Chapter 42: Actions Drive Conscience
Xu Na never knew that Hu Xingwei had such a side, or that she hadn't encountered anything that made him reveal this side before.
"I'll go sit for a while and then come back." Hu Xingwei hung up the phone.
Xu Na took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, so she had the strength to start the car and go to the kindergarten.
The funny voices and laughter of girls drove away the gloom in Xu Na's heart. She smiled. Maybe she was wrong, and she was always thinking about correcting Hu Xingwei. Maybe the one who really wanted to change was herself.
"Dad is not having dinner at home today. Let's have a small family meeting to discuss whether to go home or go out to eat?" Xu Na asked her daughter seriously.
Hu Fan poked his head out from behind, "I've been sick these days and I've been eating light foods. I almost forgot what the meat tastes. Mom, let's eat fish."
Xu Na couldn't help laughing, "Okay, then eat fish."
It was clearly said it was meat, but finally it was fish.
The world of children is sometimes that simple. You can say whatever you want and do whatever you want.
Xu Na called Xu Li, answered the mother and daughter, and the four of them went to eat a big pot of stew.
In the ‘Better Daily necessities store’, Hu Xingwei just came in and smelled the fragrance of food, and Zhiqiu also walked out of the room inside.
"I came just right. I took some wild fish and stewed it with Maitong. Let's take a sip."
Before Hu Xingwei came, he thought about talking about investment with Mai Tong. He sat for a while and left. He didn't know that Zhiqiu was stewing fish in her shop. Now he opened his mouth and said he was leaving. He was so proud that he couldn't say it. In the end, the matter was completely in the direction he was facing.
Maitong also walked out of the kitchen. She was still wearing white clothes, but this time she changed into a white dress, dignified and elegant.
As he approached, Hu Xingwei could still smell the perfume on her body, which contained the sauce aroma of stewed fish. It was not annoying that the two were mixed together.
Maitong nodded aside, "It's not a ticket to get up, sit down and try the black tea I brought back from Sri Lanka."
Zhiqiu seemed very familiar with this place. While going to help bring tea, he also brought out a box of snacks. "Put it first, the fish will taste after stewing for a long time. This is the snack Mai Tong brought back from Japan."
"You have been running abroad a lot." Hu Xingwei smiled and picked up a piece of snack, but he couldn't taste it when he ate it.
It is even more joyful in suffering.
Mai Tong sat down opposite him, with a tea table between the two people, "One person is also staying, others can still be busy making money. I don't lack money now, the most is time."
"Look, this is the tone of the boss speaking." Zhiqiu joked with a smile.
Mai Tong smiled and said, "What big boss, I can only say that I have good luck."
Such a relaxed atmosphere did not relax Hu Xingwei, but instead felt uncomfortable all over, as if he was having an affair, but he felt guilty about Xu Na and the child.
Over the years, in everyone's eyes, his marriage was happy, his wife was young and had a good temperament, and his daughter was cute.
But on this sensitive day, he once again lied to Xu Na because of Mai Tong, and even sat here and chatted and laughed. He himself felt that he was a bad man.
