Chapter 991 Heartless Happiness
I laughed dryly. "Is that so... then there's really nothing we can do. Just have fun."
"Okay," Huang Tianyi sighed disappointedly, "I had already convinced Nana and Yingying, and I thought the four of us could go out and have some fun!"
I was a little incredulous. "Those two strong women were willing to leave their studios to accompany you? Especially Yingying, she always talks about striving to become a heroine. How did you convince her?"
"When can I open a studio? I won't starve if I close it for a month or two. Of course, starting a business is something I can only think about when I have more time."
She smiled like a little devil, "I told Yingying, the little Spanish wolfdog, with blond hair, blue eyes, passionate and unrestrained, tall and mighty with eight-pack abs, is sweet-talking and doesn't cost money, the emotional value is directly maximized for you, it's pure free play!"
I almost choked on my saliva. This reason... is really Huang Tianyi's signature style, simple, crude and straight to the point.
I remembered that she used this theory to PUA me and asked me to go to the bar and spend money to find men.
"What about Su Rina? She already has Ling Xiuzhi. Your trick won't work on her, right?" Su Rina doesn't seem like someone who would be tempted by male beauty.
"She just has different needs," Huang Tianyi said proudly. "When I talked to her about the gorgeous embroidery on Spanish flamenco dresses and the leather craftsmanship in Cordoba, she started to waver.
When I talked about grilled octopus legs and then Valencia paella, her eyes lit up and tears of excitement almost flowed from the corners of her mouth.
Listening to her vivid description, I couldn't help but smile. I could almost imagine Su Rina's eyes lighting up when she heard about delicious food.
The heavy and depressed mood of the past few days seemed to have been torn open by Huang Tianyi's heartless happiness, letting in a breath of fresh air, allowing me to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Well," I said helplessly and with some envy, "it seems that you are the only one who can handle them both.
Have fun, be safe, and take lots of pictures.”
I thought to myself that people like Huang Tianyi were probably born to be spoiled by God and enjoy life.
For her, all the pressure of starting a business and family responsibilities must give way to the happiness of the present.
The only hardship she had experienced was probably the bitterness of love she had experienced some time ago.
This pure carefreeness, at this moment and here, makes me a little envious.
"Don't worry! I guarantee you'll have a blast and enjoy your meal!" Huang Tianyi promised cheerfully. "Now you have to be a good wife and mother and take good care of your daughter. I'll do my part for you! I'll send you photos later!"
She chattered a few more words about her itinerary before hanging up the phone with a feeling of being unsatisfied.
The room became quiet again. I walked to the glass window and looked at his pale face quietly.
"Honey," I murmured softly, my fingertips slowly tracing the outline of his face on the glass, my tone not feeling a little aggrieved, "Did you hear that? Tianyi and the others are going to Spain for a trip. When you're better, we can go too, okay?
When I give birth to a beautiful baby, we can go with our family of three. I'll make these childless women so envious!"
The glass reflected my expectant face, but he was still sleeping soundly.
I don’t know if it was because of my pregnancy, but I started to feel sleepy. After eating the lunch that Sister Li had prepared with precise proportions, I took another long nap.
After getting up, he looked at Xiao Shiqiu first, but he still had no reaction.
I felt that I couldn't stay in the room like this, so I decided to go downstairs to see my dad.
I pushed the door open and saw two burly men mopping the already shiny floor in the corridor. When they saw me leave, they nodded at me in a friendly manner. One of them even said hello, "Mrs. Xiao, are you ready to go out?"
I wasn't sure if it was Qiu Binjie or Xiao Zhengning who arranged this, so I smiled and replied, "Well, I'll go downstairs and see my dad."
Just as I finished speaking, the door of the lounge next to me opened and Xiaoyan came out. "Mengmeng, I'll go down with you."
Ever since Fang Dongmei went undercover, the police believed that my organs were no longer valuable enough for the Lu family to pursue, so Xiaoyan stopped following me.
It seems that Xiao Zhengning now feels that I need protection and has brought her back.
I hadn't seen her for a few days, but I still felt very close to her. However, I didn't ask her what she had been doing these days. After all, her work probably required confidentiality.
"Okay," I naturally took her arm and walked into the elevator together.
"From now on, I will live next door. Call me anytime if you need anything." Xiaoyan also didn't ask me anything.
I nodded. After being together for so long, we both have a tacit understanding.
After going downstairs, I went straight to my father's ward. Xiaoyan was sitting in the corridor waiting for me very tactfully.
My mother was sitting next to me peeling an apple, and my father was half leaning against the head of the bed, his face looking more haggard than before.
Hearing the noise, he slowly turned his head.
"Dad," I walked over and sat down beside his bed, "feeling better?"
He pulled at the corners of his mouth, trying to smile, but it seemed forced. "I'm fine, but my bones are sore from lying there." His voice was a little hoarse and full of fatigue.
"Shiqiu, he..." before he could finish.
My mother interrupted him, glanced at me, and then said to my father, "Didn't I just tell you that Shiqiu had an emergency. There's a big project abroad that he has to handle in person. He won't be able to visit you often recently."
My dad said "Oh" and didn't react in any particular way. He just nodded and said, "Work is important. You guys should focus on your own things. Don't worry about me all the time. Your mom... and the caregiver are here."
I know my mother doesn't want my father to know that Xiao Shiqiu is in trouble too.
If it were my father's temper, if he knew that misfortunes were happening one after another at home, he would have to have someone carry me to worship Buddha.
It’s better to keep it a secret for a while.
I don’t know if it was because my mother was there, but my father didn’t mention Xia Yixuan. I hesitated for a moment and felt that I should tell him so that he wouldn’t worry about it.
I briefly mentioned the urn and cemetery I had chosen for him, and also mentioned that a memorial service was performed for him in the temple, and that he would definitely be happy in his next life.
My father said nothing, pursed his lips and looked out the window, his jawline was tense and his Adam's apple rolled up and down several times.
The ward fell into silence. After a long while, he slowly turned his head, his eyes red but no tears fell.
He looked at me with eyes so complicated that I couldn't understand.
"...Mengmeng," his voice was low and hoarse, "Thank you for doing all this for him. Dad understands everything."
At this moment, my phone vibrated. It was not a WeChat message, but a notification text message. I didn't pay much attention to it. Nowadays, text messages are either advertisements or sales promotions. Not many people will click on them to read them.
