Mu Shihuan vaguely felt an aura approaching, and her panic woke her up from her dream, and she opened her eyes suddenly.

Then, she saw Jiang Wen.

Jiang Wen held a thin blanket in his hand as if to cover her up.

Her eyelashes fluttered.

Jiang Wen explained in a gentle voice: "I'm afraid you'll catch a cold."

Mu Shihuan sat up.

Jiang Wen put away the thin blanket and said, "It's almost there, let's go eat hot pot."

"it is good."

Jiang Wen took a step back, and Mo Shihuan took advantage of the situation to stand up.

The two walked towards the restaurant one after the other.

The smell is tangy, this is Mu Shihuan's first reaction.

good smell.

When she saw the hot pot on the dining table, she would have more appetite.

"How is it?" Jiang Wen asked with a smile.

Mu Shihuan also laughed: "It's very fragrant and very appetizing, to be honest."

Jiang Wen opened the chair for her: "Then you are welcome."

"it is good."

The two sat down facing each other.

There were bowls and chopsticks in front of him, as well as the hot pot dipping sauce prepared by Jiang Wen.

"The dipping sauce for hot pot in Pingcheng and Jiangcheng is different, try Pingcheng's." Jiang Wen recommended.

Mu Shihuan was not polite to him.

She scalded a piece of fat beef and dipped it in sauce.

"How about it?"

"good."

The smile in Jiang Wen's eyes grew stronger: "Then eat more, don't think about anything."

Mo Shihuan looked at him: "Okay."

In the following time, the two of them said these words one after another, usually Jiang Wen said, and Mo Shihuan listened more.

Chatting around the hot pot, the atmosphere is not bad.

The mist is floating, and everything seems so beautiful.

Both ate more slowly.

It's just that no matter how slow you are, you will eventually stop when you are full.

Mu Shihuan wanted to help clean up the dishes, but Jiang Wen didn't allow it.

"I'll do it." He insisted not to let her do it, and urged her to the living room.

Mu Shihuan could only give up.

After a long time, Jiang Wen cleaned up the kitchen.

He brought a cup of her favorite scented tea and washed fruit to the living room, and sat on the other side of the sofa.

The two seem to be in harmony.

"I……"

"You have something to tell me, right?"

Four eyes facing each other.

Mu Shihuan looked at Jiang Wen's face and nodded.

……

"President Li, my wife and Dr. Jiang Wenjiang's... apartment, I met outside by chance, and it seems that there are only two of them." Thinking about the phone report from the first year of high school, Li Jingyan pursed her thin lips.

Feeling tight in his chest, he tugged on his tie.

But even so, breathing is still not smooth.

"En." After a long period of dullness, he only overflowed this word, and then cut off the phone.

With a bang, the phone was thrown on the table.

The screen is facing down and out of sight.

However, Li Jingyan still played back the words of the first year of high school in his mind.

very clear.

Breathing became more and more difficult, and even his chest seemed to be getting tighter. He pulled his tie again, unbuttoned two buttons, took out a cigarette, lit it and took a puff before he managed to feel better.

It's just that his eyes have been fixed on the phone and never leave.

His eyes are getting darker and darker.

I had the urge to call her and stop her, but instead of being sober and cold-eyed, I stopped him, and the tears on her face that night at the hot spring hotel were still vivid in my memory.

Including what she said.

Li Jingyan closed his eyes, the feeling of her powerlessness became more and more intense, pressing on his heart and making him suffer.

He opened it again.

The movement of the hand was one step faster than the thoughts in his mind, and by the time he realized something, he had picked up the phone again.

There are voices bewitching, hit as much as you want, don't regret it.

regret……

Will he regret it?
The fingertips unconsciously slid across the screen, and suddenly, Li Jingyan pressed a little force with his fingertips to enter the call page and pressed the familiar number.

It's just an eleven-digit number, and every time it loses to the tenth place, it will be deleted by him.

Repeatedly, I can't count how many times I have repeated it like this, and I don't even know how much time was wasted.

This was what Mo Yuan saw when he came in with the documents to be signed.

He guessed what it was.

"President Li." He handed him his mobile phone.

Li Jingyan suddenly remembered that his own number had long been blacklisted by Mo Shihuan, and he had to use someone else's to contact her.

But that night he told her about some allergies of the minister, but she didn't reply.

I don't know if Mo Yuan's number is the same as his own.

He still took Mo Yuan's phone.

Want to press that string of numbers...

"Let's work." He said with his eyes closed.

Mo Yuan was surprised.

But he handed the document to him to sign first.

But found...

"President Li, you... made a mistake." He pointed out the mistake.

Originally it was supposed to be Li Jingyan, but President Li wrote it as Mu Shihuan, so fast that he didn't even have time to stop it.

Seeing it, Li Jingyan threw away the pen, and pressed the center of her eyebrows with her fingertips.

Mo Yuan was hesitant at first, but at this moment he couldn't help but say: "Mr. Li, I think you and your wife have changed a lot."

Li Jingyan paused.

Seeing that he had no objection, Mo Yuan continued: "You are cautious, and your wife avoids seeing you. It's not in your character at all. Mr. Li, if this continues, the distance between you and your wife...will get farther and farther."

He sighed inwardly.

Li Jingyan was silent.

After a while, he said hoarsely, "You go out first."

"Yes." Mo Yuan agreed without taking his mobile phone away.

The office was quiet again.

But this silence didn't last long, Gao Yi called again.

"Mr. Li, the wife has left, and it was Jiang Wen who sent her back to Shi's home."

