Chapter Thirty-Three: Fierce Outside and Gentle Inside

  "You're here too, take a seat"

  Duan Ruiqi pointed to the chair beside him.

  "Guo Zhenzhen saw Duan Ruiqi's complexion recover a bit, thinking that today's medicine wasn't wasted, and scolded with ease, 'You're really something, forgetting what kind of stomach you have and still daring to eat three-quarters cooked steak, don't you want your life?'"

  Duan Ruiqi rubbed her temples, laughing anxiously: "The way you speak is more and more like my mom's. Why don't you just have a sex change operation and marry my dad to continue our family line?"

  "You still have the nerve to joke with me" Guo Zhēnzhēn angrily threw a pillow from beside her at Duàn Ruìqí, "You said your restaurant is fine, why did you choose to get stuck in an elevator where even cell phones can't get through, causing Qi'er's family to worry along with us?"

  "I'm sorry, I just wanted to create a special date, didn't expect to harm others and myself." Duan Ruiqi sincerely expressed her foolish behavior, but in her heart, she was still secretly delighted to have an elevator date with An Qi'er alone. If it wasn't for this sudden stomachache, perhaps the ideal elevator date would have been perfect.

  "Jinbei, you're still sulking?" An Qi'er bought a lot of Jinbei's favorite snacks and even the entire set of girls' comics that she had always opposed.

  Although Kanbei accepted these small gifts that pleased himself, he still ignored An Qi'er, eating snacks and reading comic books by himself, treating the An Qi'er beside him as if she were air.

  An Qi'er couldn't bear such cold treatment and shouted stubbornly: "An Jinbei, I am your mom!"

  Liu Lianhua couldn't bear it, with her hands on her hips, she scolded An Qi'er: "Do you still know that you're a mother? No matter how busy you are, you should at least call home to report your safety!"

  An Qi'er looked wronged and said weakly: "But I was trapped in the elevator at that time, my phone had no signal, and I was worried about you guys too"

  Liu Lianhua's heart softened a bit as she listened, nodding in agreement. "It's all the fault of that damned broken elevator and Rui En, can't even get a decent elevator."

  An Jinbei didn't take it to heart, but instead smiled sweetly at Liu Lianhua, "Lianhua, you're my real mom"

  These words seriously hurt An Qi'er's heart. Liu Lianhua noticed An Qi'er's angry eyes and worried that he would beat An Jinbei, so she quickly protected him and pleaded for mercy: "Children don't understand things, besides, you've always been against hitting kids."

  An Jinbei grunted and added fuel to the fire, humming his nose: "Who is whose opponent is still uncertain"

  An Qi'er didn't say a word, but in an instant the anger in her eyes turned into deep pain. She turned around and grabbed her coat and bag, ready to go out. Liu Lianghua hurriedly asked again: "Qi'er, where are you going?"

  An Qi'er didn't turn back and rushed straight to the door, replying tiredly: "I'm busy with work"

  "You'd rather be busy with work, then just don't come back at all!" An Jinbei slammed the comic book onto the desk in anger.

  Liu Lianhua sat down beside him and stroked his small face, which was red with anger. "Jin Bei, your words just now really hurt Mommy."

  "But she's not a good mommy!" An Jinbei retorted in extreme anger

  "If she isn't a good mom, then what do you think is a good mom? Do we have to be like our neighbor Denny's mom in Canada to be considered a good mom?"

  Whenever Danni is mentioned, Angie recalls the scene where Danni was being chased and beaten by her evil mother, crying for mercy. For this reason, Anqi had gone to teach Danni's evil mother a lesson, feeling sorry for Anqi in her heart, but Angie stubbornly retorted: "Danni's evil mother is a mentally ill person, how can you compare?"

  Liu Lianhua also knew that An Jinbei was tough on the outside but soft on the inside, and said in an analytical tone: "To say something unpleasant, both you and Danni were born into single-parent families."

  "But I want to be much happier than Danni, because I have your love," An Jinbei said, nudging his head against Liu Lianhua's neck, this was his usual adorable and cute manner.

  Liu Lianhua smiled wryly and shook her head, "Actually, you know everything in your heart. In this world, you are the one your mother loves the most."

  An Jinbei's mind flashed back to the scene of An Qier and several security guards sending a man last night. Although the man was pale and weak, it did not affect his innate handsome face. Seeing An Qier so tense, she ignored An Jinbei who was running towards her. Thinking that her mother had neglected herself for this man, An Jinbei's resentment rose again, pouting and saying unwillingly: "Mom doesn't love me at all, in the future she will marry another man and abandon me."

  Liu Lianhua understood that An Jinbei was still unable to let go of what happened last night. She lowered her head and touched faces with An Jinbei, not knowing whether she should speak or not, but thinking that An Jinbei was different from ordinary children, so she could only tell him the truth in her heart, otherwise An Jinbei would be very angry at being treated like a child.

  "Jin Bei, although you've been in relationships with many girlfriends, you haven't truly grasped the profound knowledge of love. Think about it, your mom and I are women too, we also need a good man by our side who loves us. When you were born, your mom was alone, carrying a big belly and still had to go to work to make ends meet. If she had a good husband by her side, she wouldn't have had to struggle so much. This led to your mom having to be strong on her own, making herself like a man with abilities, but deep down in her heart, she also yearned for someone to love and care for her."

