Chapter 22: I can't sleep without your arms.

"Mom, take care of her for me, I'll be right back when I'm done with things."

"Lu Jian Shen, get this straight, Nanxi is your wife, I order you to give it to me right away."

Yun Shu's words were hung up by Lu Jian Shen before she could finish.

"This bastard boy, see how I'll clean him up when I come back."

Nan Xi's fingers almost snapped into her flesh, but it seemed like she couldn't feel the pain.

She really was still the one who had been given up.

Between her and Fang Qinglian, he seemed to have made a good choice without even thinking about it.

Fool, you are the one who is delusional.

The answer you should have known long ago, why do you still want to wish for it once and then disappoint yourself once more!

Seeing that Nanxi's mood is obviously low, Yun Shu pulls her hand, "When he comes back, mom will teach him a good lesson to take it out on you, don't think about anything right now, rest well up there."

"Good."

At this time, the knock on the door outside sounded again.

Nan Xi hurriedly spoke, "Mom, don't worry, I'm not in any serious trouble here, just lie down and rest for a while. There are still a lot of guests waiting for you outside, you should hurry up and go."

"Good, then I will go down first, if there is anything you send someone to tell me."

"Uh-huh." Nan Xi nodded her head obediently.

After Yun Shu left, Nan Xi made the people serving in the room go out as well.

The large room immediately became empty, as if even the air had become crisp and cold.

Yes, it was cold.

Nanxi hugged herself tightly and rested her head on her knees, staring blankly ahead.

She didn't know what she was looking at, but she felt blocked in her heart and wanted to cry.

But really let her cry, she can not cry out.

Obviously, it was a sunny and warm day, for some reason, she actually felt extra cold.

She took off her jacket and shrunk her entire body under the quilt, and rolled the quilt up airtight and pressed it tightly.

But Nanxi still felt windy, and her body was still shivering with cold.

Her body had never been very good, her body cold was severe, and her hands and feet were even colder all year round.

In the middle of winter, even if the room had the heater on, her hands and feet could still be icy.

In the past, when she was cold, she always liked to go over to Lu Jianxin's side, although she didn't dare to drill into his arms, but she still dared to get a little closer.

It was amazing to say that every time she got close to him, she felt her body warm up and then she could have a good sleep.

And today, she had been lying under the quilt for half an hour, yet she was still staring at the ceiling and the chandelier overhead with her eyes open, not feeling sleepy at all.

Suddenly, the cell phone rang.

Lu Jianxuan's call.

The tears that Nanxi had been holding back suddenly became uncontrollable when she saw the word "husband" on the screen, and they fell without warning.

Turns out, she is not painless.

It is not that she is not sad, not sad.

It's just that she was desperately holding back, desperately telling herself that she couldn't cry, mustn't cry.

And his name was like a switch that instantly flipped the button on her tears.

So the tears were no longer under control, dripping down frantically, smashing onto the screen of her cell phone.

Pick up?

Or not to pick up?

She didn't know.

Then her fingers were no longer controlled by her heart, and she pressed the "answer" button ahead of her.

Nanxi put the phone close to her ear, and soon, a familiar voice came from there: "Did you ask the doctor to look at it, and how do you feel now?"

"Uh, looked."

She lied.

"Get some rest up there, get some sleep, I'll be right back."

"Okay." Nanxi nodded.

On the phone, silence fell.

Just then, Fang Qinglian's voice suddenly came in, with obvious pettiness, "See deep, I want to eat grapes, will you peel them for me?"

"Uh, you lie down, I'll peel them for you."

After Lu Jian Shen replied, he returned to the phone, "If there's nothing else, then I'll hang up."

Originally, she should have gently replied back to him with a "No." as she had done countless times in the past, and then smiled and graciously hung up. , then smiled and graciously hung up the phone.

But today, I don't know what happened?

She grabbed the phone and shouted with some urgency, "I'm not okay."

"I'm so cold, I covered a lot of blankets, in the past I always warmed up after a while when I hugged you, but today I can't warm up, I can't sleep without you by my side."

After Nan Xi finished speaking, the other side was instantly quiet.

On the phone, even the breathing of the two became clear to the extreme.

One second, two seconds, three seconds

For ten whole seconds, Nan Xi didn't hear his reply.

It must have been her words that made it difficult for him.

Her pair of bright eyes finally dimmed in the long wait, and she lost like a clown, in a state of disarray.

"Sorry, I'm hanging up."

After saying that, Nan Xi hung up the phone almost like a deserter.

After hanging up, Nan Xi regretted it.

Idiot, what were you doing just now? It was like a favored concubine competing for the emperor's favor.

What a crazy thing to do, she had just nakedly and unabashedly competed for favor with Fang Qinglian on the phone.

Nanxi, you're really becoming more and more unproductive.

Lying on the bed for a while, Nanxi still didn't fall asleep, at this time, Zhou Sister-in-law came up: ''Young lady, madam said that the banquet will be held soon, and asked how is your body now? Will you eat at the banquet with the old master, or will we send up to the room to eat."

Nan Xi gave her answer almost without thinking, "I'll go eat at the banquet with grandpa."

Grandpa's 80th birthday was so grand, she must not spoil his fun.

"Sister-in-law Zhou, wait for me, I'll wash my face and fix my hair."

"Okay young lady, you're not in a hurry, I'll wait for you outside."

After tidying up her clothes and hair, Nan Xi was about to go down with sister-in-law Zhou when she suddenly thought of something, she immediately asked, "Sister-in-law Zhou, where's See Deep, is he back yet?"

"Not yet."

Noon was the main meal of the banquet, if he, the grandson, didn't come back, he would inevitably fall on deaf ears.

Even if people couldn't say anything in front of the Lu family, they would definitely say something when they went out.

Moreover, if Grandpa knew that Fang Qinglian had come back, and saw that Shen had delayed the banquet in order to see Fang Qinglian, he would definitely be furious.

If Grandpa really got angry, she wouldn't necessarily be able to persuade him at that time.

After thinking about it, Nan Xi called out to Mrs. Zhou, "Let's wait a little longer, I'll go back when he comes back."

"Young lady, this way, if the banquet starts late, everyone will say that you don't know what you're doing and have lost your temper, you're helping young master to block all this badness, with good intentions."

Sister-in-law Zhou looked at her, her eyes full of heartache.

Such a good young lady, why does the young master just not cherish it!

Madam and Master's place is also, letting Madam's such an excellent wife not live a good life, but have to go outside to find another vixen.

She said that the old master and the old lady is good, the two people from the marriage from the eyebrows, the couple is more husband and wife, never quarreled, there are things the old master will let the old lady.

So even if the old lady passed away for so long, the old master has never remarried, has been deeply in love with the old lady, but also only her a wife.

This wait was ten minutes.

Nan Xi made several calls to Lu Jian Shen in a row.

However, she never dreamed that the last call was answered by Fang Qinglian.

What's going on?

Wasn't he already on his way back?

Why was it Fang Qinglian who answered the phone?

Could it be that he was bringing Fang Qinglian to Grandpa's birthday?
