Ji Xiuran stood up reluctantly, picked up the phone and answered the call.
"explain!"
Xie Yu on the other side of the phone was stunned for a moment, and then said tremblingly: 'Mr. Ji, Chen Manxue asked me to see my wife!'
When Ji Xiuran heard this, he turned and glanced at Zhao Ningchu, "I understand, I will arrange it!"
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Zhao Ningchu looked at her and Ji Xiuran's face was not very good, and couldn't help but worry a little: "What's wrong? Did something happen to the company again?"
Ji Xiuran shook his head: 'No!'
"It's not the company's business, why are you looking so sad?"
"Chen Manxue said she wanted to see you."
Zhao Ningchu frowned slightly when he heard this.
"She wants to see me? Why do she want to see me?"
"It's not clear yet. If you don't want to see her, we won't."
Zhao Ningchu shook his head: "No, I want to see what she wants to do?"
"I'm worried that she'll go crazy and hurt you."
"Aren't you with me?"
"Then we'll go back when we get back."
Zhao Ningchu nodded: "Let's go back tomorrow!"
Ji Xiuran knew that because of Zhao Zhenguo's incident, Zhao Ningchu definitely had no intention of staying here.
…
The next morning, Zhao Ningchu suggested that he should go home first because he had something to do and let others play here.
Gu Ran also went back with her.
Zhao Ningchu asked Ji Xiuran to take Gu Ran home first. Unexpectedly, after arriving at Gu Ran's apartment, Xiaobai clamored to spend a few days at Gu Ran's house.
Zhao Ningchu looked surprised: "How come you suddenly thought of playing at Aunt Gu Ran's house?"
Xiaobai pouted: "I always eat dog food when I go home!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Ran laughed out loud and reached out to Xiaobai: "Take it away, just stay at my house for a few days, and then ask your father to pick you up."
Xiaobai nodded slightly and turned to look at Ji Xiuran sitting in the cab: "Dad, please come pick me up in a few days. I will be very obedient."
Zhao Ningchu said with a serious face: "Baby, your Aunt Gu Ran is pregnant now and can't take care of you."
"I can take care of myself."
"No, you go back with us, and my aunt will take care of you then."
Xiaobai shook his head: "No!"
"You're disobedient, aren't you?"
Xiaobai lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Gu Ran, who was standing at the door of the car, said: 'Okay, just let him stay with me for a few days. Don't worry, nothing will happen.'
"I'm worried that he's naughty. You're now over seven months old, and you'll have to take care of the little one by then."
"Don't worry, don't think of me as so pretentious."
Xiaobai looked at Zhao Ningchu pitifully: "Mommy, I will be good."
Zhao Ningchu breathed out a heavy breath, and then said: 'Then you must be obedient and don't make trouble with your Aunt Gu Ran. She is pregnant with the baby now, do you understand?'
'I know.'
Ji Xiuran, who had been silent all this time, answered: "Okay, Xiaobai is still very good!
Zhao Ningchu rolled her eyes at him: "Shut up, I think you are eager to do so."
Ji Xiuran:......
Well, whatever you say is wrong, it’s better to be a transparent person.
On the way back, Zhao Ningchu was worried that Xiaobai would make trouble with Gu Ran. Ji Xiuran glanced at her through the rearview mirror and then asked, "Can I speak?"
Zhao Ningchu was stunned for a moment: "You said what you said, who didn't let you say it?"
"Didn't you just tell me to shut up?"
'When did you become so obedient?'
Ji Xiuran said while driving: "I have always been obedient."
Zhao Ningchu said: "You are so poor."
"Aren't you still worried about your own son? He is much more sensible than you."
When Zhao Ningchu heard this, she raised her eyes and stared at him: "What did you say?"
"I said our son is very sensible and won't get into trouble, so don't worry."
"Of course I know he is very sensible."
"Then what are you worried about?"
Zhao Ningchu said gloomily: "Okay!"
After returning home, Zhao Ningchu lay directly on the sofa in the living room with Ge You.
"So tired."
We have only been out for a day and the journey is not far, but Zhao Ningchu feels extremely tired."
Ji Xiuran took off his coat and hung it on the hanger in the entrance. Then he walked over to Zhao Ningchu and sat down next to him.
Zhao Ningchu rested her head on his lap and looked at him: "I originally wanted to play for a few more days to give my aunt a holiday, but now I'm back early."
"What are you afraid of when I'm here?"
After saying that, he stretched out his hand to tidy up the broken hair on her forehead, and said softly: "Are your feet tired? You have been riding in the car for an hour."
Zhao Ningchu shook his head slightly: "I'm not tired. I'm riding in a car and not walking. It's just that I'm a month old now, so my body feels a little bulky and my feet seem a little swollen."
"Let me take a look."
