At the beginning of the lanterns, Xia Xizhi sat at the dining table and waited quietly. Seeing that Ji Xiuyu hadn't come back yet, Xia Xizhi finally couldn't help but dial his phone.

The phone rang for a long time, and then it was answered: "It's a pity, what's wrong?"

"Xiu Yu is late, are you busy, when will you come back?" Xia Xizhi asked gently.

On the phone, Ji Xiuyu said in a low voice: "I have a party tonight, I'll go back later." ”

Listening to his words, Xia Xizhi held his mobile phone and said with a light smile: "Well, okay, then you are busy first." ”

Ji Xiuyu simply hummed, then ended the call, listening to the busy sound on the phone, Xia Xi was a little distracted for a while. For a long time, this seemed to be the first time that Ji Xiuyu took the initiative to hang up her phone. Thinking about it like this, there is something wrong in my heart.

The servant stood in front of her and asked respectfully, "Madam, do you want to wait for Mr. any longer?"

Raising his head, Xia Xizhi replied calmly: "No need, let's eat first." ”

Hearing this, the servant nodded, and went to bring all the dishes. She doesn't like to let Ji Xiuyu eat leftovers, so every day, she waits for Ji Xiuyu to go home.

Seeing that the table was full of dishes he liked to eat, Xia Xizhi had no appetite. The quality of the mood can directly affect people's emotions.

After dinner, Xia Xizhi came to the balcony. Looking at the silent night outside the window, at this moment, she was suddenly a little confused about life.

Many people think that it is a happy thing to marry a powerful husband and be a full-time wife. And she is now working as a full-time wife, waiting for childbirth with peace of mind. But the heart is empty, and there is a sense of gain and loss. It's a terrible feeling.

Holding the railing with both hands, Xia Xizhi raised his head, looked at the dark night sky, and said softly: "I really hope that this turmoil can pass sooner, and I also hope that I can help him, instead of waiting for him to come back at home like now, but I can't do anything." ”

At ten o'clock in the evening, the familiar whistle sounded downstairs. Xia Xizhi knew that Ji Xiuyu was back. Sure enough, after a while, a familiar figure came into view.

Xia Xizhi stepped forward and gave her a hug affectionately. "Xiuyu, welcome home. Xia Xizhi said with a smile on his face.

Ji Xiuyu snorted, his hand fell on her lower abdomen, and asked softly, "Is the baby good today?"

Stroking his stomach, Xia Xizhi said with a smile: "Of course it's good, it's not enough now, so you won't kick me." When he grows up, I will really suffer. ”

Ji Xiuyu said in a low voice: "Thank you for your hard work." ”

Shaking his head and looking at him, Xia Xizhi said softly: "I'm not hard, the one who really works hard is you." How's the company doing?"

"It's fine. Ji Xiuyu replied simply. He didn't want to talk about the company.

Seeing this, Xia Xizhi helped him take off his coat and said, "Let's go to the bubble bath, it will be easier." I didn't smell of alcohol, and I thought you would drink at a party tonight. ”

Ji Xiuyu smiled simply, patted her head, and said, "Then I'll go take a bath first." After speaking, Ji Xiuyu turned around and walked to the bathroom.

Xia Xizhi put his clothes on the sofa and looked at his back calmly. I don't know why, Xia Xizhi vaguely felt that Ji Xiuyu's attitude towards her seemed to be a little colder than before. But the reason, she couldn't think of.

After taking a shower, the two lay on the bed together. Looking at his emaciated appearance, Xia Xi said distressedly: "You have lost a lot of weight these days, you haven't had a good rest, and the dark circles under your eyes are also very heavy." ”

Listening to her words, Ji Xiuyu said with a smile: "It's okay, just wait until you're done." Besides, men can't be too fat, that will become greasy. ”

Hearing this, Xia Xizhi sneered and said jokingly: "If you become a middle-aged greasy man, maybe the women who like you will decrease all of a sudden." ”

"Not necessarily, there may be many more women who are attracted to my personality. Of course, many women now worship money, and they value money more. Ji Xiuyu said lightly.

Lying on his side, Xia Xizhi's hand fell on his chest. Feeling the sound of his heartbeat, he said softly: "Xiuyu, in fact, during this time, I am a little uneasy. ”

Holding her hand, Ji Xiuyu said hoarsely: "Why?"

"I used to think that although I was not as good as you, I was not your appendage. But recently, Zhongkai Group encountered a crisis, but I couldn't do anything, I still ate and slept hungry. At that time, I thought, I'm really useless. The so-called value has not been seen at all. Xia Xizhi said with a wry smile.

Since she was unemployed, Xia Xizhi felt that she was really useless. Even if she can have no job, at least she can fight side by side with him when he has difficult things. Instead, become a burden to him.

Listening to her explanation, Ji Xiuyu stroked her head: "Don't think nonsense, you are pregnant now, and your value is to have children for me." ”

"But I don't want to position myself as having children. Xia Xizhi said helplessly.

Looking at her, Ji Xiuyu frowned: "It's a pity, the field of Zhongkai Group is different from the one you were engaged in before. Even if you want to lead Zhongkai Group, it is not achieved overnight, but it takes time to temper. ”

"Xiuyu, I ......" Xia Xizhi was about to speak, but was interrupted by Ji Xiuyu.

Holding her face, Ji Xiuyu said hoarsely: "I'm tired, don't say that, okay? I just want to have a good night's sleep, and if there is something to say tomorrow, good night." After speaking, Ji Xiuyu kissed her on the cheek, and then turned off the light.

Instantly, the whole room was pitch black. Looking at the man beside him obviously didn't want to continue talking to her, Xia Xizhi's heart was mixed, and he didn't know how to describe it. The head rested on his head, obviously the distance between the two was not far, but Xia Xizhi felt that there was a long distance between the two.

Time ticks by, but Xia Xizhi always has trouble sleeping. Turning his head sideways, resting his head on his shoulder, Xia Xizhi said softly: "Xiuyu, I really feel sad. Because, I can't do anything for you. I sometimes think, can I go on with you for a long time?"

The night was silent, and there was no response. Xia Xizhi slowly closed his eyes and hid all his emotions.

I don't know how long it has been, but the sound of even breathing sounds. Ji Xiuyu opened his eyes, turned his head sideways, and stared at the person beside him. In fact, he had not slept all the time, and he heard her words awakely and understood her worries.

Dropping a kiss on her cheek, Ji Xiuyu said softly: "It's a pity, I promised to protect you in this life." I will not forget this sentence. ”

Looking at the night, Ji Xiuyu's eyes were clear, and he didn't know what was flickering in his eyes.
