Chapter 23 Strangeness

After the cocktail party, Yinuo went back a little late. When he entered the door, his grandma was still watching TV in the living room.

"Grandma, why aren't you sleeping yet?" Yinuo changed his shoes and turned off the light in the hall.

"It's still early. I can't sleep even if I go to bed so early. Do you want something to eat?" Grandma put down the remote control in her hand and asked with concern.

"I'm full! My mouth is just a little dry. The vegetable oil in the restaurant is very salty." Yinuo said as he put down his bag. After hearing this, grandma stood up and went to pour water. Yinuo said hurriedly, "Grandma, don't be busy. , I’ll do it myself, just a glass of water, I can’t pour it anywhere.”

Grandma didn't listen to Yinuo at all. She went to the kitchen and poured a cup of warm water and handed it to Yinuo.

"It's okay to be idle, grandma. You're tired, please sit down and rest for a while." Grandma patted the empty space next to her.

Yinuo sat down and said coquettishly, “Grandma is the best. Grandma, you don't know, eating is so tiring, it's like singing in a show. After you flatter me, I will flatter you."

"Who praised my Yinuo? They must have said that my Yinuo is good-looking." Grandma smiled.

"Grandma! With such a big belly like me, who said I'm good-looking?" Yinuo pouted.

“A big belly is beautiful too!”

"Grandma, you are the only one who thinks so."

…

In fact, grandma is not the only one who thinks so.

Grandma arrived and Yinuo's house became lively.

Every day when I go back, there is warm light waiting for me at home. The food is hot on the table, and grandma is waiting for her to start the meal with a smile.

Xu Ling often came to join in the fun. Every day, Yinuo felt like he was back when he was a child. His grandma was busy with herself every day and was very happy.

Yinuo's belly also grew longer. Grandma's eyes are always smiling.

Chen Yang didn't know why, but he always saw Xia Yinuo. Every time he saw her belly, he always felt nervous, but he couldn't find the reason for the nervousness. Xia Yinuo, like a mouse hiding from a cat, always wants to hide his belly every time he sees him. How can he hide such a big belly? Chen Yang always finds it funny every time he sees Xia Yinuo's expression of trying to hide his belly.

Today, Chen Yang arrived twenty minutes early. After entering the gate, he saw Xia Yinuo a few steps away.

"Good morning, Vice President." Xiao Li from the technical department shouted respectfully and walked quickly past him.

"Morning." Chen Yang replied.

While talking, Chen Yang came behind Xia Yinuo. She seemed startled, turned around, and shouted, "Good morning, Vice President!"

Chen Yang has never noticed pregnant people. Only words like potbelly come to mind.

Xia Yinuo seemed different, with a delicate face, no makeup, and her hair was tightly tied, with only the shorter hair around her ears swaying playfully in the wind. A floral dress with a thin jacket on top, cleverly half-covering her belly.

"Why are you here so early?"

This time was indeed a bit early. There were very few people walking around the factory area, and there was still some distance from the gate to the management area, which made Yinuo a little nervous.

"Yeah! I was afraid of the rush on the road, so I went out earlier."

Yinuo has a cautious temperament, and she is even more careful when she is pregnant. She can't go out too late, and she can be more relaxed when she goes out earlier, so emergencies are less likely to happen. If there is any situation on the road, she has time to solve it, and she won't be anxious.

Chen Yang glanced over again and said something, and her face turned red. She was so shy.

Xia Yinuo was too timid, too thin-skinned, and too shy, just like that morning...

The strangeness in his body made Chen Yang suddenly stop laughing, and he cursed himself in his heart, "What am I thinking!" You can react even if you look at a pregnant woman, you are too obscene.

Chen Yang frowned slightly, I am not abstinent! Suddenly, his brows widened again, and he thought to himself, I am too powerful and invincible.

No one knew that this ruthless playboy could be such a stinker at this moment.

By the way, why did I enter the wrong room that day? That night seemed quite wonderful...

Chen Yang shook his head and walked quickly to the front.

Yinuo looked at his back and whispered in his heart, what a rude guy, he didn't say a word.

Chen Yang felt a little irritable all morning.

At noon, Chen Yang received a call from Zhang Ziyu and suppressed his emotions.

"Yang, are you free today? I heard that Tangli's private kitchen is very delicious. Let's try it together tonight?" Zhang Ziyu's voice was high-pitched and extremely coquettish.

"Yes! I'll pick you up in the evening." Chen Yang agreed immediately.

"Then I'll wait for you!"

Internet celebrity Zhang Ziyu was overjoyed. She put down the phone and muttered, “Why is Chen Yang so talkative today? As soon as I said it, he agreed."

Zhang Ziyu didn't know what Chen Yang was thinking, and didn't worry about it. He just happily prepared his makeup and clothes for the evening. Women are pleasing to the eye, and this has been the case since ancient times.

In the evening, Chen Yang picked up Zhang Ziyu and went straight to Tangli's private kitchen.

Chen Yang looked at Zhang Ziyu, who was applying lipstick on his eyebrows and cheeks, and suddenly lost his appetite. After picking a few bites of vegetables and eating two bites of rice, Chen Yang put down his chopsticks.

"What's wrong? Doesn't it taste good?" Zhang Ziyu blinked her centimeter-long eyelashes and asked pretending to be shy.

"It's a bit spicy." Chen Yang replied casually.

"Is it spicy?" Zhang Ziyu was a little surprised. Is this Huaiyang cuisine? Zhang Ziyu glanced at Chen Yang who was careless and finished his meal quickly.

