Depressed wife runs with the ball

Chapter 140 It’s Cold Everywhere

"I'm going to take a shower." Zhou Xingzhi got up from the sofa, straightened his clothes, checked the time, and after taking a shower, he could count down with her. "Xingzhi, can't you let go?" Chu Yue pulled him to sit down again.

"What can't you let go of?"

"You look at Director Li differently today."

Zhou Xingzhi thought she could only feel his joys and sorrows when she was by his side. Could she really tell so much from just one look? "I...I really can't let it all go, and I can't accept sitting back and watching someone commit suicide. But that has nothing to do with love, Yueyue."

"It has nothing to do with love. Can't I just be jealous?"

"Yes, of course. My wife, why not?" He reached out, put his arm around her shoulders, and let her lean against his chest. "I'm pregnant, what should I do?" Chu Yue curled up into a ball, lowering her head to play with her fingers.

The fireworks outside the balcony exploded intermittently, swallowing up her surprise and anxiety. "What?" Zhou Xingzhi didn't hear clearly, but just looked down and saw the ring on her hand.

"I've told you the surprise. If you didn't hear it, you missed it." Chu Yue nestled in his arms and felt less scared when she said it.

Zhou Xingzhi sighed. He didn't hear any surprise and was rejected.

"Didn't you just want to commit suicide and then you couldn't let go?" Chu Yue still remembered that look. How could she not see that he loved her? "Because you were jealous, you didn't want to tell me the surprise a second time?"

"If what you give me is the same as what others give me, then I don't want anything, not even you." Chu Yue stroked his suit collar, feeling depressed. The more brilliant the fireworks outside the window, the more uneasy she felt.

"Silly girl, if it were the same, why would I keep waiting for you?" Zhou Xingzhi touched her head.

Chu Yue lay on his lap and watched the fireworks on the balcony. The fireworks were fleeting. Were they just passers-by in each other's lives?

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Zhou Xingzhi's phone kept ringing early in the morning. In order not to disturb Chu Yue, he got up early, closed the door, and went to the kitchen to answer the phone.

"Mom, what's the matter?"

"Why aren't you at home on New Year's Day? Wanyun's parents said Xiaoyue went to the hospital and made a scene last night? Your dad is still mad, where are you?"

"I'm at home. If you have anything to say, wait until I get home to talk."

"How is Xiaoyue? Is she with you?" Li Li was hiding in the yard and talking to her son on the phone. The old man was now scolding Zhou Jihuai in the study.

"I'm fine, thank you for your concern, Mom." Zhou Xingzhi opened the refrigerator and prepared to make breakfast.

"That's good." Li Li hung up the phone.

"The elder one is a worry to me, and so is the younger one. You two are both good-for-nothings!" The old man was so angry that he slammed the table, and water splashed in the teacup.

"Dad, I just want Anqi to give birth to the baby. What's wrong with that?" Zhou Jihuai couldn't persuade his young model to hit the child. She acted like a spoiled child towards him, but he couldn't bear it. Seeing that the child was getting older, he could only go home and beg the old man.

"What's wrong? The fault is that this child is not from a legitimate family!" Zhou Kecheng would never allow such a thing to happen in the Zhou family, not to mention that Mo Xiaoxiao's family background was not simple. "If you give birth to that child, you will get out of the Zhou family!"

"Dad, how could you agree to Zhou Xingzhi's relationship? I never told you that I like Mo Xiaoxiao, but you insisted that I marry her..."

Before Zhou Jihuai could finish his words, the old man slapped him in the face. Mo Xiaoxiao was standing at the door of the study with a fruit plate.

"Dad, it's New Year's Day, please don't be too angry." Mo Xiaoxiao put down the fruit plate, calmly walked out of the study and closed the door.

"If you can't handle it, I'll do it for you." Zhou Kecheng chose Mo Xiaoxiao because her family relationships were positive and her image was also positive. At least she could help her son get back on the right track, but now he was going further and further astray.

"Zhou Xingzhi, will you treat him like this? I didn't ask you to hand over the group to me. I just want to have a child. Why can't I do that?" Zhou Jihuai was unwilling.

"Don't think I don't know what you've done. If this child dares to be born, I will kick you out of the house!" The old man was furious. Not to mention Zhou Xingzhi, even he, as a father, didn't want this unfilial son.

