Stealing the moonlight into my arms

Chapter 154 Discussion

Perhaps because they were too familiar with each other, Fu Runing was not at all guarded against the people around her.

Just as Xiaoting said, she had no resistance to him, and even her body still remembered him.

That night, although she had a lot on her mind and couldn't sleep well, she didn't feel nervous or panicky.

Get along peacefully and friendly with my ex-husband.

Maybe she had something on her mind, so she didn't sleep well.

The quilt covering her body felt hot, and she stretched her legs out of the quilt several times to cool down, but she didn't dare to do so when she thought of her ex-husband's mistress, who was not a very stable factor.

However, the man's breathing gradually became steady, and it was obvious that he was truly asleep.

It was not until the sky was getting light that Fu Runing began to feel sleepy.

The sky is hazy.

The room was silent.

Xiao Jingting woke up earlier than usual. He opened his eyes and saw the environment he was in. He knew that he had failed again.

It was now becoming increasingly difficult for him to control the man's appearance.

He even couldn't help but wonder, is it really that he can't control it?

Or unwilling to control?

Xiao Jingting turned his gaze to the other side.

Fu Runing's sleeping posture was not very good. Perhaps because she felt hot, she kicked off a lot of the quilt, but at least there was still a corner resting on her stomach. Her breathing was steady and she was in a deep sleep.

Look, Fu Runing and 'him' got along very well last night.

Xiao Jingting quietly pulled the quilt higher on her, moving it slowly so as not to wake her up.

Subconsciously, she reached under her pillow for her phone, unlocked it with the password, and turned off all the alarms.

Anyway, when she wakes up and finds that the alarm clock didn't ring, she will just think that she turned it off while she was half-conscious.

After doing this, Xiao Jingting put the phone back to its original place.

He walked into the bathroom carrying the clothes he had changed yesterday, making no noise the whole time.

After changing his clothes, he was about to leave quietly like last time...

Suddenly, my feet hit something, making a heavy sound.

Xiao Jingting took a deep breath, paused all his movements, and looked down. At his feet was a fallen vase with a few fresh lilies in it.

He frowned slightly, not expecting that person to have thought of all this.

Xiao Jingting felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

Lily used to be a secret code or a kind of interest between him and Fu Runing.

But the environment he was in now didn't allow him to think too much. The loud noise obviously woke up the woman in the bed who had not been sleeping for long.

Fu Runing opened her dazed eyes and sat up from the bed like a carp.

Xiao Jingting's raised foot finally fell down as if he had given up.

He stood there, waiting for the sarcasm that would follow.

Although Fu Runing might not necessarily criticize him, her mouth would never be idle.

Fu Runing leaned against the head of the bed and tried to open her eyes several times before she could clearly see the man standing at the door.

She recalled the man's movements just now.

Not surprisingly, he wanted to run.

She now had another way to distinguish Xiao Ting from Xiao Jingting.

It was Xiaoting who tried every possible means to stay, and it was Xiao Jingting who wanted to escape without leaving any trace.

There was an awkward silence in the room for a moment.

It was clearly not a static picture, but neither of the two people moved.

Until Fu Runing let out a low laugh, breaking the dead silence.

"Xiao Jingting, you don't recognize me when you put on clothes. No wonder Xiaoting said you are a coward."

Fu Runing couldn't see Xiao Jingting's expression at the moment. He was standing with his back to her, but judging from his stiff body movements, his expression probably didn't look very good either.

Xiao Jingting turned around and tried hard to maintain his facial expression, but he still couldn't hide his embarrassment.

He said, "I don't have any."

These three words, which were too pale and dull, made Fu Runing laugh out loud again.

The man's face was now dark and he looked even more embarrassed.

Fu Runing stretched and smiled, "Yes, you didn't. But although you can't say you come here every day, it's still quite frequent. And you even insist on sleeping in my bed. If you can't live without me that much, you should have told me earlier."

"Oh, I asked you before if you couldn't sleep without me, and you were still angry and embarrassed."

Xiao Jingting listened to her slightly relaxed tone, and suddenly a string in his heart seemed to loosen.

He swallowed the retort that was about to come out of his mouth.

He raised his eyes and looked at Fu Runing who was sitting on the bed.

She obviously didn't sleep well. Her eyelids kept drooping. She blinked twice and then tried to open her eyes wide, trying to keep herself awake.

