Chapter 1058 The first New Year’s Eve, Shen Man appears
December 31, 2020, night!
Today is the last day of the year. Because Li Muzi couldn't sleep, Zhou Chen simply hugged her and sat on the lounge chair in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the bedroom, looking at the starry sky outside.
"It's so beautiful, husband. This is our first New Year's Eve together. No, we also have our baby. I'm so happy."
Li Muzi looked happy, while Zhou Chen cursed He Fei in his heart again.
He Fei and Li Muzi realized that Zhou Chen had traveled through time, and they spent two New Year's Eves together, but they never spent New Year's Eve with Li Muzi.
The first time was when the two had not yet established a relationship. With Li Muzi's character, it was naturally impossible for him to spend New Year's Eve with He Fei. On the second New Year's Day, they were already married, but He Fei went out to gamble under the pretext of that day.
I can’t spend the New Year’s Eve with Li Muzi.
That's why Li Muzi is so happy tonight because Zhou Chen has been with her. Although her husband has changed dramatically since the wedding anniversary, today is different after all.
Zhou Chen said softly: "Today is the first time, but in the future we will spend New Year's Eve together every year, we are a family."
"It's such a wonderful family." Li Muzi leaned into Zhou Chen's arms with a bright smile.
As it gradually approached twelve o'clock, countless fireworks exploded in the sky. Although the regulations prohibited fireworks and firecrackers, it still couldn't ban everyone. Even in their neighborhood, many people set off fireworks on this New Year's Eve.
Zhou Chen accompanied Li Muzi to watch the fireworks and counted down the time. The excited Li Muzi didn't fall asleep until after one o'clock. He fell asleep in Zhou Chen's arms. Finally, Zhou Chen carried her to the bed.
January 10th!
Li Muzi had a big belly and kept trying on clothes. Zhou Chen was not in a hurry and waited quietly.
"Husband, what do you think of this set?"
After struggling to change into another set of clothes, Li Muzi began to ask Zhou Chen for his opinion again.
Zhou Chen kept nodding and praising: "It looks good. My wife looks good in anything she wears."
Li Muzi rolled his eyes coquettishly: "Really, I can't give you any advice. I look good in whatever I wear. How do I choose?"
"I'm telling the truth. You look good no matter what you wear. Do you still want me to lie against my conscience?"
"You are so sweet, but today is different. Manman and I haven't seen each other for a long time. I have to dress beautifully to let her know that I am doing well."
Shen Man's status in Li Muzi's mind was different. Before marrying He Fei, he was the most important person to her besides her parents.
"Okay, then wear this."
Zhou Chen took out one of the large-sized pure white long down jackets. Now because Li Muzi has a big belly, he has to buy the largest size when he wears clothes. Sometimes he can't buy it, so they specially find someone to customize a few sets.
It doesn't matter if you have floor heating at home, but when you go out, you need to dress warmly.
Li Muzi took one look and decided to wear the outfit chosen by Zhou Chen. She knew that Zhou Chen preferred her to wear white clothes. In Zhou Chen's words, when she wore white clothes, she had a fairy-like beauty.
With Zhou Chen's help, she put on her clothes and slowly turned around in front of Zhou Chen.
"Does it look good?"
"nice."
"Then let's set off."
Zhou Chen carefully supported her. Li Muzi was due to give birth in about two weeks. It was not an exaggeration to say that she was a giant panda, so she had to be careful about everything.
The driver drove, and Zhou Chen and Li Muzi sat in the back seat. After arriving at the airport, Zhou Chen asked Li Muzi to wait in the car, and he went to the airport exit hall to wait alone.
This time, Li Muzi was not forced to follow. There were many people coming and going at the airport. She had a big belly and had difficulty moving, so she stayed quietly in the parking lot and waited.
Zhou Chen was waiting at the exit, holding a sign in his hand with a painting on it, which was the wing pattern Li Muzi designed for the wound on Shen Man's chest.
When he heard that Shen Man's plane had landed, he began to stare at the exit. He had already seen Shen Man's photo from Li Muzi, and he would recognize it as long as it appeared in front of him.
A few minutes later, Zhou Chen saw a woman wearing a jacket and dragging a suitcase out. He recognized Shen Man at a glance, so he raised the sign in his hand.
Shen Man walked out of the station and looked around. Before getting on the plane, she had called Muzi Li and knew that Muzi Li would come to pick her up, so she was looking for him.
Soon she saw a familiar pattern, then her eyes fell on Zhou Chen, and she recognized Zhou Chen as Li Muzi's husband.
Although she didn't see Li Muzi, she still dragged her suitcase towards Zhou Chen.
