Spring left for the summer solstice. A month's time was enough for everyone to change from a spring dress into a thin shirt. Although the summer dress wasn't light yet, it was obvious that everyone was waiting for the arrival of summer.
Chuxin Xia looked at her bulging stomach, then thought about her mother's puzzled eyes these two days, and her eyebrows wrinkled up.
Her stomach was no longer covering up, and her pregnant reaction was very obvious. This was already the third month and her stomach wasn't big yet. She could temporarily cover it up with fat, but there was nothing she could do next.
He suddenly thought of Chen Dongdong, that honest and reliable man.
Ye Zichen took out his phone to find his number. He hesitated for a moment, but didn't call.
"Xin Xia, I made some beef bone soup, do you want some more?" Mother Chu brought out a pot of soup from the kitchen and placed it on the table, "Xin Xia, hurry and eat a bit, then you can go to work later."
Chu Xinxia nodded, and endured the nagging feeling of vomiting. Only then did she barely manage to drink two mouthfuls of soup.
"Mom, I'm going on a business trip with the boss next month. It'll probably take half a month."
"Ah, so long …" Mrs Chu put down the spoon worriedly, "I see that you don't really want to eat these days, is that really okay?"
Seeing her mother's worried gaze, Chu Xinxia smiled, "It's okay, mom, I'm fine."
Mother Chu nodded, as if she had thought of something, and sighed helplessly, "Shen Xia, although I know you don't have to worry about getting married, mother always wants you to marry a good man who knows everything about marriage. If there are suitable ones, you can marry them. "
"Mom, why are you talking about this again …" Didn't I tell you before? I have a pretty good relationship with Chen Dongdong. " Chu Xinxia put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands, "I can't rush this kind of thing."
"You guys really got along well?" Chu Xinxia's mother looked at her doubtfully, "Xinxia, don't lie to your mother."
"Mom, how could I possibly lie to you?" Chu Xinxia went to her mother's side and squatted down, looking up at her white temples. "Mom, I'm very happy, really."
Even without a man, she still had a mother, and she was about to become one. Even though it was difficult, even though the future was difficult, she still felt happy.
There were tears in Chu's mother's eyes. How could she not understand the meaning behind Chu Xinxia's evasion? But since his daughter felt happy, what else was there for him to ask for?
"Xin Xia, listen to mom, think more about yourself, don't worry about mom. If you really meet someone you like, you don't have to hide it from your mother. "
Chu Xinxia nodded. She also felt that her mother seemed to know something. Although she didn't ask directly, her mother must have sensed something, right? He wanted to confess to his mother and also wanted her understanding and support. But there was no way she could make her mother worry.
"Alright Mom, I'm going to work." Chu Xinxia wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes, then persuaded her a few words before she left.
However, just as Chu Xin and Xia Bei left, Jiang Hengyuan knocked on the Chu Family's door.
Chu Mu was shocked when she saw the radiant Jiang Hengyuan standing there.
"Auntie, you don't mind if I come in, do you? Today, I came here to accompany you. I don't have time to spend with you at home, so I'll do it! " Jiang Hengyuan didn't treat himself as an outsider at all as he entered the door, and then began his "secret day."
"Xin Xia, what happened to you?" Earlier, Tong Xiaoxiao had gone to the United States. She had heard that a new person from the headquarters was needed to expand her business there. After learning and following up on the progress, Lu Xunqian directly assigned Tong Xiaoxiao over to him.
When Tong Xiaoxiao came back, she looked even more outstanding. With her European and American charm, along with her eye-catching ability and education, she made everyone even more envious. Because of this, her relationship with Chu Xinxia became even closer.
"It's alright, my stomach hasn't been doing well recently." Chu Xinxia took some foundation powder to make up her face. Thinking about the more obvious symptoms recently, her heart began to beat.
"Hey, are you pregnant?" Lou Lingyu, who was walking past, could not help but frown when she saw Chu Xinxia's expression, "You got pregnant before marriage?" I heard that you were dumped by your fiance, right? "
"Hey, what are you saying!" When Tong Xiaoxiao saw Lou Lingyu appear, she was like an explosive hedgehog, standing in front of Chu Xinxia with her guard up, "If you have nothing to do, then stop talking nonsense!"
