The Love Book

The phone is gently turning between the fingers, the man slightly squinted narrow peach blossom eyes, the finger moved, open the screen, and dialed a number out.

After a dozen seconds of ringing there, came the woman’s lazy voice, “Hello …”

“It seems that you are very idle ah.” He hooked his lips, his words mocking.

“Do you think I want to? If it weren’t for the fact that I’ve been put off by someone, I’d be at home with no time to grow grass?”

John Lu snorted unmercifully, “Phoebe Barnes, can you say anything more than that?”

The woman said heavily, “Yes, I plan to take on Feng’s big movie tonight and give him a head start.”

The man scoffed, “Aren’t you afraid he’ll pick you up first and fuck you later?”

“I’m pregnant.”

“…”

Phoebe Barnes picked a grape over there and stuffed it in her mouth, saying, “Come on, tell me what you came to see me about. It’s not as simple as asking for peace, is it?”

“You’re my mother, and I’m asking you goodbye.” John Lu could not help but snicker at her, and then, said in a good-natured manner, “I just want to find that woman out, why is her number empty?”

“That woman? Which woman?” Phoebe Barnes spit out a mouthful of grape skins and asked carelessly.

“….”

John Lu held back for a moment and gritted his teeth, “Who else could it be? That crazy woman.”

“Oh, you mean Nancy.” Phoebe Barnes stuffed another grape in her small mouth and chewed a few times before saying slowly, “She changed her cell phone number, so of course this one is empty. Your brain can’t comprehend that?”

“…”

“Then what’s her new cell phone number?” John Lu felt that his patience had grown and he really wanted to strangle her.

“Oh, I don’t seem to have this one either, I’ve been using WeChat to contact her for the last few days, don’t you still have her WeChat signal?” She said in mock surprise.

“Phoebe Barnes,” John Lu growled her name through clenched teeth and sneered, “You’ve been too idle lately, haven’t you? Do you want me to find you something else to do? How about a mayor’s daughter this time?”

“…”

Phoebe Barnes was sunbathing on the sofa on the balcony, sniffing the corners of her mouth, looking up at the blue sky and saying helplessly, “John Lu, why are you targeting me? I did not provoke you, you miss her, I will send you her micro-signal will not become.”

“Which eye did you see that I miss her.” The woman deliberately misinterpreted the meaning, right?

“I didn’t see it with both eyes, I heard it with my ears.” Phoebe Barnes laughed coolly.

“…”

John Lu took a breath, forced himself to calm down, and asked, “I’m not going to bullshit you, where is she now? Why did you change your number?”

“You don’t know? Didn’t I tell you?”

The woman’s voice coming out of the phone was extremely innocent, making the man’s heart instantly stifle, gritting his teeth and squeezing out two words, “No!”

What little fairy, what eyes he used to have, this woman is definitely a demon.

“Oh, since we are all friends a, then I tell you now is not too late, you know, Nancy from Ning senior abroad, then did not seriously talked about a relationship, she can now be considered an older leftover in the leftover, parents are old pedant, the first few years have been urged again, recently gave her a final notice, must go home dating, so … she packed her bags a few days ago and went back home.”

John Lu’s eyes suddenly darkened, a trace of inexplicable anger welled up in his chest.

Back home?

I can’t believe I didn’t give him any news.

But why would she send him a message?

A self-deprecating smile swept across his lips and he said faintly into his phone, “I know.”

Phoebe Barnes hung up the phone over there, the corners of her mouth curled up in a conniving smile, her eyes full of calculation.

Well, her side is taken care of, the rest is up to Nancy’s side, fend for yourself.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

…

The ancient town of Fenglai in Linzhou, a town in the south of the Yangtze River by the mountains and the water, is misty with smoke and rain and pleasant water colors.

The ancient buildings of green bricks and tiles are staggered, old with a strange flavor.

The small bridges and streams are crowded with tourists and look quite lively.

In the room in the two-story attic at the entrance of the northwest alley, a woman sitting on the bed is holding a laptop fingers quickly tapping on the keyboard.

Outside the door suddenly came a shout, “Nancy, dinner is ready.”

“Oh … wait a minute, I’ll write the last bit and go down immediately.” The woman responded loudly while speeding up her tapping.

After writing the last sentence, she closed the computer with a snap, stretched, turned and climbed out of bed, and went downstairs to eat.

“Mom, what’s cooking today?” Nancy MO wore a loose dress and no makeup on her face, white and more than a little fresh and unpretentious.

“Well, it’s all what you love to eat.” Mo’s mother pointed to the meal on the table with her chin and untied the apron on her body, then added, “After eating, we’ll go to the hospital this afternoon.”

“…”

The happy color on Nancy MO’s face immediately froze, turning her eyes to pull the corners of her lips and looking at her, “Mom, didn’t you say you would give me a few more days? Why do you suddenly have to go to the hospital?”

The first day she came back, her mother noticed that something was wrong, and she knew the truth when she saw her throwing up in the bathroom early the next morning, so she didn’t even think of an excuse to say.

Not surprisingly, the couple, who are still somewhat traditional-minded, knew that she was unmarried and pregnant, and refused to say the father of the child, so they almost died of anger and cried for days, leaving her torn and guilty.

It took her a lot of effort to come up with that one de-escalating solution, both giving each other a little time, which she was ostensibly considering, but was really just trying to stall for time.

“Not enough time for you? You don’t think mom doesn’t know what you’re thinking, the more you delay this kind of thing the worse it is for your health, doing it early won’t have any effect on your health.” Mo’s mother looked at her, her eyes helpless and somewhat painful, “Nancy, listen to mom for once, okay?”

The most important thing is that your daughter is the most well behaved and obedient, never let them worry, so no matter what she does, they will also respect her, but this time, it really is beyond their bottom line, absolutely can no longer recognize her nonsense.

“Mom …” Nancy MO looked at her in a complicated way, not knowing what to say.

“Nancy, you do not want to tell us who the father of the child is, nor are you willing to say what the relationship between the two of you really is, raising such an unknown child, what are you going to do in the future? How can you marry someone?”

Mo’s mother held her hand tightly, repeating these words for an unknown number of times, her tone was very sad, “You are the only daughter in our family, why can’t you think about your parents? The first thing you need to do is to get a new one.

If she is not ruthless this time, this road she will go on will only be suffering, how can she let her baby girl suffer a thousand accusations, but also toil and hardship of a person to raise a child.
