Lu Banxia stood up and said: "Aunt Wen, please accompany Mr. Li. I'm a little tired. I'll go back to my room to rest first."
He didn't even say hello and went straight back to the room, deliberately ignoring the intense gaze behind him.
Aunt Wen looked puzzled. The young lady would not usually rest so early. She looked at Li Yueqi and said, "Mr. Li, you..."
"It's okay!" Li Yueqi took a sip of the fruit tea, a faint smile escaped from his thin lips, "It tastes good."
"If Mr. Li likes it, I can make it for you to drink every day. It won't take much trouble anyway!" Aunt Wen said kindly.
Li Yueqi pursed his lips and smiled without saying a word. After chatting with Aunt Wen for a few words, he finished a cup of fruit tea and wanted to go back to rest. Aunt Wen sent him to the door, but Li Yueqi refused to let her see him off again and just stood at the door without moving.
Aunt Wen was about to close the door, but seeing that he hadn't entered yet, she asked with concern: "Mr. Li, what's wrong?"
Li Yueqi frowned, and Junyan was a little confused: "The door was blown shut by the wind, and I didn't bring the key."
He was wearing light-colored casual clothes, with slippers on his feet, and not a single pocket on his body. Where would he find his keys?
"What should I do?" Aunt Wen suddenly became worried, "There is no spare key?"
"They're all in the house." Li Yueqi didn't expect such a result. He thought for a moment and said, "Why don't I borrow your balcony and I'll see if I can get over it!"
"No, it's too dangerous." Aunt Wen refused. This is a 4-story building. If you are not careful, it will be serious.
"Then lend me your phone and I'll see if any of my friends come to pick me up and stay one night."
"It's not a good idea to bother others so late." In fact, it's only half past eight in the evening, and the nightlife in the bustling city has just begun.
Li Yueqi: "..."
Aunt Wen thought for a moment and said, "If Mr. Li doesn't mind, just spend the night on the sofa in our living room, and we'll find someone from the locksmith company to unlock the door tomorrow."
"This..." Li Yueqi hesitated, "Do you want to ask what she means?"
"No, Miss is very nice. Besides, you are still friends. Now you are neighbors and you should help each other." Aunt Wen pulled him in very hospitably and closed the door. "In the final analysis, it is my fault. I didn't let you do it just now."
Get the key, and you can spend the night on the sofa tonight. I will make breakfast for you tomorrow morning. You can eat it before going back."
"Thank you!" Li Yueqi nodded slightly to Aunt Wen.
Aunt Wen smiled, turned around and went to the room to get quilts, pillows and other things for Li Yueqi.
Li Yueqi stood in the living room, his eyes accidentally glanced at the ajar door, and walked over involuntarily. There was obviously a room, why should he make do with the living room?
Push the door open, touch the light switch, and after a click, the light quickly drives away all the darkness, and a warm and lovely baby room is revealed in front of you.
The ceiling is made of the sky and stars as the background. You can see the stars at night without turning on the lights. There is a goose-yellow baby's bed, a small tent next to it, and many toys, dolls, and cars of various colors placed on the ground, like
It's like moving the toy store back.
My heart seemed to be hit by a strong current, and it collapsed bit by bit.
The one-meter-two-meter-long single bed has clean bedding, and there are baby clothes, hats, shoes and socks that haven't been put away yet. They all look cute and make my heart melt.
Li Yueqi touched this and that. If their children were safe back then, they would not only be able to call mom and dad, but they would also be able to run, jump and act coquettishly.
He didn't think having a child was a good thing before. When Lu Banxia lost his child, he was also in pain, but this pain was not as painful as losing Lu Banxia. Now that he saw these real things, he realized that losing
The child's pain still remained in his body, but he had ignored it.
How wonderful it would be if the child in her belly was her own!
"Mr. Li!" Aunt Wen brought the pillow and quilt over. She didn't see him in the living room. She saw the light in the baby room turned on and walked in.
Li Yueqi came back to his senses and looked at her: "She prepared these?"
