After returning to the company, Qian Cheng looked at her with suspicion as he smiled and asked, "Mo Chi, I finally agreed to give you a leave of absence. How come you came back to work so early? You know that bully of yours found us here? "
"What do you mean?" What bullies are looking for people? " Mo Chi was confused by his words.
"It's your thoughtful and suspicious husband. He called me to ask for a wife, and when I said you were on leave, he didn't believe me at first. He thought I was trying to hide you." Qian Cheng shook his head and laughed. "You really are something, even a husband like you can take it."
"It's better than the kind of husband who doesn't know how to find someone after three days. This is called caring, what do you know." Mo Chi cast him a sidelong glance before returning to his seat. In his heart, however, he was filled with doubts. Why would Long Fei look for her on the phone? He even called the company to look for someone.
She quickly took out the phone to take a look. Sure enough, she saw that a few missed calls were from Long Fei. Just now, she was so sad that she forgot to look for missed calls. But... Why did he look for me in such a hurry?
Could it be that Cheng Yu had already told him that she was pregnant and that she was planning to create a stream of people? Oh my god! I hope not!
Mo Chi held the phone in his hand, but he didn't have the courage to pull it out and give it back to him. She was afraid that he knew the truth about her work as a human being, so she felt guilty.
Up to the time he returned from work, Mo Chi hadn't called Long Fei back, nor had he received any calls from Long Fei. Long Fei also didn't drive to pick her up from work as usual. With an uneasy heart, Mo Chi took the subway home.
Rita was in the kitchen, cooking, when she heard the door open and came out. She said hello to Mochi and ran in again. Mo Chi looked around the large living room, changed his shoes and went into the kitchen. Haven't you come back yet?
"Mister Long came back for a visit in the afternoon. He changed into a formal attire before leaving for a banquet." Rita answered.
Banquet? Mo Chi was puzzled. Recently, he hadn't heard of Long Fei mentioning participating in any banquet. Had he chased her so hard this morning to join her at the dinner party? It must be.
Mo Chi heaved a sigh of relief and did not say anything more. He turned around and returned to his bedroom to shower and change his clothes. Standing in front of the large mirror in the bathroom, she looked at her flat stomach for a long time. She couldn't believe that there was a life growing under such a flat belly. She thought of the small meaty thing on the B-mode list and a smile spread across her face.
When he came out of the bathroom, Rita had already finished cooking. She placed the dishes on the table and told him to go eat.
When Mo Chi saw that there was only one person on the table, Rita immediately explained, "Mr Long said that he won't come back for dinner tonight."
"Mm, got it." Mo Chi felt slightly disappointed. In the past, when Long Fei was here, she didn't think much of it. But now that he wasn't, she could feel the loneliness of eating alone.
She didn't even eat a few bites before putting down the bowl and chopsticks. She didn't even touch the osmanthus fish that she had ordered with her own hands.
Long Fei didn't come back at all late at night. Mo Chi was lying on his bed alone, thinking about everything that would happen after he became mother. As he thought, he couldn't help but take out that B-ultrasound list and read it before falling asleep.
The next day, Mo Chi woke up in a daze to see that the other side of the bed was empty. It was the same as the night before she fell asleep.
Didn't Long Fei come back? Mo Chi sat up, the forms of the documents from the hospital had been changed by her, so she put them into the bedside cabinet, got out of bed, washed them, and left the bedroom.
Rita was making breakfast in the kitchen, and the aroma filled the room. Mo Chi glanced at the door and the open door of the guest room, then went into the kitchen and asked Rita, "Mr. Long didn't come back last night?
"Good morning, Madam. Mr. Long didn't come back last night." Rita scooped a bowl of cinnamon congee from the pot and placed it on the dining table. She smiled and said, "Madam, breakfast is ready. Please take a seat and eat first."
Long Fei actually didn't come home to stay? Mo Chi was astonished. Ever since the two of them got married and moved back from Lin City to Bincheng, he had almost never stayed overnight. Unless there was a major operation at night, he really couldn't leave, or he was out on a business trip.
