Chapter 59 Love Moon 059 "In order to be able to...
He Chuyue's pupils shrank slightly.
Qin Tai hasn't reacted yet: "Zhi Yan he..."
Dai Wenchun, who had seen the expressions of the others, knew that He Chuyue had already reacted. He no longer cared about what the people around him said, but looked at Xiao Zhiyan: "Professor Xiao, do you have anything to say?"
"Aunt." He Chuyue stood in front of him, "I didn't let him say it."
“Bang!”
The table shook, and even the dishes and chopsticks shook.
"You really did know! You really did know it a long time ago! He Chuyue, what's wrong with you? What kind of magic potion did he give you that made you want to be with him even though you knew he was an experimenter? Have you forgotten He Changda——"
Dai Wenchun's face flushed red, and his lips trembled: "Or...he deliberately made you pregnant..."
"No, Auntie, you are just imagining things. We——"
"Chu Yue." Xiao Zhiyan had already pulled her back, "Sit down first."
She was forced back to her seat. She was about to speak but was interrupted by Dai Wenchun: "Don't give me that! Xiao Zhiyan, I just want to ask you one question, are you willing to resign?"
"Auntie..."
He Chuyue frowned and felt the hand on her shoulder shake.
"Wenchun, what nonsense are you talking about?" Qin Tai pulled her hand, "Are you going to ask Zhiyan to resign and let Niuniu earn money to support the family alone?"
"Get out of my way!"
Dai Wenchun pushed Qin Tai with such force that he sat down. Even the chair moved back a few inches, making an unpleasant noise as it rubbed against the ground.
"At the beginning, I asked you to check whether there is a person named Xiao Zhiyan in Beijing University. Is this how you checked it for me? I don't believe that you can find out that he is a professor but not that he was hired back to China as an associate professor in the laboratory!"
Qin Tai's expression said it all. Dai Wenchun snorted coldly: "You two teamed up to deceive me? Fine, fine, fine!"
"Aunt——"
"Don't call me! I'm not your aunt! He Chuyue, I found so many blind dates for you, but you didn't like any of them. In the end, you just like him, right? You just like the one who does experiments?"
As if it was hard to accept, there was a gleam in the corners of her angry eyes, she seemed to want to say something but hesitated, and in the end she just shook her head.
"Just leave when you're done eating."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and was about to leave, but Xiao Zhiyan suddenly said, "Aunt, the work in the laboratory will not take up your time in life, and the things you are worried about will not happen."
"What qualifications do you have to explain to me now?" Dai Wenchun laughed as if he had heard a great joke. "What a foolish dream! Promises are the most unreliable things in the world. How can I trust you?"
"Aunt, I believe in him." He Chuyue stood up, "Just because I believe in him."
"you......"
He Chuyue was afraid that what she said would hurt her, so she explained in a steady and gentle tone: "Aunt, I know you are afraid that he will become the second He Changda, I understand. But what He Changda did was due to his character, and has nothing to do with what job he does or what position he holds. He is my husband now, and we are one. I will not ask him to change anything he has not asked me to change. Aunt, you are my family, I would like to ask you to trust me and trust him, okay?"
Dai Wenchun narrowed his eyes: "Husband and wife are one, what a husband and wife! He Chuyue, I think you have forgotten the pain after the wound has healed. You... well, I am old after all, and my children don't listen to me anymore. I have grown independent."
"Aunt——"
"Then why are you still staying in my house? Get out! Get out!"
"......"
The eardrum-shaking angry voice resounded, and Dai Wenchun, who was shaking with anger all over, realized belatedly what he had said and a flash of regret flashed across his face.
She wanted to say something, but when she saw He Chuyue leaning in Xiao Zhiyan's arms, she felt that all explanations were pale.
She has already made her choice, so it's useless to say anything to others... Just like thirty years ago, her sister broke up with her family because of that man and never saw her mother until she died.
Thirty years later, the thing she feared most happened.
For a man...
She saw He Chuyue crying, and she had so many things to say but was afraid that if she said them, they would hurt others. Dai Wenchun stood there for a long time, but in the end said nothing. He turned around, went back to his room and closed the door.
......
Before leaving, He Chuyue talked for a long time at the door of Dai Wenchun's room, but there was still no movement inside. Qin Tai couldn't bear it, so he comforted her and sent her out the door.
After they left, he walked to the door and said a few more words. Seeing no response, he sighed, "It would be better if they are all at peace. If they give you a way out, just back off. Why are you doing this?"
No one answered. Qin Tai shook his head, walked to the window, and watched the SUV drive out of the community.
In the car, He Chuyue sat with her arms folded, not saying a word.
