Chapter 1338: Times are always different from before
That afternoon, Cheng Xiaoyu woke up. Except for the injury on his foot, his body had fully recovered.
After three days of observation in the hospital, the two completed the discharge procedures and returned home.
Shi Chenyuan's injury has not healed yet, but it is only a superficial injury and does not affect his normal work.
Cheng Xiaoyu has been recuperating at home.
She hopped on one leg around the house every day. After a week, she complained to Shi Chenyuan that if she was not allowed to go out and exercise, she would suffocate to death. She had already gained two kilograms and her waist had become thicker.
Shi Chenyuan put his arm around her waist and measured her with his arm: "You can still gain some weight."
Xiao Yu immediately relaxed her frown after hearing his words and said with a smile, "If I get fat, will President Shi dislike me?"
"Is it bad to be a little fatter?" Shi Chenyuan's hand slid up along her ribs. "Besides, Assistant Cheng is very good at gaining weight. It seems like he's gained weight in the right places."
She blushed and held Shi Chenyuan's hand: "I'm a patient, and you're taking advantage of me!"
…
On the surface, their lives were no different from usual.
They were still the same as before. Occasionally, Chen Yuan would speak too directly, causing Xiao Yu to either ignore him or have a small quarrel with him, but there was nothing that couldn't be resolved by a delicious meal and a passionate lovemaking.
But Cheng Xiaoyu vaguely felt that Shi Chenyuan was different from before.
Ever since the kidnapping incident, he often looked lost in thought.
Several times, Cheng Xiaoyu woke up in the middle of the night and found him sitting on a chair on the balcony smoking with a gloomy expression, which made her feel a little uneasy.
She never asked about Yu Manning and acted completely indifferent to the kidnapping.
But even if he didn't mention it, she could feel that Shi Zong had a knot in his heart, perhaps out of guilt towards her, perhaps because he was eager to protect her, or perhaps because he couldn't swallow this humiliation.
Cheng Xiaoyu suspected that he was planning how to deal with Yu Haiqiang.
Soon, her guess was confirmed.
That day, Chen Yuan left home and went to the company as usual. As soon as he left, his young and capable mother came to their apartment.
After Cheng Xiaoyu opened the door, she was a little surprised to see Shi's mother. She then greeted her politely and told Shi's mother that Chen Yuan had gone to the company and had just left.
But my mother said, "I'm not looking for him. I came to see you."
Cheng Xiaoyu was stunned by the other party's polite attitude.
The last time they met, Shi's mother tried to persuade her to break up with Mr. Shi, or to separate for a while, because if Mr. Shi did not marry Yu Manning, his brother's career would end.
Because of her preference for her younger son, Shi's mother hopes that her eldest son Shi Chenyuan will give up his own happiness and compromise with the Yu family.
But she couldn't persuade Shi Chenyuan, so she had to go find Cheng Xiaoyu.
Afterwards, Cheng Xiaoyu certainly did not listen to Shi Chenyuan's mother's advice. She believed that Mr. Shi would be able to find a solution instead of sacrificing her own happiness.
"Did I disturb you?" Shi's mother asked awkwardly.
Cheng Xiaoyu came back to her senses and noticed that the feeling of meeting Shi's mother this time was different from before.
Her future mother-in-law did not show any strength or arrogance, and was even a little humble.
Moreover, Shi's mother didn't wear any makeup, and her face looked pale and haggard. It was obvious that she had been very worried recently.
Cheng Xiaoyu quickly welcomed Shi's mother into the house.
They came to the living room and sat on the sofa.
"Auntie, you are looking for me..."
"I want to ask you a favor," Shi's mother said, her eyes slightly red. "Can you persuade Shen Yuan for me? He only listens to you now."
"What do you want to persuade him about?" Cheng Xiaoyu asked in confusion.
