Chapter 40 He Will Definitely Come to Me

The next day, Li Xuanmeng opened the door yawning and bumped into Yang Cici who was just going out.

After their eyes met, the other party was the first to curl his eyes and greet him, his voice soft.

"Hello."

"Hello." Li Xuanmeng closed the door stiffly.

Am I seeing things? Why do Yang Cici's eyes look a little red?

[System, do you feel like Yang Cici has cried?]

[Maybe it's because I'm watching a sad drama at night. Don't you humans like that? ]

【……】

Li Xuanmeng silently entered the elevator with the other party.

She could clearly feel that something was wrong with Yang Cici today. In the past, the girl would always talk happily whenever she saw her, but today she was unusually quiet.

She glanced to the side and wondered if the other party had really heard it yesterday.

Just as I was hesitating whether to inquire about the news, the ringing of the phone suddenly interrupted the inexplicable silence.

Realizing that it was not her own phone, Li Xuanmeng silently stopped taking the phone, and the sound of a girl rummaging through her bag to answer the phone rang in her ears.

"uncle."

As soon as this word came out, Li Xuanmeng pricked up her ears quietly.

Is it Yang Cici's lazy and blood-sucking uncle?

Yang Cici ignored Li Xuanmeng's actions and picked up the phone.

After listening to what the other party said, he lowered his eyes and said calmly: "Didn't you give me money last time?"

I don't know what was said on the other side, Yang Cici said softly "hmm", "I will go back to eat tonight."

As soon as he finished speaking, the elevator door opened with a "ding" sound.

She turned and smiled at Li Xuanmeng, then walked out of the elevator with her phone.

Li Xuanmeng stared at the other person's back and narrowed her eyes.

[System... This is a good opportunity. ]

【What? 】

If Pei Yanchuan knew that Yang Cici was not at home tonight, he would definitely come to find me.

The system couldn't help but: [Host, you sound like you're having an affair.]

Li Xuanmeng was speechless: [...What do you care? Just tell me if this is a chance for us to meet.]

System: [Yes, yes, yes.]

Li Xuanmeng: [Can meeting each other foster a relationship?]

System: [Yes, yes, yes.]

Li Xuanmeng: [Are you tired of living? ]

System: [Yes... No, no, no.]

Not far away, Yang Cici had stopped walking at some point.

She turned her head and quietly looked at Li Xuanmeng who was standing at the door of the unit arguing with the system.

I heard my uncle's flattering laughter: "Um... Ci Ci, then it's a deal. You must come when the time comes. I'll ask your aunt to buy some more dishes later."

She looked away and said, "Just buy whatever you want. No need to bother. I have work to do. I'll hang up now."

"Okay, okay."

After hanging up the phone, she put it back in her pocket, took one last look at the door, and then turned and left.

After get off work in the afternoon, Yang Cici packed up and left the company. She took a taxi to the downstairs of the community. Just as she was about to go upstairs, Yu Jing called.

"Yang Cici, do you want to come to my house for dinner tonight?"

She walked to the convenience store downstairs and bought a few bottles of wine. As she went upstairs, she replied, "I can't today. I have an appointment with my uncle."

The person on the other side was instantly startled: "What? Your uncle again? He's being so attentive for no reason. Is he going to ask you for money again?"

"I don't know, probably not." Yang Cici narrowed her eyes. "Don't worry, we're just having a meal together."

She stepped onto the last step and spoke slowly, "But Yu Jing, can you come and pick me up tonight?"

"Sure, you can send me the address later."

"good."

After finishing the call, she knocked on the door in front of her.

Footsteps were immediately heard from inside, and a woman's happy voice was heard from behind the door.

"Ci Ci is here, come in and sit down."

As the words fell, a big golden retriever jumped out, wagging its tail and fluttering on Yang Cici's legs.

Yang Cici did not respond to the woman's enthusiasm. She just lowered her head to change her shoes, and then touched the big golden retriever's head.