  An Jinbei heard this, and looking at Liu Lianhua's sorrowful and tearful eyes, he felt that having a girlfriend should make him understand love, but now he suddenly realized that his own mother was also a little woman.

  "Hua Hua, originally I still didn't understand, but suddenly I thought of my Canadian girlfriend who loves to cry when she's wronged. At that time, I would stand up like a man and protect her, care for her, not letting her cry anymore. Now I understand, my mom also hopes to have a big man by her side who can wipe away her tears and make her smile."

  Liu Lianhua happily hugged An Jinbei, and kissed his little face several times. "My golden treasure is so clever, he's grown up a bit now, whoever marries him will definitely be very happy."

  "Then my father must be a bad husband?" An Jinbei knew he had asked a forbidden question, but he couldn't help wondering what kind of person his father was.

  Liu Lianhua was indeed as An Jinbei had expected, with a dark face and eyes that were about to bulge out in anger. "That bastard doesn't deserve to be your father, he puts all the blame on your mother's shoulders, doesn't take any responsibility, and still refuses to acknowledge you as his child."

  "Hua Hua, don't be so excited, I promise to listen to you. When we have money in the future, we won't give that scoundrel any pension." An Jinbei immediately regretted letting Liu Lianhua get too excited.

  "It's better for that old man to spend the rest of his life in solitude, so he won't harm anyone else. He can't even take care of himself, let alone others." Liu Lianhua took a few deep breaths, feeling a bit exhausted from scolding, and stroked An Jinbei's little head, "Dear baby, seeing how hard your mom is working, please don't make her worry anymore, it really hurts her feelings."

  "I get it, Hua Hua. As a man, I should protect Mom and you, my women." An Jinbei felt like he had finally figured something out, and couldn't continue to be reckless with these two seemingly strong but actually fragile women by his side.

  "Ah, how is it Bai Guo Zhou?" Duan Ruiqi made a bitter face and pushed the porridge in front of her to one side with disgust.

  An Qi'er put the porridge in front of him again, forcing him to face it, "You're a bit better now, don't forget what the doctor said, hurry up and eat this porridge while it's hot"

  "I don't want to eat this plain, oily and tasteless rice porridge. I told you clearly it's sushi, not white fruit congee." Duanyi didn't expect that his little secretary would openly defy him.

  "Duan Zong, I'm not here to kill you, but to take care of you. So please drink your porridge obediently and strive to recover soon so you can go out and eat your sushi." An Qi'er had originally planned to discuss work with Wu Bo, but was called over by a phone call on the way to deliver food. She had been holding in her anger, and was just looking for an outlet.

  "I don't eat" Du Ruiqi also came with a temper, this time directly throwing the white fruit porridge into the trash can, her eyes rolled up and glanced at An Qi'er with a provocative gaze.

  An Qi'er thought you'd make a move, so I'll make one to deal with you. She bent down and picked up the white fruit porridge from the trash can and put it back in front of Duan Ruiqi.

  Duan Ruiqi covered her nose in horror, feeling nauseous and losing her appetite. "How can you give me such a dirty thing to eat? I'm going to fire you!" She thought to herself, if you were a man, I would have punched you long ago.

  An Qi'er said calmly, "This bowl of white fruit porridge is packaged very tightly and has not been contaminated. Is it that you, Duan Zong, didn't learn the importance of treasuring food when you were in school?"

  "But I don't like to eat, I hate being forced to eat something I don't like." Facing An Qi'er's severe reprimand, Duan Ruiqi felt a little guilty in her heart, but she continued to pretend to be tough.

  "Wasting food is the most shameful behavior, even children know this principle, Director Du. Although you have a lot of money, you can't be so extravagant with food. People like you should be sent to remote and impoverished areas, starve for a few days, then you'll understand the preciousness of food."

  "But I'm not hungry now, your behavior has already made me sick to the stomach." Duan Ruiqi felt like her head was going to explode with anger.

  "Full and still thinking of eating and drinking a lot." An Qi'er said, pouring another cup of water, "Since you're not hungry, then drink more water, it's just right to clean up the garbage in your stomach and intestines."

  "You're really annoying" Duan Ruiqi didn't even look at it and threw the white fruit porridge out, but the sound wasn't a splashing sound on the ground. He was puzzled and got up to take a look, the porridge had all spilled on An Qi'er's body. His face turned purple with anxiety as he quickly pulled out a lot of paper towels to wipe An Qi'er's body, repeatedly apologizing: "Sorry sorry I didn't mean to sorry"

  An Qi'er didn't get angry again, but looked very tired and waved his hand, saying: "I'll go to the bathroom to wash up and I'll be fine, you rest well"

  "Qǐ ér, I was just a bit short-tempered earlier, but I didn't mean to treat you like that." Duān Ruì Qí's heart was racing and she didn't dare look at ān qǐ ér, only now realizing that she was actually afraid of ān qǐ ér.
