“The marriage?”
“… hmmm.”
“Making a decision so soon?”
“I like it here, America may not be for me.”
Yu Zhensheng gave a generous laugh over there, “I think that you don’t necessarily like it here, but there are definitely people in this city that you stay with.”
Zhao Lanlan was suddenly speechless.
“It’s okay, I respect your choice. However, I suggest that if you really can’t let go of your ex-husband, you might want to be a little braver and try again. I think that his feelings for you are real.”
Is it true?
Zhao Lanlan’s heart fluctuated.
“Thanks, I’ll think about it. Thanks for the last few days.”
The two chatted briefly before hanging up. She embraced the quilt and lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling. At some point, the paroxysm of pain in her abdomen had gradually dissipated.
In the air, it was his scent.
Very reassuring.
Her hand, slowly, covered the small of her back. It was only sensible for her to stay and give her child a complete family, right? But could she forget the past?
Xia Feiqing pushed the door open and went out, Mrs. Xia immediately greeted her, “How is she? Is she alright?”
“Uh, sleeping.”
“You hold your cell phone, ah, your computer, farther away, those things are radioactive. Tell Lanlan to pay attention too.”
“Those are minor problems, don’t worry about them, the doctor said daily life will be fine.”
“Then let me get to the big question.” Mrs. Summer squared her face, “Now that the kids are there, when do you plan to go get married?”
Xia Feiqing glanced sideways at the closed door. After a moment of contemplation, he said, “Let’s talk about the marriage.”
“What to say again ah, you do not hurry the old man is also anxious ah.”
“Mom, I have a point.”
“Inches and inches, what inches and inches? I think you just can’t handle Lanlan. I told you to do it before! Now you’re dumbfounded, aren’t you? I don’t care about you, you have to cozy her up for me.”
Xia Feiqing was speechless. Elders always see blood in a burst.
He only took his phone and waved it in front of Mrs. Xia, signaling that he was going to make a call. Only then did Mrs. Xia turn around and go back to the kitchen again.
Xia Feiqing first called Pei Yajun and asked him to help settle the car matter first, and then called her newspaper to explain the situation. Didn’t resign for her, just took a vacation.
After finishing his work, he pushed open the door and went back to his room to check on her. When I opened the door, I saw that she was already sleeping quietly. The sleeping face was quiet, as if there was no disturbance.
His heart, too, settled and grew warm.
It’s amazing how good it feels to have her back …
While she was asleep, Xia Feiqing went out the door. Calling Zhao Yuanyuan, it rang for a while before Zhao Yuanyuan picked up.
***
“Hey, who is it?”
Over there, there was a lot of noise. The various screams of men and women mingled together, sounding particularly shrill. Zhao Yuanyuan’s voice was even more disembodied and somewhat disoriented.
Xia Feiqing’s brow furrowed in an instant. He recalled the depraved look of her hitting the salt the last time he saw her in the bar, and his tone went cold all of a sudden, “Where are you?”
He was glad that the call wasn’t made by Lan Lan. Otherwise, she didn’t know how uneasy she would be.
“Brother-in-law?” Zhao Yuanyuan smiled cheekily, “I’m playing. Not talking to you, I’m hanging up.”
“Are you stoned?!” His voice was lowered with hidden anger.
“You can’t even control my sister, and you still control me?” Zhao Yuanyuan snorted.
“Where are you?” Xia Feiqing repeated the question again.
However, Zhao Yuanyuan did not return him again, but hung up the phone decisively. Xia Feiqing was annoyed, and when he called again, she had even turned off her phone.
What is this?
Zhao Lanlan slept a deep sleep. When she woke up, it was surprisingly already dinner time. Coming out of the bedroom, she looked around and didn’t see that familiar figure.
Now …
I don’t think he’s off duty yet.
He just fell asleep in the afternoon and I don’t know when he left.
“Awake? Feiqing said that he has something to do in the evening and might be back later. You sit down for a while, dinner will be ready soon.” Mrs. Xia came out of the kitchen wearing an apron, having been in the kitchen all afternoon for a pregnant woman’s tonic soup.
“Oh, okay, thanks Mom.”
“Let me touch my little grandson.” Mrs. Xia touched her belly twice and was so happy that she remembered something and hurriedly retracted her hand, “You can’t touch it anymore, it’s said that a pregnant woman’s belly can’t keep circling, it will affect the fetal position.”
“Really? Then I won’t dare to touch it from now on.” Zhao Lanlan had originally enjoyed the feeling, but now she obediently retracted her hand as well.
“Ma’am, dinner is ready.” The nanny called out as she passed, carrying the finished soup from the kitchen to the dining room.
“Good, coming soon.” Mrs. Xia held Zhao Lanlan’s hand, “Let’s go, have dinner first.”
“Mom, I’m going to make a phone call while you guys eat.”
“Good, take the phone and call, cell phones radiate heavily.” Mrs. Xia admonished and followed into the dining room.
Zhao Lanlan picked up the phone and dialed out. However, what came from the other side of the phone was a cold mechanical tone, and no one ever answered. I don’t know what Yuan Yuan did again!
“Lanlan, come and eat.” Mrs. Xia called out.
Zhao Lanlan answered and still headed for the dining room first. Still not eating much for dinner, after barely drinking some soup, her heart was always uneasy and she dialed Zhao Yuanyuan’s number again. However, the result of waiting was still the same.
“Mom, I want to go back.”
“Where are you going? Isn’t this your home?” Mrs. Xia said.
“My sister hasn’t come back yet, and I’m afraid something’s happened, so I want to go back and check.”
“How about this, make a call to Feiqing and ask Feiqing to send you there.” Mrs. Xia said and had already picked up the phone. Zhao Lanlan wanted to refuse, she didn’t want to trouble Xia Feiqing, but, as if she guessed what she was going to say, Mrs. Xia had already taken the lead and said, “You’re a pregnant woman now, and the fetus is unstable, no one would feel comfortable going out this late. Even if it’s for us, let Feiqing accompany you.”
“Besides, it was Feiqing who wronged you in the past, now you take the opportunity to toss him around and toss him back.” Mrs. Xia gave her ideas.
Zhao Lanlan lost her smile. Now that the past was mentioned, it didn’t seem to be so difficult. It’s just that … it will still be nagging after all.
Mrs. Xia had already put the phone on over there. After saying a couple sentences, she handed the phone to Zhao Lanlan, “Feiqing wants to talk to you, you two talk.”
Zhao Lanlan pressed the phone to her ear and before she could speak, Xia Feiqing’s voice had already come from over there.
“Didn’t eat much at night again?”
“Eat.”
“Mom said you just had a little soup.”
“Well, I can’t eat.” She dutifully told the truth.
“Still having trouble with your stomach? Do you need to find a doctor to prescribe some medicine, how long can you last like this?” His tone was still as light as ever, but the concern in his words, Zhao Lanlan actually felt it all.
