235 Only a good appearance
After lunch, Gao Qinghe and his wife sat at Huang Yanqiu's house for a while and then prepared to go back.
The sky was gray and looked like evening.
Zheng Xiaopeng sent the couple out and was about to get in the car.
Two people were walking down the street, a man and a woman. The woman's eyes were red and swollen, obviously she had been crying, but now she was nestled in the man's arms, her face full of a happy smile.
Zhou Zhenghua held his wife with one hand and helped her hold the newly bought roasted corn with the other hand. The couple looked very much in love.
If I hadn't just seen the two of them slam the door and leave, I would have thought nothing had happened.
Ouyang Yan first saw Gao Qinghe and his wife.
When she just went out, she saw the car parked in front of Huang Yanqiu's house, but she was in such a bad mood that she didn't think much about it.
Now that I saw Gao Qinghe, I realized that the red Xiali was the car of the coal boss Jiang Baohai.
I heard that big bosses like these are very busy, but they actually have time to accompany their wives to visit relatives.
When Zhou Zhenghua saw the two of them, the doting smile he was giving his wife suddenly froze.
Then he quickly put away his smile, and when Gao Qinghe looked at him, he quickly let go of his hand on his wife's shoulder.
Ouyang Yan glanced at him and did not miss the embarrassment and panic that flashed across her husband's eyes.
She originally thought that her husband, as a college student, should be more open-minded, but she didn't expect him to be so old-fashioned.
When we are outside, we never walk hand in hand in crowded places.
Don’t even think about hugging and playing around like other young couples.
At most, I would put my arm around her shoulders.
Even if he puts his arm around someone's shoulders, he would only show a little intimacy that a husband should have towards his wife when there are few people around, or in special circumstances like today.
So Ouyang Yan didn't think much about it. She just thought that her husband let go of his hand because he saw an acquaintance and felt embarrassed.
She also nodded politely to Gao Qinghe and his wife.
Little did he know that Zhou Zhenghua's heart was in turmoil at this moment. Looking at Gao Qinghe standing next to Jiang Baohai, his breathing became disordered.
Gao Qinghe was wearing a light grey coat today and a big red scarf given by her sister-in-law around her neck, which made her already fair skin look rosy and shiny.
Her long hair was tied into a lazy bun on top of her head, and the loose hair on her forehead fell sensibly where it should fall, making her face look small and delicate, not like a real person, but more like a porcelain doll.
She has an unmade-up face, gentle smiling eyes, an indescribable softness in her body, and a frown that makes me feel pity for her.
Having seen her flamboyant and bright appearance for so many times, Zhou Zhenghua suddenly had a crazy idea that as long as she asked, he would satisfy her even if it meant dying.
But she didn't want him to look at her any longer. She just nodded politely to Ouyang Yan and got into the car.
Jiang Baohai closed the car door, walked around to the driver's seat, and before getting in, he glanced at Zhou Zhenghua warningly.
Be careful or I’ll dig out your eyeballs and crush them!
Sensing Jiang Baohai's warning, Zhou Zhenghua lowered his brows and reluctantly withdrew his gaze.
He forced himself to suppress the crazy jealousy in his heart, maintained his decency and took the initiative to extend his hand to shake hands with Jiang Baohai.
Before Mr. Jiang could even utter the word "Mr. Jiang", the car door slammed shut.
The car started and sped past him, leaving only a splash of mud and water.
"Hey! Don't you even look at the road?"
Ouyang Yan yelled angrily and hurriedly lowered her head to check Zhou Zhenghua's pants.
I just put on new pants today, and there was a piece of yellow mud on the trouser legs, which was disgusting and annoying.
She was anxious and jumping here, but he was staring at the speeding car, lost in thought.
It seemed as if the soul had flown away with it.
Ouyang Yan called Zhou Zhenghua three times before he turned his head in a daze.
The first thing he said was not to express concern about his dirty pants, nor to comfort her anxious mood.
Instead, say: "Don't you have a red scarf? Take it out and wear it."
Ouyang Yan looked at him in surprise, "You said before that red doesn't suit me, so I gave it away."
After she finished speaking, she suddenly remembered something and asked tentatively in disbelief:
"What do you mean? Do you think she looks good in a red scarf? Do you want me to dress like her?"
But before she married him, she also dressed herself up beautifully every day!
Ouyang Yan looked down at the clothes she was wearing today: a bulky ginger cotton coat, baggy straight cotton pants, and a pair of warm cotton shoes.
I touched my hair and found that the delicate curly hair that I had permed before had not been taken care of for a long time, and it became dry and rough, so I had to tie it all up.
She no longer wore those beautiful earrings, hairbands, and small handbags.
Because I don’t have the energy.
My morning sickness hasn't eased yet, and I have to deal with my mother-in-law who is sarcastic and throws tantrums every day, but I still insist on going to class.
These alone have used up all her energy. How can she have the time and energy to focus on herself?
"Zhou Zhenghua!"
Ouyang Yan asked seriously, "Tell me the truth, do you also think I'm ugly and unfashionable now, like a country girl?"
"Do you..." Before she could even utter the four words "Do you dislike me?", Ouyang Yan choked up and couldn't continue.
Zhou Zhenghua sighed helplessly and said quickly: "No, it's nothing. I just feel sorry for you."
He put his arm around her shoulders again, wiped her tears and discussed with her:
"You're really too tired. Why don't you ask for leave from school and rest at home until the baby is born?"
He said half-seriously, "Don't be angry if I tell you the truth. You're not as delicate and pretty as you used to be, but I know it's all because you're pregnant with our child. I especially understand your sensitivity and low self-esteem right now, so I want you to rest more and put your school work aside for the time being, okay?"
His eyes were filled with heartache and seriousness, making Ouyang Yan forget why she suddenly got angry.
Zhou Zhenghua: "Although you don't dress up anymore, in my eyes you are still that playful and fashionable girl."
Ouyang Yan felt warm in her heart and couldn't help asking curiously, "Who do you think is prettier, me or Gao Qinghe?"
Zhou Zhenghua lowered his eyes and helped her straighten her collar. "She's only pretty on the outside, but you're beautiful in spirit."
Yes, Gao Qinghe just has a good appearance!
It seems that thinking this way can offset the resentment of not getting what you want.
......
"A-choo~"
Gao Qinghe felt an itch on the tip of his nose and sneezed lightly.
Jiang Baohai looked over immediately and asked, "Who missed you again?"
Without waiting for Gao Qinghe to glare, he helplessly reminded: "Close the window, be careful not to catch a cold."
Gao Qinghe rolled down the car window until only a crack remained to keep the air inside the car fresh, otherwise he would feel dizzy from the smell of gasoline.
"What a crappy car! Can't you just buy one with automatic lift and air conditioning?"
Jiang Baohai laughed, "Look at what the guy who's walking on two legs is saying."
Others are content with just a bicycle, but who is like her, who doesn't even feel uncomfortable sitting in a car?
Gao Qinghe looked at the person beside him suspiciously, "Jiang Baohai, why do I feel like there's something else behind your words?"
"Jiang Baohai——"
He deliberately imitated the tone she used to call him and chuckled, "You've seen your old lover, and you don't even want to call me husband anymore?"
Gao Qinghe: What should I do if I suddenly feel like biting someone?!
