Pregnancy (Part 2)
"I'm not." Ruan Qi refused to accept the idea that she was spoiled. She bit her lip and retorted, "I wasn't spoiled by Jiujiu. It was just an accident this morning. I don't know why I suddenly got angry."
Ruan Qi didn't know why she suddenly got angry in the morning, and she didn't know why she wanted to eat bunny pudding so much at that time.
Although she loves delicious food, she never gets angry and throws the plate just because she can't eat something.
What's more, Xi Jiu cooked all three meals a day for the family. Why did she, a person who had everything handed to her, say so many hurtful words to Xi Jiu just because of a little rabbit pudding?
Ruan Qi couldn't figure out what was wrong with him.
She couldn't figure it out, and her heart was filled with guilt.
"Jiujiu hasn't called me yet. He must be angry."
Ruan Qi held the phone and stared at the WeChat chat window with a lonely look.
Shen Wenqian couldn't bear to see her like this, so he tried to persuade her, "Husband and wife always make up after a fight. There's no such thing as overnight grudges. When you get home tonight, try to coax Mr. Xi and he'll definitely forgive you."
But Ruan Qi couldn't wait until tonight.
When she thought about Xi Jiu being angry all day, her heart ached like needles.
She stared at Xi Jiu's chat window for a while, then suddenly looked up and asked Shen Wenqian: "Brother Shen, what are my plans for today?"
Shen Wenqian was stunned by the question.
After realizing what was happening, he replied, "I'm going to be interviewed by the official CTS soon, which will probably take about two hours. After that, we have to shoot a commercial, which should be finished in four hours if we're quick. After the commercial, you need to go back to the company that afternoon. There's been a lot of project documents piled up lately that need your signature."
Today's schedule can be said to be very full.
Ruan Qi lowered her eyes, thinking silently.
The interview with CTS was already scheduled and couldn't be postponed. The filming crew for the advertising department was already in place, so they couldn't change the schedule just because of her personal matters.
In that case, then I have no choice but to...
"Brother Shen, please call your assistant and ask him to bring me the documents that need to be signed."
Shen Wenqian exclaimed, "Huh?"
"You're not going back to the company this afternoon?"
"I'm not going back." Ruan Qi shook her head, her eyes red from crying and filled with anxiety. "I want to go find Jiujiu this afternoon."
Shen Wenqian: "There are a lot of documents. You have such a tight schedule today, you probably won't be able to sign them all, right?"
"It's okay, I can use the time to rest and eat."
Shen Wenqian paused, wanting to say that Master Xi had just told me an hour ago to watch you while you eat.
But just as the words were on the tip of his tongue, he heard Ruan Qi say decisively: "It's settled. I'll just have a quick bite at noon today, and spend the rest of the time signing documents. Let's go, Brother Chen, let's do the interview."
Shen Wenqian: “…”
——
Ruan Qi quickly immersed herself in her busy work.
Shen Wenqian waited for a long time, but in the end he didn't find a chance to tell her that Xi Jiu had sent him a WeChat message.
Ruan Qi spent two hours interviewing and four hours filming a commercial, taking only a ten-minute break to grab a burger. All the time she squeezed out was spent signing company documents.
Most of the day passed quickly.
By the time Ruan Qi finished all her work, it was already past two in the afternoon.
"Okay! It's over, time to call it a day!"
The photographer responsible for shooting the commercial finally announced the end.
Ruan Qi didn't have time to greet everyone, so she hurried to the dressing room to remove her makeup, change her clothes, and quickly left the shooting site.
She returned to the nanny car as quickly as possible.
The car door slammed shut, and Ruan Qi grabbed the remaining stack of documents and began to read through them quickly.
Shen Wenqian, who was sitting next to her, glanced at her, shook his head helplessly, and said to the driver in front: "Old Wu, go to Xi's."
…
The nanny car slowly drove into the traffic flow.
At the same time, at Xi's headquarters, all the employees on the top floor have been in dire straits today.
Xi's company is quite busy today. The company's top management has been holding meetings since morning, and up to now, they have already held three meetings.
What was even more tormenting was that for some reason, the big boss was in a very bad mood today. His handsome face was as cold as ice, which frightened all the senior executives in the conference room into silence, fearing that they would say something wrong and be exiled to Africa by the bad-tempered Xi Jiu.
Of course, Xi Jiu is not an unscrupulous boss who takes his anger out on his employees.
Even when he was in a bad mood, he never used it to make a scene. Although he kept a sullen face, he didn't let anyone down, and he finished the three meetings with a very stable mood.
After the meeting, Xi Jiu returned to the office on the top floor.
At this time, more than 99% of Xi's executives were analyzing the reasons why the big boss was in a bad mood today.
I Love 007: Did he have a fight with his boss' wife? He rarely brings his emotions to work, especially since marrying his wife. He doesn't exactly look radiant when he comes to work, but he's pretty approachable. I haven't seen him look this downbeat and icy in years.
I love my company, and my company loves me: Huh? Fighting? No way? The boss and his wife have such a good relationship, how could they possibly fight?
