Chapter 14

Jiang Yichen was about to talk to Xu Mo about something that failed last night, but he didn't expect to see a picture of Xu Mo and Lu Ziheng hugging each other.

Is it because this man suddenly asked him to break off the engagement?Jiang Yichen looked at Lu Ziheng from beginning to end.This man seemed gentle and harmless, but since the first meeting, he felt a kind of oppressive force from Lu Ziheng.

This person is definitely not as humble and docile as he appears on the surface, and Jiang Yichen can be sure that he is very upset to see him!You can feel the occasional sharpness in Lu Ziheng's eyes!It's just that he had some scruples about Xu Mo's position, and kept holding back, pretending it didn't matter.

When Jiang Yichen came back to his senses, he realized that he had inadvertently compared Lu Ziheng with himself.

What absurdity!Why should he compare with him.

Xu Mo looked up again, and the place where Jiang Yichen was standing just now was empty.

he's gone.

At the dinner table, Xu Mo and Lu Ziheng fed each other. They looked really sweet, but it made the atmosphere at the dinner table even more awkward.

Jiang Yichen was unhappy.Because of Jiang Yichen's silence and what happened at Jiang Tongling's wedding a few days ago, Xu Xiaojin felt sad and worried, and eating food was as uncomfortable as swallowing iron slag.She felt that Jiang Yichen seemed to have changed a little bit, and she didn't know if it was her illusion.She always had an ominous premonition about their future.

"You are too thin, you need to eat more, or the child will suffer from poor nutrition and development." Jiang Yichen brought food for Xu Xiaojin.

Xu Xiaojin felt a warm feeling in her heart when she heard Jiang Yichen's words.It must have been her overthinking. After the wedding that day, Jiang Yichen told her that resuming the marriage contract was just a stopgap measure. When the turmoil passed and the project was won, everything would be over...

The meal was quite weird, Lu Ziheng and Jiang Yichen seemed to be in harmony with each other, but they could always feel a kind of subtle friction, especially when Lu Ziheng and Xu Mo were getting close.

Gao Jing rounded up the situation from time to time, trying to ease the tense atmosphere, and trying to get a few people to communicate.The four of them are all his friends, so it's really not good to make such a fuss.

"You brothers and sisters really worry me a lot. I won't beat around the bush anymore. I invite you to my house this time. First, I want you to come to my new home to have fun. Second, I want you to clear up your knots. The elders have their scruples and plans, and the marriage will eventually fall on me. You are all my important friends, and I feel like brothers and sisters. I really don't want to see you get hurt."

Young people are allowed to make mistakes, but if the mistakes are too deep, they will fall into them in their lifetime, and it will be too late to remedy them later. "Yi Chen, tell me what you plan to do with sister Xu Mo and Miss Xu."

Before Jiang Yichen could speak, Xu Mo took the lead, "Little Fourth Brother, you don't have to worry about this matter, we... each will find our own happiness."

The meaning of this sentence could not be more obvious.Jiang Yichen stared deeply at Xu Mo, although it was the truth, he always felt unhappy.

Lunch broke up badly. Gao Jing said earlier that the afternoon was free time, and at night he went to the top of the mountain to light a bonfire for barbecue.The villas in Fengxiang Mountain are all built on the mountain, overlooking the city, and away from the hustle and bustle, it is a rare mountain forest in the city.

Xu Mo and Lu Ziheng sat on a bluestone on the mountainside, bent the dogtail grass in their hands into various shapes, and tied a few knots.The air in the mountains is fresh and green, which makes people feel refreshed.

"Hey..." Xu Mo leaned her head on Lu Ziheng's shoulder and asked, "Are you really not going to study abroad?"

"Not going." When Lu Ziheng replied, Xu Mo seemed to feel his magnetic male voice echoing in his body, and his Adam's apple was also moving up and down.Xu Mo reached out and touched his chin and Adam's apple.Why didn't I find out before that he was actually quite masculine.

"You want to make me feel guilty on purpose, and then feel sorry for you, so you dare not leave you, don't you?"

Lu Ziheng grabbed Xu Mo's hand with his slightly rough hands, and said anxiously: "Of course not, I won't tie you up and restrict your freedom." Not now, nor in the future.

Xu Mo smiled maliciously, and scratched the tip of his nose with the other hand: "You're kidding! You're in a hurry."

A woman scratching the nose of a big man is a bit funny, but also sweet.

Lu Ziheng's other hand grabbed Xu Mo's hand and held her hands in his palm: "Of course I know you're teasing me, but if I don't, you should be really angry."

This guy has a lot of twists and turns in his head.

"Then how do you plan to support me in the future?" Xu Mo asked Lu Ziheng.

Future and career are very important things for a man.A man like Lu Ziheng would not be reconciled to living an ordinary and mediocre life.Thinking of this, Xu Mo was even more moved by his choice.He finally gave up the opportunity to study abroad because of her.Ten years ago, studying abroad was still a promising path.

