1968 Chapter 72, State Banquet (1)
They stayed at the Mo family home for a day.
The next morning, Mo Zixi left with Xu Weimiao.
They took a private plane back to the imperial capital together.
Mo Zixi went straight to work.
Xu Weimiao took a car back to their residence.
The way the two of them got along was very simple. They were polite and courteous to each other. In the eyes of others, they should be the most intimate husband and wife relationship, but in reality, they never seemed to cross the line! Xu Weimiao never asked Mo Zixi about state affairs, and Mo Zixi usually didn’t ask about what she did on a daily basis!
What did she do on a daily basis? !
From the beginning until she moved into this unfamiliar house, Xu Weimiao had indeed gotten used to it for a long time. Although her sister, Xu Weimiao, had also been living with them, Xu Weimiao would also go out for an internship, most of the time, she was still alone at home. She did not know what she was going to do. After thinking about it, she felt that she could learn something during this period of time. She used to study Chinese painting, later, because of her homework, she gave up. However, she had always been interested in Chinese painting, so she started painting again.
She thought that even if she was pregnant, letting her calm down and do something could be considered a kind of prenatal education for the child.
She had never expected that if she was pregnant, she would be like Mo Yinan, with a man by her side to take care of her. She needed to find a way that was suitable for her to live.
Fortunately, she was a person who could adapt to the environment more easily.
“Sister, you’re back?”Xu Weixiao looked at her and rushed forward enthusiastically.
“You don’t need to go out for an internship today?”Xu Weimiao was surprised.
Previously, Xu Weixiao would follow them back to the Hui Wen City. When they didn’t return to the city for the month, Xu Weixiao saw that they only went back for a day and a half each time. Since it was rare for her to go back, she basically didn’t follow them, moreover, every time she went back, they would send her back to the Xu family.
“It’s the weekend,”Xu Weixiao said. It seemed that she didn’t mean it, but some of her words were indeed a bit ironic. “Sister, you almost forgot the days when you were a full-time wife!”
“Really? I did forget it.”Xu Weimiao smiled.
“You caught a flight back so early in the morning. Have you had breakfast?”
“I had breakfast on the plane.”
“Brother-in-law went straight to work.”
“Yeah.”
“I also said that I have something to ask him about at work,”Xu Weimiao said unhappily.
“What is it?”Xu Weimiao asked.
“You won’t understand even if I tell you. You haven’t been to work before,”Xu Weimiao said. “I’ll ask him when brother-in-law gets off work.”
Xu Weimiao pursed his lips. “Then you wait for him to get off work.”
“Okay.”Xu Weixiao nodded.
“I woke up too early. I’m going to rest for a while. You can do whatever you want at home.”
“Alright, it’s your own home. Of course I’ll do whatever I want. Don’t worry about me. Go Rest by yourself. I know how to take care of myself,”Xu Weixiao urged, “It’s good for your body to drink some warm milk before you go to bed. I’ll ask the maid to bring it in for you.”
“Thank you.”Xu Weimiao smiled.
Sometimes, she felt that her sister was a little distant from her. Sometimes, she felt that her sister might be like that. As she grew older, she would feel some distance, but in her heart, she still treated herself very well.
She turned around and returned to her room.
She took a simple shower. When she came out, the maid placed a cup of warm milk on her bedside.
She drank it all in one gulp.
The doctor also said that she should try her best to take care of her body during the preparation period, so even though she didn’t like drinking milk that much, she would still force herself to drink it.
After she finished drinking, she took the cup of milk out and went back to lie on the bed to sleep for a while.
Yesterday, she suggested to Zixi to go out for a walk.
She didn’t know when he would free up time.
She turned over and let herself go to sleep.
No matter how she looked at it, she felt that she was lying on this bed just to give birth.
Around 6 pm, Mo Zixi came back from work.
Xu Weimiao was already used to greeting him when he came back and then taking the briefcase that he would bring back occasionally.
Mo Zixi would nod at her as a greeting.
She would also give him a sweet smile.
The two of them got along very well, and it was very procedural.
She took Mo Zixi’s file bag and placed it in the study next door. When she came out, she saw Xu Weixiao pestering mo zixi about some work matters. Mo Zixi would answer some of her difficult questions very seriously and gently, she would give him advice, and every time Xu Weixiao would look at her with great admiration. His tone was also very casual. Xu Weimiao would sometimes feel that the things that she and Mo Zixi thought of.., were not as natural as the interactions between her sister and Mo Zixi.
