Chapter 14, Mother-in-Law Calls

"Beep!" A sound came from the table. Hua Yueyue raised her head and faced the bright light for a long time, feeling a little blind for a while.

He pushed up his glasses and squinted to look at the person, it was Yu Haichen.

"Still working overtime?" Nonsense, it's already this time, aren't you working overtime, are you waiting for him? Well, Hua Yueyue was startled by her own thoughts, and then she lowered her head and took off her eyes, pretending to rub them.

"Have you had dinner?" Glancing at her messy table, there were no snacks except a glass of already cold water.

"Not yet." He told the truth.

"Let's just come here tonight and let's eat together. I haven't eaten either."

After saying that, Hua Yueyue turned around to leave without waiting for an answer. Then she turned back and added: "I'm treating you."

Hua Yueyue twitched the corner of her mouth, looked at the drawing on the computer, added the last few strokes - saved - and turned off the computer power;

After clocking in and walking to the door, Yu Haichen leaned outside the car and waited for her. When he saw her coming out, he opened the car door, raised his chin, and motioned for her to get in!

Hua Yueyue carried her bag and quickly got into the car.

"What to eat?"

"Whatever." As long as you can eat enough.

"This time - how about hot pot?"

"Okay." She is not picky about food.

Yu Haichen came to a hot pot restaurant with familiarity. Hua Yueyue got off the car first, and Haichen parked the car and walked into the hot pot restaurant together.

There were not many people in the store at this time, so they found a table for two by the window and sat down.

"What ingredients do you two want?" The waiter lazily came up to order.

Yu Haichen asked Hua Yueyue with his eyes , and Hua Yueyue shook her head.

"Let's have some of your store's special pot base, just don't add spicy food." After saying that, he ordered a few more side dishes. After the waiter left, Yu Haichen poured tea for Hua Yueyue .

"Thank you." Hua Yueyue picked up the tea and took a sip. She didn't feel very hungry at work just now, but now she felt hungry with her chest touching her back.

"You have worked hard these days. The exhibition will start in three days, so you don't have to work overtime tomorrow."

If the little girl heard this, she would probably jump with joy, but Hua Yueyue just nodded lightly. She was used to working overtime.

Probably because they were all hungry, they didn't talk much while eating. The hot pot meal didn't end until Hua Yueyue felt her stomach was full. Yu Haichen was also full. He wiped his mouth slowly and called the waiter.

After paying the bill, they walked out of the hot pot restaurant together. The night wind was a bit cold. Hua Yueyue glanced at her phone and saw that it was already past 21 o'clock in the evening.

"We just finished eating, let's take a walk to digest?" Yu Haichen suggested, and Hua Yueyue nodded meaninglessly.

"Are you cold?" Hua Yueyue wore a windbreaker, which was fine. So he shook his head.

There were very few vehicles on the road. They walked slowly along the road, and no one spoke for a while.

"Didi!" The sharp whistle of an electric car came from behind, and Yu Haichen subconsciously grabbed Hua Yueyue and took her aside.

Hua Yueyue's steps were messy for a while, she found herself leaning in Yu Haichen's arms. She stood up straight in embarrassment and thanked him in a low voice: "Thank you." Yu Haichen frowned and let her go.

After the minor accident, they continued walking.

"Do you want to go to the exhibition next month?" Yu Haichen asked.

Hua Yueyue thought for a while and answered honestly: "A little bit." She rarely goes out, especially far away.

"You are a pattern designer, so you need to learn and experience. If you want to improve yourself, you need to broaden your horizons."

"Um!"

Then there was another moment of silence...

Yu Haichen looked at his watch, it was 22:00 sharp at night;

"It's getting late. We have to go to work tomorrow. Let's go back."

"good."

As Yu Haichen drove the car, Hua Yueyue looked at him quietly. His profile was very stylish, and he looked vaguely mysterious in the dim light - she had never seen him so carefully before...

Yu Haichen concentrated on driving and didn't say anything to Hua Yueyue .

Soon they returned to their residence, half an hour later. Hua Yueyue got out of the car and waved goodbye, then turned around in front of Haichen.

