This situation has been deadlocked. Wen Yi was unwilling to give him any response other than being cold. Mo Shichen wanted to break this situation, but he never found a suitable opportunity. She was like an ice wall.
Until one day he couldn't drive to pick her up because of work, so he had to send a driver to take his place. After notifying the driver, he called her himself.
Although she didn't seem to care whether he went or not.
The call was picked up half a minute after he dialed it. When her soft voice sounded, he was distracted and wondering if this woman didn't even want to answer his phone. Fortunately, he heard her asking in his ear the next second. He said, "Is something wrong?"
Mo Shichen asked almost subconsciously, "Can't I call you if nothing happens?"
This rhetorical question also contains some questioning meaning.
Wen Yi remained calm, "What's the matter, tell me."
Mo Shichen was quiet for a moment before suppressing his temper, "I got off work late today and can't pick you up. I've asked the driver to wait for you at your company during your usual off-duty time."
"okay."
"I might have to come back later."
"Anything else?"
Listening to her distant tone, Mo Shichen's heart felt as if something was weighing heavily on him. It had been so long, but he still hadn't gotten used to her indifference. He half-closed his eyes and only asked in a low voice, "What have you been doing lately?" If you have a bad appetite, you should try to eat as much as possible, whether you want to eat or not.”
"I know. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up. There's a call coming in."
The shadow on the man's face became heavier, but he could only say, "Okay."
After saying this word, the other end hung up the phone.
Silence fell upon my ears.
… …
There was indeed a call from Wen Yi over there. After hanging up the phone from Mo Shichen, she received a call from Wen's mother, "Yier, take your brother's car after get off work later and come back with him. We'll call you back in the evening." Can we have dinner at home?"
"Oh sure."
Mother Wen hesitated for a few seconds and asked tentatively, "Would you like to call Mo Shichen... and ask him to come over after get off work?"
Wen Yi said calmly, "He just called me and said he was very busy today and had to work overtime. He probably doesn't have time."
This sounded a lot like excuses, and she felt the same way.
But what a coincidence, she just answered his call half a minute ago.
Mother Wen obviously didn't believe it, but she didn't know what to say. She sighed and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you to come back at home."
"Okay, mom, bye."
… …
Fifteen minutes after the call with Wen Yi, Mo Shichen received a call from the driver he sent to her, "Master, I just went to pick up Miss Wen, and she said she was going to Wen's house... so I took Young Master Wen's ride." Car, let me go first.”
"Didn't I ask you to take her home?"
"Miss Wen said there was a dinner party at the Wen family, so I..."
He is just a driver, what more can he say.
Dinner
Mo Shichen sat in a chair, and the hand holding the phone tightened unconsciously.
In the past, when the Wen family had dinner together, she would definitely call him.
What does she mean
Or maybe there was no dinner party at all, but she just didn't want to go home, so she found an excuse to go back to her parents' house
Mo Shichen directly hung up the driver's phone.
After thinking about it for a while, he still couldn't restrain himself and dialed Wen Yi's number again. Before she could say anything, he asked directly, "Why didn't you call me when you got back to Wen's house?"
Wen Yi was sitting in the passenger seat of Wen Hanye's car. She smiled when she heard this and said, "I'm just going home for a meal. Is it necessary?"
He himself works overtime and late, what impact does it have if she comes back early and comes back late
Mo Shichen suppressed his temper, but even so he couldn't suppress the questioning tone, "Every time your family has a dinner, your mother will ask you to call me. It's not enough for you to have a cold war with me now, and you are ready to kick me out directly." Right?"
Wen Yi felt that he was very strange. She didn't call him when she went back to her house for dinner, but she just wanted to kick him out
She smiled faintly, "I didn't know when you became so good at kicking."
The man didn't speak, but she could clearly hear that his breathing suddenly became heavier.
He had been patient and restraining his attitude during this period. Apparently the more he tolerated, the more irritable his temper became, but he still couldn't vent it out. It was such a vicious cycle.
Wen Yi had a ridiculous delusion that sooner or later this man would explode.
Mo Shichen's other hand that wasn't holding the phone was holding a pen. The black pen barrel could be broken by him at any time, but in the end it didn't happen, and the man's tone also lowered, "I'll pick you up after get off work."
Wen Yi didn't say yes or no, she just said, "Let's talk about it later."
Mo Shichen's breathing became more and more obvious. He wanted to say something else, but chose to cut off the call directly.
He was afraid that if he kept talking, he would really lose his temper at her.
It took Wen Yi a few seconds to realize that the call had been hung up. This situation was very rare. She knew that the man on the other end was angry without even thinking about it. She pursed her lips and took the phone back carelessly. into the bag.
Wen Hanye turned his head to look at her and asked her with a smile, "You are pregnant and fighting with him, won't you suffer?"
She replied calmly, "How could that be? I feel very happy when I see him feeling aggrieved."
“…”
Wen Hanye shook his head and smiled. There are more than enough people in this world that can make Mr. Mo miserable. He can count them all on one hand.
He wanted to use his children to contain Wen Yi.
Well now, this child has become his biggest concern.
With his usual style, how could he tolerate Wen Yi keeping him cold for such a long time? He didn't dare to force him like he did in the past. He undoubtedly knew that if something happened to this child, it would be even more bloody than when he was pregnant. .
He couldn't afford to gamble, so he didn't dare to act rashly.
Wen Hanye's car drove into the Wen family villa. Wen Yi got out of the car and took a few steps before she was stunned.
Thousands of snowflakes fell from the sky, dancing under the darkening sky.
She raised her face, and the cold white fell on her cheeks.
It's snowing.
Her wedding to Mo Shichen took place in the snowy days of late winter.
… …
Mo Shichen handled the remaining work with the highest efficiency. By the time it was finished, it was already after eight o'clock and almost nine o'clock. Just as he simply packed up his things and picked up the car keys to go out, his cell phone rang.
He glanced down and saw the note on the caller ID: Mrs. Mo.
It was strange that since the child incident, this was the first time she had taken the initiative to call him in such a long time.
only…
His thin lips curled up in a cold and self-deprecating way. He was almost certain that if she took the initiative to call him, she would be afraid of doing nothing good. It was probably because she was not going back to the manor tonight and asked him not to pick her up.
But even so, he still had to take it.
"Yier,"
"Are you done?"
It was so simple that it was just an opening greeting, but it warmed Mo Shichen's heart, because she had not received such a polite greeting for a long time.
So Mo Shichen lost the ability to think within a few seconds and spoke the truth softly, "It's just over. I'll be right over."
