Lu Xining stayed with Meng Wanyang for two days. In addition to protecting the pregnancy, they also kept each other company. There was sadness, but life had to go on.
Meng Wanyang was still busy commuting to get off work every day. She waited until the condition of the fetus was stable, then moved back to her rental house. Then she remembered that she left directly from the Civil Affairs Bureau on the day of the divorce, and many things were still left in the Jin family's old house.
Although it had been packed before, there were still some small things left over from the few days we lived there. Nothing else. The necklace her mother left for her was still in the Jin family's old house. She had broken it last time and didn't have time to repair it.
Lin Qingyue is in hospital now, and Jin Shaoheng doesn't have time now. What if he remembers to clean up the things in the room and throws them away one day?
But I thought that if I went to get it, if I met Jin Shaoheng...
On the day of the divorce, she had exhausted all her courage, so Lu Xining was not ready to say goodbye at all. After much hesitation, she chose a time period when she thought he would never show up and took a taxi there.
"Young mistress!"
Mother Zhuang was busy in the yard, so she was surprised and happy to see Lu Xining.
Lu Xining was also very happy, but still reminded: "Mother Zhuang, you can't shout like that in the future."
"That's what I'm going to shout. You are the only daughter-in-law that my wife recognizes." Zhuang Ma said stubbornly, still uneasy about their divorce.
Lu Xining smiled bitterly. They all knew the fact in their hearts that the argument was meaningless.
"Look at me, young lady, come into the house." Zhuang's mother was just happy, and then she came back to her senses and pulled her towards the villa.
"Mother Zhuang, I came here today because I want to pack my things." Lu Xining explained the purpose of his visit.
Zhuang's mother understood what she meant. She wanted to have a complete break with the Jin family. Her expression dimmed suddenly and asked, "Young mistress, can't you just clean it up? If you miss me in the future... you can come and stay for a few days."
In fact, she still hasn't figured it out. She and Jin Shaoheng were both fine when Zhang Tingyu was about to die, so why did they change so quickly?
Lu Xining saw the sadness and reluctance in her eyes, as if he saw the disappointed look in her mother-in-law Zhang Tingyu's eyes. She felt that her heart, which had finally calmed down in the past, began to feel painful and sad again.
She even felt that she shouldn't have come this time, and she began to regret it. But now that she was here, she could only bite the bullet and get things done.
She couldn't run away because she knew she didn't have the courage to do it again.
"Mother Zhuang, you know it's impossible." This sentence seemed to be told to her, but also to herself.
Mother Zhuang also knew in her heart that Lu Xining never had the initiative, and she didn't want to make things difficult for her anymore. She secretly wiped her tears and said, "I know, young mistress."
The two of them walked into the house in silence, and Zhuang's mother said: "Young lady, the things are all in their original places. I... didn't let them move at all."
"Thank you." Lu Xining said this and hurriedly went upstairs.
Passing by the door of Zhang Tingyu's bedroom, although she was eager in her heart, she didn't dare to go in because of guilt, and went directly to the bedroom where she and Jin Shaoheng lived before.
Sure enough, as Zhuang's mother said, the inside was exactly the same as before she left, and even the skin care products she used were placed in their original places.
However, in just a few days, looking at these again, I have a complicated feeling in my heart.
Lu Xining was afraid that he would fall into a low mood again, so he quickly walked to the bedside table on one side, found a jewelry box from the drawer below, opened it and took a look at the broken necklace still lying quietly inside.
She closed the box and put it into her bag. When she was about to leave, the sound of a car engine suddenly came from outside.
Her mother-in-law Zhang Tingyu has passed away, so it stands to reason that no one should come here again. Lu Xining walked to the window in confusion, only to find that it was Jin Shaoheng who had returned.
Shouldn't he be at work at this time? I'm really afraid of what will happen.
Lu Xining felt slightly panicked and hurried out, but when she reached the door she found that he had already gone up the stairs. With nowhere to hide, she had to retreat to the bedroom.
Lu Xining, calm down! Calm down!
You are just divorced, and there is no grudge against your father. When you meet later, just say hello politely and explain that you will come back to pick up the things.
She kept comforting herself in her heart and doing psychological construction for herself over and over again, but when she heard the door being pushed open, she still hid in the closet.
There was the sound of the door opening and closing outside, and the sound of the man's footsteps, and she could feel Jin Shaoheng getting closer and closer to her.
Mother Zhuang probably didn't tell him she was here, right?
Lu Xining only belatedly thought of this problem at this time, but it was obviously too late, so he had no choice but to continue hiding like an ostrich.
She knew she was worthless like this, but she just wanted to hide away for a little longer.
There was a rustling sound outside. She looked through the gap and saw that Jin Shaoheng had taken off his coat, revealing his muscular upper body.
Seeing his hand reaching for his belt, Lu Xining subconsciously covered his eyes. After waiting for a long time, he slowly opened his hand and found that he had changed into pajamas and was lying on the bed.
Sleeping in broad daylight? And isn't he a germophobe? Why didn't he take a shower first? That way she could sneak out.
Maybe he was too tired. Lin Qingyue was seriously injured in the hospital. You can imagine that he must be very tired after taking care of him day and night...
The space was silent for a few seconds, and then Jin Shaoheng's cell phone rang again.
"Qingyue?" She heard Jin Shaoheng shout.
"Shaoheng, have I disturbed you? I'm sorry, I'm just a little scared...I..." The other end was saying something intermittently, and Lu Xining couldn't hear it clearly. All he knew was that he was acting coquettishly.
"It's okay, I'll be right over." Jin Shaoheng soothed and stood up.
According to his habit, he would not wear the clothes he took off again, but would go straight to the closet...
