When she reached home, it was after 10 pm. After washing up, Cheng Mo called her. Xia Mang wanted to talk about Ye 'zi. She had just returned from Ye' zi's house, and the pressure and powerlessness of reality made her want to talk to someone. However, she gave up on it after thinking about it. She didn't want Cheng Mo to think that she was hinting at something by borrowing Ye 'zi.
Cheng Mo had always been short on the phone with Cheng Mo, so he was used to speaking succinctly. In the past, when he called, he would ask about what time he would arrive and where he would eat. This time, he had been in City H for a week, so he was at least a little more talkative. However, it was not as thick as the usual relationship between lovers, let alone talking on the phone.
"Did you go to the bar?" Xiamang was trying to find something to say, but after he finished speaking, he realized that he was a little nervous about the answer. Even though she had already accepted Cheng Mo and decided to love him properly, she still minded. After all, what happened when they first met was enough for most people to deny that Cheng Mo was a 'good man'.
However, if she judged Cheng Mo as a bad man, then could she also prove that she was not a good woman? On one hand, Xia Mang was a little worried about Cheng Mo, but on the other hand, she didn't think she was a bad woman.
"Will Sammy find me guilty if I go?”There was a teasing tone in his voice.
Xia Mang wanted to say no, but he suddenly fell silent. Thinking about Xu Wenhao and Chu Ning, he panicked.
"It seems that you won't believe me if I tell you that I'm the same as you, and that it was my first time at the bar.”From the sound of it, it sounded like he was half-joking.
"If that's the case, wouldn't I be able to buy sports lottery tickets?”Xiamang smiled, but she did not agree with him." I know my limits. I don't have the charm to make people break their vows on their first meeting!”
Cheng Mo smiled happily on the other end of the phone and didn't say anything for a long time. Xia Mang couldn't help but feel annoyed. Just as she was about to hang up, she suddenly heard a voice from the other end."Do you like desserts?"
"Uh…what is it!" Xia Mang couldn't stand the speed at which someone changed the topic.
"I like double-skinned milk. I'll be back this weekend.”As usual, it was a matter of course.
"Why!" The last time he let her learn how to cook, she hadn't even mastered it yet, and now he wanted her to learn how to make desserts. What kind of person was he? He was so rich. If he liked desserts, wouldn't he spend a little money to buy them?
"You are my girlfriend."
"Uh…what is this? The law didn't say that a girlfriend had to make dessert for her boyfriend.”That bastard Cheng Mo, his girlfriend wasn't a maid.
" Sammy..." The voice was so gentle that it made Xiamang's hair stand on end.
"Alright, alright, I'll poison you to death when the time comes!”Xia Mang surrendered. She really couldn't stand Cheng Mo's deliberate gentleness." I'm going to sleep. Good night."”
Xia Mang was still thinking about the double-skinned milk when she nestled into bed. Cheng Mo was really good with his words. Of all the desserts, he insisted on eating double-skinned milk. It was easy to make ordinary milk tea or jelly with jelly powder. In the past, Mother Xia often used jelly powder to make jelly ice in the refrigerator in the summer. However, that was many years ago. Now, when Xia Mang saw the red and green jelly, the first thing that came to her mind was the color. She had lost her appetite.
When she woke up the next morning, her head was dizzy. She was busy with work and had forgotten about the double skinned milk. After asking about Ye 'zi's condition and knowing that she would have a good talk with Lin Ran tonight, Xia Mang persuaded her and relaxed a little. He had to work overtime at night, so he naturally skipped it.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was Friday. Xia Mang had been so busy these past few days that he had forgotten about Cheng Mo's return, let alone the double skinned milk. Xiamang got off work at around eight o'clock and went downstairs while stroking her flat stomach. When she saw the ostentatious Ferrari, she cried out," Oh no!" She turned around and hurriedly ran back to her office. She hurriedly turned on her computer and searched for the recipe for double-skinned milk. She printed it out with pictures and read it three times. She only went downstairs after she had a rough idea of what to do.