Lou Lingyu looked up and down at Chu Xinxia and snorted, "You're the only one who doesn't dare to disrespect me." After saying this sentence in an indifferent tone, she walked away.
Tong Xiaoxiao muttered a few more curses before turning to Chu Xinxia, "Xinxia, you're too honest. That's why you're always being bullied!"
"It's okay," Chu Xinxia said, looking at Tong Xiaoxiao. "Don't always quarrel with others in the office because of me, otherwise you will be treated with contempt."
If it was said that Chu Xin Xia had previously been angered by Lu Xunqian's anger over him, then now, her attitude towards Lu Xunqian had undergone a subtle change. She felt that she was indeed 'wronged' now, and even felt that she should be 'specially treated' by Lu Xunqian once in a while. However, just thinking about it wouldn't make him feel that it was normal.
When Tong Xiaoxiao saw Chu Xia's expression, she couldn't help but sigh.
No matter how much he liked Chu Xinxia, it was useless. If his cousin wasn't tempted, then there was nothing she could do. Furthermore, Chu Xinxia's lack of desire made it so that the two of them had to be together.
Although she wasn't sure if Chu Xin Xia and Lu Xu Qian were suitable for each other, she knew that Chu Xin Xia was the only woman her cousin really couldn't control!
That day, he was in a dream. Although Chu Xinxia had thrown herself into his arms while being drunk, his cousin had never reacted so violently to the presence of women who had acted even more excessively in the past! Therefore, although she had only seen the scene at that time, Tong Xiaoxiao still felt that these two must have been very suitable!
"By the way, do you know any single man? The older ones don't need to have feelings, they just want to find someone who looks like they're going to get married. " Chu Xinxia frowned as she thought about it. "It's that type of marriage."
"What?!" Tong Xiaoxiao stared at Chu Xinxia with wide eyes, "What did you say?!"
"I want to get married." Chu Xinxia revealed a faint smile at the corner of her mouth, "My mother is not young anymore, I don't have the strength to fall in love with her now, much less have the ability to date her. So if I can, I'd like to find someone to marry. As long as it's in the shape of a marriage, the two of them will live together purely together, just like partners. " Chu Xinxia also thought about it for a long time before she made this decision. Now that she was pregnant, she couldn't let her child bear the reputation of being an "illegitimate child". But she doesn't want to be in love anymore, so she might as well marry someone who wants to be married but doesn't love her.
Tong Xiaoxiao's heart felt like it was being fried. She looked at Chu Xinxia as if she couldn't understand what was going on in her mind.
"Forget it," Chu Xinxia sighed. Tong Xiaoxiao was still young, who could she know? "I'll go and find the intermediary."
"Xin Xia …" Tong Xiaoxiao reached out and touched Chu Xinxia's forehead. "Are you sick?"
"I'm fine. What did you say?" Chu Xinxia frowned and took Tong Xiaoxiao's hand away. "I'm very normal."
"But you didn't hear what you said! Marriage, that was marriage! A woman's life was more important than reincarnation! So you decided? "
"Xiaoxiao, I just want to live a peaceful life. I don't need anything fierce. I used to think I could wait, but now … Maybe I can't wait. " When she thought of the stomach that would be revealed in a short period of time, the worry on her face deepened.
"Xin Xia." Tong Xiaoxiao looked at Chu Xinxia's expression. Although she didn't know what had happened, she could feel that she was very unhappy. She wanted to ask something, but Chu Xinxia shook her head, indicating that she should not ask. In the end, he could only sigh and return to the office with her.
Chuxin Xia began the blind date again, this time it was not his mother who pulled the strings, but Chuxin Xia herself.
She had signed up for the social networking site by herself. Almost all the men who met her requirements would go and take a look.
In just a week, Chu Xinxia had gone to see ten men. Lunch was also an appointment for dinner, so busy that he lost a lot of weight.
