C4 The Meal be Not Necessarily a Meal

Because of the pregnancy, Grandma just stayed. I didn't want to say it, but it wasn't easy to say it. Besides, our relationship was still stiff.

I have often heard people saying that the conflict between husband and wife is a romantic one, but I felt that something was wrong with Lu Tao this time. This is a woman's sixth sense, without any basis, it's just intuition.

I didn't think about anything else. After all, our relationship had shown signs of softening, and that was a good thing.

When we were eating, I tentatively said, "Mom is very tired, and I'm fine as well."

At that time, Lu Tao's face was longer than a donkey, and I knew what he was thinking. He felt that the countryside was bitter, and his mother-in-law was alone as she aged.

I can understand that, filial piety is a good thing, but you have to buy another house, and you can always live together like this, can there be no contradiction?

I've always heard people say that between a wife and her wife is ice and fire. Either it melts or it goes out.

"It's not hard work, I'm used to working, but I'm not used to staying at home. At such a young age, you should stay here and take care of it. When the child is born, mother will bring it to you, it's fine."

Nanny's face was full of joy. She kept stuffing dishes into Lu Tao's bowl. When I saw Nanny's chopsticks reaching towards me, I quickly picked up my bowl and started eating.

I'm really not used to this. There are hands and feet, and I'm almost 30 years old.

After dinner, Lu Tao drove me to work. I wanted to talk to him about whether Grandma could go home first, and if she wanted to come, then wait until the child is born before coming back. Looking at Lu Tao's gloomy face, Lu Tao swallowed his words as they reached his mouth.

He should talk about these things slowly.

When I arrived at the company, I was told that the director was looking for me.

I couldn't help but frown. This Director Xu, I'm actually pretty good, but I'm really annoyed with him.

There are some stories in which when I first came to the company, I was young and didn't understand anything. Director Xu took special care of me and arranged good departments to think of me.

Afterwards, I kept my eyes open and something didn't seem right. This old man intentionally or unintentionally started hinting to me that at the start it was very obscure. But gradually, something started to go wrong.

I'm not stupid. This kind of person wants to play with the Qian rules and doesn't take a piss.

I looked inside and saw that the door to the office was open. I grabbed the folder for my work from the shelf and walked over. I saw Director Xu sitting there, probably waiting for me.

I knocked on the door politely.

"Come in."

"Director, you were looking for me."

Director Xu adjusted his glasses, and looked up and down, "Young man, last time, you did well. The manager was very satisfied, the most important thing was Director Qian, he mentioned you several times in front of me, we made an appointment to go out for a meal tonight."

"I still have things to do at home, so I won't be going tonight."

"That won't do. Director Qian wants a beauty like you to participate. If you don't, Director Qian will definitely be unhappy." Director Xu immediately showed a bad face when he heard me say that.

That money was always a big customer of the company. Last time when Director Xu brought him there, that man's eyeballs almost fell out of their sockets when he looked at him. A person like that obviously wasn't a good person.

"Director, I really can't. My family has matters to attend to."

"You've been in the company for two years now, you're considered a young man. Even if you don't think for the company, you have to think for yourself. I know your abilities the best."

Director Xu was too stubborn and had no other choice. When he thought about how he had to face the cold Lu Tao and how he had to show his love in front of his mother-in-law, he felt very annoyed.

"Alright, I'll go tonight, but I've said in advance that we can't drink alcohol, not even a mouthful."

"Sure, as long as you can go, anything is fine."

Director Xu was full of joy as he greeted me. I came out of the office and could vaguely see a few ladies huddled together talking about something. When I came out of the office, those people were obviously sneakily looking at me.

I just wanted to live a bit more truthfully. I never thought that the way I live the real life would make me more tired.

Dinner was also part of the job. For a typical social gathering, going to that kind of place was basically not for eating. Women had a lot of reasons for dressing up, such as watching others enjoy themselves and attracting others' attention.

Thinking about it, I just let it go. Director Xu was waiting for me down there, maybe because he was too anxious, so he kept calling. I looked down from the window and saw Director Xu leaning on the car door, holding the phone as he looked up.

I got my bag and got off the elevator.

The company wasn't far from where I lived. Since I didn't have a car today, I got into Director Xu's car. His car wasn't bad, so it was very comfortable to sit in.

As I leaned there, I suddenly felt a tiredness that came from the depths of my heart and was not entirely physical.

When other women get pregnant, they must be treated like treasures, with all kinds of favors, but what about me? I thought that Lu Tao would change after a month, but I didn't find anything.

Moreover, this time when I came back, I had a vague feeling that Lu Tao didn't go home during the time I was gone.

It was not a wild guess, but a feeling!

Women were creatures that relied on their senses. Back then, they thought that Lu Tao was reliable, so they married him without any hesitation.

Where did Lu Tao go during this time?

I pressed down on my swollen head. I really couldn't think of anything. Lu Tao didn't have any relatives here, nor did he have those kind of good friends.

I believe Lu Tao will not go to another woman behind my back. This is the trust I have in him, and also the bottom line I have for him. If the bottom line between husband and wife is gone, there's no need to continue.

So at any time, don't touch it so easily, I know that.

"Are you not feeling well at your age?"

When I got out of the car, Director Qian was already waiting in the chartered room. When I saw his listless look, I immediately came over. I smiled. "My head is hurting a little."

"Come, sit, sit. Secretary Wang is going to the pharmacy to buy some medicine. The more expensive the medicine, the better." Qian Chao sat there with almost all his hair hanging off his head. In fact, a man didn't need to be afraid of anything as long as he had money.

"No need, really no need." I quickly declined.

"What are you waiting for, hurry up."

After Director Qian finished speaking, the secretary hurried out. I don't remember what he said during this meal, but my heart was in a mess. Because I was feeling unwell, Director Qian didn't try to persuade me to drink.

From time to time, he would come over and pretend to ask me how I was. His eyes would always glance at my chest, and I really couldn't understand why all the men were so perverted. If Lu Tao became rich in the future, would he become like this!

After dinner, Director Xu suggested that they go out to play. They should be going to bars or KTV, so they didn't dislike these places. Some formal bars had a good atmosphere, but those bars that only wanted to make money ruined their reputation.

I covered my head and was about to head back when Director Qian looked at me. This man was quite magnanimous, and upon seeing me so tired, he got his secretary to drive me back. When he got out of the car, he insisted that I carry the medicine he bought.

I had no choice but to carry it and open the door. Grandma sat there waiting for me with an unhappy expression on her face.

"Mom, why aren't you asleep yet?"

"I'm waiting for you. You're two people now, why are you so late?"

"The company is busy right now. It's a bit late, it's fine."

"What do you mean okay? It's too late to regret what happened. Lu Tao is the same. I don't know what to do, so stop washing. Hurry up and go back to your room and sleep."

I agreed. I originally wanted to take a hot bath before going to sleep, but my body felt a little uncomfortable. Seeing my mother-in-law blocking the bathroom door and staring at me, I had no choice but to take off my jacket and head inside.

"Nian Hua, did you buy this medicine?"

I heard my mother-in-law's cry behind me and remembered that I had placed the boxes of pills that Secretary Wang had bought for me on the table by the door.

"Yes."

I can only say that I don't want my mother-in-law to know about my dinner tonight. She has always lived in the country, and sometimes she doesn't understand.

"When you're pregnant, you can't eat this. Where's the place where you feel uncomfortable? If you are, then it's over."

"Got it."

I hastily walked a few steps to open the door and entered. Behind me, Grandma's endless nagging could be heard. It was nothing more than young people not knowing anything. I already had a terrible headache.
