Chapter 46: Unaccountably Anxious and Confused
Lying in bed, Shu Xiao Ai thought carefully and decided that since it had already happened, she wouldn't ask him the reason for his sudden departure without a word, nor would she ask anything else.
She allowed him to enter her world at first, but absolutely would not allow him to come and go in her world unless there was a forgivable reason.
Maybe he didn't expect to see himself either, and was even afraid of mentioning his past relationship with him. It was just his own overthinking. Since he chose to leave without saying goodbye, then it's completely over.
Tonight, Shu Xiao Ai slept soundly.
When she woke up, Zhong Yuchen had already left.
Days like this went by for several days in a row, she got up and he had already left, he finished work and she was already asleep.
Two people did not have the opportunity to meet.
At night, in the dark, he still comes to relieve his physiological needs.
She closed her eyes and cooperated with him.
Two people didn't say a word.
Because the heroine was on holiday for two days, she also didn't have any scenes to shoot, so Shu Xiao Ai decided to go back and visit her father.
Standing in front of his door seems to have become a habit.
"Zhong Yuchen, I'm taking a break for these two days and going home to see my dad. You take care of Dudu while I'm away."
"Hmm." A faint response came back.
Shu Xiao Ai took a look at his back, turned around and went downstairs. When she heard her footsteps leaving, he turned around.
Standing by the window, watching her leave through the gate.
Suddenly feeling anxious and flustered.
He took out his mobile phone and dialed his assistant's number. "Call Song Lin Cang for me, I have a lunch appointment with her at noon."
Then he hung up and walked out of his own door, pushing open her room door.
Dudu jumped out of the cardboard box and happily circled around his feet. Zhong Yuchen bent down to pick him up.
"Boo?"
Dudu stuck out his tongue and licked his face.
He, who had always been a cleanliness freak, didn't move, staring at it, its cute little appearance, and he inexplicably thought of her who had just left.
Shu Xiao Ai felt a bit uncomfortable in her heart. Originally, she could interact with him without any worries, but somehow, she felt that he didn't seem to want to bother with her anymore.
Took two hours by bus and arrived home.
Shu's father went to work, and Shu's mother sat on the sofa watching TV with a big belly. Seeing her return, she naturally didn't have a good expression.
"How did you get back?"
"Come back and see my dad." Shu Xiao Ai's tone was calm and gentle, much less confrontational than before.
Shu Mu saw that she was carrying another bag of fruit in her hand, frowned and said, "Every time you come back, you only buy these cheap things. You can also bring me some money."
Shu Xiao Ai walked over, took out three thousand yuan that she had saved from the past few days on set and handed it to her, "Auntie, this is three thousand yuan. Eat well, you have a child in your belly and need nutrition."
Shu Mu was quite surprised. Since last time, she had discovered that her attitude towards herself had changed, and she didn't expect to take the initiative to pay this time.
Come over, Shu Mu asked with a smile, "Have you eaten?"
"Not yet."
"I'll cook you a bowl of noodles."
Shu Xiao'ai waved her hand, "No need, I'll just cook a bowl of instant noodles."
Shu's mother handed her two salted duck eggs, "Eat."
Shu Xiao Ai nodded and boiled some noodles, waiting for them to soften.
"I heard your dad say that you and Qin Zi Zhen got divorced, and even gave up all the property. How could you be so cheap for him? However, marrying him didn't bring any benefits either. The mother and son are like iron roosters, not willing to part with a single feather. It's better to just get a divorce."