Xiao Zhiyan glanced at her several times, "Are you okay?"
She hummed softly.
Glancing at her gloomy brows through the rearview mirror, he said, "Auntie was angry, and what she said was against her will."
She paused for a moment, looked over, and curled her lips: "I know."
Looking forward, dark clouds covered half of the sky, and it looked gray as if it was a large net that was being woven and slowly gathered.
He Chuyue looked away and sighed.
It’s not just the changeable weather that’s getting gloomy.
-
After that day, He Chuyue went to the staff dormitory every time she got off work. Either Dai Wenchun was not at home or Qin Tai was there alone. As Wang Zhenzhen's case went to trial, He Chuyue became increasingly busy and went to the family building less and less frequently.
Even though Dai Wenchun avoided her, He Chuyue still called her when she was free. If she didn't answer, she would call Qin Tai.
That day, Xiao Zhiyan finished work and returned to the bedroom. He saw that the light was still on, and the person on the bed was breathing evenly. The phone next to him was still on, and the screen showed Dai Wenchun's contact page.
He sighed, put his locked phone on the bedside, and put her exposed hand under the quilt. After making sure that the pillow behind my waist was not crooked, I picked up my phone and left the bedroom.
In the dim living room, the man on the sofa remained in the same position, and the mobile phone in his hand made a busy tone.
The faint light became the only illumination, stimulating his eyes but he still did not blink. Until a phone call popped up on the top of the screen and he picked up it.
Qin Tai: "It was you who called just now. I went to get some water and didn't answer the phone."
As if he was afraid of alarming people, he lowered his voice and said, "Your aunt has been ill these past two days. Tell Chu Yue not to come recently. I'll find another opportunity later."
Also afraid of disturbing the sleeping person, Xiao Zhiyan lowered his voice: "Auntie, are you okay?"
"Alas, it's inevitable for people to get sick when they get older. Minor illnesses are nothing to worry about. I held back on telling you about Niuniu's calls these past few times, but I didn't answer her call just now, so I decided to talk to you. Tell Niuniu not to worry, the old lady is just being stubborn, I'll try to persuade her again."
"Okay." He agreed, and after thinking for a while, he finally spoke, "Aunt goes to the market to buy fish every Thursday, right?"
The other party was stunned: "How do you know?"
"You said that last time when you taught me sweet and sour fish."
Qin Tai, who had unintentionally exposed the information, recalled and vaguely remembered that there was such a thing. He realized what he was going to do and advised: "Zhiyan, listen to your uncle. Your aunt is stubborn. There are some things that others can't tell her. Give her some time and she will figure it out herself."
Xiao Zhiyan lowered his eyes, "Chu Yue has been very tired at work these days. Although she eats up her lunch every day, she is not happy."
Qin Tai fell silent.
The man, whose smooth profile was illuminated by the light, raised his eyes and said firmly, "This matter started with me. I think I should talk to my aunt in person."
"How do you want to talk? She wants you to resign from your position in the lab now. Do you want to resign?"
"I won't."
"and you--"
"Uncle, Chu Yue doesn't want me to give up my job for her. I won't go against her will, so I can't resign. I listen to her."
"You mean, if Chu Yue asked you to quit, would you really quit?"
"meeting."
Qin Tai didn't speak for a long time. After taking a breath, he finally said earnestly: "Zhi Yan, uncle knows that you are a good child. You have seen how good Chu Yue is to your uncle, but husband and wife should not just cater to each other blindly. You..."
"I understand, uncle."
He twisted his fingertips and moved the fingers holding the phone, as if thinking about how to explain.
"In the first 28 years before I met Chu Yue, there was no one in my world except my parents and brother. I thought I would live a lonely and boring life, but Chu Yue's appearance broke it all. She made me realize that my brain is not only filled with biochemical knowledge and experiments, but also can be occupied by a person, a person who makes me miss and be attached to him."
In the quiet living room, a clear voice was soft but powerful: "Rather than being accommodating, it's more like I did it for my own selfish reasons. For the selfish reason of being able to grow old with her."
-
One evening, Xiao Zhiyan received a message from He Chuyue, saying that she had to work overtime and asked him to pick her up later. He replied with a hello, changed direction towards HC, and turned to the family building.
After calculating the time, he parked his car downstairs and walked directly to the nearest vegetable market.
Sure enough, in front of the seafood stall, Xiao Zhiyan saw Dai Wenchun taking the bag.
Walk closer, hear the amount to be paid and scan the code. At the same time, a mechanical female voice announces the number. Dai Wenchun was stunned when he saw the person coming, then he looked away.
