"Hey, Xiaoqin? It's me, Li Yong. I just returned to China... It's okay. I just want to tell you, you... Hey, why is it so noisy in your place?"
When Li Yong called, Zhong Xiaoqin was attending a gathering of colleagues.
She had decided to give birth to a child, and because of the participation of both parents, Chen Yu also compromised.
This should have been a good thing, but I don't know if she was too sensitive or if Chen Yu was a bit submissive, but the friction between the two actually increased.
Because the book Zhong Xiaoyang sent was inadvertently seen by her colleague Sister Li, the news about her novel writing also spread. Just now, under the coaxing of her colleagues, she read the wedding vows in the novel she conceived to her colleagues, which won her a lot of praise. The whole house was filled with joy.
Then colleagues started discussing this topic and talked about how pregnancy can enhance the relationship between husband and wife.
According to them, after having a child, there is a bond between the couple and they will become more and more harmonious, because both parties will consider the child, tolerate each other and take a step back at critical moments, and many conflicts will disappear.
But thinking about herself, Zhong Xiaoqin felt that it was not the case at all, so she subconsciously retorted, and all her colleagues looked at her.
Because she had not mentioned her pregnancy at work, no one knew that she was "speaking from experience." Strangely enough, Zhong Xiaoqin only said that she had just been distracted and thinking about other things, and no one knew that she was "speaking from experience." Too concerned.
Sister Li also smiled and said that Zhong Xiaoqin will definitely become a writer in the future. Can a writer be distracted? It is called looking for inspiration.
Saying this made Zhong Xiaoqin even more embarrassed. Fortunately, the phone rang at this time. Zhong Xiaoqin quickly picked it up and answered it, only to find that it was Li Yong calling.
"Our colleagues are having a party," Zhong Xiaoqin deliberately walked farther away and found a quieter corner to continue talking to Li Yong: "I didn't drink - why did you..."
Over there, Li Yongzheng smiled and said: "Why am I the same as your mother? I can even imagine what you would say..."
Zhong Xiaoqin laughed dryly, she really thought so. Before her mother came to the house, she used to just do something to help. Now that she knew she had a child, she started to be picky about the two adults.
Not only Chen Yu, but also a lot of problems were found in her body, and then she was given various instructions that made her head growl.
For example, pregnant women are not allowed to drink, which is even more important. After all, she works in the property sales department and may have more social activities.
In the past, even if her mother asked her, she would probably not be able to refuse. She would drink two drinks at least under the persuasion of her colleagues. But now that she has a child, her attitude is much firmer and she is no longer as embarrassed as before. Refused.
Because she is a woman and Zhong Xiaoqin is well-connected with people, of course those who were teasing her would also speak up for her, but in the end it was all over the matter, so she is indeed not a drinker now.
"Well, you have fun, and I won't bother you anymore. By the way, where are you now..." Li Yong finally asked one more question, and Zhong Xiaoqin felt strange but still said it.
Then he hung up the phone and turned around to see a smiling face, but was startled. He quickly patted his slightly ordinary chest and said, "Sister Li, why are you here? You scared me to death..."
Sister Li smiled and said: "Why, are you talking to your husband? You said that your husband is really nervous about you even if he calls your colleagues for a party? If you are so nervous, why doesn't he come with you? , Mr. Xu said you can bring your family members, right?"
Zhong Xiaoqin originally wanted to refute, but after thinking about it, she decided not to.
Firstly, it was hard for her to drag Li Yong out to explain. Sister Li was such a gossip, and it would be even worse for her to know that she was chatting with other men. Secondly, women were somewhat vain at times like this, anyway. No matter how there are conflicts in your own family, you still need to be affectionate and affectionate in front of outsiders.
In fact, Zhong Xiaoqin wished that the person who just called her was really her husband, so she wouldn't have to feel embarrassed.
However, after what happened, after the party was over, Zhong Xiaoqin couldn't help but call Chen Yu and wanted him to pick her up.
"I'm busy with work. You should go back by yourself. Don't wait for me tonight. I don't know when I can go back." Following Chen Yu, he seemed to think of something and wanted to say something, but finally stopped.
Zhong Xiaoqin didn't pay attention at all. She just felt very disappointed. Her colleagues all said that expectant mothers should receive more care and concern during pregnancy, but she didn't feel it much from Chen Yu.
Of course she knew that Chen Yu was busy and wanted to be considerate of him, but she still felt hurt in her heart.
At this moment, the phone suddenly rang again. Zhong Xiaoqin thought it was Chen Yu who had changed his mind. She felt happy, but when she picked it up, she didn't expect it was Li Yong.
After saying a few words, Li Yong suddenly said: "Go a little further to the side..."
Zhong Xiaoqin felt strange, but she still listened to him and walked to the side. As a result, she saw a car at an intersection, and a familiar figure standing next to it.
"Li Yong?!"
For some reason, Zhong Xiaoqin felt a sense of surprise at this moment.
He jogged a few steps to catch up and asked, "Why are you here?"
Of course she was very happy to see Li Yong again after not seeing him for a few days.
Li Yongxu supported her and told her to be careful, and then said with a smile: "There are a lot of things in the company today. I just got off work. I thought I was passing by here and stopped by to take a look. I didn't expect to bump into you."
Only then did Zhong Xiaoqin realize why he had just asked for her address, and her heart skipped a beat.
She is not a fool. She usually likes to fantasize when writing novels. How could she not think more about it at this time?
Are there so many good things in the world?
What you think is a coincidence may just be inevitable.
But she didn't know what Li Yong meant.
He obviously knew that she had a husband, a family, and children, so what else could he think?
She didn't have much experience with this kind of thing, and she didn't know for a moment whether she should make it clear to Li Yong and reject him, or pretend not to know and continue, so she could only remain silent.
Considering that he would accompany Wang Manni out in the next period of time, of course Li Yong had to leave a deep impression on Zhong Xiaoqin first.
So he simply showed some of his feelings in this way, and then suddenly "disappeared" for a period of time, as if he was sad after being rejected by Zhong Xiaoqin. With such a character of Zhong Xiaoqin, his heart would definitely be in chaos.
When the conflict between her and Chen Yu intensifies and the child is born, he will naturally take advantage of it.
So he immediately seemed hesitant to speak. Just when Zhong Xiaoqin looked at him nervously, as if afraid that he would say something inappropriate, he suddenly smiled and said: "Get in the car first, it's not early. Now, I’ll send you back to get some rest early.”
The change in Li Yong's expression was also seen in Zhong Xiaoqin's eyes. She didn't think about how someone like him, who was supposed to be indifferent to emotions and anger, could show his emotions so easily at this time. She just believed in her own judgment more.
Subconsciously, he wanted to reject Li Yong, but for some reason, he nodded again by mistake. When he came to his senses and wanted to say no again, Li Yong had already opened the rear door.
This can be regarded as respecting her enough and not making it difficult for her.
So she couldn't say any more words of rejection. Zhong Xiaoqin thanked her and got into the back seat. Looking at Li Yong's back, her eyes became a little complicated.
