In the European-style living room, a large group of servants were hurriedly preparing dinner when the sound of keys turning the door entered a shy young man."Second Young Master is back!" Zhang Ma said as she took the backpack in Ou Yanghai's hand.
"Come in quickly!
Dinner is almost ready.
Madam has been waiting inside for a while!"None of the servants in Ouyang's house disliked Ouyanghai.
Although Xiaohai and Che were biological brothers of the same father and mother, their personalities were completely different.
Ou Yangche was always cold, and the arrogance in his body seemed to be innate, making people not dare to approach him.However, Ouyanghai was different.
There would always be a smile on his childish face.
Even though he was only a servant of the Ouyang Clan, to Xiaohai, he was just like his own family.She smiled at Zhang Ma.
"Got it, Zhang Ma!"Ou Yanghai quickly changed into his slippers and politely walked over to Li Bingqian.
Then, he gently sat down on the sofa across from him.
"Mom, Aunt Zhang said that you were waiting for me.
Is there anything?"Hearing his voice, Li Bingqian put down the newspaper in his hand and patted the empty sofa beside him.
"It's been four years since I last saw you.
You've grown up quite a bit!
I can't even recognize you anymore.
Come!
Xiaohai, sit down next to me.
I have something to talk to you about."A pair of warm hands gently stroked his hair, "Xiaohai!
Mommy has something to ask you.""Mom, go ahead and ask!""Do you like Yunuo?"Her son had always been shy.
As a mother, she knew this very well.
When she saw Ou Yanghai, she lowered her head and said, "If you like him, just say it.
Yunuo is a good kid, but he's a little stubborn and likes to play the Big Miss' temperament.
You're 21 years old as well.
There's no need for me to help you, right?""But Yunuo likes it very much." Even though he didn't want to accept this fact, he didn't want to lie to his mother."Chi probably doesn't like Xiaonuo, right?!
I've watched that child grow up as well.
I know his temper too well.
If he liked it, he would've been drowning in it by now.
Why would he come running home right after the plane?""Even if that's the case, she wouldn't like me."Seeing Xiaohai's dejection, Li Bingqian gave him an encouraging smile and said, "You must have never confessed to her, right?
I heard from mom that if you really loved her, it wouldn't matter if you suffered some setbacks.
Mom believes that one day, she'll understand what you're thinking."A faint smile finally appeared on his gloomy face.
"Thank you, Mom!""What are you thanking me for?
You're my son!
Alright, your brother is still sleeping in the room.
Go and call him down for dinner.
I think Mother Zhang is almost done."As soon as Ou Yanghai went upstairs, the phone in the living room rang.

"Madam, it's Master!" Madam Zhang called out to Li Bingqian, who was on the sofa."Xianshi!
Are you going home for dinner tonight?""No, the company is rather busy.
By the way, are both Che and Xiaohai home yet?""Mm!
Don't worry, let's get ready for dinner.""Bingqian, do your best to clear that kid's mind.
He can't listen to my words at all.
Tell him to spend more time with Yunuo and stop fooling around all day long.
We're almost engaged, so it's about time for him to calm down!""Engaged?
Che Che and Xiao Nuo?
Why is it so sudden?
Have you asked the children about their thoughts?"This news was too sudden.
Even though Ouyang Xianshi was usually a dictator, how could the children's marriage matters be settled so easily?
Furthermore, Xiaohai was the one who liked Yunuo!"I think we should just put this matter aside first.
Maybe they already have someone they like.
The children have already grown up and have the right to make a choice!""The children don't understand the reality.
Why are you also confused?
Authority?
As Ouyang's children, they can only choose to accept the arrangements.
What kind of love?
What do they know about love?
Alright, you should wake up and stop messing around with the children.
There's something else that needs to be done.
I'm hanging up!"Seeing a hint of sadness flash across Li Bingqian's face, Zhang Ma took a cup of water with concern and said, "Madam, have some water!"Helplessly pushing open the cup in Zhang Ma's hand, she forced out a smile and said, "No need!
You can go back to work!
Also, tell the kitchen that Master will not come back for dinner tonight.
Three sets of chopsticks will suffice.""Yes, Madam.
" As she spoke, Zhang Ma took the cup of water and left.Heartbroken, she sat back on the sofa and lost focus in her tired eyes.
This was what they had been talking about for more than 20 years.
There would never be any extra care.
His tone was like a proud king, and she was like a frightened attendant.
Could this be his so-called love?
It had been more than 20 years, but she still couldn't find the answer.
Watching the children grow up little by little, she was tired.
Gradually, she started to get used to this coldness, and the answer had long since changed.Looking at the night sky outside the window, her heart was still in turmoil, all for the sake of the children.She knew very well what a marriage without love was like.
Could it be that she had to watch her children go through the same fate as she did in the past?Twenty-two years ago, under the same night curtain, she met him , she seemed to have heard the sound of waves slamming against the beach again.