"Do you think I have no money?" Lu Ziheng asked Xu Mo, his expression seemed to be the same, but Xu Mo could see a gloomy look in his eyes.He was worried, worried that she would mind?In her previous life, this man had been by her side for more than ten years, and even gave her his life. What could be better than that? She had no reason to hesitate.

"Of course I will dislike it." Xu Mo pretended to be unhappy, and Lu Ziheng was momentarily stunned, "But I'd better marry you reluctantly, the rich start out as ordinary people, it is said that when my dad lost money in business when he was young and couldn't find a direction, I set up a stall to sell leather shoes.”

Lu Ziheng's eyes lit up again, he parted his mouth and smiled, revealing his canine teeth, and Xu Mo tapped the bright white teeth with his index finger.

Lu Ziheng hugged Xu Mo into his arms, so excited that he didn't know what to say, so he hugged Xu Mo even tighter.

"Mo, you are really the best... the best woman in the world."

"It's good to know."

Xu Mo was hugged by Lu Ziheng, and her sense of happiness soared. Ever since the cold war, she found that she fell in love with his hug deeply.

Lu Ziheng told Xu Mo that he wanted to open a pottery shop.After hearing this, Xu Mo thought it was a good idea. She had seen the ceramic gadgets in Lu Ziheng's room, and they were more exquisite and unique than the famous ceramics she had seen before.Talent is indeed an amazing thing.

Lu Ziheng took out a small finger-sized ceramic cup, red and white, tied with a red string, and put it in Xu Mo's hand.

"What is this? A cup?" Xu Mo looked at the small thing in her hand, the red color was bright and eye-catching.

Lu Ziheng held Xu Mo's hand: "This is the first cup I made in my life, and it will also be the last..."

Giving a cup is giving away your whole life.

Xu Mo readily accepted it.

"Then why don't you make it bigger?"

"It's so easy to carry, you can carry it with you every day."

"Are you cornering the corner and asking me to take it with you every day?"

"……Correct."

"Okay, I approve."

Xu Mo and Lu Ziheng sat together for half an afternoon and didn't feel bored. Instead, they felt comfortable and happy. Looking at the small porcelain cup on their wrists, they felt happy.

"Why don't you ask me what's going on?" Xu Mo hesitated for a long time, and finally asked the knot in her heart.She and Jiang Yichen resumed their engagement, but Lu Ziheng never asked her.

Lu Ziheng looked down at her with deep eyes: "Because I trust you, I don't ask."

He lied, not because he believed her and didn't ask, but... Even if all this was true, he couldn't let her go.Even if her kindness to him is an illusion and poison, he is willing to fall into her trap willingly.Moreover, based on his understanding of Xu Mo's personality, she would never leave him like this...

Even though he thought so, Lu Ziheng still had a kind of contempt for himself in his heart. He despised himself for loving so humblely, but he still didn't want to let her go...

If there is anything in the world that makes him willingly let go of his self-esteem and become so humble, it is estimated that there is only this woman...

In the evening, the sunset glow is red, and the top of the mountain is more green under the dark blue sky.Gao Jing invited a few Qin Lang who were young, and Jiang Tongling and his wife heard that there was going to be a bonfire for a barbecue at night, so they rushed to join in the fun.There are also a couple of experienced hunters.

There is a mountain stream on the south side of Fengxiang Mountain, which is gurgling. The location of the campfire is chosen on the flat stone ground beside the stream.

Gao Jing introduced Lu Ziheng and the newcomers, so they got to know each other.

While it was still dark, the men's job was to collect firewood in the mountains, and the women, led by the old hunter's wife, packed the food.Jiang Tongling said with a smile that this division of labor is like a primitive society.Husband Li Luji praised it very vividly.

As night fell, the bonfire was raging, and the firewood was burning crisply.Flames shot up into the sky like stars.The fireworks are like a fire lotus burning on the stone.

Several people sat around the campfire.There was a rabbit on the fire, and the old hunter was very skilled at roasting meat.On the surface, Gao Jing and Jiang Yichen also seemed to have forgotten the unhappiness at noon. Several men sat in a pile, drank some wine, were very excited, and played a game of guessing the length of the stick.Each person holds a wooden stick and looks for the shortest one. If he fails to guess correctly, he will be punished with alcohol.

The three women, Xu Mo, Xu Xiaojin, and Jiang Tongling sat on one side, but remained silent.Jiang Tongling glanced at Xu Xiaojin, feeling strange.I don't know what Gao Jing was thinking, why did he call this woman here?He knew she was Jiang Yichen and Xu Mo's intervening party.

Jiang Tongling purposely chatted briefly with Xu Mo's sister-in-law, and ignored Xu Xiaojin.Xu Xiaojin's face became more and more serious, and she felt that she was about to feel ashamed.She has the self-esteem and pride she insisted on, but now, it seems that the arrogance she once insisted on has become cheap and ridiculous.

