Chapter 73 Becoming Close

Hearing Xu Qingwu's voice, Cen Xihuai retracted his gaze and looked at her with a puzzled expression: "What do you mean by unforgettable old love?"

"Aren't you looking at her?"

Xu Qingwu pointed at Yu Qing who was chatting with friends in an open-air cafe not far away.

Obviously, she is not such a petty person, but she still feels a little uncomfortable.

"No." Cen Xihuai replied without any hesitation.

He refused to admit it even after being caught in the act. He has a really good mental state.

"I'm looking at the cake shop next door, but you're on a diet, so I don't know if I should buy it for you."

Cake shop?

Only then did Xu Qingwu notice that this was the restaurant she had mentioned to Cen Xihuai before as having good food.

So that's how it is.

Xu Qingwu was a little embarrassed because of the misunderstanding: "No, let's go home."

Only after they crossed the road to a safe section did Cen Xihuai begin to settle accounts with her.

"What does my old relationship with Yu Qing mean?"

This guy even asked her about his own bad love life.

"You know it well."

"I don't know, please clarify, ma'am."

Xu Qingwu enumerated his crimes one by one: "She knows you don't like mutton, which means you often eat together. Others call you Mr. Cen and Mr. Cen, and she calls you Fourth Brother just like Dr. Xie and the others, and you didn't stop her, which shows that you are close. She also has your WeChat and dares to call you, which shows that she holds a different position in your heart."

"You shouldn't be a lawyer, wife. You should be writing detective stories."

Xu Qingwu: “.”

Xu Qingwu didn't want to pay attention to him anymore. She pulled her hand out of his with a cold face and walked forward quickly.

Cen Xihuai was tall and had long legs. He walked up to her in three or two steps and held her hand again. Xu Qingwu struggled to shake it off, but Cen Xihuai refused.

"Let me explain."

"Who knows whether you are explaining or quibbling?"

"Lawyer Xu, even the most heinous criminals should have the right to appeal, right?"

"Okay, go ahead."

"We do eat together often. I don't deny that she is close to Xie Ying and the others. I do have her WeChat and I answer her voice calls."

"Are you appealing or admitting guilt?"

"Just listen to me, don't rush my wife."

Cen Xihuai suppressed the inappropriate urge to pinch her round face and said seriously, "Chi Chu liked her before."

Xu Qingwu was dumbfounded: "Huh?"

"So she sometimes eats with us, and we keep in touch on WeChat about work. As for Fourth Brother..." Cen Xihuai paused, "I've forbidden her from calling him that, including Xie Ying and the others."

After he said that, Xu Qingwu understood.

Why did Chi Chu show up that day, and why did Xie Ying tell him not to call him "Fourth Brother" when playing golf?

"Lawyer Xu, am I acquitted?"

In the sunshine, Cen Xihuai had a faint smile on his face. The coldness around him faded away at some point, and he looked gentle and warm, attracting the attention of the girls passing by.

This face is original sin.

He accidentally had affairs with countless women.

Cen Xihuai tightened his grip on her, forcing her to answer. Xu Qingwu said reluctantly, "I guess I misjudged it."

“Can I apply for compensation?”

"Don't push your luck. Who knows if you might have sent out a signal that was misunderstood?"

"If you want to accuse someone, you can always find a pretext. Although I have a clear conscience, it is also my fault that Madam misunderstood me."

Cen Xihuai looked at her deeply, with a helpless look as if to say, "There's nothing I can do if you insist on convicting me."

This expression is too inconsistent with Cen Xihuai.

Xu Qingwu inexplicably felt like laughing. Since Yu Qing's matter was already clear, she finally did not slander the good person and asked him what compensation he wanted.

"Call me Fourth Brother?"

"what…"

"I want to get closer to my wife."

"."

The boomerang still hit her in a way she had never expected.

