Withered Broken Ice Blue

Chapter 398: One-month business trip

Chi Feiwan woke up slowly, rubbed his eyes, and felt that his eyes were still a little sleepy and his consciousness was not yet fully awake.

She wanted to stretch lazily, but as soon as she stretched her arms, she felt the warmth in her arms, and that warmth woke her up instantly.

When he looked closely, he found that it was Little Pear lying in his arms, and he was stunned.

Little Pear's pink face looked particularly cute in the morning light, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she was having a sweet dream.

"Why is Xiao Lizi here?" Chi Feiwan muttered to himself in some confusion.

She tried hard to recall what happened last night, but she couldn't remember when Xiao Lizi got into their bed.

At this moment, Jiang Huaixu also woke up in a daze because of the movement in his arms.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at Chi Feiwan, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and there was a hint of pampering and satisfaction in that smile.

Since he was lying down, he couldn't see Xiao Lizi, so he didn't know that Xiao Lizi was lying on their bed.

"Good morning..." Jiang Huaixu's voice was a little lazy and hoarse.

Chi Feiwan didn't say anything but turned to look at Jiang Huaixu, and at the same time exposed Xiao Lizi's head in front of Jiang Huaixu: "Jiang Huaixu, where did you let Xiao Lizi sleep last night?"

She gently pushed Jiang Huaixu, motioning him to get up and take a look.

Jiang Huaixu then sat up, and when he saw Xiao Lizi, he was also surprised.

"When did Xiao Lizi run in?" Jiang Huaixu smiled and shook his head, his eyes full of helplessness.

He reached out and gently touched Xiao Lizi's hair, his movements so gentle as if he was touching a precious treasure.

Chi Feiwan smiled helplessly: "You won't let her sleep alone in our room, will you?"

Chi Feiwan got up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, so she was already dressed. However, she was very confused as to why there were clothes under her. She should have put all the clothes she took off at the end of the bed.

Chi Feiwan also got up, but very carefully, for fear of waking up Xiao Lizi: "Also, why did you put last night's clothes under me?"

Her cheeks flushed slightly, as if she had thought of something.

Jiang Huaixu smiled awkwardly. He couldn't say it was because of other reasons. If he told him that reason, Chi Feiwan would definitely be angry.

His eyes flickered and he tried to find an excuse to get away with it.

At this time, Little Lizi turned over, mumbled "Mom", and continued to fall asleep.

Chi Feiwan and Jiang Huaixu looked at each other. At the critical moment, it was still Xiao Lizi who had to take charge.

With her call, Chi Feiwan's attention was focused on Xiao Lizi. Looking at Xiao Lizi's cute appearance, she couldn't help but reach out and gently touch Xiao Lizi's hair. The soft touch filled her heart with love and pity: "Take Xiao Lizi back to the master bedroom to sleep. I'm going to take a shower. I'm not very comfortable with my sticky body."

Most of the time, Chi Feiwan would fall asleep immediately because Jiang Huaixu would always make her very tired.

Jiang Huaixu's eyes fell on the dirty clothes under Chi Feiwan, and he narrowed his eyes and carried Xiao Lizi to the master bedroom. He moved carefully, for fear of waking Xiao Lizi.

Chi Feiwan went to the bathroom and spent half an hour washing away all the dirt on her body. The warm water flowed over her skin.

She closed her eyes and enjoyed the moment of peace.

Jiang Huaixu was preparing a sandwich for himself in the kitchen: "I'm going on a business trip for a month, you come with me." His tone was firm and unquestionable.

Chi Feiwan paused while wiping her hair: "Jiang Huaixu, do you know what you are saying? If I leave, Xiaoli will be home alone?"

Xiao Lizi is her dearest child, how can she leave with peace of mind?

"Someone will take care of Xiao Lizi, what are you worried about?" Jiang Huaixu continued his movements, he seemed very confident in this arrangement.

Chi Fei asked before the night fell, "I'm worried? Jiang Huaixu, Xiao Lizi is too young now, and she depends on me a lot. Didn't you see what Xiao Lizi would be like in a month when I'm away?"

Over the past year, Xiao Lizi has never left Chi Feiwan. She has basically been inseparable from Chi Feiwan. Xiao Lizi knows his living habits better than Chi Feiwan.

At night, Chi Feiwan would coax Xiao Lizi to sleep, and Xiao Lizi would also hold Chi Feiwan to sleep every day. Occasionally, Xiao Lizi would run over in the middle of the night.