"Why didn't you call first? Why did you wait so long?”Xiamang pretended that she had just seen him and spoke very gently when she got into the car.
"Did you leave something behind?" Cheng Mo turned to look at Xia Mang and smiled.
"Uh, I don't think so." Xiamang rummaged through her bag. Her wallet, phone, and keys were all there.
Cheng Mo turned around and started the car. The corners of his mouth widened. He was still puzzled. Xiamang had already seen him when she came downstairs, so why did she suddenly run back in a panic? She only came back after a while. When she was rummaging through her bag to make sure she hadn't left anything behind, he caught a glimpse of the few pieces of paper stuffed in her bag and the pictures on them. He immediately understood everything.
"Uh, why are we going to your house?" Xiamang asked as the car drove straight to Repulse Bay.
"Of course I have to go home after coming back from a business trip.”He spoke as if he was a good man who lived at home.
"I haven't had dinner yet."
"Coincidentally, I'm hungry too."
Cheng Mo smiled. Xia Mang turned to look at him and felt that his smile had a deeper meaning. Recalling what happened last time, his face couldn't help but heat up. He pretended to be angry and said,"Hey, don't think about making me cook again!”
"We can order takeout for dinner, but Sammy has to make desserts.”
"Cheng Mo!" Xiamang couldn't take it anymore. She had never seen someone so good at ordering people around.
"We're here." A certain someone stopped the car and got out of the car with a smile. He even opened the car door for Xia Mang like a gentleman and held her hand as they entered the house.
Xiamang was also unconscious at first, but when she entered the room, she realized that someone was still holding her hand. She hurriedly waved her hand and said anxiously,"Let go, let go."
"Sammy..." That especially gentle voice sounded again.
Xia Mang used her other hand to slap Cheng Mo's hand that refused to let go. She blurted out,"Cheng Mo, you better be pure!"
"Pure?" Cheng Mo let go of his hand and couldn't keep his smile.
Xia Mang's face darkened. He felt that he must have lost his mind. How could he say that he was pure to the person in front of him? However, Cheng Mo was really innocent for once. He didn't have any other ideas and called for takeout first.
Cheng Mo had just ordered takeout when Xia Mang's phone rang. Xiamang turned on his phone. It was a message from Ye Zi. It was just a few words,'Accompany me tomorrow,' but it gave Xiamang an ominous feeling.
" Ye 'zi..." Xia Mang hesitated for a long time before calling Ye' zi. There was silence on the other end of the phone. Xiamang waited for a while before asking tentatively," What's wrong, Ye?”
"I broke up with Lin Ran." Her voice was nasal, as if she had just finished crying.
"Where are you? Home?" Xiamang stood up in a panic.
There was silence on the other end of the phone. Xia Mang quickly hung up and pulled Cheng Mo to say anxiously," Send me to Ye 'zi's apartment."
"Sammy?" Although he could guess that something had happened to Ye Zi from the phone call just now, he still felt a little upset. Xiamang had never been so nervous about him.
Cheng Mo, who had finally been ordered around, drove the car to Ye 'zi's apartment. Xia Mang hurriedly jumped out of the car and ran to the stairs to press the anti-theft door bell without even greeting him.
At night, Ye 'zi's communication with Lin Ran failed. Ye' zi told Lin Ran all the grievances she had suffered along the way. After all, she still had a little woman's heart. Those things that could have been tolerated were magnified infinitely at this time, and they all became reasons for dissatisfaction. Lin Ran was silent as he listened. Ye 'zi wished that he could comfort her or speak gently. That was all she wanted. However, Lin Ran's personality had always been like this. He was silent and reticent, especially when it came to relationships. In the past, when the two of them had conflicts, Lin Ran was also silent. He would not comfort others or please Ye' zi. He only kept silent and pretended that nothing had happened when Ye 'zi called him again.
