They stayed on the island for a while and returned home after the end of the year.
On the twenty-eighth year of the year, it snowed in Huaicheng, and the high-rise buildings were hidden in the hazy late winter fog, and they were completely white. The snow fell without warning, but it did not affect the prosperity that Huaicheng should have at all.
At this time, the usually lifeless Rongzhai was unexpectedly lively, with gilded red couplets pasted on the door, and the words "Fu" were pasted on the transparent floor-to-ceiling glass, giving it a rare New Year feel.
In the courtyard, Lin Qi was about to ask a few servants to clean up the snow, but was stopped by Cheng Yan. Lin Qi looked over with confused eyes.
Cheng Yan: "Sir, you are going to take the two young masters out to build a snowman."
Lin Qi was stunned when he heard this, but soon returned to normal. He responded: "Yes, I will prepare the tools."
Cheng Yan: "Go ahead. ."
When he came back again, the man had already come out, with a round child dressed in pink riding on his neck, and behind him was an expressionless Jiang Chong.
The little guy wears a beautiful and festive lion hat on his head. He stares curiously at the surroundings and grins. He is so cute.
This was the first time Lin Qi had seen this young master. In fact, he didn't look much like him. The little guy loved to smile, and there was more of a youth between his eyebrows. He was very lovable. Even if it had nothing to do with him, Lin Qi felt soft after seeing it, not to mention the husband as his father.
He took the tools and let them go one by one: "Sir, these tools are for adults, these are for children." Rong Zhen said a faint "
Yes", Rong Wanwan saw that his brother had already gone to get the tools, and stared at His big eyes were a little anxious, and Rong Zhen was still giving instructions: "Shovel some snow over the fountain..."
Rong Wanwan stretched out his paws and grabbed Rong Zhen's ears, and made an anxious "ba" sound. Rong Zhen protected his hand, so he switched to the other one and scratched the man's face twice.
Even when Lin Qi walked far away, she could still hear their husband's voice coaxing the children.
In half a morning, several large and small snowmen were piled up in the courtyard. When Jiang Jili came down from upstairs, she happened to see Rong Wanwan throwing half of her body on the man, grabbing the snow with her little hands and throwing it at him. Pockets stuffed.
Jiang Jili wrapped her coat tightly and walked out. The servant at the door bowed to him and said, "Madam." He nodded.
The people outside immediately raised their heads when they heard the sound. Rong Zhen stood up, handed the little guy to the servant, and went over to greet him.
"Are you awake?" He reached out to help the young man gather his clothes and kissed him on the forehead.
Jiang Jili said "hmm", with a smile on her face, she raised her hand and gently helped him take out the snow from his pocket.
"Isn't it cold?"
His voice was soft and nasal.
Rong Zhen took the man into his arms and pinched the side of his face with his hand: "Try it."
Jiang Jili shivered from his coldness and hit him with a smile: "It's so cold, don't touch me."
"Kiss her and you won't be cold anymore."
The man lowered his head and pursued his soft lips. Jiang Jili leaned back and did not move away, so she could only kiss him back.
Seeing this, Rong Wanwan shouted in the servant's arms: "Baba..."
Jiang Jili put her head on the man's shoulder and called out to the child. The little guy became even happier and stretched out his arms towards him, trying to find him. .
"The hat is crooked. Please put it on again Wanwan." Jiang Jili said to the man next to him. He went to Jiang Chong, reached out to cover his ears, and said with a smile: "Why is it so cold? Please warm up." ."
Jiang Chong paused, and as soon as he raised his eyes, Jiang Jili wrapped him in his coat.
"Didn't you prepare a hat? Why don't you wear it?"
Jiang Chong looked at the lion hat on Rong Wanwan's head and curled his lips: "Ugly."
Jiang Jili was amused by him and leaned over to kiss him.
"It's so ugly. Isn't it cute? It fits you well." "
That's what a child wears."
Jiang Jili said, "You are a child too."
Jiang Chong huddled in his arms and held his hand. Without saying a word, Jiang Jili followed his gaze and asked in a low voice: "Shall I hug you?"
Jiang Chong: "No need."
Jiang Jili didn't listen to his duplicity and spread out his arms to hug him up. , seeing his ears turning red quickly, she kissed him again on the face.