Zhao Ningchu lifted her feet and Ji Xiuran took a look. Her ankles were swollen to the point of being invisible, and she felt a little distressed.
"Wasn't it so swollen last night when you slept?"
Zhao Ningchu put her feet down and shook her head slightly: "I don't know, husband, if the swelling continues tomorrow, I won't even be able to put on my shoes."
"Would you like to soak your feet? It will be more comfortable."
Zhao Ningchu shook his head: "No, when will we go find Chen Manxue?"
"How can Xie Yu handle this matter? He will notify me when it is done!"
"I don't know what Chen Manxue wants to tell me."
"No matter what she says, don't let her influence your emotions. You are still pregnant with the child, do you understand?"
"Don't worry, I know."
"What do you want to eat for lunch? Can you make it for me?"
Because Auntie was on holiday, Ji Xiuran could only cook in person.
Zhao Ningchu thought for a while: "Is seafood okay?"
"No, it's too cold. When you give birth, I'll buy you as much food as you want."
Zhao Ningchu pouted: 'Then you still ask me.'
Ji Xiuran smiled helplessly: "Aren't I trying to win your opinion?"
"Then now I said, I want to eat seafood."
When he said this, Zhao Ningchu looked at Ji Xiuran with an aggrieved look. When Ji Xiuran didn't speak, he continued: "Look at how swollen your wife is. She is so uncomfortable that you don't even let her eat some seafood. You
Can you bear it?"
Ji Xiuran said helplessly, "Okay, I'll cook it for you, but you can only eat a little."
When Zhao Ningchu heard this, she immediately burst out laughing: "I knew my husband loved me the most."
Ji Xiuran reached out and pinched Zhao Ningchu's cheek, and said helplessly: "You know your husband now?"
Zhao Ningchu chuckled: 'Of course I know, my husband has always been very good.'
After saying that, he sat up and looked at Ji Xiuran: "Go quickly, your daughter is hungry."
"I think you are hungry."
"Hey, go ahead, it's time to show off your cooking skills to your daughter today."
"Wait!"
Zhao Ningchu was leaning on the sofa watching a variety show. She heard sounds coming from the kitchen from time to time. She looked up and saw Ji Xiuran wearing an apron and making lunch for herself.
Sometimes when she had a bad appetite, Ji Xiuran would cook herself and open a small stove for herself.
Thinking of this, Zhao Ningchu felt as sweet as honey.
"Ji Xiuran!"
She spoke to Ji Xiuran's back.
Ji Xiuran turned to look at her and smiled: "What? You don't call me husband now?"
"Husband!"
Ji Xiuran looked at her funny and threatened: 'If you don't clean up for three days, you will gain courage, right?'
Zhao Ningchu pouted: "You asked me to shout!"
"I didn't let you shout one more word."
"Then let me, let me shout again."
Ji Xiuran glanced at her with a knowing look, then turned around and continued to work on the sea cucumber in his hand.
As soon as he prepared a sea cucumber, Zhao Ningchu's soft voice came from the living room.
‘Father-in-law~’
When Ji Xiuran heard this, he turned around and threatened: "Believe it or not, I will deal with you now."
Zhao Ningchu grinned: "Are you angry?"
Ji Xiuran ignored her this time and concentrated on being his own housewife.
Zhao Ningchu put the remote control aside, stood up and walked towards the kitchen step by step. She reached out and pulled Ji Xiuran's shirt.
"Really angry?"
"Don't interrupt my cooking."
Zhao Ningchu raised an eyebrow and glanced at the sea cucumber in his hand: "Are you going to eat sea cucumber today?"
Ji Xiuran hummed expressionlessly.
Zhao Ningchu joked: "Sea cucumber and oysters are a man's gas station. If you eat them, do you have a place to vent?"
Ji Xiuran frowned slightly and turned to look at her: "Are you trying to figure out why I can't do anything to you now?"
Zhao Ningchu nodded with a funny look on his face, and then pointed to his bulging belly: "Daughter, you'd better not come out. Your father will bully me as soon as he comes out."
Ji Xiuran said with a serious face: "Don't talk nonsense!"
"Isn't that what you said just now? Wait for your daughter to come out so you can take care of yourself."
Ji Xiuran looked at his wife's unreasonable appearance, sighed helplessly, and then reached out to hold her in his arms.
"Obviously you bullied me, how come I bully you?"
After saying that, he rubbed his cheek against her neck.
Zhao Ningchu was a little itchy by him, so she stretched out her hand to push his head away: "It's so itchy, don't touch me."
"I'll just rub it."
Zhao Ningchu's cheeks couldn't help but turn red when he heard these words of tiger and wolf.
What is a rub?
Zhao Ningchu reached out and rubbed Ji Xiuran's hands: "Can you speak properly? People may misunderstand you."
Ji Xiuran let go of her, looked at her crimson cheeks, and said with a funny look on his face: 'You are the one who got it wrong!'