"Aunt." Xiao Zhiyan nodded to the stall owner and naturally took the plastic bag next to him.
The stall owner had been watching, and now seeing someone paying and helping to carry the bag, he knew that the two had a special relationship, so he smiled and said, "Auntie, this is..."
Dai Wenchun was a little reluctant, but he couldn't lose face in front of outsiders. "This is my nephew's son-in-law. He knew I couldn't lift it by myself, but he came to help."
"Oh! He's Sister Chu Yue's boyfriend! He's so handsome, and a perfect match for Sister Chu Yue!"
The stall owner praised the man for five minutes before letting him go.
Leaving the stall, Dai Wenchun's smiling face fell instantly. He glanced at Xiao Zhiyan who was one step behind him and said unhappily: "I will transfer the money for the fish to you."
"No need, auntie."
She was about to say something, but she glared at the man with a steady pace and didn't say anything ugly. "What are you doing here? Are you willing to resign?"
“I’m not going to quit.”
After they stopped walking, they stood under the street light, one in front of the other. The wind whistled in their ears, bringing the chill of winter.
Dai Wenchun frowned and looked at him, his chest rising and falling violently: "Then what are you doing here? Are you trying to piss me off?"
"......"
....
After confirming all the procedures for tomorrow's court session with Wang Zhenzhen, her serious expression finally relaxed a little. She patted the man opposite her on the shoulder and comforted him, "Don't be afraid. I will be by your side tomorrow and will not let you face him alone."
The person opposite raised her face. Her face was about 70% similar to Wang Feng's, especially her eyes, which were obviously copied from Wang Feng. If her eyes were not so gentle, He Chuyue would have mistakenly thought that it was her mentor Wang Feng who was in front of her.
Her phoenix eyes curved up and she smiled at He Chuyue: "Sister Chuyue, thank you. You have worked so hard during this period."
His eyes fell on He Chuyue's bulging belly: "How many months old is the baby?"
"Almost six months."
"Does it look a lot bigger to me?"
"Yeah." He Chuyue covered her hand there, "Twins."
Surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she smiled: "Congratulations."
"Don't be so formal."
Having already stood up, Wang Zhenzhen checked the time and asked, "Why are you going back so late?"
Taking her eyes off the phone, He Chuyue curled her lips and said, "My husband is here to pick me up."
Wang Zhenzhen nodded: "I was very surprised when I knew your husband was Professor Xiao. I didn't expect that he was so cold and would like the type that everyone likes."
He Chuyue seemed to realize that her words were ambiguous, and hurriedly explained: "Sister Chuyue, don't misunderstand me, I don't mean anything else, I'm just surprised that someone like him would like someone, it's just a little unbelievable, I sincerely wish you all the best!"
The girl's eyes were sincere, and her words, which she was eager to explain, were very pertinent. After their recent interactions, He Chuyue also confirmed that she and Xiao Zhiyan really had no friendship, so naturally she would not care about this.
"Do I know that I am such a petty person in your heart?"
"No, no, Sister Chu Yue, you are so nice. I liked you when we were in school."
She curled her lips, and the charm of her eyebrows and eyes was like a dazzling and beautiful painting. Her smile was obviously very casual, but it made Wang Zhenzhen stunned for a moment.
"Let's go."
He Chuyue rubbed her head.
After closing the office door, they walked towards the elevator. Suddenly there was a noise behind the dark office. They both stopped and looked back, their hands subconsciously clasped together already sweating.
Wang Yuanyuan asked quietly: "Is there anyone else who left later than us?"
He Chuyue stared at somewhere in the darkness without saying a word, and subconsciously looked for the fire extinguisher in her memory...
"You haven't left yet."
This sound...
He Chuyue, who had touched the fire extinguisher, withdrew her hand when she heard the sound and looked at Xiao Wei who was walking over.
The latter saw what she had in her hand and a look of disbelief flashed across his smiling face: "You're not going to hit me with this, are you?"
He Chuyue put her hands behind her back and pretended not to hear: "Brother, why haven't you left yet?"
He sighed and showed her the documents in his hand: "Come back to find the information, Lawyer Mei is still in the hospital, and we still have to discuss the case of Mingchan Pharmaceutical."
The elevator just arrived, and he raised his hand: "Let's go downstairs together."
"good."
As we walked out of the gate, the domineering off-road vehicle was extremely conspicuous. He Chuyue had already noticed the people beside the car and quickened her pace. Xiao Wei behind her suddenly called her.
"The first month."
She paused and saw Xiao Zhiyan walking towards her from the corner of her eye. His expression tensed, "Huh?"