"Didn't you like to cling to me before? Why, you no longer love me anymore?"
Jiang Chong looked at him: "Dad, I don't."
Jiang Jili chuckled: "I'm just kidding you."
Rong Zhen said with Rong Wanwan came over. The little guy was making a fuss along the way and wanted to climb on the man's shoulder. Jiang Jili stopped him: "Wanwan, be good." The little guy stuck out
his butt and stopped.
Rong Zhen helped him tug on his little hat again. Jiang Jili said to Jiang Chong, "I'll go get your hat too. My ears are already red from the cold." Jiang Chong: "No need..." Before he could finish his words, Jiang
Jili
said Li hugged him and turned to Rong Zhen. Jiang Chong noticed what the young man meant and said anxiously: "It's not frozen." But Jiang Jili didn't seem to understand,
and gave a confused "Huh", and then sent him into the hospital. into the man's arms.
Rong Zhen held one in his left hand and another in his right hand.
Jiang Chong felt as if insects were crawling all over his body. He supported the man's shoulders, turned his face in resistance and called out: "Dad." Jiang Jili smiled and touched the top of his head: "I'll get you a hat.
" , I'll be back soon."
Jiang Chong pursed his lips and finally swallowed the words, but his ears became even redder.
Rong Zhen clicked his tongue: "It's quite light."
Jiang Chong didn't look at him, his body was very straight: "Shut up if you can't speak."
Rong Wanwan looked at his father and his brother.
"Ya!"
Jiang Chong finally put on his lion hat. His delicate and cold face matched with the fiery red and festive hat, which inexplicably matched well.
Rongzhai finally gained popularity again.
Near noon, Jiang Jili simply tidied up and changed his clothes. There was a family dinner at his old house today, and he and Rong Zhen had agreed to go back.
Of course, this is not quite accurate. It was probably because he was going back that Rong Zhen held this family dinner. There was very little negotiation involved, either between Jiang Jili and Rong Zhen, or between Rong Zhen and his family.
It's not clear who has more worries than who. When Jiang Jili was changing clothes, Rong Zhen was always by his side, helping him straighten his collar and buttoning his clothes. He didn't open the door until Jiang Jili had changed. mouth.
"Baby, do you really want to go back?"
Jiang Jili looked at him with a smile: "Why don't you go back?"
Rong Zhen hugged him, let him lean on her shoulders, and whispered: "I'm afraid you won't be happy.
" Don't you still have me? They can't eat me." Jiang Jili: "We are married. The old lady is your mother. She should go back no matter what. This is etiquette, even if it is just superficial. And I said I have to go back to Rong's house sooner or later, and I don't want to make it difficult for him."
Rong Zhen lowered his eyes, and Jiang Jili smiled lowly: "What's wrong?"
He raised his head and kissed the man's chin: "It's the same when I go back to see my father and mother on New Year's Eve. Don't think so much. If you have time, you might as well think about how to explain to them. My father and mother may You kicked out..."
Rong Zhen hugged him tightly and kissed his forehead: "I'm sorry for you, and I'm sorry for them."
Jiang Jili was not polite when he heard these words, and laughed directly.
"I didn't say you were worthy of them, so you have to think carefully about how to make them forgive you... You are not allowed to ask for foreign aid. Neither I nor I will help you sooner or later." Rong Zhen's heart was dull and his voice was hoarse: "
Okay ."
He was deeply wrong, so it was impossible not to think about things in the past. He was too concerned about the things in the past, and would get into chaos if he even mentioned them. He was afraid that he would not be able to make up for the damage, so he could not hear the joke in the young man's words. , I put a layer of shackles on myself first.
He said: "Lili, I don't want to disappoint you."
Jiang Jili kissed him.
-The
old house is still the same as in the memory. The Chinese-style mansion, as elegant as ink, stands peacefully in the overwhelming snow scenery. Countless luxury cars have been parked on the parking lot as far as the eye can see, and servants are cleaning everywhere.
The Rolls-Royce stopped at the door of the old house, and a person standing in front of the three-person tall Ruyi door stepped forward to open the door.
"Sir, Madam."
