Chapter 153 [6000 words]
What's rare is that he didn't refuse and looked at her with a low smile: "What do you want to hear?"
"Everything is good. I never seem to have heard you sing anything. On weekdays, you high-ranking officials in the government go out for social activities, not like us. They go to sing K after dinner, right?"
He didn't answer, and his hand holding her body slowly moved upwards, lifting the quilt on her body.
"I think there is not even a romance between us that is worth remembering."
He smiled and lowered his head to kiss her: "So, we are all each other's cabbage?"
She also smiled, wondering if you have heard of the story of cabbage and roses. Yes, they are both cabbages for each other, so why do you mention romance?
So Ji Xinyao was so embarrassed to speak out with the word "love".
She fell asleep listening to his songs. He sang Xu Song's "Funny of the South Mountains". It was not a popular song nowadays, nor a classical music or a foreign golden song, or a light song sang a light song. His voice was as clear as a spring. This faint tone that made people sound extremely quiet became extremely elegant in him.
The next day, He Jiezhen came over and said that although she and Gu Nanxi had been married for half a year, according to Chinese customs, the groom and the bride could not meet the day before the wedding. He Jiezhen knew that Xin Yao would feel uncomfortable because of her vomiting, so she did not force her to look back at her residence and booked her a pretty good room at the Skyrim Hotel that was preparing for the wedding.
After packing up his things, Xin Yao went directly to the hotel in the afternoon. He heard that the Ji family had also come and came to City G as her mother's family. Xin Yao did not go to see them. The emcee at the wedding was about to introduce Ji Qiuhang's identity. In short, for the Ji family, except for an external relationship, there was no slight affection inside.
Yufei comes to accompany her at night, including tomorrow, Yufei will accompany her all day before the wedding.
"Sister-in-law, haven't washed it yet? Just now my brother called to ask what we wanted to eat, so I made my own decision to eat the cake. Now the hotel waiter has already brought the cake. You can wash it and eat it together."
Xin Yao was soaking in a foam-filled bathtub, resting her head on the edge of the bathtub. Because the water temperature was well controlled, the bathtub was an expensive and special material, and the water would not cool down because of time. Xin Yao didn't know how long she had been soaking inside. She almost fell asleep while lying there, and suddenly heard Yufei calling her outside the bathroom.
"You eat first. It's rare to have such free time to have a bubble bath. I'll take a while~"
"No, sister-in-law, you will feel dizzy when you soak for too long. I have this experience. A few years ago, I was in my own apartment in the United States. Once, I had a cold and soaked in water, so I kept soaking without coming out. Later, as soon as I got up, my eyes turned dark and I almost fainted. You can't soak for so long now!"
"Okay, then I'll come out right away." Xin Yao was helpless. The bathroom was very quiet. It was so quiet that she could meditate a lot. The past was vivid in her mind, and it also allowed her to see a lot in this leisure space. She really couldn't bear to go out, but she didn't want to joke about her current body, so she simply stood up.
Five minutes later, when I walked out of the bathroom, I saw Yu Fei, who was rarely as loose as she had to wear and no longer had to hide her belly, was wearing a thin pajama, holding a small plate of cut cake in her hand, and ate back and forth by the round bed.
Xin Yao wiped her hair and saw Yu Fei's appearance that was extremely relaxed in front of her, without any disguise. She was very happy. Seeing that Yu Fei's belly was slightly protruding, she probably couldn't hide it soon, so she couldn't help asking: "Nancy already knows it, what do you plan to do in the future?"
Yu Fei paused, ate a bite of the cake, and looked back at her: "I will go back to the United States after your wedding the day after tomorrow."
"I'm not asking this. I'm talking about this child. Are you still unwilling to say who the child's father is? It won't take long before your brother can find out. Why bother making things difficult for yourself like this?"
Yu Fei said nothing, turned around and cut another piece of cake, then served it to Xin Yao. While Xin Yao took it, she whispered: "Have my brother been looking for Qin Muyan these two days?"
Ji Xinyao was stunned immediately. Looking at Yu Fei's calm gaze, she finally admitted it.
