wife

Bounced away from Naying's arms as if she had noticed something, and hurriedly wiped away her tears, Hyunja turned her head to the side, and then slightly turned back after a while, quietly lowering her face.

Time has passed for a long time, but it seems to be condensed in this moment.Naying sat in the driver's seat, just staring.

The flickering thick eyelashes cast a shadow, which is covering up the strength in the eyes, so outsiders only see the docile silhouette with bowed head.Hyunja's beauty is gentle, like water, and water is something that even the sharpest sword can't cut.

She often looked at Xianzi, but she had never been so thrilled like this moment, her heart was beating fast, as if her reason would leave her thinking the next moment, and she would make some incredible actions.

"Why do you keep looking at me?" Xianzi tilted his head, his face was slightly flushed by the sunlight.

Naying took a deep breath. "It's already class, why don't you get out of the car?"

Hyun Ja lowered his head even lower, and hurriedly grabbed the door handle, another sound came from his ear.

"It's been so long since I've been in class, is it too late to go in now?" Hearing the playful tone, he realized that he was being teased. Hyunja glanced back, but saw Naying's sincere expression. "Hyunja, don't leave."

His fingers clasped the handle, and after hesitating for a while, he let go.Still maintaining that posture of bowing his head, he sat quietly in the car.

Naying felt that if she didn't say anything, she would be scorched by the gradually rising temperature inside the car.She never knew that winter in England was so hot.

"Hmm..." Hearing Naying's soft reply, Hyunja raised his head and looked at her in bewilderment. "Let's go get something to eat, okay, I'm not full at noon."

Xianzi nodded, smiling faintly. "Okay. I want to eat udon noodles."

They drove around a few times on the road, found a Korean restaurant and sat down, and ordered a few side dishes besides udon noodles.Naying gave Hyunja all the fried shrimp in the bowl.

"Aren't you going to eat?" Even though he said so, Hyunja didn't have the slightest intention to turn back the fried shrimp that fell into the bowl.

"You like fried shrimp, right?" Seeing Hyunja raise her eyebrows, Naying smiled even more happily. "Do you still remember the first time we ate noodles, and this is what we ordered. I saw you eating fried shrimp, biting slowly, reluctant to eat it all at once. I was thinking, you must like fried shrimp. "

If she said when she fell in love with Xianzi, it was the first time Xianzi came to look for her at the door of the company, standing in front of the glass window to arrange her appearance, and she saw the surprise when she suddenly looked back.This woman is very simple, but she is very moving when she is seriously dressed.Perhaps at first he treated Hyunja as a real rival in love, and he also stared at her intently when eating noodles that time.

Not looking at the smiling face, Hyunja poked the fried shrimp in the bowl with his chopsticks. "What if I eat slowly because I don't like it?"

"If it's something you don't like, you will stop your chopsticks first, and then put the food back into the bowl. Although it's annoying, you won't swallow it in one bite, but you will chew it for two or three bites, probably for digestion. But you like to eat There are a lot of things and things I don’t like to eat, so it took me a long time to distinguish them.” Naying moved her chopsticks, and did not forget to put the side dishes into Xianzi’s bowl.

"There are many things I like, but there are also many things I dislike..." Hyun-ja smiled foolishly at the bowl, and then raised her head pretending to be serious after a while. "So listen, I like grilled squid and marshmallows best, and I'm going to eat these things with me in the future."

"Why are they all snacks?" Naying's face was helpless, but her eyes were full of tenderness, and she just said something stupid. "child."

When Xianzi used his chopsticks hard, the fried shrimp broke in two.Put half of it into Naying's bowl, and poked several small holes in it before taking the chopsticks away.

Looking at the half fried shrimp, Naying seemed happier than seeing any treasure, and the warm feeling in her heart swelled.She doesn't want to stop.