The first person to respond to him was the excited voice of a child. The little guy in the back seat waved his hand and looked out. The man was stunned for a moment, then he quickly realized and shouted respectfully: "Young Master. "
Rong Wanwan was even happier, as if he knew that "young master" was calling him.
"Sir, if you need a stroller..."
"No need." The tall man had already gotten out of the car and took the little guy out.
The person who greeted him stepped aside and heard a laughing voice coming from the car: "Wanwan's hat." The man obediently reached out and took it out and put it on the
little guy. The red lion hat wrapped around his round shape. His little face looked very happy.
Not long after, the young man also got out of the car. The person who greeted him couldn't help but take a second look. He was the expected person, but everything was different.
Compared with the time he saw her six years ago, she seemed to be more slender and beautiful, with an indescribable charm about her body. While he was distracted, he suddenly met a pair of eyes.
It was a child walking behind the young man. He glanced over with a cold gaze, warning him of those prying eyes that were not very polite. The person who greeted him was shocked, and he suddenly saw the former head of the family. The face was so similar.
He quickly lowered his head, his heart beating fast.
In fact, many servants here have heard of their husband's children for a long time. At that time, they only knew the children in Mr. Bixiaorong's family, but they never thought that they looked like this, and they were exactly the replica of their husband.
It is not difficult to understand what the gentleman is doing now. Whether he is favored or not is secondary. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is probably the next heir. It is obviously for those restless people in the Rong family.
Many people have noticed it, but they are thinking too much and are used to trying to figure out the thoughts of the family leader, but they don't know that this family banquet is just literal.
Jiang Jili is not stupid, so he naturally knows that countless people will look at him, but he is not here to show off his power or find a place, so he doesn't care, let alone keep it in his heart. I don't know how many such eyes have fallen on him. In his case, the malice was even greater, and he had long been used to it.
Or maybe it doesn't matter, because Rong Zhen is here and he doesn't have anything to worry about.
The only one who couldn't control himself was Rong Zhen himself. I don't know whether he was stimulated by what he said in the morning, or because he was afraid that he would be uncomfortable and unhappy. From the moment he entered the mansion, he followed him step by step.
Jiang Jili didn't want to say anything to him in front of other people, even if she went too far sometimes, she would still follow him.
There were many people in the mansion. As soon as Jiang Jili entered, she saw Doudou playing around beside the old lady. Rong Qiao was talking to the old lady with his hair around his ears. He noticed them as soon as he raised his eyes and stood up immediately. Came over.
"Second sister-in-law." She enthusiastically reached out to hold Jiang Jili's arm and said with a smile: "I originally said that I would wait until Wanwan's first birthday party to see them, but now it's a coincidence... morning and evening, do you miss your aunt? "
Rong Qiao's voice was neither loud nor quiet, just enough for everyone in the mansion to hear.
Rongqiao is the daughter of the Rong family, and she is the only one among her siblings who has close contact with Rong Zhen. Her attitude can largely represent Rong Zhen's attitude.
A group of people cautiously stopped talking and looked at the man holding the child at the door.
It would be a lie to say that he is not afraid. Even though the frightening evil spirit in this person has been reduced a lot now, it is still enough to scare people. The fear of this madman has long been engraved in the bones of the Rong family.
I just observed in silence for a while, but I still felt something was wrong... It wasn't that something was wrong, it was just that I always felt that this once ruthless and resolute man in power seemed to have changed too much.
He held the smiling young man beside him tightly, his eyes were cold and lazy, but this coldness and impatience were just his attitude towards all Rong family members and had nothing to do with the young man.
Jiang Jili smiled and said, "Of course. A few days ago, I said that Doudou was also celebrating his birthday and wanted to see him."
Rong Qiao pinched Jiang Chong's little face, pulled him affectionately, and then Looking at the staring little guy: "Wanwan, can you give me a hug for my aunt too?"
Rong Wanwan was particularly generous and immediately opened his arms.
Rong Zhen handed the little guy to her, then put his arms around the young man's waist, and the impatience between his brows and eyes instantly disappeared without a trace.
Old Mrs. Rong's eyes were fixed here. She coughed and said, "Ah Zhen, Ji Li, here we come." Rong Zhen did not respond, but whispered in Jiang Ji Li's ear: "Go over and sit down.
" Sit down?"
