Chapter 219: Changed into a different person
A wry smile crossed the corner of Shen Yunyan's mouth.
Mrs. Gu had a good idea, but now she was asked to conjure a child out of thin air?
Ning Xi, who had no idea about this, finally had a good sleep on the plane.
Despite this, James who came to pick him up still looked surprised.
"Xiao Xi! Why are you so thin?"
Ning Xi couldn't laugh or cry and held James' hand: "It's okay. I thought I'd take care of it quickly and come back to watch mom's show."
Wen Mochen, who has been busy taking wedding photos these days, is also very busy, but he is in high spirits during happy events. Compared to Ning Xi, who looks a little haggard, he is radiant.
"Xiao Xi, thank you for your hard work this time." Wen Mochen looked at the bags under Ning Xi's eyes with distress.
"It's nothing, these are all things I should do for you."
As she spoke, Ning Xi took out the USB flash drive with the compiled and copied files and handed it to Wen Mochen.
Wen Mochen was not in a hurry to ask about the specific situation. Instead, he pulled Ning Xi's concerned face and forced her to sit down and rest first.
Ning Xi had no choice but to comply, but her uncle's concern made her feel warm in her heart.
Thinking about Wen Qingqing's frequent text messages of care and concern these days, and even her grandmother following her WeChat Moments, the feeling of being at home made her feel sweet.
"Xiao Xi, I am not in a hurry about things in H City, but you have always made me worry."
Wen Mochen paused meaningfully, his eyes implicitly stopping at Ning Xi's belly.
"I know, but I still worry my uncle." A look of guilt appeared on Ning Xi's face.
Wen Mochen shook his head: "I can understand your mood, but some things are better disclosed as soon as possible."
Ning Xi bit her lip gently and frowned: "Uncle, Gu Huaijing and I have divorced, and I don't want to involve him anymore because of this matter."
Wen Mochen sighed and said in a solemn and gentle tone: "Xiao Xi, no matter what decision you make, my uncle will support you."
"Thank you, uncle." Ning Xi's nose felt a little sour and her eyes were slightly red.
……
Gu Huaijing is equally busy as Ning Xi. His schedule is almost continuous day and night. The high-intensity work makes the staff around him complain endlessly, and it also puts a lot of stress on Shen Yunyan, who is dedicated to being a good housekeeper.
Although Shen Yunyan stayed with him every day, except for work, the other party didn't even say a superfluous word.
Fortunately, there was a play on the weekend that she had wanted to watch for a long time. After Shen Yunyan dressed up, she went directly to the scene.
The theater was very busy on weekends, and Ning Xi came to the dressing room backstage early with a bouquet.
Wen Qingqing was putting on makeup and caught a glimpse of Ning Xi's figure in the mirror. She stood up overjoyed and said, "Xiao Xi, come here quickly!"
"Mom, I wish you a successful performance!" Ning Xi said, walking over and hugging Wen Qingqing happily.
"Success is secondary to everything. As long as you can accompany my mother, it will be the greatest happiness in my life!"
Wen Qingqing took the bouquet from Ning Xi's hand and added: "It would be better if you could bring a boyfriend to see your mother as soon as possible."
"Mom!" Ning Xi's face turned slightly red and she twisted her waist coquettishly: "I want to put my career first."
As Ning Xi spoke, she noticed that Wen Qingqing's expression had subtly changed within a few seconds.
She hurriedly turned around and looked over. There was someone standing at the door of the dressing room——
It was the gentle and elegant Ning Zhiyuan.
"What are you doing here?" Wen Qingqing took a step forward, pulled Ning Xi behind him, stared at Ning Zhiyuan, and spoke in a bad tone.
"Don't get me wrong, I just want to see you and our daughter."
Ning Zhiyuan said, taking a step back with a sincere expression.
Wen Qingqing's expression was complicated. After a moment of pause, he still said coldly: "You are not welcome here, please leave."
"Mom, don't be angry. I'll see you off, Professor Ning." Ning Xi hurriedly came out to smooth things over. The moment their eyes met, she could clearly see the guilt and helplessness in Ning Zhiyuan's eyes.
Although she didn't know what forced Ning Zhiyuan to do, Ning Xi still didn't want to believe those unfavorable words about Ning Zhiyuan.
The father and daughter came to the corridor one after another. Ning Xi motioned for Ning Zhiyuan to follow her. The two went to the small cafe in the theater and found an inconspicuous place to sit down.
But it was no coincidence that Shen Yunyan was also waiting here.
When she saw Ning Xi and Ning Zhiyuan both appearing, the surprise in her eyes could not be concealed.
Shen Yunyan took out her mobile phone and inadvertently pointed its camera at the two of them...
The two looked like they were hugging each other from this angle.
"Xiao Xi, I'm sorry. In the final analysis, it was my lack of consideration that hurt Qingqing and hurt you."
Ning Zhiyuan felt guilty, but also felt a little relieved as he patted Ning Xi's thin shoulder.
Feeling the long-lost family affection, Ning Xi's mood was indescribably complicated, with a hint of sadness hidden in the sweetness.
Suddenly, she looked up.
Gu Huaijing and Shen Yunyan walked over like a pair of golden boys and girls.
Why are they here?
Shen Yunyan held Gu Huaijing's arm affectionately and smiled sweetly: "Miss Ning, I didn't expect that such a coincidence would always meet such an occasion."
Ning Zhiyuan didn't know why and looked at them in surprise. He saw Gu Huaijing's face was cold and he nodded towards him.
"Mr. Ning, long time no see."
After saying hello, Gu Huaijing strode out of the coffee shop without even looking at Ning Xi.
Shen Yunyan, who was a few steps behind, smiled slightly and said to the two of them: "By the way, Miss Ning. Huaijing and I's wedding will be held soon. I'm the first to inform you. Don't forget to come."
After that, she turned and left with a hint of victory's joy.
Ning Xi frowned slightly. She always felt that Gu Huaijing's changes during this period were really strange. It was like he was a different person, or was he missing his memory?
