Chapter 42 She's Leaving
His throat bobbed violently a few times, and his burning kisses landed on her lips and face repeatedly.
Shen Zhixia went to undress him.
At the critical moment, Huo Chenzhou suddenly grasped her hand and said in a low, hoarse voice, "No, child."
Shen Zhixia said unhappily, "The baby is fine. It's been almost four months, so it's safe."
However, Huo Chenzhou suddenly let go of her and ran out. After a while, Shen Zhixia heard him taking a cold shower.
Shen Zhixia: "..."
She looks at it every day, but she still can't eat it!
I got very angry.
It was a long time before Huo Chenzhou returned. He wasn't cold; on the contrary, he was very hot.
Shen Zhixia opened her eyes and angrily threw the pillow at him.
Huo Chenzhou didn't say a word, but gently patted her back.
So annoying!
The next day, Huo Chenzhou carefully explained to her that they couldn't hurt the baby, and that the doctor had advised against having sex during this period.
Shen Zhixia understood all of this, but she felt it wasn't that serious; Huo Chenzhou was simply too petty.
She deliberately said, "You just like children, you don't like me at all."
Huo Chenzhou was unaware of her thoughts and clumsily explained that it wasn't true. He then agreed to many of Shen Zhixia's requests, which finally satisfied Shen Zhixia.
Life went on peacefully until one day, Shen Zhixia suddenly received a letter.
It was a letter from her stepmother and stepsister.
The letters were full of words of concern for her. If the original owner had seen them before, she would have been very touched, but Shen Zhixia found them disgusting.
In the end, it was all just pretense.
The original owner's mother married down, and her father was a poor but handsome man who won her over. Her mother fell seriously ill and died young, so her father seized all of her property.
Later, the father remarried and had a stepmother, who gave birth to a stepsister. The stepmother and stepsister were both clever. They were nice to the original owner on the surface, but in reality, they were just trying to kill her with their flattery. Every time they did something, it was detrimental to the original owner. However, the original owner was not clever to begin with, which is why she was always being used by them.
This time, the original owner's marriage to Huo Chenzhou was originally an impulsive decision. So her stepmother and stepsister persuaded her to have an abortion and divorce so that she could pursue her own happiness. But in reality, they were just trying to harm her.
When Shen Zhixia read the back of the letter, her stepmother and stepsister said how much Wang Qiming missed her and loved her, and hoped that she could come back.
She almost threw up when she saw this.
Wang Qiming was Shen Zhixia's first love. The two met at a textile factory. Wang Qiming was only after Shen Zhixia's money. Later, he found out that although the Shen family seemed to dote on Shen Zhixia, they wouldn't give her a penny. So he quickly broke up with Shen Zhixia and started an affair with Shen Zhixia's stepsister.
However, Shen Zhixia was unaware of these things.
Now her stepmother and stepsister want to take all her assets, so they conspired with Wang Qiming to exploit her.
That's how the original owner was killed.
After reading the letter, Shen Zhixia replied with a cold smile, saying that she would be back soon.
The movement is about to begin, and the Shen family is already transferring assets. She has to go there and resolve the asset issue.
She wants to go back in person.
Shen Zhixia pondered what to do. When it was almost noon, she cooked for herself. She now knew how to use this kind of stove and successfully cooked a pot of congee with preserved egg and lean pork, and also stir-fried some bok choy with pork lard.
Actually, she rarely cooks. After she became pregnant, Huo Chenzhou always cooked. If Huo Chenzhou was late, they would go to the cafeteria together. However, Shen Zhixia doesn't like the cafeteria very much now.
The food in the cafeteria is very limited; it's not bad, but it's not particularly delicious either.
The congee with preserved egg and lean pork she made this time tasted pretty good. Actually, she didn't like preserved eggs very much before, but lately, for some reason, she just really likes the taste of preserved eggs.
After the porridge cooled down a bit, Huo Chenzhou returned.
"Why are you cooking yourself?" Huo Chenzhou asked in surprise.
Shen Zhixia gave him a coquettish glance: "Can't I cook?"
She served Huo Chenzhou a large bowl of rice and said, "Eat up."
Huo Chenzhou seemed very happy. He ate quickly, taking a large bite at a time.
After he finished his bowl, Shen Zhixia had only taken a few bites.
"Is it delicious?" Shen Zhixia asked.
Huo Chenzhou nodded: "Delicious."
He was very kind and served me another large bowl.
Shen Zhixia looked at him and carefully expressed her thoughts: "I plan to go back for a visit."
Upon hearing this, Huo Chenzhou's smile froze. He looked at Shen Zhixia without saying a word.
Shen Zhixia felt a little guilty.
After all, the original owner of this body had once insisted on aborting the child and getting a divorce, and her stepmother and stepsister had encouraged her to do so. If she were to go back now, Huo Chenzhou would definitely think that she still wanted to leave him.
She went back this time to reclaim her rightful property, but the original owner had a very good relationship with her stepmother and stepsister, so it was hard to explain in a short time.
She could only bite the bullet and explain, "They sent me a letter saying they missed me, and I thought I'd like to go back and see them too."
This excuse was too far-fetched, but Shen Zhixia really couldn't think of a good one for the time being.
Huo Chenzhou said, "Wait until you give birth to the child before you go back. I'll go back with you."
"no."
Shen Zhixia frowned and said, "I want to go back now."
By the time the child is born, the movement will have already begun, and the Shen family will have long since fled. Where will she find them then?
Huo Chenzhou pursed his lips and remained silent.
Shen Zhixia softened her voice and said, "Honey, please let me go back. I'll only be back for ten days, I promise."
After a long silence, Huo Chenzhou said, "I'll take leave and go back with you."
Huo Chenzhou cannot leave at will. He only has annual leave during the Chinese New Year. Now, he may be sent on various missions at any time, so it is not so easy to ask for leave.
Moreover, Shen Zhixia didn't actually want Huo Chenzhou to be involved when she went back this time.
She then said, "No need, I can go back by myself."
Huo Chenzhou lowered his eyes, his face seemingly somewhat gloomy.
He remained completely silent this time.
Shen Zhixia: "..."
She could sense that Huo Chenzhou seemed a little down, but there was nothing she could do about it.
She's definitely going to leave.
When Huo Chenzhou went to bed that night, he seemed even more gloomy.
Shen Zhixia hugged him and breathed into his ear: "Are you unhappy?"
Huo Chenzhou's face was hidden in shadow, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.
"Don't worry, I'm just going to take care of some things, I'll be back soon."
