After seeing Zhao Ma, Pei Xiaoxiao excitedly pulled Zhao Ma in and said happily: "You know what? Zichen just agreed to pick me up for dinner.
When Zichen told me he wanted a divorce, I was furious. We had been together for over six months, and our relationship was too good to be broken. Zichen certainly couldn't bear to leave me; he knew how much I held in his heart.
Zhao Ma smiled a little reluctantly, "Yes, Master Duan must love the young lady very much. The young lady is so beautiful and charming."
Pei Xiaoxiao was in a state of great joy.
Immersed in joy, she did not notice Zhao Ma's embarrassing words.
"Zhao Ma, you're really good at talking. I like hearing this. Okay, I won't say any more to you. I need to quickly pick out some clothes and put on some light makeup. Zichen likes to see me with light makeup. Lately, my complexion has been really bad..."
She pulled Zhao Ma into the cloakroom and asked her to help choose clothes. She didn't know what to wear for her date today.
Throughout the whole process, Zhao Ma seemed a little uneasy.
She tried to speak several times but was too scared to.
He just nodded cordially, his attitude clearly perfunctory.
Pei Xiaoxiao was a little unhappy and threw the clothes aside. "Auntie Zhao, can you give me some serious practical advice? Why do you say yes to every choice I make?"
Mother Zhao was so frightened that her face turned slightly pale. She quickly explained, "Miss, I'm telling the truth. You are very beautiful and you look good in anything you wear."
Pei Xiaoxiao calmed down a little, and finally showed a smile.
"Forget it, forget it. I won't ask you anymore. You wouldn't understand even if I asked you. You don't usually read fashion magazines, and you don't know how to match clothes. Come, I'll choose for myself. You go down and do your thing."
Zhao Ma nodded, "Okay, Miss..."
But she took two steps and stopped.
Pei Xiaoxiao turned her head to look at her, a little impatient, "What's wrong? Is there anything else?"
Zhao Ma hesitated to speak, "..."
Pei Xiaoxiao was already very impatient. "What's the matter? Tell me quickly, don't delay my date."
Mother Zhao took a deep breath, lowered her voice, and said carefully: "Miss, it's like this. You have been discharged from the hospital for three days, but you haven't gone to the backyard to see your mother..."
Before she finished speaking, Pei Xiaoxiao became angry.
"Zhao Ma, are you accusing me of being unfilial? How presumptuous!"
Zhao Ma was so frightened that she trembled and waved her hands quickly.
"No, no, miss, that's not the case. I've seen my wife's mood getting worse and worse recently. You are her only daughter. I want you to meet her, so you can comfort her..."
Pei Xiaoxiao's face darkened and her tone was unfriendly.
"Zhao Ma, do I need to remind you of your identity? You are just a servant in our family. Yes, you have taken care of that woman for so many years. But you are just a servant. What right do you have to say these things? Besides, am I a doctor? Can I cure her illness? What's the point of visiting her?"
Zhao Ma's heart was slightly blocked.
If the lady were conscious, how sad would she be to hear these words? It is said that a son will never dislike his mother's ugliness, especially since she was her biological mother who had been ill for many years.
Why can't the young lady understand such a simple truth? She has such a high degree.
Pei Xiaoxiao was very angry when she mentioned the woman in the backyard.
"Come on, get off. I don't want to see you. Don't be so presumptuous in the future. Go down quickly and don't ruin my date."
Mother Zhao didn't dare to say anything more and quickly retreated.
Pei Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, his good mood was affected.
It wasn't until she finished dressing up and looked at her gentle and elegant self in the mirror, giving herself a charming smile, that her mood finally eased.
Her cell phone suddenly rang, and she thought it was a text message from Duan Zichen.
When she opened it, it was Lin Jinrong, who said she had cooked some nutritious soup and asked her to go to Liu's house to drink it when she had time.
She frowned and tossed it aside.
Lin Jinrong is really annoyed, she won't go to Liu's house.
Whenever she went to the Liu family, she would think of that bitch Liu Zhiyuan.
Who has the mood to drink soup?
Duan Zichen finally arrived.
When the housekeeper came upstairs to inform her, she immediately came downstairs.
The moment she saw Duan Zichen, Pei Xiaoxiao immediately smiled slightly and walked forward, intending to hug Duan Zichen.
"You've lost weight. Have you been working too hard lately?"
Duan Zichen avoided her without leaving a trace and just said coldly, "Let's go."
Pei Xiaoxiao's smile suddenly became awkward, but she didn't mind.
She smiled and nodded.
"Well, I'm hungry too."
After walking two steps, I happened to meet Zhao Ma who was coming back from the backyard.
Pei Xiaoxiao immediately said with gentle and kind concern,
"Auntie Zhao, it's almost autumn, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is huge. Remember to change Mom's quilt to a thicker one, and remember to tell the kitchen to make some nourishing soup for Mom."
Zhao Ma's back was slightly stiff, and her smile was a little unnatural.
"Yes, miss."
Devosi Restaurant.
In the elegant environment, the melodious and cheerful sound of violin can be heard.
Pei Xiaoxiao smiled, her eyes full of admiration as she stared at the handsome man opposite her.
After not seeing him for a long time, she could tell at a glance that he had really lost a lot of weight.
She was very distressed, so when she ordered food, she ordered the dishes that Zichen liked.
Exquisite dishes were placed in front of the two of them one by one.
Pei Xiaoxiao was intoxicated in this warm and romantic atmosphere.
The reflection in her eyes was exactly Zichen's three-dimensional facial features.
"Come, eat more. Zichen, this is your favorite sweet-scented osmanthus fish. You've really lost a lot of weight. Otherwise, come to my house tomorrow and I'll make you some delicious supplements."
Duan Zichen obviously had no appetite.
He frowned slightly and replied coldly: "No need."
Pei Xiaoxiao laughed again.
"If you're busy, I can deliver it to the company. Can you come and get it yourself?"
Duan Zichen frowned impatiently, "I said no."
Pei Xiaoxiao smiled slightly and nodded gently.
"All right."
Duan Zichen put down his chopsticks and looked at her seriously.
"I asked you out today because I have something to tell you."
Pei Xiaoxiao looked at his cold tone and cold eyes, and her originally warm heart seemed to be poured with a bucket of cold water.
Duan Zichen's complete calmness made her shudder subconsciously. Obviously, she didn't want to hear what he said next.
"Zichen, eat first. You really like the food in this restaurant. Come, try this."
Duan Zichen said in a deep voice,
"That's enough. I don't want to eat. I have no appetite. I came here today to talk to you..."
"Zi Chen."
Pei Xiaoxiao quickly interrupted him, "Zichen, let's talk after dinner. I'm hungry and I want to eat something."
Duan Zichen looked at her unhappily.
"Forget it, there's no point in running away. Pei Xiaoxiao, there are some things I don't want to wait for any longer. Obviously, I didn't ask you out today to have dinner with you."
Pei Xiaoxiao looked at him, her face slightly pale, revealing an aggrieved look, "Zi Chen..."