The car turned a corner and approached the house. After turning off the lights and the engine, the people in the car had no intention of getting out of the car.Hyunja lowered her head to look at her hands lying flat on her knees. Naying looked at Hyunja like this, and turned her eyes to the home where the lights were still on.

Sighed slightly. "You know what? I'm actually afraid to go home."

Naying put her head on the driver's seat and moved into a comfortable position. "Life has changed a lot. When I was in college, I chose Shang Zhen because I thought he was a family-oriented person. But after getting married, we didn't spend much time together. He was going abroad to study for a degree. Going around giving lectures, then getting into a car accident and nothing happened... From then on, I started to feel like home was a scary place.”

"Every night I think, can I run away from this house? Don't care about other people's faces, don't care about other people's feelings, who in this family will care about my mood? But when I run from the alley After walking a certain distance, I had no choice but to walk back home, because I have nowhere to go, and this home is my responsibility.” After speaking excitedly, Naying was silent for a while, then smiled. "Isn't home supposed to be a warm place? But why do I feel so stressed every time I walk in the door."

Xianzi clasped his hands and spoke slowly. "When I opened the door and came out that day, were you also thinking about running away?"

Naying withdrew her eyes, her gentle eyes were full of caution. "It's not about running away, what I'm thinking about is how to step in."

Clenching his hands suddenly, Xianja lowered his head to avoid Naying's gaze, and after a while he said with difficulty: "Let's go in."

Naying took a deep breath and looked up at this so-called "home".

As soon as he entered the door, Shang Xi immediately approached quietly. "Sister-in-law, let me tell you, Mom talked to Xian Bi this afternoon, and after coming back, Mom has been in a bad mood..."

"Shang Xi, what are you doing!" Song Shi roared angrily, Shang Xi winked at Na Ying and quickly backed away, only to see Song Shi said sternly: "Come with me to the room, Na Ying, I have I want to tell you something."

Signaling Hyunja not to worry, Naying and Song walked into the room.As soon as she entered the room, Song Shi looked at her solemnly.

"I'll just ask you straight to the point, what is your plan for letting that woman stay here?"

Naying replied neither humble nor overbearing. "I think Eun Pyo should be taken care of by Hyun Ja."

"I also met Seung-sook this afternoon. She said that you kept Seo Hyun-ja by your side for revenge. If this is the case, Naying, let go and let that woman live her own life. If you don't like It’s troublesome to take care of Eunpyo by yourself, so let Eunpyo come back to Korea, and I can take care of him too…”

Hearing these words, Naying immediately understood that her mother-in-law had actually come here for a favor.At the beginning, her mother-in-law insisted on moving Enbiao into the Han family's household registration, but now she wants to take Enbiao away again, saying that everything is just because Enbiao is the eldest grandson of the Han family.

"Shang Zhen has passed away, and the custody of the child is legally obtained by the mother. If you want to leave, Xianzi will leave the Han family with Enbiao."

Unexpectedly, the wife's rebuttal made Song's eyes widen. "Naying, what are you talking about!"

"Please don't mention this again, Mom. No matter what, I will keep Hyun Ja and Eun Pyo by my side. It's not for revenge, but because they are my family." Na Ying spoke loudly and looked at her with firm eyes. mother-in-law. "So I ask Mom to come to the UK less often in the future."

Song was furious for a moment, surprise and fear intertwined into a blue and white look on his face. "you……"

"Hyun Ja and I will take good care of Eun Pyo and Min Joo." After saying this, Na Ying stood up resolutely. Song did not expect Na Ying to resist so much, and was shocked to see her walk out of the room and close the door forcefully.

But when the door closed, Naying's tears almost welled up.She felt aggrieved in her heart, she had always fulfilled her duties as a good daughter-in-law of the Han family, and she had given everything to the family. If she really lacked something, she would just stay up late and work all year round and not be able to go home often.But today her mother-in-law came to ask her for a favor. On the surface, she said it was to relieve her worries, but she was full of distrust, and even proposed to take the favor back to Korea.