Jiang Jili said "yes" before he led the people over.
After these few words, there was nothing that everyone present did not understand. The people standing next to the old lady were numb. When they saw Rong Zhen coming over, they subconsciously said respectfully: "Sir." In the past, Rong Zhen would not know how to do it
. He responded, but today he looked at her with a gloomy and indifferent look. The man also had a blessed soul. He quickly reacted and added to Jiang Jili: "Madam." He didn't forget to look at the girl in Rong Qiao's hand. He shouted to the child in his arms: "Young Master."
The man no longer looked at him, but hugged the young man and sat on the sofa, putting a soft pillow on his waist.
Although Jiang Jili didn't care much about those looks, Rong Zhen still felt like a ray of light on his back. He quietly pressed his hand behind him and said softly: "Old lady." Old Mrs. Rong said: "Jili, thank you for your hard work.
" You're here." The old lady's words were quite friendly. Although I don't know how true or false they were, at least they were acceptable in terms of face.
He patted Jiang Jili's hand and sighed: "I've lost weight."
Jiang Jili smiled and did not respond to this sentence. He only asked: "How has your health been during this time?"
Old Mrs. Rong said: " It’s all an old problem, don’t worry, it’s just that I’m too lonely by myself. You know, I like the excitement.” After she said a few words, she paused and suddenly said: “Jili, come back, Huaicheng is the place. Your home..."
Rong Zhen's expression changed instantly. He hugged the young man over like a child. As soon as the old lady's hand was empty, she saw Rong Zhen reaching out and grabbing the young man's hand.
Her voice was deep and cold: "He can be wherever he wants. You have so many physical problems, just take care of yourself." Old Mrs. Rong was
choked and almost changed her face, but she couldn't help it, because in Before they came, Rongqiao had already vaccinated Old Mrs. Rong in advance, saying that her second brother and second sister-in-law were in a good relationship now and they should not look bad, otherwise the situation would not be over and no one would be able to do anything about it.
Although Mrs. Rong has an angry attitude, she still doesn't understand clearly. Even if she didn't like Jiang Jili before, she will stop it now for the sake of her two grandchildren, not to mention how much she has asked for. I asked Rong Zhen to bring the two children back for the first time, but it was too late to be happy now.
So he took back his hand: "That's natural. Where to live in the future depends on Ji Li's own ideas." Seeing
his second brother chatting to death with just one sentence, Rong Qiao put Rong Wanwan and Doudou together with a wink. After taking a piece of cake, the two children lined up side by side and both came to the old lady's side.
"This is Wanwan, right? She has really beautiful features. I look like she looks like Zhili." The old lady smiled and stretched out her hand. Rong Wanwan is indeed Rong Wanwan. She is familiar with everyone. As soon as the old lady held out her hand, he He just crawled over and made people dizzy.
Old Mrs. Rong held Rong Wanwan in her arms and looked at Jiang Chong again.
In fact, she was the first to notice Jiang Chong when she entered the door. The child's temperament was cold and arrogant, with Rong Zhen's shadow between his eyebrows. He followed the young man silently. Although he didn't say a word, But it made many people secretly frightened.
so similar.
Old Mrs. Rong: "Zao Zao, Zao Zao, come here and let me take a look."
Jiang Chong also looked at Jiang Jili first. The young man nodded to him, and then he walked over, but he did not ask her to be too intimate. His name was just a cold and calm sentence: "Old lady."
Old Mrs. Rong wanted to reach out and pull him, but the child naturally avoided it, and he said: "My dad brought you a gift, please take a look. "
The old lady also saw that this was a tougher nut to crack than her own son. The father and son were exactly the same. From the time they came in until now, Jiang Jili's attitude towards her was acceptable. Her son and grandson all treated her as an enemy and guarded her. Old Mrs. Rong didn't want to make trouble for herself anymore, so she followed the words and picked up the beautiful little baby next to her.
While sending people out to get gifts, Rong Zhen kept sticking to him. Jiang Jili gave him a look to tell him not to go too far, but Rong Zhen didn't listen and kissed him on the side of his face.
Ask him in a low voice: "Are you hungry? If you are hungry, wait until you look at the gifts and eat first."