Xiao Wei looked at Xiao Zhiyan behind her and said to her: "Nothing, I just called you to make your Professor Xiao feel a little bit of crisis."
Wang Zhenzhen, who was standing aside and didn't understand what was going on, looked between the three people.
He Chuyue had a speechless expression: "Don't be childish, Senior Brother. I'm leaving first."
"Um."
She said goodbye to Wang Zhenzhen again and then walked towards Xiao Zhiyan. After getting in the car, she smiled and stared at the man who walked around to the driver's seat until he got in.
After fastening the seat belt, Xiao Zhiyan looked at her and raised his hand to pinch her cheek: "Why are you looking at me?"
"I want to see you."
He curled his lips, reached out and gently lifted her chin, and kissed her.
"Then you can watch it."
He Chuyue didn't notice who walked past the window and continued to tease him: "When Lawyer Xiao called me just now, did someone get nervous?"
"Is there?" Someone looked forward.
"No?"
Xiao Zhiyan looked at her meaningfully, "Okay, yes."
"So what do you want to say?"
"You should ask him what he wants to say."
He Chuyue was confused.
Before starting, the man's smile deepened, "He just passed by our car, he should have seen what we did."
What did you just do?
Buzz!
He Chuyue covered her lips, her face was very hot.
"Xiao Zhiyan! If anyone says you're cold and honest again, I'll fight him to the death!"
The man just smiled without saying anything, stepped on the accelerator, and let the engine cover the car.
...
That night.
After checking the speech for tomorrow's case, He Chuyue closed her computer and called Dai Wenchun as usual.
The busy tone lasted as long as usual. I thought she wouldn't answer, but it disappeared at the last second.
He Chuyue, who was supporting herself on the table with her arms, looked at the seconds that had already started counting down and suddenly sat up straight, a look of joy on her brows.
"Aunt, you finally answered my call!"
"snort."
Although it was only one word, He Chuyue knew that Dai Wenchun had calmed down. He was busy telling her about his recent situation, and she responded without saying much. Finally, she carefully confessed the fact that she had concealed Xiao Zhiyan's occupation and admitted her mistake, and the other party remained silent.
"Aunt, are you still angry with me?"
"I would be so angry at you that I die. You girl, other people forget their mothers after getting married, but look at you, sigh."
At this time, He Chuyue stopped being stubborn and just went along with him obediently. Dai Wenchun knew what she meant and pointed it out: "Don't think I've compromised. I'm still in the probation period. If he dares to treat you badly, hmph!"
"Okay, auntie, I'll listen to you."
"All my own? Then when are you going to tell me the measurements of the coffee?"
"coffee......"
"You didn't tell me even after your cat hair allergy was cured. You didn't tell me even after you went to the psychiatrist. He Chuyue, what do you think of your aunt? Your aunt doesn't want to be kept in the dark by you!"
"Auntie..."
Dai Wenchun's long sigh aroused tears in He Chuyue's eyes. She sniffed and listened to the familiar voice passing through the electricity and falling into her ears.
"Niuniu, you've grown up. I only report good news and not bad news. I'm afraid you'll have to bear it all by yourself. Fortunately, you have someone by your side now, so I can rest assured." She paused and said softly, "Good luck in the court tomorrow, and come to my house for dinner tonight. Bring coffee and latte. The Lantern Festival is coming soon, so I can make some clothes for Coffee."
She murmured: "You will also give it this name..."
A snot bubble came out of the tip of her nose, and He Chuyue nodded: "Okay."
The aunt and nephew talked for a long time before hanging up the phone. The study became quiet and she leaned back in her chair, not knowing what she was thinking. At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Xiao Zhiyan brought over the midnight snack she had ordered.
"Why is it so little?" He Chuyue was dissatisfied.
He rubbed her head and said, "You'll feel uncomfortable if you eat too much last night. Eat half as much as yesterday today. Try it."
"All right......"
"Then you eat, I'm going to take a shower."
He Chuyue hesitated to speak, "You go."
Xiao Zhiyan noticed that something was wrong with her, rubbed her face, and turned away.
He Chuyue sat there for a while, without even looking at the midnight snack at hand, and left the study, with Latte following her. In the bedroom, there was the sound of water coming from the bathroom.
She tried pressing the door handle, and with a click, the door was pushed open a crack.
He slipped in and before the person behind him had a chance to come in, the door was closed and Latte was blocked outside.
It heard the sound of water stop, followed by the master's voice, and then... the sound of water started again...
Latte raised his claws and scratched the door resentfully, but the sound from inside did not stop. It turned its head to look at Coffee who was licking his paw, and chased after it with a howl.
A cat and a dog were running around the house, but this time there were no cups on the table for them to break...
