This year's Lunar New Year is very early, Christmas is not long past, and the Spring Festival is just around the corner.

Naturally, he wanted to go back to City Y for the New Year. City y is not far from city a, usually it takes more than three hours to drive, and the roads are crowded during the New Year's Eve. Yi Chen and Mo Sheng set off in the morning, and it was already past one o'clock in the afternoon when they arrived in city y.

Noticing that the people around him had been quiet for a long time, Yi Chen couldn't help but turn his head. She had been nervous since yesterday, so why did she get better when she arrived in City Y?

Mo Sheng was staring out the car window in a daze, she didn't even feel Yi Chen's gaze resting on her for a long time.

Inexplicable emotion flashed across Yi Chen's eyes, he paused and suddenly called her. "Mo Sheng."

"Uh." It took Mo Sheng a while to react, and she turned around and asked him, "What?"

"Can you play mahjong"

Playing mahjong, Mo Sheng suspected that she had heard wrong.

"Auntie likes to play mahjong the most. If you don't know how, she will probably be disappointed." Yi Chenyun said in a calm tone, but deliberately said it seriously.

Mo Sheng was stunned for a moment, the thoughts that could not get rid of just now flew away, only the word "Mahjong" was left. "I'm not very good at what to do." Mo Sheng was extremely annoyed, "Why didn't you say it earlier, I'm not prepared at all."

"It's too late to prepare now." Yi Chen smiled slightly and stopped the car.

"Mo Sheng, we're here."

How long has she had such a lively New Year?

There was snow all over the sky outside the window, and the sound of firecrackers kept coming. The whole family sat together, having a New Year's Eve dinner, and listening to the old man's nagging.

"The older the two of you are, the less filial you are. One of you won't tell your mother if you have a boyfriend, and the other won't even tell you about your marriage."

Yi Mei made a funny face at Yi Chen, "Mom, you've been talking all afternoon."

"It's rare for the children to come back, so you let them have a good meal and don't keep chattering." Dad He said.

"I think you are tired of me?" Mama He turned to Dad He, and Dad He, who had been afraid of his wife all his life, immediately made a bitter face.

Zhang Xu on the other end couldn't understand the dialect, and kept arguing for Yi Mei to translate, but Yi Mei was annoyed, and a big man started playing tricks.

Mo Sheng listened with a smile, she was used to the deserted Chinese New Year abroad, in such a warm atmosphere, she felt afraid to speak.

After dinner, Mama He organized the family to play mahjong. Yi Chen hid in the study early on, and Yi Mei asked to wash the dishes, so only Dad He, Mo Sheng and the son-in-law who dared not resist took the stage.

He's mother is a veteran who has been fighting for decades, and her skills are profound. He's father has been a sparring partner for decades and is naturally not weak. It's just pitiful for Mo Sheng who has stayed abroad for so many years, has only a half-knowledge of the Chinese quintessence, joined the battle impromptuly, and lost in a mess.

Yi Chen couldn't believe it when he came out of the study, "You can lose like this in less than an hour."

Mo Sheng was extremely ashamed, and said dumbly: "Bad luck."

Yi Chen patted her on the shoulder and told her to stand up, "I'll do it."

This is called evenly matched, Mo Sheng watched more and more interesting, and refused to go to sleep when it was one o'clock. Yi Chen chased him away twice to no avail, in the end he just put on a straight face, and Mo Sheng had no choice but to go to sleep.

At night, Mo Sheng fell into a drowsy sleep, when she heard the sound of the door opening, she turned on the desk lamp. "Is it over won or lost"

Yi Chen lifted the quilt and lay down with a tired face. "Auntie lost alone."

Mo Sheng glared at him: "Why are you three big men so embarrassed?"

"He's family training says that there are no fathers and sons in casinos. Besides, Auntie won't rest until she loses everything." Yi Chen pulled her into his arms, "Go to sleep, I'm exhausted, it's all your fault."

Mo Sheng immediately felt extremely ashamed, usually he is extremely busy at work, and it is really pitiful that he has to suffer this kind of torture when he returns home for the New Year. So she obediently leaned into his arms to sleep and stopped disturbing him.

