Chapter 724: I Forgot My Business While Shopping
Ever since Xiaomai sent Xi Yan to the hospital and left, the two sisters haven't seen each other since. During this period, they talked on the phone twice. He Lingting also learned about Xu Chen's general condition through Bai Chen. Knowing that he was fine, everyone was relieved.
Xiaomai was officially out of confinement two days after she returned. She felt that things suddenly became more and more complicated. She had to arrange a full-month banquet for her baby daughter, and make preparations to go to Lin City because Youyou was about to give birth. There were also some work matters. Suddenly, Xiaomai was extremely busy. He Lingting advised her with concern that he could find someone to arrange everything, but Xiaomai insisted on doing it herself. He Lingting had no choice but to accompany her unconditionally.
Everything was finally settled today, and Xiaomai also had some time. She wanted to go to the hospital to see Achen and Xiyan, but she didn't expect that they would be discharged tomorrow. Hearing that Xiyan had regained her former vitality, Xiaomai was really happy for her.
After hanging up the phone, Xiaomai went straight to the study to find He Lingting: "Husband, we have to go to the hospital tomorrow."
"Well! Achen is fine." He Lingting asked.
"How did you know? Did you sneak to see him?" Xiaomai asked slyly.
"I don't have the time for that. Chen said so." He Lingting replied.
"Oh! Why didn't you tell me? I was quite worried these two days. I just called Yanyan, and she said that Achen was in good spirits, the intravenous drip had been stopped, and he would be able to be discharged from the hospital and go home tomorrow." Xiaomai said.
"Well, this kid has a good physique, so this injury is no big deal." He Lingting said coldly.
"Then he can't drive. No matter how healthy he is, the injury on his foot will take a month or so to heal! Xi Yan can't drive, so let's send them home tomorrow!" Xiaomai said.
"No need! The crew doesn't care? Achen was injured there." He Lingting said coldly.
"That can definitely be managed, but I think Xi Yan would be more comfortable with us!" Xiaomai said after thinking for a while.
"Are you sure?" He Lingting asked when he thought about how his wife's best friend always looked a little reserved every time she saw him.
"Of course, that requires your cooperation. Tomorrow you only need to drive and don't talk too much." Xiaomai pulled the corner of the uncle's mouth and warned him, and then ran her little hand to the man's earlobe and kneaded it.
"Yeah." He Lingting grabbed Xiaomai's naughty little hand and kissed it, then responded in a hoarse voice, then quickly let go of the girl's hand and walked to the desk to work.
Xiaomai felt that the uncle was a little weird today. He was gentle and considerate one second, and cold as ice the next. However, he didn't care. Anyway, he had finished talking about his business, so he didn't disturb him from work. He decided to go and see if his baby daughter was awake.
So Xiaomai said hello to He Lingting and turned to leave. He Lingting finally breathed a sigh of relief. He almost lost control just now. When the little girl's soft little hand climbed onto his earlobe, his body's desires poured out like a tide. But how could He Lingting, who was so strong, ignore Xiaomai's body? The girl had just come out of confinement, so he should let her rest for a while! Then he could only wrong his "little brother".
Although he was sitting at his desk with a document in his hand, he didn't read a single word. He hoped that the girl would leave quickly so that he could calm down.
Xiaomai had just gone out for a while and suddenly opened the door and came back, "By the way, honey, there is one more thing."
"Speak!" He Lingting's eyes were buried in the documents, and he replied directly without even raising his head.
"Then let's go to my uncle's house. We can't go there empty-handed!" Xiaomai said as she walked to the desk.
"Okay, I'll ask Asan to deliver it later." He Lingting said.
"How can that be possible? It's so disrespectful to others. How about I go out and pick out some gifts myself?" Xiaomai said mischievously.
"Want to go shopping? I'll go with you." He Lingting said as he was about to stand up.
"No, no, no, I have a meeting with my friends! You should stay at home and work hard to make money!" Xiaomai hurriedly stopped him.