"Hello, I am Li Muzi's husband. It's our first time meeting you. Nice to meet you."
"Hello, my name is Shen Man, and I am Muzi's best friend."
Shen Man is indeed a very beautiful woman, slightly shorter than Li Muzi, but as she walks, her eyebrows are filled with a kind of wanton publicity, and she is not shy at all.
At a glance, you can tell that she is the kind of passionate, resolute, capable and refreshing woman, which is completely different from Li Muzi's temperament.
"Where's Muzi? Didn't she say she was coming too?"
"Here we come, but she has difficulty moving now. The airport is crowded with people and I'm afraid she'll be too excited, so I asked her to wait in the parking lot. Miss Shen, give me your luggage and I'll take you there."
Shen Man smiled and said, "Thank you." Then she handed the suitcase to Zhou Chen and asked Zhou Chen to take her pick-up sign.
"Is this painted by Muzi?"
Zhou Chen took the suitcase and led the way. Hearing this, he replied: "No, Muzi showed me the photo and guided me to draw it."
"Yeah?"
Shen Man looked surprised and followed Zhou Chen's footsteps: "I heard Muzi say that you are learning painting from her. I didn't expect that you are quite talented, and your painting style is so similar to Muzi."
Although she has no talent for painting, she and Li Muzi are sisters and know Li Muzi's painting style and brushstrokes very well. When she saw the pattern just now, she really thought it was painted by Li Muzi, but she didn't expect that it was actually painted by Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen said with a smile: "I learned from her. I imitate her in every aspect, so my painting style naturally follows hers."
"Too."
Shen Man nodded and asked again: "Muzi is fine now, right? I heard she said the due date is coming soon. Have all the examinations been done?"
"It's very good. Everything that needs to be checked has been checked. Both adults and children are healthy and everything is going well."
"That's good, that's good."
A few minutes later, Zhou Chen and Shen Man arrived at the parking lot and saw Li Muzi standing in front of the car from a distance.
Shen Man threw the thing in his hand directly to Zhou Chen, and like a nimble rabbit, he ran out and went straight to Li Muzi.
"Muzi."
"Manman."
The two women were extremely excited when they met again, but Shen Man still understood the importance. He stopped in front of Li Muzi, and then hugged Li Muzi gently.
"Muzi, I miss you so much. I dream about you all the time."
"Manman, I miss you too. It's so nice and happy to see you again."
The two girls hugged each other and talked to each other. Their eyes were red and tears could not help but flow down.
Zhou Chen did not disturb the meeting between their girlfriends, put all the luggage in the trunk, and then stood aside and watched quietly, waiting.
The two women who finally met each other seemed to have endless things to say, and as if there was nothing else in their eyes, they just talked to each other.
Several minutes passed before Li Muzi got tired of standing and held his waist, which made Shen Man wake up. Zhou Chen had already walked over in time.
"Muzi, get in the car first, you two sit in the back seat and talk slowly."
Li Muzi nodded at Zhou Chen, and then let Shen Man help her get into the car, while Zhou Chen sat in the passenger seat.
After getting in the car, Li Muzi and Shen Man's voices became quieter. Maybe it was because their excitement had slowly calmed down, or maybe because there were still the driver and Zhou Chen in the car.
Zhou Chen saw that after they got into the car, their hands were held together without separation. He thought to himself that it was lucky that they were women. If two men held their hands together like this, he would feel cold just thinking about it.
After returning to the villa, Shen Man helped Li Muzi away. Zhou Chen felt that he had completely turned into a ruthless tool.
After entering the house, Zhou Chen didn't bother them to reminisce about old times, and ran to the balcony to lie down and play with his mobile phone.
Muzi Li and Shen Man were curled up and chatting on the sofa in the hall. The nanny would bring some fruits and snacks from time to time. Muzi Li ate less, but Shen Man never stopped talking.
Until night, Li Muzi said to Zhou Chen: "Husband, Manman just came back today. I want to sleep with her, is that okay?"
"Of course, but I'm not with you, can you do it tonight?"
"It's okay, Manman will take care of me, she takes good care of me."
"Yeah?"
Zhou Chen expressed doubts.
"Of course, when we were abroad, we all slept in the same room. No one knew her better than me."
"Okay, I'll sleep in the room next to you. If anything happens at night, just call me."
"good husband."
After several months, Zhou Chen finally had a rare opportunity to sleep alone, but lying on the bed, he suddenly felt empty.
In the master bedroom, Li Muzi and Shen Man, who had washed up, were leaning against the bedside, talking with their heads on each other.