Aunt Wen nodded and came over to tidy up the swaddling clothes in the baby's bed. "The young lady is looking forward to the birth of the child. She even gave the child a nickname, Little Douya."
"Little bean sprouts, little bean sprouts, little bean sprouts!" I didn't expect that such a highly educated woman would give her child such a rustic nickname. After I read it a few times, I thought this name was very cute!
The thin lips curled up involuntarily.
Aunt Wen turned her back to Li Yueqi and did not see the smile on his lips. She said to herself: "The poor lady is pregnant, and there is no one else around to take care of her except me."
"Where is the family?" Li Yueqi couldn't help but ask after hearing her words. After asking, he curled his lips in a self-deprecating manner. How many people in the Lu family treated her sincerely?
"Her father came here a few times, and left after not sitting for long. Mr. Lu often brought things, but the young lady seemed unwilling to get close to them." After Aunt Wen finished speaking, she couldn't help but sigh.
If it were anyone else, she wouldn't have said so much. She vaguely felt that the young lady and Mr. Li had a close relationship, and maybe he could take more care of the young lady so that she wouldn't be alone.
Last time at Lu Yong's mourning hall, Lu Heng had obviously changed his views on Lu Banxia. The reason why Lu Banxia was still unwilling to get close to them was——
Li Yueqi thought of a person's name and frowned, puzzled. Lu Banxia seemed to be guarding against someone, but... was it necessary?
"Where is the child's father?"
She was on guard against the Lu family, so why did that man ignore her?
"This..." Aunt Wen hesitated, not sure whether she should say it. Seeing that Li Yueqi looked sincere and had helped the young lady several times, she did not hide anything from him: "The young lady has never mentioned the father of the child, so I don't either.
Do you know whether the father of the child has ever appeared?"
Since the young lady was hospitalized for recuperation, several men have come one after another, including Mr. Lu from the Lu family, a Mr. Xing, and a Mr. Qin. She doesn’t know if there is the father of the child among them!
There was a chill in Li Yueqi's brows, and he vaguely remembered the last time he went to see Your Excellency, but he didn't see that man. He seemed to have left the capital for something else!
What could be more important than her and her children?
"Mr. Li, go to bed early." Aunt Wen tidied up her things and said warmly.
Li Yueqi said nothing, nodded and left the nursery. Aunt Wen then turned off the light and came out, locking the door of the nursery.
************
Lu Banxia returned to the room. It was still early and she couldn't sleep. She sat on the tatami and read some books about babies and what to avoid during pregnancy. Occasionally, she heard conversations outside the door and thought it was Aunt Wen chatting with Li Yueqi.
I didn't take it to heart and concentrated on reading. Within half an hour, sleepiness came over me. I placed the book on my heart and fell asleep unconsciously.
When she woke up, it was already twelve o'clock, and she was hungry again. Aunt Wen must have gone to bed by this time, and she didn't want to trouble Aunt Wen, so she planned to go to the kitchen to get something to eat.
Since she became pregnant, she is no longer afraid of trouble and will eat whenever she is slightly hungry. She has really changed a lot for the sake of her child.
The living room was bathed in darkness. Lu Banxia did not turn on the light and walked directly to the kitchen. It was very familiar after walking there thousands of times. Besides, Aunt Wen deliberately kept the house very clean, so she was not afraid of tripping. Besides, the light outside was transparent.
Sprinkled on the ground through the floor-to-ceiling windows...
Lu Banxia had just walked to the dining room, but before entering the kitchen, out of the corner of his eye he saw a shadow moving on the sofa, and his heart beat loudly in shock: "Who?"
What she received in response was ice-cold and moving black shadows. Lu Banxia couldn't help but step back and lowered her waist lightly onto the table. She bit her red lips tightly. Could it be that there was a thief at home?
Her heart was pounding. She was not afraid of having her property stolen, but she was most afraid of being hurt by thieves.
In the impression, there seemed to be a fruit knife on the dining table. My eyes were fixed on the black shadow, my arm stretched out, hooked the fruit knife little by little, and held it in my palm. I was so nervous that I almost held my breath.
"Bah!" The light was suddenly turned on, and the darkness suddenly disappeared, and everything became bright.
