Depressed wife runs with the ball

After hearing this, Ji Yan found it unbelievable. Neither of them looked like that kind of person, so how could they do such a thing?

"Yueyue, are you short of money?" This was the only reason he could think of.

Chu Yue was almost certain that Ji Yan was guilty. "Short, right? How can you say you're not short of something?"

She spoke carelessly, and every word fell on Ji Yan's heart.

"Child...you want to give birth to it?"

"Well, I won't regret giving birth to the baby." Chu Yue observed this senior brother, from the initial shock, dullness, guilt, to the current irritability.

"Yuer, being a single mother is not easy. Please think it through carefully." Su Ying expressed sympathy.

Chu Yue just looked at Ji Yan and then said, "Shall we go out for dinner together tonight?"

"I have something to do." Ji Yan refused and went back to his office with the teacup.

Zhou Xingzhi sent a WeChat message: [I’ll pick you up after get off work tonight.]

It looked like they would have to eat separately tonight. Su Ying stayed in the office until around four in the afternoon before returning to the bar. Nearing six, Chu Yue looked at the design drafts on the windowsill. Most of them were covered in dust, including many she had designed for Xinghui. A potted cactus, which had been kept closed all year round and out of the sun, was wilting. Chu Yue opened the window and heard Ji Yan's voice on the phone downstairs: "She's pregnant, and the child is Zhou Xingzhi's!"

I don't know what the person on the phone said, and he continued, "Yueyue is a person who can't be persuaded to do what she wants to do. She never plays by the rules." Ji Yan flicked the ash on his hand, seeming to be very anxious. He took a deep puff and exhaled a long smoke ring.

"We agreed that this matter has nothing to do with her. I don't want to hurt her." Ji Yan finally compromised, hung up the phone, and squatted on the ground to smoke. Chu Yue silently closed the window. The senior brother was no longer the senior brother, and Qucho was no longer the Qucho.

Li Wanyun wanted to destroy Zhou Xingzhi, not Chu Yue. His life was too smooth, so smooth that a single word from her could lead people like Zhou Jihuai, Shen Yaolin, and Ji Yan to find her and conspire with her to take over Xinghui.

Zhou Jihuai wants his shares in Xinghui, Li Wanyun wants to be the executive director of Shen Yaolin Technology Company, Ji Yan wants Chu Yue to return to Qucho, and Shen Yaolin wants the Shen family company to return to its original state.

It was already past eight in the evening when they saw Zhou Xingzhi's Maybach after get off work. Counting the time, they hadn't seen each other for only two or three days, yet those two or three days felt so long.

No one was waiting outside the car. It was a long way from the office to the other side of the street, and she took every step carefully. "Yueyue!" Shen Yaolin suddenly got out of a car and blocked her way.

"You...why are you here?" Chu Yue glanced at the Maybach parked across the street before turning back to see her ex-boyfriend, whose cheeks were gradually getting fatter. "I have something to talk to you about. Let's talk in your office."

He wanted to pull Chu Yue back to the office. Chu Yue wanted to cross the street by stepping over his arm, but her body was too small, and her arm was firmly blocking her eyes. "Shen Yaolin, we've broken up!"

"That's why we have to make it clear!" Shen Yaolin was quite large, so lifting Chu Yue was easy, let alone hugging her by the waist. "We've already made it clear between us! Let me go!" Chu Yue slapped the arm that was holding her, looking at the Maybach across the street with some despair.

Zhou Xingzhi couldn't hold back any longer, so he got out of the car, walked quickly across the road, pulled away the dirty hand, and punched Shen Yaolin in the face.

Shen Yaolin was stunned by the blow and took several steps back. Before he could regain his balance, Zhou Xingzhi was furious and was about to grab his wrist and hit him again. Chu Yue quickly pulled him aside and said, "Xingzhi, calm down."

Zhou Xingzhi's fist didn't land on that face after all. He exhaled heavily, let go of Shen Yaolin, turned to Chu Yue and said, "Go home." Chu Yue glanced at Shen Yaolin who was barely standing. There was blood at the corner of his mouth, but his expression was as arrogant as if he had succeeded in doing something bad.