"Who? Male or female?" He Lingting asked seriously.
"I don't have any boyfriends either! They are Xue'er and Wang Yu." Xiaomai looked at the petty nature of the uncle and decided to tell him, otherwise she would easily not be able to go out this afternoon.
"Well, come back early!" He Lingting instructed.
"Okay, I'll go then." Xiaomai ran out excitedly, but stopped after a few steps. "Well, honey, what do uncle and aunt like?"
"I don't know either. Gifts are a token of your thought. Just pick the one you think is suitable." He Lingting put down the documents in his hand and said to Xiaomai.
"Okay, I understand. You just go about your business!" Xiaomai said and left the study.
Xiaomai received a call just after she came out of the study. It was Xueer. She calculated that Xiaomai should have finished her confinement, so she wanted to ask Xiaomai to go out for some fresh air. Shopping alone didn't seem lively enough, so she asked Wang Yu to come along as well.
Xiaomai was of course very excited after hearing this. It didn't matter whether she bought anything or not, the most important thing was that she could go out and have fun. However, she was afraid that the uncle would worry about this and that, so she successfully won him over by using the excuse of buying a gift for him.
Time was tight and the task was heavy. It was already afternoon. Xiaomai trotted back to the room, quickly packed herself up, then went to see Jiujiu who was sleeping soundly. After explaining something to the nanny, she set off.
He Lingting sat in the study room and felt as if he had fallen out of favor. This girl no longer depended on him as soon as she came out of confinement. He now felt that he was under double pressure both physically and mentally, and work was the only way to relieve his anxiety!
After Xiaomai and the other two got together, they went shopping in the mall. Xiaomai wished she could make up for the past month's freedom. If she hadn't been concerned about Xueer's health, she would have really wanted to shop until the mall closed.
Of course, the three women also returned with a lot of things. Xiaomai bought a lot of things, for her sons, daughters, husbands, and even Aunt Li, but nothing for herself. Finally, the three of them had a delicious hot pot meal, and Xiaomai went home satisfied...
After dinner, He Lingting watched the sky getting darker and darker. He could no longer sit still, so he drove to the shopping mall that Xiaomai often went to. After Xiaomai and her friends finished their meal and just walked out the door with their spoils, they were attracted by a tall and handsome figure on the side of the road.
Xiaomai trotted over, "Hey! Why are you here? You knew I didn't drive."
"Yeah!" He Lingting said as he took the spoils from Xiaomai and put them in the trunk.
Xiaomai turned around and looked at Wang Yu and Xue'er and said, "Let's go together! I'll take you back first."
"No, no, no, that's not necessary. You and grandpa go first! I drove here, and I'll take Xueer home later." Wang Yu waved his hand quickly.
"Okay then! Be careful!" said Xiaomai.
"Don't worry! Goodbye!" Xue'er and Wang Yu said.
Then Xiaomai and He Lingting drove home. On the way, He Lingting asked in a sultry way, "What did you buy?"
"That's a lot older. There's the military puzzle that Tuantuan wanted, the airplane model that Yuanyuan liked, Jiujiu's toys, and clothes and shoes for the three children. By the way, I also bought you a set of clothes..." Xiaomai said while counting on her fingers. At the end, He Lingting didn't hear about the gifts bought for his uncle and others.
So he asked again: "Where is the gift?"
Xiaomai slapped her forehead and said, "Oh! I forgot. Let's go back. I have such a stupid brain. I was too happy. How could I forget such an important thing? I need it tomorrow."
"It's too late to go back now. The mall is closed." He Lingting poured cold water on him.
"Ah! What should I do? It will be too late to come tomorrow!" Xiaomai said anxiously.
"It's okay. I asked Ah San to prepare one."
After hearing this, Xiaomai kissed He Lingting excitedly and said happily: "Hubby, you are so awesome, it's great to have you!"
"Is that all?" He Lingting said unsatisfiedly.
"So what else do you want?" Xiaomai asked.
"Go home and tell you..."