So there is such a funny picture.
Li Yueqi stepped on the ground with his bare feet, his eyebrows were knitted tightly, and his black eyes stared puzzledly at Lu Banxia, who was leaning on the table, holding a fruit knife in his hand, with a pale face but a heroic look, disheveled hair, and a slightly funny look.
Seeing that it was Li Yueqi, Lu Banxia breathed a sigh of relief and looked at him with a slightly sad look: "Why is it you?"
"What else?" Li Yueqi walked up to her, reached out and took the fruit knife from her hand: "He thought I was a thief and planned to stab me to death!"
"It's just self-defense!" Lu Banxia looked at his stern silhouette and asked, "Why haven't you gone back so late?"
"The door was blown shut by the wind. I don't have the key. Aunt Wen asked me to stay on the sofa for the night." Li Yueqi replied in a calm voice, as if he was talking to an ordinary friend, looking at her messy hair.
, subconsciously wanted to reach out and sort it out for her, but in the end he didn't.
"What about you? You haven't rested so late?"
Lu Banxia pursed her lips, and it took her a long time to utter one word: "Hungry."
After saying that, he walked towards the kitchen, and his voice came from behind: "Wait!"
Lu Banxia stopped. Li Yueqi had already walked up to her and rolled up his sleeves: "I'll do it. You wait in the restaurant."
"No need..." Her conditioned refusal was not out of ignorance, but just a habit.
"It's not like I haven't done this before. It's so pretentious." Li Yueqi said calmly and walked directly into the kitchen.
Well, Lu Banxia stood speechless. Are his words full of differences, or is he thinking too much? His words feel weird no matter how you listen to them!
However, this scene is inexplicably familiar. It seems that there has been such a scene before. When he came home in the middle of the night, he didn't turn on the light on the sofa, and she didn't turn on the light either. As a result, both of them were frightened.
Her thin lips curled up inexplicably, and things changed in the blink of an eye. He was not the Li Yueqi of before, and she was not the Lu Banxia of that time.
Her eyes fell on his feet. She turned around and saw that his slippers were still beside the sofa. She carried his shoes into the kitchen, squatted down and put the slippers in front of him, "Put on your shoes."
Li Yueqi's expression changed slightly, something flashed across his eyes quickly, and he lowered his eyes to catch her calm and cold expression, as if she was a heartless, loveless person with no sorrow or joy.
But she was supposed to be his wife and the mother of his children, but due to a twist of fate, they both suffered losses in this marriage, and finally lost each other.
After putting on his shoes, he asked Lu Banxia to wait in the restaurant, saying that it was not good for pregnant women to inhale oil fumes.
…………
After a while, Li Yueqi came out with a bowl of egg fried rice and a glass of warm water and placed them in front of Lu Banxia.
"Thanks!"
Li Yueqi didn't say anything. He went to the kitchen and poured himself a glass of warm water. He came back and sat in front of Lu Banxia, drinking water and looking at her.
Lu Banxia took a bite of the fried rice he made. It tasted good, and the portion was not large, just enough to fill the stomach. The rice was soft, the egg was golden and the rice was wrapped in golden color. The green onions were fragrant, which made people very appetizing.
"You can go and have a rest." Being stared at by him made you lose your appetite even if you had one.
Li Yueqi withdrew his eyes and replied calmly: "I'll wait for you to finish eating."
"Just let Aunt Wen wash the bowl tomorrow."
She answered quickly, as if she couldn't wait to drive him away. Li Yueqi narrowed his dark eyes, his eyes complex and dark, shook the cup in his hand, drank a whole glass of water, stood up and walked to the sofa,
Pulling back the quilt and lying down again.
Lu Banxia breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him lying down. She didn't know why she didn't dare to be alone with Li Yueqi now, as if she felt guilty!
After finishing the meal calmly, Lu Banxia returned the cups and bowls and chopsticks to the kitchen, put them in the sink, and turned to go back to the room.
Standing at the door of his room, about to turn off the light, he saw Li Yueqi lying on the sofa. He was tall, and his feet were hanging in the air when he was squeezed on the sofa.
uncomfortable.
