Chapter 116 I will wait for you no matter how late it is
After dinner, Chen Xiaonian and Tang Guo went to the game city. The two played for a long time and won many prizes. When Chen Xiaonian returned home, she originally thought that Lin Qi would arrive home first, but when she opened the door, she only saw the figure of the cooking aunt.
I looked at my phone and saw that it was already seven o'clock. I should be off work at this time!
"Aunt Li, hasn't Mr. come back yet?"
"Young Madam, you are back."
Aunt Li walked out of the kitchen and wiped her hands on her apron and said, "Mr. called me at six o'clock and said he had to work overtime tonight and asked me to come over and cook for you."
"oh."
When Chen Xiaonian heard that Lin Qi didn't come back for dinner, she seemed to have lost her appetite. She sat on the sofa and ate the cut fruit one bite at a time, watching the TV but not thinking about it. Working overtime? In his memory, Lin Qi
You never work overtime. Could it be that the company has encountered some difficult problems? Chen Xiaonian thought about various reasons, but she didn't expect to leave Lin Qi behind to have dinner with her best friend today.
"Forget it, I have a headache."
Because Chen Xiaonian was the only one to eat, Aunt Li only made four dishes and one porridge. Chen Xiaonian slowly peeled off the shells of the boiled prawns, and suddenly the memory of Lin Qi's serious and doting look on his face when peeling the shrimps for him popped up in his mind.
It looks like the sweet prawns in your mouth have no taste at this moment.
"Aunt Li, please sit down and eat together!"
It was very boring to eat alone, so Chen Xiaonian called to Aunt Li who was packing things in the kitchen.
"No, no need, I'll just eat it after I get back."
Aunt Li quickly declined. She had worked as a cook for many wealthy families, but no one had ever invited her to have dinner with her.
"It doesn't matter. I don't feel comfortable eating alone, so you should just accompany me."
Chen Xiaonian stood up and pulled her over and pushed her down on the chair. Aunt Li tried to stand up but was pushed down again.
"This, how can this be so embarrassing?"
Aunt Li had a nervous and embarrassed look on her face, and her smile was as simple as an honest person. Chen Xiaonian placed the bowls and chopsticks in front of her and urged her to use them with a smile, and the two of them just chatted while eating.
Chen Xiaonian learned that Aunt Li was also a hard-working woman. She was widowed at a young age and had to work hard to raise her children alone. As a result, the children did not learn well and were admitted to the hospital a few years ago because of theft.
"Aunt Li, I'm sorry for bringing up your sadness again."
Chen Xiaonian felt deeply sorry and leaned over to pick up a napkin to wipe Aunt Li's tears.
"It happened so long ago, I'm no longer sad anymore."
Aunt Li took the paper in Chen Xiaonian's hand and wiped it carelessly with an embarrassed smile: "It's my fault that it affected the young lady's appetite."
After finishing speaking, he let out a long sigh and said slowly: "I am already old. Now I just want to work hard and save some money for my son. When he comes out, I will marry him a wife who knows both coldness and warmth. Before I close my eyes,
Being able to see the young couple living with Meimei makes me worthy of that damn ghost."
Chen Xiaonian, who could normally eat three bowls of rice in one meal, only ate one bowl of porridge today for the first time and then put down her chopsticks. Seeing that the young master had not come back yet, Aunt Li proposed to wait with the young madam, but Chen Xiaonian rejected her kindness.
"It's dark, you've worked hard all day, go back and have a good rest!"
When Aunt Li left, she saw the back of the young lady sitting alone on the sofa and her nose felt sore. On the way back, she wondered if the young couple had gotten into trouble. Could it be that the young lady was pregnant and the young master... cheated on him? This thought made Aunt Li
I shuddered and immediately shook this thought out of my mind. The young master is not that kind of person!
Chen Xiaonian fell asleep unknowingly, and when she woke up, it was already 8:30 pm. She changed her position and continued to lie down. When she saw that there were no calls or messages on the phone screen, she decided to call Lin Qi. However, she made four or five calls in succession.