"If I guessed right, my brother already knew it, but I just couldn't pull it away recently. Moreover, it's not time to find him, because..." Yu Fei smiled and gently stroked her stomach with her hands: "This child's father... doesn't know the existence of this child at all. To put it bluntly, I didn't plan to make him take any responsibility. After all, it was my own voluntary. He got drunk that day and I helped him to the hotel. He didn't know it was me, and he never knew it was me."
Yu Fei's expression was very relaxed. She looked up at Xin Yao's surprised eyes and smiled: "Sister-in-law, you guessed it early in the morning, right? Women have the most sensitive sense of smell. I often look like an invisible person in front of you and my brother."
"It's really his? Then he... doesn't know?" Xin Yao frowned.
Yu Fei lowered her head, put a red cherry on the cake and put it in her mouth, and then smiled: "Even if he knows one day, what can he do? He knew a long time ago that I thought about him, but he often avoided me because I was the sister of his good brother. He said that he could have many women, but he could not touch me, and he would not touch me even if he died. I still remember the expression he said at that time when he spoke those words to me with confidence. Qin Muyan, who was always talking and laughing, often with the name of women who was not rejecting women, but he could also be so heartless and indifferent. I knew that cynicism was just an illusion he gave, but I didn't expect that his reason was so hurtful."
"In the past two years, he has avoided meeting me on any occasion. He occasionally refused to meet him, and he would say hello so politely. If he hadn't met me by chance at a banquet with a few friends in the mall a month before returning home, if he hadn't been drunk by those people, if I hadn't sent him to the hotel alone, if I hadn't helped him take off his clothes because he vomited all over, maybe this child wouldn't have existed..."
When he said this, Yu Fei's hand kept stroking her stomach with a smile in her eyes: "Love, I can't ask for it. If I force it according to the law, I don't plan to bother me. The sudden arrival of this child is a blow to me, but I want to keep him. In fact, this is very selfish, but I just want to keep me and his child. Even if one day he knows, he will hate me..." She bit her lip and sighed: "I would rather do this."
"You are so good, Qin Muyan shouldn't be so heartless on weekdays, right? How could he avoid you so resolutely?" Although Xin Yao was shocked, she suppressed her fear. Instead, she felt that even if Qin Muyan was heartless, she shouldn't be so heartless to such an excellent woman as Yu Fei.
Yu Fei smiled, as if she was telling a joke, but it was an ironic fact: "Because of you."
Xin Yao froze and wanted to explain, but Yu Fei smiled disapprovingly and continued: "Sister-in-law, don't get me wrong. I will tell you this now, and I don't mean to resent you at all. It's not your fault in his heart. It's not your fault. It's not you, but someone else. But because of this relationship, I have never been willing to say anything to you. Now it's your and my brother's wedding, so I'll put aside these concerns and talk to you. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll feel uncomfortable after holding it in for a long time."
Xin Yao really didn't expect the relationship between Qin Muyan and Yufei to be like this. She always thought that the two of them were pretty good friends in terms of fighting and having sex, and she always thought that Yufei was pregnant with this child but refused to tell anyone because there was something hidden between them.
It seems that she was thinking too simple.
And seeing Yu Fei's attitude of being meaningless and still laughing, I couldn't help but sigh.
Setbacks and blows are the most tempering things, either one can’t get angry or one can become steel.
It must be a low opinion of the quilt. Obviously, Yu Fei and she are the same type of people. At this age when they are originally a mountain flower and smile, they have developed a tough heart through setbacks and blows.
Before going to bed at night, I received a call from Gu Nanxi.
“What are you doing?”
"Make a mask." She applied a white mask on her face, staring at the TV, and said while watching, she still had a plate of unfinished cakes at hand, so she didn't have to go to work for the time being. She was so idle and guilty that she was waiting for the wedding leisurely.
"Have you eaten the cake? Yufei likes sweets. I know you don't like it, but that girl has spoken. I directly sent someone to order a box and sent it to deliver it."
"It's okay, it's just too sweet." Xin Yao glanced at the cake at hand.
Yes, the cake is sweet and sweet.
