Depressed wife runs with the ball

Back at the villa, Zhou Xingzhi stood at the entrance and wanted to kiss her, but Chu Yue covered her stomach and said, "Baby is hungry, eat first." Mainly because Aunt Tian was still there.

"Baby, isn't it just the size of your thumb?" After finishing his meal with her, Zhou Xingzhi picked up the phone. It was full of calls from the old man and several senior executives from the investment department. He didn't even need to answer the phone to know that the old man was urging him to go back to the hospital to see Li Wanyun, and the people from the investment department were urging him to call Li Wanyun back to the company to make a decision.

Chu Yue sneezed while sitting on the sofa, and he covered her with a blanket. "Did you go out to get some fresh air today?"

The aunt who was cleaning up in the kitchen called out, "Auntie Tian, ​​please help me make some ginger soup, but don't put any brown sugar in it."

"Aren't you in a hurry to go back to the hospital? I have my aunt here with me."

Zhou Xingzhi thought that his aunt would also be going back with the car soon, and she would be the only one in the villa, and his heart began to lift again. He sat down next to her, hugged her and said, "Auntie will go back with the car later. Remember to lock the door when you are alone, and be careful when you sleep at night."

After drinking the ginger soup, Auntie Tian also finished cleaning up. Chu Yue stood at the entrance to see them off, and Auntie tactfully went to wait outside the courtyard gate.

"Have you not slept for a few hours these days? You haven't even shaved cleanly." Chu Yue hugged him and said goodbye to him.

Zhou Xingzhi touched his chin, feeling a little prickly. "Wait for me to come back tonight." He patted her back gently. They hadn't seen each other for a few days, so today they could only have a quick meal.

Chu Yue just nodded slightly, knowing in his heart that these words were meant to comfort himself.

"Are you scared living here alone?"

She shook her head. Most of the time, she lived alone, but she rarely lived alone after she started dating Zhou Xingzhi.

"I'll try my best to get home." Zhou Xingzhi lowered his head and kissed her hair, feeling reluctant to leave.

"Go ahead, Auntie is still waiting." Chu Yue felt a little sad. They always had to say goodbye.

After letting go, Zhou Xingzhi carefully closed the door, stood at the door and thought for a while, then opened the door again, hugged her in his arms and kissed her.

After several minutes, he let her go and said, "Wait for me at home." Then he gently wiped the corner of her mouth with the tip of his thumb.

After Chu Yue nodded, he left.

Everyone had left, and she was the only one left in this huge villa. It was eerily quiet.

She was not in the mood to paint. After taking a shower, she sat on the sofa and watched TV. She did not pay attention to what was on TV. She felt really bored, so she went back to the study to read.

On the bookshelf in the study are Zhou Xingzhi's books on management and economics, and on the other side are his favorite art books, neatly arranged.

The study was a bit cold, so she went to the cloakroom to put on a coat, and went back to the bedroom to sleep with a copy of "Three Hundred Years of Floating Life".

I don’t know what time Zhou Xingzhi came back, but I know that when he heard the noise downstairs, he was very scared, so he grabbed the Apple pencil on the bedside table and went downstairs barefoot.

Seeing the figure hanging clothes with his back to him, he tentatively called out, "OK?"

Zhou Xingzhi turned around and saw her thin figure and frightened expression in the darkness. He hid at the corner of the stairs, his eyes fixed on her bare feet.

"Did you get scared?" Looking at the time, she should be fast asleep at this hour.

The pen in her hand fell to the ground, and Chu Yue threw herself into his arms. Zhou Xingzhi picked her up, turned on the light, went upstairs, and asked gently and warmly: "Didn't you say you weren't afraid? You're wearing so little, not even shoes. Didn't you sleep well?"

"Yeah. It's all because of you that I'm so spoiled." Although she was woken up, she was in an unusually good mood.

"I'll accompany you after I take a shower." He returned to the bedroom, covered her with a blanket, looked at the heater, and turned it up two degrees.

"What time is it?" Chu Yue grabbed his wrist and looked at his watch. It was 2:24 in the morning.

"Your hands are so cold, put them back under the quilt. Are your feet cold?" He then stepped back to the end of the bed and touched her ankles, which were also cold.

