After kicking out my ex-husband, his brother and I got back together.

Chapter 44 Staying at the Duan family’s old house
Before going to bed, Duan Xiaowu began to feel a little nervous.

Because Duan's family didn't know that she and Chang Rong had a fake marriage.

Then tonight, it is very likely that Chang Rong will not be given a room alone.

This means that she and Chang Rong have to sleep in the same room tonight.

What a coincidence that since she moved out of her old house at the age of 18, the room reserved for her has always been the room she lived in when she was a child.

The bed was 1.2 meters tall, because when she was a child, her mother deliberately changed her to a single bed that would cause her to fall off if she turned over twice in order to cure her habit of flopping around while sleeping.

After so many years, Duan Xiaowu's problems have long been cured.

But the bed was kept and never replaced.

If Chang Rong really slept in her room tonight, she could almost imagine the scene.

She was hesitating about what to say.

But I saw Aunt Zhang walking out of the storage room holding a new bedding on the bed.

Duan Xiaowu hurried forward, pretending to help but actually testing: "Aunt Zhang, let me help you, where do you need to put these quilts?"

Unexpectedly, Aunt Zhang gave her a teasing look.

He even showed an expression of 'I understand, I really understand':
"The chairman asked me to prepare a guest room for Xiao Chang. Of course, these quilts should be placed in the guest room on the third floor."

When Duan Xiaowu heard this, she still didn't react.

Unexpectedly, she was stunned for a moment, but instead Aunt Zhang laughed: "I know you are newlyweds, but this is the first time that Xiao Chang comes back as a son-in-law. Director Duan means that you two have to sleep separately."

"Sleep separately?!" Duan Xiaowu called out in surprise.

He almost jumped up and shouted "Long live Old Man Duan".

It was great. Unexpectedly, the old man's subtle little emotion helped her solve a big trouble.

Duan Xiaowu was a little too obviously happy and her voice was a little loud.

Chang Rong, who was standing by the window in the living room downstairs, raised his head and glanced at her.

However, Aunt Zhang misunderstood what Duan Xiaowu meant.

She mysteriously approached Duan Xiaowu and whispered:

"Anyway, you and him live on the third floor. I just want to go through the motions. Wait until everyone is asleep, and then..."

"Aunt Zhang, what are you talking about?" Duan Xiaowu quickly interrupted the old girl's pink fantasy, "Didn't the old man say that it's Chang Rong's first time here and they have to sleep separately."

As she said this, she patted her chest confidently: "Don't worry, we will definitely sleep separately."

Aunt Zhang shook her head helplessly, then took the elevator to the third floor holding the quilt.

Duan Xiaowu also followed her and put on the quilt with clean sheets.

The Duan family rarely has guests staying overnight, and even if Duan Xiaowu comes back occasionally, they rarely stay overnight.

There were suddenly two more people tonight, and both Aunt Zhang and Duan Chengxiong looked a little excited.

In the master bedroom on the second floor, Duan Chengxiong stood in front of the closet with his arms spread out, and Xu Rou was helping him button the pajamas.

"What do you think of Xiao Chang?" he asked with a smile and narrowed his eyes.

Xu Rou raised her head and glanced at him, then lowered her head and continued to button the buttons for him.

"It's up to you and Xiao Wu."

Duan Chengxiong was still recalling the content of his conversation with Chang Rong that night, and the smile on his lips grew stronger when he heard this.

"I think it's not bad. At least the two families know each other well."

"Although the Duan family has been developing rapidly in recent years, it is still far behind compared to a truly well-established and famous family like the Chang family."

Having said this, Duan Chengxiong couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"With Duan Xiaowu's bad temper, I'm really afraid that the Chang family won't like her."

Xu Rou finally helped him button the row of fine buttons.

After hearing what he said, she comforted him softly.

"How could it be, Xiao Wu is so good? It's because you have been too harsh on her." When this topic was brought up, Duan Chengxiong's eyes couldn't help but darken a little.

"I don't know that I'm too harsh on her, but I'm just an heir. It's not easy for a girl to do business. She also has to suppress those shareholders and my brothers who are just trying to make a move. How can she do it without any real ability? !”

Seeing that he had said so, Xu Rou stopped answering.

"Okay, go to sleep. The doctor said that with your body, you must sleep before ten o'clock."

It was close to eleven o'clock.

Although Xu Rou's tone was gentle, there was obviously some gentle reproach in her words.

Duan Chengxiong patted her arm helplessly, "Today is the first time that Xiao Chang comes to visit as a son-in-law. It doesn't matter if he stays up a little late."

……

On the other side, Duan Xiaowu helped Aunt Zhang tidy up the guest room and then returned to the first floor.

At this time, Chang Rong was still standing in front of the window looking outside.

Duan Xiaowu walked over and followed his gaze and looked out.

Unfortunately, it was pitch dark there, and even because of the reflection of the lights in the living room, I could see the silly faces of the two people.

But she didn't need to see clearly to know what was in that direction.

"Go to sleep first. Get up early tomorrow. I'll accompany you to your grandpa's old house to take a look."

When Chang Rong turned around, his eyes were so deep that it was scary.

Duan Xiaowu met his eyes, and her heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason.

If it weren't for the crimson color in his eyes and ears, Duan Xiaowu wouldn't have been able to tell that he drank a lot tonight.

The old man didn't know where he got this strange habit.

The first time I had dinner with my "son-in-law", I had to make him drink.

Moreover, it was not enough for the two of them to drink a bottle of red wine, so they brought out the medicinal wine that he had brewed for more than ten years and let Chang Rong try two glasses.

That thing was stronger than 58-degree liquor, and it was hard for Chang Rong to still stand here steadily after drinking two large glasses.

"I want to go and see it now." Chang Rong kept staring at her eyes, his eyes as dark as water staring at Duan Xiaowu without blinking, making her cheeks feel hot for no reason.

Duan Xiaowu couldn't help but looked away first: "It's raining heavily outside now, let's go tomorrow."

She originally thought Chang Rong would get drunk and crazy with her, but she didn't expect him to be surprisingly obedient: "Oh, okay."

Duan Xiaowu breathed a sigh of relief and dragged him toward the elevator.

"Go upstairs and sleep."

"I have arranged a guest room on the third floor for you. My room is next to yours. If you have any questions at night, you can call me at any time."

Chang Rong nodded obediently and followed her upstairs.

Duan Xiaowu sent him into the room and handed him the toiletries and clean nightgown that Aunt Zhang had prepared for him.

Somewhat worried, Duan Xiaowu watched him walk into the bathroom and heard the sound of running water from the shower before turning around and leaving the guest room.

Duan Xiaowu returned to her room and collapsed on the sofa in the bedroom, feeling a little tired.

She was originally worried that Chang Rong would not cooperate or that Old Man Duan would be too difficult.

But fortunately, tonight's meeting passed without incident.

Duan Xiaowu got into her bed after taking a shower.

Before going to bed, she was still a little worried.

So she sent Chang Rong an inquiry on WeChat, but after waiting for 10 minutes, there was no reply from Chang Rong.

Guessing that he might have fallen asleep, Duan Xiaowu did not disturb him again.

But in the middle of the night, she was awakened directly by a knock on the door.
