Depressed wife runs with the ball

There was a lamp on by the bed, and the room was dimly lit. I couldn't see the expression on his face, but I could hear his tone sound a little lonely.

"afraid of what?"

"I'm afraid you'll leave me. I feel like you didn't agree to date me in the first place because you liked me. You agreed because you didn't want me to acquire Qucho and wanted to preserve Ji Yan's livelihood. That's why I hate Ji Yan. I also have a bit of a self-esteem complex. I always feel like you, as an art student, would look down on money-grubbing businessmen. I'm afraid someone will appear by your side who shares your artistic attainments, who can understand your paintings, and who can handle any emotion you throw out."

"So you're going to tell them not to contact me? To keep me within your sight?"

"Well, I want to hide you away. You belong only to me, and no one can disturb us."

"Zhou Xingzhi, this isn't love, it's possession. You can't do this. Everyone is independent, and you need to learn to let go and exercise restraint. I didn't ask you to stop contacting Xiaokai, Weizhen, Jiahui, and the others, right? Besides, I didn't even stop you from bringing soup to Li Wanyun."

"So, doesn't liking someone mean possessing her, wanting results, and being her only one?"

"That's ridiculous." Chu Yue turned over and looked at the ceiling. "To love someone, you have to learn to let go and exercise restraint, and allow them to be themselves. What a partner can do is support them, both mentally and materially."

Zhou Xingzhi gently placed his warm hand on her belly, feeling the tiny vitality of their little life. "Baby, did you hear what your mother said? Love is about letting go and restraint. You have to be good and don't bother your mother. Yueyue, let's wait until the Civil Affairs Bureau opens to get the certificate, okay?"

"I'm very anxious. Will your parents disagree? Jin Yue hasn't come back yet."

Chu Yue started to get anxious when the topic of marriage came up, and her first reaction was to refuse. "Then let's go to the hospital tomorrow to check? To see the baby? Where's the report? Let me see it?"

"After I got the report, I was angry and anxious, so I tore it up. Turn off the lights and go to sleep!"

Zhou Xingzhi turned off the bedside lamp, and Chu Yue got up to go to the bathroom. When she came out of the bathroom, he was standing at the door, which scared Chu Yue so much that she almost jumped up, her heart almost jumping into her throat.

"I'm afraid of accidents. Is the bathroom floor slippery? Should I have it replaced after the Chinese New Year? Also, do I need to take some folic acid and calcium supplements? I just checked on my phone, but no, I'm not sure. I'll see a gynecologist tomorrow. Do I need to buy more..."

As Zhou Xingzhi spoke, he raised his phone to show her what he had found.

"Oh, I think you are more anxious than me. The most important thing now is to sleep!" Chu Yue climbed onto the bed to sleep, and Zhou Xingzhi also lay down on the bed.

Early in the morning on the second day of the Chinese New Year, Zhou Xingzhi got up and made a table full of breakfast. He didn't even grind the coffee. He just warmed up the milk and called Xin Jiahui to make an appointment with a gynecologist.

"What? Sister Xiaoyue is pregnant?" On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Xin Jiahui had just returned home from a late night shift and was talking nonsense in a daze.

Zhou Xingzhi hummed calmly. This hum startled Xin Jiahui out of her tiredness. As far as she could remember, the two of them weren't married yet. Old Master Zhou looked down on such things. She lowered her voice and asked, "Are you going to abort them?"

"Pfft, pfft, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"So what time will you arrive at the hospital? I'll ask Director Xu." She mainly wanted to go there to join in the fun. If Su Weikai and Weizhen knew this news, they would be furious.

"In the afternoon." He looked at the watch on his hand. She hadn't gotten up yet. After getting up and having breakfast, it wouldn't be far from noon. It would be better to wait until she finished her nap before setting off.

But when Chu Yue woke up, she only saw breakfast on the table. Zhou Xingzhi was no longer at home. She thought he was just out for a while, so she didn't ask. But this time, when she received his call, it was already the fifth day of the New Year.

If Chu Yue remembered correctly, that night, the wind was very strong, and the sound of the water flowing through the rockery outside the French window was freezing cold. On the phone, he said that we might have to separate for a while.

