Chapter 90: Holding Her in His Arms
Qing Muxue felt extremely sad when she saw her good friend suffering and sad.
Am I wrong?
In fact, she didn't know.
She is not Zhao Jiaying, and she cannot empathize with her either in terms of experience or choice.
All she could do was accompany him silently.
The air was quiet and heavy.
Later, footsteps were heard.
Two figures came out from inside.
One is Zhao Jiaying’s mother, Lv Mingxia.
There is also a particularly beautiful and noble...
"Aunt, you're here?" Zhao Jiaying quickly sat up, surprised and respectful.
Is this the wife of Zhao Jiaying’s second uncle, the one called Lan Qiuling?
Although Qing Muxue has been friends with Zhao Jiaying for many years and has often seen Zhao Jiaying's parents, this is the first time she has met this aunt.
Of course, I've heard of her name before. She's the minister's wife!
A very capable and beautiful minister’s wife!
Qing Muxue stared at the noble lady in front of her, and exclaimed in her heart countless times.
She has seen many beautiful women, but this is the first time she has seen a beauty of this age!
This is probably what it means to be stunningly beautiful and radiant.
Whether it's facial features, temperament, or aura, she's simply overwhelming. Even when Zhao Jiaying stands next to someone, she's immediately outshined.
"Axue is here too. Long time no see. You are still as beautiful as ever." Lu Mingxia's words interrupted Qing Muxue's distraction.
Qing Muxue also hurriedly said politely, "Hello, auntie, hello!"
"Hello! I've heard Yingying mention you before. You are Yingying's best friend." Lan Qiuling responded with a smile, but with her own nobility.
Then, she turned her gaze to Zhao Jiaying and asked about Yun Che and when they would get married.
"We have an appointment for dinner the day after tomorrow. Let's see what her father thinks then," said Lu Mingxia.
"Ache is indeed outstanding. Your second uncle has also praised him. I envy you every time!"
"Haha, you love Yingying so much and treat her like your own daughter. Now that Yingying is married to Ache, Second Uncle also wants to be Ache's father-in-law!" Lu Mingxia flattered.
"Let's just say this here. Who knows if uncle will be jealous!" Lan Qiuling smiled.
"No, no! He'll be so happy to have another person to help him look after Che!"
"Yingying, wait for your good news. Although you are not my biological child, I will prepare a generous gift for you when the time comes!"
"Thank you, Auntie!"
"I'm going back first, you guys should get some rest early too!"
After Lan Qiuling left, Lu Mingxia formally greeted Qing Muxue. Qing Muxue told her not to be polite, and after a while, she and Zhao Jiaying went into Zhao Jiaying's bedroom.
"Yingying, how old is your aunt?" Qing Muxue asked curiously while taking off her coat.
"I think I'll be 48 in a few months." Zhao Jiaying replied.
"48? Oh my god, it looks just like 25!"
"Of course, she is naturally beautiful and takes good care of herself. What's so strange about that!" "By the way, Yingying, I wonder if you have noticed that you look a bit like your aunt." Qing Muxue suddenly said.
"Really?" Zhao Jiaying actually knew about this situation, and she felt that this was also the reason why her aunt loved her so much.
Qing Muxue said to herself, "Yes! She looks like you even more than your mother does. Hey, people who don't know her would think she is your mother! By the way, does your aunt have a daughter?"
"Only one son! However, I heard that there was a daughter, but it seems not to be the case."
"What do you mean? If I gave birth to it, then it's not mine."
"Anyway, I never saw it when I was little. I just heard my grandmother reciting it once. She was so sick and confused at the time that she told my second uncle that it was all her fault for losing her granddaughter. She cried so hard that everyone said that my grandmother had misremembered it."
"How strange!" Qing Muxue also found it magical. However, since the old lady was sick, it was not surprising that she was mentally confused!
So, Qing Muxue didn't dwell on this matter and continued, "Actually, it's okay if she doesn't have a daughter. I think she likes you very much. It would be great if she could treat you like her own daughter in the future."
Zhao Jiaying smiled slightly. It was indeed very good. She did not mean to dislike her mother. Her mother's kindness was incomparable to that of outsiders. Her mother had her own strengths, but she really could not compare with her aunt. If her aunt treated her as her own daughter and took her to more circles in the future, it would naturally be a great help to her, and to Yun Che as well.
But when she thought of Yun Che, Zhao Jiaying's heart suddenly sank again.
At this moment, Yun Che had also returned to his residence.
The room was quiet.
But there was still a light on at the entrance.
This situation only occurred after Su Xiao moved in.
In the past, whenever he came home late at night after a social event, she would leave a light on for him. He was a little uncomfortable at first, but he also felt a sense of warmth.
And today, I feel inexplicably at peace.
He changed his shoes and walked into the bedroom.
On the big bed, there was her curled up figure.
Lie on your side with one hand gently placed on your abdomen.
Yun Che first watched quietly for a few seconds, then walked forward and stopped beside the bed.
Su Xiao was sleeping soundly, unconscious.
Yun Che stood for a while, then went to take a shower. After washing, he went to bed and finally saw her face.
Her fair and beautiful little face was no different from usual, except that her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, indicating that she was not sleeping very soundly.
Yun Che couldn't help but think of her abnormal behavior of calling him to come back at night. Although he thought she was unreasonable at that time, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty at this moment. So he reached out his hand, gently stroked her face, and held her in his arms.
Su Xiao woke up suddenly. When she saw him, she was stunned at first and it took her a while to realize what was happening.
“Did you have a normal meal tonight? Did you eat out or cook at home?” Yun Che asked calmly.
Su Xiao continued to stare blankly without saying a word.
After running out of the house on impulse, she ran to the garden downstairs in one breath. The cold wind woke her up. She sat on the bench in the garden for a while, then walked around the garden. When she was tired, she came back here, cleaned up the spilled food one by one, and then cooked a bowl of noodles again.
Under normal circumstances, she would definitely not eat, but now she is pregnant, she has to take care of the baby and cannot let the baby go hungry. Even if she has no appetite, she has to force herself to fill her stomach.
“If you have something to say to me, why not say it now?” Yun Che spoke again.
The voice is so gentle.
Even though she had witnessed his gentleness and felt his care before, especially when they did that kind of thing, the affection and fire in his eyes seemed to melt her.
This is also why she felt that her relationship with him was different, and she once thought that she had a certain position in his heart and that he loved her!
However……
Su Xiao was filled with bitterness and even felt a deep sense of mockery. She felt that she was too stupid and naive, overestimating her own abilities and having wishful thinking!
"I'm sorry, that client is a big client of the company, and I can't leave halfway." Yun Che explained, hoping to soothe the resentment in her heart with this white lie.
Just like Xiao Zhenbo said, he really broke many exceptions for her.
Although he doted on her and tried his best to make her happy and satisfied in many things, he had never formally told her what their relationship was.
Therefore, there was no need for him to explain anything to her, but he still explained it, even if it was just a lie. He felt sorry for her pitiful appearance and even felt a little pity for her.
However, he had no idea that his white lie was like a sharp knife stabbing Su Xiao's heart, causing blood to flow and the wound that had not yet healed to be torn open again.
