Chapter 73: Mustard
Xia Qixi thought that Chen Ziyu still needed to travel for work as before, because he was too worried that he would have a bad face, so he pulled his arm and comforted: "It's okay, I have my parents to take care of me now, and my uncles and aunts often come over, so you can rest assured to go and busy with your work, and I will wait for you to come back at home." ”
Chen Ziyu smiled and patted her head: "Got it, go to bed early." I'm on the plane tomorrow morning and sleep in the guest room tonight so I won't wake you up tomorrow morning. “
Although she didn't do anything all day, pregnancy made Xia Tanabata easily tired. After listening to Chen Ziyu's words, he obediently closed his eyes and soon fell asleep.
The familiar face became peaceful in his sleep, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows lost the initial melancholy, Chen Ziyu, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, gently touched Xia Qixi's cheek and got up to leave.
The moment the door was closed, I couldn't help but look back again, and some words were always unspeakable.
After years of work, Xia Qixi still opened her eyes on time when she usually got up from work, although in order to let her sleep more, Chen Ziyu had turned off the alarm on her mobile phone. I used to be unusually busy every morning, but now I suddenly have no work, and the whole person is idle and has nothing to do.
I got up and went to the next room, pushed the door open, and the bed was already tidy. Chen Ziyu has left. Mom and Dad have prepared a hearty breakfast as usual.
It was just one day, and suddenly it became a long time. During the period, she received a call from the boy last night, and she repeated the same sentence, asking her to persuade Jiang Xue.
Xia Qixi sat in front of the window, looking at the blue sky and white clouds outside, and really couldn't understand why he never forced these two words in the world of feelings.
Jiang Xue's appearance, she didn't see anything wrong, and she needed to persuade something. The only thing she wants to do now is to wait for Chen Ziyu to come back from abroad, hold her hand to complete the marriage vow, and then give birth to this child with peace of mind.
Unconsciously put your palms on your lower abdomen, close your eyes, and quietly feel the existence of that little life.
The day after Chen Ziyu left, near the evening, Chen's mother stewed chicken soup at home and sent it over. I just watched her drink a whole bowl.
Xia Qixi, who was originally fine, missed Chen Ziyu a little at this time. She doesn't like to drink these tonic soups and the like, her vomiting has been relieved, and she still doesn't like to be greasy. At this time, if Chen Ziyu would help her block it, she wouldn't have to hold her breath and drink so much.
A bowl of chicken soup in the stomach, Xia Qixi only felt uncomfortable, from the mouth to the stomach, greasy, and not good to live up to Chen's mother's kindness, pretending to go to the bedroom to get something, but in fact turned around and went to the kitchen to drink two large glasses of white water.
When I came out of the kitchen with a pat on my chest, I heard the two mothers chatting in the living room, nothing more than about the wedding, the child in Xia Qixi's belly, Xia Qixi didn't want to disturb and didn't want to participate, so he stopped in front of the window in the corner of the living room.
The brisk tones of the two mothers sounded in my ears from time to time, but for some reason, they were a little heavy when they spoke, and I always felt that the atmosphere had become a little abnormal. Xia Qixi was worried that the two old men would have conflicts because of some disagreements, and wanted to go over to mediate, but unexpectedly heard the truth about Chen Ziyu's going abroad.
It turned out that the reason why he left in such a hurry was that he was worried before leaving, and it was entirely because he was worried that she would be left alone, but Jiang Yan, Jiang Yan's mother passed away abroad.
Chen Ziyu is Jiang Yan's biological father, and they went abroad together to help deal with the aftermath, because Jiang Yan's mood became unstable. She can understand Chen Ziyu's concealment because she doesn't want her to worry considering her current situation. But now that I know it, I will inevitably be sad.
Chen's mother obviously didn't know that Chen Ziyu didn't tell Xia Qixi the reason for going abroad, and when she saw her expression, she didn't think she was feeling unwell, so she hurried to ask her to go back to her room to rest.
Mothers in the world are not all the same, and Xia Qixi naturally understands this. But even if she didn't give Jiang Yan a good childhood, and she didn't fulfill the responsibilities of a mother, after all, she was a person who had been dependent on each other for so many years. It is the courage that has always supported Jiang Yan to live hard. Now, the damage that her sudden departure will bring to Jiang Yan is unpredictable.
I wanted to call Chen Ziyu to ask what was going on, but I didn't want to worry him, so I had to give up. Every night before she went to bed, she would receive a call from Chen Ziyu, as if he had calculated the time.
It was still ordinary concern, but Chen Ziyu's voice was obviously a little hoarse.
"There's a lot of work, isn't it? ”
Xia Qixi's tone of voice was unusually gentle, although she couldn't see Chen Ziyu's face at the moment, she could still feel that he must be frowning at the moment.
Although on weekdays, Chen Ziyu rarely mentions Jiang Yan in front of Xia Qixi, or because Jiang Yan had a bad feeling about Xia Qixi before. Xia Qixi clearly knows the weight of this brotherhood in Chen Ziyu's heart.
