I almost touched the moon

Chapter 365 If you want a divorce, just say it

When the cigarette ash burned out, Wen Song also received a call from Astrid. She asked in confusion: "Mama, Papa ist wieder da, wo bist du?"

(Mom, Dad is back, where are you?)

Wen Song put out the cigarette in his hand and said softly in a gentle tone: "Honey, Ich habe jetzt etwas zu tun, bin bald zuruck."

(Baby, I'm busy now. I'll be back soon.)

She stood outside for a while, until the smell of smoke was no longer on her body, then she walked back into the ward.

In the room, Cheng Che had already returned. When he looked at Wen Song, he walked forward excitedly, hugged her gently, and said in surprise: "Why didn't you tell me in advance that you were back? Did you deliberately want to surprise me and Astrid? Baby, I missed you so much."

Wen Song pushed him away calmly, twitched his lips, and said with a smile: "It's a shock."

"Baby, what are you talking about?" Cheng Che held her hand, leaned in and kissed her cheek, and whispered in her ear in a coquettish tone, "Baby, there is really nothing between her and me, don't think too much. If you don't like Secretary Bai, I will let her leave now."

Wen Song continued to maintain a calm smile, but the smile did not reach his eyes. He said coldly: "I will not interfere with your work."

Astrid didn't understand the Chinese they were speaking, so she asked in confusion, "Mom and Dad, what's wrong?"

Wen Song did not answer her question, but walked forward and said with a smile: "Nothing, it's about Dad's work."

Seeing her like this, Cheng Che knew that Wen Song was really angry, and was a little at a loss for a moment. He walked behind her and hugged her gently, trying to say in a light tone: "I was really wrong, wife, just scold me, don't ignore me."

Wen Song ignored him and just chatted with Astrid. Astrid still smelled the cigarette smoke on her, frowned slightly, covered her nose and said, "Mom smells like cigarettes, I don't like it."

Wen Song smiled awkwardly and smelled her own scent. She could clearly no longer smell it. She said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Astrid. I just smoked. I'm so sorry. So I'm going home first. See you tomorrow."

Astrid felt a little lost, so she grabbed her arm, looked up at her expectantly, and asked, "Can't mommy stay with daddy and accompany me? I miss mommy so much."

Wen Song shook her head, touched her hair and said, "I'm sorry, baby. Mommy has to go home. You know, Mommy can't sleep in an unfamiliar place. And Cece is alone at home, and you have Daddy with you, so Mommy has to go back to accompany Cece."

"Okay..." Astrid nodded very sensibly, "Then mommy has to come early tomorrow!"

When sending Wen Song downstairs, Cheng Che sighed softly and said helplessly: "You have been in the United States for more than a month. Astrid really misses you. Even if you are angry with me, don't take it out on her. Can't you stay with her? If you don't want to see me, I'll go home."

"Does she need me to accompany her?" Wen Song turned around and looked at Cheng Che indifferently, sneering, "Haven't you already found someone more suitable than me to accompany her? Someone who is more attentive than a nurse, who can make soup for her and dress you. I can't do these things, so what's the point of accompanying her?"

"Song Song..." Cheng Che frowned and asked in confusion, "What are you talking about? What happened? Baby, don't hide it from me."

Wen Song felt a little tired and didn't even want to say anything. Seeing Cheng Che's innocent look, he became even angrier and said unhappily, "Go ask your Xiao Bai what she said to Astrid today and what questions she asked."

After saying that, she immediately got in the car, closed the door, rolled down the window and said, "I don't want to argue with you. I'm going home first. You go stay with Astrid."

Cheng Che looked at the taillights of the car going away, guessed what was going on, and sighed with some displeasure.

When Astrid returned to the ward, she was lying on the bed reading a comic. She saw him coming back with a gloomy face. Although she didn't understand Chinese, she guessed roughly. She looked at Cheng Che, a little confused, "Dad, did you quarrel with Mom?"

Cheng Che forced a smile, took the comic from Astrid's hand and said gently, "No, honey, mom just came back from America, so she's very tired."

"But mom doesn't seem happy..." Astrid is young, but she can read people's expressions. "Aunt Esther said something today, and mom seemed to have heard it. She must be very angry. Dad, I don't like Aunt Esther. She told me that mom is very selfish. But dad said that mom is not selfish at all, she just takes everything she does very seriously."

After hearing what she said, Cheng Che also understood the general idea. He felt speechless and angry, and asked Astrid, "Did she ask you anything else?"

Astrid snorted and said angrily, "She asked me if I liked her or mom more. Dad, I really hate Aunt Esther!"

Late at night, Wen Song was still sleepy due to jet lag, so he was lying on the bed holding Cece and reading a book. Just then, the bedroom door opened, and Cheng Che walked in quickly, looking flustered and worried.