No one answered. At this time, Lin Qi threw his phone in the office and sat outside to supervise his secretaries working overtime.
The secretaries were all working diligently under the personal supervision of their presidents. Their backs were straight. Apart from the sound of flipping through documents, not even a cough could be heard in the entire space. The clock hanging on the wall passed by one minute and one second, and the sound of the stopwatch turned.
It was so clear that Lin Qi, who was sleeping, could even hear his own heartbeat.
"Okay, let's get off work!"
Even though the boss had spoken, the secretaries still didn't dare to relax and tidied up their desks silently and quickly. They didn't dare to breathe a sigh of relief until they walked out of Lin's building. It was really scary. This was the first time since the president took over Lin's.
Working overtime once, and being personally supervised by the president, this is a really heavy honor.
Lin Qi got up and returned to the office. He subconsciously turned on his mobile phone and his heart skipped a beat when he saw the missed calls on it. After that, he kissed his wife and didn't know how to cry. On the way back, he kept urging the driver to speed up, while secretly cursing himself why he didn't
Carry your cell phone with you.
Standing at the door to collect himself, he opened the door and saw darkness. Lin Qi did not go to the bedroom, but walked quietly to the sofa. As expected, he saw Chen Xiaonian, who was sleeping with his arms stretched out. He covered his face with his hands helplessly.
He smiled and realized that his worries were all based on his own sentimentality.
"Husband, I'm sorry..."
Lin Qi, who was feeling helpless, felt his heart soften when he heard this murmur. The thought of how to teach his wife a lesson tomorrow disappeared instantly.
"...I shouldn't eat durian and spicy and smelly snail noodles in your office."
Lin Qi stared at the sweet sleeping face of his kissing wife, clenched his hands to restrain his urge to shake her awake. He picked her up, leaving only a soft sigh that dissipated in the darkness.
When Lin Qi came out after washing, he saw his wife sitting there in high spirits, waiting for him. When Chen Xiaonian saw someone coming out, he awkwardly got out of bed and pulled him to the dressing table to sit down. He took out the hair dryer and dried Lin Qi's hair little by little. That's it.
Later, I also applied some hair care oil on him.
“Sweet-smelling husband!”
Chen Xiaonian put her hands around Lin Qi's neck, tilted her head and said with a smile: "Are you still angry?"
When Lin Qi talked about this, he became very angry. He raised his hand and gave Chen Xiaonian a headache.
"What do you think?"
Chen Xiaonian pretended to be exaggerated and covered her forehead and said, "Oh, I'm sorry! I haven't seen Tang Guo for a long time. I forgot about you in the moment of excitement."
Lin Qi pulled the person onto his lap and kissed him, "Then you won't give me a call? How worried will I be if you stay outside with your big belly?"
It can be said that Chen Xiaonian now does whatever he wants because of Lin Qi's love for her. She leaned on his shoulder and vowed: "I swear I will never let this happen again, otherwise I won't be able to eat snail noodles without soup dumplings in the future!"
Lin Qi was defeated by her weird appearance. He stroked her gradually expanding belly with one hand, and suddenly felt something kicking him, very powerfully. Then he lowered his head and threatened: "If you dare to torment your mother again,
, I’ll beat your butt to pieces when you’re born.”
Chen Xiaonian said dissatisfied: "He is still a child..."
Lin Qi straightened his expression, raised his wife's head and said, "Children should be educated from the time they are born, so as to establish a correct concept for them. Don't think that he doesn't understand, in fact he knows everything."
Chen Xiaonian was moved by his rhetoric. Recently, she had watched a lot of videos about prenatal education. Some of the experts had the same views as Lin Qi.
"Oh, did you hear that? You have to be good, otherwise your father will not be easy to mess with!"
