Chapter 20: Kissing Sequelae
Since Cen Xihuai was not at home, the ownership of the big house belonged to Xu Qingwu. After taking a shower, she curled up on the sofa to watch a movie and eat snacks. She had not eaten for several days because she had been silently despised by Cen Xihuai before.
After catching up on the dramas and variety shows she had missed recently, it was already half past eleven. She didn't feel sleepy at all and even felt like watching another movie.
Anyway, there is no one to control me, so I can do whatever I want. Xu Qingwu clicked on a foreign movie with a good rating. The foreign language is more hypnotic than the Chinese.
The phone on the coffee table vibrated.
CXH: “I’m here.”
Xu Qingwu almost choked on the Coke. Why did Cen Xihuai suddenly inform her of his itinerary?
She clicked on it and replied with a "good" as before.
Cen Xihuai sent another message: "It's already half past eleven and you're still awake?"
The case was solved. It turned out that he was checking whether she was asleep or not.
Anyway, he had already been exposed. If he pretended not to see it, it would be more obvious. Xu Qingwu replied to him: "Aren't you asleep too?"
CXH: “Just got off the plane.”
After getting off the plane, Ding Cheng drove to the hotel. Yao Wei sat next to Cen Xihuai. Then Cen Xihuai saw Yao Wei fiddling with his mobile phone. After asking, he found out that Yao Wei was sending a message to his newlywed wife.
While chatting with his wife, Yao Wei frantically hinted to his boss: "My wife is waiting for my news. I will inform her of my itinerary so that she can rest assured. You can also try sending a message to my wife."
Ding Cheng listened to the conversation between two married men in the back seat, which made the single men shed tears of envy. He had no one to report to.
Xu Qingwu replied to the message a while later, with a good night emoticon.
End the topic.
After closing the chat interface, Xu Qingwu watched the entire movie in revenge before going upstairs to sleep.
Without Cen Xihuai beside her, she had the 3X3 bed all to herself. It felt so good to be free and unrestrained!
Fall asleep quickly.
Xu Qingwu quickly fell into a dream, in which she was kissing Cen Xihuai.
Continuing the strawberry-flavored kiss they had before.
Because of the aftereffects of kissing, when Xu Qingwu was woken up by the alarm clock, she felt wet all over, as if she had been pulled out of the water and was covered in sweat.
Feeling sticky and uncomfortable, she went to the bathroom. When she took off her pants, she found a small wet spot on the thick cotton fabric in the middle.
Thinking of the indescribable dreams last night, Xu Qingwu felt like her cheeks were burning. After taking a quick shower to calm down, she thought it might be because of the hormonal imbalance and stronger demand before and after her menstrual period.
It was clearly just a dream, but the body was still extremely tired. If it wasn't Friday today, Xu Qingwu really wouldn't have the energy to go to work.
The shower took her a while, so she didn't have time to slowly eat breakfast, so she just grabbed a few slices of toast and went out.
The person who picked her up turned out to be a man in his forties, who should be the driver Cen Xihuai mentioned yesterday.
Time seems to go by much faster on Friday than on weekdays. I get off work smoothly and welcome the weekend without any problems.
Tonight Xu Qingwu did not choose to sleep in the master bedroom, but slept in the children's room.
The sheets and quilt covers in the master bedroom had a faint scent of Cen Xihuai, and she didn't want to have that strange dream again.
Without the disturbance of the alarm clock, Xu Qingwu slept until ten o'clock.
After breakfast, she was learning book pressing according to the online tutorial. She wanted to make dried flowers from the flowers she received for the first time.
It was only after it was over that she saw the message that Shen's mother had sent her in the morning, asking her to go to Cen's house for lunch at noon to discuss wedding matters.
Even though I really don't want my weekend to be taken up by others, it's her wedding after all, and I can't avoid it.
Xu Qingwu and Cen Yue met at the door of Cen's house. Cen Yue took her hand affectionately and they walked in together.
"Why are you back?"
"Mom said she wants you to decide the wedding theme. Can someone as indecisive as you do it without me?"
"Xiaoyue, you are so nice!"
"You knew it on the first day?"
"I haven't seen you talking in the group chat much these past two days. Are you and Qi Yan okay?"
"fine--"
Xu Qingwu felt relieved when she heard her say that, but she was still halfway through when she heard her finish her unfinished words: "I'm planning on getting a divorce."
"ah?"
Xu Qingwu was confused and wondered if he was hallucinating.