After a while, she felt his warm lips moving on the back of her neck, and Mo Sheng panted slightly, "Aren't you very tired?"

"Well." Yi Chen's voice was vague, "I can be a little more tired."

Mo Sheng woke up at 7 o'clock in the morning on the first day of the new year, sat up to get dressed, and was dragged into the quilt by Yi Chen.

"What are you doing up so early?" Yi Chen said wearily.

"Let go of making breakfast." Mo Sheng tried hard to break his big hands around her waist, but Yi Chen didn't even move his fingers, Mo Sheng gave up angrily. "Yi Chen"

"Sleep with me a little longer."

Mo Sheng really muttered. "Yi Chen, you're a little weird today."

Yi Chen's body froze, and he was silent for a few seconds, his voice was a bit unnatural. "What's wrong"

"Just like a child." Mo Sheng complained.

Yi Chen's fingers relaxed slightly. "Don't make trouble, go to sleep."

There seemed to be no one moving around outside, Mo Sheng compromised, she couldn't get away from him anyway. "Then I'll sleep for a while."

But this sleeping position is very uncomfortable

After closing her eyes for less than a minute, Mo Sheng became restless again, trying to push Yi Chen's arm under her head away.

How could a girl be like this when she sleeps? Yi Chen opened his eyes, "Can you stop moving?"

Mo Sheng had a sad face, and wanted to sleep on a pillow, which was softer and more comfortable.

"Yi Chen, sleeping like this will make your arms very sore."

She really knows how to "think for him", and the result of letting her sleep alone is probably the result of two people catching a cold together, so it's better to catch her and sleep peacefully. Yi Chen simply pretended he didn't hear it, closed his eyes and fell asleep by himself.

Mo Sheng stared at him for a long time, but still couldn't make a decision, and couldn't sleep, her eyes turned around in the room, and finally stopped on the handsome face in front of her.

Yi Chen is really pretty.

Kissing him quietly, Mo Sheng finally felt a little sleepy, thinking vaguely about getting up early later

In the end, when she opened her eyes again, it was already past ten o'clock, and Yi Chen was not on the bed. Mo Sheng got up quickly, put on her clothes and walked out of the room, Yi Chen and Father He were playing chess in the living room.

Mo Sheng called "Uncle" embarrassingly, and Father He nodded to her with a smile.

Mo Sheng walked to Yi Chen's side and complained to him softly. "Why didn't you call me"

"En, um." Yi Chen held the chess pieces in his hand, his mind was on the chessboard, he raised his head after placing the pieces and said, "Go to the kitchen and help Auntie."

"Oh." Mo Sheng poked her head to look at the kitchen, only He Ma was busy going around by herself. "good."

He Ma also smiled when she saw Mo Sheng coming in. "Xiaosheng got up, is he used to sleeping at night?"

Mo Sheng nodded quickly, she was probably the last one to get up, and she still wasn't used to "Auntie, I'll do this." She took the kitchen knife from He Mama's hand, and finely chopped up the shredded meat.

He Ma picked up the vegetables on the side to wash, and chatted with Mo Sheng at the same time, talking about homework, and after saying a few words, she suddenly let out an "oops", remembering a question that should have been asked a long time ago. "Look at my confusion, Xiaosheng, my parents-in-law and mother-in-law are also in this city, let's meet when we have dinner."

Mo Sheng was stunned, almost cut her finger, bit her lower lip, should she say it? Looking up and seeing He Ma's kind and kind smiling face, Mo Sheng really didn't want to deceive, so she decided to tell the truth.

"my dad"

"Mo Sheng."

The words that were about to come out were interrupted, and Yi Chen appeared at the kitchen door, his face was a little pale, and his jaw was tense.

"The sudden appearance of this child is scary." Mama He patted her chest.

Yi Chen's expression softened a bit, but his eyes did not relax at all. "Mo Sheng, where did you put my coat, I can't find it."

"Oh." Mo Sheng was stunned, washed his hands and went to the room.

