After finishing his business with Sister Hong, He Muchen went to find his wife to go home together, only to find Bai Xinze, that pretty boy, grinning at his wife.
With a dark expression, he walked up to Zhou Rui, took Zhou Rui's hand, and said, "Let's go home."
Before Zhou Rui could react, Bai Xinze grabbed his other hand and said gently, "Rui Rui, he has to help me tonight, so he can't go home with you now."
When He Muchen heard Bai Xinze say this, his dark face became even more unpleasant. He looked at Zhou Rui with his deep eyes, but there was not a trace of anger in them. He just wanted to know what was going on with Zhou Rui.
Zhou Rui felt incredibly nervous under his gaze and stammered as he explained, "He asked... us... to help him... move."
"Nothing else? You can ask Li Tiantian. Li Tiantian and I agreed to help him move."
Zhou Rui looked at Li Tiantian, who was staring at him with a crush. Li Tiantian didn't hear what Zhou Rui had just said, nor did she respond. She just stared at Bai Xinze blankly.
Zhou Rui called out anxiously, "Li Tiantian."
The three words "Li Tiantian" echoed throughout the quiet office. Only then did Li Tiantian come to her senses, wipe the corner of her mouth, and say with a smile, "Little Rui Rui, why did you call me?"
Zhou Rui closed his eyes speechlessly, took a deep breath, and exhaled. That's enough, Miss Li, even if you're a fangirl, you should know when to stop! Sister, I was so anxious I was about to call you sister.
Do I need you to explain this to me? I should have known better than to give her Bai Xinze's contact information; she was completely useless when I needed her help.
"It's nothing. Didn't you want to help Bai Xinze move?"
"Well, you're moving, but you're not leaving, and I don't know where he lives, so how am I supposed to help him move?" Li Tiantian replied to Zhou Rui with a helpless expression.
Zhou Rui looked at Li Tiantian, blinked, and then looked at the hands of the two people holding his, indicating to Li Tiantian if she could help him with something.
Only then did Li Tiantian notice Zhou Rui's gaze. After glancing at the three people who were locked in a stalemate, she realized that she had been so focused on Bai Xinze's face that she had automatically avoided looking at Bai Xinze while he was holding Zhou Rui's hand.
"It must be difficult for you to walk like that."
Li Tiantian smiled and pulled Zhou Rui, who was sandwiched in the middle, to her side, taking his arm.
"We'll walk faster this way. Or should we go get some dinner first?"
"RuiRui, didn't you just tell me you were hungry?"
"Let's go, Sister Sweetie will take you to eat something delicious."
Zhou Rui smiled and retracted the misunderstanding he had just had about Li Tiantian. She was still reliable, and Bai Xinze's contact information was correct.
Li Tiantian walked ahead with Zhou Rui on her arm, then turned around and walked over to the two who were stuck there, saying to them, "Aren't you hungry?"
Then, looking at Bai Xinze shyly, she said, "Xinze, let's go have dinner first. After dinner, I'll help you move."
Bai Xinze smiled gently and replied to Li Tiantian, "Okay, I'm a little hungry too."
Bai Xinze walked straight up to Zhou Rui and explained, "Rui Rui, I'm sorry. I didn't think things through and didn't consider whether you were hungry."
“Rui Rui, I remember you used to like sweet food. I know a shop where you’ll probably like their food.”
Zhou Rui wanted to curse inwardly. "Hey bro, we're not even acquainted! Can you please stop talking? You're going to get me in trouble. My husband's still here!"
Zhou Rui could only smile awkwardly, looking at He Muchen's dark face behind him, he quickly went to He Muchen's side and explained:
"I don't like sweet food. No, I mean I don't remember Bai Xinze being my high school classmate."
“I didn’t lie to you before, I really don’t remember him being my classmate.”
He Muchen was stunned for a moment. He was very angry at first, but when he saw Zhou Rui anxiously explaining his relationship with Bai Xinze, and even in front of Bai Xinze, he clarified that he had no relationship with him.
He Muchen seemed to be under a spell; he unconditionally believed everything Zhou Rui said was true.
He Muchen smiled and patted Zhou Rui's head: "I know, I know you two are just classmates. You should have told me sooner, then I would have looked after him more."
He emphasized the word "take care" very much.
"After dinner, I'll help you all move his place."
Zhou Rui looked at He Muchen, who was acting very gently, with great confusion. He had just had a sour expression, but after Zhou Rui explained, he thought He had been appeased?
Standing to the side, Li Tiantian was still a little unaccustomed to He Muchen's gentleness. So He Muchen could be gentle?
Li Tiantian stood beside Bai Xinze, looking out the window at the sky, and muttered softly, "Is it raining outside?"
Bai Xinze smiled awkwardly: "Miss Tiantian, it shouldn't be raining outside. I checked the weather forecast this morning and it said there would be no rain today."
When Li Tiantian heard Bai Xinze's response, she blushed with embarrassment and said, "Could you please not call me Miss Tiantian? You can just call me Tiantian, or Li Tiantian is fine too."
Bai Xinze smiled gently at Li Tiantian: "Okay, Li Tiantian."
After the four finished dinner, Zhou Rui patted his round belly and exclaimed, "Every dish in this restaurant is incredibly delicious! I'm about to burst from overeating!"
Sitting next to him, He Muchen touched his round belly and smiled, "It is quite round."
Li Tiantian leaned closer, wanting to touch Zhou Rui's ravenous belly, wondering if it was cute too.
He placed his hand directly on Zhou Rui's stomach, touching it, and laughed mockingly, "Rui Rui, your belly is at least four months along."
Bai Xinze also curiously came closer and said gently, "Let me see how big a four-month-old belly is."
He Muchen's face darkened, and he said coldly to Li Tiantian, "Li Tiantian, it seems to be getting late. It would be better for a girl to go home early."
Li Tiantian immediately obediently sat back in the back seat, shut her mouth, and pretended to look out the window. He Chou Gou wasn't concerned about her at all; he was reminding her, making a scene, and implying that she should stay home.
Seeing the awkward atmosphere in the car, Zhou Rui tried to ease the tension by saying, "I'm four months pregnant, isn't it? For you big stars, you can't eat it, but I can taste it for you and tell you what it tastes like."
"You guys are making fun of me! Watch out, I'm angry and I'm not playing with you anymore."
He Muchen and Bai Xinze stared at Zhou Rui's pouting face and said in unison, "I'm sorry, Rui Rui, don't be angry."
Zhou Rui felt awkward and didn't want to respond to the two of them. He leaned closer to the driver, Liu Qi, and greeted him with a smile: "Xiao Liu, it's been a long time. I've missed you a little."
