But Nan Yan's end was not as good as Cinderella's.
She will always be just an accessory, someone who can be easily abandoned at a critical moment.
Thinking of this, she had just ignited a trace of soft-heartedness in the study room, but it was also wiped out in an instant.
Hearing this, Xiaotai Tuanzi seemed thoughtful, but soon, he frowned.
"Fairy tales are indeed fairy tales, because only a vicious stepmother can be so cruel to her stepdaughter, but the reality is...my mommy...has always only regarded me as a tool..."
Nan Yan squeezed the hand of the fairy tale book and wondered: "What do you mean, Song Yihuan...isn't it bad for you?"
The little guy's face looked a little lonely, and he was silent for a moment before he said: "I...I don't know if it's because I'm young and ignorant, because I always feel that every time Mommy comes to see me, the key point is It was never me, she just wanted to see daddy.”
"When daddy was around, she was very nice to me. When daddy was gone, she would look at me with complicated eyes..."
Hearing this, Nan Yan tightened her hands unconsciously.
Because, she suddenly remembered the conversation she heard before.
The more she recalled the words of Song Yihuan and Lu Weiyan, the more frightened she became.
If Lu Shijiu was really her and Lu Weiyan's child, then all this would make sense.
Because although Lu Shijiu looks very much like Lu Huaijing, the two brothers are somewhat similar.
It's just that their temperaments and personalities are very different. Over the years, their temperaments are probably even more different.
But judging from Song Yihuan's current behavior, she has been taking advantage of Lu Shijiu. This contrasting treatment is enough to prove that this child is just a tool for her to stay with Lu Huaijing.
And she was even more worried that Lu Huaijing would realize that the child was not his, so she looked at him with complicated eyes.
The more he thought about it, the more frightened Nan Yan became.
She even felt guilty for no reason. This feeling made her dare not look directly into the child's bright and sincere eyes.
Nan Yan could only lie without conscience: "Shijiu, the world of adults is very complicated. You must not think randomly. In the hearts of adults, there are always important or more important things. Since it is not the most important, then, Just don’t insist on getting it.”
"Because, in your own world, nothing is more important than loving yourself."
She didn't understand this truth at the beginning, so she worried about gains and losses.
Lu Shijiu was only five years old, and he shouldn't have to endure this.
The little guy didn't understand what he was saying, but he was obviously relieved and soon started to yawn.
Nan Yan took out his mobile phone and sent a message.
She looked at the little breasted dumpling who was gradually falling into a deep sleep, and couldn't help but tuck him in the quilt.
The moment he stood up to leave, Nan Yan noticed something tugging at the corner of his clothes.
Lowering his head, the little guy's hand was still squeezing.
Even in his sleep, he still refused to let go.
Nan Yan felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. She took off her coat and covered the little guy with her clothes.
He stood up and gently touched Lu Shijiu's white and tender cheeks with his hand.
From this moment on, she had made up her mind.
The roar of a car engine came from the window, and Nan Yan also walked downstairs.
And there was already a waiting figure at the door.
"Mr. Lin, it's been a long time no see."
Lu Huaijing greeted him politely, but his dark eyes were a bit colder.
Lin Jinchi, a handsome man with a gentle face, didn't seem to care very much. He just smiled politely and distantly:
"Mr. Lu has many things to do, so naturally he can't see you often. Now that we are neighbors, we can help each other. I heard that your child is sick and my fiancée is helping. I wonder what the situation is?"
"Please worry about me, I'm getting better now."
Lu Huaijing's words were also like hidden needles in the fabric, deliberately making people uncomfortable.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps coming from upstairs attracted the attention of two people.
Two men, with the same tall and graceful figure, one with a graceful appearance, the other with a cold and distant look, with somewhat similar handsome faces, both looked deeply towards Nan Yan.
The difference is that one's eyes are gentle and worried, while the other's eyes are dazed and complicated.
Nan Yan stood there, and for some reason, at this moment, he felt like he had been there for thousands of years.
However, within a moment, she came back to her senses.
A bright smile bloomed on her charming face, but it was only directed at one of them.
"Jin Chi!"
Her voice was extremely gentle, and she walked straight to Lin Jinchi.
The moment he passed by, he didn't look at Lu Huaijing's eyes like wheat.
She took the initiative to lean into the man's arms, with deep love in her beautiful eyes.
Lin Jinchi hugged her waist very naturally and gently lifted the hair around her ears with his fingers.
"Thank you for your hard work. I should have come to pick you up earlier."
They looked at each other, handsome man and beautiful woman. If they were not in front of Lu Huaijing, they would really envy others.
It's a pity that the cold man on the side began to ruin the scenery without mercy.
"Mr. Lin, we have a really good relationship with Miss Alina. If I hadn't known about your relationship, I would have thought that your appearance today was just an act..."
Full of irony.
In an instant, Nan Yan's hand tightened unconsciously.
"Mr. Lu is envious."
Lin Jinchi deliberately tightened his arms, letting Nan Yan get closer to him, looking like a winner.
Lu Huaijing's thin lips suddenly tightened, as if he was trying his best to endure something.
After a long while, he suddenly raised his lips and said, "Miss Alina has excellent medical skills. I wonder if I have the honor to ask you to treat Shijiu?"
What……?
Nan Yan was surprised, a trace of vigilance flashed in her eyes, and she said coldly: "Mr. Lu, didn't you suspect that I had evil intentions before?"
This man's face changes so quickly that it makes people panic for no reason.
But Lu Huaijing just leaned on the side more lazily and chuckled before saying:
"I was rash just now, which shocked Miss Alina, but when I saw that Zhou's mother and Shi Jiu both like you so much, and your medical skills, I changed my mind. Perhaps, I should respect my child's wishes. Isn’t it?”
Nan Yan frowned and looked at Lin Jinchi in front of her uneasily.
The latter's big hand gently placed on her waist, exerting force quietly, as if trying to soothe her emotions.
"Mr. Lu, we have been busy preparing for the wedding recently, so we may not have free time, otherwise-"
"Oh? So it turns out something good is about to happen?"
Lu Huaijing interrupted Lin Jinchi's excuse without hesitation.
He said bluntly: "Actually, I can wait. Anyway, as Mr. Lin said, we are already neighbors and we should help each other. What's more, my cousin won't let his nephew get into trouble, right?"