The coat is hanging on the rack next to the bed, in a very conspicuous place, and you can see it as soon as you enter the room. Mo Sheng stood in a daze in front of the shelf, her heart turned and she didn't know what it was like.

Yi Chen took off the coat from behind her.

&

nbsp;"Don't think wildly. I just don't want them to have any thoughts about you." He sighed and said: "Mo Sheng, you have to have more confidence in me."

If there seemed to be no bitterness in the words, Mo Sheng was sore for a while, and she thought about it again.

"Yi Chen"

"I'd rather you be more sloppy and confused than think so much."

Mo Sheng looked up at him. "But then you will find me troublesome."

"You still have self-knowledge at last." Yi Chen rubbed her hair, "It's very troublesome."

But it won't hurt.

"Go out to eat, Auntie should have prepared the meal."

During the meal, He Ma asked about Mo Sheng's parents again, but Mo Sheng only said that her father was dead and her mother was abroad. Mama He sighed twice and didn't ask any more questions, she just wanted to persuade everyone to play three laps after meals, which is good for the body and mind. It's a pity that everyone didn't join in. Father He wanted to take a nap, and Yimei wanted to take Zhang Xu to the famous scenic spots in City Y, so Mother He had no choice but to let it go in resentment.

Yi Chen didn't get much sleep last night and used the afternoon to catch up on sleep. Mo Sheng wakes up late in the morning and has no sleepiness, so she flips through his old things to play while he is sleeping.

An old exam paper can also make Mo Sheng study for a long time, to see how his handwriting was at that time, and to see what questions he might make mistakes. There are also Yi Chen's previous compositions, Mo Sheng read one by one. Yi Chen's argumentative essays were written very well, basically around ninety, Mo Sheng thought about how her argumentative essays were only over sixty at a time, and couldn't help feeling jealous. Fortunately, his lyric writing is not very good, so he found some comfort.

When Yi Chen woke up, he saw Mo Sheng sitting on the wooden floor looking through his old things, and coughed to remind her. "Mrs. He, you are invading my privacy."

"Yi Chen, you're awake." Mo Sheng raised her head, her eyes were bright and she was full of interest. "What else is there to do"

She's really addicted to it. Yi Chen laughed, and pulled her up, "Don't sit on the floor."

Bending down to look through the scattered things on the ground, "Why is Auntie keeping these things away?"

"How old are you in this photo?" Mo Sheng handed him an old photo. In the photo, Yi Chen was still young, handsome and upright, wearing the school uniform of Y City No. 1 Middle School, holding a trophy.

"Probably participated in the National Physics Competition in the first year of high school."

"Didn't you study law in physics?"

"Well, but high school is science."

"If I knew you were in No. 1 Middle School, I would have gone to No. 1 Middle School." Mo Sheng said with infinite regret, "I could have gone to No. 1 Middle School, but then I thought it was too far away from home, so I definitely wouldn't be able to get up in the morning."

"It's a good thing you're lazy." Yi Chen's tone was definitely rejoicing, "Give me a clean high school."

Mo Sheng gave him a fierce look. "Are there any photos?"

Yi Chen took out a photo album from the upper cabinet, "Not many, our family doesn't like to take pictures."

The photo album is very old-fashioned, and it can be seen that it has aged. Opening the front page, there was a baby photo, with the words "Yi Chen's 100 days" written on it.

The baby in the photo is white and tender, with a slight frown between his brows, very bold. Mo Sheng stared blankly for a long time, then said in disbelief, "Yi Chen, so you were born so serious."

"The baby doesn't have any expression." Yi Chen frowned.

"Yes." Mo Sheng argued, "My father said that when I was young, I always smiled when I saw the camera."

Most of the photos in the back are group photos. The young woman is holding the child in her hands, snuggling up to her young husband, and facing the camera happily. Even though the photography skills were poor at that time, the beauty of women and the tall and handsome men were still vividly displayed. Yi Chen looks more like his father in appearance.

Mo Sheng didn't make another sound, silently flipped through the photo album that only had one, and looked up at Yi Chen silently.

"I'm fine." Yi Chen took the photo album from her hand, "It's been so long, no matter how much emotion there is, it will fade away."