Secretary No. 1: But if they weren't arguing, why was the boss in such a bad mood? I went to his office this morning to bring him coffee, and wow, there was a black cloud behind his head. It scared me.
Secretary No. 2: I just came out of the office. The boss might have had a real argument with his wife. He's been sitting at his desk, frowning at his phone. I glanced at him on my way out, and there's a WeChat chat window with his wife.
Everyone:!!!
At this moment, the office was quiet and silent, with only the pink bunny humidifier on the desk spraying out water mist.
Such a girly humidifier doesn't match this office with its black and white lines and cold style.
However, it was placed upright in the position closest to Xi Jiu.
Furthermore, this office was filled with many other objects with vibrant colors and styles. For example, there was the cute little succulent plant next to the computer, the Capybara pillow on the sofa, the rainbow candy jar on the pure black bookshelf, and the white heart-shaped waist cushion printed on the large executive chair beneath Xi Jiu, a symbol of status and wealth.
——All these things were bought by Ruan Qi.
Ever since she started dating Xi Jiu, Ruan Qi often added things to his office.
Xi Jiu was always glued to his computer, so she bought him some radiation-blocking succulents. He often sat in the air-conditioned office during the day, so she bought him a humidifier. Sometimes, when Xi Jiu was tired from work, he'd just lie down on the sofa for a nap, so Ruan Qi bought him a soft, comfortable pillow to help him sleep comfortably. Even the white lumbar cushion on his executive chair was carefully selected at the mall by Ruan Qi, worried that prolonged sitting might be bad for his spine.
Ruan Qi's feelings for Xi Jiu were never just lip service.
She loves him very much and takes care of him in every detail of life.
However, it was also because of this that Xi Jiu was so at a loss when Ruan Qi suddenly lost his temper this morning.
He had never seen Ruan Qi get so angry with him, nor had he ever experienced the helplessness and loneliness of his partner slamming the door and leaving like other ordinary couples.
But today, he experienced it.
This experience is very bad.
However, Xi Jiu didn't think Ruan Qi was wrong.
What did Ruan Qi do wrong?
She just wanted to eat bunny pudding.
He didn't do it well enough.
The family ran out of ingredients for making pudding. Why couldn't he have discovered it earlier and bought some? He had clearly promised Ruan Qi that he would never let her suffer any injustice when they got married, but after getting married, he couldn't even let her have a pudding.
It’s no wonder his baby is angry and crying because of such a great grievance.
Xi Jiu spent the better part of the day reflecting on his mistakes. The more he reflected, the more he felt he had gone too far. And when he thought about Ruan Qi crying as she left the house this morning, he became even more restless.
Xi Jiu couldn't hold back any longer and reached out to grab the phone on the desk.
Unlock the screen, enter WeChat, enter the chat window... all the actions were done in one go, and then, it got stuck at the last step.
He stared at the blank input box and his hand stopped.
Baby told me not to contact her this morning. If he sends her a message now, will she be angry?
Xi Jiu, who always took Ruan Qi's words as the golden rule, was in trouble for the first time.
He wanted to send a message to comfort Ruan Qi, but he was afraid that Ruan Qi would get even angrier after seeing his message. The baby's health had only just recovered a few years ago, so what if he got angry again?
Xi Jiu stared at his phone with a gloomy face, feeling extremely conflicted.
Because he was so focused, he didn't hear the subtle footsteps outside the office.
Until the next second——
With a click.
The office door was opened.
Entering your boss's office without knocking is a big taboo in the workplace.
After the meeting, Xi Jiu told the receptionist and secretary that he wanted to be alone for a while and to call in advance if there was anything.
But he didn't expect that even after all his repeated warnings, there would still be someone so tactless as to disturb him.
Xi Jiu was already in a bad mood because he had angered Ruan Qi. When he heard someone barging in without knocking, the anger in his heart suddenly exploded.
He looked up with a gloomy face and said, "Who let you in—"
The words were not finished.
He saw the man standing at the door.
A familiar face, a familiar figure, familiar clothes... That dress was the one Xi Jiu personally changed for Ruan Qi this morning when she was lazy in bed.
And now, the person who had been put in the dress by him was standing at the door of his office.
The anger on Xi Jiu's face suddenly stopped, his brain froze with a click, and his angry expression was replaced by one of disbelief and dullness.
He stared blankly at Ruan Qi at the door.
Ruan Qi was also looking at him.
Unlike Xi Jiu's disbelief and shock, Ruan Qi was filled with anxiety at this moment.
She was worried that Xi Jiu was angry with her, so she walked very carefully when entering the office.
Now, looking at Xi Jiu sitting in front of the desk without saying a word, Ruan Qi just thought that he didn't want to pay attention to her, and the annoyance in her heart suddenly became stronger.
She tightly grasped the food box in her hand, bit her lip, and whispered: "Jiujiu, I..."
The voice barely managed to utter three words.
There was a bang, and Xi Jiu, who was sitting in the big chair, stood up suddenly.
The quarreling couple is so cute