Jiang Jili said, "Wait a minute, don't be like this, there are many people watching."
Rong Zhen tapped his chin on his shoulder. , suddenly raised his eyes, glanced around, and said with his lips: "Who is watching?"
Jiang Jili was dumbfounded by his childish appearance. When everyone in the mansion looked away, she hurriedly reached out and pushed him away. Rong Zhen.
"Don't make trouble."
Rong Zhen said, "No trouble, baby. If you're not happy, just say it boldly. No one can make demands on you, not even me." He said this in a low voice, and the old lady knew who it was for as soon as she heard it. , semi-embarrassed and Rongqiao teased Rong Wanwan and Doudou, but Quan pretended not to hear.
The other Rong family members also gathered together and no longer dared to look around.
Jiang Jili glanced at Rong Zhen helplessly.
The gift was brought out soon. It was not a particularly expensive thing, and it was not as good as the "Zhao Ming Star" set given six years ago. But it was prepared with great care, and the old lady was very considerate of it. Finally, the greetings were over. One level.
Jiang Jili quietly breathed a sigh of relief, but the Rong family members were all worried. As expected, the meal didn't go well either.
At this family dinner, there were not only a few children from Jiang Chong and Rong Wanwan, but also other people's rich young masters. Some of these children were old and young, some were sensible, and of course some were ignorant. It was inevitable that they would be noisy while eating.
It's just that one child, Rong Wanwan, made a noise while drinking milk, and everyone else thought it was nothing. Unexpectedly, that person twisted his eyebrows and said impatiently: "If you can't manage the child well, throw it out." It was obvious that he had just said
that Holding a bottle to coax his son, the little boy was so bold that he grabbed the man's collar and fluttered around, causing such a scene that the man didn't even frown.
The double standards are obvious.
Jiang Jili also had a headache. He knew that men always had this kind of virtue, and Rong Wanwan was spoiled by being pampered again and again.
Rong Zhen is used to being domineering himself, and now he wants to take Rong Wanwan with him to be domineering.
But in front of the Rong family, Jiang Jili still saved enough face and endured it for a long time. After finally finishing the meal, Mrs. Rong and Rong Qiao took several children to the pavilion outside to play with the birds.
Originally, no one dared to walk in front of Rong Zhen, but Jiang Jili pulled the man several times. Rong Zhen looked at the young man's face and didn't know what he thought of. He gestured to the others and pulled the young man away. A secluded cobblestone road.
This path leads to a viewing lake in the courtyard, where no one will come.
After quieting down, Jiang Jili was about to speak when the man hugged him, lowered his head and kissed him on the lips: "Baby, do you have something to tell me?" Jiang Jili: "Of course I..."
"
First Let me kiss him." Rong Zhen held the back of his head, kissed him a few times, and then deepened the kiss.
Because of the sudden winter snow, Huaicheng became unusually cold. Just as Jiang Jili was about to push him away, the man wrapped him in his arms with a coat, and his hot chest continued to convey warmth. , Jiang Jili did not struggle for a short time.
Unexpectedly, the kiss was endless and long. The man clasped his waist with one hand, rolled his tongue and kissed her deeper and deeper. Jiang Jili's heart was beating very fast, and finally she couldn't bear it anymore, and she reached out and pinched the side of the man's face.
Rong Zhen seemed to be enjoying it, covering his hand and laughing softly, and finally let go after being bitten by Jiang Jili.
"Baby, are you angry?"
Jiang Jili's face turned red after being kissed by him, and she said angrily, "You're still smiling."
Rong Zhen: "I think the baby is very cute... It's my fault that you don't smile. ." He lowered his head and rubbed the tip of the young man's nose: "Don't you have something to tell me?"
Jiang Jili glared at him, this man still had the nerve to mention it.
"What did I tell you before? Why don't you have a long memory?"
Rong Zhen thought about it seriously and replied: "The baby told me to distinguish between good and bad, and not to always care about those close to you, but they don't Even if they are relatives...don't the baby also like them?"
Jiang Jili: "That's not what you're talking about."
The young man's eyes widened, looking at him moist and beautiful, and Rong Zhen couldn't help but kiss him on the lips again. Click.
"The baby also said not to be cruel to Wanwan, but I didn't hurt him."