Mo Sheng carefully looked into his eyes, and it took him a while to feel relieved. "Let's go see if they're okay"

"Wait until Tomb Sweeping Day." Yi Chen caressed her dog-like hair, "Wait until your hair grows neatly, or you'll really be an ugly wife."

The spring break was not long, and Mo Sheng was played by He Ma on the mahjong table most of the time, but unfortunately she didn't make any progress after a few days of intensive training, and she still forgot what she had in her hand after looking at the cards on the stage. When you look at your own cards, you don't know what others have played.

Yi Chen could only shake his head and sigh, he didn't know whether he was going to be ashamed of his wife's talent, or he was glad that she would at least not lose money on the mahjong table in the future.

Tomorrow he was going back to City A, Mo Sheng couldn't sleep that night, Yi Chen held her in his arms when she turned over for the third time.

"What are you thinking"

"Yi Chen." Mo Sheng was silent for a while in the dark, then whispered, "Have I told you about my mother?"

Yi Chen put his hands on her back, heavily. "No."

"Father and mother are very strange." After a pause to recall, Mo Sheng continued, "When I was a child, I felt that my mother didn't like me. It seemed that it was because of my father, but I didn't think too much about it. Later, when my father's incident happened, I was in America. My mother and I lost contact, and my father's old classmate told me that my mother and father divorced a month before the incident, and my father would commit suicide in prison, because my mother was also involved in it, and he didn't want to hurt her. That's why he died to bear all the charges."

Although it is no longer as unbelievable as when it was first heard, Mo Sheng's voice is still very depressed. "Although I knew there was a problem between them, I never thought it would be so serious."

Feeling her body trembling slightly, Yi Chen hugged her tightly: "Don't think about it once you've passed." Although he was good at eloquence, he was not good at comforting people, he just patted her lightly, as if he was coaxing a baby.

Mo Sheng imagined how Yi Chen was coaxing the child, and couldn't help laughing, and relieved a lot of the heaviness at once. "I'm not sad, I just thought that I'm very happy now, she still celebrates the New Year alone, I don't know what to do."

Yi Chen looked at the ceiling, his eyes were indifferent in the dark night, but his tone was as soft as the night. "If you're worried, go and have a look tomorrow morning."

"En." Mo Sheng was a little sleepy, leaned against his chest, and said in a weary voice, "At least tell her that I'm fine."

The next morning, Yi Chen and Mo Sheng bid farewell to their reluctant father and mother and set out on their way home. Yi Mei and Zhang Xu went to work earlier than them, and had already left the day before yesterday.

Before leaving City Y, they went to Qinghe New Village, but this time they seemed to miss out again, Mo Sheng knocked on the door for several minutes but no one answered.

"Would you like to wait a while"

Mo Sheng shook her head and said: "Forget it, let's go."

The stairs in the old-fashioned buildings are narrow and long. When going downstairs, Mo Sheng said with experience: "You need to walk slowly on this kind of stairs, otherwise you will bump into people at the corner."

Yi Chen glanced at her. "How many times have you hit"

"Mo Sheng murmured, "It's okay, not many times."

That's many times, and walking without looking at people is also one of her problems. Yi Chen stretched out his hand to touch her cheek, looked left and right, and let out a sigh of relief. "It's a good thing it didn't crash."

Mo Sheng made a face at him.

Sitting in the car, Mo Sheng looked back at the old building, feeling a little sad in her heart. I still haven't seen her this time. Although she and her mother are mother and daughter, the fate may still be too shallow.

The car was about to leave the gate of the community, Mo Sheng casually looked out of the car window, but quickly shouted after a glance: "Yi Chen stop."

Yi Chen stepped on the brakes, and the high-performance car stopped in the shortest possible time, Mo Sheng opened the door and chased after him. Yi Chen didn't get out of the car, and saw in the rearview mirror that she was catching up to a thin middle-aged woman tens of meters away.

Suddenly a feeling of irritability arose in his heart, he subconsciously reached into his pocket for a cigarette, but found nothing, and then remembered that he planned to completely quit smoking, which was not a big addiction in the first place, and did not put cigarettes on his body at all. He closed his eyes and sighed and leaned back on the seat, turned on the speaker in the car, and soft music played out, soothing people's hearts.