When Shang Zhen was alive, her mother-in-law wanted her to take Enbiao abroad, but now she has a different attitude.Perhaps she will always be an outsider, always just the wife of her son.

Naying sat in the room blankly, obviously she should have a lot of tears, but she let out a sigh.Tired, too tired to even complain.

There was a knock on the door, and there was only one person who was so careful and hesitant.Naying patted her face, trying to express a gentle tone. "The door is unlocked, please come in."

Pushing it open softly, and then closing it quietly, Xianja just stood at the door, looking at Naying with unconcealable concern.

Naying patted the side of the bed. "Come and sit."

Sitting next to Naying, Hyunja didn't say anything, but Naying spoke first. "I just told Mom that neither you nor Enbiao will let you be taken back."

"You and Mom... had a heated argument just now." Looking at Hyunja's expression, Naying also knew that she had heard some of the conversation.

"It's not your fault, it's what I wanted to say to Mom." Thinking of something, Naying smiled. "When I was arguing with my mother just now, for a moment I was thinking: what would Hyunja do? In fact, I have often had this kind of thought since a long time ago. Every time I look at Shang Zhen, whom I don't understand , I was thinking that Ms. Xianzi must be able to understand his thoughts, thinking about what Shang Zhen and Miss Xianzi have done, thinking about your every move, Xianzi... Now even when I quarrel with my mother, I think of you .”

Xianzi was speechless for a moment, she wrinkled her long skirt with both hands and buttoned it desperately. "I... think of you often."

"You come from a world I don't know. The first time I saw you, you were different from what I had always imagined. You didn't grab my collar or yell at me. You were so gentle. It's a bit scary. I didn't intend to return Enbiao's father to anyone, but you left without saying a word that day, and I've been thinking about your expression at that time." Xianzi's voice was not loud, but his words The words entered Naying's heart. "I kept thinking that night, how sad and sad you will be? As long as I think of this, I don't want to see you cry again. I just want to return Enbiao's father to you, not to return him to his family. "

"So from beginning to end, the two of us are on the same side." Naying's teasing tone also made Xianja laugh out loud.

Xianzi laughed for a while and then fell silent again, with seriousness on his face, as if he wanted to say something.

Looking down at her tightly clenched right hand, Hyun Jae looked back at Naying again, in the open palm lay a ring they were no longer familiar with.

"I hope to return this ring to you." In Xianzi's serious tone, no joke could be heard.

Naying stared at the ring for a long time, it represented the entangled past of her, Xianzi and Shang Zhen, and also represented the deepest knot in their hearts.

She had seen this ring in Shang Zhen's pocket, and also on Xian Zi's ring finger. Rather than saying it was the knot of the three of them, it might be more appropriate to say it was the story of Shang Zhen and Xian Zi.This ring had repeatedly appeared in many late nights when she couldn't sleep. The anger of betrayal and heartbroken sadness seemed to be difficult to find a correct answer to the depression in her heart.Obviously she was the one who was by my side, and before Shang Zhen entered the operating room for the first time, he was still holding on to the ring tightly, destined to create entanglements that could not be solved for a lifetime.

Seeing this ring again now, the turbulent emotions in my heart seemed to have returned.

"That is what Shang Zhen gave you, I have no right to touch it."

"...But it shouldn't be in my custody."

"As I said, no one can take away the memories between you and Shang Zhen. This is the memory of your love, isn't it?" Naying closed her open palms.These words are the same as many times in the past, they are from the heart, and they are conceived from the standpoint of Xianzi, but there is more unrest in my heart. "Keep it well, but don't take it out too often, I'll be jealous."

Naying held Xianja's hand tightly, and the warmth of her palm spread to her heart along with Xianja's words.

"If this is the memory of my monk Zhen, then the future..."

Until Hyunja left, Naying was still thinking absentmindedly about the unfinished future.
