Marriage Crisis: Lonely Apricot Blossom

Chapter 10 The Falling Sword of Damocus (1)
Xiao Yan frowned and walked into the bathroom, knocking on the door of the cubicle.

"Yan Jia, are you there?"

Yan Jia let out a "hey", and then heard the sound of "wow--" flushing.

The door opened and Yan Jia came out with a pale face.

In one morning, she ran here no less than five times.

"What's the matter with you? You look so bad." Xiao Yan looked at her and asked worriedly.

Yan Jia shook her head pitifully, "I don't know, I just feel empty. Recently, even my menstruation is not normal, I'm so unlucky."

Xiao Yan touched her forehead, she was normal, so she joked, "You're not pregnant, are you?" She knew that Yan Jia never wanted children.

When Yan Jia heard this, her whole body trembled, it's not impossible for this possibility!Since she said she wanted children, they haven't taken any measures, although they haven't been together much.

"After dinner, I'll go to the hospital." Yan Jia said sullenly.

Xiao Yan stared at her incredulously: "Didn't you mean the truth, did you really have it?"

Yan Jia grinned at her, "It's hard to say, let me identify it and report to you."

Walking out of the hospital gate, Yan Jia couldn't help looking up at the sky. The afternoon sun was so bright that it dazzled her. The laboratory test report from her showed that the urine test result was positive, which meant she was pregnant.

Being pregnant at this time, Yan Jia didn't know if it was a blessing or a curse.

Recently, there has been some estrangement between her and Fang Zhenqian. He worked overtime even later, and when they met, they were polite to each other, but that kind of politeness made Yan Jia feel awkward and sad, and it was not like a close couple at all. couple.

Perhaps, this child can bring some positive changes to this family. In any case, she should be happy.

The phone rang, she looked at it, it was Xiao Yan.

"How's it going? Did you win the lottery?" Xiao Yan asked on the other end of the phone in a grumpy voice.

Yan Jia said: "I won, the big prize."

Xiao Yan gasped, "Oh my god, are you going to have a baby then?"

"Why not?" Yan Jia said.

Suddenly there was no sound on the other end of the phone, and after a while, Xiao Yan's voice sounded again, "The boss is looking for me, I won't tell you any more, after work, let's have dinner together!"

After hanging up the phone, Yan Jia started dialing Fang Zhenqian's cell phone number again. He was on a business trip for the past two days and was not at home.After thinking about it, I still gave up, thinking it would be better to tell him face to face, anyway, I'll be back tomorrow.

I had dinner with Xiao Yan outside, since Xiao Yan had a regular boyfriend, they rarely had such an opportunity.

"Did you tell your husband?" Xiao Yan asked.

"No, he's on a business trip in Hainan. I want to wait until he comes back." Yan Jia casually sucked the orange juice, playing with the lid of the sugar bowl.

"Hey, what a coincidence, my sister is also in Hainan." Xiao Yan said casually.

Yan Jia's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly became uneasy.

"What is she going to do?" Yan Jia asked cautiously.

"It seems that there is some academic seminar, she went to interview."

Yan Jia thought flusteredly, before Fang Zhenqian left, he mentioned that he seemed to be going to attend some kind of seminar, how could it be such a coincidence?
So, they have a chance to be together again...

"Hey, what are you thinking?" Xiao Yan watched Yan Jia desperately sprinkle sugar into the orange juice in surprise, "It's not sweet enough! Be careful of gestational diabetes, it's very common."

Yan Jia stopped suddenly, her good mood was gone.

Seeing her distraught look, Xiao Yan sighed and said, "People only get depressed after childbirth, why did you suffer from prenatal depression! Forget it, sleep at my place tonight, I'll see what you look like It's quite scary, don't make any mistakes, when your husband comes back tomorrow, I will return you to Zhao."

Yan Jia moved the corner of her mouth and forced a smile.She didn't object to the proposal, she was afraid to go back and think about the empty house.

That night, it was almost Xiao Yan's special love meeting. She told Yan Jia heartily how satisfied she was with Lawyer Fan and what Lawyer Fan was capable of.Yan Jia was absent-minded.When Xiao Yan was speaking very vigorously, she would suddenly ask, "Why did your sister return to China suddenly?"

