Chapter 17 Aren’t We Married?
But I don't want a thank you...
Xu Mo hurriedly went into the bathroom in her pajamas to take a shower. As the hot water poured out and the steam filled the entire bathroom, this sentence was still in her mind.
Why would Lin Jingchuan say this?
If you don’t want thanks, then what do you want?
With her eyelashes drooping, Xu Mo applied the transparent shower gel with rose scent on her shoulders.
-
There were some things that were not dealt with during the day, so Lin Jingchuan sat at the head of the bed to deal with his work.
His hair had not dried yet, and beneath the slightly damp strands of hair on his forehead, his pair of noble eyes were slightly lowered, and his bony fingers rested on the touchpad and keyboard.
The region submitted several plans for next year's products and sales strategies. Some plans were too radical, trying to seize the market at the expense of completely sacrificing profits, while others were very conservative, giving up sales in favor of reducing costs.
Lin Jingchuan looked at them one by one and gave some suggestions.
When I turned off the computer, I saw Xu Mo coming out of the bathroom.
Since the other party didn't talk to him, he didn't talk to Xu Mo either.
She pursed her lips and put the computer back on the bedside table.
But the moment he turned around, warm and moist fingers grasped his wrist.
Lin Jingchuan could feel his heart weightless for a moment, but he soon realized what Xu Mo wanted to do.
The moment he turned his head, two soft lips with a faint fragrance covered his lips.
Lin Jingchuan was pushed against the corner by her, with a bedside table between him and the wall.
"Haven't you blow-dried your hair yet?" The wetness on her black hair made Xu Mo raise her eyes, and there was still moisture on her eyelashes.
Lin Jingchuan looked at her, wanting to see clearly what was in her eyes.
How could someone be so unfamiliar to me yesterday that I would rather fall off the bed than stick to him?
Today I can take the initiative to kiss his lips, and kiss him for such a long time.
"I didn't blow dry my hair." Lin Jingchuan stopped her warm wrist, "But have you been drinking?"
"Where did the wine come from? It's a bit sudden." The woman's vine-like arms climbed up his neck, and the faint scent of rose shower gel filled his face. "But aren't we husband and wife?"
She thought for a while while taking a shower, perhaps knowing what Lin Jingchuan wanted.
They're already married, we can't let him stay a widow forever.
This is understandable.
So she stood on tiptoe to kiss him. Her pajamas also rose up, revealing a small part of her waist, which was white and soft.
Lin Jingchuan pressed his fingers on the skin, and he leaned close to her hair, smelling her intoxicating fragrance. His voice was slightly lowered: "Of course."
He knew she was still a stranger to him, but sex was also part of love, so he could start with sex.
Slowly erase all traces of that person.
Without hesitation, Lin Jingchuan picked the man up by the waist.
Xu Mo didn’t remember how many times they did it, but she felt that Lin Jingchuan had a strong sense of service during sex and her experience was very comfortable.
Before getting married, he asked her if she had any plans to have children, but Xu Mo flatly rejected it.
"No, I don't plan on having kids for now," she replied, then realized she'd been too decisive. After all, Lin Jingchuan was a mature, 31-year-old man, already worldly successful. Perhaps he'd need to raise children, so she added, "If you have different ideas, we can still change our minds now."
Lin Jingchuan didn't say at the time that his thoughts were the same as hers, but he didn't oppose her ideas either.
Xu Mo understood that he must have accepted her request.
So this time, without her reminder, Lin Jingchuan took the initiative to take measures.
The phone seemed to ring several times during the conversation, and Xu Mo wanted to reach for the phone on the bedside table.
Being stopped by Lin Jingchuan, he hugged her tightly, bit her ear and asked: "You still want to answer the phone at this time? Pay attention, Momo."
It was the first time Xu Mo heard him call her by her nickname.
She bit her lips that were moist and red from being kissed, then put down her phone and let him do whatever he wanted.
Before she fell into a deep sleep, Xu Mo heard Lin Jingchuan's somewhat distant voice: "Where do you want to go for New Year's Day?"
Xu Mo replied weakly, "I'll do as you say."
-
Zhao Tingyu never thought that one day he would not be able to find Xu Mo in this city.
After leaving her company, he went to Xu Mo's house.
Wait from noon to afternoon, and from afternoon to night.
He didn't wait for her to come home.
He stood in the cold wind, the wind brushing against his dry and cold fingers. He looked at the road she had to take to get home, and an idea slowly crept into his mind, gnawing at his heart like an ant.
She might not really come home.
It was dark and the streetlights on the corner were on. He stood beside the car, smoking, squinting at the tenth floor where she was.
The lights were always off.
On the same floor as Xu Mo lives an elderly woman who helps her daughter take care of her children. She has the habit of taking a walk after dinner every day.
While taking a walk that day, I saw Zhao Tingyu waiting downstairs. I smiled and greeted him, "Xiao Zhao? Looking for Xiao Xu again?"