"Then eat less. Remember not to be hungry before the wedding tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. It will be very busy on the wedding day and there will be no chance to eat."
"Yes." Xin Yao took off the mask on her face, but she still leaned against the bed, staring at the point on the wall: "Nancy..."
"Um?"
She paused, and suddenly realized that she didn't know what to say: "Nothing, I just miss your name."
"Ha, fool."
********************************************************************************************
The next day, because the bride and groom could not meet on this day, Yufei was in a good mood and pulled Xin Yao to go shopping.
In the evening, the two returned to the hotel, but saw Qin Muyan's car parked there. Yufei saw his car at a glance, and her footsteps paused. Xin Yao saw him sitting in the car and reached out to say hello to them.
Seeing Yufei bent down slightly, as if she still didn't want him to know the existence of the child, Xin Yao frowned, but saw Yufei shook her head gently, meaning that she would not tell him.
If you don’t tell me, would you just let everything go on like this? No matter what, Yufei is pregnant with him, Qin Muyan’s child now.
It can be seen that Yu Fei obviously didn't want to cause any trouble to Qin Muyan because of her selfish intentions, so she could only sigh.
When he walked to the side of the car, Qin Muyan took a delicate box and handed it to her.
"What is this?" Xin Yao took it.
"Bomb." He laughed.
Her mouth twitched: "Will you make trouble at my wedding tomorrow?"
"You really know me~"
"Go to die!" Xin Yao lowered her head and opened the box a little, but saw a letter of dismissing the employee inside. She was embarrassed and looked at him: "Did you agree to my resignation?"
"What? Isn't this wedding gift you always want?" He raised his eyebrows, leaned on the steering wheel with one hand, smiling at her with a spring breeze.
Just when Xin Yao thought he was going to let go and sincerely wish her and Gu Nanxi, he narrowed his eyes slightly and raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't be too happy too early. This is called retreating to advance."
Ji Xinyao rolled her eyes immediately, wishing she could throw the box in her hand onto his head. If Yufei had not entered the hotel alone and refused to say hello to Qin Muyan, she would not have been so upset for Yufei now.
But it is not convenient to say anything. It would be too flirty to talk about Yu Fei from her perspective in front of Qin Muyan, right?
She suddenly asked seriously: "How many red envelopes do you plan to pack tomorrow?"
"It would be nice if I didn't blow up the hotel. I'd like to give you a red envelope? You think it's so beautiful!" Qin Muyan glanced at her, and his eyes were very good as a snobbish woman like her who only recognized money but not people...
After seeing Qin Muyan off, Xin Yao somehow wanted to see Gu Nanxi for some reason and check the time. Although the city hall had basically got off work at five or six o'clock, I remember that Gu Nanxi said on the phone that she would be busy until very late today, so she simply drove to the city hall.
When she arrived at the city hall, several security guards who had known her and the old man who was watching the door of the mailroom smiled at her and greeted her. It was not until she arrived at the mayor's office on the third floor and opened the door and saw that the office was pitch black and Gu Nanxi was not here.
I was originally thinking of surprise him while working, but she looked at the empty and dark mayor's office and sighed.
********************************************************************************************
Because Gu Nanxi seemed to have prepared this wedding, it was not hastily, and everything was so harmonious.
The wedding company specially transferred the country's top wedding team from Beijing. Although they were originally intended to be low-key for this wedding, the Gu family still pays great attention to quality, and even if it is low-key, it is not careless.
Early in the morning, Xin Yao was picked up from the bed with a makeup artist, put on makeup and changed into wedding dresses, and Yu Fei and Xiao Nuan helped to arrange many trivial matters.
In fact, Xin Yao didn't sleep much last night. She couldn't sleep after lying down at night. So after taking advantage of Yu Fei's sleep, she got up, put on a piece of clothes, sat in front of the window and looked out the window. She looked for a few hours, but she didn't fall asleep until she finally felt tired in the early morning. She was pulled up at this moment. She was so sleepy that she couldn't even open her eyes.
