Chapter 193 I Know I Was Wrong
Zhou Yanchuan couldn't bear to look at that aggrieved expression, so he followed her.
"Xiao Jiu, I can—"
With a "smack," the door in front of him was slammed shut.
Zhou Yanchuan stood there for two seconds, then reached out to push the door open.
There was no sign of the girl behind the door.
How can you run so fast when you're pregnant?
Just as he was about to go find her, he happened to run into Aunt Lin, who appeared from the room.
The woman was visibly startled when she saw him, then delighted: "Sir, you've come!"
"Um."
"You've finally arrived. My wife has been absent-minded these past few days; she's probably thinking about you."
"Have you not seen your wife yet? Go and see her. She'll be so happy to know you're here."
Seeing the delighted woman, Zhou Yanchuan smiled helplessly.
They promised two days, but dragged it out for a whole week. It's only because he's good-natured that he runs away when he sees me, without uttering a word of abuse.
"Aunt Lin, I have some pastries that Xiao Jiu likes to eat in my box. Please take them out."
"Okay, sure."
After Zhou Yanchuan finished speaking, he walked towards the girl's bedroom.
Inside the room, Wen Jiu stood by the window, gazing at the bare persimmon tree in the yard, on which was the small sign she had hung up yesterday, written in calligraphy: "May all your wishes come true."
"Not at all satisfactory," she muttered, her eyes stinging with tears.
Just then, there was a knock on the door behind me.
A voice called out "Xiao Jiu".
The two words made her eyelashes tremble slightly.
Wen Jiu sobbed for a moment, then remained still.
As dawn broke, the guests at the guesthouse gradually emerged from their rooms.
When they saw the figure standing in front of the door at the end of the corridor, their expressions changed more or less.
The fact that it happened at this time suggests that the passenger took a flight in the middle of the night.
That usually noble and handsome face now showed a rare hint of weariness and world-weariness.
A few strands of hair, ruffled by the wind, hadn't been combed yet, and her sharply tailored black coat had a few small wrinkles at the hem.
It felt like I rushed here as soon as I got off the plane, and the feeling of being on the go hadn't even dissipated yet.
When Lu Nian saw the man standing at the door, his face suddenly turned pale.
"Boss, you're not—"
He was interrupted by the man's sweeping gaze before he could finish speaking.
Lu Nian's eyes were filled with undisguised concern. He lowered his voice and said, "Xu Qian said it's quite serious. We can take care of Madam here. Why did you come?"
Zhou Yanchuan didn't answer, but instead asked, "Has anything happened to her these past few days?"
Seeing that the person was completely ignoring what he was saying, Lu Nian sighed helplessly and honestly reported, "Madam was fine a few days ago, but her morning sickness has gotten worse these past two days. She didn't eat anything yesterday."
Zhou Yanchuan frowned, his eyes filled with obvious heartache.
“But you,” Lu Nian wanted to ask, are you alright? How can someone who just woke up from a car accident immediately take a plane and run around like that?
However, before he could speak, he was stopped by a look from someone.
Lu Nian now understood that although his boss seemed to love his wife very much, he actually cherished her even more behind her back.
He didn't mention the car accident again, but instead asked, "Why didn't you go in and check on your wife?"
"I'd like to go in."
Lu Nian was stunned for a moment before realizing that he had been locked out. He felt both amused and heartbroken.
I rushed over despite my injuries, but instead of offering comfort or care, I was turned away at the door.
Wen Jiu opened the door half an hour later.
As soon as the door opened, the man standing guard at the entrance was seen.
She ignored him and walked straight out.
Zhou Yanchuan followed her and explained, "Something happened at the company a few days ago, so it was delayed."
People ignored him.
He added, "I know I was wrong."
Still ignoring it.
"Xiao Jiu".
Wen Jiu stopped walking forward, turned around, and looked up at him.
When he met the girl's broken gaze, Zhou Yanchuan felt a pang of pain in his heart and reached out to stroke her face: "Okay, okay, I won't say anything more."
Wen Jiu sniffed and went to the dining table.
Lin Meng happened to see this scene when she went out. She stood there stunned for a while before she came to her senses.
She didn't know how much she liked it, but when their eyes met, the tenderness in her eyes was almost overflowing.
No wonder her deskmate told her, "I'm just angry, it's not that I don't like him."
Wen Jiu walked to the dining table, and her expression subtly changed when she saw the pastries placed in the middle of the table.
Seeing her staring at the plate, Aunt Lin explained, "Madam, these are pastries that the master brought for you."
"I don't want to eat this, take it away."
"Huh?" Aunt Lin was clearly surprised and looked to the man behind her for help.
Zhou Yanchuan pulled out chairs for the people at the table: "You really don't want to eat?"
Wen Jiu remained silent.
“You’re angry with me, but you can’t treat yourself badly,” he said, picking up a small piece with his fork. “Try it, and if you don’t like it, take it away.”
Wen Jiu looked up at him.
His eyes were gentle as he gestured to the pastries in his hand.
Wen Jiu didn't move. After a few seconds, she used a skewer to cut off a small piece.
Zhou Yanchuan smiled and put the pastry back.
"Lu Nian said the baby has been bothering you again these past few days?"
"What does this have to do with you?"
"What do you mean by 'what's the connection'?"
Wen Jiu didn't reply to him, but instead made another small piece of pastry.
Zhou Yanchuan's gaze softened as he watched her chew and swallow. He then reached for a water glass and placed it beside her, saying softly, "Zhou Qiyong has found an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor. His flight is tonight. When he arrives, we'll see if he can alleviate your symptoms."
Lin Meng watched the two people from a distance, and for a moment, she didn't want to go forward, afraid of disturbing them.
The two girls who came out of the room saw her standing by the sofa and were about to ask, "Why aren't you going to eat?"
Then she saw the man at the dining table, and her gaze changed instantly.
"He came to see his wife!"
"Um."
"Sister Mengmeng, is he really that person?"
Hearing the girl's cautious question, Lin Meng smiled and said, "That face isn't recognizable yet?"
“Yes,” the two college-graduate girls had never seen a man like this before. When they looked at Zhou Yanchuan, their faces were red and their voices were low. “It’s just a little hard to believe, and he’s even more handsome in person than in the reports.”
When Zhou Yanchuan first came here, the two were sitting in the courtyard brewing tea. They were stunned when they saw him.
Anyone who surfs has seen the grand wedding online.
They bought an island to hold the wedding, attracting celebrities from all walks of life in the northern city. The bride's wedding dress alone was worth tens of millions.
They truly became the online sensation.
The two never imagined that they would see a man of such high status and his lover in such a small courtyard.
"Is Sister Jiu Jiu really a prosecutor?"
"Of course."
Lin Meng's tone was full of pride.
The girls couldn't help but exclaim, "That's amazing!"