Zhao Tingyu: "Well, do you know where she is?"
The old man said, "She moved away! Didn't you know?"
"A few days ago, she packed out several huge boxes and even took the cat with her..."
The old man said something else, but Zhao Tingyu didn't listen anymore. He just stood there with a grim face until the old man left.
Moving? Moving to that man's place?
Zhao Tingyu took out his cell phone and called Xu Mo again.
Still no one answered.
Zhao Tingyu put out his cigarette in the trash can and suddenly took out his cell phone.
A gloomy look flashed across the cold and numb face.
With a "pop".
The man threw the phone onto the cold concrete floor, and the screen shattered into pieces.
-
Xu Shiying went out shopping with her boyfriend in the evening. She took a day off on Christmas Day and had fun with her boyfriend in a large amusement park for the whole day. She was a little tired, so she simply took two more days off.
Her job is easy. Although it is not on the payroll, it is similar to being in the system. As long as you are content with being ordinary and do not seek to improve yourself, then as long as you don't make mistakes, you can do it for life, so it is easy for her to take leave.
Xu Shiying was hanging out with her boyfriend downstairs when she was startled by a figure that suddenly came over.
"Zhao Tingyu?!" Xu Shiying was frightened and touched her chest with her eyes wide open. "Why are you here?"
Zhao Tingyu stood with his back to the light, his hands in his pockets, his entire face hidden in the shadows. His dark eyes stared straight at her and went straight to the point.
"Where is Xu Mo?"
Xu Shiying was stunned for a moment, and the fragments of memory connected this moment with the information Xu Mo had told her in the past. She soon understood that Zhao Tingyu appeared downstairs of her house because he couldn't find Xu Mo, so he came to her.
But Xu Mo was married, so of course she needed to move out and live with her husband.
Zhao Tingyu naturally couldn’t find it.
"Why are you looking for Xu Mo?" Xu Shiying calmed herself down and straightened her white, furry, eco-friendly fur coat. "Didn't you break up?"
Zhao Tingyu didn't admit it, but just stared at her: "You were roommates in college, and after graduation you stayed in Guangzhou to work together. You are closer than sisters. She is closest to you and will tell you everything. You must know where she is."
Xu Shiying raised her eyebrows. In fact, she and Zhao Tingyu did not have much interaction. They had only met a few times. She knew her home address only because she had visited her house to look for Xu Mo one time.
Unexpectedly, although Zhao Tingyu usually seems indifferent to Xu Mo, he is actually very clear about her social circle.
But what's the use? It's too late.
"Last time, Momo and I were playing in the park, and Liao Haizhou called her away, saying you jumped into the river. She rushed over with genuine emotion, only to discover it was all a prank. Honestly, it really made her very sad," Xu Shiying said slowly. "Later, she told me she'd broken up with you."
Xu Shiying glanced at the man's increasingly tense face and helplessly spread her hands: "I think Momo probably doesn't want to see you again."
Zhao Tingyu was silent for a while: "Is she married?"
Xu Shiying raised her eyebrows: "You know?"
Zhao Tingyu's face became gloomier and gloomier. From Xu Shiying's subconscious reaction, he completely realized that Xu Mo's marriage was true.
He closed his eyes and clenched his teeth, Xu Mo, how could you? How dare you?
"Why?"
"Go ask her," Xu Shiying said. "Mr. Zhao, you've come to me now. Are you reluctant to part with our Momo? What's the matter? You didn't like her much when you were together, but now that we've broken up, you suddenly realize how good she is?"
"Oh no, not after the breakup, but after she got married." Xu Shiying deliberately provoked him. Seeing Zhao Tingyu's fists clenching tighter and tighter, she smiled with schadenfreude. "Mr. Zhao, how did you know Momo got married? Speaking of which, you lived with her for a year during your senior year of high school, so you're kind of her half-brother. As her brother, you should at least give a donation to Momo's wedding, right?"
“…”
Zhao Tingyu's expression grew increasingly gloomy, and when he heard the last sentence, his fists clenched until they made a crackling sound.
Xu Shiying's boyfriend Yuan Zhao noticed that Zhao Tingyu's emotions seemed to be on the verge of breaking down, so he stepped aside to block Xu Shiying.
Xu Shiying was satisfied with her scolding and happily hugged her boyfriend's arm: "Let's go, upstairs."
Yuan Zhao hugged her waist and kissed her on the ear: "Okay, let's go home."
Xu Shiying ignored Zhao Tingyu and went upstairs with Yuan Zhao. Although she pretended to be calm and indifferent on the surface, her gossipy heart had already been suppressed for a long time.
As soon as she got home and changed her shoes, Xu Shiying sent a WeChat message to Xu Mo: [Momo! Guess who I just saw downstairs!]
【I saw Zhao Tingyu! 】