Before he could investigate further, Zhou Xingzhi pulled him into the car. After Uncle Miao started the car, the interior was completely silent. There was no trace of longing for someone who hadn't seen him for several days, only his suppressed and forbearing aura.

What kind of anger is this? He gripped my hand so tightly that it hurt.

"Why is he here?" It was obvious that he was trying his best to be patient, but the tone of his words was still questioning. "I don't know, let go first, you're hurting me." Chu Yue just wanted to pull her palm out of his grasp.

Zhou Xingzhi let go of her hand and found that the ring was gone, which made him even angrier. "Where's the ring?"

"It's too expensive, and I'm afraid it might get scratched or fall off, so I left it at home." Chu Yue took the opportunity to withdraw his hand and rub his sore palm. "I'll wear it when I get home, and buy another if it falls off." Zhou Xingzhi didn't pursue Shen Yaolin's matter anymore. He had been exhausted these past few days and needed a good rest.

He let go of the coldness and leaned back, clutching Chu Yue's hand. His weariness was evident, and the atmosphere in the car also became gloomy. "Xingzhi, if you're tired, you don't have to come pick me up." Chu Yue watched him close his eyes. His beard was still unshaved, and she guessed that he must not have slept well in the past few days.

Zhou Xingzhi raised his eyes slightly, his gaze gradually moving from her pale face to her belly. He shifted his one hand to clasp her palm, and with the other hand, he put his arm around her shoulders, letting her lean against his chest. "It's because I'm tired that I want to see you more."

Chu Yue listened to his heartbeat and gradually calmed down. "Yueyue, do you really have to go see the teacher? I'm worried." Not being able to be with her and not being able to control her whereabouts were the main reasons why he felt tired.

"We still have Yu En, so there's nothing to worry about. I'll be back once you've dealt with the group's affairs, and we'll go to the hospital for a prenatal checkup together."

"What if I don't want you to go? Rest at home for a while and wait until the pregnancy is stable before traveling far. You don't have to stay here with Ji Yan. I'll let Aunt Tian live in the villa as well. You can still paint every day. Isn't that good?"

If she could stay home peacefully, she wouldn't have to worry about anything. "Didn't we agree that after the Lunar New Year I'd go back to Qucho to work? Why are you asking me to stay home again?" Chu Yue felt more and more that what Zhou Xingzhi needed was a well-behaved and obedient partner who would let him control her, and she only seemed to meet all his aesthetic standards.

Wouldn't it be a good thing for a child to have such a controlling father? For the first time, she began to hesitate about whether to keep the child. "I'll have Aunt Tian move in tomorrow, and you stay home." Zhou Xingzhi still refused to give in, and even became more determined to keep her at home.

"Are you worried that Shen Yaolin will come looking for you again?" Chu Yue raised her head, opened her eyes wide and looked at him innocently.

"Yes." Zhou Xingzhi stroked her cheek and bent down to kiss her. It didn't matter whether it was true or not. What mattered was that someone could look after her at home. "Stay at home for the next few days, and we can talk about going to see the teacher in a few days, okay?"

Chu Yue acquiesced and decided to go out after a few days.

Zhou Xingzhi put down the stone in his heart for the time being, and kept her for a while. The temporary loss was enough to make him panic. If they couldn't see each other for a long time, knowing that she was there was also good.

"Have you eaten?" Chu Yue hadn't eaten yet and she had no appetite.

"Not yet. Aunt Tian has prepared it at home. I'll accompany you to dinner before going back to the hospital." Zhou Xingzhi originally wanted to stay there for one night, but his cell phone kept ringing.

"Are you all staying in the hospital?" Chu Yue was a little worried. It would be bad for your health if you kept staying like this.

Thinking she was jealous of Li Wanyun, he thought for a moment and replied, "I'll go back to the company later tonight. If I can make it back, I'll try to get home."
