Text Chapter 226 Strangled with his own hands, a black box with a weak heart
"Qi Rui, you hurry up and swallow this bowl of rice balls......"
Fifteenth Lantern Festival, the Qi family is festive, this year is more special, the Qi family is looking forward to the birth of the baby, the old man Qi is in a good mood and personally cooks and makes dumplings.
Everyone sat around the living room of the rich and luxurious Qi family's main house, even if it was daytime, the central flickering crystal lamp had already been turned on, and the red satin lanterns in the garden were full of joy, but Mu Siyue felt that the man next to him was a little absent-minded.
"This is a dumpling made by grandpa's own cooking, you should swallow it quickly." Mu Siyue leaned close to his ear and reminded, "Today's fifteenth Lantern Festival, don't keep a straight face......"
Qi Rui raised a smile towards Mu Siyue with complicated eyes, pursed the corners of his lips, and his eyes were full of irritability.
He picked up the bowl and ate the dumplings one by one, but his mind was still a little distant.
"What's wrong with Qi Rui? During this time you are pregnant, and he is dissatisfied? Feng Ge also came over today to have a good time, touched Mu Siyue with his elbow, and teased.
Mu Siyue's face was slightly red, "Hey, don't talk nonsense." ”
Turning his head to look at Qi Rui, he was indeed very strange.
"Qi Rui, is it Shen Wan'er's ......" Mu Siyue thought for a while and spoke quietly, but she hadn't finished her words yet.
Bang!
The porcelain bowl in Qi Rui's hand fell to the ground, and shards were scattered.
Everyone's eyes looked this way, Mu Siyue had already seen Old Man Qi's dissatisfied eyes, and immediately smiled awkwardly, "It's me, I accidentally touched him." ”
"Hurry up and clean up, it's unlucky to break the bowl for the big holiday." When Old Man Qi heard Mu Siyue say this, his tone softened a little, and he urged the servant beside him.
Qi Rui's face became more and more gloomy, his eyes looked at the woman beside him with complicated eyes, his thin lips moved slightly, and he wanted to speak again.
"Grandpa, you say all day long that you guess the lantern fans are very good, do you want us to go to the square tonight......" Mu Siyue still had a smile on her face, she turned her head to look at Old Man Qi, and did not look at Qi Rui's complicated gaze.
"When you give birth to my little golden grandson, you can go anywhere, and now you don't want to go out." Old Man Qi sipped tea and opened his mouth leisurely, his tone revealing a joy.
"By the way, Siyue, you will stay at home during this time, it is not good if people outside bump into it, what do you want, let's have people send it directly......" Mo Xiangwan's face was also full of joy, and it was rare to persuade gently.
The housekeeper chuckled and looked at Mu Siyue, "The old man sent someone to prepare a fireworks display on the mountain behind the Qi family, starting at eight o'clock tonight, and looking for a dragon dance to help the fun, you can see it clearly on the top floor of our Qi family." ”
Feng Ge has always loved to be lively, and laughed heartily, "Tonight's fireworks show must be more exciting than the fireworks in the city center, I knew that I would bring my three pigs over to see it together." ”
"You raise pigs?" Old Man Qi is very friendly to pigs during this time, and expects his little golden grandson to be a healthy little fat pig.
"I have three pet pigs, they are not picky eaters, and they look simple......"
Feng Ge excitedly chatted with Mr. Qi about his experience in raising pigs, "When the baby is born, I will bring my three little pigs over to play with him......"
Mo Xiangwan was a little worried, "What should I do if a small pet scares a child......"
"Where is my precious great-grandson so timid." Old Man Qi looked proud.
Everyone was chatting about the baby with great interest, and Mu Siyue was also very excited, stroking her bulging abdomen with her right hand, and she would be able to see the little guy after a while.
However, when Mu Siyue turned her eyes, she found that Qi Rui's face was a little gloomy, "Qi Rui, what's wrong with you?" She leaned in and looked at him with burning eyes.
"Nothing ......"
Qi Rui seemed unwilling to meet her clear gaze, quickly turned his head, as if he was thirsty, grabbed the white jade teacup and drank two cups in a row.
But Mu Siyue still looked at him, "Qi Rui, is it because Shen Wan'er ...... yesterday" She whispered, her voice was very soft, only the two of them could hear it.
Just now she just guessed and said something Shen Wan'er, but he dropped the bowl in his hand, she just didn't want to ask in order to lie, she saw that he wanted to say something and stopped.
"Although today is the Lantern Festival, if she is seriously ill and you are worried about her, then you can go see her......"
Qi Rui held the hand of the teacup for a moment, and asked in a low voice, "Mu Siyue, aren't you jealous?" He didn't know what he meant.
Mu Siyue frowned slightly at his slight expression, she felt that he seemed to be sneering and laughing at himself, he was really strange today.
"Okay, I'm not generous, I just trust you." She replied lightly.
She believed me......
Mu Siyue's words made his eyes surge with a strong emotion, and his chest was extremely dull.
Qi Rui put down the teacup, turned his head to look into her clear eyes, and said in a heavy voice, "Mu Siyue, if something happens to this child......"
"The child is healthy, he will not have problems, and I will also pay attention to safety, I will protect him." Mu Siyue's voice was a little excited when she heard him mention the child, and quickly interrupted him.
"Rui, you're worried about your child's health all day long?" When Mo Xiangwan heard Mu Siyue's words, he immediately turned his head to look at them.
