After a while, she crawled out of bed with a red face. Cheng Dongge had put away her clothes from last night, and Qi Chengyue had no clothes to wear. She had decided to stay here in a hurry last night, so she didn't even have a change of underwear.
She didn't know where the underwear she had taken off last night had gone. She had casually taken it off last night and probably thrown it on the floor. Now that she couldn't find it, Cheng Dongge must have cleaned it up.
When he had taken it off last night, she had been in a daze, so she didn't think much of it. But now that she was awake, she thought about Cheng Dongge holding her underwear and especially the underwear, and she was extremely embarrassed.
She couldn't find the underwear, so she could only open the closet and choose Cheng Dongge's white shirt to wear. The shirt was just enough to cover her bottom, but without the underwear, she still felt uncomfortable.
She went to the bathroom and found two cups and two toothbrushes on the sink. One of the cups and toothbrush looked brand new. Even if there was no message, Qi Chengyue knew it was left for her.
She blushed and couldn't help but smile shyly. Seeing the two cups and toothbrushes side by side, she felt very strange.
She took the toothbrush out of the cup. Cheng Dongge had already used half of the toothpaste. When she squeezed the toothpaste, she couldn't help but think about the way Cheng Dongge squeezed the toothpaste. The toothpaste was pressed against his toothbrush, and now it was touching her toothbrush. It felt very intimate.
She finished brushing her teeth. Because she didn't bring her own facial cleanser and skincare products, she could only make do with Cheng Dongge's men's facial cleanser and apply his men's moisturizing lotion.
After she was done, she looked around the bathroom, and her gaze instantly froze.
The underwear she couldn't find earlier was now hanging on the ceiling, and it had been washed.
Cheng Dongge didn't have a nanny or helper at home, so it was obvious who had washed her underwear.
Qi Chengyue felt like her brain was about to explode. Why did that man secretly wash her underwear for no reason?
She thought about her personal things, especially the underwear that he was holding and rubbing in his hands. Moreover, it was dirty after wearing it for a day, yet he didn't mind washing it.
Qi Chengyue hurriedly pulled down the wet clothes that had not been dried yet, found a hairdryer, and began to blow it.
When it was almost dry, he heard the sound of the door opening. Qi Chengyue turned off the hairdryer and tried the inner treasury. It was not completely dry, but it was barely wearable. It was just that wearing the damp inner treasury like this would inevitably hurt the body.
But thinking about it, she and Cheng Dongge had already done everything, so there was no need to be so particular about it. She just had to be careful not to show it later. She put the inner treasury back to dry and ran out of the bathroom to the door.
Just then, the door opened. Qi Chengyue smiled and said, "You're back! Why didn't you wake me up just now? Auntie … "
Qi Chengyue hadn't expected that it wouldn't be Cheng Dongge but his mother, Sun Shaoyun.
Her face paled.
Sun Shaoyun was still holding the key in her hand. She opened the door and stepped one foot into the door. Then, she froze at the door.
"You … Miss Qi, you …" Sun Shaoyun was so shocked that she stuttered. She looked Qi Chengyue up and down. She saw that Qi Chengyue was wearing a shirt that clearly belonged to Cheng Dongge. She didn't seem to be wearing anything underneath, so she could guess to what extent the two of them had progressed.
Qi Chengyue's pale face instantly turned red. "Auntie … Auntie, wait a moment."
She hurriedly ran back to the bathroom and put it on, not caring that the inner treasury was still wet. Bras weren't easy to dry, and she couldn't just wear the dress from last night. That would reveal the shape of her breasts, so she might as well wear it like this.
Qi Chengyue hurriedly ran out again. "Auntie, please … please come in and take a seat. I'll be ready soon."
She hurriedly returned to Cheng Dongge's bedroom and rummaged through the closet. She finally found a pair of sports shorts with thin straps. She put it on and tied the straps tightly, so much so that the waistband overlapped.
She went out and stood there awkwardly, not knowing what to say.
"Miss Qi, your clothes …" Even though Qi Chengyue was wearing clothes and pants, she was still wearing Cheng Dongge's, so it didn't seem like it.
"I was at the banquet last night, so my clothes aren't suitable for me to wear right now," Qi Chengyue said awkwardly.
"Oh." Sun Shaoyun wanted to say that her clothes weren't suitable for her to wear right now, but would it be suitable for her to wear Cheng Dongge's clothes?
