.” Qiang Di cast a glance at him. “I know I’m wrong. I wore it deliberately to let her see.”

Lang Ruoxian smiles, “I can send her another one. Well, wash your face and I’ll take you to dinner.”

Fei Ying and Chen Hong are setting their postures to stare at Yan Hua. Yan Hua just looks at them who make the table full of potato chips and snacks. Then she looks at her watch.

“It’s 12 o’clock in the evening. Aren’t you afraid of fatness when you eat them?”

Fei Ying opens a bag of potato chips, “We just do it for you. I heard eating junk food can change your mood to be better.”

“I’m in a good mood. Don’t change it.” Yan Hua can’t do anything but clean up the table and brews a pot of flower and fruit tea. “Don’t think too much. I’m really fine.”

Yan Hua does not tell them the relationship between Lang Ruoxian and Qiang Di. She does not want to explore any secrets in Lang Ruoxian. Even as a person with unknown origin, she can be accepted by them. Why should she have to find out others’ secrets?

“So, did she take the bracelet herself?” Fei Ying indignantly says, “I just said that this woman is not good. She is indeed a hypocrite.”

Chen Hong has a Look at Yan Hua. She feels that Yan Hua must conceals something and pats her on the shoulder, “It’s better that you are clear about it. Anyway, now you are free and not with Lang Ruoxian. There are still many men for you to choose.”

“To be honest, we want you to be with Lang Ruoxian. It’s mainly because of Gungun.”

Yan Hua nods, “I understand.”

If anyone in the world is not Gungun’s dad but regards him as his own son, that man must be Lang Ruoxian.

“But you can’t sacrifice your happiness just for Gungun, either.” Fei Ying throws away half of the potato chips. “Let’s say something happy. The designer has decided that he would come here and design it for us next week.”

“It’s May now. We can open the saloon in September. Gungun will go to kindergarten at that time. So I will have more time to do it.” Yan Hua looks at her cell phone. “I’ve found some tableware. I’ll send their pictures to you.”

No matter men or women will be full of passion to starting a business. When Fei Yi comes and urges them to go back, it is almost two o’clock in the middle of the night. Then they hurry to go to bed.

The next day, as Yan Hua wakes up, she sees a message from Lang Ruoxian. He says that today he would leave G City for two days and take Qiang Di to see the old friend. Yan Hua stares at the cell phone for a long time. Then she gets up with a thoughtful face.

“Mommy?” Gungun runs into the bathroom with his little bare feet, “Can we go to the playground today?”

Yan Hua hands him the electric toothbrush, “Who did you make an appointment with?”

“Brother Mingxi!” Gungun brushes his teeth and mumbles.

After Gungun rinses his mouth, Yan Hua says, “But Brother Mingxi says that Aunt Chen Hong is not free today. So we may not be able to go to the playground!”

“Hey, hey, hey...” Gungun laughs, “I said that Mommy could take us there!”

“Okay. Mommy will take you there. Let’s have breakfast soon!”