Zhao Ningchu didn't dare to look into Ji Xiuran's eyes and quickly turned her face to the side.
"It's all your fault."
"How is it my fault?"
Ji Xiuran held the person in his arms and asked softly.
"I wasn't like this before. If you hadn't been teasing me, I wouldn't have..."
After saying this, Zhao Ningchu felt a little ashamed and couldn't go on.
She didn't know if other people would be like her after getting married. As long as Ji Xiuran was by her side, she couldn't help but want to get close to him and long for him.
Ji Xiuran smiled: "Ah Chu, I am just like you."
Zhao Ningchu raised his eyes and looked at her: "What?"
Ji Xiuran looked at her slightly red lips, lowered his head and kissed her. This kiss was not comfortable for Zhao Ningchu, because Ji Xiuran hugged her from behind, so she had to turn her head to meet her.
His neck was inevitably a little uncomfortable, but even so, Zhao Ningchu did not push away, but responded to Ji Xiuran's kiss with his eyes closed, feeling his hot body temperature.
Ji Xiuran let go, and when the two of them were no longer panting, he said, "Do you feel it? I am the same as you, I have a strong desire for you."
Zhao Ningchu's cheeks turned red immediately, and she quickly broke away from Ji Xiuran's arms.
"I, I went to watch TV."
After saying that, he quickly walked towards the living room.
Ji Xiuran couldn't help but smile when he saw his little daughter-in-law's shy appearance.
He lowered his head, looked at himself helplessly and sighed.
How long will I continue to be a monk?
Because Zhao Ningchu was getting older and older, Ji Xiuran felt sorry for Zhao Ningchu when she saw her pregnant belly every day, so the two of them had not been intimate for a long time, and the most they had was kissing.
Zhao Ningchu was sitting on the sofa, her cheeks were still hot. She reached out to cover her cheeks, thinking about what Ji Xiuran said just now, and subconsciously looked towards the kitchen.
"Ji Xiuran!"
She spoke softly.
Ji Xiuran turned to look at her: "What's wrong?"
Zhao Ningchu blushed and said, "Then do you feel uncomfortable when you miss me?"
Ji Xiuran raised his lips and smiled: "Yes, so you have to make it up to me."
"Just wait until the baby is born."
After Zhao Ningchu said this, she suddenly felt a little ashamed. She lowered her eyes and did not dare to look at Ji Xiuran.
Although they are already an old married couple, they still can't change their tendency to be shy. They won't be like this in front of other people, only Ji Xiuran.
Ji Xiuran said with a smile: 'Little pervert!'
Zhao Ningchu curled her lips and retorted: "It's about food and sex!"
"Yes, yes, everything you said is right."
During lunch, Ji Xiuran received a call from Xie Yu, saying that the matter had been taken care of, and asked when Ji Xiuran would be free and he would come and take him to the mental hospital.
Zhao Ningchu sat aside and heard the voice coming from Ji Xiuran's cell phone. After Ji Xiuran hung up the phone, she couldn't wait to say: "Go over now."
'Eat the sea cucumber on the plate first, aren't you thinking about eating seafood?'
"Don't eat too much. Your stomach will hurt if you eat too much."
'Big eyes and small belly.'
"You eat it."
"I've already eaten two, you can eat the rest."
'You want me to burst a blood vessel and die?'
"It's not as exaggerated as you said. This isn't antler and deer blood."
"Didn't you just say it's a gas station for men?"
Zhao Ningchu rolled her eyes at him: 'You're just kidding, just eat it.'
After saying that, he pushed the remaining sea cucumber in front of him and picked up the chopsticks to eat the fish.
…
In the afternoon, when the two arrived at the mental hospital, it was already past two o'clock. Because Ji Xiuran had arranged in advance, the dean personally came to receive him and took him to the door of Chen Manxue's ward.
Zhao Ningchu saw Chen Manxue for the first time since Zhao Zhenguo's birthday, looking at the people inside through the glass of the ward.
Chen Manxue was originally born as a commoner, and because she hooked up with Zhao Zhenguo, she slowly climbed up the ranks from a commoner. However, even after spending more than ten years in a wealthy family, the stock market philistine in her bones can never be erased.
Especially now, after being locked up here for such a long time, she was treated in an inhumane way both mentally and physically, which made her think she was really mentally ill and made her even more violent.
Zhao Ningchu whispered: "Can I go in?"
The dean reminded from the side: "The patient's mental state is not normal, I'm worried..."
"But I can't talk to her at the door like this."
"Mrs. Ji, if you want to talk to her face to face, you need to wait a moment."
Zhao Ningchu nodded.
The dean looked at the nurse behind him and ordered: "Take Mrs. Ji and Mr. Ji to the lounge, and then call Dr. Wu over."
