After the divorce, the boss doted on me

During the meal, Tan Man asked about the incident at the doctor a few days ago, Qiao Sen seemed to have let go, and talked to her about the details.

She didn't say much during the meal, but Tan Man always felt that Qiao Sen seemed to have something to say, but he hesitated to say it. She guessed that it was not what she wanted to hear, so she simply pretended not to see it.

After dinner, the car drove directly back to Tan Man's residence.

He turned off the ignition, got out of the car with her, and went straight to the trunk to get her suitcase.

"Thank you for taking me back. I'm a little tired today, so I won't invite you to sit up." Tan Man dragged the suitcase, ready to say goodbye to him.

The two stood at the gate of the yard, not paying attention to a pair of figures walking slowly under the shade of a tree not far away.

"It's Manman!" Xiaobei, who was led by Gu Mochen, saw Tan Man across the street, and stretched out his little finger in surprise.

Gu Mochen was also surprised when he saw her. Although he came here with the excuse of bringing Xiaobei to find her, he was still a little excited when he met her like this.

However, when he saw Qiao Sen's figure appearing next to her, he frowned subconsciously.

"Wait, Manman has friends, we'll go there later." He grabbed Xiaobei and walked to the dark place under the street light, where he could hear them talking without being noticed.

At this time, Qiao Sen suddenly reached out and pressed the handle of the trolley case, looking at her solemnly, Tan Man was startled by his sudden action.

"what happened?"

"Manman, whether you say I'm selfish or gloating, I'm glad that he didn't see you well."

Tan Man was stunned, how could Qiao Sen know.

"What did Qiao Ning tell you?!"

"Don't blame her, I know you two are good friends who talk about everything, but she is also my sister after all, and it is reasonable to help me." Through the dim streetlight, Qiao Sen's eyes fell on hers. On the ear, "Manman, maybe some people dislike it and don't like it, but in my heart, it is more perfect than anyone else's ear, because its owner is so kind and beautiful, so it can hear the happiness and pain in other people's hearts, And lend a helping hand without hesitation.”

"I don't mind if you can hear or not, even if one day you can't hear anything, isn't it still there?" Qiao Sen shook his hand, "In another month, my sign language course will be finished gone."

It only takes a second to be a little heartbroken, but this second never appeared when she was facing Qiao Sen, no matter what he did for her.

Tan Man looked at Qiao Sen distressedly and helplessly. Facing his countless confessions, she was a little powerless.

After a long silence, she said slowly: "Qiao Sen, I am really grateful for your kindness to me, but it is really limited to gratitude. You already know my answer, you..."

"Manman, stop talking. I'm not forcing you to make a decision. It's just that as long as I think I still have a chance, I won't give up easily. Also, don't be depressed because of the ear. Well, it's getting late , you are tired too, go back early."

When he turned to get in the car, Tan Man belatedly said "be careful on the road", and was blown in the cold wind along with the dust rolled up by the wheels.

Gu Mochen's eyes are as deep as the night at this moment, bottomless.

Their conversations are all in my ears, and he naturally knows you, me, and him in the middle, but should he be happy now, or should he blame himself, or justify himself.

"My friend is gone!" Seeing that Tan Man was already heading for the stairs, Xiaobei immediately grabbed Gu Mochen's hand and walked into the yard.

Gu Mochen held Xiaobei back: "Let's find Manman tomorrow, she just came home and is tired."

"Don't!" Xiaobei, who had endured for so long, couldn't bear it anymore, broke free from him, and ran towards the yard.

Tan Man, who was walking to the stairs, heard an immature child's voice calling her. At first, she thought she had an auditory hallucination, but the voice got closer and closer. She turned her head, and Xiaobei's eyes came into her sight.

"Xiao Bei?" She asked in surprise, "Why did you come?"

After finishing speaking, he subconsciously looked behind the child, and sure enough, Gu Mochen's tall figure appeared in the night.

"My brother said to take me..."

"Xiaobei is clamoring to see you!"

She didn't know whether it was his voice that interrupted Xiaobei's words or covered them up. In short, after seeing each other again after a few days, her heart was pounding out of rhythm.

She glanced at him and quickly lowered her eyes: "Oh."

"Have you been on a business trip these days?"

"Correct."

Gu Mochen couldn't help frowning at her single-word answers.

At this time, Xiaobei raised his hand, held the Yuqiao juice that he had just bought specially for her in front of her, and said in a childish voice, "Here, let's each have a cup."

Tan Man bent down and stroked his little head, took the cup of hot Yuqiao juice: "Thank you!"

"My brother bought it, thank him!"

She was stunned for a moment, looked up at Gu Mochen, and said with a smile: "Then do you want to sit up for a while?"

"it is good!"

Gu Mochen didn't want to be polite anymore, he took a step forward and lifted the suitcase for her very naturally.

"It's okay, let me come. I have to go up to the sixth floor, and there's no elevator yet." Tan Man held on to the suitcase.

"Then you should lift it up for me." With a calm expression on his face, he raised his chin towards the stairs ahead, "Let's go, you can take care of Xiaobei for me."

