Dinner was very quiet. Cheng Nuo saw that He Zikai was silent, so he didn't dare to say more for fear of making him unhappy.
After dinner, the two of them sat in the living room, and Cheng Nuo handed him the cake he bought for He Zikai.
"Feed me." He Zikai opened his thin lips and said two simple words.
"..." Cheng Nuo was stunned for a moment, feeling that he heard wrongly, but when he looked at He Zikai's searching eyes, Cheng Nuo still felt helpless in his heart.
Opening the packaging box, Cheng Nuo took out a plastic fork and started feeding He Zikai cake.
He Zikai enjoyed this feeling very much. She was by his side. Perhaps only this woman could give him this sense of comfort.
After finishing the last bite of the cake, He Zikai embraced him with his long arms, and Cheng Nuo fell into He Zikai's arms, clinging to his chest.
"You..." Cheng Nuo's face instantly turned red and he looked towards the kitchen, where Aunt Lan was still washing dishes.
"I want to eat you more than eating cake." He Zikai said evilly, looking at the delicate face of the woman in his arms, and gradually moved to her chest.
"The doctor said, you can't... touch me for a month." Cheng Nuo took out a shield. His injury was not healed yet, so he couldn't touch himself.
He Zikai came closer, his face almost touching Cheng Nuo's face, and the hot breath he breathed hit her cheek directly, "No touching, anywhere else?"
He Zikai asked deliberately. He couldn't bear it in just two days, let alone such a long time as a month.
However, when I think about what I saw in the bathroom that day, I have an indescribable feeling in my heart. I feel sorry for her and I don't want to hurt her at all.
Cheng Nuo's face turned even redder than before. He clenched his little hand into a fist and slapped He Zikai's chest twice. He was a little annoyed and said firmly, "No way."
After saying that, Cheng Nuo broke away from He Zikai's hand and said, "I'm going to eat the cake first."
He Zikai didn't bother anymore and let her break away, looking slowly at her eating the cake.
She looked like a kitten. In his own eyes, the more he looked at her... the more comfortable she became.
"The old man called me this afternoon." He Zikai said when Cheng Nuo was about to finish eating, "I asked about the wedding."
"..." Cheng Nuo's mind calmed down for a moment, and then he remembered what happened that day when he returned to the He family mansion.
Cheng Nuo wiped the corners of his mouth with a tissue, looked at He Zikai, and said in a very calm tone, "Zikai, can you... not hold the wedding?"
He Zikai looked at this woman with a deep look, and he was not surprised at all by what she said.
She was the one who asked for the secret marriage at the beginning, and she agreed to it. It was within her expectations that she didn't want to hold it.
Cheng Nuo saw that He Zikai was silent and continued, "I am very satisfied with my current life. I just want to maintain the status quo and live peacefully."
Compared to before, I cherish the life I have now. I don’t have to be beaten or scolded, and I don’t have to endure grievances.
As for this man, apart from giving him his body, although he is a bit overbearing, his occasional concern and care still make my heart throb, and I am very satisfied with maintaining such a life with him.
After hearing Cheng Nuo's words, He Zikai didn't speak immediately. He stretched out his hand, pinched her chin, looked into her eyes, and asked, "If you continue to live, will you fall in love with me?"
He Zikai didn't know why he asked this question. He had a desire in his heart to be taken seriously by this woman and to care about her inner thoughts.
Can that place in her heart belong to her?
The person who gets her wants to get her heart even more.
Cheng Nuo's heart suddenly "thumped" as something shook violently.
Fall in love with him? Will you?
Probably not! Tianyu's position in his heart cannot be replaced by anyone. Even if there is no future with him, his position will always exist.
The two just looked at each other, Cheng Nuo didn't answer his words.
He Zikai gradually let go of her chin, leaned back towards the sofa, and looked forward, "I will tell the old man that there will be no wedding."
"Well..." Cheng Nuo nodded, and the two of them eliminated the awkward atmosphere just now.
"Let's go back to the mansion for dinner on Friday night." He Zikai said. When the old man called him in the afternoon, he asked him to take Cheng Nuo back to the mansion for dinner on Friday, but he did not refuse.
"Yes." Cheng Nuo responded, feeling less nervous than last time. Thinking of the old man's kind face, he still missed him somewhat.
He Zikai glanced at her again, stood up, and prepared to go upstairs.
"Wait..." Cheng Nuo thought of something and stood up immediately. He instinctively took He Zikai's arm, looked at his profile, and asked, "Can I see your mother when I return to the mansion this time?"
He Zikai frowned slightly and did not turn to look at Cheng Nuo. He waited for more than ten seconds before replying with the word "yes".
The expression on Cheng Nuo's face gradually relaxed, and the hand holding He Zikai's arm also loosened.
Watching He Zikai's back walking upstairs, Cheng Nuo felt a little hopeful.
What kind of person is this mother-in-law? Will she be as easy to get along with as the old man?
…
The next day, Cheng Nuo went to work at the company as usual, sitting at his desk and busy with his work.
Suddenly, the intercom phone on the table rang.
Cheng Nuo paused what he was doing and answered the phone, "Hi, hello, I'm Cheng Nuo."
"Cheng Nuo, I'm Xiao Ai, there's someone here at the front desk looking for you." Xiao Ai, the front desk staff said.
"Looking for me?" Cheng Nuo was a little surprised. Who would come looking for him?
"Well, it's a boy." Xiao Ai said.
"Okay, I'll go over now." Cheng Nuo was even more confused, but still responded to Xiao Ai.
After hanging up the phone, Cheng Nuo saved the document on the computer desktop, then stood up and walked out of the planning department office area.
When they arrived at the front desk of the company, Cheng Nuo and Xiao Ai exchanged a few words before they realized that the person they were looking for was waiting in the rest area nearby.
Walking to the door of the rest area, Cheng Nuo immediately saw Cheng Zhiming sitting on the sofa not far away.
Why did he come here?
Cheng Nuo was even more puzzled. Cheng Zhiming had never been to his place of work since he graduated, but today...
Seeing Cheng Nuo, Cheng Zhiming immediately panicked, stood up and walked towards Cheng Nuo.
"Cheng Nuo..." Cheng Zhiming stood in front of Cheng Nuo and shouted excitedly, then immediately held Cheng Nuo's hand with both hands, "Save uncle, save our family, okay?"
Cheng Nuo looked at Cheng Zhiming, wondering what was going on.
"What's wrong?" Cheng Nuo asked, looking confused.
"Cheng, Cheng is about to go bankrupt. This morning, all projects had problems. Even He Yi Empire's projects also had problems." Cheng Zhiming said in a panic, looking at Cheng Nuo for help.
Hui Hui didn't show any disdain for Cheng Nuo in his eyes, and the hand that grabbed Cheng Nuo was still trembling. (To be continued)