When he heard the same piano piece for countless times, there was a knock on the window, Yi Chen opened his eyes and saw Mo Sheng, and rolled down the window.

"I just told my mother that I'm married, do you want to meet up?" Mo Sheng asked him.

Yi Chen silently nodded.

In the distance, Mo Sheng's mother, Pei Fangmei, watched her daughter and a tall and straight young man walking towards her from a distance. She had poor eyesight and couldn't see his face clearly, but she had a faint feeling that he had an outstanding temperament. From Xiao Sheng's point of view Good eyesight.

It's just that Pei Fangmei frowned, just now Xiaosheng said that his name is He Yichen

He Yichen, why does this name always give her a sense of familiarity?

In the blink of an eye, he was already in front of him, and Pei Fangmei could see clearly that he was indeed a good-looking talent.

Mo Sheng introduced them to each other.

"My mother."

"He is the He Yichen I mentioned."

"Hello." Yi Chen greeted lightly.

Pei Fangmei's thoughtful gaze rested on him, and the feeling that something was wrong became more and more intense. She smiled quite reservedly and said, "You are He Yichen and Xiao Sheng has a good eye."

"Mmm." Mo Sheng was slightly embarrassed.

They didn't talk, and Mo Sheng had nothing to say. What I want to ask is taboo and I dare not ask, and the words of greeting are just a few words and then there is no more.

"Yi Chen, did you bring your business card?" Mo Sheng remembered and asked.

Yi Chen nodded and said, "It's in the car, I'll get it."

On the back of the business card Yi Chen brought, she hurriedly wrote her mobile phone number, and Mo Sheng handed it to her mother, "This is my contact information, you can call me if you want to find me."

Pei Fangmei took it, glanced at it and said, "Since you are in a hurry to leave, I won't keep you."

"En." Mo Sheng replied, hesitated for a while and said: "Then let's go."

Saying goodbye to her mother in a hurry and getting back in the car, Mo Sheng's expression was much more natural than before. "It's great to be able to do this." After all, it's been eight years since she left, and this kind of polite meeting made her feel relaxed.

Yi Chen didn't pay attention to what she said for a moment, he thought of Pei Fangmei's thoughtful look just now, and doubts abounded in his heart, did she recall something?

Seeing that he hadn't driven for a long time, Mo Sheng couldn't help but push his hand. "Driver Yichen, have you returned to Earth?"

Looking at him with a smile in his bright eyes, Yi Chen's doubts were still there, and he started to have a headache again. Why has he felt more and more recently that some personality of a certain person that used to give him headaches is resurfacing?

Is it true that the country is easy to change and the nature is difficult to change?

Facts have proved that the words of the ancients are very reasonable and his hunch is also very correct.

Twenty-seven-year-old Zhao Mosheng is of course much more sensible than when he was ten years old, but certain minor problems that Yi Chen was familiar with obviously have not gone away with age, for example, he is a rascal when he cannot be reasoned with, for example I like to cling to him more and more, for example, I pick out all the dishes I don't like, for example

Well, Lawyer He secretly admitted that he actually enjoyed it. Moreover, it is really not easy to bring back her petty temper.

The wedding banquet was scheduled for one and a half months later, and Yi Chen planned to rest for a period of time after the wedding banquet, so during this period he was busy finishing what he could do with his work, throwing what he could throw at others, and the special invitation from "Legal Time" The guest host has already been turned down. As for the preparations for the wedding banquet, drafting the list, booking the hotel, etc., Yi Chen basically took care of all the troublesome things, compared to Mo Sheng, it was a bit too relaxed.

In fact, these things can be handed over to a specialized wedding company, but Yi Chen obviously prefers to do it himself.

Of course, Mo Sheng also had a headache, she couldn't find a bridesmaid.

Yi Mei couldn't do it, she got her marriage certificate as soon as Chinese New Year.

