Delayed confession

Two children's meals, two chicken wraps, and three corn drinks.

"There's nothing else, just eat what you have."

Xu Weixi looked at the man who had returned and brought back food. He glanced at him in surprise and turned back to greet the two children who were setting up the Great Wall.

"Ranran, Nuonuo, come over and eat something first, then play."

"Mom, mom, hold me."

Nuo Nuo was probably really hungry. When she saw the food in her hand, she immediately started running towards Xu Weixi with her short legs.

Xu Weixi held Nuo Nuo and fed her. Ran Ran was a little older and could eat by herself. She raised her hand to tuck the loose hair on her forehead behind her ears. Gu Mochuan looked at her profile and suddenly felt that this scene was particularly heartwarming.

"Let me feed her, you eat first."

Xu Weixi was coaxing Nuo Nuo to eat more, and when he saw the hand suddenly stretched out to him, he was stunned for a moment. He didn't know what method he used, but in just one morning, the child became very obedient to him. He was still making a fuss just now, but now he was nestling in Gu Mochuan's arms and eating, not making any noise at all.

The sunlight reflected on the man's face, his eyelashes drooped, and his sharp jawline seemed softened. He leaned on the back of the chair, one leg slightly bent, and the other foot resting on the ground. He looked tired and lazy, and looked at the child in his arms with a gentle face. I wonder if you would have thought he was a handsome dad.

Xu Weixi lowered his head and started eating, but the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised.

"Look at other people's husbands, and then look at you. I'm so busy that I need to split my time, and you're still playing with your phone like a big shot."

Maybe their picture was too heartwarming, which made the people around them jealous. A woman in a yellow coat was coaxing her child while eating her meal, while her husband sat there motionless from beginning to end, constantly watching short videos, as if he was at home.

"Are you picking on him because he's so handsome?"

"He is just handsome. He is handsome and loves his wife. What about you?"

"Other people's wives are so beautiful, look at you, you don't even have a waist. Only I don't despise you."

Xu Weixi looked up at the couple who were already pointing at each other and scolding each other, quickly packed up her things, and said to Gu Mochuan,

"let's go."

Seeing Gu Mochuan's puzzled face, I knew that he had never encountered such a thing. He didn't understand that what couples fear most is the involvement of outsiders, no matter whether you have good intentions or not.

"Do you want to get involved in other people's housework? If you do, I'll take Nuonuo away first."

Although Gu Mochuan didn't understand, he saw that everyone around him walked away at the same time, so he immediately said, "I don't want to get involved, let's go."

As soon as the two people left, just as Xu Weixi expected, the couple stopped arguing.

"Hey, Xiaoxi, I'm at the door. Where are you? I'll go find you."

"No, you still need to pay for the ticket to come in. We've almost had enough fun and will be leaving soon."

Xu Weixi hung up the phone and took Nuonuo from Gu Mochuan. The child had already fallen asleep.

"Of course, my sister and I will leave first. See you next time."

"Goodbye."

Gu Mochuan looked at the girl's back, his eyes gradually changing from confusion to determination.

-

The next day, as soon as Xu Weixi entered the office, Wang Lingling grabbed his arm and shook him.

"Wei Xi, we got our salary."

Probably because she had done too much exercise yesterday, she felt sore all over when she got up today. Now that she was shaken, her whole body felt like it was falling apart. She asked with all her strength,

"Isn't it issued during these days every month?"

"This month is different. This month's bonus is special," Wang Lingling said mysteriously, placing the phone in front of her, "It's a lot."

Xu Weixi thought she wanted to show him a text message, but when she took her hand away, she saw the screen saver of her mobile phone. She smiled and asked,

"how much?"

Wang Lingling saw that the atmosphere was almost set, so she stretched out her left hand and waved it in front of her eyes.

"This number."

"Thirty thousand?" Xu Weixi adjusted the frame of his glasses and asked with his head tilted.

"Well, this month is equivalent to three months in the subsidiary. It seems that I made the right decision to come here."

Wang Lingling became more and more excited as she spoke.

"By the way, after get off work this afternoon, everyone is going to Haiyun Building to celebrate. Are you coming?"

"I..." Xu Weixi was about to refuse when a woman in a dark green dress, a socialite in the office, Wu Yunsheng, came over and said,

"Come on, Xiao Xu, it's not good for you to not participate in every event, and today we are the only ones in our office."

Xu Weixi looked at the people in the office, including Lu Yao, who all had obvious smiles on their faces. She felt that it might not be appropriate for her to refuse again, not to mention that there was no one else around. Thinking of this, she nodded.

Haiyun Tower,

A young man in a red modified Tang suit was looking downstairs with a telescope. He suddenly paused, put down his things, and walked downstairs.

"I say, how come you have time to come to my place today?"

Gu Mochuan didn't look back. He supported his chin with one hand and stared straight ahead.

"I heard that the night view here is one of the four major attractions in Xiqiao City."

The man walked to Gu Mochuan, leaning against the corner of the table, his proud eyebrows smiling.

"Of course, there are countless internet celebrities who come to check in with me every day."

"Some of them are really good-looking. The ones with small faces and tiny waists are just this small, just like what they say on TV, the Chu Palace waist?" The man gestured with his hand.

Gu Mochuan watched Xu Weixi stand up slightly to pick up some food, with his white shirt tucked into his jeans, and subconsciously replied,

"Her waist is swaying like a princess."

"Yes, yes, it's the one played by Sun Li..." The man talked for a long time before he realized that the other person's attention was not on him at all. He leaned out of the window to look.

"What are you looking at?"

Following his line of sight, the man soon discovered the secret. His small eyes widened and he uttered a meaningful "oh".

"Looking at beauties, um, he has a sharp eye. Among the women at that table, even though the girl in the white shirt is the most old-fashioned and wears a pair of reading glasses, she still has a charming temperament."

Gu Mochuan retracted his gaze and poured himself a cup of tea, deliberately teasing,

"Oh, you also know about temperament?"

This man was a good friend that Gu Mochuan met when he didn't study hard. Since he was very loyal and his family background was not too bad, they still kept in touch.

"Don't talk bad about me. Although I haven't read much, I'm naturally good at studying beauties."

The man leaned close to his ear and said mysteriously,

"Do you want to meet her? I'll get her WeChat ID for you."

Gu Mochuan rolled his eyes at him.

"Get lost, stay away from her."

The man was also a smart guy. Seeing Gu Mochuan's attitude, he immediately understood and asked, "Why, do you know her? ...Sister-in-law?"

"Not yet." Gu Mochuan touched his nose and said in a low voice.

"Oh, I'll go deliver a fruit plate." The man nodded, rolled his eyes, and slipped out before Gu Mochuan could react.
