Every movement was like a slap in my face.
There was pain in the joints between my bones.
I have imagined this kind of scene many times.
As I looked at it, I was clearly at home, but I felt a chill all over my body.
"Nanzhi, are you awake?"
Fu Jinan turned around and saw me, and greeted me with a smile, "Come and try Achuan's cooking, it's guaranteed to be delicious."
After she finished speaking, she brought the dishes to the table, acting like a hostess.
I took a deep breath, looked past her, and asked Fu Qichuan directly, "Why is she here?"
Fu Qichuan served the last dish, took off his apron, and said coldly, "She can get out after finishing this meal."
"Do you have any conscience? You really want me to get out?" Fu Jinan glared at him.
"Fu Jinan, stop while you're ahead! Stop causing trouble for me." Fu Qichuan's face was as gloomy as water, and it seemed that his patience had run out.
"mean."
Fu Jinan muttered something and pulled me over to eat.
It seemed as if the person who cried and begged my husband for a divorce yesterday wasn't her. The person who tried every possible way to get my husband away wasn't her.
Fu Qichuan is a good cook, and his five dishes and one soup are all delicious and fragrant.
Even if I don't eat it, my baby with a stomachache has to eat it.
She has no shame, so what should I be afraid of?
Just sit down and eat.
Fu Jinan said softly: "Does it taste good?"
I smiled and said, "His cooking is delicious. He usually cooks for us whenever he's at home."
Of course this is false.
They just want to use this low-level method to declare sovereignty.
“…”
Fu Jinan glanced at Fu Qichuan lightly and said, "I didn't expect you to be so nice to other people."
"Can't you shut your mouth even when eating?"
Fu Qichuan sneered and picked up a piece of pork ribs for me.
Fu Jinan hummed softly and said to me casually, "Do you know why he can cook? I taught him everything, especially scrambled eggs with tomatoes, which is my favorite dish. He puts the most effort into making it!"
By the way, the tomato and egg noodles he made were also delicious, but he made it for me every day for a while, and I got tired of it. Later, he would only make it when he wanted to save time.
…
The tips of my fingers holding the chopsticks turned white, and my nails dug deep into the flesh.
It turns out that even the egg noodles that I was so happy to eat were something that others were tired of.
Suddenly I remembered the night of our wedding anniversary when I asked him who he learned cooking from and he was stunned for half a minute.
That half minute.
What is he thinking about.
He was thinking about Fu Jinan, or the memories of when he and Fu Jinan learned to cook.
"Come to think of it, you should thank me. If it weren't for me, how could you have such a capable wife who is both good at housework and good at cooking?" Fu Jinan kept talking in a soft voice.
I put down my chopsticks abruptly, unable to bear it any longer. I put on a forced smile and said, "Really? So it's your own unhappy marriage that's why you want him to take over?"
"Fu Qichuan, I didn't realize you also have a hobby of being a scapegoat and a garbage collector." I stared at Fu Qichuan with a faint gaze.
"Ruan Nanzhi, what do you mean?!"
Fu Jinan was furious, looking at Fu Qichuan with red eyes, "Achuan, we are obviously a family. Just because you get married, can't you even have family around you?"
"Are you full? I'll let Qin Ze take you there." Fu Qichuan remained calm and didn't even give her a glance.
"Even you help her bully me?"
Fu Jinan's tears instantly rolled down, her face full of disbelief and pitiful expression, "Are you sure you don't want me anymore?"
Fu Qichuan said in a calm voice, "Remember what you promised me. If you need any help in the future, just contact Qin Ze directly."
Fu Jinan's shoulders trembled slightly, as if he had suffered great harm.
Seeing that Fu Qichuan's expression didn't relax at all, she laughed and said angrily: "Okay, I know. I won't bother you anymore. Whether I live or die in the future, it has nothing to do with you."
She stood up and left with her suitcase without hesitation.
Qin Ze was waiting for her in the car. Seeing this, he quickly got out to help her move the suitcase.
…
Fu Qichuan didn't even glance at it the whole time.
I was also surprised at how quickly he drew the line.
I just found out about his relationship with Fu Jinan last night, and today they broke up.
