She ate in silence, and Zhou Muqing handed a cup to her.
"If you were given another chance to choose, would you still like me?"
Pippi was drinking, and choked when Zhou Muqing asked this question.
Having been with Zhou Muqing for so long, Pippi also understands his thoughts a little bit.
His questioning represented doubt and lack of confidence in this relationship.
Pippi replied resolutely, "Give me another choice, and I will still like you."
Zhou Muqing was very satisfied with this answer.
He then asked a second question.
"Then, if I say, I want to keep this child, are you willing to persist for me and don't give up."
"It's not that hard to keep a child, I beg you."
His plea was like a sharp knife, cutting Pippi's heart one by one.
"..."
Pippi hesitated, but she couldn't give an answer at all.
Leaving this child is tantamount to marriage, but she cannot marry because of that agreement.
Regardless of whether her thoughts were right or wrong at the time, she did bring life to the company. She was fair and voluntary, and no one could resent her.
"Pippi?"
Zhou Muqing tentatively called Pippi.
She was in a trance for a few seconds, and said hesitantly, "I... really don't think I'm suitable for raising children."
"Well, yes. That's it."
After Pippi finished talking, he stood up from his seat.
"I'm done eating, let's go back."
As Pippi spoke, she walked towards Zhou Muqing's parking lot, and she talked about her plans for the next few days while walking.
"My girlfriend from junior high school has returned to China. She has been abroad before. We haven't seen each other for a long time. Let's get together these two days."
Pippi was obviously avoiding this matter, Zhou Muqing knew it well.
"Then I'll take you to see her directly."
When Pippi heard this, she immediately shook her head and stopped, "No need. Go back now, I'll get some clothes, and then drive there by myself."
Zhou Muqing had some doubts on his face, and Pippi immediately explained.
"I think it's convenient to drive by myself, so we don't need to call a car when we go out."
"The whole family of my junior high school best friend is abroad. No one is in the country, and there is no fixed car and driver available."
Zhou Muqing didn't say much after listening to Pippi's explanation.
"Um."
Afterwards, Zhou Muqing took Pippi back home.
She packed up quickly.
In a twenty-inch suitcase, Pippi stuffed clothes for about four days.
At this time, Zhou Muqing was having a video conference in the study, Pippi walked over to have a look, and left without saying a word.
In the evening, Pippi called Zhou Muqing about this matter.
"You were in a meeting when I left, so I didn't bother."
"good."
"Then you, be safe alone."
Pippi panicked, how could he know that he was alone?
She explained quickly, but unintentionally, she seemed a little deliberate.
"How can I be alone? Two people."
Zhou Muqing smiled lightly on the phone, "That's right, you and the child."
Pippi frowned instantly.
Why Zhou Muqing didn't believe that she was with her junior high school best friend, she continued.
"Add, add the child, that's three people."
After Pippi finished speaking, he waited for Zhou Muqing's answer, and he quickly ended the topic in a hurry.
"Okay, you don't like math problems the most, don't count these numbers."
Suddenly, the call went blank.
The two were silent for a long time.