"Hehe, it's itchy." Chu Yue retracted her feet, pulled the quilt under her neck, and watched him walk from the foot of the bed back to the head of the bed with a smile.

"Go to sleep. I'll be here after I take a shower." He turned off the light strip under the bed, leaving only the bedside lamp on. He brushed away the loose hair on her forehead and kissed her on the forehead.

Chu Yue closed her eyes and felt happy when she heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom.

Zhou Xingzhi was very careful when he went to bed, for fear of waking her up. Chu Yue followed his breath and hugged him, constantly rubbing against his arms.

"Have you not slept well these days? Where's the baby?" He touched her belly along her body.

"Baby misses daddy, and I miss you too." Chu Yue finally smelled the familiar scent of white pine after rain on him.

"Yueyue, I may be very busy recently and can't come back to accompany you every day. I hope you don't believe some rumors."

"Yeah, I understand." Chu Yue's eyelids gradually became heavier.

In the end, she only heard Zhou Xingzhi say one sentence: "I miss you too."

In recent days, I only slept a little better last night, and I also fell asleep in the morning. When I woke up, Zhou Xingzhi had already left.

Auntie Tian was packing her things in her room on the first floor. According to Mr. Zhou's instructions, she was going to stay at home to take care of the pregnant Chu Yue. When she heard the news of Chu Yue's pregnancy, she was very happy and came over early in the morning with a few changes of clothes.

"Auntie Tian, ​​is this home care giving you any trouble?" Chu Yue subconsciously felt that Auntie, who was running back and forth between the office and home all day, was willing to do so because she didn't want to live at home. This time, living at home was all because of him, and he was the one who made her do something she didn't want to do.

"How do you say it's causing trouble? Mr. Zhou specifically instructed me to do so." Aunt Tian saw her going downstairs to have breakfast, so she came out of the room and told her to eat breakfast quickly.

"What did you say?" Chu Yue was curious.

"Tell me to take good care of you, don't let you go hungry, and eat three meals a day on time." Aunt Tian recalled what Zhou Xingzhi said in the car last night. He told her not only about three meals a day, but also about reporting to him every day about Chu Yue's mood, daily routine, and what she was mainly doing.

It’s just that it’s not easy to say these words to Chu Yue, as it will affect her mood.

On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, a worker at the construction site of the real estate project that Zhou Jihuai was in charge of threatened to jump off the building. The project was located in Longdu.

For this purpose, Zhou Xingzhi called the real estate company's president, Zhou Jihuai, and the project manager to the group for a meeting, and Zhou Kecheng was also there.

According to Zhou Jihuai, the worker had to resort to this method to demand payment because the contractor had deducted part of his salary and he had not been able to get it.

The real estate company has paid the full amount of the project funds to the construction company, and the construction company has also paid the full amount to the construction team. The contractor means that the worker worked for three days and slacked off for two days, and his salary was deducted because of absenteeism.

Zhou Xingzhi wanted to reduce the social impact first, while Zhou Jihuai said that he had asked Li Wanyun's parents for help. They had informed them that no media in Longdu would report the matter extensively for the time being.

Zhou Kecheng nodded to show his appreciation.

It's ironic that the Li family knew about it faster than he, the president, knew about it.

The old man saw the value of the Li family and asked Zhou Xingzhi to comfort Li Wanyun who was threatening to commit suicide.

It was already March when Chu Yue realized that she was locked up in this villa. Aunt Tian accompanied her to the hospital for a prenatal check-up, and the baby was already 8 weeks old.

She started to have morning sickness and was still as sleepy as ever. Aunt Tian always advised her to get more rest, and Zhou Xingzhi would occasionally stay at the villa for a few nights.

Chu Yue's paintings became more and more abstract, and he was in a bad mood. What he did most was to make phone calls to his teacher.

She never doubted Zhou Xingzhi's sincerity towards her, but she hated being a bird in a cage.

Just like the famous painting "The Awakening of Conscience" in the book I was reading.

She reasoned that perhaps her idleness was causing her to overthink things. Zhou Xingzhi had simply told her to rest at home for a while, not to stop her from leaving the house. Simply staying home, waiting for him to return, seemed to be her only hope. This feeling, combined with the various symptoms of pregnancy, made her increasingly anxious.
