"You... why are you here?"
"I ca to have lunch with you, is there a problem?"
Mo Qingning blinked and asked. Just as she finished speaking, she saw Xiao Yize co out.
Their gazes barely touched, and Mo Qingning was pulled away by Fu Zixin.
Xiao Yize was also montarily stunned to see Mo Qingning. It seed like it had been a while since he’d last seen her. Ever since Fu Zixin joined the departnt, he occasionally caught sight of Mo Qingning when he raised his eyes in the office.
Watching Mo Qingning being pulled away by Fu Zixin reminded him of the ti she confessed her feelings to him in the car.
"Xiao Yize, I’m telling you, I just like you, and I can’t control it!"
These words suddenly flashed through his mind.
Looking back, it felt like a distant past...
But just now, when she looked at him, her eyes were as calm as a still lake, without a ripple.
Xiao Yize lowered his eyes and smiled, suddenly feeling his heart sink like a stone.
☆
It was an early winter morning.
Mo Chuxi was still asleep while Yan Xinxin woke up.
She turned her head to look at the man sleeping beside her.
The morning light gently fell on his warm features — his straight nose, thin lips, sword-like eyebrows, and starry eyes — like an ink painting, elegant and refined.
Yan Xinxin leaned closer, placed a kiss beside his lips, then smiled mysteriously before carefully getting out of bed...
When Mo Chuxi got up, he found that Yan Xinxin was not there. Upon asking, he learned she had gone to the exhibition center early in the morning.
It seed she had truly put her heart and soul into this jewelry exhibition.
Mo Chuxi inevitably felt a pang of heartache.
His beloved was so heavily pregnant, with twins no less. It must be really tough for her.
He promised himself that once the two little ones in her belly were born, he would never make her belly big again. He never wanted to see her struggle like this again.
Mo Chuxi’s car pulled up at Di Jue’s entrance as Mo Qingning and Fu Zixin got out first.
Fu Zixin took Mo Qingning’s lunch box with a big smile.
"Qingning, if Young Master Xiao and I get together, I will really thank you... for the als and desserts you’ve been making for every day."
Hearing Fu Zixin’s words, Mo Qingning frowned slightly.
Fu Zixin glanced at her with so aning.
"Qingning, do you have soone you like?"
"..."
"You’re silent, huh! You usually say whatever’s on your mind, but now..."
"What’s now? Even Nana knows how to fall in love. Can’t I change too?"
"..."
Fu Zixin was slightly annoyed by the retort and pursed her lips unhappily.
"I’d like to et Nana’s boyfriend. I bet he’s short, fat, dark, ugly, and has a bad heart. Otherwise, how could he have tricked Nana away? Everyone knows Nana’s intelligence is questionable."
"Hey!"
Mo Qingning stopped unhappily.
"If you keep bad-mouthing Nana, give back the lunch box I made!"
"... Okay, okay, I won’t say it anymore! Nana’s the smartest, her boyfriend is tall, slim, handso, and charming. Is that good enough?"
Fu Zixin had no choice but to concede.
The two then took the elevator and headed to their respective workstations.
Mo Chuxi was also very busy today as the year was coming to an end. However, no matter how busy, he always made ti to call Yan Xinxin, but she hurriedly hung up after just exchanging a few words.
Mo Chuxi found it very strange and felt a bit let down because Yan Xinxin was unusually cold to him today. She was busy at the exhibition hall all day. When it was half an hour past quitting ti, he only received a ssage from her saying she’d be ho late on her own.
Mo Chuxi felt a tightness in his chest. A pregnant woman almost five months along was neglecting him, her husband, for work!
Outrageous!
So he didn’t go ho either, wanting to see who was more tenacious!
Mo Chuxi deliberately stayed out till ten before returning ho, his face dark as he headed to the bedroom.
As he stepped into the bedroom and reached to turn on the light, sothing felt off. He was about to lift his eyes when a sweet, soft voice suddenly spoke up.
"Don’t turn on the light."