"Ye Luo returns to her roots. She is not young anymore. The right way is to find someone to marry early when she comes back." Xiao Yan has now become a marriage expert.

After a while, Yan Jia asked again: "Did your sister have a boyfriend before?"

"Huh?" Xiao Yan was inexplicably interrupted by her, thinking, "I don't know, I haven't heard her mention it, it seems to have happened in college. They also came to my house. They went abroad together. Who knows if they didn't I'm going to finish it later, but my mother was very angry, but then again, my sister's temper is also something that my mother is used to."

Yan Jia fell into silence.

"Why are you so interested in my sister?" Xiao Yan asked as if she had come to her senses, and then said with a smile: "Oh, I understand, are you afraid that she and your husband will spark in Hainan, right? "

Yan Jia accidentally talked about the fact that Hua Mei and Fang Zhenqian might have gone to the same seminar, and now her words were all about Hua Mei, so it's no wonder that Xiao Yan would have a meeting with her. This kind of joke.

Yan Jia didn't want to talk any more, so she buried her face in the thin quilt, "I'm asleep, I'm so sleepy."

"Don't worry, just a righteous man like your husband, who is invulnerable to swords and guns, has nothing to ask for except guarding you. Besides, my sister can't possibly be interested in this kind of boring gourd."

Xiao Yan was talking nonsense, seeing that Yan Jia ignored her and just buried her head in sleep, she had to stop talking, and also threw the quilt and fell down.

Throughout the night, Yan Jia tossed and turned, unable to sleep.The sound of Xiao Yan's even breathing came from beside her, which made her full of envy. If only she could be as nervous as her, she would be fine, so she wouldn't have to be afraid of anything, and wouldn't have to worry about anything.

After tossing around in the middle of the night, her thoughts became more and more chaotic like piles of tangled cotton wool. In the end, Yan Jia could only use the method of spiritual victory to comfort herself, and kept telling herself not to suspect her husband, but to trust him and have confidence in him.

When it was dawn, sleepiness hit her, and she finally fell asleep in a daze.

When the alarm clock rang earth-shatteringly, Yan Jia was still sleepy.Xiao Yan quickly got out of bed, washed up, and got ready. She was so efficient that there were two people in the office.

"I'm sorry, you!" When Xiao Yan was ready, she found that Yan Jia was still asleep.

"Please ask me for a day off." Yan Jia hummed inarticulately, without opening her eyes at all.

Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment, but in the end she didn't go to grab her. A newly pregnant person may have a change in temper.

"Then be careful yourself!" Xiao Yan ordered, and the person had already reached the door, "Call me if you need anything."

"Hmm..." The response from the quilt was thin and thin.

I don't know how long she slept, Yan Jia woke up drowsy, her mind was swollen and she felt uncomfortable.She pulled back the quilt, glanced at the alarm clock, and was startled, it was already past one in the afternoon.

She thumped her head lightly, she was really like a pig, but she obviously recovered from her sleep, but the upside-down jet lag made her kind.

After changing her clothes, she opened the door while considering whether to go back directly or find a place to eat first.

The gaze was projected, and then he was taken aback, there was actually someone in the living room.

Moreover, and those two people were embracing and kissing passionately.

As soon as Yan Jia saw it clearly, her brain exploded with a bang.

When Fang Zhenqian first saw Hua Mei at the meeting in Hainan, he had a headache and was a little unspeakably afraid. He didn't know what he was afraid of, but he was very worried that Hua Mei would come to pester him as soon as he got a chance.

Unexpectedly, he was wrong this time.

Hua Mei led the two young people back and forth in the venue busy, no time to worry about other things.What made Fang Zhenqian even more gratifying was that she never came to him even during the intermission. Maybe she was really too busy. When she worked, she had a desperate energy that no man could match.

The two-day schedule ended without any surprises. On the morning of the third day, Fang Zhenqian calmly rushed to the airport and prepared to return.

After boarding the plane, he quickly found his seat, but suddenly found that Hua Mei was already sitting next to him, smiling at him. He didn't know whether it was purely a coincidence or she did it on purpose.

