Chapter 89 Cry Louder
"Tangtang, when I was studying at your house, I noticed that you looked best when you smiled. But you always smile, softly, lightly, to everyone. Sometimes, after watching for a long time, I always want you to...
Chen Tang suppressed the trembling all over his body, "...smile more happily?"
He held her lower back, staring into the void before his eyes, thinking seriously, but with his fingertips applying more force.
"...I want to make you cry. For some unknown reason, I always want to bite you and hurt you, crush you, hide you, hide you in my sleeves, hide you in my heart... Let me be the only one in this world who can see your tears."
He tilted his head slightly and nibbled the sensitive side of her ear, concentrating on feeling her flinch.
"When I was young, I often lived in this yard, sat on this couch, and slept on this bed... Really, I can't help thinking about this all the time."
"Especially in the first two or three years, every time I came back from Guangling City, I couldn't sleep all night. I tossed and turned in bed, my heart was beating fast, and my mind was full of thoughts..."
"…make you cry."
"Don't be afraid. There are only two of us in the courtyard. No one can hear us... Ah Zhu, cry louder this time, okay?"
…
The next day, the couple got up very late.
As soon as Qi Huaijing walked out of the hospital, he met Zhao Wenzheng.
"What a coincidence?"
Zhao Wenzheng glared at him, "What a coincidence! I've been waiting for you here for a long time. Why are you leaving so late? You're so lazy!"
"…What's up?"
This guy got married and had two children within three years. He is really hardworking.
"Don't go out today. My wife is coming back. She got the news and knows you are at home. If you don't go to pick her up, you will be beaten... I am so anxious waiting. If your wife wasn't here, she would have come into the room and lifted your quilt."
"Oh, you want me to hold you in my arms while you sleep?"
"You're such a bastard... Hey, Huai Jing's wife, you're here too?"
Chen Tang walked over with a smile, took two steps forward, and bowed gently.
"Uncle-in-law."
"Oh, I don't dare. Uh... well, your aunt is back and will be home soon. Have you eaten yet? Do you want to..."
Qi Huaijing turned his back to Chen Tang and rolled his eyes at him. Zhao Wenzheng immediately understood what he meant.
"...Do you want to eat something more? It's getting late. You guys eat first. I'm going to go pick someone up."
Chen Tang understood. Yue Lingshu and Aunt Cheng came back together, so if he went, he would definitely run into them.
"It just so happens that we have already had dinner. Huaijing, let's go together."
Qi Huaijing was a little unhappy in his heart, but he couldn't resist Chen Tang's shining eyes, so he went reluctantly.
She really wanted to see what the cousin of the Yue family, whose name she had heard of for so long, looked like.
At the ceremonial gate, the wet nurse and Xixi had been waiting there long ago. When Zhao Wenzheng and the other two arrived, two silk carriages, one green and one blue, had just come over and stopped in the open space.
Xixi broke away from the nurse's hand and ran towards the blue silk carriage behind.
"Mother! Mother!"
Chen Tang retracted his gaze and turned to the green silk carriage in front, eager to see his cousin's true face. He saw the door curtain flash, revealing a very vivid face of a beautiful woman.
She had an ivory-white face, long eyebrows, a delicate nose and red lips. She was extremely beautiful, but her expression was cold and she didn't even smile.
Chen Tang's heart skipped a beat, and he gently touched Qi Huaijing and sighed quietly.
"It turns out that my cousin is a great beauty."
Qi Huaijing frowned and looked at her with an incredulous tone.
"What are you looking at?"
The beautiful lady in the carriage was frowning, and had not spoken yet, when suddenly her clothes moved, and a small round head squeezed out from behind.
"Sister! We are here!"
Zhao Wenzhen hurriedly grabbed Xixi, who was about to climb onto the carriage at the back, and carried her to the front.
"My dear, mother is here~"
The little maid went up and lifted the carriage curtain, and Chen Tang saw the beautiful lady with her hair in a bun, wearing gold and silver jewelry, and her beautiful face against a silk skirt, as beautiful as a peach and plum, yet as cold as ice.
It turned out to be Cheng’s aunt.
Cheng Xinyu got out of the car expressionlessly, waved for his son to come over, grabbed the back of his clothes, and threw him into Zhao Wenzheng's arms.
"Change."
The little girl Xixi pulled herself into her mother's arms. The two-year-old Dongdong reached out to pull her hair as soon as he was in his father's arms.
"Sister~sister~sister~"
Xixi was about to scratch him, but Cheng Xinyu was quicker and opened his son's hand with a snap, and spoke sternly.
"Behave yourself!"
She took her daughter in her arms, her frown still furrowed, when she turned around and saw Qi Huaijing. She couldn't help but snorted coldly, her tone rising, and she walked towards him slowly.
"Ahri, what a rare visitor!"
Obviously, Qi Huaijing's explicit prohibition on this nickname was of no use to the couple.
When Cheng Xinyu saw Chen Tang beside him, he stopped, held his waist and paced back and forth, concentrating on looking at him carefully, his eyes full of criticism.
Shen Tang saluted obediently.
"Aunt."
There was a hint of sneer on Cheng Xinyu's lips.
"Tsk, is that the vision?"
Chen Tang's heart skipped a beat, and before anyone could react, Cheng Xinyu suddenly raised his hand and pulled out the red gold hairpin in Chen Tang's hair, and smashed it on Qi Huaijing's chest.
"I can tell you picked it out. It's a style from two years ago that's no longer popular in Beijing. Why didn't you buy her a new one? You're such a stingy person!
After saying that, she pulled out a large and shiny eight-treasure gold hairpin from her hair, and pinned it in Shen Tang's black hair, nodding with satisfaction.
"Gemstones go with beauties, that's the way it should be."
Qi Huaijing crossed his arms and frowned.
"I think you are quite outrageous!"
Cheng Xinyu rolled her eyes at him, then smiled brightly and pinched Chen Tang's cheek.
"Be good, auntie will give you a nice headpiece tomorrow. Don't wear the hairpins and rings chosen by men. What do they know?"
Chen Tang was used to seeing Qi Huaijing look down on others, but this was the first time she saw him being looked down upon like this. She couldn't help but bite her lips and thank him with a smile.
"Okay, thank you for your love~"
Zhao Wenzheng came over holding Dongdong and held his hands tightly to prevent the siblings from taking advantage of the situation.
"My family owns a jewelry store. My wife likes to look at other people's jewelry wherever she goes. This is the first time we meet my nephew's wife..."
As everyone was talking, a voice as gentle as water suddenly sounded from behind.
"Dongdong, wait for Sister Shu~"