A few days passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the October national holiday.

[Holiday notice: The company is on holiday during the national holiday. Those who go to the exhibition on the 8th, please sit down and prepare. 】Not long after I got to work early in the morning, there was an information notification from the Human Resources Department in the company group;

"Wow, five days of vacation, Sister Hua, where are you going to play?" The little girl started planning her trip excitedly.

Hua Yueyue glanced at her and leaned back on the chair in boredom. Her head hurt a little, so she rubbed her temples and answered her softly: "I don't want to go there. I'll sleep at home." She wanted to use up all her energy in the past few days. Give it a supplement.

"Hey, that's so boring. How about we form a group and go mountain climbing?" Mountain climbing? Want her life? Hua Yueyue ’s head hurt even more.

At this time, her phone rang, and she saw the call - mother-in-law! He immediately sat upright and answered the phone, and made a silencing gesture to his little sister.

"Hello, mom?"

"Hua Yueyue , it's me." Yu Haichen's mother's less than standard Mandarin came from the other end of the phone.

"What's the matter, Mom?" Hua Yueyue stood up and walked to the window.

"Nothing, it's just National Day. I wanted to ask if you guys have a holiday. Do you want to go home for a meal?" Yu Haichen's parents live in an old house in the countryside, and they rarely go back.

Now divorced, Hua Yueyue was a little hesitant. After thinking about it, she said, "Mom, I'll ask Yu Haichen. I'll call you later."

"Okay, you go ask him. Then I'll hang up."

After hanging up the phone, Hua Yueyue went to see the vice president's office, but Yu Haichen was not there. I probably went to another meeting or was called away by my boss.

So she sent him a message to tell him;

[Your mother called me just now and asked if she would come home for dinner during the holiday? 】

Waited for a while but no reply

So she specially loved him

Still no reply!

Maybe you really didn’t look at your phone?

So Hua Yueyue had no choice but to check it out later.

As a result of this delay, she only remembered it when she was free !

There was no reply to Yu Haichen’s message! !

what happened? Did you not see her or just don’t want to talk to her?

She promised Yu Haichen's mother that she would reply to her letter--

Haichen was nowhere to be seen until after get off work. She was a little impetuous and didn't want to ask others. It was better not to draw too much attention to their current relationship.

"Sister Hua, are you still working overtime tonight?" The younger sister blinked at Hua Yueyue .

Hua Yueyue put down her phone, looked at her, shook her head and said, "No more, the pattern has been completed."

"Wow, Sister Hua is Sister Hua. She has managed it all. I admire her." The little girl gave a thumbs up.

Hua Yueyue rolled her eyes at her , "Flattery!"

"The vice president seems to be very busy today. No one has been seen all day." The little girl raised her head and muttered to herself. Hua Yueyue lowered her eyes and picked up the teacup to drink tea as if nothing had happened. He said casually: "Yes, everyone has been very busy recently."

"Right, Sister Hua also thinks he is very busy, right? He doesn't even come to our design department!"

"What's wrong? Are you looking for abuse ?"

"That's not possible, I just feel it's a pity--" The little girl smiled mischievously, her eyebrows and eyes so cute.

Hua Yueyue snorted coldly: "Xiao Zhang rarely comes here recently? I guess he is too busy to keep his feet off the ground."

"Yeah, he's quite busy too."

"Have you decided where to go during the holidays?" Hua Yueyue asked .

"Well, I have agreed with my sisters to go to Gemstone Mountain, climb mountains during the day, and watch the night view at night. I heard that the night view there is very psychedelic."

"Gem Mountain - a place where Internet celebrities check in."

"Ah, I didn't expect Sister Hua to know where Internet celebrities check in?"

"Nonsense!" Hua Yueyue rolled her eyes. She just didn't like going out, but she wasn't ignorant.

"Have Sister Hua decided where to go?" the younger sister asked casually, but Hua Yueyue was silent.

Remembering that Yu Haichen's mother had not responded yet, she picked up her phone and sent Yu Haichen a message.
