Tian Yufei shook her hands, and the beads she had just put away fell to the floor again.
She raised her head, her once clear eyes had long lost their luster, and her expression was so helpless.
"But, I don't dare..."
She couldn't bear it anymore and threw herself on Lu An Zhi and cried: "Zhi Zhi, I really don't dare. I don't even dare to think about the word divorce."
"Qingbao has just entered kindergarten, and the second child is only six months old. If we get divorced, how will I support them? I can't even support myself like this."
"Zhizhi, I am really scared and regretful. If I had listened to you, I would have..."
Before she could say the words to abort Qingbao, she was frightened by her own thoughts.
Then all that was left was crying.
She spoke very softly and cried very softly. A person who didn't even dare to cry hard seemed to have no courage at all in life.
Lu Anzhi hugged her and gently brushed her back with his hands.
The companionship during college is still vivid in my mind.
But in just three years, they all changed.
Feifei was once a promising jewelry design genius. She became pregnant out of wedlock. She gave birth to two children in three years, running between the crib and the kitchen every day.
The hands that should have held the paintbrush are now filled with oil stains that cannot be washed away.
And what about Lu Anzhi herself?
He gave up graduate school and the best local design institute, and became a garage owner who joked with the mechanics every day.
It seems that the income is good, but I am overwhelmed by debt, and I can't even pay the interest every month.
Thinking of this, Lu Anzhi was so full of words to comfort her that she suddenly couldn't say anything.
It’s not that she didn’t persuade or stop him.
At that time, Tian Yufei had just gotten married, and Su Liyao was extremely kind to her. If she wanted to eat fruit, he would buy it for her in the middle of the night.
Lu Anzhi joked at that time and said: "Men are like sugar cane. They are very sweet when you eat them, but they become stale as you eat them."
Tian Yufei rubbed her belly and said happily: "What are you pretending to be in your mind every day? I will definitely be happy in the future. Li Yao is very good to me. He won't be like you said."
Really not?
As night fell, the noise finally subsided.
Tian Yufei packed up everything, and Lu Anzhi also put the purchased daily necessities in appropriate places.
Only then did the two of them have time to cook a bowl of noodles.
"Should you ask Qingbao to get up and eat?" Lu Anzhi took a sip of noodle soup and looked in the direction of the bedroom with some worry.
"No, she's exhausted. She'll wake up when she's hungry. I'll make it for her then."
"Feifei, why don't you change the lock tomorrow and don't let that bitch come in again."
Tian Yufei looked lonely: "That is not a long-term solution. After all, Li Yao is the father of the children."
As she spoke, she stirred the noodles in the bowl with her chopsticks, sighed and forced a smile: "By the way, have you been bullied since you moved there?"
Lu Anzhi paused: "Who dares to bully me? Don't you want to live? I am nicknamed Lu Jingang. He is invulnerable to weapons and bullets, and invulnerable to thunder and fire."
Tian Yufei glared at her: "I'm serious, if you feel unhappy, just move back."
"Really not. I'm very happy. If that bitch Su Liyao dares to bully you again, you must call Lu Jinguang as soon as possible. See if I don't kill him."
"Okay, okay, I will reply to your message on time next time." Then he put some noodles in his own bowl and put them in Lu An Zhi's bowl: "Eat more, I'm not hungry yet."
Tian Yufei put down her chopsticks and suddenly wrinkled: "Hiss..."
Only then did Lu Anzhi realize that the wound on her forehead had not been treated: "When did this happen?"
"In the afternoon, he pushed me and I bumped into the dining table."
"No medicine?"
"No..." Tian Yufei smiled: "The iodophor at home has expired, and I haven't had time to buy it yet."
"I'm going to buy it!" Lu An Zhizhi finished the last bite of noodles: "I'm going now. Just wait for me and don't close the door."
…
In the office building, Huo Zhiyan handed the signed documents to his secretary Zheng Jun.
"I won't be attending the meeting tomorrow morning. Please organize the meeting minutes and send them to my email."
"Also, follow up with Tianrun Entertainment. If the price is right, let Vice President Qi sign directly. There is no need to report to me."
After briefly explaining his work arrangements, Zheng Jun was asked to leave work.
Huo Zhiyan leaned on the chair and glanced at the clock on the table - ten minutes past eight.
Quite early.
He felt bored and remembered to call Li Jiu.
The phone rang for a long time before answering: "Hey, boss, why are you looking for me?"
"Where are you?"
"I'm at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital with my wife to get medicine. By the way, my wife is also with me. Do you want to say a few words to her?" Li Jiu said and was about to hand over the phone.
Huo Zhiyan quickly stopped him: "If you don't tell me, it's rare to give you a day off. Why did you go to the old house again?"
"The driver of Laozhai has something to do with his family, and I happen to be able to help." Li Jiu changed his words mid-sentence: "Hey, Madam Tai asked me to go find you now. She brought you some good things. Boss, are you still there?" Company?"
"Here, what's so good..."
"Dududu..."
The call was hung up, and Huo Zhiyan gritted his teeth. This Li Jiu was getting more and more in trouble.
Half an hour later, a white business car appeared downstairs in the company. When Huo Zhiyan took the private elevator down, the door was already open.
Li Jiu stood straight next to him wearing sunglasses, with a evil smile on his face.
"Are you sick?" Huo Zhiyan glared at him and quickly got in the car: "Why are you wearing sunglasses at night? Are you suffering from red eye?"
Li Jiu cleared his throat: "I'm in good health. It's just that the madam dragged me to bring you something."
With that said, he jumped into the driver's seat, took out a milk tea cup from the passenger seat and handed it over.
"Take it away, you know I don't drink milk tea."
Li Jiu quickly explained: "This is not an ordinary milk tea."
He took off his sunglasses and said with a wicked smile: "This is Grandma's brand of Chinese herbal milk tea!"
Huo Zhiyan's expression looked like he had seen a ghost: "Is this what the Madam asked you to give me?"
"Yes!" Li Jiu kept clearing his throat to prevent himself from smiling too obviously: "Mrs. Madam specially found Mr. Gu for you and carefully prepared the secret recipe. Do you want to try it?"
Huo Zhiyan was dubious, took the milk tea and was about to insert the straw.
Li Jiu continued: "I heard from Mrs. Tai that this thing is very powerful. One cup can make you happy. Even drinking it for seven days can cure the coldness."
Huo Zhiyan's hand holding the straw paused, and he looked at Li Jiu with a look of disbelief on his face: "Do you have the guts to say it again?"
Li Jiu quickly started the car: "I didn't say it, it was the wife who said it. She also told me to watch you drink it. Look, there is a pile of medicinal powder here. She asked me to go home and give instructions to the kitchen every night. Add milk and let you drink it all before going to bed.”
Huo Zhiyan closed his eyes and threw aside the still warm milk tea in his hand, a little unhappy: "You can drink it yourself."
Li Jiu smiled: "Boss, where are we going? Back to Xishan Villa?"
Huo Zhiyan nodded.
Li Jiu glanced at the rearview mirror, then remembered the task assigned by the Madam, and plucked up the courage to test: "Hey, I don't know what the young lady is doing now. Her shop is very busy, and sometimes she is too busy to have dinner... "
"Just say what you say, don't beat around the bush. If you're worried about her being hungry, just stop by her store and take a look."
Li Jiu quickly responded: "Yes, yes, I'm worried. It's me, it's me..."