Jiang Jili suspected that the man did it on purpose, and before he kissed her again, she covered his mouth with a "pop" sound.
"Just say you don't have a long memory, and you're still being stubborn." Jiang Jili: "You don't dote on children that much. Rong Wanwan is not sensible, and neither are you. How many times have I told you not to spoil him too much, but you still think Do you act like that in front of so many people, are you afraid that Rong Wanwan won't be domineering in the future?"
Rong Zhen: "No, baby, Wanwan cried because she was hungry today. She used to be very well-behaved when eating, better than their children. Too much..."
Jiang Jili said: "You still said that!" He was so angry that he hit the man on the shoulder.
Rong Zhen shut his mouth.
"When will you change your bad behavior? Fortunately, you have been smart early on, otherwise you would have led me astray. Children at this age learn things from adults. Can you teach me something better? Don't do anything when you speak. Just take care of your own mood..."
Rong Zhen: "I was wrong. I won't be like this next time. Really, baby, don't be angry."
Jiang Jili's anger has not passed yet: "You really change?"
"Change, Change it now."
Jiang Jili: "Rong Zhen, I said the same thing last time. I really won't forgive you if you do it again." "What I
said last time was not to change it now, but what I said last time was to change it next time."
Jiang Jili Li Li smiled angrily. The man probably teased him on purpose. He smiled sullenly and hugged him tightly. Jiang Jili hit him on the shoulder several times.
"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you. If you knowingly commit a crime, the crime will be increased. You can go and sleep with Rong Wanwan tonight."
Of course Rong Zhen was unwilling. He whispered in Jiang Jili's ear: "I will admit my mistake to the baby tonight. Can you hit me? Didn't the baby say that if you do something wrong, you will be responsible? I'll just let the baby hit me, okay? On the bed..." Jiang Jili's face suddenly turned red and she raised her voice: "Rong Zhen
!
" At that time, in an octagonal pavilion half-hidden behind a five-needle pine on the other side, a group of people watched the whole process.
The viewing lake where Rong Zhen and Jiang Jili were located happened to be in the direction of the Bajiao Pavilion. As soon as Mrs. Rong and others entered the pavilion, they noticed the people by the lake.
At first, I thought it was the young man who was flirting with the young wife at home, but before he could move his eyes away, he saw the always soft and quiet young man raising his hand and hitting the man.
They watched this scene with fear. Although they already knew that Rong Zhen doted on this lady, the incident was still deeply ingrained in their memory. They were all afraid that the lady would get angry and throw her into the lake.
As a result, no one expected that the man not only did not change his expression, but also held the young man's hand lovingly.
Afterwards, the appearance of the two of them shattered their cognition. Only Rongqiao had a look of surprise, slowly leaning on the stone bench to drink tea, while teasing Jiang Chong for a few words.
As for Rong Zhen, of course he knows the layout of the old house. He lived in the old house for twenty years before taking power. He knows better than anyone that those people can see it clearly. He just wants everyone to see it.
The young man has a soft temper. Even though his status has now changed, he is not willing to embarrass others and always gives others a little respect. But Rong Zhen doesn't want to. He wants everyone to know that his treasure's status is unmatched by anyone. , including himself.
After the family dinner, a lot of rumors arose within the Rong family, and the news was quietly spreading. Within two days, the news spread quietly.
Everyone in the upper class circles said that the Rong family's strict wife control was completely screwed up this time.
Of course Rong Zhen himself heard this, and he was not only satisfied, but also enjoyed it. Jiang Jili didn't know that he had so many evil thoughts. He didn't drive him to Rong Wanwan's room that night despite the man's shameless begging. Don't say anything that night. I beat him, and when I woke up the next day, I felt like I had been beaten.
The Rongzhai was different from the apartment they lived in in Tongqiao. The luxurious and spacious rooms were soundproofed so well that no matter what happened inside, they could not be heard outside.
It was only when Jiang Jili cried so hard that her voice became hoarse in the middle of the night that she realized that Rong Zhen did it on purpose. He had already thought of this.
Fortunately, there are still two days until New Year's Eve, so Jiang Jili can still be cared for, so she won't be unable to walk by then.
So in the next two days, Rong Zhen was honorably invited out of the master bedroom.