Cen Yue's MBTI attribute is ENFP, a happy puppy. No matter how big the problem is, she can digest it quickly. She is always heartless and rarely has worries. She and Qi Yan grew up together with a lot of quarrels until they got married. Because Wen Jiajia got angry many times, Qi Yan would always coax her with a gentle tone and they would reconcile. But this time it was obviously different.
Xu Qingwu knew she wasn't joking and asked, "Is it because of what happened with Wen Jiajia at the auction?"
"It was never because of Wen Jiajia," Cen Yue said seriously. "It was Qi Yan. We grew up together, and he doesn't even know me. He just thinks I'm always targeting Wen Jiajia. But isn't it because of his indulgence or indifference that Wen Jiajia can act like a troublemaker again and again? This kind of marriage is boring, and it's also boring for me to become like this."
"Xiao Yue..."
Xu Qingwu didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only hold her hand tightly.
Cen Yue laughed: "Oh, it's a bit unlucky for me to mention divorce in front of you, my new bride. Bah, bah, bah, just childish talk!"
"Think it over carefully. If you need me, please let me know."
“It really exists!”
Cen Yue mentioned the ragdoll cat she and Qi Yan raised together after they got married, a cat named Puppy.
"After we divorce, I'll give my puppy to you. She only likes you, and giving her to you allows me to see her from time to time."
Xu Qingwu's first reaction was to ask Cen Xihuai for his opinion, but now that Cen Yue was looking at her so pleadingly, she could only nod.
They had already reached the gate. Cen Yue asked her to keep it a secret for the time being, and the two of them went in.
Mother Shen, Old Madam Cen, and Cen Yue's mother were looking at the wedding plan. Mother Shen called her over: "Church weddings, lawn weddings, and seaside weddings are all very popular. Qingwu, do you like any of them?"
It was just a marriage of arrangement, Xu Qingwu had no expectations and naturally had no illusions about the wedding.
Xu Qingwu subconsciously said, "I'm fine with either. Which one do you like, Mom?"
Mother Shen gave her a glare: "The bride is you, choose it yourself."
Xu Qingwu casually flipped through the cases and found the process too cumbersome. Cen Yue suggested, "Why not go to the beach? My uncle seems to have bought an island a few years ago. We can still have some fun after the wedding."
Xu Qingwu: "Okay."
Seeing that she didn't care, Shen's mother wanted to say something to her, but because she was at the Cen family, she had to give up.
Madam Cen handed over the other two booklets and said, "Qingwu, take a look at the wedding gowns and bridesmaid dresses to see if there are any you like. If not, there's still time to order them now."
Cen Yue sighed and asked her mother: "Mom, is it too late for me to get a divorce and become a bridesmaid now?"
Cen Yue's mother scoffed at her: "Don't say such nonsense, or I'll beat you up!"
Cen Yue stuck out her tongue and lowered her head to help Xu Qingwu pick out the main wedding dress and toast dresses. After they were done, someone came over to measure Xu Qingwu's body. After the clothes were altered to her size, she went to try them on site.
Xu Qingwu thought it was over and time to eat, but Mother Shen said, "We still need to take wedding photos, come and choose."
Xu Qingwu: "..."
After finishing the difficult multiple-choice questions, I finally had my meal.
Cen Yue warmly invited her: "Qingwu, accompany Xiaoxiao and me to the concert at Xiangshan'ao. We'll fly tonight and take half a day off on Monday and return in the morning."
Xu Qingwu inevitably thought of the agreement between her and Cen Xihuai. She didn't know when Cen Xihuai would end his business trip.
"Shall I call your uncle?"
"You have to take the initiative in your marriage!" Cen Yue looked disappointed. Thinking about her own failed marriage, she felt that what she said was useless. "Go ahead and fight."
Xu Qingwu called Cen Xihuai.
It was Yao Wei who answered the phone: "Madam, Mr. Cen is in a meeting. I have the phone. Do you want me to transfer it to Mr. Cen?"
Xu Qingwu quickly said no and asked him directly, "Assistant Yao, how long will you be away for?"
"The cooperation hasn't been finalized yet. If nothing unexpected happens, it will take another two days."
Two days means that Cen Xihuai will not be able to come back on Sunday. After hanging up the phone, Xu Qingwu told Cen Yue the good news. The two went upstairs to pack their things and prepare to go to the airport later.
After the meeting, Yao Wei reported to Cen Xihuai: "My wife called you an hour ago."
This was the first time Xu Qingwu took the initiative to look for him after their marriage.
Cen Xihuai was a little surprised: "What's the matter?"