The middle-aged man stood up from the sofa when he heard the sound. His eyes fell on the plastic bag in Yang Cici's hand. A smile lit up his face and he reached out to take it.

"Look at you, why are you here to buy wine..."

But before she could touch it, the girl suddenly raised her hand to avoid it, her amber eyes staring at him quietly, her tone calm: "I didn't buy it for you."

The smile on Zhou Ximin's face froze instantly.

After a few seconds of silence, he withdrew his hand awkwardly.

Li Aiyan, who was standing next to him, saw this and quickly tried to smooth things over: "Hurry up, the food is getting cold."

Yang Cici put down her bag and sat at the table, looking at the cold dishes and pre-made dishes with a puzzled look in her eyes: "Aren't they already cold?"

“…”

Li Aiyan paused and calmly changed the subject, "Come on, come on, sit down. Cold dishes are still dishes."

Yang Cici was not picky. She picked up the chopsticks, opened the wine and ate quietly.

The three of them ate in silence at the dining table, with only the background sound of the TV in the living room. The atmosphere was depressing yet strange.

After just a few bites, Zhou Ximin next to him couldn't hold back any longer and reached out to open a bottle. A girl's gentle voice was heard in the air.

"I told you, I didn't buy it for you."

After being treated like this repeatedly, the man's face turned completely dark and he was subconsciously about to get angry.

But then his wife gently held his hand.

Li Aiyan smiled and said, "Ci Ci, about the thing that your aunt talked to you about last time..."

"I told you." Yang Cici took a sip of beer and raised her eyelids slightly, "Not allowed."

"Bang—"

"You little girl, you're meddling in adult matters!" Zhou Ximin, standing beside him, couldn't hold it in any longer. He stood up and threw his chopsticks onto the ground, landing right in the iron basin with a sharp, piercing sound. "It's our business for your aunt and I to have a baby! You just say you don't want us to have one? You're not our daughter. I'm telling you, we're going to have a baby!"

The man's violent voice and actions scared the golden retriever next to him, and it whimpered and hid in its nest.

Yang Cici took a look and then looked away.

Her expression remained unchanged, and she even moved the bottle to prevent her saliva from splashing into it.

She narrowed her eyes only after Zhou Ximin finished speaking.

"Okay, go ahead and give birth, and then find a job for yourself."

After being suspended from work and living a good life at home for so many years, the couple froze when they heard this.

Zhou Ximin's face was gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and threatened: "Yang Cici, you are at least an employee of a big company. If you force me, I, an uneducated person like me, will go to your company and make trouble, and let your boss see how cold-blooded you are."

Yang Cici took a sip of wine and smiled obediently when she heard that.

"Sure, go ahead and make some noise."

"But if you do this, no one will give you money in the future."

She put the empty bottle of wine on the table, and there was a sound of clinking between bottles and jars. She slowly opened another bottle, holding the bottle, looking at the two silent people opposite her, and slowly narrowed her eyes.

"Uncle, aunt, you seem to have forgotten what I said before: if I give you money, you have to listen to me."

She supported her chin and spoke with a smile, her breath carrying a hint of drunkenness.

"Don't think about having a baby behind my back. I'll be watching you all the time. If I find out, I'll take back all the money I gave you."

Li Aiyan and Zhou Ximin looked at each other, both of them remained silent and did not dare to speak.

Because they know that this girl really does what she says.

Zhou Ximin sighed, stood up with a sullen face and sat back on the sofa.

Li Aiyan tried to play the emotional card, "Ci Ci, your uncle and aunt are old too, they just want a child of their own to stay with them. We haven't had children for so many years, isn't it just so that you can grow up well?"

Yang Cici blinked, laughed slowly, and gave the same answer:

"No."

She looked down at the time, touched her face, felt a little drunk, and stood up with a smile.

"I have something else to do, so I'll go back first."