When Wen Song saw him, he showed an obvious surprise and subconsciously put the book in his hand aside.

Cheng Che immediately walked up to her and hugged her, saying guiltily, "I'm sorry, honey. I know everything. I was wrong. It's my fault for not controlling my employees well. Baby, don't ignore me. You are very angry, right? Then scold me."

When Wen Song heard his words, she just felt tired and irritated. She had heard such words too many times in the past ten years.

"Cheng Che." She broke free from his embrace, stood up and said, "If you want a divorce, you can just say it directly. There's no need to let others disgust me."

"What do you mean by divorce?!" Cheng Che was shocked when he heard her words. "Baby, what are you talking about? I know everything. I have already fired Xiao Bai. Song Song, don't you know what kind of person I am? She and I are really just an employer and employee relationship. There is nothing else."

Wen Song nodded, sighed and said, "Of course I know there is no substantial relationship between you and her, but I don't understand why you asked your secretary to come to the hospital to take care of my daughter? Is there no one to take care of Astrid?"

"I'm sorry, baby..." Cheng Che hugged her in his arms again, gently stroked her back and said, "Xiao Bai came to the hospital to see me a few times and gave Astrid the desserts she made herself, which Astrid liked very much. I thought she was very gentle and kind, so I didn't stop her... and I had to go to discuss cooperation today and couldn't accompany Astrid. Xiao Bai said she could take care of her for me, and Astrid agreed, so I didn't think much about it... I'm sorry, I didn't know she had such thoughts, I'm sorry, baby."

"And then?" Wen Song sighed, his tone a little confused. "I'm really tired and don't want to face all this as soon as I come back. Why have you always been surrounded by suitors since the first day we met? Are these things always caused by others? What have you done yourself? You said you don't know, but anyone with sense wouldn't let his secretary take care of his daughter."

After hearing what she said, Cheng Che also felt a bit overwhelmed. He lowered his head and said silently, "What can I do? I said that all the close employees around me should be replaced by men, and you said it was gender discrimination. I can't tell them that I'm married and they should stay away from me. It was indeed my fault to let Xiaobai take care of Astrid. I was not thoughtful enough. This kind of thing will not happen again in the future."

"You've said these things countless times, but have you really changed?" Wen Song sighed, "I'm not questioning your character, but I don't want your gossip to cause psychological trauma to my daughter. Don't tell me you don't know how Secretary Bai tells others about your relationship in the company. Even Cheng Xuan has heard some of the gossip, so you can't be unaware of it."

"I really don't know." Cheng Che frowned, feeling a little tired. "Wife, I have already fired her. Starting tomorrow, I will replace all my secretaries and assistants with men. Please stop being suspicious, okay?"

"I'm suspicious?" Wen Song was furious. "You don't understand what I'm saying, right? What I mean is that I don't want these things of yours to affect Astrid. You think she doesn't understand anything, but she's already 6 years old, and she can understand a lot of things. Dad's secretary asked herself who she liked more, her or mom. Is this a normal question? Astrid's personality is like yours, she's more sensitive and easily overthinks."

Cheng Che also explained: "I have already told Astrid that this is Xiaobai's fault, and it is also my problem. I told her that there is no problem between us, and I will always love only you, and asked her not to think too much. Astrid is still young, she won't think so much. So you should stop making trouble and go to bed early."

"I'm making trouble?" Wen Song felt even more speechless after hearing this and shook off his hand. "I'm very busy in the lab every day and I don't have the energy to make trouble with you."

"Go to sleep." Cheng Che put his arm around her waist as if to show his good will. "My dear, you have worked hard. Let's not talk about unhappy things. Go to sleep quickly. I will hold you in my arms when you sleep."

When I looked down at her hands, I noticed that her nails, which usually grew long and were done with manicures, were now cut short. All ten of her fingers were bare, and there were even rashes and peeling on the back of her hands.

"What's wrong with your hand? Are you allergic?"

He immediately found the ointment from the medicine box and applied it on the back of Wen Song's hand. He felt a little distressed, but was afraid that the ointment would irritate her, so he leaned over and blew on the back of her hand. "It doesn't hurt, does it? Does it itch? How could you be allergic?"

"Disinfectant." Wen Song softened his heart because of his unintentional action, and even his tone softened unconsciously, "The frequency of disinfection is too high, so I am a little allergic, but it's not serious. I'm going to sleep."

"Are you still mad at me?" Cheng Che hugged her and said pitifully, "Honey, I was really wrong. I'm sorry. Honey, are you not sleepy yet? If not, what did you want to eat yesterday? Squirrel mandarin fish, right? I'll make it now. I promise you, this is the last time, and it will never happen again."

"I don't want to eat. I'm sleepy." Wen Song thought about it again and again, and finally pushed him away. "A Che, I'm very confused now. Can you let me be alone for a while?"
