Zhu Tingyue felt it, but the project at hand was at a critical juncture and she couldn't be distracted now.
As time goes by, Chen Yanqiu's due date is approaching.
At this time, Zhu Tingyue went abroad on a business trip.
Shen Yanqiu, who hadn't contacted her for a long time, suppressed all his emotions and called her.
At times like this, he hoped Zhu Tingyue could be with him.
But the phone rang several times and still no one answered.
Chen Yanqiu hung up the phone, blocked Zhu Tingyue without saying a word, followed Zhu's mother's arrangement, and was admitted to the hospital.
When Zhu Tingyue saw the missed call, she immediately called back. When she heard the mechanical female voice, her heart sank instantly.
She asked her assistant to book the earliest flight back home and rushed back without stopping.
I was extremely anxious along the way, afraid that I would miss such an important moment.
In the ward, Chen Yanqiu was eating at the request of Zhu's mother.
He had been in a low mood during this period of time, and even Zhu Mingchuan could see it.
He doesn’t have a good appetite either. He used to be able to eat a bowl of rice, but now he only takes two bites and puts it down.
Zhu's mother was anxious and comforted him: "Yanqiu, I know Yueyue is not well. She is busy with work and neglected you. But your body is your own, you can't not eat!"
"Come on, listen to mom and eat these. If you can't eat more, try some. We won't compete with her!"
Chen Yanqiu felt sour in his heart, and the feeling of being ignored by Zhu Tingyue suddenly came up again.
He stretched out his slightly trembling hand and slowly took the bowl full of food from Zhu's mother.
The steam rising from the bowl blurred his vision, but he still tried hard to bring it steadily to his mouth.
However, just as the mouthful of rice was about to enter his mouth, he suddenly stopped.
At this moment, his eye sockets seemed to be impacted by an invisible force and gradually turned red.
Tears welled up in my eyes, as if they would burst out at any moment.
This scene happened to be seen by Zhu Tingyue who walked into the room.
Zhu Tingyue looked at the scene in front of her in surprise, only to see Chen Yanqiu sitting there quietly with a blush in the corners of his eyes.
The corners of his mouth, which were often smiling, now drooped weakly, revealing a deep sense of grievance and helplessness.
This kind of expression was something Zhu Tingyue had never seen on Shen Yanqiu's face, and it made her heart tremble.
Ignoring her mother's condemning gaze, she quickly stepped forward, took the bowl from Shen Yanqiu's hand and tried to feed him, but he turned his head away.
Zhu Tingyue knew she was in the wrong and patiently coaxed him: "Yanqiu, it's my fault. I shouldn't have ignored you for work. I apologize to you, can you have a bite?"
Chen Yanqiu didn't look back, nor did he make any movement, letting her talk non-stop.
Zhu Tingyue didn't dare to move his shoulder, so she had to go around to the other side and sit opposite him.
Seeing this, Chen Yanqiu was about to turn around, but Zhu Tingyue quickly grabbed his hand and said sincerely, "Yanqiu, I was wrong, please don't ignore me! It's my fault, you have to be angry, but even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the child! Eat a little more, okay?"
Chen Yanqiu raised his eyes and gave Zhu Tingyue his first look since he entered the door. It was cold and without any emotion, which made Zhu Tingyue feel extremely unfamiliar.
"go out!"
Zhu Tingyue sat still. If she went out now, she would never be able to come back in again.
Chen Yanqiu is going to hate himself!
Zhu Tingyue rested her head gently on Shen Yanqiu's belly and held his hand tightly.
Time passed by minute by minute, and Shen Yanqiu didn't say anything else.
Zhu Tingyue raised her head again, her eyes inadvertently falling on Chen Yanqiu's face.
However, at this moment, she was shocked to find that in Chen Yanqiu's eyes, which were as deep as a pool of water, there were actually sparkling crystal tears, and the tears slid down his cheeks like pearls that had broken off the string.
Seeing this scene, Zhu Tingyue panicked instantly and stood there as if he had been struck by lightning.
Then, an indescribable panic surged into her heart, and her hands began to tremble uncontrollably.
After a moment, she came back to her senses as if awakened from a dream, and hurriedly stretched out her right hand, trying to wipe away the tears that kept flowing down Shen Yanqiu's face.
However, because she was too nervous and anxious, Zhu Tingyue's movements seemed clumsy and funny.
She lowered her eyes, her gaze focused on the sparkling tears on the back of her hand, and finally the tears fell, her Adam's apple unconsciously rolled up and down, as if silently swallowing the bitterness.
"Yan Qiu, don't cry, I was wrong, really! From now on, I will be by your side and I won't go anywhere! Really!"
The promise she made in a panic did not successfully stop Shen Yanqiu's tears. His tears continued to flow, and more and more.
Chen Yanqiu's body trembled slightly, and tears flowed from his eyes like a flood.
He clenched his teeth, trying not to let the tears escape his throat, but the silent sobs were even more heartbreaking.
Crystal tears slid down her pale cheeks and dripped onto the ground. It seemed that one could hear the light yet heavy sound.
Zhu Tingyue, who was standing aside, looked at him with eyes full of concern and heartache. Seeing him so heartbroken, her heart felt as if it was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and she was in so much pain that she couldn't breathe.
At this moment, Zhu Tingyue's words of comfort were so pale and powerless. She could only stand there silently, conveying her care and warmth with her eyes.
After a long time, Chen Yanqiu was tired of crying and fell asleep leaning on Zhu Tingyue's shoulder with his eyes closed.
Zhu Tingyue carefully wiped away his tears with a tissue, her heart filled with regret.
Mom, please come in and see what you don’t understand after seeing this scene.
She said to Zhu Tingyue earnestly: "Yueyue, I know you are ambitious, which is a good thing, but you can't ignore the people around you for the sake of work."
"What on earth can make you miss three meals a day, four seasons, and a person who loves you?"
Zhu Tingyue looked at Chen Yanqiu's sleeping face and murmured, "Mom, I know, nothing can make me miss these, the people I love the most and who love me the most are by my side, I will cherish them in the future!"
Mother Zhu knew very well how difficult it was for Shen Yanqiu, and repeatedly told Zhu Tingyue: "Yanqiu is in this situation now, he is sensitive and thoughtful. You are not by his side, so don't blame him for being angry."
"I advised you before, but you didn't take it seriously. Now that you've experienced it, do you understand?"
"Yueyue, your father was right. Life is not just about love, but also about tolerance and companionship."
"I have lived with your father for 20 to 30 years. We have had our share of arguments, but our relationship remains as strong as ever. This is based not only on love, but also on the sacrifices we have made."
"Now that Yanqiu has endured the pain of pregnancy and childbirth, you have to take on other aspects of life."