Xiaohong is even worse, Mo Sheng has been knocked out by her several times with reasons such as "concealing the real marriage status of the kind and pure people", and she mentioned it to her once, Xiaohong screamed: "No, no more I'll never get married as a bridesmaid"

The terrified expression made Mo Sheng feel that she had committed a serious crime.

And Xiao Xiao, after she got the news from Yi Chen, she called Mo Sheng, her tone was much gentler than the last time they met, and she also said that she wanted to be a matchmaker.

In short, not as a bridesmaid.

The final choice was a bit of a surprise.

That night, Yi Chen was reading some exhausting materials in the bedroom, and he clearly ordered Mo Sheng not to disturb him.

Mo Sheng lay down on the bed to write invitations, the list was drawn up by Yi Chen, she just had to copy it neatly. But what is this character? Yi Chen wrote it so sloppily.

Mo Sheng held the paper and looked at it horizontally and vertically for a long time.

do not know.

Biting the tip of the pen, do you want to ask Yi Chen to look up and see how concentrated he is?

He seems to have said not to quarrel with him

Forget it, don't ask, just skip it first.

Of course Mo Sheng is not such an obedient person, when she was in college, she was best at obedience and disobedience. But at that time, Yi Chen would put on a bad face at most, and then reprimand him a few words. It's different now that she's married, some of Yi Chen's "punishment" methods are absolutely unrestricted, to be honest, Mo Sheng is really afraid of him.

Mo Sheng blushed a little at the thought, she could never have imagined this kind of Yi Chen before.

But Mo Sheng couldn't help it after copying so boringly, took a piece of white paper, and brushed and wrote.

"Yi Chen, you caused me to have a quarrel with my colleagues."

Write it down and hand it to him.

This is not talking to him.

Yi Chen didn't intend to talk to her at first, so he raised his eyebrows and scanned the words on the note. It seemed to be more serious, so he picked up a pen and wrote "what?"

"Tao Yijing, you know, now that she knows that you and I have known each other before, she is very angry and thinks that I deliberately concealed it from her, but what should I say when we were like that at that time."

Yi Chen rubbed the center of his brows, and wrote "very serious" on the small note

"Well, it's very serious. I took a chance to explain it carefully to her, and asked her to be a bridesmaid. She agreed, but she said she would not give red envelopes." A very pitiful crying face was drawn behind.

It was really serious.

Yi Chen threw the little note in the trash can, and pulled her up: "I think you are so boring."

She was trapped in his arms, held by his waist, smiling and trying to get up, with her hands on his chest, the fragrance after bathing filled his nostrils

Yi Chen was obsessed for a moment.

All this is his longing, from now on no matter what he will not let go.

A few days before the wedding banquet, an unexpected guest came to the office.

Yi Chen just came back from work that day, Mei Ting saw him and immediately said: "Lawyer He, there is a lady who has been waiting for you for a long time."

Yi Chen looked in the direction she pointed. The visitor saw that he had stood up, and nodded gracefully to him, it was Mo Sheng's mother, Pei Fangmei.

"Please take your time." Mei Ting put the tea on the coffee table in front of Pei Fangmei.

"Thank you." Pei Fangmei bowed slightly. As the wife of the former mayor, she is undoubtedly decent and generous.

Mei Ting gently closed the door, and the office immediately fell into a strange silence.

Pei Fangmei looked at the silent young man sitting behind the desk, and first said, "We met in a hurry last time, you should remember who I am."

"Of course." Yi Chen replied flatly. "Mrs. Zhao."

The cold address made Pei Fangmei more suspicious, and she said with a more gentle expression: "You don't have to be too extravagant. Since you are married to Xiaosheng, you should call me mother-in-law."

Yi Chen smiled slightly, but didn't say a word.

Pei Fangmei smiled and said, "If you are not used to it for a while, you can also call me Ms. Pei."

"Ms. Pei." This time Yi Chen followed suit, "I'm curious about your reason for coming."

Pei Fangmei took a sip of tea with a calm expression. "Just a few words last time, Xiao Sheng

So I have a lot of compliments on you. I just came here to have a look and learn more about it. Lawyer He doesn't need to be a warlord. "

"Mo Sheng should be very happy to hear that you care about her so much."