Today, he actually didn't return any. Other than the time he called her yesterday morning, he hadn't called her again in the afternoon or night. What banquet was he attending? Why didn't you call her later? Is it too busy to call? But no matter how busy he was, he should at least be able to spare the time to make a phone call before going to bed, right? Mo Chi was really puzzled.
Mo Chi took a glance at the steaming hot Gui Yuan porridge on the table and frowned slightly. He then asked, "What kind of porridge are you cooking?"
"It's round cinnamon peanut with shredded meat porridge. I don't know if it suits your wife's taste." Rita smiled.
Although she had never given birth to a baby, but she still understood the common sense that pregnant women should not eat Gui Yuan. She shouted in exasperation: "What?!" Gui Yuan? Are those the kudos you added? Why are you using a bun to cook porridge? "You …"
Seeing how excited she was, the smile on her face faded and was replaced with fear. "Doesn't Madame like it?"
Mo Chi covered his stomach with one hand and took a deep breath. It was then that he realised that he had overreacted. Rita didn't know she was pregnant and shouldn't have blamed her at all. She softened her voice and said, "I don't like it. Remember not to add basil to the meal next time."
"Alright, madam, please wait a moment. I'll fry you two eggs. It will be quick." As she spoke, she turned and ran into the kitchen to prepare the fried eggs. Mo Chi didn't have the mood to eat breakfast, so he stood up and said to her, "Forget it, I'm not eating anymore. I'm going to work now."
"Madame, how can you not call for breakfast?" Rita followed her from the kitchen and hurried after her. "I'm sorry, but I can cook breakfast soon. Madam, can you wait for a moment?"
"I'll buy something to eat outside. It's alright." Mo Chi carried his bag to the front door, and by the time Rita caught up with him, she had already slammed the door shut and left.
Mo Chi didn't want to eat breakfast because he had a bad appetite for pregnancy and also because Long Fei didn't come home for the night. She really wanted to call him to find out where he went last night, but Long Fei's phone was always off, so she couldn't find him.
Although she did not welcome the arrival of this baby, but since it was already here, she would properly love it and let it grow healthy and healthy. So although she really didn't want to eat breakfast, she went into a bakery and bought breakfast there.
In the afternoon, Long Fei's phone still did not ring, so Mo Chi started to feel uneasy. She called Cheng Yu to confirm that Cheng Yu did not reveal the news of her pregnancy to Long Fei, and then called her home.
The call was answered by Linda, who lowered her voice deliberately, as if afraid to wake someone up.
"It's me, mm …" Mo Chi hesitated to speak, and Rita looked surprised. "Madam? It's you? "What is it?"
"Has Mr Long gone home yet?" Mo Chi asked very uncomfortably, asking her to keep asking for Long Fei's whereabouts in front of Lingda was a little awkward, but without Long Fei's whereabouts, her heart was always restless, and she worked hard.
Ling Da lowered her voice and said, "Sir, you're back. You're sleeping right now."
"Sleep?" At the same time that Mo Chi heaved a sigh of relief, doubts arose in his heart. Sleep at this time? Could it be that he didn't sleep last night? Where the hell did he go last night?
Mo Chi hung up. Seeing that it was almost noon, he decided to go home. She took advantage of Qian Cheng's inattention to slip out of the office and rush home.
Upon entering the house, Ling Da asked in surprise, "Madam, you're back. Have you eaten?"
"Not yet. Just cook something. I'm not hungry." After changing his shoes, Mo Chi walked into the living room and found that there was another person inside. It was an unfamiliar woman. The woman was leaning against the sofa and using a controller to scan the room. She didn't even look at Mo Chi.
"Miss, you …" Mo Chi was a little discontented in his heart, but he still maintained a very polite appearance on the surface. He smiled and said: "Why are you at my house? A friend of Linda's? Or …? "
The woman stood up from the sofa. She turned around and smiled, "Do I look like a servant's friend?"