A ripple appeared in her eyes as calm as a lake. She turned around and walked to the sofa, saying softly: "Li Yueqi!"
Li Yueqi slowly opened his eyes, his thick fan-like eyelashes cast a green shadow, and looked at her quietly, his thin lips tightly pursed in a colorless arc.
"You go to my room to sleep."
He raised his eyebrows but didn't move or speak. How could he let a pregnant woman sleep on the sofa?
"I'll go to the room next door and make do for the night." Next door is the baby's room. Although it's small and Li Yueqi can't sleep well, she can still make do with her height.
Lu Banxia stretched out her hand to pull the quilt for him. Li Yueqi, who had been unresponsive, suddenly held her wrist. Her bright eyes were startled and she looked at him with confusion. The temperature of his palm was very warm. Holding her skin, man and woman
The difference in natural body temperature is now clearly apparent.
Her heart trembled, especially when she bent over and his upper body was slightly upward. The two of them were very close, so close that they could feel each other's breathing, and they could see their own shadows in each other's pupils, as well as those entanglements.
Unclear past.
Laughing or crying, sweetness or pain, they are like fireworks blooming in the darkness in an instant, exaggerating the coldness and loneliness.
After he said that he wanted her to die, he disappeared. Lu Banxia was not angry at his words, especially... But when he appeared in sight again, helping her again and again, she couldn't help it.
Has he... not let go of his random thoughts?
He secretly made a swallowing motion and whispered: "Li Yueqi, you..."
Just as she spoke, Aunt Wen's voice came from behind her: "Miss, Mr. Li, what's wrong?"
Lu Banxia was startled, and quickly stepped back and withdrew his hand. Li Yueqi's eyes suddenly froze, he quickly stood up and pulled her hand to his side, his tone was low and slightly reproachful: "Be careful!"
He almost hit the coffee table.
"Miss, are you okay?" Aunt Wen was also frightened and lost all sleep. She looked at her carefully and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that she was fine.
Lu Banxia brushed away his hand that grabbed her arm, said lowly "Thank you" and turned to Aunt Wen, "I'm fine!"
"You clean up the baby room, and I will make do with it at night and let Mr. Li rest in my room."
"The baby's room is small and makes sleeping uncomfortable. Why don't you sleep with me?" Aunt Wen suggested.
Lu Banxia hesitated and nodded. The orange light in his eyes seemed softer at this night, and the voice that fell into Li Yueqi's ears was also gentle and caring: "Then you go and have a rest. Good night."
Aunt Wen and Lu Banxia returned to the room, while Li Yueqi turned around and went to her room.
There were books about pregnancy and baby-raising on the dressing table, tatami, and beds. Li Yueqi sat beside the bed, picked up a book, Rules for Expectant Mothers, and slowly read through it.
Everywhere in the room was filled with her breath, and her body temperature seemed to be on the quilt. Li Yueqi lay half on her bed, thinking of the bone-eroding sex they had, and how his hand oil covered every inch of her body (
Countless fires are planted in my skin, and my heart is like being bitten by thousands of insects, and the pain is unbearable.
The book on his fingertips fell to the ground, and his fingers slipped into the quilt involuntarily. His mind was full of her charming appearance, not wearing a hair, or making gentle (accomplishment) pleasure on her body. Her breath became heavier and heavier, as if she was stepping on her.
If you fall into the fox's trap, there is no turning back.
Her appearance became clearer and clearer in his mind, her breath lingered under his nose, and sweat flowed into his chest along the cold and tough outline.
The air is gradually filled with a lingering fishy sweetness.
Is it happiness or sadness.
So close, yet yet so far apart, separated by a wall. Over there is the tranquility of her dreamland, but here is the tragic release of his (desire) thoughts...
There is no escape.
After all, who is whose calamity?
***************************The dividing line for young master’s recommendation votes******************
*********
The next day, Lu Banxia woke up and found that Aunt Wen was no longer in the room. She walked to the living room and saw Aunt Wen clearing away the dishes, her eyes glazed over for a few seconds.