"Manman, do you really want to spend the New Year with me this time?"
"Well, I have already made arrangements there. I have been very free recently. It depends on my mood when I want to go back. It will definitely be no problem to celebrate the New Year together. Speaking of which, I haven't celebrated the New Year with you in two years. I really miss us. Days abroad.”
"Yes, although there are many bad things abroad, as long as you are here, everything will be good."
Thinking of life abroad, Li Muzi missed it very much. She first saved Shen Man who wanted to commit suicide, but in the days that followed, Shen Man also gave her countless care. They took care of each other and relied on each other.
"So, I felt very boring during the two years you were away. Although the crew members are all very good, they are still incomparable to you."
Shen Man held Muzi Li's arm with a satisfied look on his face. He glanced at Muzi Li's big belly and suddenly smiled.
"It's your belly that gives me a little trouble."
"You are laughing at me, be careful not to recognize you as my godmother when my baby is born."
"That won't work. I've decided to be my godmother. It's useless for anyone to object." Shen Man declared with a domineering look.
"Do you still remember the day you returned to China? I really didn't expect that more than two years had passed in the blink of an eye, and the beautiful Li Muzi would have turned into a pregnant woman. Time and fate are really elusive."
Li Muzi also said with emotion: "Yes, fate is so magical, no one knows what will happen in the future."
Shen Man smiled and said: "But this is good, because I can see that your smile is very happy. I have also seen He Fei. According to my judgment, a director with many years of experience in rehearsing dramas, he is better than I thought." Young Master, judging from his behavior, he doesn't look like an ordinary person, but has a different temperament. Anyway, I can't see through him."
Li Muzi found it funny: "You just met him for the first time, how can you see through him?"
"Well, to tell you the truth, I didn't have a good impression of him before. It wasn't until you had a baby that I saw the changes in you, and then I slowly changed my opinion. After meeting today, I feel pretty good. He is really He cares about you very much, and you can see it in every move he makes."
Thinking of Zhou Chen picking up food for Li Muzi at the dinner table, taking her for a walk after dinner, helping to make the bed and giving her gentle instructions, etc., one can see Zhou Chen's attentiveness.
Li Muzi unconsciously showed a happy expression: "Since he stopped gambling, he has indeed changed a lot. He is very good to me and depends on me for everything. He may be even better than my parents. Really. That’s how I feel.”
Hearing about his gambling son, Shen Man asked with a serious face: "Muzi, is he really not gambling now?"
"I really don't want to bet anymore. We are together every day. No one understands me better." Li Muzi answered with certainty.
Shen Man was relieved: "That's good. As long as he doesn't gamble, even if he doesn't do anything, with your little rich wife's net worth, you can live a good life for the rest of your life, as long as he can always treat you well."
Li Muzi said firmly: "I believe he will be good to me all his life. Really, as long as I see him, I firmly believe this."
"I'm really happy to see you happy."
Shen Man's eyes were red. She was the person in the world who wanted Muzi Muzi to be happy the most, but for some reason, she still felt a little uncomfortable, as if the most important thing had been taken away.
Li Muzi was also very moved: "I am very happy now, Manman, and I also hope you can be happy. We all need to live happily."
"Well, we will all be happy. It would be great if we could see each other at any time like before. Muzi, haven't you ever thought about living abroad?" Shen Man said and suddenly asked this question.
"go abroad?"
Li Muzi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "We don't have this idea. In our plan, we just live in the Magic City."
Shen Man was a little disappointed: "Whether it's domestic or not, domestic development has been very good in recent years. Maybe I will return to China to join you in the future. You can't ignore me then."
"That's impossible. Even if you want to make a movie, I will fully support you. As long as I have it, I can give it to you."
Shen Man hugged Li Muzi tightly: "I knew you were the best to me. You are so good that I can't bear to leave you."
"Ouch."
Li Muzi suddenly shouted, which startled Shen Man and made him sit up nervously.
"What happened?"
Li Muzi put his hand on his stomach and said with a smile: "It's nothing, the little thing kicked me, it really hurts."
Shen Man was confused. It took him a while to react, and he looked at Muzi Li's big belly with a mysterious expression.
"Is it so powerful? It feels so interesting."
Women who have never been pregnant will never understand the feeling of pregnancy, let alone empathize with it.
Li Muzi said: "I have been tormented by him a lot in the past few months. Even though he is young, he is very energetic when he moves. Sometimes he has a bad temper and keeps kicking me. He is not obedient at all."
After saying this, Shen Man became even more interested. He carefully lay on Li Muzi's belly, listened with his ears raised, and spoke in a low voice, for fear of shocking the baby.
