After his meal, Mo Chi went up to see Long Fei before going to work. Looking at him, it wasn't out of concern, but because she was waiting for him to wake up. She wanted to ask him about Yao Zhu and what was the meaning of bringing her home. But Long Fei didn't wake up. He didn't even feel any pain from her pinch. It seemed that he really was quite drunk.
Mo Chi went to work as usual in the afternoon. Because he was too busy, he forgot what had happened today at noon. Only after work did he suddenly remember that he was pregnant and couldn't be too busy. He remembered that Long Fei was still sleeping at home and Yao Zhu was still glaring at him. This series of incidents made her suddenly feel exhausted.
"Mo Chi, along the way, do you want me to send you off?" Qian Cheng stopped the car in front of her, rolled down the window, and said with a smile.
Mo Chi shook his head instinctively, "No need, thank you, Director Qian. It's very convenient for me to take the subway."
Although she didn't see the meaning behind Qian Cheng's words to her, but due to the misunderstanding last time, she felt that it was necessary for her to set an example and distance herself from him. Otherwise, how could she have the confidence to care about Long Fei's colorful private life?
When Mo Chi returned home, Long Fei was still sleeping, and Rita called for dinner. She shook her head and said she would eat later, so she went back to the bedroom to shower and change. When she came out of the bathroom, she heard Long Fei's phone was ringing. She walked over and picked it up to take a look. The name 'Yao Zhu' was beating on it. It seemed like that Miss Yao had called him.
Was the call that positive? Mo Chi thought angrily as he placed the phone beside him. Yao Zhu didn't seem to plan to give up. She had to wait for him to pick up the phone and call her three times. Long Fei was annoyed by the ruckus and grabbed his blanket to cover his head.
The fourth time the phone rang, Long Fei was so annoyed that he reached his head out of the quilt. He flipped his hand and grabbed the phone before pressing the answer button. With an extremely impatient tone, he shouted, "Who is it? Are you done yet?! "
Yao Zhu, who was on the other end of the phone, was frightened by him and angrily scolded, "Did you eat gunpowder?"
"It's you?" "What is it?" Long Fei's tone softened, but there was still some dissatisfaction in his tone. He had always hated being disturbed while sleeping.
"What did you say?" You're not still sleeping, are you? "Hurry up and get up. Everyone is waiting for you." Yao Zhu urged.
Long Fei felt a bit dizzy. He lifted his wrist to look at the date and time on it. Only then did he recall the reunion he had with his classmates. He rubbed his eyes with his palms and became a lot more clear-headed. He said, "Alright, you guys play first. I'll be there in a while."
"Qing Hu Manor Resort, hurry up, don't make us wait too long." With that, Yao Zhu hung up.
Long Fei put the phone beside the pillow, turned around and sat up from the bed. The moment he got up, he saw Mo Chi standing at the end of the bed, staring at him. He was startled, then smiled: "What? There's no program today? "
His smile was not as gentle as it used to be. Instead, it had a faint hint of mockery. Mo Chi did not understand what he meant. She looked at him and asked, "What do you think I should do?"
"The exhibition of Long Han's paintings in Lin City will only end tomorrow, right? Why did you come back so quickly after only one day?" Long Fei leaned against the headboard, looking at her with eyes burning with anger.
Mo Chi was astonished in his heart. He didn't expect Long Fei to mistake the leave he applied for yesterday to attend the Dragon Han art exhibition in Lin City. It turned out that he had misunderstood. In fact, she hadn't seen Long Han ever since they entered the hospital.
"What are you talking about?" What does the end of the Long Han Painting Exhibition have to do with me? " Mo Chi looked at him.
Long Fei sneered, took a cigarette from the bedside table, lit it, and lightly took a drag. The cigarette flew to her side: "Do you still want to hide it? If you weren't attending Long Han's art exhibition, why did you take a leave of absence? "Why don't you answer the phone?"
"I applied for leave to …" Mo Chi suddenly swallowed his words. She applied for leave to go to the hospital to help with the flow of people. However, if he said this reason, it would probably make Long Fei angrier. It would be better to just let him misunderstand him and Long Han. Moreover, seeing Long Fei's attitude, she was even less willing to tell him the truth about her pregnancy.
"What is it? Did he come up with a different reason? "Then I'll just admit it." After pressing a single puff of smoke into the ashtray, Zhaifei threw back the covers and got out of bed. He went into the bathroom, showered, shaved, and then selected a suit from the closet and put it on.
"I'm taking a leave of absence to go to the Yu Family. Qian Ning has something to discuss with me." Mo Chi hesitated to tell this lie.
Long Fei sneered, "Why didn't she contact you when I called Qian Ning? Is lying a bit of a technique, okay? "
Mo Chi did not say anything. She rarely lied, but unfortunately, even this very few times he noticed her, she had nothing to say.
In the mirror he saw Mochi in a little knee-length gown, his hair loose on his shoulders, apparently on his way to some dinner party. He had doubts in his heart, and couldn't help but use an indifferent tone to ask, "You just came back and you want to go out?"
Mo Chi took out a set of jewellery that Long Fei had bought for her to attend the banquet. He hung them on his body one by one as he said, "Don't you think you're ridiculous? I was just sleeping so soundly that I couldn't even wake up from the phone call, how can you be sure that I just came back? Are you that confident that you can achieve such a thing? "
Long Fei frowned and turned around to look at her, not understanding the meaning behind her words. He was sure that she had come back because it was getting dark and she had come home at about this time. Did she not work today?
