"Why don't we go back to Nancheng?" Fu Qianchen asked.
Cheng Nuo was stunned. She knew there was no need for her to stay here anymore. If something happened to her next time, would she need Qiao Yumeng to rush over from Nancheng overnight?
"I still have a few empty houses under my name. There is a house in the suburbs. Although it is not as convenient as the city, the air and environment is very good. It is suitable for raising a child."
"You even told him about my pregnancy?" Cheng Nuo looked at Qiao Yumeng in surprise.
She thought Qiao Yumeng would lose her mind when she saw Fu Qianchen. She did not expect them to come to her together. She did not expect them to tell Fu Qianchen about her pregnancy.
Qiao Yumeng said awkwardly, "He will find out sooner or later."
"Okay." Cheng Nuo nodded and hesitated for a moment before saying, "This time I lost completely. When I was preparing to buy a house, I really thought that I would settle here, so I quit my job..."
"What?" Qiao Yumeng's voice rose because of her surprise.
Cheng Nuo did not quit her job even though she made such a big mistake in the operation. It showed how much Cheng Nuo cared about her career. Now she quit her job?
Cheng Nuo was a little embarrassed as she turned her head away and said, "I thought I would never return to Nancheng for the rest of my life. It would be meaningless to keep my job..."
"Silly." Qiao Yumeng wanted to blame Cheng Nuo but also thought that when she left Nancheng five years ago, she was also this decisive.
"Then after I return to Nancheng, you will take care of me?" Cheng Nuo reached out her hand and held Qiao Yumeng's hand. Her eyes were timid, like an abandoned child.
"Okay." Qiao Yumeng reached out and gently held Cheng Nuo's hand.
She knew Cheng Nuo's character. She could not be idle. She had only gotten used to being alone since she was young. She really wanted the warmth of her family.
They chatted for a while and Cheng Nuo said that the granny who adopted her had also returned.
After staying in a big city for a long time, everyone would forget that there were too many bottom class people in this world. Just like this granny, she seemed to be close to 70 and even went out to sell vegetables.
When she came back, she even brought two steamed buns for Cheng Nuo. When she saw Qiao Yumeng and Fu Qianchen, she was stunned. It had been a long time since she saw such a bright and beautiful person. She said, "I didn't think that there would be guests at home. I didn't even bring any food for you guys."
"It's okay." Qiao Yumeng smiled gently at Granny.
If it wasn't for her, Cheng Nuo wouldn't even be able to find her feet.
Very quickly, a three or four-year-old boy jumped in from the door. His clothes were very old but they were very clean. He held an unknown wild flower in his hand.
When he saw Fu Qianchen and Qiao Yumeng, the smile on his face immediately turned into shyness.
"He is Grandma's grandson. He is only four years old."
Four years old, the same age as Qiao Yuxi.
But he looked stronger and darker than Qiao Yuxi.
Qiao Yumeng pulled him over and chatted with him for a while. The child said, "Is elder sister from a big city?"
"Yes."
When I grow up, I want to go to a big city too. " He smiled, and hope appeared in his eyes.
"Why go to a big city?" Qiao Yumeng felt that if she could, it would not be bad to return to such a small place. The big city looked prosperous, but its people were cold and full of scheming.
"My mom and dad are working there. When I grow up, I will go find them and live with them." After he finished speaking, he looked at Grandma, who was smiling at him. He reached out and held Grandma's hand. "Also, bring Grandma with you."
What a simple and beautiful wish.
When people were young, they were actually pure. It was just that no one knew when people started to change. They were divided into good people and bad people.
In the end, Qiao Yumeng still decided to bring Cheng Nuo back to Nancheng. When she left, Fu Qianchen left a business card for Grandma to look for him.
"By the way, my friend just came home and still needs to come back to live. I wonder how does Granny's rent count?" Qiao Yumeng asked.
Granny was stunned for a moment and hesitantly stuck out a thumb and said, "One hundred yuan for a month."
"Okay." Qiao Yumeng nodded and looked at Fu Qianchen. "I didn't bring the money. Can you help pay the rent?"
Fu Qianchen nodded. The corner of his mouth curled into a smile that he himself did not notice.
There was a thick stack of money, about three to four thousand. Qiao Yumeng and Fu Qianchen did not count and directly stuffed it into Grandma's hands.
Granny might not have seen so much money in a long time, but she subconsciously retracted her hand and asked, "How long will she be staying here?"
"Three years or four years." Qiao Yumeng smiled and said.
After they left, Cheng Nuo said on the way, "Yumeng, you learned to lie."
"If you don't lie, Grandma won't want it."
"That's true." Cheng Nuo nodded and looked at Fu Qianchen. "Thanks. I will return it to you when I have money."
"Qiao Yumeng borrowed it from me. She can return it to me." Fu Qianchen looked out of the window after he finished speaking.
The sunlight shone into the cabin through the window. It brought a golden warmth to Fu Qianchen.
Qiao Yumeng stared at him and was somewhat lost in thought. It was only when Cheng Nuo poked her waist with her elbow that she recovered her mind.
Cheng Nuo moved closer to Qiao Yumeng's ear and whispered, "Why do I feel that Fu Qianchen is strange?"
"Has he been normal?" After Qiao Yumeng finished speaking, she moved a little and changed her sitting position. Only then did she feel more natural.
"He used to be different. Fu Qianchen seems to be more human now," Qiao Yumeng said. Cheng Nuo made it clear with a single sentence.
When she said that, even Qiao Yumeng was stunned.
That's right, when did Fu Qianchen become so humane?
She remembered that when she had just returned to Nancheng, Fu Qianchen was no different from five years ago. He even looked like she should not have appeared at the engagement banquet between him and Qiao Yurou.
After getting off the plane, Qiao Yumeng had just turned on her phone when Lu Chen called and asked her why she did not reply to her message. He said that he was worried that something had happened to her.
"It's okay. My phone is out of battery. I'll charge it now." Qiao Yumeng lied without any technical skills.
"Okay, then we will have dinner together tonight?"
"Okay."
"It's almost time now. How about you come to the company and wait for me to get off work?" Wang Yao asked. Lu Chen asked.
"Sure."
After hanging up the phone, Qiao Yumeng subconsciously looked at Fu Qianchen.
When she picked up the phone, Fu Qianchen kept staring at her. When he saw her looking at him, he subconsciously turned his head away to avoid Qiao Yumeng's eyes.
Cheng Nuo stared at them for a while and finally suppressed what she wanted to say.
Now that Fu Qianchen had Qiao Yurou and Qiao Yumeng also had Lu Chen, the past of the two of them would slowly disappear along with time.1
"My assistant is already waiting at the airport. Together?" Fu Qianchen asked.
"Forget it. We should avoid suspicion." Qiao Yumeng said and looked at Cheng Nuo. "Do you want to go back with me or with Fu Qianchen?"
"Come with me. I will keep it a secret for you. I will not tell Tan Yue about your whereabouts." Fu Qianchen looked at Cheng Nuo. There was a trace of undetectable urgency in his tone.
