Chapter 16 Xie Meilan is pregnant
"Why are you here?" Shang Fuxian spoke almost at the same time as him.
"I live here!"
"Ah? What a coincidence, isn't it? I live here too! Why haven't I seen you before?" Shang Fuxian couldn't help but smile, his eyes full of surprise.
She originally thought that it was just a chance encounter with Shen Lei. Although she also had Shen Lei's WeChat, she was too reserved to take the initiative to send a message. So even though she picked up her phone and clicked on Shen Lei's WeChat many times, she still didn't send a message.
Unexpectedly, when she got off work today, she would meet him at the gate of the community. Moreover, they lived in the same community. If Shen Lei had not been in front of her and there were so many people around, she would probably have jumped for joy.
The same was true for Shen Lei. He had opened Shang Fuxian's WeChat chat box many times, but he didn't say hello because he had just divorced. Now that he met him at his doorstep, his heart began to pound.
How could he know that Shang Fuxian did live here originally, and Na Wei rented a house here because of what Lu Hao said, in order to create opportunities for them. This community is not big, and even if they don't meet today, they will run into each other after a while.
"I just moved here a few days ago." Shen Lei looked at Shang Fuxian and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Shang Fuxian said openly, "So that's how it is. Then you must not know what delicious food is nearby, right? Didn't you like eating Spanish mackerel dumplings last time? There happens to be a small shop nearby that makes good ones. Come on, I'll take you there to eat!"
"Isn't it a bit too troublesome?" Shen Lei was actually already tempted.
"It's okay. I haven't eaten yet anyway. We can have a meal together and chat at the same time! See it? It's that store. It's just two steps away!" Shang Fuxian raised his hand and pointed to a small store a hundred meters away.
It would be inappropriate for Shen Lei to refuse after hearing what he said. "Okay, go order the food first, I'll come over after I park the car!"
He quickly rode his bike into the community and parked it, then walked quickly into the restaurant, fearing that Shang Fuxian would have to wait too long.
"Here, here!" As soon as he entered, he saw Shang Fuxian waving at him, and he hurried over and sat down opposite him.
After ordering the food, the two of them started eating while talking and laughing. Both sides felt inexplicably happy. After eating, they took a walk together for a while before returning to the community, and then they found that they were still living in the front and back rows.
After returning home, the two of them lay on the bed and grinned for a long time. Even on the next day, they were still happy about yesterday's reunion.
In this way, the two of them first talked when they met occasionally in the community, went to a small shop near the community to eat together, and then began to chat on WeChat. Sometimes Shang Fuxian would take the initiative to ask him if he wanted to have dinner together in the evening before getting off work.
On weekends, Shang Fuxian would invite him to see some exhibitions that they were both interested in. There were many such activities in Beijing. After going together a few times, even if Shen Lei was slow, he should have understood that Shang Fuxian had a good impression of him.
At this time Shen Lei became hesitant because he was a divorced man. If Shang Fuxian minded these things, wouldn't it delay others?
He was reluctant to part with Shang Fuxian, but he was even more unwilling to deceive her. After thinking for a few days, Shen Lei made up his mind. He asked Shang Fuxian to go to the Shandong restaurant to eat Spanish mackerel dumplings. While eating dumplings, he talked about the reason why he went to Shandong and brought up the fact that he was divorced.
At first, Shang Fuxian was indeed stunned, and his eyes were obviously dimmed, which made Shen Lei feel distressed.
She couldn't help but ask Shen Lei about the reason for his divorce. Shen Lei didn't put all the blame on Xie Meilan, but just said that he had no ability and couldn't provide Xie Meilan with better living conditions.
As she listened, Shang Fuxian's frown slowly relaxed. She could clearly feel that what Shen Lei said was true. Even if there were some things he didn't mention, he didn't want to say bad things about others behind their backs.
If the divorce was caused by Shen Lei's character problems, she would definitely cut off contact between the two of them, but now even if Shen Lei deliberately defended her, she still felt that it was Xie Meilan's fault for their divorce.
In this case, there is no need to worry too much, and even a strong sense of pity surged up. What did Shen Lei do wrong? Why should he endure such grievances? After this incident, the relationship between the two not only did not become distant, but became closer. Shang Fuxian heard that he used to be responsible for cooking at home, so he clamored to try Shen Lei's cooking skills, and was very satisfied after tasting it.
From then on, Shang Fuxian would ask Shen Lei if she wanted to eat something every few days, then she would buy the food and go to Shen Lei's house to ask him to cook. Occasionally, she would try to cook it herself, but she did not cook as often as Shen Lei, and the taste was average.
But she would take note of Shen Lei's advice, go back and try it slowly by herself, and the next time she comes to cook this dish, it will taste much better! After dinner, the two of them washed the pot and washed the dishes together, poured a glass of wine, and found a movie that they were both interested in to watch. Neither of them talked much while watching the movie, but they felt particularly warm.
After watching the movie, they chatted for a while about their opinions on the movie, then sent Shang Fuxian to the door of the apartment building. Then he went back home, washed up and lay on the bed. Shen Lei couldn't help thinking that this was his ideal life.
The two of them made rapid progress, and Xie Meilan and Lu Jie were not slow either. Lu Jie continued to carry out his plan according to the earliest plan.
The previous experience of drinking tea had caused some minor troubles for his plan, but as long as the money was in place and the temptation was big enough, there would always be people willing to take the bait. These days, Lu Jie simply put the company's affairs aside and flew around the country, meeting all kinds of people and looking for suitable targets for his plan.
Lu Jie started to get busy, so he naturally spent less time with Xie Meilan, which made Xie Meilan even more worried. She seized every opportunity to increase her sense of security, which made Lu Jie a little scared when he saw her.
He is already in his forties. Even if he takes good care of himself, he cannot withstand the fierce assault. What's more, Xie Meilan is not good-looking, so she has no appeal to him who has seen a lot.
But in order to appease Xie Meilan and let her be the legal person of the company at ease, Lu Jie had to endure it! Well, for the sake of money, just barely get through this period! When the money comes in the future, I will kick her out as soon as possible! Xie Meilan's hard work was not in vain. On this day, she saw the long-awaited two bars on the hidden pregnancy test stick, and the same was true the next day.
It happened that Lu Jie went out of town these few days, so she quickly found a hospital far away from the company and Lu Jie's home for a check-up. The doctor told her that she was indeed pregnant, but because she had had a miscarriage before, there was a certain impact and she had to be carefully taken care of.
If she has a miscarriage this time, it will be difficult for her to get pregnant again in the future.
Xie Meilan wrote down everything, and when she came out of the hospital and took out her cell phone, she wanted to tell Lu Jie the good news, but she came to her senses as soon as she opened her phone.
No, we can't let him know now!
