Chapter 76
"Auntie..." Ning Qingxu looked at her, "Do you work at Haiyan?"
An Qian seemed to have not expected him to mention this and looked at him blankly.
"Do you know who is Haiyan's investor this time?" Ning Qingxu said.
Not long ago, An Qian's mother happened to get a promotion and the company signed a contract with the investor, making a lot of money.
For this reason, An Qian took a lot of money from her family and spent a lot of money to use a private detective to find out the location of the apartment.
Not long after that, her mother was about to lose her job because of her obedient daughter.
"If the company happens to be laying off employees,...what are the chances that she can stay?" Ning Qingxu calmly released pheromones to suppress the sweet-scented osmanthus scent of An Qian.
An Qian's heart was beating violently. She looked at him helplessly, the corners of her mouth twitching as she grabbed Ning Qingxu's hand: "Qingxu, what... do you mean by this?"
Xu Song leaned against the wall and watched the show coldly.
An Qian had the impression that Ning Qingxu would have the decency to back off. But she had provoked his Omega, a pregnant one at that. Even Ning Qingxu, despite his good temper, could not tolerate An Qian's impudence.
Ning Qingxu pulled his hand away and said slowly, "I don't want to hit an Omega, but what did you do to my Omega just now?"
"She slapped you?"
"Um."
"Didn't fight back?"
"I kicked her, using a bit of force." Xu Song measured the force, smiled harmlessly, and gave a positive answer, "It probably hurt quite a bit."
"OK."
An Qian sat on the ground helplessly, her tone tinged with pleading, "Qing Xu, I...I won't bother you anymore. Please don't fire my mom! It's really not easy for her to get this position."
"She won't be able to survive without this job! If you're unhappy, can you just come after me? Please..."
She still thought that Ning Qingxu's actions were due to her personal emotional entanglement, but Ning Qingxu only cared about Xu Song.
"I've given you a chance." Ning Qingxu looked at her coldly, "Why don't you leave and wait for me to send you off?"
An Qian swallowed her tears and saw that there was no room for words. Even though she was reluctant, she had to leave.
After Xu Song waited for her to leave, he was too lazy to explain to Ning Qingxu. The temperature in the living room was even lower at night, so he turned around and went back to his room.
Ning Qingxu had said earlier that she had something to do and asked him to go to bed first. But An Qian came back to cause trouble, and it had been going on until now, and it was already very late. Xu Song had just been upset, and he must be feeling bad too. Ning Qingxu's eyes darkened as he stood by the French window and made a phone call.
The distance between the living room and the bedroom was a little far. Xu Song listened to the noise outside and couldn't help but murmur, "Is it really that busy?"
After Ning Qingxu finished his call, he went back to his room to get his clothes and then turned around to take a shower. He ignored Xu Song the whole time. Xu Song couldn't tell what he was thinking, but he didn't want to guess what he was thinking either. After Ning Qingxu finished his shower, Xu Song still didn't sleep.
The side of Xu Song's face that had been hit was originally just red, but now it was still slightly swollen. Such a funny wound on his fair face was particularly conspicuous.
Ning Qingxu didn't feel unhappy about being accused. He straightened his face and replied, "Yeah. Indeed, I have to apply ice cubes, otherwise the swelling won't go away by tomorrow." After that, he went into the kitchen to make ice cubes.
The apartment was well-equipped with daily necessities, including some dessert-making tools. There was also a complete set of ice cube trays. Just fill the tray with tap water, cover the other side, and let the excess water overflow. Then, place the tray in the freezer. But you have to freeze it overnight, so I can't use ice cubes tonight.
Ning Qingxu wet a towel with cold water and applied it to the injured side of Xu Song's face.
"Actually, I thought you would be very angry." Xu Song said suddenly.
"Why?" Ning Qingxu wiped his face.
"Because I had a conflict with her and got injured, and...I was pregnant and we had a fight." Xu Song looked at him.
"Will you be happy if I'm angry?" Ning Qingxu asked.
"Of course not, I'm just guessing." Xu Song said.
Ning Qingxu lowered his eyes, and Xu Song heard him say:
"Then I'm not angry."
"I only do what you like."
The next morning, Xu Song was woken by his alarm clock. He reached for it disapprovingly, but it was empty. Frustrated, he rubbed his hair and sat up. Ning Qingxu and he stared at each other.
"...What?" Xu Song stared at him.
"Brother, you need to apply some mask on your face." Ning Qingxu also looked at him.
"What time is it?" Xu Song was very impatient after being woken up. "Are you going to have class today? Why set the alarm?"
Ning Qingxu handed him the phone and turned to get the ice cube tray from the freezer. He took out the ice cubes first, then washed the towel, stuffed a few ice cubes in it, and rolled up the towel.
Xu Song looked at the towel suspiciously, paused for a moment, then took it and applied it to his face. He hadn't woken up since early morning, but the ice cube suddenly woke him up. The date on his phone was 8:00 AM on Saturday, but because the curtains were drawn and dark, Xu Song thought it was still early.
"...It's already eight o'clock." Xu Song scratched his head awkwardly. After keeping the towel on his face for a while, he handed it to Ning Qingxu.
Ning Qingxu got up and went to the living room to get clothes for him. She was very quick because in this weather, he would catch a cold if he took off his clothes in a short while.
Xu Song wore a corduroy jacket and flared pants today. The weather had gotten even colder when he arrived in Ningcheng. Haicheng is surrounded by the sea, so the winter temperatures aren't particularly cold. A gust of cold wind blew, and Xu Song wrapped himself tightly in his jacket. He had just returned home and opened the door to see Xu Muya sitting on the sofa watching TV.
Xu Song paused for a moment before greeting Xu Muya with a smile, "Mom, I'm back."
Xu Muya was also stunned for a moment as she looked at him, as if she hadn't expected him to come back so close to the exam. Then she quickly stood up and walked towards him, turning him left and right, her face full of worry as she muttered, "Xiao Song? Why did you suddenly want to come back? It's so cold, it's not convenient to come back... What if you catch a cold?"
"No." Xu Song stiffened his body, afraid that Xu Muya would notice something, so he quickly changed the subject, "Mom, are you okay at home? Are you tired from work?"
"Oh, Xiao Song is so thoughtful... I'm fine staying at home." Xu Muya pulled him to sit down, turned on the heater, and took another set of bedding and put it on the sofa. Looking at his face, Xu Muya began to mutter again, "You didn't eat well at school again? You've lost weight."
Xu Song was wearing thick clothes and the temperature was turned up high. He felt hot and took off his coat, revealing the thin black long-sleeved shirt underneath.
"You'll catch a cold, cover yourself up!" Xu Muya patted him anxiously, pulled the quilt over Xu Song, glanced around, saw Xu Song's slightly bulging belly, and hesitated.
Xu Song gasped at her and was just about to find an excuse to put Xu Muya off.
Then Xu Muya laughed and said, "It turns out that all the fat has grown on the belly."
Xu Song: “…”
