"Qingzhou, come out and eat some fruits." Feng Ziyan's voice came from outside. Lu Qingzhou carefully counted all of her clothes and then closed the wardrobe.
"Right away." Lu Qingzhou replied.
Feng Ziyan, who was standing in the doorway, looked at the closed door, which he could open if he reached out his hand, and she would walk around under his nose every day, but she acted as if she didn't see him, cold and indifferent, and if he didn't find something to say to her, she wouldn't speak to him for a week.
She was willing to talk to him for the past two days, but then she started to say some weird things, either work, or gossip, or ask him for an assistant, and for the first time in her life, she was willing to use his money to swipe a card and almost didn't buy all the high-end goods in the Sky Flower Market.
If it hadn't happened before, he would have felt gratified and relieved to see her like this. At least his light boat had grown and become sensible, but he was very worried about her now.
Lu Qingzhou stayed in the room for a while longer before reaching out to open the door. There was no Feng Ziyan outside. She scanned the empty hallway and then groped her way down the stairs. When she went downstairs, she looked down and saw Feng Ziyan sitting on the sofa. He was bent over with his face buried between his palms and didn't move at all. On the coffee table, there were cut fruits, placed in a flowery style on a plate. None of them had been touched.
Lu Qingzhou slowly stepped down while wearing slippers. Perhaps it was because he heard the rustling sounds, but Feng Ziyan used both hands to rub her face, lifting her head to look at him.
Seeing him like this, Lu Qingzhou's heart twisted in pain for no reason. The Feng Ziyan that she saw had always been cold and aloof. Although she was difficult to come into contact with, she wasn't depressed. She didn't know if she was the one looking at him right now, but she didn't want to think about it too much, nor did she want to investigate it too deeply.
Seeing that Feng Ziyan was hesitating, Lu Qingzhou still sat on the small sofa at the side, distancing herself from him.
"Eat it, I cut it." Feng Ziyan sat up straight, took out a toothpick from the toothpick box, inserted a piece of fruit and gave it to her.
Lu Qingzhou reached out to take it and put it in her mouth. The fruit was very sweet and refreshing and delicious, but she could still forcefully taste the bitter taste.
"Delicious, thank you." Lu Qingzhou returned the toothpick to another piece of fruit.
"Qingzhou, there's no need for you to be so polite with me." Feng Ziyan was about to say something when Lu Qingzhou interrupted her.
"Did you tell the assistant to call me tomorrow?" She said this almost without any hesitation.
"I'll call now." Feng Ziyan's hand, which was still reaching for the fruit, stiffened. He withdrew his hand, took out his phone and dialed a few numbers, and the call immediately connected. Feng Ziyan explained everything that Lu Qingzhou had said without changing a single word. After the assistant replied with the word "okay", he immediately hung up.
"I told him he'd be home by nine o'clock tomorrow morning. If you have anything to say, just say it to him. " Feng Ziyan put his phone on the tea table.
"Alright. The fruit is delicious, you eat more. I went upstairs. " Lu Qingzhou stood up. The rustling of her slippers did not sound loud to Feng Ziyan's ears, but it was very ear-piercing. He leaned heavily on the sofa and raised his head to watch Lu Qingzhou's figure slowly disappear at the end of the stairs. Feng Ziyan gently closed her eyes and then suddenly opened them.
He got up and swept all the fruits on the tea table to the ground. Some of the chopped fruits were scattered all over the floor. Some of them even rolled under the sofa and the tray containing the fruits dropped to the ground with a crisp sound.
Lu Qingzhou raised his foot and heard the sound of something landing on the ground below. Then, he gently stepped down. After pausing for a moment, she walked straight to her room. As she pushed open the door, her tears flowed down her face.
That night, during dinner time, Lu Qingzhou did not go downstairs again. It was also her turn to let Sister Xia carry the dishes to her.
Feng Ziyan was the same. Knowing that Lu Qingzhou would not come down for dinner, she did not eat a single bite. She turned around and went upstairs to the master bedroom, closing the door behind her.
When Sister Xia was bringing food upstairs for Lu Qingzhou, she heard the sound of "Ping Ping Pang Pang Pang" from the master bedroom. When she returned from mowing the flowers in the yard in the afternoon, she saw that the living room was a mess.
The master bedroom wasn't far from the second bedroom. When Sister Xia came in with the food, she was sitting on the single sofa in the room, reading some documents. Sister Xia put down the tray in her hands. In her ears, she could still hear the sound of something being smashed. She could not help but look worriedly at Lu Qingzhou, "Madam, Second Young Master seems to be losing his temper. Do you want to advise him?"
Over the past month, Sister Xia had also discovered that something was wrong with Lu Qingzhou and Feng Ziyan. Although Lu Qingzhou had left the courtyard and returned home, he had not spoken much to her, and his attitude towards the Second Young Master was very cold and casual. He would not think of sending a message to the Second Young Master when it was time to eat, or call him and ask if he was coming back.
The Second Young Master was even more baffled. During this period of time, he basically did not go out of his room. He also went out to find Lu Qingzhou, but Lu QingZhou loved to ignore him. She didn't know what to do. In the past, it was the second young master who didn't pay attention to his wife. Now it was his wife's turn to ignore him. No matter who they ignored, she would still reminisce about her previous life.
At that time, they really looked like a family. Everyone was kind and friendly, especially when they found out that Lu Qingzhou was pregnant. Second Young Master ran outside all day happily, like a child, and when he came back, he brought back a bunch of baby products and his wife's maternity wear and nutrition. How did they become like this in just over a month?
Madam Xia's suggestion did not receive much response from Lu Qingzhou. She continued to look at the information in her hands and after a long while, she replied, "Second Young Master's matter, let him handle it on his own."
When she heard the words "Second Young Master", she stopped rubbing her hands, "Second Young Master?" Madame had actually joined her in calling him Second Young Master. Sister-in-law Xia did not dare to say anything more. Seeing that Lu Qingzhou had no response, she could only go downstairs.
Lu Qingzhou looked at the information again and felt a little tired. His stomach was growling again, so he put down the information in his hands and began to eat seriously. Each time, the dishes cooked by Sister Xia were so delicious that she finished them in no time. After eating, she put the bowls and chopsticks back into the tray. There were still some faint sounds coming from the master bedroom, so Lu Qingzhou chose to ignore them all.
When she sat back on the sofa, she couldn't calm herself down no matter how she looked at the documents in her hands. Feng Ziyan was still the biggest cause of her emotions.