Xu Qingwu felt like he was taking revenge on her because she said Yu Qing called him Fourth Brother, which meant they were close, so he now wanted her to prove it herself.

It was so awkward that Xu Qingwu couldn't even shout out.

The result was that I cried and shouted over and over again at night...

On Monday afternoon, Xu Qingwu took a leave of absence to accompany Cen Yue to the prenatal checkup.

Because they had almost been caught last time, the two of them changed to a private hospital with greater privacy.

Cen Yue is almost two months pregnant, but there is no obvious change in her belly. The small soybean has grown to the size of a small grape, and her regular heartbeat can be heard.

"Qingwu, did you hear that?"

“I heard it!”

"Me too!"

Both of them felt that life was miraculous. How could such a tiny thing have a heartbeat?

The doctor performed an ultrasound and did blood and urine tests to rule out ectopic pregnancy and confirmed that everything was normal. He prescribed some folic acid and vitamins for her and told her to stay in a good mood.

Cen Yue went to queue up to get medicine, and Xu Qingwu went to the bathroom to wash her hands.

She didn't expect to see her ex-boyfriend here.

He Xu was holding a check list in his hand. The woman with short and neat hair next to him was He Xu's boss. The woman looked to be four or five months pregnant and was angry at him. He Xu was coaxing her in a humble manner.

He Xu was a year older than her and pursued her for two years during his graduate studies. Xu Qingwu finally agreed the year he graduated. After they got together, He Xu was busy finding a job and Xu Qingwu was busy graduating. They were rarely together and Xu Qingwu did not have much sense of being in a real relationship.

Seeing the restroom sign, Xu Qingwu walked over quickly.

He Xu also saw her.

No longer the cold and inaccessible beauty she usually was, Xu Qingwu now looked like a well-watered flower, a look he had never seen before.

Although his new girlfriend bought him a house and a car, she had a very bad temper, especially after she got pregnant unexpectedly, she would get angry every day and scold him like she was scolding her son. He was scolded as soon as he opened his eyes, scolded at work and scolded when he got home. Every time this happened, he began to miss Xu Qingwu's gentleness.

The inspection was not over so quickly, and He Xu followed Xu Qingwu as if possessed.

"Clear mist."

Xu Qingwu was washing her hands and frowned when she saw He Xu in the mirror.

"I was drunk and said some nonsense before. I apologize to you."

"unnecessary."

Xu Qingwu tried to go around, but He Xu stood in front of her.

"Qingwu, I'm really sorry. You're the only one I like. I'll break up with her after the house is transferred to my name. With the house, our second half of life will be much easier."

Is this human language?

Before the breakup, He Xu had always been a gentle and considerate senior in her eyes. After the breakup, she thought he was just being snobbish by clinging to his female boss. Unexpectedly, she discovered today that he was a complete villain.

Xu Qingwu's eyes were cold: "You came with her for a prenatal checkup today, right? Aren't you afraid of retribution for lying to her like this?"

He Xu said indifferently: "Being poor is the biggest retribution. It's not certain whether her child will be mine."

Xu Qingwu: "..."

He Xu tried to pull her hand, and continued to coax her: "She will give me the house next month. When I get the house, we will get married and make peace."

Xu Qingwu almost vomited: "Stay away from me, I'm married."

He Xu was stunned at first, then laughed: "Qingwu, you still can't let me go."

Why don't you even wear a wedding ring when you get married?

He Xu thought Xu Qingwu was deliberately trying to piss him off, and now he felt that he had a great chance of making amends, so he couldn't help but straighten his back.

Xu Qingwu felt that he was either deaf or mentally ill.

There were people coming and going here, and people looked at them from time to time. She didn't want to have any entanglement with He Xu.

"Your girlfriend is out."

He Xu was startled and looked over subconsciously.

Xu Qingwu took the opportunity to bypass him and left quickly.

He Xu quickly realized that he had been deceived, and he felt itchy as he looked at Xu Qingwu's back.
