Chapter 78: Be There or Be Square
Covering his head with his hands, Zhong Yi felt remorseful, and got an acute headache. He wanted to beat himself up. For more than a year, he flirted with so many stewardesses on purpose just under Xu Youyou’s nose, which had done great harm to his reputation. Now he was in deep regret.
Thinking of his mom’s disdainful eyes when he told her naively that he would pursue a stewardess in the company, Zhong really wanted slap himself hard. If he had known the truth, he wouldn’t have told his family , and Xu Youyou wouldn’t have been hurt by his mom.
Zhong Yi fell asleep soon with his mind in a whirl.
Having slept well last night, Xu Youyou was in a good state today. When she saw You Ze, she said hello somewhat awkwardly.
But he was Shiyao’s husband, and Xu Youyou murmured in the heart, not knowing why she was scared of him.
You Ze showed a standard smile, and went to the washing room to call Shiyao.
“Hi, my husband…”
Through You Ze’s repeated reminding, Shiyao had willingly accepted the address term- ‘husband’. The Adam’s apple of You Ze vibrated, and his attractive voice just caught Shiyao’s heart.
“I miss you. My wife.”
Stretching, Shiyao put down the book in hand, and looked at the clock on the wall.
“You’ve been at work just for 2 hours…”
“So what? I miss you the minute I’m apart with you.”
Shiyao rubbed her ears. Was Mr. You acting like a spoiled child before her?
“You’re honey-mouthed… Well, what’s matter now?”
You Ze thought for a second, not knowing how to explain to Shiyao.
“Eh… Can Zhong Yi go with us for the dinner you treat your friend to? Or I’ll be bored…”
Having thought for quite a while, You Ze found a fairly sensible reason.
Shiyao hesitated for a second, and laughed out.
“Just for this? Of course. Youyou should know Captain Zhong too. Since we’re in the same company, we’re friends.”
“OK, I’ll pick you up after work.”
“OK, I’ll wait for you.”
It was not until quite a long while later that You Ze hung up with reluctance. Sensing that he became more and more attached to his little wife, You Ze shook his head helplessly.
Shiyao hung up, and checked house rental information on the her phone. The moment she came back from her mom’s house last time, she got the idea. Now that her uncle had returned, the house was too small for them, and the surroundings were not satisfactory as well. Therefore, she was looking for a bigger one, and would let her mom and uncle move in. Besides, they could get rid of the troublemaking Qins.
Suddenly, a WeChat message popped out.
“Who?”
It was a stranger who wanted to be her WeChat friend. Shiyao sent out a question mark, and got a response soon.
“How’s your wound?”
Shiyao was in a daze for a second because few people knew she had got injured. “You’re?”
“I’m your doctor. Mr. You got the medicine from me.”
“Ah, it’s the doctor. Thank you for your attention. Your medicine is very effective, and my wound heals quickly.”
“Um, that’s good.”This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
After the simple communication, Shi Yao just ignored him, and the guy didn’t send her any more message either.
Shi Yao went on to pick out houses for her mom without thinking much.
Looking at the phone screen, Xing Shenzhi smiled. What an interesting girl!
At 4 pm, Shiyao began to choose a restaurant for dinner. You Ze had intended to make an arrangement for her, but Shiyao insisted on doing it by herself to express her sincerest apology to Xu Youyou.
“Shunxing Yuan, No. 63, Wenfeng Road. See you at 8 in the evening!”
Having sent the address to You Ze and Xu Youyou, Shi Yao began to pick out clothes happily.
She even bought a necklace online for Youyou as a gift to show her apology. Shiyao was always so sweet to her friends.
You Ze sent the address to Zhong Yi, but he felt somewhat uneasy, because he was worried that Shiyao might notice something abnormal. He was really afraid the girl might get angry.
When Zhong Yi got off the plane, it was already 7 o’clock. Seeing the message from You Ze, he smiled. He had been in the same flight with Xu Youyou, therefore he caught sight of the girl as soon as he got off.
Seeing her on the run every day on the plane with a baby inside her body, Zhong Yi couldn’t help cursing himself.
You Ze was held tightly by Shiyao in arms the moment he walked into the house.
“Come to get changed!” Shiyao took out a suit of blue-black casual clothes, which matched well her sky-blue skirt.
“You’re so sweet, my darling.” You Ze took the clothes with satisfaction. Shiyao helped him take off his coat with her face flushing.
She must take everything into account, since it was far more than treating a friend to dinner. Now that Shiyao had decided to take You Ze along with her, it meant she had got well-prepared to introduce him to Xu Youyou. They wouldn’t conceal their marriage any more. Having thought over for a long time, Shiyao made a decision that she wouldn’t get her own way as Mrs. You, but she wouldn’t conceal her identity deliberately either.
“How about it?”
Shiyao pulled You Ze to a mirror. A tall and straight man just stood behind a pretty girl. The two looked even more matched with the clothes of the similar colors.
“Yes. It looks good!”
You Ze lowered his head to kiss Shiyao. He didn’t let the girl go, and kept kissing the girl with love till he got satisfied.
“You ruined my make-up!” Shiyao yelled in annoyance.
“No, you still look beautiful!”
Shiyao cast a glare at him, and took on a pair of new shoes.
“A’ze, can I get out of the wheelchair today? I just want to be with you like this.”
Shiyao got intoxicated with their looks in the mirror. They looked well matched, and she couldn’t turn her eyes away. She didn’t want to sit in a wheelchair.
“No!” You Ze replied strictly with a frown.
“Can’t we have a talk? Darling…” Shiyao looked at him with eagerness.
“Just see how beautiful I am today. I promise I won’t run about. Anyway we’ll be seated all the time while eating…”
You Ze gave in finally to the girl who kept on pleading. But he demanded that he carry Shiyao in arms whenever she had to walk.
Xu Youyou sent back an emoji of ‘OK’ to Shiyao. She stood by a road to take a taxi with her body wrapped in a coat. It was already June, but she still felt cold.
Beep…
A black car stopped in front of her. Xu Youyou looked around, and she was the only one there.
“Hello, Miss Xu. Our Lady sends me to pick you up.”
The driver got off the car, and spoke to Xu Youyou with respect.
“Lady? Oh, thank you.”
Having realized that he referred to Shiyao finally, she opened the door and sat in the back.
“Why are you here!”
She got shocked by the guy beside her the moment she closed the door. It was the first time for Zhong Yi to dress in such a serious way. He had always dressed himself exaggeratedly with big sunglasses, but today he kept a low profile.