Chen Xiaonian lowered his head and poked at his big belly, but Lin Qi's eyes fell on the food rations for the children who had grown up with his belly. Compared with the size before, it was a huge difference from now.
"Wife."
Lin Qi's throat was a little tight, and his voice was dry. Chen Xiaonian was having a great time and raised his head blankly. When he met the other person's gaze, his heart trembled. Those fiery eyes seemed to devour him.
"Honey, is that okay?"
Chen Xiaonian nodded shyly. She didn't need to explain herself. Her husband would always put his own safety first and this would never change.
After sending Chen Xiaonian home, Tang Guo ate outside before going back. As soon as she entered the door, she saw her mother's face full of anger.
"You girl, you still know how to come back?"
As soon as Tang's mother saw her daughter, she rushed over and tried to twist her ears, but finally put her raised hand down.
"That aunt is gone?"
Tang Guo pouted indifferently. His mother had always been a sharp-tongued person, so he didn't panic at all when he saw her rushing over.
"She is also an elder after all. How can you say that?"
Tang's mother got a headache when she mentioned this incident. The relative cried and complained about her difficulties at home. Now she felt even more kind-hearted but was let down. She reluctantly left until she couldn't bear to give her many things.
"Elder? Does she look like an elder? The so-called good marriage she talks about is clearly jealous of our family's good life, and she is willing to drag our family into the dust."
If you don't respect your elders, you don't need to give her so-called face.
"You girl really want to break your mother's heart!"
Tang's mother also knew that the good marriage that the relative said was unreliable, and she was very angry when she heard it, but she couldn't do it in front of others.
"Forget it, just do whatever you want. We are old and can't control you anymore."
After saying that, she waved her hands and went back to the room. Tang Guo looked at her mother's back and it seemed that she had become much older in an instant. She felt sad and her eyes were wet. She knew that her parents loved face very much, but she was not willing to give in.
If you really don't meet your sweetheart, it doesn't matter if you don't get married for the rest of your life.
The next day, the secretaries were gathered together by their bosses as soon as they came to work, and each of them was given a small 5g gold bar.
Ye Hui said with a straight face: "This is the overtime pay given to you by the president. I believe you all know that the president has nothing to say to us on weekdays, so I hope that you can perform your duties more diligently in your future work to repay the kindness of knowing you."
.”
The meeting ended after half an hour, and everyone returned to their respective posts to start today's work.
"The child is developing well, but his behavior is a little strange."
In the B-ultrasound room, the doctor pushed up his glasses and looked closely to make sure he saw correctly. The child covered his eyes with his hands.
"What's the problem?"
Chen Xiaonian was very worried. Lin Qi on the side helped wipe away the remaining gel on his stomach before carefully lifting him up, squatting down and putting on his shoes. His swollen feet made him feel distressed, and he secretly decided to wait until the child came out first.
Give me a beating. If you dare to bully your wife like this, you deserve a beating!
When Chen Xiaonian saw the image of the child, she immediately blushed, as if thinking of something indescribable, and then turned around and glared at her husband.
"Stay away from me from now on!"
After leaving the hospital, Chen Xiaonian gritted his teeth and said to Lin Qi.
"All other requests are acceptable, but not this one!"
As his wife's son, Lin Qi would not be able to sleep or eat if he was away from his wife. Moreover, since his wife became pregnant, as the months got older, her body exuded a sweet smell that she had never experienced before. This is
Smells better than any other perfume.
"Once a week from now on, is that okay?"
Seeing her husband pretending to be thoughtful, Chen Xiaonian really wanted to give him a thrill, but she had never succeeded before, and now that she was pregnant and heavier, it was even more impossible.
When Lin Qi saw his wife walking forward angrily, he caught up with her and intertwined their hands. In order not to make Chen Xiaonian uncomfortable, he took off the wedding ring from her hand early and put it on a gold chain.
Wearing it around your neck, you can't let the ring leave your body anyway. This is a witness to the lifelong commitment between two people.