Saying that, Mo Xiangwan had a light smile on his face, and he was in a very good mood and quipped, "Rui, when I was pregnant with you before, your father was worried and anxious all day long. I didn't expect you, this kid, to be like your dad back then. ”
"That's his own flesh and blood, it's his responsibility to care about and protect the child, learn more in the future, be a good example, don't let the child learn your stinky temper." Old Man Qi choked at Qi Rui.
Qi Rui rarely did not refute, and listened quietly to them discussing the child's affairs, they were all very looking forward to the birth of the child.
"I'll go back to the study first."
In the end, Qi Rui seemed to be unable to suppress the impatience in his heart, and got up and walked towards the study on the second floor.
Mr. Qi didn't ask much, after all, the entire DM&G Group needs Qi Rui to bear, and he is indeed very busy.
Mu Siyue looked at him as heroic as ever, but his eyes were a little thoughtful.
In the afternoon, Mo Xiangwan said that he wanted to learn baking, so Mu Siyue gave full play to his expertise and went to the kitchen to teach Feng Ge and Mo Xiangwan to bake some simple cookies.
"Siyue, try it, this is my first time baking cookies, but don't eat too much, this is very hot." Mo Xiangwan held the nut biscuit with a smile on his face.
"Actually, Qi Rui's mother is not too difficult to get along with." Feng Ge lowered his voice and bit Mu Siyue's ear, Mo Xiangwan This woman spoke directly, but she was a little arrogant and princessy.
Mu Siyue smiled casually, "As long as there is no conflict of interest with her, she is quite kind, she was prejudiced against me before, but now she is fine." ”
"Mo Xiangwan watched Shen Wan'er grow up, and these two women recuperated together in the United States, of course Mo Xiangwan wanted Shen Wan'er to be her daughter-in-law, and hoped that after you gave birth to her male grandson, she would not compare you with Shen Wan'er again."
"By the way, Feng Ge, do you know how Shen Wan'er is now?" Mu Siyue asked in a whisper with some concern.
"I haven't heard any news, and no one in the circle has said anything about it, you see, Mo Xiangwan doesn't seem to know that Shen Wan'er was admitted to the hospital, maybe the Shen family doesn't want to publicize it, maybe Shen Wan'er has gone home without any major problems."
"Shen Wan'er, her expression was painful and uncomfortable yesterday, she has really been discharged from the hospital?" Mu Siyue was a little skeptical.
"What are you doing with so much of the Shen family's affairs, Siyue, are you worried that your husband will break off the connection with her?" Feng Ge gossiped and looked at her.
"It's not." Mu Siyue's voice was deep, "I just think that Qi Rui has been very strange since he came back, and he is very irritable and looks like he is in a bad mood." ”
"Your husband Qi Rui has always been this thousand-year-old cold coffin face, when did he feel better." Feng Ge teased coldly.
Mu Siyue didn't look at her angrily, and looked up to see that the clock was almost six o'clock in the afternoon.
"I said it, I know!" A low, irritable voice came from the study.
Mu Siyue was standing outside the door of the study, she was about to knock on the door and ask Qi Rui to come downstairs for dinner, "Who is he talking to on the phone?" Her heart was full of doubts.
After a while, the usual silence in the study returned, and Mu Siyue knocked on the door lightly, "Qi Rui, go downstairs for dinner." ”
She pushed open the door and walked in, Qi Rui still lowered his head, looking as busy approving documents as usual, but Mu Siyue carefully found that he signed the document and signed it in the wrong place.
"Qi Rui, are you not feeling well?" She walked up to him and looked at his grim face, "Don't refuse to take medicine all day long, we'll all worry about you." ”
"I'm fine." He looked up, but his gaze landed on a black box in the distance, just a quick glance.
Mu Siyue's eyes were slightly stunned, and she clearly saw his strange appearance.
"Let's go." Qi Rui seemed unwilling to say more, put down the pen, got up, and went downstairs for dinner with her in his arms.
However, when passing by the large bookshelf on the left side of the study, Mu Siyue's footsteps stopped, and she looked fixedly at a very conspicuous black box on the bookshelf, the box was only the size of an ordinary 16-open book, but the box did not have any LOGO indication.
"What is this?" She pointed to the black box and asked curiously, "I remember that there was no such box before, what was in it?" ”
Qi Rui's study Mu Siyue came over very often, and Qi Rui also let her flip through his documents and books, but this time, Mu Siyue just stepped forward, and before her right hand touched the black box, she heard Qi Rui scolding coldly.
"Don't touch it!"
Mu Siyue's hand stiffened in mid-air, and she turned her head to look at him puzzled, "What's wrong?" What's inside is important? ”
"Let's go down, grandpa, they're all waiting for us." Qi Rui didn't answer her, his voice was a little fast, and he dragged her out of the study with a big stride.
Mu Siyue's expression was puzzled, she looked back at the black box more, and turned her head to look at Qi Rui's side face, not knowing if it was her illusion, she seemed to see a flash of nervousness in his eyes.
"Qi Rui, are you hiding something from me?"
The two went downstairs together, and when they just walked to the hall of the main mansion, Mu Siyue suddenly asked him in a serious voice.
Qi Rui paused for a moment, raised his eyes to stare at her, and seemed to hesitate and struggle in silence, "Mu Siyue, in fact, ......"
"Qi Rui!"
However, at this moment, a hurried figure at the gate of the Qi family's main mansion walked quickly, "Qi Rui, you can't delay it any longer, I beg you to ......"
"Mrs. Shen?" Mu Siyue took a step forward, looked at the door, and was startled.