Pei Fangmei looked at this junior with sharp eyes, and said with a friendly smile, "You are wronging Xiaosheng."

Yi Chen remained expressionless. "Mo Sheng has never felt wronged, so why should I make such a fuss."

"Indeed." Pei Fangmei frowned lightly, sighed and said, "Since I was a child, I have never fulfilled my mother's responsibilities. On the one hand, I am busy with my career, and on the other hand, my relationship with her father is not very good, so it is inevitable that I will be negligent. Fortunately, this child is not so sensitive, and finally grew up healthy and healthy."

She paused, seeming to be quite emotional, and then said: "Actually, I intend to make up for it now, but I don't know if there is still a chance."

Faced with her sincere words, Yi Chen remained indifferent, "If Ms. Pei wants to express her mother's love, why bother to look far away, I think it would be more straightforward for you to go to Mo Sheng."

Pei Fangmei looked at his expression carefully: "You seem to be quite hostile to me."

"Probably your illusion."

Cold field.

Pei Fangmei picked up the teacup again, blew on the tea leaves, and said for a while, "I don't know what profession He Lumu is engaged in. If there is a chance, why don't we make an appointment to meet formally?"

"It's probably not possible, my parents have already passed away." Yi Chen said calmly.

"Oh, I'm very sorry." Pei Fangmei's tone was apologetic, but there was no surprise in her eyes, as if she already knew it. She pondered for a moment and asked, "They died of illness."

At this moment, a feeling of boredom hit Yichen's heart.

Actually speaking of now, Yi Chen is already very clear about Pei Fangmei's reason for coming. She probably already recognized who he was, but she didn't know if he knew what happened back then, so she spied on him in a roundabout way. Of course Yi Chen could pretend not to know, but now he suddenly got tired of going around in circles like this.

"Ms. Pei." He said in a flat tone, "Why do you have to go around such a big circle, why don't you just ask me, do I know that my father's death is related to Mayor Zhao?"

As soon as these words came out, Pei Fangmei's gentle and kind mask instantly fell off, she stood up abruptly, and said sternly, "You really know why you married Xiaosheng to take revenge on us"

"I don't think I need to tell you why I got married." Facing her questioning, Yi Chen said coldly: "Besides, I don't have the patience to weave such a long revenge."

Pei Fangmei looked at his expression suspiciously, and said for a long time, "I don't believe you."

Yi Chen said unceremoniously: "It doesn't matter to me whether you trust me or not."

Pei Fangmei choked, stunned for a while and said, "Does Xiaosheng know about this?"

"She is not suitable to know these things, and she will never know." Yi Chen said flatly. He had already decided that even if they were not together in the end, he would not tell her these things. He alone is enough to carry these things. So when Mo Sheng asked him what her father said to him last time, he deliberately misled her.

"Actually, that incident back then was always an accident, and no one expected it to end up like this." Pei Fangmei's tone softened. After all, people were killed in the end, so Pei Fangmei was very impressed with the He family back then. More than ten years later, as soon as Mo Sheng mentioned the name He Yichen, Pei Fangmei felt that she had known him before. After seeing his appearance, she became more skeptical. Under the anxiety, she did some investigation, and it turned out that he was the ten-year-old son of the He family back then. But she didn't know if he knew about the past when he was young at that time, that's why he had today's spying.

Her words were so lacking in confidence, Yi Chen no longer bothered to argue. Standing up and opening the window, the fresh air from outside rushed in. Looking out from the window on the tenth floor, the sky was high and the clouds were clear, and the field of vision was empty, and Yi Chen felt less bored.

Yi Chen was only ten years old when his father died. Although he was smart at a young age, he was not good enough to understand the complexity of the world. I just remember that one day when I came back from school, my father who was fine in the morning was lying in the hospital covered in blood, and he was not breathing. Immediately afterwards, his already frail mother died of illness, and he suddenly became an orphan without father and mother. Fortunately, his father's neighbor and comrade-in-arms adopted him, and he gradually understood all the reasons when he grew up.

