Chapter 65: No Chance
An Xiabai frowned slightly, his face was displeased, but he didn't attack on the spot, he just smiled and said that the business had already been decided, and now it was a last resort to help.
"What a little brother cares." She quietly stepped back, then turned around and went back to the kitchen under the pretext that something was wrong.
Zhou Hedong was left alone to stand in place, with a thoughtful expression: "The war at the border is tight, I heard that nine out of ten people who went to the battlefield can't come back, and I don't know if Lu Li can be lucky and survive the bloody battle?" ”
An Xiabai walked quickly to avoid suspicion, so he easily distanced himself, so he didn't hear the voice of the person behind him clearly.
Before the feast was over, she returned home.
The whole house is gloomy, there is no popularity at all, as soon as An Xiabai stepped into the house, he couldn't help but recall that when Lu Li was still there, he always sat idle at home, often came home before himself, lit the lights, and cooked the meals, but now that the people are gone, the house seems to be very deserted.
An Xiabai fumbled to light the lamp and walked to Lu Li's study in the dim light.
At this time, she was supposed to make dinner, but because she saw too much oil smoke when she was preparing a banquet at the outsider's house, she had no appetite at all now, let alone eating, she just felt disgusting when she thought about it.
The gentle hand subconsciously stroked his abdomen, and said with a gentle expression: "You know that you toss me at such a young age, and you can't go to the house to uncover the tiles when you come out in the future?" ”
An Xiabai turned out the pen and paper, studied the green ink, and slowly wrote the characters on the paper with a wolf hair.
Mrs. is pregnant, Lu Li, who is a husband, should know.
When the tip of the pen moved like a dragon on the paper, she didn't know what was going on, and her expression suddenly froze.
After carefully reading the handwriting on the letter, An Xiabai suddenly felt uneasy in his heart, not only from himself, but also from Lu Li.
Lu Li's surrender to the army is obviously on the road of power and scheming, and he will definitely make some achievements in the future, and he may even become the Ninth Five-Year Emperor like in his previous life, but what about himself?
Suddenly, a cold wind sneaked in through the half-open window, causing An Xiabai to tremble, and her expression was slightly pale: "My child seems to have come at the wrong time?" ”
The fair-skinned slender hand picked up the letterhead from the table, tore it a little bit and threw it into the wastebasket, An Xiabai frowned tightly, secretly thinking about the child's whereabouts and stays, she needed a little time to think.
An Xiabai recuperated at home for several days, during which Ruqing once came to visit, and saw that her face was getting worse and worse, and her mood was complicated: "Why is your face getting worse and worse?" ”
An Xiabai raised her hand and stroked her cheek, only saying that it was boring at home, and it was better to go out and walk around at home, so Ruqing agreed that she would continue to go to the restaurant to help.
But the premise is that An Xiabai has to take good care of his body.
"Ruqing, I have something tangled in my heart." An Xiabai said with a sigh.
Ruqing's eyes widened, as if she saw the sun rising in the west, and she felt very incredible: "You also have a time when you are entangled? ”
"Sort of." An Xiabai's lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she only sighed, and when Ruqing asked again, she changed her words and said that she was fine.
"Are you alright?" Ruqing said with a skeptical expression.
An Xia Bai chuckled, shook his head again and again, and said: "Heart disease still needs heart medicine, and I still have to think about my own affairs." ”
Ruiqing was helpless, so he had to nod.
It's not that she doesn't want to take care of An Xiabai's affairs, but because she has other things to do, and now she really can't spare time to think about An Xiabai's affairs.
Shen Ya's mother is about to come, and Ruqing is struggling with how to please her old man.
Coincidentally, when An Xiabai went back to the restaurant to help, Shen's mother happened to be taken to the restaurant by Shen Ya for dinner, after all, Shen Ya was busy with official business, although there were maids to take care of the meals at home, it was not very delicate in the end, plus Shen's mother kept talking about wanting to meet her future daughter-in-law, so he reluctantly brought someone over.
"This is my aunt." An Xiabai thought that Shen Ya had helped him a lot, so he stepped forward to greet him with a smile, "I've seen the old lady." ”
Shen's mother's eyes lit up, she took An Xiabai's hand and nodded, and said to her son with a smile: "No wonder you have always been reluctant to take a look at the girls and ladies outside all these years, it turns out that there is such a beautiful and generous girl in your heart, alas, I blame you for being wrong, if it were me, I would be willing to keep such a good girl in mind all day long." ”
An Xiabai was so funny when she heard it that she almost couldn't hold back her laughter.
Shen Ya was embarrassed to fly, and hurriedly grabbed his mother's hand, lowered his voice and said in her ear: "Mother, the one I told you is not her. ”
Mother Shen was surprised, and looked at An Xiabai with a little regret in her eyes: "It's really visionless, you missed all the good girls." ”
Shen Ya sighed silently in his heart, feeling helpless, he did have strange thoughts about An Xiabai in the past, but that charming thought disappeared after learning that An Xiabai was married, and now he really only treats her as a friend.
"This is Mrs. Lu, the shopkeeper of the restaurant." Shen Ya introduced to his mother.
The regret on Shen's mother's face was even worse: "It turned out to be a lady, alas, it's a pity." ”
If it weren't for An Xiabai's marriage, she would have to force her son to attack her, after all, there are thousands of people in the world, and there are not many people who can be very impressed at the first sight.