They walked through their youthful student days together, and then started a business together.
Chen Ziyu's voice also made Xia Qixi faintly feel that Jiang Yan's condition must not be much better, and the original worry was aggravated.
"I may have to stay here for two or three more days, you have to take good care of yourself, take good care of our baby, and wait for me to come back, you know?"
I can't say why, Chen Ziyu's words caused Xia Qixi's sentimentality, I only felt that my heart was sour, my eyes were hot, and I seemed to be about to cry.
I can only pretend to be calm and answer.
Every year that follows, Xia Qixi feels like a year. I have to worry about it several times a day, and I am lazy all day. After breakfast that day, I was walking around the living room in the nagging of Xia's mother, as a kind of exercise, but through the window, I saw a bright red coming towards the door.
Zhao Jie is like the sun in this summer, no matter when it appears, it must be radiant. A red gauze skirt, luxurious from head to toe.
Xia's mother thought she was Xia Qixi's friend and was busy entertaining. It was Xia Qixi who didn't seem to be surprised by this uninvited guest, but calmly only opened his parents, and then quietly looked at this beautiful woman, who had hurt Chen Ziyu, but now said that he would save it no matter what.
"I just came back from abroad. Zhao Jie opened his mouth leisurely, and a pair of cat-like eyes always paid attention to every move on Xia Qixi's face.
Seeing that Xia Qixi was silent, he continued with a self-deprecating smile: "Are you really so relieved of Chen Ziyu?"
"He is my future husband, the father of the child in my womb, and I naturally have to trust him. ”
Zhao Jie's eyes swept over Xia Qixi's flat lower abdomen: "Even if you tie him up with a child, he may not always have you in his heart." ”
Zhao Jie always spoke mercilessly in front of Xia Qixi. Xia Qixi wanted to know if she was like this when she was in college, but she guessed that it must not be, because she didn't believe that Chen Ziyu would like such a girl who was full of anger at any time, and she was sad for her for a long time.
Now this kind of anger has become an aggressive sword, in order to get their prey, each sword is carefully quenched with poison, only to hate the sword to kill.
"Oh, by the way, Jiang Yan should be about to return to China, do you say he will attend your wedding with Chen Ziyu? I heard that he has been thinking about you day and night during his time abroad. ”
Zhao Jie was smiling, and his eyes were provocatively waiting for Xia Qixi's answer.
"You should go and tell Chen Ziyu these words, and if he listens to you, your goal will be achieved, isn't it?" Xia Qixi was calm from beginning to end.
Not deliberately disguised, but calm from the heart. She knew Zhao Jie's purpose early on, although she didn't know what means she would come up with with in her scheming, but Xia Qixi was not worried, Chen Ziyu's feelings for her were sincere or perfunctory to her as a party, she knew best.
Xia Qixi's attention at this moment is no longer on Zhao Jie's body at all, but on his own body. There was Jiang Xue before, and now there is Zhao Jie, Chen Ziyu, Chen Ziyu, how many people have you provoked outside, but now she is not in peace.
Zhao Jie felt Xia Qixi's neglect of her, and he already hated to break her into pieces, but he still had a smile on his face.
Looking at the person in front of her, Xia Qixi seemed to finally understand why she had learned nothing after all these years in the workplace, the reason was that all her expressions would be unreservedly displayed in front of others, and she would not learn to be like Zhao Jie.
"Remember to help me say hello to my uncle and aunt, and I will go to see Chen Ziyu's parents tomorrow, if you are interested, come together. Zhao Jie said and got up and picked up the expensive bag beside him and prepared to leave.
"I hope you have a nice time with them tomorrow. Xia Qixi stood at the door and watched Chen Ziyu leave with a smile.
That night, Xia Qixi turned off the phone, went to bed early, turned off the light, and looked at the moonlight outside the window. After a while, I listened to the phone in the living room, and then the voice of my mother answering, obviously because she turned off her mobile phone, Chen Ziyu called the landline at home.
She attributed her abnormality to the normal reaction of pregnant people. I don't want to admit that I actually knocked over the vinegar jar.
She understands the truth, Zhao Jie was also a very good friend of Jiang Yan, and it is normal for her to meet Chen Ziyu abroad. But in my mind, I always remember how she was with Chen Ziyu before. At that time, Chen Ziyu must have cared for her wholeheartedly.
Even, once for this woman languishing.
If her relationship with Chen Ziyu is really a fateful fate, she is a little dissatisfied with her late appearance at this moment.
At least, Chen Ziyu should not be allowed to meet a woman like Zhao Jie. She is so beautiful, beautiful and moving. It's really scheming, and it's always one step at a time.
Xia Qixi admitted that he was actually jealous and jealous of Zhao Jie. She had such a good time with Chen Ziyu. This night, Xia Qixi had insomnia.
Xia Qixi, who had a pair of panda eyes, was driven back to the bedroom to sleep after breakfast. No resistance to strength. When I woke up, the person I wanted to see was already at the bedside.
