The right way to rescue someone who has been out of the closet

Chapter 45 My Son

With Qin Jianbai's promise from afar, Ye Lan was excited all night, and finally fell asleep honestly after being pressed on the bed by Qin Qin.

Woke up the next day, Ye Lan's overheated brain finally woke up.His design has not been recognized by the mainstream, let alone the slightest management experience. Before that, he must work harder.

Ye Lan, who cheered up again, resumed going to work early and returning late. Due to the impact of the oolong incident, Wanhua's autumn new product launch was postponed to December and changed to a winter launch.Hua Hui went all out, and Li Mei hung around him, even Fei Yuande came out of the general manager's office three times a day to see how he was doing.

As the main designer, Ye Lan had never been left out like this before, but fortunately, he didn't care, and enthusiastically devoted himself to the fun of designing the wedding ring for Ye Ying.In order to satisfy Ye Ying's girlish heart, he specially chose a heart-shaped pink diamond.It was the first time he designed custom jewelry, and he had many ideas, but he was restricted by the female ring and could not fully implement it.When he felt itchy, he would scribble and draw on another piece of manuscript paper, secretly fantasizing that one day he would be able to wear the pair ring with the male god.

He is very satisfied with his current life, and his only trouble is that his iron-like biological clock has become chaotic.If he had gone to Dr. Qin's specialist clinic the night before, he would probably oversleep and be late the next day, barely catching the bus and not daring to take a seat.

After Tan Qin found out, he took a weekend to drive back a new car and took Ye Lan to work every morning.Ye Lan, who was used to loneliness, would one day enjoy the treatment of a special car pick-up, but at first she was too shy to get out of the car and go upstairs, so she only asked Qin Qin to park at a far corner of the street.

Although Limei's office building is not a bustling downtown area, the traffic flow in the morning rush hour is still considerable. After a few days, Ye Lan found that no one cared about him, so she slowly relieved her heart.

That day Ye Lan got off Qin Qin's car in a hurry, ran all the way into the elevator in order to catch up with time, and was about to reach out to press the floor, one hand hurried ahead of him, and pressed Limei's floor.

Ye Lan subconsciously thanked her, but found that he and Lu Qiaoqiao were the only ones in the elevator.Lu Qiaoqiao's bangs were scattered, and she couldn't see the expression on her face clearly.

All along, Lu Qiaoqiao and him have avoided embarrassment by turning a blind eye. Now that they bumped into each other head-on, it would be strange to turn a blind eye.Ye Lan hesitated, whether it would be abrupt to say hello at this moment.Lu Qiaoqiao, on the other hand, raised her hand to tie the broken hair around her ear, her eyes wandering: "Is that... just now your boyfriend?"

Anyway, she was out of the closet a long time ago, Ye Lan simply smashed the jar and admitted: "Yes."

"He's handsome."

Girls are always extra tolerant towards handsome guys, Ye Lan smiled silently, secretly thanking Tan Qin for her beauty.

"Oh, I actually..." Lu Qiaoqiao stared at the jumping elevator panel, hesitating to speak.

Ye Lan waited patiently, she made up her mind, turned around, her face was still blushing, but her eyes were calm and moving: "I'm actually not... you know, I'm just a little... I'm sorry , I can’t say it well... If you give me time, I will definitely accept it. "

She was so straightforward that Ye Lan didn't know what to say.Several months have passed since the news of being out of the closet. During this period, he has experienced too much, and he has seen Lu Qiaoqiao defend him in front of the rumors.He knew that Lu Qiaoqiao was just quarreling with him, but he was not so worried about when they could reconcile.Now that Lu Qiaoqiao took the initiative to throw out the olive branch, he was flustered for a while, and said clumsily, "Well, thank you."

Lu Qiaoqiao laughed out loud: "Fool, what are you thanking me for?"

"Anyway... thank you."

The elevator door opened, revealing Limei's busy colleagues.Lu Qiaoqiao walked to the seat a few steps ahead, opened the newly bought candy box, picked out one and handed it to him: "I wish you happiness."

Ye Lan took it and took a look, it was a pink chocolate bean.He threw it into his mouth, the pink icing melted, and the sweet taste exploded on the tip of his tongue.The peach flavor is as beautiful as first love.

Ye Lan thought, he should apologize.In a sense, he also cruelly ruined this girl's first love, but when he said such words, it felt more or less contemptuous.He thought for a few seconds in distress, and chose to thank him for the third time.

Thank you for loving me.

After get off work, Ye Lan bought a small cake as usual to find Ye Ying.During this period, the dean and vice dean of the Central Hospital organized a delegation to go abroad for inspection. As a promising young talent, Qin Qin worked more overtime hours than before.And Qin Jianbai was also busy with Fengxi's official duties, so Ye Lan had no choice but to partner with Ye Ying, occasionally having a meal and going shopping, the relationship between mother and child improved by leaps and bounds.Although there is no substantive breakthrough, at least getting along is no longer awkward, and we can chat about work and life in our spare time while waiting for the food to be served.

