Fu Yuan'er put down the phone and stood up, just in time to see Cheng Yiming's car drive out of the Peak Restaurant.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
She came to the back of the restaurant staff dormitory. There was an open space here with some simple fitness equipment. Cheng Muching was sitting on the treadmill.
Cheng Muching sat with her back to Fu Yuan'er, lost in thought.
Fu Yuan'er even walked behind her, but she didn't react at all.
"Don't worry," Fu Yuan'er stood beside her, "Cheng Yiming has left, he probably won't come here anymore."
He peeked at Cheng Zitong's bid, and it was time to go back and work on the new bid.
Cheng Muching came back to her senses, glanced at her blankly, and lowered her head again.
"What happened?" Fu Yuan'er saw that she was worried, "Did Ziyin's test results come out..."
Cheng Muching's eyes flashed slightly, but her face remained calm: "It has nothing to do with you, her results haven't come out yet."
"I just suddenly thought of Yu Hui."
Fu Yuan'er sat down next to her, "What's going on with you and Yu Hui now?"
"I once wanted to hook him up and have sex," Cheng Muching shrugged, "but I didn't succeed."
Fu Yuan'er was stunned for a moment, "He is so determined!"
Hearing this, Cheng Muching smiled: "Are you praising me for my charm?"
"Do I need to say this? When I first saw you, I thought you were as beautiful as a doll."
Cheng Muching felt melancholy over the word "doll", "But I want to be like your friend Yan Yan, who captivates all living beings."
Fu Yuan'er had a sudden thought. She guessed that Cheng Muying should have seen Yan Yan and Yu Hui's lively chat that night.
"...Actually, it's not what you think. She doesn't even have a boyfriend." Fu Yuan'er quickly cleared it up for Yan Yan.
Cheng Muying chuckled lightly, "Don't worry, I won't do anything to Yan Yan. I used to think that Yu Hui didn't like women, but Yan Yan made me understand that he just doesn't like women like me."
Such depressing words came out of Cheng Muching's mouth, which inexplicably made Fu Yuan'er feel distressed.
"You will find the man who likes you." She could only comfort her like this.
Cheng Muching stood up and said, "Let's go eat."
She didn't invite Fu Yuan'er either. Fu Yuan'er originally wanted to go with her, but she saw Cheng Zitong walking towards the restaurant from afar, so she paused.
While Cheng Zi was eating with her, she quickly packed her things and left.
"Good morning, Mr. Cheng, what would you like to eat?" Cheng Zitong walked into the restaurant, and the waiter immediately greeted him politely.
Cheng Zitong was in a happy mood and rarely thought about what he was going to eat. At this time, a cold female voice sounded from behind.
"Just give him a glass of boiled water. What else does he want to eat?"
Cheng Muying strode past him, sat down at a dining table, and stared at Cheng Zitong coldly.
Cheng Zitong's eyes moved slightly, and he motioned the waiter to leave with his eyes, and sat down in front of Cheng Muying.
"What's the matter?" he asked.
Cheng Muching slapped a test result sheet on the table and cursed with contempt: "Hypocrite, beast!"
Cheng Zitong glanced at the test sheet. It was Ziyin's pregnancy test sheet, with "positive" written on it.
There was no change in his expression.
Cheng Muching hummed, "You're not surprised at all. Did you already know this?"
"Whether she is pregnant or not has nothing to do with me." Cheng Zitong said calmly.
"You dare to say that this child is not yours?"
"I don't need to explain to you."
"Okay, then you just have to figure out how to explain it to Fu Yuan'er!" Cheng Muching stood up and left.
number of days
Tong was still sitting there motionless, with a terrifyingly cold expression on his face.
Cheng Muching ran to the stargazing room in one breath and saw Fu Yuan'er walking out to leave.
Seeing Cheng Muying running over panting, she looked confused: "What happened?"
"Fu Yuan'er..." Cheng Muying just opened his mouth, and out of the corner of his eye, Cheng Zitong was approaching.
She originally wanted to tell the test results, but the arrival of Cheng Zitong made her change her mind instantly.
It's useless to say it now, she has to take Fu Yuan'er to catch the scene.
"...I just want to ask you, can I leave here?" Cheng Muching said.
Fu Yuan'er was slightly stunned: "Aren't you afraid that Murong Jue will find you?"
"That's almost it. She won't trouble me anymore." After saying that, Cheng Muching turned and left.
"Wait a moment, I'll go out with you." Fu Yuan'er caught up with Cheng Muying.
She also saw Cheng Zitong coming over and her cheeks couldn't help but turn red, but she didn't want to talk to him.
"Where to go?" However, before she could run a few steps, her arm was grabbed by him.
He came over so quickly.
"Go back to the company." She wanted to break away from his hand.
"I have something to tell you." Cheng Zitong did not let go.
Hearing this, Cheng Muching stopped, turned around, crossed his arms, and stared at Cheng Zitong as if he were watching a show.
She wanted to see what Cheng Zitong wanted to say to Fu Yuan'er and how to say it.
"Zi Yin is pregnant." Cheng Zitong said it directly.
Cheng Muching was stunned.