After chatting for a while, Jiang Tongling was hugged by her husband Li Luji to help him guess the length, so only Xu Xiaojin and Xu Mo were left, like two ice sculptures placed by the campfire, sitting together silently.

Just when Xu Mo was going to join the lively camp over there, Xu Xiaojin suddenly said to her:
"sorry."

Xu Mo glanced at Xu Xiaojin.

"Why did you say sorry to me?"

"I was too sad that day, so..." Xu Xiaojin paused, "I already know that it is expedient for you and Chen to resume their engagement, so I'm sorry, I embarrassed you that day."

"How do you know it's an expedient measure, not Jiang Yichen's reluctance to let me go?" Xu Mo said this on purpose to anger her.

"He won't lie to me."

Xu Mo didn't want to talk to her, but Xu Xiaojin continued:

"But I lied to him. I... I'm not pregnant."

"what?!"

Xu Mo couldn't believe it.She is not pregnant?Was she lying all that day?
Xu Xiaojin put her hands on her lower abdomen, and the burning flames were reflected in her pitch-black eyes, making her look a little coquettish.For the first time, Xu Mo felt that maybe Xu Xiaojin was not as weak and uninitiated as she had thought for a long time.

Xu Xiaojin silently looked at the ground.The reason why she said that that day was because Jiang Yichen's choice made her too sad, angry and desperate for a while.Last month, Xu Xiaojin's mother was hospitalized because of a breast tumor and had to have all of her left breast removed.But her mother is a person who loves beauty as much as her life. Cutting off one of her breasts is simply as good as killing her with a knife.The day of Jiang Tongling's wedding was the day when Xu Xiaojin's mother was on the operating table, but on that day her mother suddenly disappeared and could not be found anywhere.In a panic, Xu Xiaojin had no choice but to go to Jiang Yichen, who knew that such a big mess would happen...

"Aren't you afraid that I will tell Jiang Yichen if you tell me? Believe it or not, if I tell him this, he might dump you right away."

One of the things Jiang Yichen hates the most in his life is being cheated and threatened by others, especially when it comes to relationships.

"You are not that kind of woman, I believe in you." Xu Xiaojin looked at Xu Mo firmly, and said no, but unconsciously clenched her hands nervously.

She is betting.Xu Mo could see it, but she didn't intend to fight her in this life, she was tired from fighting, and besides, she did many things that hurt her in her previous life.

"Yes, I'm really not interested in bothering about this trivial matter now, but..." Xu Mo looked at Xu Xiaojin's clean face, "Please put away your naive thoughts, and don't trust me so self-righteously!"

Xu Xiaojin's face stiffened, and she smiled unnaturally.She is indeed a smart woman, who has a thorough understanding of human temperament.She was right, at least not this time.The fake pregnancy will be exposed sooner or later. If Xu Mo has the heart, she will find out soon. Why don't you tell her earlier and see what she thinks in her heart.Furthermore, Xu Mo took the initiative to tell Jiang Yichen and sue him, it was better than Jiang Yichen himself found out that it would be better to ask her to question...

Xu Xiaojin looked at Jiang Yichen on the opposite side of the bonfire, worrying.

Paper can't hold fire, and the fake pregnancy will be exposed sooner or later, what should I do when the time comes...

Except for Xu Xiaojin, they all got a little bit drunk afterward, lying by the stream and looking at the stars in the sky.The flame gradually burned down.

Xu Mo sat up and looked sideways at Jiang Yichen who was lying on the ground.Who would have thought that the normally suave boss of the company, the young master of the Jiang family, was now lying on the ground with a disfigured Da Lala, and he was so sloppy that he smelled of wine and flesh.

Xu Mo looked at Jiang Yichen coldly, but she didn't want him to look over suddenly.

"You're peeking at me." Jiang Yichen said in a low voice, and the rest of the people were either drowsy or drunk, and didn't notice the movement here.

"I've never seen such a narcissistic person like you. Overestimate yourself!"

"When will we dissolve the engagement and make a clean break?" Jiang Yichen also sat up.

"Could it be that you are still not willing?"

Xu Mo mocked, but didn't want Jiang Yichen to say after being silent, "I'm a bit reluctant..."

Xu Mo was surprised when he heard this. "Are you crazy?"

Jiang Yichen looked at Xu Mo, his eyes were calm: "I also think I'm crazy...it seems like I'm in love with you..."

The following words were spoken in a very low voice, Xu Mo couldn't hear clearly, nor was she interested in hearing clearly.

Seeing Xu Mo's disdain and indifference towards him, Jiang Yichen was disappointed and annoyed.Is he a masochist... Obviously this woman is a hedgehog, she will stab him a few times when she gets the chance.

How could he never forget such a hateful woman...

Now that Xu Xiaojin was pregnant with his child, he couldn't abandon her.

Jiang Yichen only felt a severe pain in his temple.He had never been so upset in his life.This Xu Mo is definitely the nemesis who came to clean him up!