Mo Chi looked at her again. This woman was very pretty, and her clothes were very fashionable as well. To be honest, she might not be as good as Ling Da. At least Ling Da's skin was white and tender, and she was younger than her.
Mo Chi laughed, "Then you must be Long Fei's friend. We welcome you to our house as a guest."
"Thank you, my name is Yao Zhu. I'm Long Fei's university classmate. We met at a reunion last night and haven't seen each other for five or six years." Yao Zhu sized up the beautifully decorated house and praised, "The decorations of the house are very beautiful, no wonder Long Fei wanted to move out."
Is the decoration beautiful? Mo Chi glanced around the room. This decoration was done by Long Fei himself looking for a decorating company, she didn't participate in it at all, and because of this, she had never really cared about the house, nor did she have the time to carefully evaluate whether or not the decorations of the house were beautiful or not, and whether or not it was her type of house.
After what Yao Zhu said today, she suddenly felt that this house, whether it was the design or the decorations, were all very beautiful. What suited her was the milky white main hues that she liked. No wonder she had never done any research before. So it turned out that a house was already a type of house that she liked, so there was no room for further research.
"I remember that Long Fei doesn't like white rice. That house must have been designed by Miss Mo." Yao Zhu walked gracefully to the front of the room. She pinched the beige curtain with her fingers, then walked to the other wall and touched the beige wallpaper.
"Then what color does Miss Yao think Long Fei should like?" Mo Chi's gaze followed her figure as it moved.
Yao Zhu smiled. "In the past when we were living together, I had made the house light yellow. He felt that the color was too light and that it was difficult to live in peace. The next day, he found a company to decorate the house, turning it into a silver-gray color."
Mo Chi's hand that was holding the shoulder strap of his bag suddenly tightened. His gaze towards Yao Zhu also became startled. What did she just say? When she lived with Long Fei? When did they live together? What did this woman mean by saying all this to him?
She had always known that Long Fei wasn't the type of person to be honest and friendly. He was a man who only cared about women, and he had a lot of confidantes outside. He himself admitted that he had interacted with many women before. But it was the first time she heard someone who lived in the same house. Moreover, she had heard it from a woman. So this woman in front of her was his ex-girlfriend?
As if not seeing her shock, Yao Zhu continued, "I remember Long Fei saying that he doesn't like the white color of rice. The white color of rice gives people an unsafe feeling, as if he was standing naked in front of the public."
"Is that so?" Mo Chi smiled and said in a calm tone, "But this house was renovated by his own company. Before we were even married, he had already installed it. During the renovations, I did not give any suggestions, much less take a look."
"It can't be?" Yao Zhu turned her head in surprise, "It has only been four to five years since this man changed, right? Originally, a person's hobby could really be changed. Who said that it was difficult to change one's personality? "
"Maybe." Mo Chi sat down softly. Half of her body sank into the soft sofa. Her body was trembling slightly. Although Yao Zhu was smiling, the hostility emanating from her body couldn't be ignored. She didn't care that Yao Zhu was hostile towards her. What she cared more about was what she had said earlier: 'When they were living together in the past, they were living together …'
All of a sudden, Mo Chi felt that he was very funny. These days, because of the matter of Rita, she had caused a lot of trouble with Long Fei and had eaten a lot of vinegar. Compared to Yao Zhu, Rita was nothing. There were too many menacing women that could not be defended against a random man like Long Fei.
Why did he care so much? Didn't she not love him? Was it simply because he was her husband and the father of her child? In front of these women, Mo Chi would not easily admit his defeat, especially for someone like Yao Zhu who boasted shamelessly and had impure hearts.
Rita was just heating up Yao Zhu's tea when Mo Chi straightened his body and said with a smile, "Rita, do you have any more dishes? Miss Yao is Mister's college classmate, and our guest. We can't be too slow, can we? "
"Madam, I know, I'm ready." Perhaps because she resented Yao Zhu's earlier sarcasm, Rita purposely enunciated the word 'Madam' very clearly before returning to the kitchen to continue her work.