Aunt Wen looked up and saw her and explained: "Mr. Li asked someone to unlock the door after breakfast. He has probably gone out now. He seems to be busy with work."
Lu Banxia pursed her lips slightly and said "yes", then went back to the room to wash up and change clothes as if nothing happened.
The window was open, so she closed it when she felt cold. She returned to the dressing table and sat down, applying some moisturizing lotion. The lid accidentally fell to the ground and rolled into the gap on the side of the bed.
Lu Banxia knelt on the ground to pick it up. When he saw a ball of white under the gun, he took it out too.
There was no dust, so it shouldn't have been there before. I pulled the tissue slightly open with my fingertips, and when I saw the strange color and dried... my cheeks suddenly became crimson, as if I was throwing away something terrible and throwing the paper into the trash can.
Her face was red and the veins on her forehead were looming. Thinking about this man last night, she really thought about it and didn't know what to say.
I always regretted that I should not have been so soft-hearted last night and let him sleep in the room.
During breakfast, Lu Banxia asked Aunt Wen to throw away all her sheets and quilts with a cold face.
Aunt Wen saw that her expression was not good, so she couldn't ask any more questions. As she changed the quilt, she muttered: "Aren't all the single quilt covers newly bought?"
…
During the day, Lu Banxia was thinking that he would never let Li Yueqi come in again, and would not ask for his help in anything. Unexpectedly, it was not yet dark, and Li Yueqi stepped in again, and he was still upright.
When Li Yueqi came back, he went to buy a non-slip mat. He had seen before that there was no anti-slip mat in her bathroom, so it would be easy to fall while taking a bath. It was normal. Now that she was pregnant, she had to be careful in everything.
Aunt Wen knew about his kindness, smiled at Mimi's gratitude, and didn't even stop him from putting the anti-slip mat in the bathroom. Instead, she persuaded him to stay for dinner here that night, and Li Yueqi directly agreed without any politeness.
Lu Banxia was sitting on the sofa, as if the air was ignored by them.
Li Yueqi went to the bathroom to put the anti-slip mat, and Aunt Wen went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. Lu Banxia put down the book in his hand, walked to the bathroom, and closed the door.
Anti-slip mats were available in the entire shower area, but he didn't measure the size. He just made an estimate and cut off the extra space. He glanced at her out of the corner of his eye and pretended he didn't see it.
Lu Banxia stood by the sink, looked at him, and said hesitantly: "Li Yueqi..."
"If you have something to say, tell me!" He didn't even raise his head, his tone was still so tepid.
"You... don't have to be like this." Lu Banxia's voice was a little soft, probably because she really couldn't understand Li Yueqi's thoughts, and she didn't even have the confidence to talk to him.
Li Yueqi paused, looked up at her, and asked with a smile on his face: "How am I doing?"
Well, Lu Banxia was stopped by his question for a moment. She looked at him with clear eyes. Thinking of what happened last night, a coldness filled her eyebrows: "You don't need to help me, you don't owe me anything!"
"When am I helping you?" Li Yueqi asked back, lowering his head and continuing with what he was doing, "I can do something without cooking, so why not? What's more -"
After a pause, he stopped and looked up at her again: "I want to help my poor ex-wife who has no one to take care of her. What's wrong?"
Poor, the word sounded somewhat mocking in her ears. She looked cold and said indifferently: "I don't need your pity!"
Li Yueqi put down the scissors in his hand and walked up to her, the coldness in his black eyes clearly visible, "Lu Banxia, what's wrong with you?"
He didn't understand why her emotions were so unpredictable. She kindly let him go into the bedroom to rest last night, but today he put on a cold face as soon as he walked in. Did he think he was blind and didn't see it?
Now you go to the bathroom and yell at him, thinking that you can do whatever you want because you are pregnant, and are you making trouble unreasonably?
Lu Banxia bit her lip and looked at him with cold eyes, unwilling to be outdone: "Mr. Li, if you don't want any woman, why bother to succumb to my ruined temple and wrong yourself!"
Li Yueqi looked startled, and the anger in his chest suddenly disappeared, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
She knows what happened last night!
