Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Loving Couple
It was already five o'clock in the afternoon when He Xiyan got off work. She was walking on the pedestrian street of Shenzhen City alone with a handbag. Many stores on both sides of the street are decorated with festive decorations, and there are huge crowds of people here.
Before you know it, it's the end of the year. Today is January 27th, December 25th in the lunar calendar. It's almost the end of the year, and even their company is on holiday. Internet companies are good at this. They pay attention to humanization in management and efficiency in work. This Spring Festival holiday is earlier than companies in other industries.
She went to a women's lingerie store to buy a set of home clothes for herself, and then went to a mother and baby store to buy some things for pregnant women, such as radiation protection clothing, bras for pregnant women, special toiletries, and so on.
Just as she was about to reach out to buy a set of toiletries, another woman's hand suddenly landed on it.
It was a woman who looked a few years older than her, with shoulder-length hair and pregnancy spots on her face due to pregnancy. She is not a very good-looking woman, but her face is full of happiness.
"This is the last set, can you give it to me?" The woman nodded politely towards He Xiyan.
He Xiyan's eyes turned from the woman's face to her hand, and only then did she realize that the woman's other hand was tightly held by a man. It was an ordinary-looking man, even slightly Fat, but the man looked at his wife with love and pampering in his eyes, and there was a little boy standing beside the man, a family of three.
The man also nodded politely to He Xiyan, "I'm sorry, miss, my wife has been using this brand of toiletries since she was pregnant, and she is not used to other brands. There is only one set here. Can you make it for her?"
After all, the man smiled at his wife, full of love.
He Xiyan just looked at the couple's clenched hands, and the man's doting love for his wife, as if she had been electrocuted, she quickly withdrew her hand.
It's just that the moment her hand was withdrawn, her heart suddenly twitched, and there was a slight pain.
She caressed her still flat belly, a layer of ripples slowly appeared in her eyes, and after blinking a few times, a tear rolled down her eyes.
She is also a pregnant woman, but there is no man by her side to accompany her, and no man has ever spoiled or loved her like that, and no man has even gone shopping with her.
Her baby is even more pitiful. The baby will not have a father, and he will never get that father's love for the rest of his life.
(I'm sorry, baby, it's useless for mom to keep your dad.)
she said in her heart.
Back home, she was still living her own life, lonely and quiet.
She made herself a nutritious dinner, and made a glass of milk by the way.
This is her life, eating alone, shopping alone, laughing alone, and crying alone.
The phone rang several times at this moment.
It was a WeChat message sent to her by one of her former seniors, Yang Mingyu.
She pursed her slightly cool lips, and looked at the information lightly with her eyes:
——Xi Yan, you have to take care of yourself and don't do stupid things.
——Don't think about Mo Yixuan anymore, that man is not worthy of you.
——You are a good girl, and you will be very happy in the future.
He Xiyan just looked at these messages until the screen went black. She did not respond to those messages. She was tired, as if she wanted to forget all the people she knew before, whether they were friends, classmates, or colleagues.
Because they still care about themselves, but every time they call or send messages, it reminds her of the past, and then she can't help crying.
So she is afraid to contact them now. It's really scary.
The doorbell rang at this time.
She took out a tissue and wiped the corners of her eyes, then turned and walked to the door.
And as soon as she opened the door, she saw Ye Hao holding an LED light in one hand and carrying a ladder in the other.
