Chapter 90: Ex-Husband
"Sir, you're here for this bidding meeting, aren't you? Is it okay that the meeting is over? Cheng Xiwen looked at Gucci vigilantly while supporting Mu Niannian to prevent him from suddenly doing anything unexpected.
"Thank you for the reminder." Gucci looked at Mu Niannian who was nested in Cheng Xiwen's arms, his brows furrowed, but he still smiled politely and said, "I hope to see you next time." With that, he turned around and strode towards the venue.
Cheng Xiwen watched Gucci go away and disappeared before returning his gaze to Mu Niannian. Mu Niannian, who is usually strong, lay quietly in her arms like a little girl at this time. Cheng Xiwen enjoys such moments.
Seeing that Mu Niannian in his arms had not moved for a long time, Cheng Xiwen wrapped his hands around her, like holding a baby, silently waiting for Mu Niannian to calm down.
After a few minutes, Mu Niannian moved his head, then gently pushed Cheng Xiwen away, raised his head, and said, "I'm sorry to make you laugh." I'm fine now. ”
"Do you feel better? Is there anything wrong with it? Cheng Xiwen gently supported her and observed Mu Niannian's expression.
"It's okay. Feel much better. Mu Niannian calmed her still somewhat messy breathing, and gently pushed the hand on her shoulder away.
Cheng Xiwen didn't speak, and he didn't stretch out his hand again.
"How's the meeting going? What about tenders? Did we get a bid? Mu Niannian looked up and asked him.
"There is no hope this time, there are too many people who want this land, and our company can't support it financially, so we have to give up." Cheng Xiwen said with a smile.
"Won't the shareholders have an opinion? Give up such a big piece of fat, they will agree? Mu Niannian hoped that she had not caused any loss to the company, and today she was too out of shape.
"Hehe..." Cheng Xiwen touched his chin with a smile, and said indifferently: "Those old men, although this piece of meat is fat, they are unwilling to let them take risks." Rest assured. ”
"That's good." Mu Niannian was relieved.
"Anyway, this bidding is no fun, let's go back." Cheng Xiwen looked at Mu Niannian and proposed.
"Okay." Mu Niannian thought for a while and agreed. As soon as he took a step, he stumbled and knelt straight down with his legs on the floor.
However, Mu Niannian didn't feel the pain, because Cheng Xiwen quickly grabbed her, and pulled her down into his arms and circled her.
"It's okay. Be careful. Cheng Xiwen told her.
"It's fine. His legs were numb. Mu Niannian didn't dare to look at Cheng Xiwen, she lied just now, but she didn't expect that she was so scared that her legs were weak and she couldn't walk.
"Hehe......" Mu Niannian smiled bitterly in his heart, it was too ironic.
"Let me help you back." Cheng Xiwen proposed.
"It's okay. I can walk. Mu Niannian withdrew from Cheng Xiwen's arms and walked outside.
"Hold on to me." Cheng Xiwen saw that she was walking unsteadily, stepped forward to support her, pulled Mu Niannian towards him, and walked out half-hugged.
"Is it okay for us to leave so early?" Mu Niannian was a little worried, after all, such an important meeting. But don't be because of her own relationship, otherwise she can't afford this responsibility.
"It's fine. I think the meeting should be over by now. We're only five minutes early. Cheng Xiwen comforted her, then asked her to stand near the wall, and said, "Wait for me here, I'll pick up the car." ”
"Okay." Mu Niannian waited obediently.
"I'll send you back first." Cheng Xiwen suggested while driving.
"Let's go back to the company directly, my car is still parked in the company, and I will use the car tomorrow morning." Mu Niannian thought for a while and said.
"But in this case......" Cheng Xiwen played with the time with one free hand, looked at it and continued: "If you go back to the company at this time now, it will be dark when you get the car, are you sure you can pick up Xiaojie?" ”
"Ahh I forgot about Xiaojie! Mu Niannian looked at the time nervously, and said embarrassedly: "Xiaojie, they are about to get out of school, can we rush over to pick her up first?" ”
"Okay. I actually just want to remind you to pick up Xiaojie first. After receiving Xiaojie, I'll send you home. Cheng Xiwen glanced up at her and said, "I see that you are absent-minded, do you have something on your mind?" ”
"Hmm. It's okay. Mu Niannian didn't know what to say, in fact, she hadn't recovered until now, and all she could think about was what had just happened.
Cheng Xiwen looked at Mu Niannian, who had been lowering his head, thought for a while and pretended to be normal and asked, "Is that the person just now?" ”
"Hmm. Right. Mu Niannian said honestly. She really doesn't have the strength to lie now, and it's useless to lie to Cheng Xiwen, and she believes him very much.
"He's Xiaojie's father, right?" Cheng Xiwen said lightly.
"Huh?" Mu Niannian looked at him in surprise, but he didn't expect Cheng Xiwen to guess it at once, it seemed that she was still too out of shape just now.
