Rose Manor

For several days, Shen Jia Nian was in a depressed mood and could hardly speak. How could Fu Jichen, who had always been very protective of her, not notice something strange about her? Every time he asked her, she would shake her head and say she was fine, and then she would fall into deep thought, looking very worried.

Sometimes, Fu Jichen really wanted to get into her mind and find out what she was thinking.

After a funeral, there were a lot of things in the company that needed to be dealt with urgently. Fu Jichen was a little overwhelmed, but he still made time to care about her.

"I checked. The weather is good on Sunday. Can I take you for a walk in the countryside?" Fu Jichen held a tablet in his hand and was checking the weather for the next few days.

The maximum temperature on Sunday can reach 20 degrees, which is suitable for outings. Otherwise, a new wave of cold air will hit, and it will be difficult to have such good weather again.

Shen Jianian half-reclined on the recliner with a pillow in his arms. He looked away from the window and looked at Fu Jichen's face. He pulled the corners of his lips and smiled: "I'll let you decide."

The phone rang. Shen Jianian picked it up and saw that it was a call from Bai Changxia. Without hesitation, she pressed the connect button and called: "Xia Xia."

Perhaps it was a tacit understanding, so Bai Changxia opened his mouth and invited her to hang out on the weekend: "It's a sunny day on Sunday, do you want to go shopping?"

Shen Jianian held the phone, glanced at Fu Jichen, and said to Bai Changxia, "Fu Jichen is going to go on an outing on Sunday. If you are free, why not come with us."

Bai Changxia: "I'll ask my friend if he's free. How about we go on a trip for four of us?"

"Okay." Shen Jianian had no objection.

Taking the phone off her ear, Shen Jianian looked up at Fu Jichen and said, "Xia Xia asked me to go shopping on Sunday. I told her that we had plans on Sunday and invited her to join us. She and her husband should also come. .”

"That's fine, there are so many people and it's so lively." Fu Jichen helped her straighten her hair around her ears, "I'll ask Aunt Cheng to prepare whatever needs to be prepared in advance."

"I'll discuss it with Xia Xia."

When talking about what to bring for Sunday outing, Shen Jianian seemed to be in a better mood and started chatting with Bai Changxia on her cell phone.

In the blink of an eye, it was Sunday, the autumn weather was crisp, and the two families made an appointment to go to a forest park for a picnic. Fu Jichen didn't ask Qu Mo to drive, he drove a cross-country car and took Shen Jianian there.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the two families met at the entrance of the park, drove in together, found a place to park, picked up their things and went to the lawn on the west side of the park.

Because it was Sunday, many family groups came here to play. Parents brought their children and pets. The Frisbee was spinning in the sun. The border collie chased it and ran back to its owner holding it in its mouth.

Bai Changxia couldn't wait to take out his mobile phone to take pictures and directed Zhu Qisen to organize his things.

Fu Jichen took out a cushion from the travel bag he brought over, threw it on the lawn, and said to Shen Jianian: "If you feel tired from standing, just sit for a while."

Shen Jia Nian only held a thermos cup, and Fu Jichen took care of the rest. She sat on the mat obediently and watched Fu Jichen set up the tent.

Bai Changxia took a few photos of the scenery, put away her phone, and started to spread the picnic cloth on the ground. Shen Jia Nian helped her, but Bai Changxia waved her away: "You are a pregnant woman, go and rest while I do it myself."

Shen Jianian smiled helplessly: "You also know that I am a pregnant woman and not disabled. I can still do this little thing well."

"I'm afraid that your wife will give me a flying eye." Bai Changxia raised his chin and gestured in the direction of Fu Jichen. Who didn't know that Shen Jia Nian was Fu Jichen's precious child.

"It's not that exaggerated."

Shen Jia Nian pinched the two corners of the picnic cloth and helped to smooth it.

The two of them laid out the food they had brought over, including rice balls, fried chicken, pizza, juice, fruits, salads, etc., as well as some beef, mutton and vegetables that had been marinated at home. There was a cassette stove and baking pan in the trunk of the car. You can have barbecue anytime.

Wearing a complete set of white sportswear and a wide sun hat, Shen Jianian sat cross-legged on the mat, supporting his chin with one hand and twisting his neck to watch Fu Jichen firmly drive the nails into the grass and then hold up the tent's supports.

He was wearing a black sportswear and casual pants today. To make it easier to work, he took off his jacket. He was only wearing a dark gray thin shirt underneath. The sleeves were rolled up to his elbows. The lines of his exposed forearms were tight and smooth, and every move was pleasing to the eye. .

Bai Changxia sat on the floor, wearing disposable gloves, picked up the fried chicken legs and started to eat. Seeing Shen Jia Nian open the zipper of the sportswear jacket, he looked up and down her figure: "Have you lost a little weight? Is morning sickness serious? I have A relative, I heard that she suffered from vomiting from the early stages of pregnancy until she gave birth to a baby. Every time I want to have a baby, I am so frightened by this situation that I stop thinking."

"Have you lost weight?" Shen Jianian touched his cheek, "Maybe it's because I was a little tired from attending a funeral some time ago, but morning sickness is not that serious. This kind of thing varies from person to person. Physical constitution is different, and pregnancy is also different."

"Oh yes, I almost forgot, your mother-in-law..."

Bai Changxia glanced at Fu Jichen, but did not say the words "died".

After the two men finished their work, they also sat over and chatted about all kinds of topics, not limited to business matters.

Shen Jianian was full after eating a piece of pizza. She leaned on Fu Jichen's shoulder and closed her eyes, listening to their conversation without interrupting. Her cheeks and shoulders were illuminated by a few bits of sunlight leaking through the gaps between the branches and leaves.