"That's good." Mo Chi stood up from the sofa. His body was no longer trembling as he apologetically said to Yao Zhu, "Miss Yao, please sit for a moment. I will go in and see Long Fei. I will accompany you for lunch later."
"Oh, you don't have to look. He just fell asleep." Yao Zhu laughed, "A bunch of classmates drank too much last night and played all night. Long Fei drank a little too much. I just brought him back, changed his clothes and went to sleep."
"I'm so sorry for troubling you, Miss Yao." Mo Chi's face stiffened from the smile, but she still walked towards the second floor and into the bedroom. Long Fei had indeed fallen asleep, and was wearing his pajamas. The room was filled with a faint smell of alcohol.
His pajamas... Was it really exchanged with Yao Zhu's help? It had to be, no matter how dutiful Rita was, she wouldn't take the initiative to help Long Fei change his clothes. Looking at Long Fei's calm and handsome face, a trace of anger rose in Mo Chi's heart. He had the impulse to immediately rush forward and tear his pajamas apart and throw them out the window.
She shook her head vigorously. When did she become so spicy? Why would there be such a shrewd idea? He clearly knew that Yao Zhu was intentionally showing off in front of him, so why did he fall for her trap and let her lead him away?
Half of Long Fei's blanket was on the ground, and the temperature inside the room was a little cold. Mo Chi originally wanted to help him pull the blanket, but when he saw his handsome face, he immediately became angry and was unwilling to help her pull the blanket.
Mo Chi stared at him coldly with a snort, then turned and walked out of the bedroom and down the stairs.
Downstairs, Yao Zhu looked at her and asked, "How is it? Is he still awake? "
"Not yet, there's no need to wait for him. Let's eat first." Rita had already placed the dishes on the table.
No matter how arrogant Yao Zhu was, she was still a customer after all. It was too awkward for her to eat with a love rival. She stood up from the sofa, holding her handbag and said, "No, I still have things to do. Miss Mo, you should eat."
"How can that be? Look, the food has already been prepared. It's even been prepared just for you." Mochi was courteously detained.
She smiled and said: "I had originally planned to wait for Long Fei to wake up and talk to him. He's so drunk, and looks like he won't wake up for a while, but that doesn't matter. We still have a program tonight, let's chat again later. "Oh right, Miss Mo, welcome to our reunion tonight. It's quite fun."
"No, I'm not familiar with everyone, so I'm afraid I'll feel uncomfortable if I go." Their reunion was unnecessary even if they went there themselves. Moreover, when they saw that this Miss Yao was not sincerely inviting them, Mo Chi tactfully rejected.
Yao Zhu smiled and said, "It won't be boring. People who have families and partners will all bring their partners to attend, so no one is familiar with them. "It's only a matter of time before we get back to being familiar with each other. Only Long Fei didn't bring any family members with him, so it's still a bit out of the ordinary."
With that, Yao Zhu turned and walked out, closing the door behind her. Looking at the door that was slammed shut, Mo Chi stood there in a daze. Everything just now was like a dream. Yao Zhu, did she really come here?
Rita, who did not like to talk too much, could not help but ask, "Madam, who is this Miss Yao? It was arranged as if they were very familiar with each other. Wasn't he just a university classmate? You can't let her scheme succeed. "
"Didn't you hear that? We used to live together." Mo Chi smiled, walked to the side of the table and sat down, then raised his head and said to Linda, "It's such a waste, sit down and eat together, hmm... Please forgive me for offending in the past. "
"No, I understand what you're thinking. No need to apologize." Rinda walked over and brought her a bowl of rice. "I'll eat later. Madam, you should eat first and go to work." A smile appeared on her face. After all, she had been looking forward to receiving her master's good disposition the most.
She understands? Mo Chi felt even more embarrassed, thinking back to when Long Fei teased her about her fight with a maid, even now she found it laughable. Before Yao Zhu appeared, she felt that Ling Da was already a threat!