The faint light from the misty morning sky fell on her face, making her look particularly gentle and lazy. Her long hair flowed down over her shoulders, just like every morning when they woke up from sleeping in the same bed together.

Every time that happened, he would feel that they were just like an ordinary couple.

Xiao Jingting walked towards her step by step.

Fu Runing watched him come back, looked down at her clothes, and felt that there was nothing wrong with them.

I was still waiting for him to be tough, but today I waited for a long time and still didn’t get it.

Just as she was wondering, the man had already walked up to her.

Fu Runing crossed her arms and put on a pose: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Xiao Jingting looked at her for a moment and asked in a deep voice, "Why didn't you reject him?"

Fu Runing sighed in her heart.

This man is so boring.

The lively interest in her eyes suddenly turned dull.

Xiao Jingting noticed all these changes.

He frowned slightly, as if he was stubbornly determined to get an answer, and continued to ask——

"You can obviously refuse him. This is your home, and there will be many people who will help you."

Yes, this is obviously her home. If she doesn't want Xiaoting to stay overnight, she has countless ways to do it.

Fu Runing never expected to receive such a question.

Sure enough, this was something Xiao Jingting would do, which made her look extremely despicable.

The room fell into dead silence again.

After a long time, the response he received was a pillow that Fu Runing picked up and threw over.

"Okay, hurry up and go. If you don't leave now, Auntie and Second Auntie will get up and make breakfast, and then you won't be able to explain yourself!"

The pillow hit the man hard and then fell at his feet.

Seeing that he still had an expressionless and numb face, Fu Runing became angry.

Then she said, "You want to know why I didn't reject Xiao Ting? I tell you, he's cuter and more lively than you, and he even came to me on his own initiative and obeyed everything I said. You can't find someone like him even if you spend money, so why should I refuse?"

Fu Runing didn't even add that she had a good figure, but she was afraid that these words would anger her fragile and sensitive ex-husband to death.

Xiao Jingting pursed his lips slightly, and the emotions in his eyes changed, but he turned his head slightly to hide those emotions.

He turned around, opened the door and left.

Fu Runing was also stunned.

She didn't expect Xiao Jingting to leave like this...

He just left without saying a word.

No, why did he just leave like that without even saying a word today?

Did she say something harsh?

But didn’t Xiao Jingting say it more seriously before?

Fu Runing pulled the quilt over her head and ignored him.

He can do whatever he wants.

Xiao Jingting is just her ex-husband, her father's adopted son, and her brother...

I kept repeating this to myself in my heart.

But she didn't brainwash herself for three seconds before she pulled down the quilt and stood up quickly.

What should I do if I get into a car accident?

Fu Runing put on some clothes and hurriedly got up to chase after him.

She didn't dare make too much noise for fear of waking up the people at home.

As soon as I chased him down the stairs, I saw Duoduo biting Xiao Jingting's trouser leg in the living room, insisting on playing with him.

Fu Runing walked over a few steps, grabbed Duoduo's ear and pulled it away.

She looked at Xiao Jingting and said, "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else. I'm telling you to drive slower. If you really can't, take a taxi or ask someone to pick you up. Otherwise, if you get into an accident, I'll be the last person you see. In the end, I'll have to go to the police station to cooperate with the investigation to determine whether you are a suicide suspect, and whether I've angered you to the point of suicide..."

However, Xiao Jingting just said calmly: "I left your house and the car accident had nothing to do with you."

Fu Runing was so choked that she couldn't speak.

He actually expected to have a car accident.

Fu Runing pushed him away and said, "Then go away."

"If you can't accept yourself waking up in my bed every day, go discuss it with Xiaoting."

I'm so annoyed. What kind of person is this?

He always wiped out her sympathy just as it arose.

Maybe this is what mentally ill people are like, pretentious and with extreme self-esteem.

It was still dark outside and the living room was gloomy. The two of them stood in this familiar space, in a stalemate.

Xiao Jingting stared at the face of the woman in front of him without blinking. His throat rolled slightly, and suddenly he said -

"Fu Runing, can we sit down and have a good discussion?"

Fu Runing folded her arms and looked at him, wondering what tricks he was going to come up with.

She wanted to see what this idiot could say.

"If you have something to say, speak up."

But it was clearly out of place in her home.

So the two of them walked out the door and got into Xiao Jingting's car.

She didn't expect that what was parked outside the door was a sports car, a sapphire blue one at that.

