"Then what should I do?" I looked up, my face turned up, my eyes wide with dependence and helplessness.
He pondered for a moment and said: "Leave this matter to me. If he calls again, you must first stabilize him. Don't cry. It will be fine."
"Am I... Did I give you trouble again? "
I seem to have been bothering him ever since I went to bed with him. I seem to have wished him all the time to settle all the big and small matters for me.
"It's a man's responsibility to solve a problem for his woman." The corner of his mouth curved into a smile, and his gaze turned gentle.
My eyes started to burn, and my vision started to blur again. When did I become so emotional?
Or did I become more sensitive when I was pregnant? Always easily moved.
"Alright, go wash your face and go to sleep. It's getting late, if you don't go to sleep now, your baby will protest."
He pulled me to my feet and led me to the bathroom. I followed him, looking up at his back.
I was going to wash my face myself, but he took the towel and soaked it and wrung it out.
I stared at his actions until a warm feeling began to spread across my face. Only then did I come to my senses.
Although his movements were unfamiliar, they were very gentle and gentle, as if he was treating some treasure.
The crack at the bottom of my heart gradually widened. That sour and astringent feeling made me feel that something wasn't right. I was a little flustered, but I didn't dare to show it as my body became more and more stiff.
Fortunately, I did not find anything unusual when I was washed by you.
After washing my face, I lay back down on the bed. Fatigue mixed with my pajamas assaulted me. Listening to the sound of water splashing in the bathroom, I fell asleep with relief.
The next morning, I woke from my sleep. The room was dark and the curtains were drawn.
There was no one around, so he got up.
I struggled to my feet, grabbed my cell phone from the headboard, and flipped it open. When I saw the time, I shot up from the bed.
It was already half past ten! My nine o'clock shift is already an hour and a half late! I got up in a hurry, washed up briefly, and ran downstairs. The thudding sound echoed in the living room.
The servants at work looked up at me. I didn't even have time for breakfast before I ran out the door. At that moment, someone called out to me.
"Young Mistress!" Are you going out? "
I changed my shoes in a flurry. "I'm going to work!"
"Young Mistress, Young Master Zhu said that he has applied for leave for you. You don't need to go to work today, I'll let you rest at home."
I stopped and looked up at her. "What?"
The servant wiped his hands and walked over with a smile, "Young Master Zhu has requested a leave of absence for you. You can rest at home today."
I frowned, put down my shoes, and muttered to myself, "I wish you wouldn't tell me."
"Maybe Young Master Zhu didn't have the heart to wake you up because you slept too well." She took the shoes from me and put them back on the shelf.
This servant really knew how to speak.
I looked at her and couldn't help but ask, "What's your name?"
"Young Mistress can call me Gooseberry."
She looked to be in her thirties. She had a chubby face and a charming smile, especially when she smiled. It was very comfortable.
"Ah Zu, right? Then what else did he say?"
"That's all Young Master Zhu said." She replied, "Young Mistress, I've already prepared breakfast for you. Let's eat breakfast first."
"Mm. Alright." I ate my breakfast and looked upstairs. "Where's Madame Zhu, Gooseberry?" I asked.
"Madam also left early in the morning." When Madam Zhu's name was mentioned, Ah Ju's expression became a lot more reserved.
I didn't ask any further. If Madam Zhu knew that I was trying to find out where she was, I wouldn't know what she would think.
After breakfast, when I was bored, I sat in the living room watching TV and took out my cell phone to play for a while.
Just as I opened WeChat, I saw that Xia Lin had sent me more than ten messages.
She looked at all of them asking what I was doing. She would send me a message the moment I logged on.
I just replied with an emoji and she immediately replied. At this speed, is there something urgent?
'Heavens, you've finally returned to me! '
I was about to ask her what was wrong when she sent me another message.
'Heard you messed up the wedding of Jou-Seng and Li Weiwei? 'Is it true that you left with me? '
I didn't expect Charlene to be so gossipy, not at all.
Everyone will know about this sooner or later, so I didn't want to hide it from her, so I replied directly.
"Yes."
Ah!" What was going on? What is your relationship with your husband? I heard some rumors about the car show last time and I didn't take it seriously. I didn't expect you and him to really have an affair! 'He's a rare golden bachelor in S City. If you hook up with him, you'll definitely be captured by your elder sister!
It was the first time I'd ever seen Charlene so excited, and I was both amused and helpless.
What would she look like if she knew that both I and Zhu Vuizen had received a certificate and that I was living in her house right now?
After all these years, I didn't have many friends by my side. Since college, my entire life has been focused on Yang Jie, with almost no privacy. My only close friend, Li Weiwei, even betrayed me. I think that when she came close to me, it was on purpose. She just wanted to use me.
On the other hand, Xia Lin appeared by my side when I was at my most helpless and helpless. Everyone knows how to make things better, but when it comes time to test one's feelings, it is the best time to send someone coal in the snow.
Although she had become someone else's mistress, as she had said, there were some things that could not be helped. In that circle, it was almost a tacit agreement that everyone took what they needed, so what right did I have to judge someone else's life?
As long as she was sincere with me, that was enough.
'Linlin, there's something I need to tell you. Don't get excited... '
"What is it?" "Hurry up and tell us!"
She could not wait to reply.
'I am married to Zhu Wechen, and I am pregnant with his child.'
A minute passed and his phone didn't move at all.
I backed out, puzzled, and came back in to find that she still hadn't answered me.
I didn't care. I put down my cell phone and started watching the dog-blooded portraits to pass the time.
"Buzz buzz —" Two seconds after his phone vibrated, it rang.
I picked up the phone and saw that it was Charlene.
"Hello? Linlin, what's wrong? "
"Is what you said true? You married Zhu Fen Chen? When did this happen?! "
"On the day he married Li Weiwei, after he and I left, we went to the Civil Affairs Bureau and got our marriage certificate."
"…" There was another long silence.