"Miss Qi, how far have you progressed with Dongge? Are you seriously preparing to be with him? "Sun Shaoyun sat down and asked without even taking a sip of water.
"Auntie, you've just arrived. Shall I get you a glass of water, or would you like some tea?" Qi Chengyue asked. She felt that it was better to wait for Cheng Dongge to come back and sit down to discuss this matter.
"No need, I'll be leaving in a while. I originally wanted to visit my son today, but I didn't expect —" Sun Shaoyun didn't continue. Before she retired, she was the dean of a junior high school in Gravel City, so she was quite cultured. Even though she wasn't too satisfied with Qi Chengyue's identity and past, she didn't go overboard or speak too harshly.
"Don't bother yourself. Sit down. Where did Dongge go?" Sun Shaoyun asked.
Qi Chengyue sat down, but she didn't dare sit too close to Sun Shaoyun. She was very nervous the whole time. "He went down to buy breakfast."
Sun Shaoyun nodded. "Miss Qi, you haven't answered my question just now."
Qi Chengyue lowered her head, a little afraid to face Sun Shaoyun. At that time, she had sworn to Sun Shaoyun that she wouldn't be with Cheng Dongge. Not long after, Sun Shaoyun ran into her at Cheng Dongge's house, dressed like this.
"I'm with him, and I'm very serious." Qi Chengyue summoned her courage and looked at Sun Shaoyun. Her voice wasn't soft, but it was very firm.
"How long have you been together?" Sun Shaoyun asked.
Qi Chengyue didn't know how to answer. They had just gotten together, and she had already spent the night here. She could guess what they had done at night. She was afraid that Sun Shaoyun would think that she was a loose person.
But before she could answer, Sun Shaoyun said as if she was talking to herself, "The last time you came to Gravel City was not long ago, so you haven't been together for that long."
"Auntie …" Qi Chengyue wanted to explain, but Sun Shaoyun spoke again. "Miss Qi, didn't you say so firmly last time that you wouldn't hold Dongge up? For the sake of him and our family, you wouldn't be together with him?"
"Auntie, that was really what I thought at that time, and I thought I could do it." Qi Chengyue took a deep breath and exhaled. "Dongge and I work in the same company, and we see each other all the time. Anything that happens between us will spread throughout the company. We can even coincidentally bump into each other at the company entrance on our way to and from work, or we can even take the same elevator. I've also seen Huang Ziyue look for him, and I've seen him go on blind dates with other young ladies.
"He did it on purpose to piss me off. He wanted to see if I could take it anymore, and if I could really let him go. In the end, I really couldn't let him go. When I saw him go on blind dates with someone else, I was so angry that my stomach hurt. When I saw Huang Ziyue look for him and want to get back together with him, I felt even worse. I hid in the car and cried. I felt that I would never be able to see him with another woman for the rest of my life. I could say that I was strong, but after experiencing it, I realized that I couldn't do it. When he went on blind dates with someone else, I couldn't help but secretly follow him. I thought that if he had married someone else, I might have quietly watched him for the rest of my life, and then he would never know that I was angry and crying alone. My older brother and sister-in-law even wanted me to accept someone else, but no matter what, those people weren't Cheng Dongge, so I couldn't accept them. I couldn't make do with someone else for the rest of my life.
"So I agreed. I was selfish. I didn't want him to feel bad, and I didn't want myself to feel bad either. The moment I decided to be with him, I had the attitude that I was serious about marrying him. Auntie, I know that I'm a divorcee, and I've wronged Cheng Dongge. I'm afraid you guys won't like me. With Cheng Dongge's qualifications, you can find a lot of people who are better than me, but — "
Sun Shaoyun had already stood up and said, "Miss Qi, my mind is in a mess right now. I originally came up to see my son, but I ended up seeing you here dressed like this. Do you understand the surprise?"
Qi Chengyue nodded and lowered her head, not saying anything.
"So don't tell me about this for now. Don't tell me how much you like Dongge, and don't tell me about your dilemma. My mind is in a mess, and I can't think clearly." Sun Shaoyun sighed. "I need some time alone to think about it."
Sun Shaoyun stood up again. She gripped her bag, and her palms were sweaty.
"I'll leave first. If Dongge comes back, you don't have to tell him that I was here, in case he starts worrying again." Sun Shaoyun finished speaking and walked towards the door.