Four days later, his first phone call was about breaking up. Over the four days, she dialed that familiar number countless times, from initial worry to numbness, understanding, and excuses. But when he said he wanted to break up, she tried to calm herself down and calmly asked, "What happened?"

There was a long silence, so long that Chu Yue went from calm to panic. Finally, she replied with a slightly trembling voice, "Okay." Before the other party could reply, she hung up.

They had agreed to talk about anything in person, but since he refused to say it, it meant that this matter couldn't be said. In her heart, the only thing Zhou Xingzhi couldn't say was that Feng Zhi was still upset and Yun Shu's feelings had faded.

Breaking up. It seems Shen Yaolin was the one who initiated the last breakup. Being loved and being hurt are generally complementary.

Zhou Xingzhi stayed at the hospital with Li Wanyun. For several days, Li's parents, Zhou Kecheng, and Li Li took turns visiting. While they were called visits, they were actually keeping Zhou Xingzhi trapped. It wasn't until he called Chu Yue that Li Wanyun finally agreed to let him go.

"I have no hostility towards this Chu Yue. Don't be so nervous." Li Wanyun was lying on the bed. The reason she tied Zhou Xingzhi up was because someone asked her to do so. She had no interest in this Chu Yue, and even had some admiration for her. It was just a pity that in order to destroy Zhou Xingzhi, she could only hurt her.

"What do you mean?" Zhou Xingzhi was in the hospital, his face sullen. He sent a WeChat message to Xin Jiahui, asking her to contact Chu Yue to come to the hospital for a prenatal checkup. Xin Jiahui replied: "Sister Xiaoyue's phone is off."

He was panicking inside, but he had to pretend to be calm.

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Chu Yue rushed to the group and took her water cup, notebook, and iPad home from the president's office, leaving a resignation letter. If she couldn't find Ji Yan, she would go to his mother's nursing home.

Ji Yan didn't squat on Su Ying, but he did. Raising a son is really useless. Su Ying was a little surprised when she saw Chu Yue. The two of them took advantage of Ji's mother's nap to chat downstairs in the nursing home.

The eighth day of the Lunar New Year should have been the day for the market to open, but Chu Yue was in the sanatorium. Zhou Xingzhi wouldn't let her go, so he looked tired and lonely, with dim eyes, and she looked much thinner.

"Have you encountered any problems recently?" Su Ying cracked a walnut for her. "I sent you a WeChat message but you didn't reply."

Chu Yue took the walnuts and ate them bit by bit. "Did Ji Yan break up with his girlfriend again?"

Su Ying nodded. Ji Yan was a scumbag, still obsessed with his college sweetheart. He'd had so many girlfriends, but he still had a lingering relationship with her. She was also a scumbag, but with her conditions, she couldn't find anyone better than Ji Yan.

"Please ask him out for dinner for me. I want to go back to Qucho to work." It was the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, a good day with warm weather. Chu Yue stretched out her hand to block some of the sunlight, which shone directly into her eyes through her fingers.

"Is Zhou Xingzhi willing to release him?"

Su Ying brought the walnuts from home. Her mother grew them, so there weren't many. Her sister didn't like to eat them, so she brought them all here.

"We broke up." Chu Yue had a good sleep in the villa. Breaking up was one thing, and emotions were another. "What???" Su Ying thought she was joking, but looking at her state, it didn't seem like it.

"I was just about to talk to you about this. Do you have time to help me move?"

"Where are you moving to? Didn't you sell the house in Cuiyuan?"

"Move back to the Chu family." She took out a whole walnut, thinking that the baby in her belly would probably only be this big, and she couldn't help but feel sad. "Do you have any more walnuts? Give me some more."

She sniffed, her throat was blocked, tears slid down her lower eyelashes, and she tried to wipe away the hot tears with her cold fingertips, but they wouldn't come away.

"Yueyue...if you want to cry..." Su Ying didn't know how to comfort her and hurriedly put away the walnuts in her hand. "It's okay, it's a breakup. It's not like I haven't broken up before."

Chu Yue knew that Zhou Xingzhi would not say those words for no reason, but when she really heard them, she still felt sad.