In an instant, Li Jingyan's throat was blocked and astringent.

After all, he couldn't hold back, he impulsively dialed Mu Shihuan's number.

The phone vibrated, and Mo Shihuan saw the string of numbers at a glance.

It belongs to Mo Yuan's number.

I just don't know whether it was Mo Yuan or him who called.

This thought flashed in her mind and was suppressed by her. She didn't want to accept it, but her hands slipped.

Now that the matter has come to this point, Mu Shihuan did not run away anymore.

"Is something wrong?" She asked calmly.

Li Jingyan's throat tightened.

Mu Shihuan then understood that the person on the other end of the phone was Li Jingyan, not Mo Yuan.

"What's the matter?" she repeated.

Li Jingyan pursed her thin lips tightly.

He spoke with a hoarse voice: "Xiaochen hasn't video-videoed with me today."

For the first time, he didn't have the courage to say anything else, but used the little minister as an excuse.

Mu Shihuan subconsciously looked at the time, and belatedly realized that usually around this time, Xiaochen would video or call him, but today Xiaochen forgot to bring the mobile phone Shi Tingzhou bought for him when he went out.

"Xiaochen didn't bring his mobile phone. He was playing outside with my uncle and aunt. When he comes back tomorrow, I will let him contact you." She said indifferently, as if there were no emotional ups and downs.

Li Jingyan's hand holding the phone tightened unconsciously.

The talk should end here.

But he didn't want to.

But Mu Shihuan was one step ahead of him.

"That's it." She said and ended the call.

"Beep beep..." As long as the mechanical busy voice penetrated into my ears.

Nothing else.

Li Jingyan was silent.

As for Mu Shihuan, after putting away her phone, she didn't speak again until Jiang Wen sent her back to Shi's house.

The car is parked, but the lock is still on.

Jiang Wen held the steering wheel with both hands, moved his eyes from the front to Mu Shihuan's face, and finally just said: "Rest early, don't think too much."

Mu Shihuan looked at him.

For a moment, she didn't know what to say.

Jiang Wen smiled: "Go back."

The car lock is unlocked.

Mu Shihuan nodded slowly.

"it is good."

She opened the door and was about to get out of the car.

"Shi Huan." Jiang Wen called her to stop.

Mu Shihuan turned his head.

"Good night."

"Good night."

Mu Shihuan got out of the car.

Jiang Wen waved at her, motioning to see her go in before leaving.

Mu Shihuan turned around.

Vaguely, she heard the sound of the car leaving, and then the sound became smaller and smaller until she could no longer hear it.

She went back to the room.

Xiaochen is not here, she has enough time for herself tonight.

Accompany grandma to pray to Buddha, and then practice yoga, take a bath, skin care...

It was very late when I finally got back to bed, almost early morning.

Mu Shihuan slowly closed his eyes.

That night, she had many dreams.

……

At noon the next day, Shi Zongping came back with the minister.

As soon as he saw Mu Shihuan, Xiao Chen threw himself into her arms happily: "Mom, I miss you so much."

With a smile on the corner of Mu Shihuan's mouth, he couldn't help kissing him.

"Mom misses me too."

The mother and son talked for a while, and when dinner was served at Shi's family, the group went to the restaurant to chat while eating.

Xiaochen was obviously much more lively than when he first came. With Shi Zongping's encouragement, he told interesting stories about the trip. Everyone listened carefully, and they couldn't stop laughing when they heard the interesting things.

After a rest after dinner, Mu Shihuan took him upstairs for an afternoon nap.

Finding that Xiao Chen ran to the sofa to find his mobile phone as soon as he entered the bedroom, she thought of Li Jingyan's phone call last night, and reminded Xiao Chen to make a video call with him.

The minister was delighted, and seemed to be nodding vigorously.

It's just that he waited for a long time with full expectation, but no one answered the WeChat video, and finally ended automatically.

He was a little lost.

Missing Li Jingyan in his heart, he wanted to call him, but thinking of his father's hard work, Xiaochen finally held back, thinking that it would not be too late to make a video at night.

So he put down his phone and lay down obediently to rest in the afternoon.

Mu Shihuan did not and would not take the initiative to mention Li Jingyan, but only coaxed the minister to sleep.

When he fell asleep, she wanted to rest for a while, but Li Yan sent a WeChat message saying that she had returned to China, and asked her if she could remember what day tomorrow was.

tomorrow……

Mo Shihuan didn't realize it for a while, subconsciously wanted to look at the calendar, and his mind was agitated, remembering that tomorrow is Yanyan's birthday.

as predicted.

Li Yan said it was her birthday, and asked her if she would like to come back to Jiangcheng to celebrate her birthday with her.

Mu Shihuan didn't hesitate, let alone refuse.

To her, Li Yan is always her most important person, not to mention that Li Yan has always come to Pingcheng to accompany her in the past two years.

She can't be so selfish, even if subconsciously she rejects the city of Jiangcheng.

She complied, began to check the ticket situation, and finally booked for tomorrow afternoon.

In the afternoon, Mu Shihuan talked to his family about going to Jiangcheng, and no one objected, only Shi Tingzhou said that there happened to be a project in Jiangcheng that the eldest brother had handed over to him, so he went to have a look and accompany her.

Thinking that they hadn't bought a gift for Li Yan yet, after dinner, the brother and sister took Xiaochen out to buy gifts.

Xiaochen was very happy about going back to Jiangcheng to see Li Yan, so excited that he didn't go to bed until late at night.

And the next day, Xiao Chen was even more excited.

Because, Li Jingyan is back.