She did not disturb their discussion and turned around to go to the kitchen for dinner.
At the dining table, Xu Weimiao kept asking Mo Zixi questions. Mo Zixi was also patiently giving her serious replies.
The entire dining room was filled with their discussions. Xu Weimiao felt that she was a little out of place. She sat beside Mo Zixi and ate quietly. Occasionally, she would help Mo Zixi pick up some of Mo Zixi’s favorite dishes.
In fact, she did not discover Mo Zixi’s favorite dishes by herself. Not long after they got married, Mo Zixi’s secretary gave her a lot of Mo Zixi’s usual habits and hobbies, saying that it would allow her to understand more about the commander-in-chief’s private life, in reality, it was to let her cater to Mo Zixi and not disturb his previous lifestyle.
She ate her dinner quietly, looking like she was really out of it.
She was really used to it. Wherever her sister was, it was her sister’s home ground.
In fact, she was very surprised herself. She and her sister had such different personalities. They were obviously born from the same parents, but they were so different when they grew up.
“Miaomiao,”Mo Zixi suddenly said.
Xu Weimiao, who was a little dazed, was stunned for a second and quickly responded, “Yes.”
“Didn’t you say that you wanted to go out for a walk?”
“Yes. Mom said that going out for a walk is more suitable for pregnancy, so I think we can give it a try. We’ve been married for nearly half a year,”Xu Weimiao explained.
“I went to check my schedule and schedule today. After next Sunday, I can spare about five days. We’ll go to Yunxuan Island to stay for a few days. It’s not open to the public, and the people there aren’t complicated. We don’t need to bring too many people with us. “We can go there for a vacation,”Mo Zixi said.
Xu Weimiao didn’t expect Mo Zixi to take it so seriously. She thought that Mo Zixi had just casually agreed. How could he have arranged everything in such a short time? !
She still felt a little emotional, so she quickly nodded. “Okay, I’ll make some preparations.”
“You don’t have to bring too many things. There’s everything there. Of course, you can bring some necessities and clothes that you think are necessary,”mo zixi reminded her.
“Okay.”
“Before that, there’s a state banquet next Saturday. You should prepare and we’ll attend it together. It’s an internal state banquet, and the people who will attend are all officials from northern Xia. Your parents will also attend,”Mo Zixi said.
“Okay.”Xu Weimiao nodded.
“Let’s eat,”Mo Zixi said gently.
Xu Weimiao smiled faintly.
Xu Weimiao looked at the two people in front of him. Looking at the interaction between them, he knew that they really didn’t have any passion for marriage. It was as if they were in their 70s or 80s, and everything was going according to plan. But even if he knew that.., he would still be inexplicably jealous.
Moreover, it had been half a year. She was so enthusiastic and proactive, but Mo Zixi still seemed to treat her the same way.
Her indifferent attitude didn’t change at all.
Now, she felt that Mo Zixi was very challenging!
She adjusted her emotions and smiled brightly. “Brother-in-law, do you want to take sister out for a walk?”
“Yes. While I’m free,”Mo Zixi nodded.
“That’s great,”Xu Weimiao said enviously. “I heard from sister that you’re going on a trip to relax because you’re not pregnant, right?”
“More or less.”Mo Zixi’s tone was always so gentle.
No one would feel that he was impatient, but after being together for a long time, they would feel that he was very distant.
“Indeed. I’ve also heard that couples are too stressed and can’t get pregnant properly,”Xu Weixiao chimed in and said enviously, “By the way, are you going to Yunxuan Island? That place is very beautiful. I’ve always wanted to go there, but it’s not open to the public. I’ve never had the chance.”
Xu Weimiao looked at Xu Weixiao.
Of course, she knew what her sister meant. Deep in her heart, she really didn’t want her sister to go out with her.
During this period of time, she had always been a little repulsed by her sister. Even she couldn’t understand why it was like this. In the past, they were very close to each other, but she was actually reflecting on whether she had changed.
“Next time, if you want to go, you can tell me in advance. I’ll help you arrange it,”Mo Zixi said bluntly.
“Really?”Xu Weixiao was very excited. “Then, Can I…”Go with you guys.
“This time, I’ll bring Miaomiao over first,”Mo Zixi said.
The meaning was very clear.
This was their intimate trip.
Xu Weixiao’s expression was a little awkward. Fortunately, her reaction was always quick, and she recovered in an instant. She smiled and said, “Okay, then brother-in-law, it’s a deal. Next time when I want to go over, remember to help me arrange it.”
