Chapter 483: Hard-on
Wen Lan was startled at first, and then she tried to smooth things over for Xie Yansheng, "Don't think too much, Shengyan now has a cooperative relationship with the law firm where He Zheng works."
"Does a cooperative relationship mean you can sit in the passenger seat of Xie Yansheng?" Zhou Qiao on the other end obviously didn't buy it, "The woman surnamed He is from a grassroots background. In the past two years, she has been thriving in the legal circle in Beijing by relying on nepotism. I dealt with her once, and I felt that she was quite ambitious and resourceful. If she gets too close to Xie Yansheng, you should be careful."
"Thank you for the reminder." Wen Lan tried to suppress her inner collapse and pretended to be calm.
Zhou Qiao had no intention of ending the call. "We agreed to have dinner together tonight. Why did you stand me up?"
"I've been taking care of Nuannuan these two days. My schedule has been disrupted. I really don't have the energy to go out for dinner. I'll treat you next Saturday." Wen Lan said and remembered something. "We just moved back to Shuyuan Mansion. Nuannuan is not used to it. I've been accompanying her. I'm going to go back to work at TT next week."
"You've moved back to Shuyuan Mansion, but you're not going to tell me the truth?" Zhou Qiao scolded, "Don't hide it from me anymore. There must be something wrong between you and Xie Yansheng!"
"No." She was still calm. "Trust me, there really isn't."
"If you don't tell me, just bear it yourself!" Zhou Qiao hung up the phone angrily.
The busy tone came from the phone, and Wen Lan's nerves were relieved, but the phone slipped from her palm to the floor.
Her mind was in a mess. She couldn't figure it out. Only two names jumped in her heart.
Xie Yansheng, He Zheng——
Wen Lan didn't go out this week. She took Chinese medicine on time and spent most of the day lying in bed.
Just as the female doctor said, she was completely clean after a week.
After Xue Qi left, there was only one nanny, Sister Yun, at home to take care of Nuan Nuan.
In order to reduce the number of times Sister Yun went out to buy things and spend more time with Nuan Nuan, Wen Lan ordered daily necessities and ingredients on her mobile phone every day and cooked three meals a day in person.
Sister Yun was an experienced person and had long seen that the Chinese medicine Wen Lan took was for postpartum conditioning. She could no longer bear to let Nuan Nuan disturb Wen Lan and began to carry Nuan Nuan to play in the community.
After going out for four or five days in a row, Nuan Nuan's heart became wild. She would ask to go downstairs after staying in the room for a while.
Sister Yun said that there was a children's play area in the southeast corner of the community, with slides, swings, various rocking chairs, and many children.
Every time Nuan Nuan went there, she would excitedly stare at the little boys and girls older than her and babbled.
At first, Wen Lan would call to ask about the situation less than half an hour after Sister Yun took Nuan Nuan out. Later, she gradually felt relieved when she saw that Nuan Nuan was very happy every time she came back and laughed more than before.
Children are born to like lively places. Nuan Nuan was raised by Jiang Jingci in Qiushuitai when she was born. Later, she and Xie Yansheng took her to Beijing. She only played with Xiaotong and Duan Qianxun and had no contact with her peers.
Now she can play happily with other children in the community, and Wen Lan is quite relieved.
This week, she and Xie Yansheng have no contact.
Although they are in each other's address book, she also knows that Xie Yansheng is in Jiangcheng, but the two ignore each other and secretly fight a cold war.
She knows that Xie Yansheng is still brooding over Jiang Jingci's confinement meals, and she knows that she is jealous of Xie Yansheng and He Zheng getting too close!
On Monday when she went to work at TT, Wen Lan deliberately wore a dark red suit.
Xie Yansheng's alienation made her no longer have any thoughts about love and marriage, and she only hoped that her work and life would be prosperous from now on.
It was enough to make more money and take good care of Nuannuan.
Zhou Qiao attached great importance to her return, and specially ordered a bouquet of flowers for her, held a small and grand welcome ceremony, and vacated her original office on the first floor for her.
After a busy morning, Wen Lan gradually found the sense of urgency she had in the past when she went to work.
Nuannuan was taken care of by the nanny, and Wen Lan was not very relieved, so she drove back to Shuyuan Mansion during lunch break.
Opening the door, Wen Lan saw Sister Yun holding Nuannuan in one hand and cooking noodles in the other.
Sister Yun was the nanny Xie Yansheng found specifically for Nuannuan. She was in her forties, short and fat, and not good-looking, but she was a good hand at taking care of children.
She hurriedly took Nuannuan over, and Nuannuan's little head was pressed against Wen Lan's shoulder, giggling and shouting "Mom".
"Does Nuannuan miss her mother?" Wen Lan interacted with her daughter lovingly.
No matter how tired she was from work or how upset she was, as long as she saw Nuannuan, Wen Lan would feel relaxed.
"Miss Wen, Nuannuan has been playing for the whole morning and has just had milk. It's time to go to bed at this time." Sister Yun reminded Wen Lan while picking up noodles.
"I'll coax Nuannuan to sleep. Sister Yun, you eat first." Wen Lan took Nuannuan back to the bedroom and glanced at Sister Yun's lunch. There was only a bowl of tomato and egg noodles and two scallion pancakes left over from their morning meal.
"Sister Yun, taking care of a child is very energy-consuming. There are so many ingredients in the refrigerator. Wait until Nuannuan goes to sleep and make whatever you want to eat. You won't get enough nutrition if you only drink noodles in the middle of the day." Wen Lan's voice just fell, and the doorbell rang.
Before she could react, Sister Yun had put down her bowl and chopsticks to open the door, "Miss Wen's kindness, I think it's okay to be full, there's no need to be so particular."
When Sister Yun turned the door, Wen Lan realized that she hadn't looked through the peephole to see who was knocking on the door outside before deciding whether to open the door.
"Mr. Xie is here." Sister Yun's voice with a smile reached Wen Lan's ears.
Wen Lan was stunned. At this time, Nuan Nuan was waving her little hands and pulling Wen Lan's long hair, murmuring "Mom".
"It's already this late, haven't you had lunch yet?" Xie Yansheng's eyes fell on Wen Lan before he entered the room.
Wen Lan only glanced at him with the corner of her eyes and didn't respond.
"Nuannuan had a lot of fun, so I didn't rush to cook until now." Sister Yun hurriedly took the two big paper bags from Xie Yansheng's hand, and reached out to Wen Lan to hug Nuannuan, "Miss Wen, you chat with Mr. Xie for a while, I'll take care of Nuannuan."
"You go eat, Mr. Xie and I have nothing to talk about." Wen Lan avoided him with a stern face, and when Xie Yansheng approached, she didn't even lift her eyelids.
Xie Yansheng frowned at being confronted, and quickly put away all his unhappiness, snatched Nuannuan from Wen Lan's arms and said with a smile, "My dear daughter, I haven't seen Dad for a few days, do you miss Dad?"
Nuannuan looked disgusted, pouted her little mouth and looked at Wen Lan aggrievedly.
"Don't scare Nuannuan." For Nuannuan, Wen Lan took the initiative to say the first sentence to Xie Yansheng after meeting.
"If you don't want to be laughed at by Sister Yun, come with me." Xie Yansheng lowered his voice and walked into the master bedroom with Nuannuan in his arms.
Wen Lan followed quickly.
Xie Yansheng put Nuannuan on the bed and took out some toys from the storage box and put them within Nuannuan's reach.
Nuannuan immediately entered the game mode and stopped making noise.
"I still have to go to work, so let's talk quickly." Wen Lan deliberately picked up his phone and checked the time on it.
