The driver picked up Li Jingchen at the airport and drove him.

"Boss Li, are you going to Fujiang Rose or Junding Yuntang?"

Li Jingchen supported his forehead with his hand and looked out the window.

Just about to speak.

The phone rang.

A babyish little voice sounded~

"father!"

"Yangyang?" Li Jingchen looked at the number. Isn't this Yuan Gang's phone?

"Dad~, grandpa asked me to call you. Grandpa asked you to come over for dinner!"

Hearing this, Li Jingchen suddenly curled the corners of his mouth.

Yuan Gang took the phone and said, "Yangyang told me yesterday that he called you. You are back from a business trip today. If you have nothing to do, come to my place for a quick meal! After dinner, play chess with me. Stay a little longer."

Li Jingchen thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I just got off the plane and will be there soon."

hang up the phone.

"Go to Dongshan Villa District." Li Jingchen instructed the driver.

The lights of thousands of homes outside the car window fell into his deep eyes.

This was the first time that Li Jingchen felt that the lights of Nan Di were so warm and homey.

……

At Dongshan Villa, Jiang Mingyang saw Li Jingchen coming over and gave him a big hug~

"Dad, I miss you so much!"

"Yeah, I miss you too." Li Jingchen picked up his eldest son and kissed him twice, then picked up the youngest son Li Feifan on the sofa and kissed him twice as well.

Yuan Gang walked down the stairs, coughed twice and said, "I just called you, and Yangyang excitedly went out to the door several times, thinking about you."

Li Jingchen smiled and touched Jiang Mingyang's head.

"I'm going upstairs to call my mother for dinner~"

Jiang Mingyang said this and went upstairs with his short legs.

Yuan Gang asked Li Jingchen to sit down. He coughed twice again and Li Jingchen frowned.

"You still haven't recovered from your cold?"

"It's nothing serious. It's probably because the temperature has dropped in the past two days and I caught a cold again. I'm old and can't stand the hardship like you young people."

Li Jingchen looked at Yuan Gang, still a little worried. Didn’t Yuan Gang go for a check-up?

Yuan Gang's eyes flashed. He had a check-up and found that everything was fine, except that the cold had not yet healed completely.

Upstairs, Jiang Mingyang came down by himself.

"Mom is still busy~"

Li Jingchen stood up upon hearing this.

"I'll go upstairs and see her."

Jiang Tong was reading documents in the study. She knew Li Jingchen was here, and she thought it was better to keep a distance from him. After all, she had promised Jiang Keyi that she would avoid suspicion with Li Jingchen.

There was a knock on the door.

When Jiang Tong looked up, she saw Li Jingchen pushing open the door and came in, and she suddenly lowered her head.

"You guys eat first, I'm still busy."

Li Jingchen stared at Jiang Tong and suddenly raised his eyebrows, "What's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing."

"Hiding from me? Not daring to look at me?" Li Jingchen could see Jiang Tong's nervousness.

Jiang Tong's eyes flickered, "No, you worry too much."

Ta-da! The short-legged messenger is here again.

Jiang Mingyang held one of Li Jingchen's legs, tilted his head and said to Jiang Tong, "Mom, let's eat! We've been waiting for you."

Seeing this, Jiang Tong didn't know what to say and could only smile at her son. She understood.

Li Jingchen and his son went downstairs first, but he couldn't help but glance at Jiang Tong from the corner of his eye, feeling a little doubtful.

At the dinner table, Yuan Gang specially arranged for Jiang Tong to sit next to Li Jingchen.

"Tongtong, please sit next to Xiaojing."

"No, Dad. I'll just sit next to you."

Li Jingchen stared at Jiang Tong and frowned even more tightly.

Yuan Gang tried to smooth things over while picking up some food for Jiang Mingyang, "Let's eat, Yangyang has been hungry for a long time!"

As for Li Feifan, he likes to chew on pig's trotters. If you give him a piece of pig's trotter, he can hold it and chew on it for a long time.

Jiang Tong was about to pick up a piece of pig's trotter for Li Feifan, and a pair of chopsticks on the opposite side picked up the trotter almost at the same time.

"Do you want to eat?" Li Jingchen asked. He thought Jiang Tong wanted to eat.

Jiang Tong put down his chopsticks and said politely, "I don't want to eat it, you eat it."

Seeing her gesture of keeping distance as a hospitality gesture, Li Jingchen almost frowned again.

He put the pig's trotter that Jiang Tong had just picked up into her bowl, and then picked up another piece of pig's trotter and gave it to Li Feifan.

Jiang Tong didn't expect that she and Li Jingchen wanted to go together.

She lowered her head and ate the rice grains, feeling that she couldn't taste anything.

After dinner, Li Jingchen didn’t stay to play chess anymore, he wanted to go back.

His eyes finally fell on Jiang Tong.

"You won't see me off?"

"..." Jiang Tong knew that Li Jingchen had something to say to her alone.

Jiang Mingyang pulled Jiang Tong's hand with his little hand and winked at her.

"Mom, please send Mr. Li Zi off!"

"Okay." Jiang Tong originally planned to see him off.

Two people walked one in front and one behind.

Jiang Tong could only see his broad and tall back.

When he reached the door and saw no one around, Li Jingchen turned around.

"What do you mean?"

"what do you mean?"

"Why did you give me a cold shoulder during dinner?"

"You misunderstood. I didn't give you a cold shoulder."

Jiang Tong explained, "I just think I should keep my distance from you."

Li Jingchen suddenly fell silent.

Better keep your distance.

When he was away on business, he could only think of her.

Thinking of her words, "I'll always love you no matter whether you are rich or poor," he was almost driven crazy.

Because until now he felt like it was a dream. The facts he thought he had always believed in were now told to him that they were not what he thought in his heart. It was such an illusory dream.

I remembered Jiang Tong’s words again: I have loved you.

No matter how hard he thought, he couldn't come up with an answer.

He really wanted to know the exact answer that she had in her mind so far.

"What position do I hold in your heart now?" Li Jingchen stared at Jiang Tong closely.

Jiang Tong thought for a moment and said, "What other position could it be? An excellent ex-husband, a father of a child, and a reliable old friend."

Li Jingchen: "...Thank you for your compliment. And then? What else?"

"There is no more."

Jiang Tong said, "We are both in the past. I wish you happiness."

"Can you change your line?"

"Then I wish you and your new love a happy and sweet life after your remarriage."

Li Jingchen suddenly felt a mouthful of blood stuck in his throat, unable to go up or down.

He didn't explain anything, didn't want to explain, and didn't know how to explain!

Where did this new love come from?

"Thank you for your blessing. I will be fine with my new love. Your love, Miss Jiang, comes and goes without a trace. It is hard to predict."

After saying this, Li Jingchen left resolutely.

Jiang Tong stood there in a daze, her heart feeling like someone was squeezing it hard.

Obviously, the unpredictable person is him.

…………

When Jiang Tong returned home, Yuan Gang asked her what happened? Are you so distraught?

Jiang Tong said, there’s no such thing as a dad.

"You two always quarrel whenever you meet. Is there something you haven't resolved yet?"

"No, Dad. Let's keep our distance from him from now on."

He said himself that he has a new love, so maybe he didn't want to come to dinner at all, but he had to come for Yuan Gang's sake.