“Okay,”Mo Zixi agreed.
“Oh right, did you say that mom and dad are coming to the State Banquet next week?”Xu Weixiao asked.
“Yes.”
“Then can I go and see the world too? I’ll just go with my parents. I Won’t disturb brother-in-law and sister, and you don’t have to care about me,”Xu Weixiao asked expectantly.
“Sure. Remember to contact your parents.”
“Thank you, brother-in-law. You’re so kind,”Xu Weixiao said warmly. “I’ll definitely say good things about you in front of my parents this time. You’re not only a good commander, but also a good family member!”
Mo Zixi smiled faintly. “Let’s eat.”
“Okay.”Xu Weixiao nodded obediently.
Xu Weimiao looked at her sister’s appearance.
She sighed slightly.
Had her sister changed, or had her heart changed? !
After dinner.
Mo Zixi habitually watched TV in the living room for a while. The things he watched were mostly current affairs related to politics. Xu Weimiao was also used to personally helping him peel fruits while he watched the news, she would turn into a small tooth and put it in front of Mo Zixi. Xu Weimiao would also eat the fruits she peeled with Mo Zixi. It seemed that he was very used to living here.
After the news, Mo Zixi would fall asleep before 10 pm when she was not dealing with official business.
Before falling asleep, Xu Weimiao would put the water in for him.
He would take a hot bath to help him sleep.
After the Bath, Mo Zixi would sit at the head of the bed and pick up the newspaper beside her to read for a while. Sometimes, this action was to wait for her to finish the pregnancy ceremony after the bath.
After he went to bed, Xu Weimiao went to take a shower and then lay down next to him.
He would ask her very gentlemanly if her period was over and if she wanted to have sex tonight?
She basically wouldn’t refuse after her period was over.
In fact, the older they got, the more formal it became.
Before, they would kiss each other. Now, it was basically straight to the point.
Both of them probably wanted to get pregnant.
It was the same tonight.
Mo Zixi put down the newspaper and looked at the pink and white wash on her face. “Is tonight okay? Or do you want to do it when we go on a trip next week?”
“I should be safe for the next few days,”Xu Weimiao thought for a while and said.
She meant that even if she did it, she might not get pregnant.
“Then go to sleep.”Mo Zixi laid down directly.
Xu Weimiao nodded.
She reached out and turned off the light in the room.
The light was dark.
The two of them went to sleep separately.
Apart from when they went to bed, the distance between them on the bed was a little far.
Xu Weimiao went to bed a little late this morning, so she really couldn’t fall asleep so early. She quietly looked at the white moonlight shining through the window..
When she was reading in the past, she would also read romance novels for a period of time. The things described in the novels were really not the same between her and Mo Zixi, but it seemed that nothing would change between them.
She closed her eyes and tried hard to let herself sleep.
The people around her were breathing evenly.
Mo Zixi’s habits and daily routine were basically monotonous and boring, but she was still the same. She had completely adapted to it.
A week later.
On the day of the state banquet.
Xu Weimiao brought Xu Weimiao to a designated place to pick out a gown.
Xu Weimiao’s gown was more traditional and atmospheric. Basically, every time she attended a banquet, it was custom-made and more grand.
After being ridiculed by Lu Yicheng during their previous marriage, Xu Weimiao had become much more tactful now. She would no longer struggle to wear the same clothes as Xu Weimiao, so she deliberately chose a gown that was completely different in style from Xu Weimiao’s, it was a long, slim, white dress. At first glance, it looked like a fairy-like dress, but upon closer inspection, one would feel that the thin silk texture was somewhat sexy.
The two of them changed their clothes.
Xu Weimiao turned to look at her younger sister.
Xu Weimiao’s own dress was a traditional qipao. Although there were some changes in the design of the Qipao based on tradition, it still followed the design of the Qipao. It could wrap her body up in curves, but it would not make people feel that she was frivolous, especially the traditional peony pattern, which was also full of grandeur. Wearing Xu Weimiao’s body, it complemented her gentle personality.
And Xu Weimiao.
She frowned slightly. “Xiao Xiao, do you want to change into a gown?”
“Why?”Xu Weimiao looked at her sister unhappily.
She liked this suit. It could show off her figure very well, and it was completely different from Xu Weimiao’s standard. She would definitely catch a glimpse of her in that kind of formal state banquet!
