"Husband will miss you too! Baby, I'm going to hang up the phone, why don't you give your husband a kiss?"
"Well, okay!" Yu Xiao put the phone to her lips and kissed it hard, making a "pop" sound, then put it to her ear and asked him with a smile: "Did you hear it?"
"I heard it! Honey, I love you! Goodbye!" Kang Shaonan heard the knock on the door, hung up the phone, and then pressed the power button. He stood up, picked up the letter paper and mobile phone on the table and handed them to Xiao Zhang who came in. Then he strode out of his office.
Yu Xiao was slightly stunned when she heard Kang Shaonan's last words, "My husband loves you." This was the first time he told her that he loved her after more than a month of marriage. Something called happiness quickly emerged from the bottom of her heart and then spread throughout her body. She wanted to say, "My husband, I love you too." But before she could open her mouth, a beeping sound came from the other side.
Kang Shaoxi was tortured by Fu Zihao for the whole night last night. Her whole body felt like it was falling apart and she felt very uncomfortable. When she woke up in the morning, it was already past nine o'clock. Fu Zihao ignored her feelings and tortured her for another hour before leaving with satisfaction. Before leaving, he left his cell phone number to Kang Shaoxi, and of course, he also took away an important thing in the corner. Kang Shaoxi was so sad in bed that she didn't notice what he was doing at all.
It was already past ten in the morning when she came out of the hotel. She first went to find her car nearby. When she got into the driver's seat, she took out her cell phone and wanted to call her friend Shen Xinrou to complain to her and tell her everything that happened last night. But after thinking about it, she felt that it was not right. If Shen Xinrou knew that her body was ruined by another man, would she still help her marry Shen Yimo
Definitely not!
Kang Shaoxi thought about this and decided to keep what happened last night a secret. As long as she didn't say anything, no one would know about it. As for Fu Zihao's words about marrying her, she didn't take it to heart at all. But after thinking about it, she still had to make the call, at least to dispel Shen Xinrou's doubts. When she took out her mobile phone, she found that it had been turned off for a long time. She pressed the power button, and soon more than a dozen text messages came in. She opened them one by one and saw that they were all from Shen Xinrou. Kang Shaoxi bit her lip and pressed the redial button. The phone rang and was picked up.
"Shaoxi, why did you turn off your phone last night?" Shen Xinrou couldn't wait to ask as soon as the call was connected.
"Oh, my phone is dead, I just woke up!"
"Where did you sleep last night?"
"In the hotel, what's the matter?"
"Did anything happen to you last night?" Shen Xinrou asked tentatively.
"It's nothing. By the way, what happened to that glass of wine yesterday? Why didn't your brother have any reaction after drinking it? I was so happy for nothing. What a shame!" Kang Shaoxi complained angrily on purpose.
"Yeah, I wondered too! I was shocked when I saw him come back last night! So why are you still sleeping in the hotel now that my brother is back?"
"You know the family rules of our family. If my grandfather sees me running back drunk, he will skin me alive. So I might as well rest here." Kang Shaoxi answered casually.
"Well, that's true!"
"Xinrou, I still have a headache today after drinking yesterday. I want to go home and have a good sleep! I'll come to see you in two days!"
"Okay! By the way, how's that thing you mentioned going? Are we still going to do it?"
"What's up?"
"It's the child in Yu Xiao's belly..."
"Well... do it! Why not?" Kang Shaoxi answered cruelly.
"Okay! Then I'll wait for your news!"
"Bye-Bye!"
"Bye-Bye!"
After An An and Zhao Chen went on a business trip, they didn't come back for several days. Xiaotong heard that Manager Zhao Chen was injured there and couldn't come back for a while. Yu Xiao didn't have to face An An these days. Although she was a little uneasy, she was happy for a long time because of Kang Shaonan's words "I love you" before. She told herself that when Kang Shaonan came back in a month, she would tell him in person that she loved him too, very much!
After Shen Yimo knew that Yu Xiao was pregnant, he kept reminding himself that she was married and had a child, so he should treat her as a relative in the future. But despite this, his concern for her would still be revealed unconsciously. He specifically told Lan Chen in private to reduce Yu Xiao's workload, but not to let her feel that he was taking care of her. In the past, he would take her with him from time to time when talking to clients, but after knowing that she was pregnant, he never took her out once. Even when eating with her, he would tell her what not to eat casually and what was not good for the fetus.
On Friday, Shen Yimo took Yu Xiao to Uncle Ming's house. Since knowing that Yu Xiao was pregnant, Uncle Ming urged Shen Yimo to bring Yu Xiao over more than once. Since he was really busy these days, he delayed the time until Friday noon.
As soon as the car drove into the villa, Uncle Ming couldn't wait to come forward and considerately helped Yu Xiao open the car door.
When Yu Xiao got out of the car, he joked with Uncle Ming in a somewhat annoyed tone: "Uncle Ming, please don't do this again. I will be nervous!"
"What's there to be nervous about? You're a pregnant woman, so you have to be careful in everything you do from now on!" Uncle Ming looked at Yu Xiao and smiled kindly.
