Early the next morning, Mu Chenxi went downstairs on time.
"Mrs."
Auntie choked up as soon as she spoke.
After not seeing each other for a while, when she saw Mu Chenxi again, all she could say was shock.
How come you are so thin?
When Mu Chenxi heard a familiar voice and saw her aunt coming back, she didn't have much emotional reaction. She just said hello lightly, "Auntie."
"Madam, auntie made you a lot of your favorite breakfast, you..."
Really too thin.
She needs to take good care of her wife.
Without Fu Yanshen's signal, the aunt stepped forward and took Mu Chenxi's hand.
The moment she held it, Auntie's eyes turned red.
Very cold.
It's obviously spring and the weather is getting warmer, but my wife's hands are still so cold, like ice cubes.
"Auntie, you don't have to cook three meals a day for me. I won't eat here."
Mu Chenxi gently interrupted her aunt's words and gently shook her hand. This was her way of expressing her happiness after seeing her.
"I'm going to work first."
After saying that, he withdrew his hand, turned around and walked towards the entrance.
Her heart has gradually withered in this painful marriage.
She wanted to live towards the sun and struggled hard to support herself and survive.
She told herself that as long as people are alive, there is still hope.
However, her efforts were still unable to withstand the speed of her heart dying.
Struggling to death.
I don't know how long I can hold on.
The door opens, the door closes.
This sentence cut off the connection between her and Yuejing Xiyuan, and also tore Fu Yanshen's heart.
He was sitting in the most conspicuous position on the sofa, and Mu Chenxi could see him as soon as he went downstairs.
However, she didn't even give him a glance, let alone a straight look.
In his eyes, the place that is irreplaceable and dear to his heart has become a temporary place in Chen Xi's eyes.
"Sir, I'll leave first."
The aunt took off her apron and was about to leave. The wife's words just now made it very clear that she didn't need her to take care of her.
But the husband asked her to come back just to take care of his wife.
She also agreed to come back because she wanted to come back to take care of her wife.
"No, just stay."
Just stay, there will be one more person in the family that she wants to see.
Maybe, she will be a little happier when she comes back.
Even if it's just a little more.
Fu Yanshen got up from the sofa, walked to the dining table and sat down. The table was full of Chen Xi's favorite food.
His eyes fell on where Mu Chenxi usually sat.
It's been empty there for a long, long time.
It's been a long time since they sat down to eat together.
The breakfast in your mouth is only bitter.
…
Mu Chenxi's lifestyle has not changed much since her aunt came back.
She is still busy.
Even if I talk when I get home, it's just a few words with my aunt.
She and Fu Yanshen still only had a physical entanglement.
Beyond that, the two of them look more and more like strangers.
She is becoming more and more like a pool of stagnant water.
In a flash, another half month passed.
After the salary arrived, Mu Chenxi invited Lu Jingxing to dinner on a night when there was no class.
She still owes him a meal.
After get off work, Lu Jingxing drove Mu Chenxi to have dinner.
When they arrived at the place, Lu Jingxing parked the car, took off his seat belt and got out of the car. When he found that Mu Chenxi hadn't moved, he joked: "Why, you regretted it temporarily and don't want to treat me to dinner?"
Mu Chenxi looked at Lu Jingxing helplessly, "Lu Jingxing, change places."
How could he be someone who eats at a roadside stall?
She is his secretary, so she naturally knows where he usually socializes or his favorite restaurants.
"Why change it? Didn't you say you let me choose at will?"
Lu Jingxing opened the door and got out of the car.
Seeing this, Mu Chenxi could only get out of the car.
When he really walked in, he stepped forward and grabbed the hem of his clothes to stop him, "Lu Jingxing, you really don't have to save money for me..."
"Tell you a secret."
Lu Jingxing suddenly lowered his voice and sounded mysterious.
"What?"
Mu Chenxi was so influenced by him that she also lowered her voice.
"Lu Jingxing had a nickname before he became President Lu."
"What nickname?"
Mu Chenxi was successfully brought in by him, and there was a slight fluctuation in his eyes that had always been too calm. It was curiosity.
"The little prince of the night market."
Mu Chenxi: "..."