"Auntie, he'll be back soon. Please wait here for a while! You came all the way from Gravel City, so you can't just leave. You took a plane here, right? You must have already booked a return ticket. You have nowhere to go even if you leave now, don't you? It would be better if you waited here for Dongge to come back. "Qi Chengyue chased after her.
"No, I can change my flight." Sun Shaoyun walked to the door and put on her shoes.
Qi Chengyue was still barefoot, so she quickly found a pair of slippers and put them on. "Auntie, how can I let you go like this? You —"
"Don't try to persuade me. I know I'm Dongge's mother, and because of him, you don't want to be disrespectful to me. You let me go just like this because you're afraid that he'll be angry, right? I just want to calm down. I have to go back and discuss this with Old Cheng. To be honest, I don't know how to face you right now. I'm afraid that if I stay any longer, I might say something unpleasant. Let's both calm down. Don't stop me. If you do, I'll be the one angry, "Sun Shaoyun said calmly. It was obvious that she was restraining herself.
"Auntie …" Qi Chengyue watched her walk into the elevator, but she didn't dare to chase after her. She couldn't chase after her dressed like this.
She was so anxious that she didn't return to her room. She waited in front of the elevator for Cheng Dongge to come back. Cheng Dongge didn't bring his phone, so she couldn't contact him even if she wanted to.
At this moment, the doorbell of Cheng Dongge's neighbor rang. His son, daughter-in-law, and grandparents had brought their grandson out for a weekend outing. When they reached the elevator, they were stunned by Qi Chengyue's attire.
Qi Chengyue awkwardly backed away from the elevator. She lowered her head and didn't know what to say.
Fortunately, the elevator arrived at this moment. Cheng Dongge walked out of the elevator, and the neighbor entered the elevator.
"Why were you waiting here?" Cheng Dongge asked as soon as he saw Qi Chengyue.
Qi Chengyue hurriedly grabbed Cheng Dongge's arm. "You just went out to buy breakfast. Why did you take so long?"
Cheng Dongge lifted the bag in his hand. "You didn't bring a change of clothes, so I bought you some clothes and underwear."
Qi Chengyue hurriedly covered Cheng Dongge's mouth. The elevator's soundproofing was terrible. Anything they said here could be heard from the elevator to the next floor.
She took the bag from Cheng Dongge's hand and said, "Auntie came just now. When she saw me here, she left. I couldn't even stop her. Hurry up and chase after her."
"My mom?" Cheng Dongge asked in surprise.
"Yeah, she must be very dissatisfied with me, right? Hurry up and chase after her. I can't let her go back in a bad mood. "Qi Chengyue pressed the elevator button and urged Cheng Dongge. "She just left a few minutes ago. I should be able to catch up."
Cheng Dongge nodded, but instead, he walked home.
"What are you doing?" Qi Chengyue grabbed him.
"Going home to get the car keys. Otherwise, who knows how long it'll take to find her on foot. We might miss her, "Cheng Dongge said as he opened the door with the key and took the car keys from the glass bowl on the cabinet by the door." Wait for me at home. "
Qi Chengyue nodded, and Cheng Dongge left.
Qi Chengyue placed the breakfast Cheng Dongge had bought in the kitchen and took them out one by one. According to the time Sun Shaoyun had arrived, she should have eaten on the plane. However, the food on the plane wasn't delicious, so she probably didn't eat much.
Cheng Dongge had gone to the nearby Yonghe Supermarket to buy porridge and youtiao.
The other two bags contained the underwear and clothes Cheng Dongge had bought for her.
The underwear could be worn for the time being, so there was no need to be so particular about it. She took off the underwear she was wearing and dried it with the hairdryer. Then, she washed the new one and changed it into the T-shirt and jeans Cheng Dongge had bought.
Whether it was the underwear or the pants he had bought, they were all very fitting, as if they had been specially measured.
She didn't know that Cheng Dongge had been hugging her all day, so he was very familiar with her measurements.
Not long after she tidied herself up, she received a call from Guan Liya asking if she was with Cheng Dongge.
"Yeah." Qi Chengyue walked to the balcony and talked to Guan Liya. At the same time, she checked to see if Dongge had found Sun Shaoyun.
"I'm relieved that he's with me. You're already a grown up and have your own ideas. I won't restrict you, but if you don't come back to sleep, let us know so we won't worry," Guan Liya said over the phone.
"Yeah, it was my negligence. I won't do it again," Qi Chengyue said. "Oh right, Mom, the results of Zhou Mingyan and the Guan family's case are out."