Fu Yuan'er was startled for a moment before she understood the meaning of his words. She had been paying attention to this matter, but when he suddenly told her that Zi Yin was really pregnant, she didn't know how to react.
"The child is not mine." He continued, still in a calm tone, as if he was talking about the weather.
Fu Yuan'er reacted and her eyes turned red involuntarily.
Cheng Zitong's heart tightened and he immediately stretched out his arms to hug her.
He placed a heavy kiss on her hair and his voice became softer: "Believe me, I will not let other women have my child."
His tenderness injected a warm current into her heart, melting her grievances and turning them into tears that kept rolling out.
She didn't know whether to trust him or not, but at this moment, she was particularly dependent on him.
Cheng Zitong picked her up and walked forward.
Cheng Muching wiped her sweat secretly, imagining that there should be a fight here, but instead she was fed a mouth full of dog food.
If the child on the test report is not Cheng Zitong, who can tell her who handled it?
As the car entered the city, Fu Yuan'er's mood had calmed down. She suddenly remembered that she had not been angry with Cheng Zitong in front of Cheng Muching just now...
"Have all our previous efforts been in vain?" She was a little worried.
She still hasn't figured out which side Cheng Muying stands on.
"No." His tone was firm.
"Whose child is Ziyin's?" she asked next.
Cheng Zitong remained silent. He sent people to investigate the matter, but there is no definite result yet.
"I'll tell you when the results come out." He could only reply.
Fu Yuan'er leaned towards the driver's seat and leaned on his arm, quietly saying nothing.
He didn't say anything and drove the car quietly.
Fu Yuan'er had a strange feeling. The car was obviously driving forward, but she couldn't see clearly where the road was.
Cheng Zitong took her to his apartment. As soon as the car parked in the parking lot, he saw a figure standing up at the entrance of the elevator.
Zi Yin.
I don't know how long she had been waiting there. Her face was full of fatigue, her hair was messy on her forehead, and her clothes were wrinkled.
When she saw Cheng Zitong's figure, her eyes suddenly shone brightly and she walked quickly towards this side.
Cheng Zitong got out of the car. He didn't pay attention to Zi Yin walking towards him, but went around to the passenger seat and opened the door for Fu Yuan'er.
Fu Yuan'er didn't move, staring at Zi Yin through the windshield. She wanted to see what Zi Yin was going to do.
"Brother Zitong," Ziyin came to Cheng Zitong and happily took out a check-up sheet from his bag, "the doctor checked me and found that I am pregnant with twins."
Cheng Zitong raised his eyebrows lightly and said unconcernedly: "Congratulations."
Ziyin was stunned, "Why are you congratulating me... This is our child."
Cheng Zitong looked at her with sharp eyes: "You have to think about it before you speak."
Ziyin said without thinking: "This is our child, don't you remember, that night..."
"Shut up!" Fu Yuan'er suddenly got out of the car and interrupted Zi Yin's words.
She didn't feel Cheng Zitong's mood swings. If he took action, would the child in her belly be able to bear it?
Only then did Ziyin become aware of Fu Yuan'er's presence. Suddenly, with a "pop" sound, she knelt down in front of Fu Yuan'er.
Fu Yuan'er was frightened and couldn't help but take a few steps back, "You...what are you doing..."
"Fu Yuan'er, I beg you to return brother Zitong to me, for the sake of the two children in my belly..." Ziyin begged her.
Fu Yuan'er felt her head buzzing and couldn't react.
Cheng Zitong grabbed her hand and walked into the elevator without saying a word.
When the elevator door closed, Fu Yuan'er saw Zi Yin kneeling there.
Cheng Zitong took her hand and returned to the apartment. After closing the door, he held her shoulders with both hands and wanted to say something to her.
She pushed him away and shook her head. She didn't want to hear it, "I want to be alone."
She walked to the sofa and sat down blankly.
Cheng Zitong stood there and looked at her, then turned and left.
Soon, Fu Yuan'er smelled the aroma of eggs.
Then, there are the aromas of cheese and grilled bacon.
The aroma of the food brought her out of her daze. She turned around and saw that breakfast had been placed on the dining table, and he was busy working at the dining table.
Wearing an apron around the waist.
When was the last time he cooked for her?
He won't deliberately please anyone. What he is doing now is probably to appease her emotions.
In fact, she shouldn't have any emotions. Just like Yan Yan said, she should believe him.
And she has been unable to control her emotions, but he has been tolerating her.
She stepped forward, hugged his waist from behind, and pressed her cheek tightly against his broad back.
Feeling that he was about to turn around, she stopped him softly: "Don't move!"
She wants to feel a different kind of warmth.
"Cheng Zitong, when will this matter end?" she asked.
Forgive her for being vulnerable for a moment, but she shouldn't have asked this question.
"As long as you want, you can do it now," he said.
"I don't want to give up halfway." She shook her head.
He was silent.
"Cheng Zitong, can you promise me something?"
"What's up?"
"After we get back what the Cheng family owes you, can we not live in the Cheng family villa?"
She wanted to find a small house with a front yard, decorated simply but warmly, and filled with flowers.
She just wants to fall in love with the person she likes.