An Xiabai is very suitable for her eyes, but unfortunately there seems to be no fate between them.
At the same time, Ruqing, who was busy in the back kitchen, noticed that something was wrong, and when she rushed outside to take a look, she happened to see Shen Ya and Shen's mother beside him, her eyes lit up, and she wiped her hand on her clothes and rushed over.
"Presumably this is Aunt Shen Shun." Ruqing subconsciously blocked An Xiabai behind her, and greeted Shen's mother with a smile, "Hello, aunt." ”
Mother Shen raised her eyebrows and was about to ask, but Shen Ya behind her lowered her voice and told her that the person in front of her was the person she wanted to bring her over to meet, and her face changed suddenly.
"You're the girl with my son's blue eyes?" Mother Shen said with a complicated expression.
Ruqing was still thinking about An Xiabai accidentally fainting a few days ago, and she promised Shen Ya to help in the medical hall, so she nodded without hesitation and smiled: "Yes, yes, it's me." ”
I can't say whether I should be happy or unhappy now, in short, Shen's mother feels that she is not in a very happy mood, because she likes An Xiabai more, and her eyes are such a mysterious thing, especially after she and Ruqing An Xiabai have eaten, the difference in attitudes towards the two people has become more and more obvious.
Compared with Ruqing's rugged heroism, Shen's mother prefers An Xibai's gentleness and intelligence, but unfortunately An Xiabai is already married.
"I heard that you are pregnant, how are you doing now?" The more Shen's mother looked at it, the more she felt that An Xiabai was pleasing, and when she saw that she often had a bad face because of the food on the table, she asked with concern.
An Xiabai sighed and said, "Maybe pregnancy is like this, I can't eat, and I always want to vomit." ”
Shen's mother is a person who has come over, so she naturally understands her discomfort, glanced at Shen Ya, and said with a smile: "When I was pregnant with a child, like you now, I couldn't swallow it, and even retched a lot, and then I found a doctor from my hometown to come over for treatment, and he gave me a home remedy to relieve the symptoms, and when I was free later, I found a pen and paper to write it for you." ”
This seems to be able to solve his urgent needs, An Xiabai showed joy on her face, and thanked her again and again: "Thank you for your concern." ”
After eating and writing the recipe, Shen Ya returned home with his mother-in-law, and as soon as he entered the door, he heard the old lady say dissatisfiedly: "You child, it's not easy to handle the temper when you play a small personality, and it's just a matter of being stubborn at ordinary times, but now in the matter of marriage, do you want to be stubborn?" ”
Shen Ya poured hot tea and offered it, and said puzzledly: "Where did my mother say this?" ”
Mrs. Shen's fingertips poked at the corner of his forehead, and she couldn't help sighing: "I feel sorry for you, Mrs. Lu is such a beautiful woman, and she is still young and promising, and she has a good personality, she will definitely be a person who governs the family well in the future, but it's a pity that you don't like others." ”
"It's because I didn't like anyone," Shen Ya smiled helplessly, "I can only say that I hate to meet late, when I met her, she was already Mr. Lu's wife." ”
Shen's mother regretted this matter: "That is, there is no fate, and it is not easy to force it." ”
She turned her eyes, raised her eyebrows to look at Shen Ya, and asked again, "Then you and Miss Sheng, how did you get along?" ”
When Shen Ya heard this, his eyes fluttered to the left, and he didn't dare to meet Shen's mother's gaze: "It's just a matter of falling in love for a long time." ”
"Do you really like her?" Mother Shen narrowed her eyes slightly, as if she was quite dissatisfied with this matter.
But Shen Ya was very calm, he never felt that it was difficult to talk about it: "I do have some thoughts about her, mother, do you have an opinion about her?" ”
Shen's mother also answered very directly, shook her head and said frankly: "It does look like a good girl, but she speaks too impertuatedly, and she can't dress up, where is a little bit of a good girl, I think if you two want to be together, I'm afraid you have to think about it again." ”
"Mother-" Shen Ya tried to argue, but saw his mother wave her hand and hold the corner of her forehead to make a tired appearance, "I'm too old to stand the toss, I'm a little overwhelmed by this journey, I'm tired and panicked, so I'll go back and rest first." ”
Seeing this, Shen Ya didn't say anything more.
Early the next morning, when Ruqing passed by the pastry shop, she suddenly remembered Shen's mother, and specially bought some fluffy flavors that the elderly might like, and brought gifts to Shen's house.
Shen Ya is still there, and because there are no cases recently, he is lax and accompanies his elderly mother at home.
When he heard someone knocking on the door, he asked people to invite guests in, and when he saw that the visitor was Ruqing, he was quite surprised: "Why are you here?" ”
"My aunt came from afar, and I guess my body was a little overwhelmed, so I specially brought some pastries and local specialties, the kind suitable for the elderly, to come and have a look." Ruqing smiled shallowly, the gap between her usual appearance was already very large, but the old lady didn't buy her account, said thank you lightly, and asked Ruqing to take the things back on the excuse that she didn't like sweets.
How can there be a reason to take back a gift sent to the door?
Shen Ya sighed, took the things in Ruqing's hand and put them on the table, and asked cautiously, "Shall we go outside to talk?" ”
No matter how dull people are, they can see Shen's mother's dissatisfaction, not to mention that Ruqingben is also transparent, frowning slightly, and followed Shen Ya out of the door.