Although there were turmoil in his heart, he remained calm on the face, and he sat down in his seat expressionlessly.

"Why, you see that I am very unhappy." Hua Mei could feel the ups and downs in his heart, and teased him a little bit.

Fang Zhenqian raised his eyebrows, "How come, it's just a little unexpected. Where are your two little followers?"

"They are coming to Hainan for the first time, so they want to stay for two days. Anyway, tomorrow is Saturday."

Fang Zhenqian casually picked up the magazines in the net pocket on the front seat and flipped through them. Hua Mei stopped talking tactfully when he was not going to continue the conversation. There is no need to rush for a two-hour trip.

Soon, the plane took off.

After the flight stabilized, Hua Mei also took out the notebook in her bag, thinking and adding something back and forth.

Today, she gathered her hair up, exposing her snow-white neck, which set off the graceful curves and good features of her face. She was originally a very attractive person, but now because of her focused thinking, she showed a kind of intellectual beauty.

Fang Zhenqian turned his head slightly and looked at her quietly. This was the first time he had observed her so closely in the eight years since they parted.

Although she is still beautiful, the saying that time makes people old is really true. The small wrinkles that have not been completely covered up even after retouching have crept up the corners of her eyes, adding a bit of vicissitudes to her.

His heart felt bitter for no reason, this woman was once his favorite, and he cared for her like a treasure.Until now, because of him, he was still alone in a state of anxiety, and he didn't know what to do with her.

Sighing silently, he closed his eyes and leaned on the back of the chair in a daze.

Near noon, the plane began to distribute lunch, and the food was pitifully scarce as usual.Fang Zhen finished his hay, packed up the garbage, and waited for the stewardess to collect it.

Hua Mei handed him a box of fried noodles, "You can eat, I'm not hungry."

"No, I'm enough."

Hua Mei stretched out her hand stubbornly, it's not like she hasn't seen his appetite before.

"Enough is enough. You forgot that when you ate in the school cafeteria with me, you could eat a whole pot of rice. I even made fun of you for being a rice bucket."

Recalling the past, Fang Zhenqian's facial curves also softened. He didn't hold on any longer, and took it casually, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter when. Sigh, when I was a student, I always felt that I didn't have enough to eat."

After the meal, the atmosphere gradually became more harmonious.The two chatted endlessly, as if there was a tacit understanding, and everyone deliberately bypassed some sensitive topics.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and before I knew it, another half an hour would arrive.

Unexpectedly, the plane shook, slightly at first, and then intensified. The passengers were shaken around, and they began to complain in panic.

The stewardess hurriedly came out and explained that there was a turbulence, so please stay calm, it won't be long.

So everyone calmed down and endured again.But the back and forth shaking didn't lessen.

Suddenly, a passenger by the window shouted, "There is lightning ahead."

The passengers suddenly became nervous. It is extremely dangerous to encounter lightning strikes during the flight.

Just when everyone was feeling uneasy, the soft voice of the flight attendant came from the radio, "Passengers, please pay attention, because there is a minefield ahead, the plane will go up again to avoid lightning, please check again to ensure that you fasten your seat belts, and go up. During the process, the plane will be bumpy due to the airflow, please don't be nervous..."

People were in a hurry, and their hearts became as heavy as the weather.

Because Hua Mei hadn't fastened her seat belt just now, she had to fix it. One end of the seat belt got stuck in the gap between the chair and the bulkhead, and she couldn't get it out no matter what.

"I'll do it." Fang Zhenqian leaned over to help her.

Hua Mei leaned back slightly, Fang Zhenqian's body was half floating on her lap, the masculine aura emanating from him was mixed with a faint fragrance of aftershave, rushing towards her, making her intoxicated.

Soon, the end of the seat belt was pulled out, Fang Zhenqian picked up the other end by the way, and locked it for her with a click.

"Don't worry." He smiled at her.

Hua Mei was actually not afraid, she was even a little happy, because this opportunity allowed her to see Fang Zhenqian who she was familiar with and could rely on again.

The plane began to accelerate and pull up.People looked out of the cabin worriedly, and the shiny silver snakes not far away were dancing strangely in the air, as if they could hit them at any time.
