C206 Self-sealing
From this day onwards, Qiao Lijin seemed to have lost interest in everything. He liked to sit on the balcony and look into the distance. His eyes were confused and melancholy, as if he had lost himself.
He did not care about the company matters, nor did he interact with the people around him. The company's matters were left to Zhou Yihui and Gao Wen Chuan to manage, but the change in shares had caused the company to be in chaos.
Wangqiao also did not dare to leave, afraid that he would not be able to resolve the knot in his heart and do something foolish again. Every day, looking at his painful appearance, she really wanted to tell her the truth.
But she was afraid that if she told him, the child in her womb would not be able to be saved. If the curse really existed, then she only had a few months left to live.
It would be a lie to say that she wanted to die. She wanted to live. She wanted to watch the child grow up and grow old with the man she loved. However, there were some things that she couldn't help herself with. All she could do was protect the child in her womb.
Wangqiao stared at his back for a long time. Finally, she could not help but walk over and sit opposite him. She filled his line of sight. In the beginning, his eyes were empty, but Wangqiao used those worried eyes to stare at him.
After a long, long time, Qiao Lijin only reached out and touched her face. But he still didn't say anything. It was as if her soul had already escaped her body, leaving only her body.
"Qiao Lijin." Wangqiao held his big hand and shook it gently. " What are you thinking about every day while sitting like this? Can you tell me? Doesn't your butt hurt? Won't your waist ache? Let me tell you, if you sit for too long, you will get hemorrhoids..."
If Wangqiao had said these things in the past, Qiao Lijin would definitely have laughed. But now, he had no reaction at all. Wangqiao was really afraid, "Qiao Lijin, can you say something?"
At this moment, her phone rang. She took it out and saw that it was from home. She got up to answer the phone. " Yes, I'll go today. A little later."
After hanging up the phone, Wangqiao looked at Qiao Lijin who was still sitting there blankly. She said to Zhou Yihui and Gao Wen Chuan who were in the living room, "You guys take good care of him. I will go home first."
"Qiao, what... what should we do with him?" Zhou Yihui looked worried. It seemed that once Wangqiao left, the situation would become even worse. Wangqiao sighed, "I will come back tomorrow. Don't worry. I won't use any tricks. It will cheer him up. I don't believe that he can keep being so tense. "
Wangqiao went out and saw Carlos waiting at the door. He helped her open the car door. "How is he?"
"He's still like that." Wangqiao got into the car with a tired look on her face. Carlos sat in the driver's seat and helped Wangqiao fasten her seatbelt. "You look very tired. You need to rest well."
"I'm fine. Thank you, Carlos. Let's go home. "
It was lunch time when they got home, and it was a day of rest. The whole family was there. Duolin could not help but ask, "Sister, how is he? Is he still making a fuss about becoming a monk?"
"Not really. It's just like losing his soul. Mu Dazed didn't say anything." Wangqiao looked depressed, but Lo Yunfei said, "Don't worry. He needs a healing process. After this period of time, he will get better. You are pregnant now. Don't worry too much. "
" Okay. I'll be careful."
Wangqiao went upstairs after she had eaten her fill. Just as she was about to enter the house, Lo Yunfei called her to the study room and said with a serious face, "Wangqiao, although you and Carlos did not have a wedding, they are already husband and wife."
"Huh?" Wangqiao looked confused, but Lo Yunfei continued to say, "You live at Qiao Lijin's place all day. What does Carlos think? In the future, you have to pay more attention. "
In order to make her father believe that the child belonged to Carlos, she listened to her father and got the marriage certificate. However, she and Carlos spent a hundred yuan to get someone to fake the marriage certificate.
However, her father did not know. Wangqiao was very embarrassed, but she could not say it out loud. She could only say, " Oh, I know, Father. I will be careful. "
" Alright. Go and rest."
"What?"
Wangqiao returned to her own room. After washing up, she laid down to rest. However, her mind was filled with Qiao Lijin's despondent look. She was really worried.
He could not help but call Zhou Yihui and ask about Qiao Lijin's situation. "How is he now? Did he have lunch?"
"He just had lunch. He went back to his room to rest now."
"Oh, that's good." Wangqiao heaved a sigh of relief.
At night, Duolin and Lo Zizhuo went out to play. Wangqiao had dinner with her father and Carlos. After dinner, Carlos accompanied Wangqiao for a walk in the courtyard.
He did not speak much and answered when Wangqiao asked him questions. When she was deep in thought, she quietly followed. It was like Wangqiao's shadow.
The air outside was getting colder. Carlos put his coat on Wangqiao and said, "Cold. Go back. Don't catch a cold."
" Alright. "
Carlos sent Wangqiao back to her room, and Lo Yunfei just came out of the billiard room on the first floor.
"It's late. I'll be leaving first. Good night." Carlos wanted to leave, but Lo Yunfei said, "You and Wangqiao are already husband and wife, so there's no need to be so polite. Let's stay today. "
"What?" Wangqiao's lower jaw was about to fall to the ground. Lo Yunfei narrowed his eyes and asked doubtfully, : " What, you husband and wife still need to sleep in separate rooms? "
Wangqiao was afraid that her father was deliberately probing and did not dare to say anything more. Carlos said, "Dad, Wangqiao has no relationship with me after all. I will wait until the day she accepts me. Furthermore, she is pregnant now and needs a good rest. I suddenly live in her room. She will not be used to it. "
"I've thought about it. Wangqiao has already married you and should live with you. If you are not willing to live here, you can let Wangqiao move in with you."
Wangqiao became anxious. If she moved in with Carlos, in anyone's eyes, they were a real husband and wife. Especially Qiao Lijin. Yes, she did not want Qiao Lijin to be sad anymore. She quickly put her arms around Carlos's waist and said, "Then we will listen to father. You are the father of the child. You are also my husband. There is nothing that I am not used to. "
Just like that, Carlos went to Wangqiao's room. Although Carlos was Wangqiao's bodyguard previously and the two of them were inseparable, they were still very uncomfortable at this moment.
After all, Carlos was a person with a strong mentality. He pointed to the sofa naturally and said, "I'll sleep here."
"The sofa is too small. Why don't you sleep on the bed? I'll sleep on the sofa." Wangqiao was grateful to Carlos in her heart. If it was not for him covering for her, she would not have been able to protect the child. Carlos was her friend, partner, and comrade.
"It's alright. I'm more used to sleeping on the sofa."
While the two were studying, there was a knock on the door. Wangqiao was shocked, afraid that her words would be heard. She hurriedly went to open the door and saw a maid.
"Miss, this is what Mr. Lo asked me to prepare for Carlos."
Wangqiao saw that it was pajamas. Her father was really thoughtful.