Just after lunch break today, Ye Ying sent a message to ask him to have dinner. Ye Lan thought that Tan Qin would definitely have to work overtime again, so she readily agreed.

When he was taking the subway, he thought that if he could keep such intimacy with Ye Ying all the time, even if he couldn't be a mother and child in the ordinary sense, even if Ye Ying's life was never the most important thing about him, then it wouldn't matter.

Thinking of this, the joyful part of his heart gradually calmed down, and he returned to his former state of stillness.

It is happier to have no expectations, just like the third year of high school when it was impossible to go to school.

From the subway station to the bus, it takes a long way to get to the factory warehouse.A few times before, Ye Ying would wait for him at the door early, but today Ye Lan sent her a message on the subway, but she was nowhere to be found when she walked to the door.Instead, there was an unusual luxury car parked under the shade of a tree in the distance, Ye Lan couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Ye Ying didn't answer the phone call, and Ye Lan searched around in the warehouse but couldn't find anyone.The door of Ye Ying's independent office was locked. Ye Lan didn't know if she was discussing business and dared not knock on the door rashly. Instead, she went to the customer service area with ease and asked the familiar customer service brother: "Where is your boss?"

"Ah... She was still there just now. I saw that when she was about to come out of the office, someone was looking for her. The two seemed to know each other, so they went to the boss's office to talk." Xiao Cao pushed his glasses, "The other party seems to have a very good background. Look big, if you have nothing to do, just wait outside."

"Well, I'm not in a hurry." Ye Lan said, walked slowly to the reception area and sat down, picked up the magazine and glanced at it.

As far as he knew, Ye Ying usually received guests here, and those who could enter her office for secret talks were probably not ordinary customers.Or... Ye Ying's friend?Will she have friends too?What is it like?

Ye Lan was tickled by these questions, he stood up pretending to be nonchalant, and walked to the door of Ye Ying's office.While the people around were not paying attention, he approached slowly, put his ear on the door, and tried to hear a few words to confirm the identity of the visitor.

However, when he heard whose voice it was, he was knocked down on the spot, his limbs were cold, and even his breathing was out of order.

He never expected that the person in the office was Wei Peiyao.

Millions of thoughts ran through my mind for a moment, why did Mrs. Wei come here?Why did she come to see Ye Ying?After the previous incident, she still has the nerve to come to the door?

His actions caught the attention of the customer service brother. He waved his hand to indicate that it was okay, and continued to listen with breathless concentration.

It seemed that Wei Peiyao had not been here for a long time, and there were no fierce quarrels in the office, and the silence was like a pool of stagnant water.

After waiting for a while, Wei Peiyao's voice sounded: "Don't you pour a cup of tea for the guests?"

"Tea is for entertaining guests, not enemies." Ye Ying replied flatly.

"Oh, I didn't expect you to look at me like this. Enemy? You deserve it too?"

"It's up to me to decide whether you deserve it or not. As for what you think of me, I don't care and I don't bother to care about it. My little ruined temple can't accommodate your big Buddha. If you have something to say, please come back if you have nothing to do." .”

"I came here just to tell you that in this world, there is nothing I can't get that I want." Wei Peiyao spoke slowly, with thorns and thorns mixed in with every sentence, "My son also Forget it, if you want to take him away from me, there is no way. Apart from this store and your face, what else can you rely on? He chose me 30 years ago, 30 years ago He will still choose me after that.”

Ye Ying's voice was flat, neither fast nor slow, as if she didn't take Wei Peiyao's threat to heart at all: "Then let me tell you, I've lived for 40 years, and I just want to understand one truth. People, the most fearful thing is to lose .I was afraid of losing my family when I was young, and I was afraid of losing my beauty when I was old. If you take the fleeting things too seriously, it will never be easy."

Wei Peiyao sneered disdainfully, Ye Ying didn't care, and continued on: "I used to care about many things when I was young, but I found that in the process of chasing these things, I lost the most important things to me. I can't get real happiness from money and jewelry. Later I figured it out, the only thing I can't lose in my life is my son. How do you deal with me, what you lose is just something outside of you. You want to get old Tan back, As long as he is willing, I can let go. My money, my Taobao store, I don’t have to. I have had nothing but my son since I was 15 years old. As long as my son is doing well, the worst thing is to return to the previous miserable days. At the age of 15, I can persist, do it again, what do I have to be afraid of?"

Ye Lan's heart was beating loudly, as if it was going to burst out of her chest.

"You are also a mother. I believe that you will not be so despicable as to attack my son."