"You came to the United States because you wanted to hide from him." Cheng Xiwen still remembers that when she went to pick her up at the airport, she had a big belly, a sad and lonely face, and decided to stay in the United States alone. He also raised the child alone. At that time, he knew that it was very difficult to enter Mu Niannian's heart, but he was willing to wait for her, and after so long, he finally saw hope, but he didn't expect the person in her heart to suddenly appear again. Hehe, I don't know if it's God's punishment for him.
"Yes." Mu Niannian answered honestly, she would never have to lie in front of Cheng Xiwen, because he knew it, like seeing through her. But even if you see through her, she just doesn't say anything, silently lends a helping hand when she needs it, no more, no less, just right. I am afraid that there is no second person in the world who knows himself so well.
"Look at the way he looks and haven't forgotten you." Cheng Xiwen said a little lonely.
"It's already an ex-husband." Mu Niannian was silent for a long time before slowly speaking.
"Can you tell me what happened? Is it convenient to say? Cheng Xiwen saw that Mu Niannian's expression was fine, so he boldly asked the question that had been buried in his heart for a long time.
"......" Mu Niannian looked out the window and pondered for a long time before slowly starting to say: "Actually, it's nothing, he married me back then just to get a piece of land from my family." At that time, I was already pregnant, and I was reluctant to beat it. So...... I chose to stay away from him and came to the United States. ”
"What about the kids? Doesn't he care about his own flesh and blood at all? Cheng Xiwen was surprised, if a person still had a little conscience and cared about his own flesh and blood, he would not let Mu Niannian's mother and daughter come to New York alone.
"The child was just an accident, a weight added to get the land. A means to get me to marry him obediently, where does the affection come from? Mu Niannian still felt breathless when he remembered the scene at that time, how could there be such a cold-blooded person in this world?
"If I had a little affection and a little love for my children, I wouldn't have been engaged to another woman two days after I got my family's piece of land, and I also held a press conference." Mu Niannian muttered to himself, as if he had found out the previous wound and opened it forcefully, just to see how he was injured back then.
"This scumbag!" Cheng Xiwen scolded angrily, but immediately comforted her and said seriously: "It's okay." Don't pay attention to him in the future, I'll help you solve all the problems. If I could, I would like to take care of you and Xiaojie 24 hours a day. Cheng Xiwen is serious, in fact, he has wanted to do this for so many years, although now that he says this, it sounds very much like a marriage proposal.
"Thank you." Mu Niannian was still immersed in his own sadness, and he didn't carefully recall Cheng Xiwen's words at all.
"I've always been there for you. You have to remember. Cheng Xiwen said solemnly.
"I've always remembered." Mu Niannian glanced at Cheng Xiwen and felt ashamed of him. In fact, she knew it and wanted to think about him, but what happened made her shaken again, and now she was in a state of flux, and she couldn't answer him anything, she had to think about it, and be calm and calm alone.
The atmosphere fell silent, Mu Niannian didn't want to speak anymore, and felt tired all over. Cheng Xiwen stopped talking when he saw her, he returned his eyes to the road and drove seriously.
Mu Niannian looked out the window, there were many cars and horses, and there were busy people coming and going. Although everyone's skin color is different and nationality is different, the busy life is similar.
When she arrived at the school, Xiaojie had already waited for the school gate.
Cheng Xiwen rolled down the car window, and the little girl ran over with glowing eyes.
"Baby, did you miss your mom today?" Mu Niannian got out of the car with a smile and caught the little girl who pounced.
"Mom, I miss you." After speaking, the little girl kissed Mu Niannian on the face and said, "Mom, do you miss me too?" ”
"Of course I miss you! My little darling! Mu Niannian happily touched the little girl's somewhat messy hair.
"Then Mom, you kiss me too." The little girl pretended to be angry and said coquettishly.
"Okay." After Mu Niannian finished speaking, she also kissed the little girl on the face.
Cheng Xiwen got out of the car and looked at Mu Niannian and the little girl with a smile.
"Uncle Cheng, you're here too!" The little girl used her peripheral vision to aim at Cheng Xiwen who was standing next to her, and immediately broke away from Mu Niannian and ran towards Cheng Xiwen.
Cheng Xiwen caught a ball of meat rolling towards him, then picked up the little girl with both hands, raised her high, swung up, and said, "Do you miss uncle?" ”
"Of course!" The little girl pouted and said angrily, "You haven't come to see Xiaojie for a long time!" If you don't come again, Xiaojie, I will forget about you, and I will never play with you again! ”
"Then you can't help but play with your uncle. You don't play with your uncle, and your uncle can't find a cute little girl like you anymore. Cheng Xiwen grinned, following her pout.
"Humph! Ignore you anymore! Not only do I not play with you, but I also have to pull my mother along and not play with you. The little girl glared at Cheng Xiwen and said angrily.
"In that case, the chocolates, sweets, and delicious hamburgers and chicken legs that I will buy in the future will only be eaten by my uncle...... Because I don't have any friends, everyone doesn't play with me anymore. Cheng Xiwen couldn't help but laugh secretly when he said it.