If it is a Western-style wedding, you don’t have to get up so early to make trouble. It’s the old man who said that Chinese people should follow the Chinese customs and do not go to church to listen to foreigners talking about inexplicable things.
He Jiezhen came very early. Xiao Nuan originally wanted to help her wear a wedding dress, but seeing Xiao Nuan holding the wedding dress and didn't know where to start, Ji Xinyao was really frightened. This stupid girl would definitely wear it on her back. Later, He Jiezhen came to take over the wedding dress and helped her put on the cumbersome but unreasonably beautiful wedding dress covered with three-dimensional clouds.
The hem of the skirt is very long. Fortunately, Xin Yao is quite tall. After wearing high heels, her temperament is very decent, which makes He Jiezhen very satisfied with her. She kept nagging and finally finished her mind.
There is a small and exquisite necklace made of custom-made and matched with a wedding dress. Xin Yao didn't bring anything on her wrist. Even if she got married, there was no need to carry all the jewelry on her body. There was a ring on her right ring finger. She had never taken off the ring since Gu Nanxi brought it to her. The platinum wedding ring shone brightly on her fingers.
Until the dressing was over, it was already past 9 o'clock. The woman in the mirror was wearing exquisite and elegant bridal makeup, with dense and long eyelashes and slightly raised eyes, and her eyes were big and bright. The skirt covered with three-dimensional clouds was luxurious and noble, and her already white skin was shining and moving against such a backdrop. When Xin Yao walked in front of the mirror, she couldn't believe that the person in the mirror was herself.
She never thought that one day she would look so elegant and graceful.
Xiao Nuan was wearing a bridesmaid dress of the same color as her and screamed repeatedly: "Wow, Sister Ji, you look like Snow White!"
Ji Xinyao smiled. Is there any Snow White like her? She felt that she might be the stepmother who ate Snow White poisonous apples.
The wedding was held at 9:58. It is said that the wedding car should come at 9:30, but until 9:40, the outside was still quiet.
Until 9:55, Xin Yao stood at the door of the room, chatting with some of the colleagues and friends who came to congratulate him with a smile. Hearing that they praised him until he was about to fly to the sky, his face was almost froze.
In fact, the wedding was 9:58 and 10:58, which is some of the old people's habits. It's nothing to be late for an hour or two hours, but for people with Gu Nanxi's concept of time, he will only be early and will never be late.
He Jiezhen was afraid that Xin Yao would be anxious, so she smiled and turned to comfort her, saying that it might be a traffic jam on the road. Xin Yao smiled and did not answer.
Afterwards, she pretended not to see He Jiezhen secretly called Gu Nanxi when Mr. Gu and Gu Yuanheng rushed over. Mr. Gu also came over to coax her: "I just said it's not good to live in the city, and it's often traffic jams, which really delays the serious business."
According to the old man's personality who doesn't like to explain, being able to say such comforting words to her is enough to warm people's hearts, but it is also far-fetched enough. He Jiezhen came to comfort her again, but she had no confidence when she spoke.
Gu Nanxi's phone number was still not accessible, and Rimuli was only a few steps away from Skyrim Hotel?
The colleagues and friends around him and several relatives and friends of the Gu family began to secretly look at Ji Xinyao with sympathy eyes, and she just smiled.13acv.
She didn't know whether it was a stubborn woman to do her way, or whether it was a self-destructive person. She was just unwilling to accept it after all.
When Qin Muyan and Xiu Li arrived, it was already 11 o'clock. It was probably because they met at the hotel door before they could go upstairs together. When they came over, the old man and Gu Yuanheng were stunned when they saw Ji Xiu Li, but Xiu Li ignored anyone at all and walked straight to see Ji Xinyao: "What's going on?"
Looking at Qin Muyan's face...
Ji Xinyao looked at Qin Muyan in a blink of an eye.
"Nancy may have something urgent to do. After going out for a while, she probably will be back soon..." When Qin Muyan said this, her eyes did not look directly at her, and there was a little flashing.
Xin Yao asked herself to look at him quietly with a three-point smile, so Qin Muyan stopped talking.
"You don't know when he went out, right?" Xin Yao asked him with a smile.