Tan Man didn't insist anymore, and led Xiao Bei to the front.

She was usually out of breath when she walked to the fourth floor, but today she didn't take a breath even when she walked outside the iron gate of her house. To be exact, she didn't dare. uneasy.

"Come in, the house is a bit messy, don't make jokes." She entered the door first, turned on the lights and heating, then took off the thick down jacket and put it on the armrest of the sofa.

The white ceiling light in the center of the hall was lit up, and the small space came into view instantly. Gu Mochen looked down and lowered his head. There was a pair of women's slippers that didn't fit well in the shoe cabinet by the door. He hesitated for a moment, but put on up.

"It's okay, you don't need to change your shoes, I don't have any suitable for you."

"It doesn't matter."

Tan Man looked at the pair of pink slippers on his feet, the scene was so funny that she suddenly wanted to laugh, but his self-cultivation will always soften her heart inadvertently.

As soon as Xiaobei entered the door, he got in, and was immediately attracted by a Newton billiard ball perpetual motion on the living room cabinet, and studied it with great interest.

"Xiaobei, don't move things around." Gu Mochen followed behind, and then entered the door, admonishing in a calm voice.

Xiaobei glanced at him with some grievances, then looked up at Tan Man.

"It's okay, let's play!" Tan Man smiled brightly at Xiaobei, then turned her head to look at Gu Mochen, her smile faded, "Lawyer Gu, sit down wherever you want, I'll make some hot water and make tea."

"Don't bother, we'll leave in a while."

Tan Man didn't answer, and went into the kitchen with the kettle.

Gu Mochen didn't sit down, but put his hands in the pockets of his suit trousers. When her petite figure disappeared from sight, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. For some reason, ever since he saw her, he felt inexplicably nervous.

He looked around, the living room is not big, but it's not "a little messy" as she said, the house is neatly tidy, there are some girls' knick-knacks on the table and sofa, small pillows, pink, blue Yes, the bright yellow one is exactly her style, and he, who is used to seeing cool colors, actually thinks this match is very pleasing to the eye and very warm.

Following the light, he also walked into the kitchen. Tan Man was rinsing the teapot and cups behind his back, her shoulder-length black hair twitching mischievously around her neck.

"Where did you go on a business trip?"

Tan Man paused when she heard the sound, then turned around, he was leaning against the wooden cabinet next to her, looking straight at her, the small kitchen seemed even smaller.

"Beijing." She lowered her head again, pretending to be calm, and continued to rinse the teapot in her hand.

Gu Mochen didn't speak any more, the sound of rushing water made the atmosphere a little less awkward.

After dawdling for a while, she was about to turn off the faucet, so she mustered up the courage to turn around and said, "Sit outside."

Gu Mochen suddenly stretched out his hand to grab her forearm, Tan Man opened her eyes wide and looked at him puzzled.

"Lift your face up a little more, let me see your wound."

While speaking, he had let go of her hand.

Tan Man was taken aback, but still raised her face obediently, holding her breath, not knowing where to place her gaze more appropriately.

At this moment, she felt water dripping from the teapot in her left hand and the cup in her right hand, and the icy cold water dripped through her cotton stockings, making her feel moist but not cold.

She was thinking, in the next second, would Gu Mochen reach out to lift her chin like the male lead in an idol drama, or gently caress her cheek near the wound? If so, what should she do? , probably will blush and heartbeat to petrification directly.

But the fact is that he didn't do anything, just carefully looked at the small wound on his face for two seconds, and even the distance and eyes to check the wound were quite well controlled, without any overstepping or embarrassing behavior.

"It's scabbed." He looked away, and Tan Man also lowered her head.

She nodded, "Yeah."

"Don't scratch, it will leave scars."

With scars, it is even more imperfect, how could she not know.

Tan Man raised her head again, with the courage she didn't know where she came from, and said with a smile: "I have a scar, you shouldn't just fire me right away?!"

Gu Mochen was startled, and subconsciously frowned.

"Are you mad?" he asked.

Tan Man didn't expect him to ask such a question, and the atmosphere became a little awkward.

"I was joking," she said.

"I don't know if it's my illusion, but you seem to have emotions for me."

She hesitated for a moment, then smiled: "It's your illusion, how could I have feelings for you, Lawyer Gu."

Throughout the night, her tone was alienated, which made him feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

"Manman,..."

"Let's go out and talk, Xiao Bei is outside alone."

In this small space, Tan Man was afraid that she would reveal her thoughts accidentally, so she walked out first.

Back in the living room, Xiaobei was still playing with that Newton billiard ball intently. Tan Man took out a box of tea from the drawer and prepared to make tea. Gu Mochen said, "You don't need to make tea, just drink a cup of hot water."

Hearing this, Tan Man didn't insist anymore, poured a cup of hot water into the glass, put it in front of his seat, poured a small half cup into his own cup, and then slowly put the kettle back to its original position, and just acted nonchalantly when he was done. He looked up at him eagerly: "What did you want to say just now?"

Knowing that she did it on purpose, he sighed lightly: "It's okay."