Ye Lan took a few steps back suddenly, but he didn't hear what Wei Peiyao replied.Ye Ying's words echoed repeatedly in his ears, he couldn't stay for a second longer, clutched his heart and ran out of the warehouse gate, rushed to the bus without even looking at it, and ran home in a daze.

Instinctively looking for a safe haven, he returned to the rented house, tremblingly found the key to open the door, almost fell into the hallway, barely holding on to the shoe cabinet to keep it stable.After rushing all the way home, Ye Lan's face was flushed, her mouth half-opened and she was still panting.The hair was soaked with sweat, sticking to the forehead in strands, and the sweat dripped from the chin, leaving little circular marks on the carpet in the hallway.The clothes on his body were also crumpled due to strenuous exercise, as if being chased by some savage beast.

Tan Qin stood by the table and was pouring boiling water into the instant noodle box. With a shake of his hand, a few drops of boiling water spilled on the table.He quietly pushed the box of instant noodles into the pile of manuscript paper and hid it. Seeing Ye Lan's appearance, he couldn't help but frown: "What's the matter? Didn't you say you won't come back for dinner?"

Ye Lan bit her lip tightly and shook her head, let go of her hand, and fell to the ground along the shoe cabinet.He lowered his head, slowly gathered his legs, put his hands on his knees, and curled up like a fetus in the womb, looking miserable and pitiful.

The late autumn in the imperial capital was already chilling, Qin Qin didn't continue to question him about the strangeness, turned around and took a dry towel from the bathroom to cover him, and sat down in the porch, with his arms lightly on his shoulders.

Ye Lan wrapped the bath towel tightly, tilted her body, buried her face in Tan Qin's arms, and remained motionless.Tan Qin tightened his arms and sat with him for a long time, and only asked him what was the matter when his mood stabilized.

Ye Lan told him everything about meeting Mrs. Wei.

Tan Qin smoothed his sticky forehead hair with his fingers: "Don't pay attention to her. After Min Wenwei took her out, she was idle and bored, and started to be mean again. My dad used to be busy with work and single all year round. She thought my dad The old love is unforgettable. Sitting in the glory and wealth and then enjoying the love of a man for 30 years is the pinnacle of her life. Now it’s gone all at once, and she can’t accept the reality.”

"Well... I know. I also believed in Uncle Tan, and I didn't take her words seriously." Ye Lan sniffled and blew snot bubbles, "I just... didn't expect that my mother has always loved me. I I never knew that I was so important to her. She must have wanted to reconcile with me all these years, and she was afraid that I would not forgive her. I, I feel that I have done a lot of things that made her sad all the time, and I am very sorry for her The... oh."

He sighed and talked a lot about his past with Ye Ying.Qin Qin listened silently, pulled a corner of the towel to wipe his hair, and said something nonsensical: "You deserve the best."

【small theater】

After sitting on the ground enough, Tan Qin pulled Ye Lan to get up and go to the bathroom to take a shower, and secretly disposed of the failed instant noodles by himself.

Ye Lan took a shower, put on her pajamas and ran out, her stomach growled while she was drying her hair.He smiled embarrassedly: "Is there anything to eat? I haven't had dinner yet."

Qin Qin replied coldly: "No."

"Nonsense! I saw you making instant noodles when I walked in!"

"..." Qin Qin blocked the trash can and said that he didn't hear anything.

Ye Lan pursed her lips and rubbed her belly: "But I'm hungry..."

Unable to resist, Qin Qin resigned himself to taking out two packs of instant noodles from the kitchen.

Ye Lan happily rolled around on the bed waiting for her meal.

The phone rang.

Ye Lan took out her cell phone, it was Ye Ying's call.

"Where are you, baby? Didn't you make an appointment for dinner? Did you forget?"

"Uh... I, I haven't forgotten, suddenly something happened."

"Oh, so, I thought you didn't like the Italian restaurant I ordered. I specially ordered grilled lamb chops and Margherita pizza for you. If you don't come, I can't finish it all by myself, and it will be a waste."

Ye Lan swallowed her saliva, and took a peek in the direction of the kitchen. Qin Qin, who was unpacking the bag of instant noodles, happened to look over too, and their eyes met.

Qin Qin looked at him indifferently.

Ye Lan withdrew her gaze and wept silently in her heart: "No, no need, I have something to eat..."

It was too late to say it, but Qin Qin was so quick that he threw the instant noodles, including the package and the noodles, into the trash can, clapped his hands and walked over.

Ye Lan was so frightened that she yelled into the phone: "Ms. Ye Ying! Ms. Ye Ying! Are you still there! I'm here to eat! I'm out of food! Where are you! Wait for me! Don't hang up! Mom !"

Qin Qin walked to the bed and took the phone from his hand: "Hello? Well, it's me, my aunt. We came to eat, two of us. You send me the address. Okay, sorry for the trouble, goodbye."

Ye Lan: "..."