It was so fast that I couldn't believe it.
"What are you thinking about? Eat well."
Fu Qichuan rubbed my head and distracted me.
It's as if there has never been any barrier between us.
For the first time ever, he stayed with me for the entire day. When I went to the yard to digest my food, he followed me. When I went to feed the fish, he followed me.
I drew the design draft and he handled the work beside me.
He didn't say it, but I could tell he was trying to coax me.
When I came out of the shower at night, the alarm on my cell phone rang.
I broke off a piece of pregnancy-preserving medicine and put it in my mouth.
Fu Qichuan came in with a cup of hot milk and asked, "Why are you taking medicine?"
"Health supplements."
I looked at his deep eyes and said, "Please take some time to go to the hospital with me next Saturday. I want to get a checkup. Then, I want to take you somewhere."
It's time to go to the hospital for a follow-up check.
He was willing to cut off contact with Fu Jinan, which could be considered as a choice he had made.
But I'm still not at ease, afraid that something unexpected might happen, so I don't want to tell him about my pregnancy yet.
If nothing unexpected happens, he will know on the day of the examination.
He will take out the ultrasound report from the machine with his own hands and see with his own eyes that he is going to be a father.
He will know that we have a child.
As I thought about it, I couldn't help but start looking forward to it.
"Okay, is your stomach still hurting? Why don't you go to the hospital tomorrow instead of waiting until Saturday?"
"No, it's no big deal."
After I started taking the medicine, my stomach pain was almost gone and there was no bleeding. I should just go for a follow-up checkup at the time instructed by the doctor.
Hearing this, Fu Qichuan said nothing more. He put the milk on the bedside table and reached out to hold me in his arms. "I'm sorry for making you suffer these days. Don't be angry anymore, ok?"
It's like a cat being stroked by its fur.
I couldn't stand being coaxed by him like this, and the anger in my heart gradually subsided. I said concisely: "I can not be angry, but Fu Qichuan, there will be no next time."
There will be a next time.
We're done.
…
The next afternoon, Jiang Lai came to my office to slack off.
"The field office is so idle?"
I stopped and looked at her, jokingly saying.
Today she was wearing a V-neck silk shirt and a beige fishtail skirt. She walked in wearing high heels. Her every move was full of charm, and her hair was high and straight.
"Why, the boss lady can't bear to see us employees take a breath?"
She raised her red lips, holding two cups of milk tea in her hands. She placed one in front of me and chattered non-stop, "Don't worry, drink it, the tea leaves have been removed. I asked a doctor friend, and he said you should drink less tea during pregnancy. But there are too many precautions, I'll send them to you on WeChat later, so don't be careless. Pregnancy is a big deal, you know..."
"Jiang Lai."
I interrupted her and said with great amusement under her puzzled gaze: "You look like my mother."
My parents died because our family went bankrupt, and the debt collectors blocked the entrance of my school, trying to use me to threaten my father to pay back the money.
My parents were terrified and rushed over, but they encountered a car going the wrong way and had a serious car accident.
I was only eight years old at that time.
For many years, I was trapped in guilt and self-blame. They died for me.
Later, Jiang Lai told me that they did it because they loved me.
Yes, in my vague memories, they have given me so much love.
My family's company is very big, but no matter how busy he is, my father will be at home with me and my mother every weekend.
Their uncle urged them to have a second child, saying that the family business was so big that they needed a son to inherit it.
My mother immediately said, "Who said only sons can inherit? They won't let anyone take away what belongs to me. Love, property, everything is mine alone."
If it weren't for that car accident, my mother would have cared about me meticulously if she knew I was pregnant.
"Miss your uncle and aunt?"
Jiang Lai was stunned for a moment, "I remember it seemed like the anniversary of his death was approaching."
She paused for a moment, then picked up her phone and glanced at it. "It's almost time. Do you want to take Fu Qichuan to visit your uncle and aunt this year?"
"Well, that's the plan."
Come to think of it, after three years of marriage, I still haven’t taken Fu Qichuan to visit my parents.
Firstly, he was busy, and secondly, he always felt like something was missing, so I never mentioned it.