Shen Yimo came around the front of the car, looked at Yu Xiao and said half-jokingly: "Uncle Ming likes you so much, why don't you just be Uncle Ming's goddaughter!"
Yu Xiao was slightly stunned, then her face turned red, and she was somewhat uncomfortable with this kind of thing.
Uncle Ming looked at the expression on Yu Xiao's face and immediately waved his hand: "Child, how can you force others to do such things? In the future, Xiao girl can come to Uncle Ming's place often as a guest, and Uncle Ming will be satisfied. How dare you expect to have such a good daughter?"
Being able to take Yu Xiao as his goddaughter was what Uncle Ming wanted to do from the moment he saw her for the first time, but he kept it in his heart and never dared to say it out loud. As people get older, their desire for family affection becomes particularly strong, especially when he saw Yu Xiao's face that looked like Ming Yao, which made him feel indescribably close to Yu Xiao.
"Uncle Ming, please don't say that, otherwise I will be embarrassed to come here again." Yu Xiao hurriedly explained after hearing Uncle Ming's words. In fact, deep down, she already regarded Uncle Ming as a relative. It's just that with Uncle Ming's wealth, she felt that being his goddaughter was a bit greedy.
"Uncle Ming, she thinks you are too rich and she dares not marry you, right, Yu Xiao?" Shen Yimo joked with a smile.
"I didn't..." Yu Xiao looked at Shen Yimo speechlessly. Couldn't this man not speak so bluntly
The three of them walked into the living room with a smile. Shen Yimo and Yu Xiao sat down on the sofa, while Uncle Ming turned around and went into his bedroom. Shen Yimo looked at Yu Xiao beside him, looking at her very seriously.
"Xiaoxiao, Uncle Ming is alone and old, he really treats you as his daughter, so be his goddaughter!"
Although Mingyao unfortunately passed away in a car accident, Shen Yimo never severed his relationship with Uncle Ming because he had loved him deeply, so he understood Uncle Ming's pain better than anyone else. Without the feeling of having relatives around, the heart is like a fallen leaf in the autumn wind, unable to find any support.
"Okay!" After listening to Shen Yimo's words, Yu Xiao agreed readily this time.
"Okay, it's settled!" Hearing her agreement, Shen Yimo smiled and nodded.
Uncle Ming also came out of the room at this time, with a small box in his hand. He smiled and walked to Yu Xiao and sat down. He opened the small box and took out a silver lock of longevity from it and handed it to Yu Xiao.
"Xiao girl, this is what my mother left behind. I originally wanted to give it to Yaoyao and Yi Mo's child. If you don't mind, just accept it. It's my gift to the child."
Yu Xiao refused as soon as he saw it: "Uncle Ming, this gift is too expensive, I can't accept it! Besides, he is only one month old, he can't take this now!"
"Uncle Ming gave it to you, just take it!" Shen Yimo next to him squinted at Yu Xiao.
"Then... thank you Uncle Ming!" Yu Xiao reached out to take it and smiled at Uncle Ming.
Shen Yimo, who was standing next to him, looked at the old man and the young man and smiled: "Uncle Ming, I think you still need to bring out a gift!"
Uncle Ming and Yu Xiao looked at him in confusion.
"Xiaoxiao just agreed to be your goddaughter. Why don't you give her something to win her heart?" Shen Yimo looked at Uncle Ming jokingly.
Uncle Ming didn't quite believe what Shen Yimo said, and stared at Yu Xiao excitedly: "Xiao girl, is that true? Are you really willing to be Uncle Ming's goddaughter?"
Yu Xiao smiled and nodded: "If Uncle Ming doesn't dislike me..."
"No, no, I don't mind! Uncle Ming is so happy! Xiaoxiao, wait for me, I, I, I... I'll go get some more things!" Uncle Ming interrupted Yu Xiao excitedly before she could finish her words, then stood up and was about to walk towards the bedroom, but Yu Xiao stood up and grabbed him.
"Uncle Ming, please don't take it again! Otherwise I won't even want this gift!" Seeing Uncle Ming's excitement, she knew that she had done the right thing this time.
"How can that be?" Uncle Ming still insisted on leaving.
"Uncle Ming, please stop working so hard. There is still a long time to come. There is no need to rush." Shen Yimo tried to smooth things over.
"Okay, okay! Then Uncle Ming won't take it today. Xiaoxiao, sit down! Sit down!" Uncle Ming was a little excited, and even his eyes were red. Ever since his daughter Mingyao left, he never thought that he would have another daughter in this life.
I don’t know if God took pity on him and sent Yu Xiao to him. After hearing her promise, he, who was in his fifties or sixties, could no longer remain calm.
“Uncle Ming…” Yu Xiao looked at Uncle Ming so excited, and a complex emotion arose in her heart, the most common of which was heartache.
"Xiaoxiao, didn't you agree to be Uncle Ming's daughter? Why do you still call him Uncle Ming?" Shen Yimo on the side reminded her with a smile.
Yu Xiao pursed her lips, looking at Uncle Ming's expectant expression, a little hesitant. Growing up, except for her own father Yu Jiahou, she has never called another man "Dad". Somehow, she couldn't bring herself to call him that. (To be continued)
