From the chess and card room on the third floor of the Lin family villa, the crackling sound of mahjong tiles colliding and the intermittent shouting of cards could be heard...
Lin Xuqiu, his father, mother and brother were playing mahjong at the table.
At this time, Lin Xuqiu was only wearing long-sleeved pajamas and cotton slippers. She had no makeup on. Her face was delicate and fair. Her chestnut curly hair was casually pinned up with a large hairpin, and a few strands of hair hung on her forehead. She was completely different from her usual elegance.
After all, her husband is not at home now, so it doesn't matter if she is casual and lazy.
She had remained refined at home in the past because of Wen Yanci.
Wen Yanci always maintained his elegance, and his noble temperament seemed to be engraved in his bones. She had never seen the man do anything vulgar. Because of this, she did not dare to slack off even at home, for fear of forming a sharp contrast.
Although she has always been very arrogant in front of Wen Yanci, she actually has a little inferiority complex deep down in her heart. After all, there is a huge gap between their family backgrounds and their education. Logically speaking, they are indeed not a match.
So she pays great attention to her face and figure, at least in terms of appearance, she matches Wen Yanci. However, after being exquisite for a long time, she still feels a little tired, especially now that she is pregnant, she has no intention of dressing up at all.
At first, she was worried that her appearance might decline in the late stages of pregnancy, and that her beautiful image would be greatly reduced in Wen Yanci's heart.
But then she thought again, she was pregnant with Wen Yanci's baby. If she became fat or ugly in the late pregnancy, and the man dared to show any disgust, she would definitely beat him up.
Therefore, Lin Xuqiu was playing mahjong here with her face bare and a leisurely posture.
Wen Yanci, who was supposed to come back today, called Lin Xuqiu in the morning and said that he had not finished his work there and might not be able to come back to accompany her until tomorrow. He kept comforting her and apologizing to her on the phone.
When she first heard the news, Lin Xuqiu was indeed a little disappointed, but now that she was playing mahjong, she no longer felt the disappointment she had in the morning, and she even felt a little secretly happy.
However, before she could feel secretly happy for long, she was dealt a bad hand. Her face darkened, her brows furrowed slightly, and she hesitated which one to play first.
After hesitating for a moment, she played a "red center", and Zhou Cheng directly shouted "bang".
Next, every time Lin Xuqiu played a card, Zhou Cheng could "touch" it.
After being "touched" twice, Lin Xuqiu felt a little annoyed, thinking that Zhou Cheng must have done it on purpose. He glanced at the man, made a "Xi" sound, and said unconvincedly.
"I don't believe you can still 'touch'."
Zhou Cheng calmly pushed the cards down and said "Hu" proudly.
Lin Xuqiu stamped his feet in anger, but said nothing more. He waited quietly for the mahjong machine to reshuffle the cards, his eyes filled with aroused fighting spirit.
Zhou Cheng looked up at the angry woman opposite him and thought she was so cute, with a smile in his eyes.
However, Lin Xuqiu saw the man's look as naked provocation and ridicule, so she secretly vowed to win the next game and save her face.
Of course, such a secret oath did not have any additional effect. She would lose anyway. Looking at the man who was now smug and had already won several games, Lin Xuqiu looked discouraged.
Zhou Cheng thought Lin Xuqiu's little expression was very lively and cute. He didn't give in to her at first just because he wanted to tease her. Now that he saw that she was a little angry, he decided to give in to her.
Then everyone started a new round of cards.
However, Lin Xuqiu only had half-baked skills. As she was playing, the card on the table unexpectedly turned into "Little Husband". She scratched her hair speechlessly, with a "chicken coop" hairstyle and a slightly gloomy face.
Chen Zhizhi comforted.
"Xuqiu, it's impressive that you figured out how to play mahjong the first time you played it."
Lin Zhidong echoed.
"Yeah, when I first started learning, I lost for several days before I finally won once. Xu Qiu is really much better than me."
How could Lin Xuqiu not know that her parents were comforting her? She relaxed her expression, put on a faint smile, and spoke in a relaxed tone.
"I'm fine. Failure is common in the military. Let's move on to the next one."
With his parents and brother all helping him, Lin Xuqiu finally won.
She regained her genuine smile, sat up excitedly, stamped her feet, and urged.
"Let's start the next round."
*
While Lin Xuqiu was having a great time playing mahjong, Wen Yanci had already rushed back to the Lin family.
When Wen Yanci thought of Lin Xuqiu's reluctant tone on the phone in the morning, he sped up the progress of things, handed over all the things that could be handed over to others, and then rushed back before dark.
The first thing he did when he stepped into the Lin family villa was to go upstairs to look for Lin Xuqiu, but he came up empty-handed. There was no one in the room.
Aunt Chen just came in to clean the room, and Wen Yanci asked.
"Aunt Chen, where is Xuqiu?"
"Miss Xuqiu is in the chess and card room on the third floor, playing mahjong with the gentleman, his wife, and the young master."
"OK, thanks."
Wen Yanci looked confused. He didn't remember Lin Xuqiu knowing how to play mahjong, so he turned and went to the chess and card room on the third floor.
When he stepped into the chess and card room, he saw a scene that made him slightly stunned.
Lin Xuqiu had messy hair and no makeup on. Her sleeves were rolled up on both sides, one high and one low, revealing her slender white arms. She played the mahjong in her hand skillfully and shouted "blank" in a crisp voice.
Because Lin Xuqiu was too focused on the mahjong in front of him, thinking about how to play the cards, she didn't notice the man approaching. Instead, it was Lin Zhidong who noticed his son-in-law first and shouted.
"Yan Ci, are you done with your work over there?"
"Well, I'm done."
When Lin Xuqiu heard Wen Yanci's clear voice, her hand that was picking up the cards tightened. Thinking of her "sloppy" image at the moment, she was in a dilemma for a moment. She bit her lip lightly and didn't want to turn around at all.