“Tonight is the state banquet. You need to be a little more serious. The gown you’re wearing is very nice, but it’s not suitable for the atmosphere of the state banquet.”Xu Weimiao tried her best to speak in a way that did not make Xu Weimiao uncomfortable.
She would really care about her sister’s feelings very naturally.
“That’s why I’m wearing this. I just want to remind brother-in-law not to be so rigid in this kind of banquet in the future. Although it’s a more official banquet, since it’s a celebration, don’t make it so lifeless. Sister, don’t worry. I know what I’m doing,”Xu Weimiao said impatiently.
“Xiao Xiao, the state banquet is not what you think. There are some things that can not be changed. This is a serious occasion to begin with. You should change into a new qipao. There are so many qipao. Your figure is very good, and it will look good on you,”Xu Weimiao advised.
“Sister, are you jealous that I can wear this kind of clothes and you can’t, so you don’t want me to wear it?”Xu Weimiao said straightforwardly.
Xu Weimiao looked at her.
She didn’t believe that her sister would suddenly say something like that!
“You haven’t been popular with me since you were young. I always thought that you wouldn’t mind. Now it seems that you’re jealous too, SIS, right? Are you afraid that I’ll be more eye-catching than you? “If that’s the case, I’ll change out immediately. I’ll wear whatever you want me to wear. You must be my sister, my biological sister. No matter how you treat me, I’ll treat you wholeheartedly,”Xu Weixiao said word by word.
Xu Weimiao pursed her lips. At that moment, she was actually feeling a little emotional. However, after all these years, she had gotten used to her sister’s personality and was also used to accommodating her everywhere. She said faintly, “Xiao Xiao, you’re thinking too much. You’re my sister. I Won’t be jealous if you’re better than me. I’ll only be happy for you! If you think this looks good, then wear this.”
“I feel the same way about you. I also want you to be better!”! “So, sister, if you have any dissatisfaction with me in the future, you can just tell me directly. Don’t keep it in your heart. I really just want to treat you better.”. “Even after living with you for so long, I still can’t bear to leave you. I’m also afraid that if brother-in-law takes you away, you won’t treat me so well anymore. I hope that our relationship will never change,”Xu Weixiao said sincerely, “And I may have gone too far with what I said just now. I’m just so sensitive because I’m afraid that you’re not good to me anymore. Sister, don’t take it to heart.”
Xu Weimiao smiled. “Well, I know you don’t have a heart. Besides, our relationship will never change. Even if I marry Zixi now, it won’t change my feelings for you.”
“Sister, I still feel that you are the best to me. Ever since I was young, no matter what, even if I am willful occasionally, you will always give in to me. The happiest thing in my life is to have a twin sister like you. I am very proud.”Xu Weimiao took the initiative to hold Xu Weimiao’s hand, the corner of his mouth was smiling very happily.
Xu Weimiao also smiled like this. “I am also very happy to have you.”
“Madam, excuse me. You can go over there and apply your makeup now.”A staff member walked over respectfully.
Xu Weimiao nodded.
Xu Weimiao also followed her sister to apply her makeup.
“Miss Xu, your makeup room is over here. I’ll take you there,”another staff member said politely.
Xu Weimiao looked at Xu Weimiao’s back view.
Naturally, the quality of the makeup room was different.
It was a private room that only the mother of the nation could enjoy.
She forced herself to smile and nodded slightly.
Ever since she was young, you would give me anything, whether it was your favorite toy or anything else, as long as I asked, you would give it to me. I just want one last thing from you, you still won’t mind, right!
She followed the staff into the dressing room and put on her makeup.
Xu Weimiao sat in the dressing room and sighed.
During this period of time, she was getting more and more powerless towards her sister. She really didn’t feel this way in the past, but now she felt that her feelings towards Xiao Xiao seemed to have changed a lot from the bottom of her heart, in the past, she would not hesitate to go along with her sister, but now, when she promised her something, there would be some emotional fluctuations in her heart. It was a feeling of resistance.
Did she really change? !
Was It really her own reason? !
Did she really change because she got married? !
Although, she seemed to care a little about Xiao Xiao and Zixi getting along..
She fiercely adjusted her emotions.
What Xiao Xiao had just told her, saying that their feelings would never change, she really felt a little guilty. She felt guilty that she did not seem to be sincere enough to her.
They were sisters, they shouldn’t be like this, they shouldn’t become prejudiced against her sister, she should treat her sister as well as before!