Fu Runing used to love the Xiaohong car in his garage, so when they divorced, Xiao Jingting gave her the Xiaohong car, but it is still lying in the Xishan Bay villa, and she didn't go to mention it.

Xiao Jingting's usual personality doesn't match the sports car, and the color is so flashy. These two cars usually gather dust in the garage.

Who knew Xiao Ting was so showy, going out at night in his flashy blue sports car.

Fu Runing got into the car and found that no one had ever moved the passenger seat. She had to move back a bit before she could adjust it to the right position.

After she sat down, she looked at the man next to her.

"Tell me, what are you discussing?"

The interior space of the sports car is small, and when two people sit down, the space seems even more cramped.

Xiao Jingting put his hands on the steering wheel, and some thoughts subconsciously emerged in his mind.

He only needs to start the car and step on the accelerator to take her away from here.

Xishan Bay Villa has a two-story basement.

This thought came to his mind, and he even raised his hand to drive...

Suddenly he clenched his fists tightly and suppressed these extreme thoughts that did not belong to him.

Xiao Jingting avoided looking at the car window, for he was afraid that he would vaguely see another side of himself in the glass.

His hands also left the steering wheel and hung at his sides.

Fu Runing didn't know what he was thinking about with his eyes lowered.

She coughed to remind him.

"You asked me to come out and sit there?"

This voice brought Xiao Jingting back to his senses. He raised his eyes calmly, and the emotions in his eyes had returned to normal.

He glanced at Fu Runing and said, "I really can't control myself from coming to you. He likes you, so he will control my body to come to you."

Fu Runing raised her eyebrows, nodded, and looked at him calmly.

She followed up on his words and commented: "It shows that Xiaoting has better vision than you."

After saying that, she gestured for him to continue talking nonsense.

No, discuss.

"The reason he shows up so often is because you're not with me, so he wants to come find you. If you want to control him from showing up, we can try to satisfy his wishes, such as..."

Having said this, Xiao Jingting paused, his eyes sank slightly, and there was a deep look in his pupils.

"For example, we can maintain the same life as before for a while. He can see you and sense you, and maybe he will appear less frequently until he slowly disappears."

Fu Runing listened to his serious nonsense while maintaining a polite and appropriate smile on her face.

She thought that even if Xiao Jingting didn't inherit the Xiao family, he would still be a very successful business genius. His ability to make empty promises and talk nonsense was at the top level.

If she didn't have to maintain her image, she would have to applaud her ex-husband.

Isn't that quite eloquent?

Fu Runing nodded without showing any expression, indicating that she approved of his constructive suggestion.

"So what you're saying is, if I move back to your house, I'll have to bring Duoduo, Xiaosi, Xiaowu, Xiaoliu, or Luoluo with me every now and then?"

There was nothing unusual in Fu Runing's tone, and she asked the question in a very serious manner.

Xiao Jingting's hands hanging by his side were sweating.

But he still maintained the necessary calmness on his face.

"No, or like now, I can come to your house."

Fu Runing asked, "Then how am I going to explain this to my father and second uncle? I'll be at a huge disadvantage. If they think we've rekindled our old relationship, my father will be the one who broke us up. Then I'll be seen as someone who treats marriage like a joke. Who would dare to marry me in the future?"

When Xiao Jingting heard this, his eyes dimmed slightly, and he said, "You can ask for any conditions you want."

Conditions, and more conditions.

Three years ago, Fu Runing stayed with Xiao Jingting for the sake of benefits.

Now, he still talks to her about interests.

Fu Runing was also thinking that maybe she really didn't handle the matter three years ago properly, which led to both of them being so resistant to true feelings.

But there is no way to travel back to the past to stop what has already happened, so shouldn’t people look forward?

Even if she had the choice again, she would do the same.

Seeing that she was hesitant to speak, Xiao Jingting took the initiative to say, "In fact, it is not uncommon for couples to stay together after divorce. It's nothing to rekindle old feelings."

If Fu Runing were in her right mind, she would have rolled her eyes at him and slammed the door and left.

But today she just wanted to see what she could do with this piece of wood.

She deliberately put on airs, "You know, my family was once considered wealthy, and I never had a hard time growing up. When we were together, you didn't lack anything from me, and when we divorced, you gave me so much money. Now I don't lack anything either, and to be honest, I don't want anything either."

Xiao Jingting's eyes darkened.

She is not the same as she was three years ago.

Now she has no dilemma.

He said calmly: "You can think about it again, anything is fine."
