Since there were guests coming, Mr. Chi naturally stopped pestering them.
Chi Weiyang's eyes were still red.
Chi's mother opened the door, and the person standing at the door made Chi Weiyang stunned for a moment. The red eyes just now were now filled with mist.
She never expected that he would appear here at this moment.
As soon as Fu Yichen entered the room, his eyes fell on her and he couldn't move them away. He didn't ignore her red eyes and the red wrist that her other hand was holding.
"It's been a long time since I last saw Yichen. You look more handsome than before." Chi's mother spoke first.
Lai Fengyi pulled her son and said, "Why don't you call someone? Send the gift to Auntie."
Fu Yichen realized it later, handed over the gift, and exchanged a few more pleasantries. Mother Chi looked at him with satisfaction, and said with regret: "I heard from Fengyi that you have been married for several years. Why didn't you bring your wife with you?"
At the side, Chi Weiyang clenched his fingers tighter, his fingertips almost digging into the flesh.
She didn't hear a word of what he was saying or what others were saying. She just felt her mind was muddled and her thoughts were unclear.
"Aunt, please sit down. I'm going to the small supermarket outside to buy some food." Chi Weiyang felt that she was almost suffocating. She just said hello briefly, and without caring about her parents' expressions, she hurriedly opened the door and went out.
Lai Fengyi glanced at the back and asked, "Weiyang doesn't look too happy. Are we disturbing her by coming here?"
"What are you talking about? She is so happy that you are here." Chi's mother pulled Lai Fengyi to sit down, and Chi's father went in to prepare tea.
As soon as Chi Weiyang left, Fu Yichen couldn't sit still anymore.
"Mom, Auntie, you two can chat while I go out to see Weiyang."
Without waiting for the two to nod, Fu Yichen had already hurriedly chased after them.
The two elders looked at the people who left one after the other, each with their own thoughts. They sighed at the same time.
Then, Lai Fengyi shook his head and said, "It's our Yi Chen who is unlucky."
"What are you talking about? If anything, it's our Weiyang..." Mother Chi thought of her unmarried child, and she was overwhelmed with emotions. She couldn't continue. She just said, "If she could be with Yichen, at this age, why would her father and I need to worry about her?"
… … … … …
Chi Weiyang got off the elevator alone.
I walked out of the apartment building and looked at the gray sky outside, not knowing where to go.
Finally, I went to the supermarket.
It was the year-end sale, and all fruits and daily necessities were on sale. So even the not-so-big supermarket was now crowded with people. Chi Weiyang picked a few oranges and a few grapefruits and put them in a basket.
When she was about to take some other fruits, a strong man suddenly squeezed towards her. She was startled and stepped back for fear that her stomach would be squeezed.
However, it was too crowded and I didn't know who I was, and in my panic I bumped into a shelf nearby.
The shelves were shaky and about to fall down.
"Quick! Pregnant woman, get out of the way!"
Someone reminded me sharply.
Chi Weiyang looked at the shelf and felt his hands and feet go cold. He wanted to leave immediately, but at that moment, he was completely dazed. His feet felt like they were filled with lead.
For a long while, I could only stand there stupidly.
"Fool!"
Until a very familiar voice sounded in my ears.
Then, her waist tightened, and she spun around, and was hugged by the man's arms. Her body hit the man's chest heavily.
The shelves fell down with a loud crash, and the whole room was filled with noise.
But…
At that moment, Chi Weiyang could hear nothing but the heavy breathing of the man beside her.
And his angry roar.
"What are you daydreaming about? If I had come a little later, this shelf would have knocked you out by now!"
Fu Yichen had a stern face and looked very fierce.
Chi Weiyang's eyelashes trembled, and moisture immediately spread over her eyelashes. The two of them were so close, and his body temperature made her feel so greedy. However, she had to force herself to be more sober.
When he suddenly saw her tears, Fu Yichen was stunned and his heart ached.
Only then did he realize that he was too excited just now and probably scared her. He suppressed his emotions a little and then spoke again: "Don't cry, I'm not scolding you. I'm just... just worried about you. You're pregnant now."
When he spoke again, even his voice was much softer.
Chi Weiyang smiled bitterly, clenched his hands at his sides, and his fingertips turned white.
"Pregnant woman? Just now, if I had still stood there, the child... would have been gone, right?"
Fu Yichen lowered his head and looked at her expression, as if he was considering the purpose of her question. But she kept her head down and never raised it. After a while, he suddenly understood, and his heart sank. His lips trembled for a moment, and then he asked awkwardly: "You... regret it?"
“…” Her breathing became a little heavier.
His eyes were red, "Now you don't want this child anymore?"
Chi Weiyang didn't answer, she was having a hard time. She pushed him away and went to check out with the fruit. The supermarket was in a mess, the cashier came back and hurried to pay the bill, Fu Yichen took out the money and handed it over.
She didn't refuse and accepted it with a clear conscience. When he paid the bill, she took the fruit and left first.
Fu Yichen turned around and followed him. The cashier behind him hurriedly called him, "Sir, you haven't got your change yet!"
"No need to change!" He said, put away the wallet and quickly followed.
"Weiyang! Stop!"
"Don't follow me." Chi Weiyang felt so bitter that he didn't even turn his head.
However, Fu Yichen had long legs and big steps, so he caught up with her in a moment. He lowered his head to look at her, and naturally wanted to take the fruit from her hand. Chi Weiyang was stubborn and refused to give it to him, and the two of them struggled, and the fruit scattered all over the floor.
When she saw the fruits rolling everywhere, she felt a sudden pain in her nose.
He squatted down angrily to pick it up.
Her belly was already bulging, and it was somewhat difficult for her to squat down. However, she refused to ask for his help.
Seeing her stubborn and pitiful appearance, Fu Yichen sighed helplessly, grabbed her hand and pulled her up.
Her eyes were red and she glared at him angrily, "What?"
"Stand on the side of the road."
"None of your business." She was about to squat down again.
Fu Yichen's face became more serious, his eyebrows knitted, and he almost scolded her, "I told you to go to the roadside, so go to the roadside. You are pregnant now, picking up things on the road, do you know how dangerous it is?"
That tone...
That look...
Chi Weiyang sniffed.
A cool breeze blew by, and in a trance, it seemed as if I had returned to the past.
In the past, he scolded her like this every time she did something dangerous.
Climb trees, dig out hornets' nests, swim in ponds...
Every time he found her, he scolded her angrily and helplessly.