"Wanwan, this business trip is very important." Jiang Huaixu put down the sandwich in his hand, walked to Chi Feiwan and held her hand.

Chi Feiwan sneered: "Important? What does it have to do with me? I haven't worked for two years. Jiang Huaixu was the one who asked me to resign."

Why did he insist on asking a housewife who had stayed at home for two years to go on a business trip?

"Then who do you think can take good care of Xiao Lizi?" Jiang Huaixu looked at Chi Feiwan.

Jiang family? I'm afraid they are even less responsible than Jiang Huaixu.

Jiang Huaixu was not asking her, but informing her: "I have already told your third brother that when he comes back, he will stay at Qinglan Courtyard, and he will take Xiaolizi with him."

Chi Feiwan refused without a second thought: "Even the Chi family can't do that."

In fact, Chi Feiwan is quite conflicted. She doesn't want to drag her parents' grievances into the next generation, but deep down she still resists Xiao Lizi's contact with her family.

Jiang Huaixu also knew what Chi Feiwan feared the most: "Wanwan, they are related to Xiao Lizi by blood, and it is impossible for them to have no contact for a lifetime. You don't want to, but for Xiao Lizi, these are only good for her. Do you hope that Xiao Lizi will have no one behind her in the future?"

This is not what Chi Feiwan thought. No one is perfect. As long as family affection is involved, Chi Feiwan will become very conflicted.

Chi Feiwan was silent. She looked at Jiang Huaixu with a complicated light in her eyes.

She knew that what Jiang Huaixu said made sense. Xiao Lizi needed the love and companionship of her family, and she could not deprive Xiao Lizi of this right because of her conflicts.

However, she could not easily let go of the trauma of her childhood.

"Jiang Huaixu, I need some time to think about it." Chi Feiwan said softly.

Jiang Huaixu nodded: "Okay, I'll give you some time.

But Wanwan, this business trip is really important, and I hope you can go with me."

Chi Feiwan turned around and went back to the room. Looking at Xiao Lizi who was still sleeping soundly, she sat down gently beside the bed, reached out and stroked Xiao Lizi's cheek, feeling her warmth.

Little pear, what should mommy do?

She knew that she couldn't keep Little Lizi by her side forever. Little Lizi needed to grow up and be exposed to the world.

She couldn't become the second Guan Shu no matter what, so Chi Feiwan still wanted Xiao Lizi to interact with her family, but she was still worried.

Chi Feiwan knew a little about what his third brother was like. He wasn't exactly reliable, but his ability in taking care of children was definitely comparable to Jiang Huaixu's.

Chi Feiwan made a call, and Chi Yizi on the other end picked up the phone: "What's wrong, Wanwan?"

"Jiang Huaixu told me that you were the one who took care of Xiaolizi, and I want to confirm one thing with you."

I found a quiet place over there: “Ask.”

"Third brother, do you really know how to take care of Xiao Lizi? And why did you agree?"

In Chi Feiwan's memory, Chi Yizi was not a person who liked children, and she didn't think that someone like Chi Yizi would be able to take care of Xiao Lizi.

"Wanwan, I'm her uncle. Do I need a reason to take care of Xiaolizi?" Chi Yizi was of course angry. Chi Feiwan's trust in him was almost zero.

Chi Feiwan took a deep breath and said, "You're the best. I'll make a list later. You'll take care of Xiao Lizi according to the list this month, and..."

The call was hung up.

"Jiang Huaixu, I'm going on a business trip with you." Chi Feiwan walked out of the room and said to Jiang Huaixu.

Jiang Huaixu smiled with satisfaction: "Wanwan, I knew you would make the right decision."

Chi Feiwan walked up to Jiang Huaixu and asked, "Where are you going on this business trip?"

"Port City?"

"I don't think he lives in..."

"No, the Zhou family's interpersonal relationships are too complicated. I won't let you go. I have a house in Hong Kong City, and this time I'm mainly going to get in touch with some Hong Kong City industries."

As Jiang Huaixu grows older, he will be accepted into more and more industries and have more and more work.

Gangcheng is a major project for the Jiang family. Jiang Daiyue was in charge of it before, but now he has handed over all the work to Jiang Huaixu, which can be regarded as a training for him.

In the following days, Chi Feiwan and Jiang Huaixu began to prepare for the business trip.

They discussed Xiao Lizi's living arrangements together, contacted Chi Feiwan's third brother, and explained Xiao Lizi's living habits and precautions in detail.

It was pouring rain on the day we set out for Hong Kong City