Yi Chen's father borrowed money from the bank to invest in real estate in the late 1980s. However, halfway through the construction of the building, the bank had to withdraw the money early due to changes in the credit policy. At that time, Zhao Qingyuan was the president of the bank in city y, and the local bank president had the right to instruct whether the loan should be withdrawn in advance. He's father made various activities, and Zhao Qingyuan finally agreed to renew him, but in a blink of an eye, the money was gone. However, the funds for He's father's activities were in vain, and the half-built building suddenly became an unfinished building. At this time, the construction team and material dealers came to ask for debts. Father He accidentally fell down the unfinished building while escaping, and died on the spot.

At that time, President Zhao, who only ate but didn't vomit, later made his way to the top, all the way to the mayor. Although he did not directly cause the death of Yi Chen's father, it was undoubtedly the source of a series of tragedies. My aunt often watched Zhao Qingyuan who was speaking on TV and said to him, "Yi Chen, wait, bad people will have bad retribution."

Yi Chen couldn't forget his complex emotions when he found out that Mo Sheng was actually Zhao Qingyuan's daughter, absurd, angry, ridiculous, countless turbulent negative emotions could no longer be controlled to vent to her when he saw Mo Sheng. Maybe it was mixed with self-loathing towards himself, because even then, he still didn't want to break up.

Those momentarily intense words made my heart ache like twists, what about Mo Sheng?

And I regretted it almost immediately.

Yi Chen frowned slightly, he couldn't bear to look back on the past. He was still young at that time, no matter how young and mature he was, he was only twenty years old, and he didn't know how to control and hide his emotions. Now he will never repeat the same mistakes.

The owner exudes a clear message of eviction. Pei Fangmei found out that it was completely wrong for her to come here. If he had no intention of revenge, her appearance would be superfluous. If he really wanted revenge, what could she do to stop her now?

But after all, she was not reconciled to returning without success, she lowered her voice and said softly: "I hope you can give me a promise. Although I am not close to Xiao Sheng, I am still her mother after all."

There was no reply for a long time.

Pei Fangmei had always been proud and arrogant, bowing her head for Mo Sheng was already the limit, now she stood up and said: "If that's the case, then I'm leaving."

She got up and walked towards the door, and when she was about to close the doorknob, she heard the bland statement from the aggressive young man.

"They gave me ten years, and I want to be silent for the rest of my life." His voice was filled with an indescribable exhaustion, he paused and said, "I succumb to the warmth of reality."

Pei Fangmei was stunned at first, then realized that this was the promise she wanted, she turned around. The young man standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows was shrouded in a layer of pale golden sunlight, which only gave her a desolate silhouette. Before Pei Fangmei had time to say anything, he heard his faint request again.

"Mo Sheng likes to think wildly, please don't let her notice these things."

The calm in the office had been restored, but Yi Chen was unable to devote himself to work for a while. Looking at the time, it is almost time to leave work, so I simply close the file and leave it for tomorrow.

The phone in his pocket beeped, it was the ringtone of a text message.

It must be Mo Sheng.

It was her who turned on the phone.

"Yi Chen, today I will give you a bonus, treat you to dinner, and I'll be downstairs right away."

Yi Chen smiled slightly, and it seemed that someone's triumphant look was right in front of him. Just as he was about to call her back, the phone rang, and when he finished answering the call, there were two more text messages on his phone.

"Don't answer me, you won't be here"

"Poor mobile phone, where did Yi Chen throw you again?"

So impatient.

Yi Chen couldn't help shaking his head, he only answered a call for more than ten minutes, and he quickly replied "No need to come up, wait for me downstairs."

Yi Chen stood in front of the window, waiting for Mo Sheng to appear in his sight.

It seems that Yi Mei once asked him why he could wait so patiently.

In fact, waiting has nothing to do with time, it is a habit, it grows freely, and he is powerless to resist.

Mo Sheng had already appeared in his field of vision with the camera on her back. She was standing under the shade of a tree opposite, pressing her phone with her head down.

After a while, a new short message appeared on Yi Chen's cell phone.

—— "Yi Chen, I'm here, come down quickly, old rules, I'll count to one thousand..."
