After lunch, He Cheng and Li Fangqiong went out on business. Cheng Nuo chatted with He Peixu in the living room, and He Zikai went upstairs.
An hour later, He Zikai came down from upstairs and saw the old man and Cheng Nuo chatting happily in the living room. Cheng Nuo seemed to be telling the old man something, and the old man listened with a smile on his face.
He Zikai walked over, sat down next to Cheng Nuo, and asked, "What are we talking about?"
"I talked to Dad about some things at work." Cheng Nuo said with a smile. Compared with the nervousness when he first came to the mansion, he was obviously familiar with it now and was much more cheerful.
"Well..." He Zikai responded and took Cheng Nuo's hand.
I just went to see my mother, but I didn’t take her up, but I sat next to my mother and everything I said to my mother was about her.
"Zi Kai, if you are not busy today, just stay at home and go back after dinner." He Peixu said that his son usually had very little time to go home. This time he brought Cheng Nuo back, and he and Cheng Nuo had such a pleasant chat again.
, naturally I don’t want them to go back so early.
"No, I'll leave in a moment. I have something to do in the afternoon." He Zikai said that since he had brought Cheng Nuo back to see his family, there was no need to stay too long.
He Peixu knew that his son had made up his mind and had no intention of trying to persuade him to stay. He just looked at Cheng Nuo and said, "Cheng Nuo, come back and sit down more often when you have time to chat with an old man like me. I am in a particularly good mood when I chat with you.
"
He Peixu likes this daughter-in-law very much. She is very smart and polite in speech and behavior. She is obviously a sensible child.
"Yes." Cheng Nuo smiled and nodded, feeling very happy to be recognized by the old man.
He Zikai and Cheng Nuo chatted with He Peixu for a while, then said goodbye and left.
On the way home, He Zikai held the steering wheel with one hand and held Cheng Nuo's hand with the other hand, looking ahead without saying a word.
Cheng Nuo looked at He Zikai's side face and vaguely felt that something was wrong with his mood. Although he was usually indifferent, but this time, looking at his face, he felt that his face was a bit sad.
"Are you... okay?" Cheng Nuo finally couldn't hold it back and asked him.
"It's okay." He Zikai opened his thin lips and said two simple words.
Cheng Nuo didn't speak anymore, and was about to turn his head and look forward when he suddenly heard him say.
"My mother is not in good health, so I didn't take you to see her today." He Zikai was explaining, "Next time."
"Oh..." Cheng Nuo responded. He didn't notice this because he was nervous about going to He's house. Now that he thinks about it, from the time he walked into He's house to now, he really hasn't heard anyone mention this mother-in-law.
After He Zikai told the story, he realized that today he went to He's house to meet his father-in-law, but he did not see his mother-in-law.
He Zikai then turned his head and looked at Cheng Nuo. Looking at this woman, no matter how many worries and sorrows he had in his heart, they seemed to be dispersed.
"I'll take you home first." He Zikai said.
"Yeah." Cheng Nuo knew he was busy and didn't say much.
…
He Zikai sent Cheng Nuo home and then drove away.
Cheng Nuo returned home, sat in the living room and watched TV for a while. He felt a little tired, so he went upstairs to rest.
Cheng Nuo changed into pajamas and lay on the bed, and soon fell asleep.
But not long after, Cheng Nuo frowned vaguely, clenched his hands tightly on the quilt, and felt uncomfortable all over. (To be continued)
