33

Counting from the time Zhong Qianyan was treated abroad, the two of them have not returned to the country for several years.

Domestic development is very rapid. While driving, Fu Yanchen introduced the changes in Yanjing in recent years to his elders.

Many familiar landmarks have been replaced, and some old residential areas have been demolished and office buildings built.

"It's a big change." Cheng Shu sighed and bumped her husband with her elbow.

Zhong Qianyan realized the task Cheng Shu had given him on the plane. He cleared his throat and asked, "How are you and Yaoyao lately?"

Both Cheng Shu and Zhong Qianyan secretly looked at Fu Yanchen's expression through the rearview mirror and caught his expression. Cheng Shu's heart sank at that doubt.

After being married for more than four years, the son-in-law didn't even know his daughter's nickname. The relationship between the two couples...

She explained, "Yao Yao is Zhong Qiao's nickname."

Fu Yanchen understood and smiled gently, "It's pretty good. , She is rehearsing a play recently, and I will pick her up from work when my company is not busy."

Zhong Qianyan had no expression on his face and just responded lightly.

Fu Yanchen visited foreign countries many times, but he still couldn't figure out his father-in-law's temper, so he calmly tightened his grip on the steering wheel.

There was no music played in the car. Firstly, he was worried that it would disturb the two elders, and secondly, Fu Yanchen himself was not in the habit of listening to music while driving. Everyone chatted about one another. When they got out of the car, a cold wind blew in. Covered by the sound of wind, Zhong Qianyan sighed.

Standing at the door of the hotel, Fu Yanchen once again asked to stay, "Mom and Dad, why don't you go home and stay?"

Zhong Qianyan simply refused: "No need."

Cheng Shu supplemented, "It's so late, it's too late to stay in the hotel. It's more convenient. We can move there after we have someone take care of the old house."

"That's fine." Fu Yanchen was very good at understanding people's hearts. He felt the subtlety of the two elders' attitudes. Although he didn't know the reason, his facial expressions were more humble. , sent the two elders out of the room and said, "I will send someone to do the cleaning. My parents will have a good rest in the hotel during this time. If you need anything, please call me anytime."

Cheng Shu smiled, "Okay, you Be careful when you go back."

Cheng Shu didn't mention that Zhong Qiao would come over later. When Fu Yanchen turned around, the corners of her lips quickly fell.

After closing the door, the couple sat on the sofa for a long time. Zhong Qianyan sighed. Cheng Shu opened the suitcase and took out the medicine. "Take the medicine first. Let's not think too much. Maybe the couple will be fine."

"You. " Don't comfort me either." Zhong Qianyan took the medicine, put it in his mouth, and took a sip of water. "Do you believe it?"

Cheng Shu was silent for a moment. In the past few years, her daughter and son-in-law have been busy. Every six months or so, I will come abroad to see them once.

But they always came separately and never together. When I asked, the other party was busy and couldn't make time together.

She has been through this before, so she can't tell what's wrong with it. I'm afraid the couple has already lived their own lives.

Cheng Shu sighed, "We'll wait until Yaoyao comes over to talk about anything."

-

Zhong Qiao hung up the phone, went back to say hello to everyone, and immediately rushed to the hotel.

The place where their team building was held was relatively remote, and it took a full hour to drive to the hotel.

While driving, she reviewed the memories of the original owner's time with her parents in her mind.

Very strange.

These three words were the first words that came to her mind.

It's not like the communication between children and parents, but like distant relatives who are not familiar with each other. Many things are too superficial. The original owner always feels a kind of resistance when he goes abroad.

Zhong Qiao stood outside the room door, concentrated, and knocked on the door.

"Yao Yao." Opening the door, a dignified and gentle woman stood in front of her.

When Cheng Shu opened the door and saw her daughter, she choked up for a moment, her eyes full of tenderness and distress.

Before Zhong Qiao could react, he was hugged by the woman.

She was startled, and a wave of emotion poured into her chest, pulling at thousands of threads in her heart. Strangely, she didn't resist, but instead felt warm and relaxed... and a little dependent.

Yaoyao, is it the nickname of the original owner?

She thought about it and shouted, "Mom".

Cheng Shu wiped her tears and took Zhong Qiao's hand through the door.

There is also an elder male in the room. Compared to Cheng Shu, he has a lot more gray hair in his hair, but his temperament is still elegant.

Zhong Qiao recognized the elder's identity and called out with a smile: "Dad."

"Okay." Zhong Qianyan responded, with an almost imperceptible tremor in his voice, "Yao Yao, come sit down."

Zhong Qiao and Cheng Shu Although he was not familiar with Zhong Qianyan, deep down in his soul, he felt like we were old friends at first sight, and many topics came up naturally.

When asked about the recent public opinion, she smiled with relief and said, "Don't worry, my hidden marriage will eventually cause a fuss. Now that the fuss is over, I feel fine."

After saying that, she stood up and walked around in front of them. circled, indicating that she has not lost weight and is in good physical and mental condition.

Cheng Shu felt very distressed, "If you feel unhappy, let's find another job. If you don't want to work, that's fine. Your father and I have pensions and no shortage of savings. We can afford to support you."

She knew that her daughter was not short of money . , her son-in-law is even richer, but what she wants to express is that no matter what, they are her daughter's most solid backing.

