The door opened with a bang. The person who appeared at the door was not Lu Jinshen, but Tong Qiao.
Sheng Yufei seemed a little surprised. "You're inside. Is Jin Shen in?"
Tong Qiao walked out of the room and closed the door. "Sheng Yufei, let's talk."
"Ziqian isn't feeling well. I …"
"Stop pretending. When you went out to buy fruits for Ziqian this morning, I asked Dr. Li to come over and take a look. He said that Ziqian has already recovered. Or maybe Ziqian wasn't sick at all. It was just a trick you used to get close to Lu Jinshen."
"Ziqian is my son. How could I joke about his health?" Sheng Yufei looked aggrieved. "I know you don't like me, but you can't slander me like this."
Tong Qiao frowned slightly. She was just testing Sheng Yufei with the last sentence. She wasn't sure. She would rather that she was overthinking things. Otherwise, a mother using her own child's health as an excuse to achieve her own goals was too terrifying.
"Jin Shen has to work. Don't disturb him here. Come here. I have something to tell you." Tong Qiao walked towards her room after saying that.
Sheng Yufei looked at Tong Qiao's back and the corners of her mouth turned up in a contemptuous smile. Tong Qiao was a woman without any shrewdness. She wasn't afraid of her. She wanted to hear what Tong Qiao had to say to her.
Sheng Yufei entered Tong Qiao's room. Her eyes were gentle, and her voice was gentle. "Ziqian is alone in the room. I'm worried. If you have something to say, say it quickly."
Tong Qiao hated Sheng Yufei the most. She looked gentle on the surface, but behind her back, she couldn't wait to skin her alive. She wanted to tear off Sheng Yufei's mask. "You saw everything just now, didn't you?"
Sheng Yufei looked puzzled and pretended not to understand. "See what?"
Tong Qiao crossed her arms and looked at Sheng Yufei leisurely. She said directly, "She saw me kissing Lu Jinshen."
Sheng Yufei looked apologetic. "I didn't see it. Ziqian wasn't feeling well and wanted to see his father. That's why I went to look for Jin Shen. I didn't know that you guys … I'm really sorry for disturbing you."
Tong Qiao couldn't be bothered to expose Sheng Yufei's lies. She raised her hand and gently stroked her lips. "I didn't disturb you. When you knocked on the door, Jin Shen kissed me even more passionately. My lips are probably swollen now."
Sheng Yufei's gaze fell uncontrollably on Tong Qiao's lips. They had just been moisturized, fresh, and slightly swollen. Sheng Yufei's hands clenched tightly by her sides, and her gaze gradually turned cold. She tried her best to control herself, but the anger in her heart burned away her self-control bit by bit.
Tong Qiao felt Sheng Yufei's emotional fluctuations and continued to provoke her. "Oh right, Jin Shen has already submitted the marriage application form. He said that he'll go and get the marriage certificate after I'm done with my confinement. I didn't agree to marry him before, but now I've thought it through. Even if it's for my daughter, I should make this family worthy of its name. Otherwise, it won't be good for me to continue living here as his fiancée, right?"
Sheng Yufei's eyes were filled with forbearance that was about to tear apart. The jealousy and anger in her heart were about to break through her rationality, but she knew that she couldn't fall out with Tong Qiao yet. Otherwise, she would become very passive. She had to lay the groundwork well and find a good opportunity to lay her cards on the table with Tong Qiao.
Sheng Yufei finally turned all her emotions into a smile. "You're right. I have to go and take care of Ziqian. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first. I hope you and Jin Shen can grow old together."
Tong Qiao cursed in her heart. This Sheng Yufei was too tolerant. Forget it. Anyway, Lu Jinshen had already divorced Sheng Yufei. No matter how much Sheng Yufei liked Lu Jinshen, it was just his past. There was no need for her to hold on to Lu Jinshen's past. As long as his present and future belonged to her, it was fine.
…
Lu Jinshen held Tong Qiao's hand as they came out of the nursery and walked her back to her room to rest.
Watching her lie down on the bed, Lu Jinshen covered her with the blanket and sat on the edge of the bed. He couldn't bear to leave and started the same conversation as he had for the past few days. "I want to sleep with you."
"No." Tong Qiao held the blanket with both hands and pulled it up to cover half of her face, only revealing a pair of watery eyes.
"I promise I'll be very obedient and won't touch you."
"No."
"Why?"
"Do you think I'm a three-year-old child? How can a man and a woman sleep on the same bed and just chat under the blanket? "
"Maybe. You can try if you don't believe me."
"I'm not going to try."
"Qiao 'er …"
"Lu Jinshen, aren't you bored saying the same thing every day?"
"It's not boring. What if you change your mind one day?"
"You're thinking too much. Firstly, I'm still in confinement. Secondly, we haven't registered our marriage yet. These two reasons are enough for me to keep refusing to sleep with you."
Lu Jinshen raised his eyebrows slightly. "We didn't do anything that night, and it was your first time seeing me. Why do you insist on sleeping with me?"
"I can sleep with you if I want to, but you can't sleep with me if you want to."
"That's not fair."
"There are so many unfair things in this world. I don't care about this one."
"Qiao 'er …"
"There's no room for discussion."
"Qiao 'er …"
"Get lost. I'm going to sleep."
Lu Jinshen still wanted to say something, but his phone rang. He took out his phone and saw the caller ID. He frowned subconsciously and got up. "Go to sleep. Goodnight."
Tong Qiao looked at Lu Jinshen's back view. She wanted to call out to him and ask, "Don't you want the goodnight kiss?"
But when she saw that he was walking toward the door while talking on the phone, she swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
Lu Jinshen ended the call and stood in the corridor for a moment. He looked at Tong Qiao's door and hesitated for a few seconds. In the end, he didn't say anything and went downstairs.
Lu Jinshen arrived at a bar and saw Sheng Yufei lying on the bar counter. He strode over and patted her shoulder gently. "Yufei."
Sheng Yufei slowly raised her head. Her eyes were dazed and unfocused, and she reeked of alcohol. She seemed to be in a drunken daze. "Jin Shen? Are you Jin Shen? "
Lu Jinshen frowned slightly. "Why did you drink so much?"
"I miss him. Do you know what it's like to miss someone?" Sheng Yufei suddenly laughed. "Of course you don't. Your fiancée is right beside you. Why would you miss her?"
Lu Jinshen said, "You're drunk. I'll take you home."
"I'm not going home. I want to drink." Sheng Yufei picked up the glass of alcohol on the bar counter and was about to pour it into her mouth.
Lu Jinshen snatched the glass from her hand.
Sheng Yufei reached out to grab it but didn't manage to. "Give it to me. Let me drink. I want to get drunk. I've drunk so much. Why can't I get rid of his image in my mind?"
Sheng Yufei poked her chest sadly. "Jin Shen, I feel terrible here. I really feel terrible. I miss him so much. My longing for him is like a net that's tightly wrapped around my heart. As time passes, that longing doesn't fade. Instead, it seeps deep into my bones."
Sheng Yufei began sobbing softly as she spoke.