I believe you as a ghost!
What serious nonsense!
"Come on, you should be kind today and take Lu Jingxing to liberate his nature. As Mr. Lu, he has to carry it in and out of high-end places every day. He is almost suffocated."
While talking, Lu Jingxing had already walked inside.
Mu Chenxi was still holding the hem of his clothes and was led two steps inside.
She let go of her hand and watched Lu Jingxing, wearing expensive brand names, walking through the smoky and noisy alley.
He picked a barbecue stall, found a seat, turned to look at her, "What are you doing standing there in a daze? Come on."
Mu Chenxi could only stride forward.
"Lu Jingxing, wait."
When he is about to sit down, take away the paper on one side and wipe the oil stains on the table and chair for him first.
"What are you doing? It's not that particular."
Lu Jingxing grabbed her arm and sat down directly.
He took off his suit jacket and laid it casually on the chair, unbuttoned his cufflinks, and rolled up his shirt cuffs.
The waiter came over and put a greasy menu on the table, "What do you two want to eat?"
"Just order whatever you want."
Mu Chenxi pushed the menu in front of Lu Jingxing.
Lu Jingxing was shocked when he saw the menu, his pupils showing no trace.
What is this?
But after the words were released, he still reached out and picked them up.
His eyes swept over.
He knew all the words, but he really didn't know what a string was.
On the face he looked as calm as an old dog, but on the inside he was completely confused.
Covered by the menu, I quietly scanned the barbecue grill not far away with my peripheral vision, trying to see what the difference was between a bunch and a portion.
Mu Chenxi was scalding the tableware with boiling water when she noticed Lu Jingxing's small movements.
While pushing the tableware over, she reached out and took the menu.
Without the obstruction of the menu, Lu Jingxing's eyes met Mu Chenxi's.
She glanced at him and turned back to the menu, because she was his secretary and knew his preferences very well.
Avoiding what he didn't want to eat, he quickly ordered two portions and ordered two bottles of beer.
After the waiter left, Mu Chenxi's eyes returned to Lu Jingxing's calm face, and suddenly he teased with unclear meaning, "Little prince of the night market?"
"cough--"
Lu Jingxing, who was drinking water to cover up his status as a novice at the night market, almost spit out a mouthful of water and choked until his face turned red.
Mu Chenxi reluctantly handed him a tissue.
Soon, the barbecue was served.
Lu Jingxing reached out and picked up a skewer of beef, took a bite, and his eyes lit up, "It tastes very good."
Everything was revealed, and he no longer tried to hide that he had never eaten at a roadside stall.
The first bite was really amazing.
Seeing that he really didn't dislike him, Mu Chenxi felt relieved.
He took the opened beer, poured it for the two of them, picked up the glass, and clinked it against his glass.
Lu Jingxing knew Mu Chenxi's drinking capacity and did not stop her from drinking beer.
The two of them were enjoying the evening breeze, drinking beer, and eating barbecue.
After eating, Mu Chenxi got up and went in to pay the bill. Lu Jingxing knew her attitude towards money, so he didn't rush to pay. He glanced at the milk tea shop not far away and said to her, "I'm going to buy a pack of cigarettes."
"good."
After Mu Chenxi paid the bill, she walked out and prepared to wait at the door for Lu Jingxing to come back.
Suddenly, a small figure broke into her sight.
On his head was a small furry blue hat with a small fur ball on the back of the hat.
With her staggering steps, the little fur ball swayed behind his head.
He walked towards her, getting closer and closer.
This scene that had appeared countless times in her mind and dreams when she was pregnant with her baby and after she lost her baby, now truly reappeared before her eyes.
Mu Chenxi's vision suddenly became blurry. Looking at the baby walking towards her, she couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality.
Just as the baby was getting closer and closer to her, he was babbling: "Mom——"
At that moment, Mu Chenxi's long-suppressed emotions suddenly collapsed.
In a daze, the little figure in front of her seemed to be her baby. Her baby was still there, already born, right in front of her eyes.
She suddenly rushed over quickly, knelt on the ground on one knee, and hugged tightly the small body only one meter away from her, "Baby——"