Zhou Jihuai could only leave in disappointment. Zhou Kecheng called Mo Xiaoxiao to the study and discussed the equity issue of Xinghan Entertainment.

Mo Xiaoxiao and Zhou Jihuai had no emotional foundation at all. She married into the Zhou family just for money. Since the old man was willing to give equity to pay for his good-for-nothing son, she was happy to see it happen.

I don’t know how other people had a good New Year, but Mo Xiaoxiao got the big red envelope she wanted.

Chu Yue didn't sleep well that night. She got up several times to go to the bathroom, had dreams, and was noisy outside. After finally falling asleep, she heard the sound of her cell phone vibrating early in the morning.

After waking up, I couldn't fall asleep, so I crawled up and curled up on the sofa on the first floor. I felt at ease listening to Zhou Xingzhi making breakfast in the kitchen, and then I fell asleep again on the sofa.

When Zhou Xingzhi went upstairs to wake her up, he found her lying on the sofa. He held her ankle and asked, "Are you cold? Why are you sleeping here?"

"It's cold. It's cold everywhere when you're not here." Chu Yue got up and threw herself on him.

"Have you brushed your teeth and washed your face? Are you getting up for breakfast? Did my mom call me just now and wake you up? I made you some coffee, and your aunt said you like the rice noodles. Do you want some?" Zhou Xingzhi held her in his arms like a kangaroo, walked to the bathroom, put her down and let her wash her face and brush her teeth.

"Sooner or later, I'll become disabled because of your care." Chu Yue picked up the toothbrush and brushed her teeth. Zhou Xingzhi rested his head on her shoulder and said, "That's also the most beautiful disabled person."

His phone rang, and he walked out of the bathroom to answer it. It was Mo Xiaoxiao calling. He glanced at Chu Yue, who was brushing her teeth in the bathroom, pressed the answer button, and turned on the speaker.

"Mr. Mo, is there any news?" The voice was light and serious, as if it was expected.

"Thanks to Mr. Zhou, the old man is willing to relent." Mo Xiaoxiao put the New Year's goods in the trunk and prepared to drive over to deliver them to the young couple. "Mom asked me to bring you the soup. I'm afraid you'll have to go to Li Wanyun yourself."

Chu Yue heard the voice and was just confused, but didn't ask. Li Wanyun had to go see him after all. If she disgusted him on New Year's Eve, she wouldn't bother him on New Year's Day.

"Send me the address and I'll send it to you." Mo Xiaoxiao put on sunglasses and drove out.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Xingzhi looked at Chu Yue and said with some embarrassment: "Um... Mr. Mo said he would come over."

"Your sister-in-law? Here to bring you soup?" Chu Yue wiped her hands and sat down to eat breakfast. Zhou Xingzhi moved the coffee in front of her and explained, "My brother's young model is pregnant. To appease Mo Xiaoxiao, my father decided to transfer part of Xinghan's shares to her."

"What does that have to do with you?" Chu Yue looked at the cup of coffee. "I shouldn't drink it now, right?" She picked up her phone and searched: "Can I drink coffee during early pregnancy?"

"It was my idea." Zhou Xingzhi was a little uneasy. If she knew that he was the one planning all these things, she wondered what she would think of him.

Chu Yue gave him a puzzled look and turned off her phone. "Why are you getting involved in these things? Besides, you've always kept your distance from Mr. Mo."

"My brother will cheat sooner or later. He'll find someone in the entertainment industry and make a big deal about it. Only then will my dad take it seriously. Mo Xiaoxiao gets the shares, and my brother gets suppressed. It's a win-win situation, so it's not a losing deal."

Chu Yue thought for a long time before she sorted out what he said. He was saying that he gave Mo Xiaoxiao an idea to find someone to seduce her husband and use the evidence of infidelity to make Zhou Kecheng give her equity.

"Did you just say that young model is pregnant?"

"Well, my brother wants to give birth to this child and told my dad about it. How could the old man allow this to happen?" Zhou Xingzhi said it unintentionally, but the listener took it to heart.

Chu Yue straightened her back and pondered the meaning of this sentence. Not to mention Zhou Kecheng, even her parents would probably scold her if they knew she was pregnant before marriage. She pushed the coffee in front of him and said, "I don't want to eat anymore. I have no appetite."