"Are you sleepy?" Fu Jichen lowered his eyes and looked at her, "How about you go lie down in the tent for a while? I laid out an inflatable mattress and brought a blanket."

"I'm not sleepy." Shen Jianian curled his lips, "I just think it's quite comfortable."

Staring at the smile on her lips, Fu Jichen felt that this trip was right. The natural scenery would heal his mood. The breeze, sunshine, and green trees were all good medicine. "Oh my god, I'm here for a picnic, not to see you show affection." Bai Changxia saw that the two of them were so sticky that they were so sticky that they could draw strings, and immediately hugged her husband's arm unwilling to admit defeat, "Who doesn't seem to have it? I do too. ."

Shen Jia Nian raised his head and smiled. He lost his balance and fell backwards. Fu Jichen grabbed her waist in time to catch her back, otherwise she would have lay down.

Fu Jichen reminded softly: "Be careful."

Shen Jia Nian originally had no intention of showing affection, but when Bai Changxia said this, she became excited and pointed at the glass lunch box and said to Fu Jichen, "I want to eat kiwi fruit."

Fu Jichen obeyed the advice, leaned forward to pick up the fruit lunch box, held a fork in one hand, picked up a piece of kiwi fruit and fed it to her: "What else do you want to eat?"

"Um...Orange."

Fu Jichen picked up a piece of orange and fed it to him.

Seeing this, Bai Changxia became addicted to drama, and said not to be outdone: "Hubby, I want to eat rice balls."

Zhu Qisen didn't understand the comparison between women, but he still did as he was told, picked up a rice ball, unwrapped it and gave it to her. Bai Changxia acted coquettishly: "Feed me."

"How do you feed this?" Zhu Qisen glanced at the rice ball that was almost half the size of his palm, "Take a spoon and dig a piece of it?"

Shen Jianian looked at the two of them and almost choked with laughter: "Bai Changxia, you are sick, why do you want to imitate me?"

Bai Changxia made a face: "Who learned from you?"

The two looked at each other for less than two seconds, and neither of them could hold back their laughter. Bai Changxia couldn't stand himself. He shook his shoulders and trembled, saying "Nasty", then took the rice ball from Zhu Qisen's hand, took a big bite, and frowned: "Why is it from tuna?"

"Didn't you buy it?" Zhu Qisen said.

"Oh, maybe I didn't pay attention." Bai Changxia didn't like to eat tuna, so she gave the rice ball she took a bite to her husband and took another rice ball to unwrap.

Zhu Qisen didn't mind it either, and continued to eat the rest of her food.

Shen Jia Nian did not let Fu Jichen continue to feed him. He ate fruit from the lunch box and chatted with Bai Changxia.

After eating and drinking, Bai Changxia saw a lake in front of him, and suggested to Shen Jianian to go there for a walk, mainly because he wanted to take more beautiful photos and post them on WeChat.

Fu Jichen was worried and warned as usual: "Be careful and pay attention to safety."

"I know." Shen Jianian took Bai Changxia's arm, stepped on the sponge-like lawn, and walked towards the lake.

The two women took many photos of each other and even invited passers-by to take group photos of them. Bai Changxia smiled at the camera and made a scissor hand gesture. Suddenly he found a girl walking in the direction of Fu Jichen, and the smile on his face immediately disappeared.

Ignoring taking pictures, Bai Changxia pushed Shen Jianian's arm, hinting her to look over there.

After being reminded, Shen Jia Nian also saw that Fu Jichen was sitting on the mat with her. After she left, he stood up and sat on the folding chair, crossed his legs, took a book to read, looking leisurely, but could not hide his dignity. temperament. A girl in a white skirt pulled her hair around her ears and tentatively approached him. He didn't seem to notice and was only reading a book.

"You...are you still taking pictures?" The passerby who was pulled over to act as a photographer discovered that the two women in front of him didn't look at the camera at all, and they didn't know what they were looking at.

"No more pictures, no more pictures." Bai Changxia walked over and took back his cell phone from the passerby, "Sorry, I wasted your time."

The passerby said "It's okay" and walked away.

Bai Changxia dragged Shen Jia Nian and strode back. Shen Jia Nian could hardly keep up with her pace: "What are you doing?"

"The Empress of the Palace has just left for a while, and a little goblin came to the door!" Bai Changxia said indignantly, "Everyone on the Internet knows that Fu Jichen is married, how can you tolerate it so blatantly?"

"Maybe they didn't recognize him." Shen Jianian didn't want to make any malicious speculations about people he had never met before, "Maybe they have other things..."

"Um, sir, hello, please... can you add your contact information? I have no other intention, I just want to make friends with you so that we can hang out together in the future."

Before Shen Jianian finished speaking, he heard the shy voice of a girl a few steps away, mixed with a hint of nervousness, asking Fu Jichen for his contact information.

Bai Changxia spread his hands, tilted his head, gave Shen Jia Nian a look that said, "Do you believe it now?", and said in a low voice, "I can guarantee that if you don't go over, the girl will pounce on you!"

The corners of Shen Jianian's lips trembled slightly, looking in disbelief: "In broad daylight, with so many people around, no one can be so bold, right?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the girl mustered up the courage to step forward, and her toe "accidentally" kicked the cushion that Shen Jia Nian had just been sitting on. She tripped and fell forward, and the angle where she fell happened to be in Fu Jichen's arms.

Shen Jianian commented expressionlessly: "You are so amazing."

Bai Changxia raised his neck and said proudly: "That's natural." (End of Chapter)