However, the conflict this time was not just about the relationship between the two of them or the trivialities of their daily lives. The focus of the conflict was family problems. This kind of question was the most hurtful to the relationship. The two of them refused to give in for a moment. Ye 'zi became angrier and blurted out the word " break up." Lin Ran seemed to be angry too. She turned around and left without saying anything.
"Ye 'zi, why are you saying this out of anger? It's very hurtful."
"I'm not saying this out of anger, Sammy. If he can't solve these problems, we'll really break up. Since the two of us have decided to be together, we have to live a decent life. I don't want to quarrel about his family every day after we get married. It'll be too late if we get tired of it and regret it.”
" Ye 'zi..." Ye' zi had always planned better than her and knew what she wanted better.
Xiamang had thought that Ye 'zi would accompany her to shop and eat at the beach tomorrow, but she did not expect Ye' zi to accompany her to the hospital.
Ye 'zi hit the jackpot when her relationship with Lin Ran was in danger.
During the check-up, Xia Mang was even more embarrassed than Ye Zi. Seeing that the gynecologist was either a middle-aged woman or a very young girl, Xia Mang's face burned. Xia Mang was even more nervous than Ye Zi when she was waiting for the test report. Her heart was beating wildly. Actually, Xiao Linghui was in the hospital. They could have asked him to avoid the pain of queuing, but Ye 'zi's matter was too awkward. It was better to keep it a secret. From the registration to the test report, they queued all the way. When the two of them got the results, it was already past noon.
"You should discuss it with Lin Ran.”This kind of thing was already common. If it wasn't for the fact that Ye 'zi and Lin Ran's relationship had changed, they would have gotten married in a hurry.
"Let me think." Leaf's spirit was getting worse and worse.
Xia Mang was silent. She pulled Ye 'zi's hand a little harder. She couldn't decide anything for Ye Zi. What she could do was to support Ye Zi and accompany her when she made a decision.
The weather was already very cold, but there were still no signs of snow. There was even the sun today. The warm winter sun was especially nostalgic. The two of them walked out. After passing through the large garden in the courtyard, they could leave the courtyard. Xia Mang lowered her head in deep thought. She could imagine Ye 'zi's conflicted feelings. When she thought of the predicament she was facing now and her intimate relationship with Cheng Mo, she suddenly felt a little terrified.
"Xia Zi…"
The familiar address and voice stunned Xia Mang. A handsome man in a blue striped hospital gown was sitting in the wheelchair. To be precise, he was not handsome anymore, but had lost weight. There was also a deep red scar on the bridge of his nose.
Then, it was Chu Ning, who was pushing the wheelchair. He was wearing maternity clothes, and his belly was already very obvious.
Xiamang tightened her grip on the leaf and subconsciously bit her lip.
"I'll wait for you outside." Ye 'zi patted Xia Mang's hand gently with her other hand. She looked up at Chu Ning, sized him up, and said angrily," You're Chu Ning, right? Come out with me."”
Chu Ning was stunned. He looked at Ye Zi and then at Xia Mang, but he refused to let go. Swordswoman Ye returned to her original position. She walked a few steps forward, grabbed Chu Ning's hand, and pulled her away from the scene. Only Xiamang and Xu Wenhao were left in the wheelchair.
"Are you alright?"
"Are you sick?"
The two of them asked at the same time, followed by a long period of silence.
"Are you sick? It's not serious, right?”
The concerned voice was still there, and even the nervous and distressed tone was as usual. Xia Mang looked at the deep scar on his nose and felt a twinge in her heart. She almost could not help but want to walk up to him and reach out to touch it. Clenching his fists tightly, his long nails dug into the softness of his palms. Xia Mang held back the pain in his heart and shook his head. He tried his best to be calm as he said,""Rest well and recover soon. Goodbye.”
After saying that, he walked forward without looking back. Xia Mang did not seem to hear the "Xia Zi" behind him.
