It was raining outside, and the rainwater fell on the window.
This sound could usually be a very good lullaby, but now it made Du Huayue upset. He kept pacing in the corridor. Du Xiaoxian had been in the labor ward for so long. But why didn't he hear her making any sound?
Today, only two pregnant women were brought into the ward. Not long after they were sent in, the other woman began to scream. Her voice was sharp and miserable as if she was being tortured. It made him tremble with fear. He was glad that he did not hear Du Xiaoxian screaming. However, although the other woman's cry occasionally rose or fell, her family outside was calm, especially the mother-in-law. She happily said to her son, "It is almost time. She should come out soon."
Sure enough, after a short while, the sound of a baby crying came from inside. Du Huayue and the family of the other woman all walked to the door of the labor ward. Soon, a nurse came out with the ba
Du Xiaoxian was sent back to the ward half an hour later. The doctors, nurses and Du Huayue worked together to carry her to the bed. Du Xiaoxian, who just had surgery, looked very weak. There was no trace of blood on her face. Although her eyes were open, her gaze was unfocused, looking upward weakly.Du Huayue was naturally distressed when he saw her appearance like this. Although Du Xiaoxian was not a very lively person, she had never been so weak.He moved the child's cradle close to the bed. "Xiaoxian, take a look at the child."Du Xiaoxian turned her head to the child. Her blank eyes finally got focused. Her mouth moved and she called out with difficulty, "Niannian."Du Huayue frowned unhappily. "I told you not to call her Niannian. Call her Niuniu."Du Xiaoxian was very weak but very stubborn. She called out again, "Niannian.""Okay, okay, we will call her Niannian," Du Huayue had no choice bu
Lu Haochen arrived at the company half an hour earlier than usual. There was no special reason. He was just seized by a whim.He was a very strict person. He liked to abide by the rules. He liked to set everything in a fixed position, whether at home or in the office. He was nostalgic and remained the same style. Even his girlfriend had been the same person for many years. She was the daughter of a wealthy family with a well-matched background. She was elegant and showed a good temperament. She was a perfect match for him. Unfortunately, on the eve of their wedding two years ago, she had a car accident and died. Since then, Lu Haochen had kept single. That was not because he loved being single. He just enjoyed such state and did not want to invest energy in cultivating another relationship.Seeing him coming so early, the security guard got startled. He quickly bowed and greeted Lu Haochen. Lu Haochen nodded slightly and entered the elevator. His off
Du Niannian sat upright on the chair and held her two small hands behind her back like an adult. She looked at her teacher with her big black eyes and listened to the teacher telling a story attentively.When Du Huayue appeared at the door, Ms. Cao turned her head and saw him. She nodded slightly at him and smiled. "Du Niannian, carry your bag and go home."Only then did Du Niannian see Du Huayue. She picked up her school bag beside her feet and ran to him happily. "Dad, dad."The teacher looked at them in confusion. Du Huayue smiled awkwardly and took Du Niannian's bag. He put it on his shoulder and told the child to say goodbye to the teacher. Then, he quickly took her out.Only after they left the kindergarten did Du Huayue scold her. "Niannian, what's wrong with you? Didn't I tell you to call me uncle? Why did you call me daddy again?"Du Niannian pouted. "Today, a chubby child said that I didn't have a fath
However, Du Xiaoxian's wishful thinking was wrong. Although she was far away from him and escaped so fast, Lu Haochen still saw her petite body flashing away as lightly as a... little deer. Yes, she was like a little deer. However, Lu Haochen thought of the seven-colored divine deer in the cartoon that he watched when he was a child. Because he clearly saw that Du Xiaoxian's body was glowing with a ball of faint white light, illuminating the dark corridor. However, she disappeared in an instant. The light in Lu Haochen's eyes also dimmed. He frowned slightly as if he did not know why he stopped there.When he entered the office, the windows were bright and the table was clean. Everything was neatly arranged, without the slightest bit of mess. He sat down and lit a cigarette. The smoke rose into the air, and he was in a daze. Suddenly, he tilted his body to look at the document cabinet by the wall. Because it was dark under the cabinet, he could not see it clearly
Although Du Xiaoxian ran far away, Lu Haochen still could not suppress the inexplicable anger in his heart and kicked the mop far away.He sat down and lit a cigarette. He didn't know why he was so angry. He felt everything was wrong. From the morning when he went out, everything was wrong. He came to the company an hour earlier in order to see her. When he saw her, his eyes couldn't move away. Then she got panicked and made a mess, wetting her shoes. He had never seen such a clumsy person, so he was very angry. In his company, no one was incompetent. By his standard, she was quite incompetent today!How could such an incompetent person be arranged to clean his office?When Rose came to the company, as soon as she entered Lu Haochen's office, she found that something was wrong. There was water on the floor, cleaning tools were thrown aside, and the mop was far away in the corner. It seemed that someone threw it there.Lu Hao
Lu Haochen slowly walked to the desk and sat down. He said lightly, "You should call me Mr. Lu in the future. It is not suitable for you to call me boss."Du Xiaoxian did not understand why it was not suitable, but she nodded, "Yes, Mr. Lu."Only then did Lu Haochen smile. "Come in and talk to me."Du Xiaoxian walked in slowly with cleaning tools in her hands. She was still at a loss. She was here to do cleaning, but Lu Haochen asked her to come in and talk to him!"Why are you working downstairs today?""I got transferred.""You did well here. Why did they transfer you downstairs?" Lu Haochen knew that doing cleaning upstairs was easier than doing it downstairs. If someone abused his power to transfer her, Lu Haochen would like to intervene in this small matter.Du Xiaoxian did not say anything. She just lowered her head. How should she answer this? Could she say that she was transferr
Time flowed quietly like water.As they slowly got along, Du Xiaoxian gradually got used to Lu Haochen's presence and became a little braver in front of him. After finishing her job, she walked to the file cabinet and sneaked a glance at Lu Haochen. Seeing that he was concentrating on reading, she quietly bent down and was about to wipe the floor under the file cabinet. In the past few days, she had been wiping it with a mop. She always felt that it was not clean. So when Lu Haochen was not paying attention to her, she planned to wipe it again with a rag.As soon as she lay prone on the floor and her hand touched the floor under the file cabinet, she heard Lu Haochen coughing twice. Her heart skipped a beat and she did not move. She heard Lu Haochen saying, "Are you still not getting up?" Knowing that she had to face him, Du Xiaoxian got up and smiled awkwardly.Lu Haochen held the book in his hand, but his eyes were looking at her with
Du Xiaoxian did not notice Lu Haochen. She was excitedly telling Du Huayue what she was going to do with her newly paid salary. It had been a long time since she had received such a large sum of money. It would be a lie to say that she was not excited."Buy Niannian a flower-patterned dress and order a box of milk. Buy her meatballs once a week. By the way, I will also buy her a pair of sandals. Now her sandals were cracked and her tiptoes even protruded from them. And..." She tilted her head and thought for a moment. "Her canteen is also not working. The lid is not tight and I have to change it. I will buy you a razor and a box of beer. After work, I will buy some shrimp and fish. Let's have a good meal tonight!"Du Huayue laughed and gave her the meat from his plate. "By the time you finish buying all these things, there isn't much money left. How will you live the rest of the month?""How could that be? I have already calculated every