"I still have something to do at the company, so I'll leave first and give you a taxi."

Zhang Ziyu watched Chen Yang Juechen leave, feeling confused and stomping into the car.

——

Yinuo returned to the office and drank a glass of water before his pounding heart calmed down from the nervousness of meeting Chen Yang just now.

In the morning, Yinuo still had a lot of work to do, sorting out delivery orders, filling out forms, making vouchers, etc.

I have been busy working for an hour, and only half of the things on the table have been removed. Yinuo stopped and went to the toilet to stretch his body, which was almost stiff after sitting for a long time.

Returning to the table again, Zhang Qin also stopped to chat with Yinuo.

"Exhausted, there are so many invoices to print every day." Zhang Qin shook her arms and complained.

Zhang Qin's job is very simple, printing invoices and making reports every day. Run an errand or something. Anyway, every day’s work is fully arranged.

"Without so many invoices, the company would still be bankrupt." Yinuo said with a smile.

"That's true. If I'm free one day, ha! You'll have to find another employer." Zhang Qin winked.

Don't tell me, what Zhang Qin said is true.

"So! You'd better be busy. We are all counting on you." Yinuo smiled.

"My life is miserable!" Zhang Qin held her heart in one hand and wailed.

"Stop crying like a wolf. We are not all the same. Look at me, there are still a lot of lists!" Yinuo said, patting the list on the table that was very tired.

Zhang Qin looked at the pile of orders and stuck out his tongue, "Okay! You are also a miserable person, and we share the same pain."

After saying that, Zhang Qin seemed to remember something and looked around. Xiao Zhang was left looking at his phone in a corner of the office. Zhang Qin came over and asked in a low voice, “Hey! Mr. Hu didn't reduce your work?"

After Zhang Qin finished speaking, he looked at Yinuo's belly.

"No." Yinuo said blankly, "Maybe I'm not a month old and my belly is still small. However, my job is not heavy, just a little more cumbersome."

"Last time, Zhang Xiaoqing seemed to have mentioned it once, and Jiang Shuzhen seemed to have said that the financial work is not heavy and there is no need to reduce it. Besides, everyone has a lot of work on their hands, so who should take it?" Zhang Qin said in a lower voice, "You said Is she one of the first things a new official wants to do when he takes office? It’s you who have been burned. This is so immoral. You’re pregnant!”

"Who did you listen to? Why didn't I know?" Yinuo was curious, and there was such a thing.

"Zhang Xiaoqing." Zhang Qin spat out carefully.

"oh!"

Is Zhang Xiaoqing kind-hearted or thinking of something else? Yinuo couldn't figure it out.

"Jiang Shuzhen is right. My work is just tedious, not really heavy work. Don't spread this matter again. Otherwise, you will think that I am making trouble. It's not good." Yinuo said.

The less trouble, the better. Victory in a hundred battles is not as good as endurance, and ten thousand words are not as good as silence.

"I know." Zhang Qin took back his head, leaned on the back of the chair, and responded weakly.

This guy is not afraid of too much excitement or big trouble, he just loves to watch this and that show.

Yinuo shook his head and said with a smile, “Be energetic and finish the work quickly. Someone will hurry you up soon."

"You are so annoying, you only like to talk about these troublesome things." Zhang Qin turned her head reluctantly and started working.

Does Zhang Xiaoqing mean well?

Yinuo didn't quite believe it. She is not close to me, and she is not a kind and well-meaning person. If Yu Lan proposed it, it might be a good intention.

Why?

Yinuo couldn't understand.

If you don't understand it, don't think about it. Although she is making trouble with me, how can it still involve me if I stay out of it? Yinuo thought in his mind.

This matter was quickly forgotten by Yinuo. Because Qingming Festival is coming soon. Yinuo thought about going back one day to visit her mother's grave. Her mother liked to plant flowers, and she loved jasmine among flowers, but jasmine couldn't bloom at this time. Yinuo thought it would be better to buy some bright flowers, which her mother would definitely like too.

When I got home, my grandma mentioned it first.

"It's almost Qingming Festival. I have to go home to pay homage to my ancestors. You can eat at home, be careful not to drop it and don't do heavy work." Grandma put away the bowls and chopsticks to discuss with Yinuo.

Yinuo washed the apples, peeled them, and said, "I want to go to my mother's place too. Let me go back with grandma too!"

Yinuo usually goes back early to visit his mother's grave, and after visiting his mother's grave, he stays overnight at grandma's house before coming back.

Last year, Zihe and Yinuo went together. This year, I’m alone again. No, there is more Yueyue this year.

Grandma put down the washed dishes, wiped her hands, looked at Yinuo's pregnant body, and said, "Don't go. Don't go to the grave with a big belly. I'll let Zi Lin go. Just burn some paper money at home."

"Isn't this bad?" Yinuo didn't know this and was a little undecided. After all, Zilin is his aunt's son.

"Listen to me, your mother won't care if you don't go for a year. If you go, your mother will still worry about you. Besides, the yin energy in the cemetery is not good for the child in the belly. Be obedient! Zi Lin You call your mother my aunt no matter what, she deserves to be buried in her grave."

Grandma persuaded Yi Nuo.

Yinuo didn't quite understand these rules and customs, but grandma said that she was probably right. Yinuo thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. Mom must also want me and Yueyue to be well.

Three days before the Qingming Festival, Yinuo sent grandma to the station and she returned to her hometown.

Yinuo goes to work step by step. What Zhang Qin said was not spread in the company, so Yinuo breathed a sigh of relief.