"I know." Zhong Qiao's whole heart was wrapped in soft cotton, holding Cheng Shu's hand, his tone was a little coquettish that she didn't even notice.

"Also, are you and Yanchen... okay?"

Soon, the topic shifted to Fu Yanchen. Cheng Shu's feeling was correct. The relationship between the original owner and Fu Yanchen was indeed different. But after she walked in...

Thinking of the two of them rubbing their ears and hair together at night, Zhong Qiao's face turned pink.

During the nights when she was rehearsing the play, she and Fu Yanchen were like college students experiencing love for the first time.

He talks about being considerate but doesn't take the last step.

But in actual operation, it was fierce and cruel, with hickeys all over the body, not to mention the aching hands and red legs... But she was also comfortable. He was very service-minded, and the soft feeling rushed to the sky, and his consciousness was relaxed. When the time came, she allowed him entry.

But he said sanctimoniously, "That's enough. You have to rehearse the play tomorrow."

...

Zhong Qiao calmed down: "I have taken a break recently and basically stayed at home. Maybe the two of us get along more. It's better now, and the relationship is much better than before. "If nothing else, at least the relationship in bed is harmonious.

Cheng Shu observed the look on her daughter's face, and there was a real smile on her face, "It's better for the couple to live a good life than anything else. Seeing that you are well, your father and I are relieved. We will wait until the old house is tidied up. Come on, ask Yanchen to come home for dinner."

Zhong Qiao smiled and nodded.

Zhong Qianyan couldn't stay up late, so Cheng Shu drove him to bed when the time came.

After closing the bedroom door, Cheng Shu took her daughter to the living room to talk about herself.

These are all topics between women.

Unlike Chinese parents who talked about sexual changes, Cheng Shu was very open-minded, talking about contraception and how to maintain a harmonious life as a couple...

Zhong Qiao was stunned for a while, and after returning home, his mind was still in shock.

Sensing something was wrong with her expression, she thought it was because of Cheng Shu and Zhong Qianyan.

After so many years of hard work in the shopping mall, even in front of the old leaders, I was able to handle it with ease, but I still felt a little nervous when facing Cheng Shu and Zhong Qianyan.

He guessed that Zhong Qiao must have gone to the hotel after he left.

"What did mom and dad say?"

"Oh." Zhong Qiao came to his senses, "Mom said we would go out for dinner in a few days."

"Anything else?"

"We just talked about some family stuff, nothing else. "

Zhong Qiao bit the word "no" very hard, and Fu Yanchen frowned suspiciously, "Really?"

Is he really worrying too much?

"I can't lie to you!" Zhong Qiao's eyes flashed, "I'm going to see if Jiawen is asleep!" Then he quickly slipped to his son's room, washed his face and cooled off.

Fu Jiawen was lying on the bed, looking in the direction of the bathroom curiously, "Mom, you're home."

"Yes." Zhong Qiao pulled a washcloth and wiped his face, "Zai Zai, why aren't you asleep yet? "

I missed you, I didn't fall asleep,"

came the child's tender voice.

Zhong Qiao paused for a moment while wiping her face. She suddenly realized that her son's sweet words were just coming out of his mouth.

A few nights ago, when coaxing her to help him, Fu Yanchen would tear off his well-dressed face during the day and say some corny love words.

Her face, which she had just woken up from, started to feel hot again. She shook her head vigorously to get rid of this fascination from her mind.

"Then I'm back now. Go to bed quickly. Do you need me to accompany you?"

Fu Jiawen showed his white teeth and smiled, "Yes!"

Zhong Qiao sat beside the bed and patted him on the back. Fu Jiawen closed his eyes and spoke, "Mom, there will be an autumn outing in the kindergarten next week, and parents will be invited to join. Do you and dad have time?"

Zhong Qiao checked his schedule. He has almost finished arranging many plays for next week, and it is about to premiere. There will still be a period of time, if there are no new announcements, there will be a period of vacation in between.

"I should have time, but I'm not sure about Dad yet."

"Then I'll ask Dad tomorrow." The child's sleepiness came easily, and Fu Jiawen said in a daze, "If both parents can Just come..."

After returning to the room, not long after Zhong Qiao went to bed, the man next to him, who was as hot as a stove, pressed against him again.

She pushed the man and said, "I'm not coming today."

Fu Yanchen thought that the second elder had said something, and his expression was a little solemn, "What's wrong?" What's wrong

? He dared to ask what was wrong.

It looked like nothing had been done, and the packaging box on the bedside table was still intact, but the soreness in her waist told her that she had really overindulged recently.

Fu Yanchen did it nearly three times every night. Because she was too sensitive, she doubled the number of times. Occasionally, there can be a fuss the next morning.

Even those who are strong will become weak.

Zhong Qiao said angrily, "I feel like I'm weak. I've been soaking wolfberry in a thermos cup every day for the past few days."

Fu Yanchen was silent and seemed to be reflecting.

After Zhong Qiao helped him that day, he seemed to have opened up a new world, and the self-control he was proud of completely failed in front of her.

He hugged Zhong Qiao and kissed her comfortingly, "Then I won't come tonight. We will follow the principle of sustainable development."

"Yeah." Zhong Qiao closed his eyes to prepare for sleep.

But the fire surrounding her kept her awake. Zhong Qiao opened his eyes, sighed, and looked up at the ceiling, "How about we sleep separately tonight?"