"I came back at noon today and almost missed a good show. Do you want to know what kind of show it is?"
"What do you mean?" Long Fei felt that something was wrong and furrowed his brows.
Mo Chi pointed to the pajamas that he threw on the hanger and said, "Your ex-girlfriend is helping you change your clothes. Of course, there might be something even more exciting, but I just don't have the nerve to guess. I even had the chance to play a trick on the beautiful Miss Yao."
"What did she tell you?" Long Fei suddenly twisted her arm, flustered and exasperated.
Mo Chi was in excruciating pain from his grasp. He looked down at his arm, and his voice was taunting, "I've told her everything that needs to be said. She also told me that your wallpaper changed from pink to purple to silver gray, saying that you were once very happy. Long Fei, you have the nerve to question me. Why didn't you review yourself? "
"So what? I have indeed been together with Yao Zhu before, but didn't you not care, didn't you not love me? You just have to fly to Lin City to join your art exhibition. I don't have time to chat with you right now, so I'll be leaving first. " Long Fei suddenly flung her off and turned around to walk out of the bedroom. Mo Chi's steps became unsteady from his shaking, and his body wobbled as he fell onto the sofa.
Today's Long Fei had indeed changed, becoming different from before. In the past, whenever she talked about other women, Long Fei would always hug her, coaxing and assuring her. Today, not only did he not do so, he even admitted the relationship between him and Yao Zhu.
Compared to Yao Zhu, she was far too inferior. Not only did she lack the spirit of others, but also the fiery figure of others. The only thing that had an advantage over him was that she was younger than him.
Women like Yao Zhu, who were sometimes seductive and sometimes professional, were very popular with men, she knew that very well.
Mo Chi walked out of the bedroom just in time to see Long Fei's back as he flung the door open. Ling Da stood by the door with a terrified expression, looking at the door that was slammed shut, then looking at the floor above, not knowing what to do. Mo Chi waved at her and said, "Lingda, come up here for a while."
She followed Mo Chi into the bedroom. Mo Chi sat down in front of the dressing mirror and said, "Help me make some makeup for the evening. It will go with my clothes. Hmm …" "As little makeup as possible."
Rita nodded and looked at her reflection in the mirror. "Well, do you want to be more serious or sexy or pure?"
Mo Chi thought about it for a while and asked, "What type of people do you think are the most lacking in the banquet?"
"I think it's a bit purer, because the parties are all in formal attire, and most women only try their best to show their backs to others, and most men love this kind of stuff, so it's a trend. If Madame does not want to attract anyone, it would be better to maintain her original appearance, pure and cute, which is the most suitable attire for Madame. "
"I don't need to attract any colored gazes. I just need everyone to admire me, regardless of whether I'm a man or a woman."
"I see. Madam, close your eyes and let me give you some powder."
"Un, don't wipe it too much. I don't like too much makeup." On the one hand, Mo Chi really didn't like too much makeup, on the other hand, he was pregnant and didn't want his love and beauty to affect the development of the fetus, even though it was a very inopportune time.
Usually, she rarely wore makeup, so her skin was exceptionally good. Just by brushing a little bit of powder on top of it, she could make people feel as if she was brand-new. Even Linda couldn't help but praise, "Madam, your skin is really good, no wonder Mr. Long likes you."
"He doesn't like me because my skin is good." Mo Chi smiled sadly. "Mr. Long is not such a shallow person. He only likes the appearance of women. It must be his wife's loveliness and kindness that has attracted him."
"Wrong, it's not because of being cute or kind." Mo Chi was still smiling. Was she cute or kind? There were very few people who praised her like this. When she was with Long Fei, besides willfulness, she was indifferent. It would be weird if Long Fei found her cute.
Rita was silent. She didn't know what to say, so she focused on her work. After a moment of silence, Mo Chi spoke again, "He didn't marry me because he liked me, but because he wanted to take revenge on his own younger brother."
"Huh?" Rita's hand shook as she held the powder puff and looked at her in astonishment.
"Are you surprised, too? "Why do you feel surprised?" Mo Chi opened his eyes and looked at her.
"Yes …" "Because I think Mr. Long is a very good person, and I can see that he is very fond of his wife. It is impossible to pretend that he likes her, but I don't think he treats her well."
Is that so … In his heart, Mo Chi secretly asked himself, why does he always feel that Long Fei's love is so unreal? She kept having the feeling that Long Fei pampered her because he had gotten her sincerity earlier on and then flaunted himself in front of Long Han.
I wish that she thought too much of it. I wish that the two brothers could be as peaceful as she was on the surface!
Rita's makeup skills were indeed top-notch. Looking at his reflection in the mirror, Mo Chi felt that he wasn't the only one. It seemed that what he said was absolutely true, especially when it came to her heart.
"Thank you. I'll be leaving first." With a smile of satisfaction, Mo Chi walked out of the wardrobe with a light coloured bag. Rita, who was behind her, asked urgently, "Ma'am, why don't you go out to eat? It's all done. "
"No need, there's a lot of delicious food in the banquet." Mo Chi waved at her, then pulled open the door and walked out.