She told Guan Liya the results, and Guan Liya didn't say anything. She felt pity and sympathy for Guan Xiaolin's infertility, but it was also karma.
After hanging up, she saw Cheng Dongge's car. Sun Shaoyun and Cheng Dongge got out together. Qi Chengyue hurried to the door and waited. After about a minute, she heard the sound of Cheng Dongge unlocking the door.
When the door opened, Sun Shaoyun came in first. Qi Chengyue greeted, "Auntie."
Sun Shaoyun sighed and nodded.
"Mom's flight back tomorrow morning," Cheng Dongge explained.
"Auntie, Dongge bought breakfast. I'll heat it up and eat," Qi Chengyue said.
"No need, I already ate on the plane." Sun Shaoyun took her bag and went to the living room.
Cheng Dongge looked at Sun Shaoyun's back and followed Qi Chengyue to the kitchen. "I didn't expect her to come today. Don't worry, I'll take care of Mom's work."
Qi Chengyue didn't say anything. She knew she couldn't throw everything to Cheng Dongge. She looked up and saw that he was wearing a casual shirt and trousers, looking fresh and handsome.
Unknowingly, she liked this man more and more and became attached to him.
If it weren't for Sun Shaoyun, she would have thrown herself into his arms and acted like a spoiled child.
Cheng Dongge saw through her thoughts and smiled. His long arms wrapped around her. "How was last night? I've been wanting to ask you. "
"…" Qi Chengyue blushed and looked up at his elegant and steady face. Although she was a little shy, she couldn't help but joke. "What do you mean? Mental or physical? "
If it weren't for Sun Shaoyun, Cheng Dongge would have laughed out loud and wrapped his arms around her waist even tighter. "Then tell me about it."
"Physically, I'm not tired. I'm fine now." As Qi Chengyue spoke, she rolled her eyes. "In terms of spirit, you performed even better than you did, so I'm especially satisfied."
Qi Chengyue's face turned red.
Cheng Dongge raised his head and laughed silently. He lowered his head and kissed her heavily. He didn't dare to dawdle here for too long, mainly because he was afraid that Sun Shaoyun would have a problem with Qi Chengyue. He went to the living room.
The porridge Cheng Dongge bought was filled with big bowls in the restaurant, but the bowls at home were small, exquisite bowls, so the two big bowls could be separated into four small bowls.
There were still some salted vegetables in the fridge. Qi Chengyue also put the fried dough sticks on a plate and brought them to the living room on a tray. She placed everything on the coffee table.
Her father placed a bowl of porridge in front of Sun Shaoyun and said, "Auntie, if you're not hungry after eating on the plane, then have a bowl of porridge."
Actually, Sun Shaoyun didn't eat much on the plane. She was in economy class, and the breakfast on the plane was terrible. There was a braised egg, a small fried dough stick that wasn't crispy at all, a small steamed bun, a small box of salted vegetables, and a small glass of ice-cold mineral water.
She reluctantly ate the fried dough stick, the braised egg, and half a steamed bun. The salted vegetables were too salty, so she didn't touch them. Moreover, when they were placed together with the steamed bun, the steamed bun also became salty.
Now that she smelled the fragrant aroma, even though it was also bought, it aroused her appetite.
Seeing Qi Chengyue place the chopsticks in front of her, Sun Shaoyun picked up the bowl without a word, picked up the chopsticks, and started eating.
Sun Shaoyun was going to stay there that night. She didn't mention anything about her and Cheng Dongge to Qi Chengyue. It wasn't appropriate for Qi Chengyue to stay there that night, so Cheng Dongge sent her home.
Seeing Qi Chengyue return, Guan Liya was quite surprised. "Why did you come back to stay tonight?"
"…" Qi Chengyue was speechless for a moment. "Mom, how can you be like this, hoping that your daughter will always spend the night with a man?"
"I trust Cheng Dongge, don't I?" Guan Liya said. "You two didn't have any conflicts, did you?"
"No, your imagination is a little wild! Weren't you looking out the window just now? Cheng Dongge was the one who sent me back. What conflicts could there be? I just don't think it's good to always stay at his place, right? "Qi Chengyue didn't mention Sun Shaoyun's matter, afraid that Guan Liya would worry and get angry.
Although Sun Shaoyun had always been polite to her, she was still disliked by the man's family. No mother of a daughter would be happy.
