"Young Master, we've saved her." When his subordinate brought Xu Li over, the woman's face was still covered in tears. She looked very pitiful. When she saw that it was Childe Shen, she looked at him with a shocked expression.
"Mr. … Mr. Shen?"
Seeing her like that, Childe Shen couldn't help but laugh. He raised his hand and said, "Have a seat!"
"Are you here alone?"
Xu Li looked at him with lingering fear and said, "I was here with a friend, but she met a guy and disappeared in the blink of an eye." Xu Li covered her chest and said, "Fortunately, I met you, Mr. Shen. Otherwise, those men would have taken me away today."
"You're welcome. This kind of thing rarely happens at my place, unless it's consensual." He looked at Xu Li and said, "But Miss Xu, you're so beautiful. No wonder those people dared to break the rules. Don't worry, I'll treat them well. "
Xu Li's eyes widened. She looked even more attractive. She smiled embarrassedly and said, "I'll be careful in the future. I won't disturb you anymore. I'm going home."
"Just in time!" Childe Shen stood up and said, "I'm going home too. I'll give you a ride!"
Xu Li's eyes lit up and she followed him with a smile. Childe Shen kept smiling until Xu Li got out of the car. He then laughed sarcastically and picked up the phone.
"Investigate again. There's something wrong with Xu Li."
When he got home, Zhang Mi was still playing games in the living room. Childe Shen took off his jacket and a lipstick fell out. Zhang Mi quickly picked it up and said, "Tell me, where did you fool around?"
"Haha!" Childe Shen looked at the lipstick and stole a kiss on her face while she was in a daze. "Look at it carefully. Don't you think it looks familiar?"
Zhang Mi opened it and looked at the color. She turned it over and over again and then clapped her hands. "It's Xu Li's!"
"Are you sure?"
"Of course, she recommended it to me a few days ago and even let me try it!" Zhang Mi looked at Childe Shen suspiciously. "Why do you have it?"
Childe Shen poured himself a glass of red wine. His beautiful eyes were shining under the light. Zhang Mi couldn't help but lower her head. She heard him say with a smile, "Say, if a wife finds her husband coming home in the middle of the night with lipstick in his pocket, and the lipstick is her friend's, how will she react?"
"Interrogate the adulterers, and then make this shameless man leave the marriage with nothing!" Zhang Mi said instinctively. Then, she was stunned. After a long time, she said, "She … she did it on purpose?"
Childe Shen patted her head and said, "You're not that stupid!"
"Why would she do that?" Zhang Mi couldn't figure it out. "Could it be that … she likes you?
The result of Xu Li's actions was nothing more than her having a quarrel with Childe Shen. In this way, she would naturally step forward to explain herself and appear magnanimous and innocent. A normal man would be attracted to such a woman at this moment. Slowly, even if there was no adultery, it would eventually become true. If something really happened between her and Childe Shen, then the fate of being abandoned would be waiting for her.
Unfortunately … she had miscalculated her relationship with Childe Shen.
Zhang Mi laughed and said, "Peach blossoms have come knocking on your door. Do you want to accept them?"
Hearing her jealous tone, Childe Shen was in a good mood. He pulled her over and said, "I'm afraid it's a soul-sucking peach blossom!"
"Let go of me!" Zhang Mi kicked him. "Don't touch me." She sat opposite Childe Shen and asked him in a bad mood, "Is there a problem with Xu Li?"
Childe Shen touched his chin and said, "They're still investigating. Be careful and don't meet her alone."
"Don't worry. Every time I see her, it's either at the club or at the coffee shop. She doesn't have a chance to do anything."
A few days later, Zhang Mi went to the club to work out. As usual, Xu Li treated her to coffee.
"How have you been recently?"
Zhang Mi smiled at her and said, "Of course."
Xu Li hesitated for a moment and asked, "How's your relationship with your husband?"
"Very good." Zhang Mi was still smiling. "Why are you suddenly concerned about my married life?"
Xu Li also smiled and revealed an envious expression. "Sigh! I don't have the fortune. Of course, I hope you're living well. It seems that your husband is very rich. Aren't you worried at all? "
"What's there to worry about?" Zhang Mi took a sip of coffee. "The sky is going to rain, and the mother is going to get married. No one can stop a man from having a change of heart. "
When Xu Li heard her say that, her expression suddenly became serious. "I'm telling you! You'd better be careful. Men! You have to be careful. Otherwise, you'll make mistakes. My friends check their husbands' clothes, phones, and even cars every day when they go home. You have to let the man know that you're watching him at all times. "When Zhang Mi didn't say anything, she said," Haven't you checked your husband's clothes recently? "
"Why would I check his clothes?" Zhang Mi snorted. "If he really did something, he would've dealt with it himself. Why would he bring it home?"
When Xu Li heard that, she frowned and didn't say anything. Zhang Mi looked at her in amusement. "Why are you so worried? Did you see my husband with another woman outside?"
"No!" Xu Li glared at her. "If I really saw it, I would've taken a photo immediately as evidence!"
Zhang Mi raised her coffee cup. "Then I'll thank you in advance!"
At night, Childe Shen came to pick Zhang Mi up. When Xu Li saw him, she suddenly said embarrassedly, "Mr. Shen … I … I have something to ask, but I'm not sure if I can ask you."
"What can't you ask?" Childe Shen and Zhang Mi looked at each other. Zhang Mi deliberately held his arm affectionately and said, "Xu Li, you don't have to be so polite. If you have something to say, just say it!"
"That … that day when you sent me home, I accidentally left my lipstick in your car …" Xu Li said carefully. Her eyes were fixed on Zhang Mi. When she saw her frown, she quickly said, "Zhang Mi, don't misunderstand! That day, I was playing at the bar. Mr. Shen helped me out and sent me home. "
"Oh?" Zhang Mi stared at Childe Shen exaggeratedly. "Why haven't I heard you mention it before?"
Before Childe Shen could speak, Xu Li said, "I think he was afraid that you would misunderstand. I reminded you so much just now because I wanted to tell you about it." After saying that, she blushed and looked at Childe Shen shyly.
Zhang Mi laughed and said, "You reminded me to keep an eye on my husband and be careful that he doesn't have another woman outside. That's different from him helping you, okay? "
"Ah!" Xu Li probably didn't expect Zhang Mi to say that. She panicked for a moment. In the end, she looked at Childe Shen. Her eyes were wet and she looked like she was about to cry.
Young Master Shen did not even look at her. He opened the car door for Zhang Mi thoughtfully. Then, he placed a hand on top of Zhang Mi's head to prevent her from getting into the car. "Let's go. Aunt Tian prepared hotpot at home today!"
Zhang Mi got into the car. She rolled down the window and handed Xu Li a lipstick. "Be careful in the future!" After saying that, she waved her hand and the two of them drove away. Xu Li held the lipstick for a long time and didn't come back to her senses. In the end, she stomped her feet and left.
Xin Qing had been picky recently, but she didn't show any symptoms of morning sickness. Ying Qingcang was very happy, so he made her whatever she wanted to eat. Zhang Mi and Childe Shen came every night for dinner. They could basically eat anything that could be eaten on Earth.
"That Xu Li really has a problem!" Xin Qing listened to Zhang Mi and said, "Obviously, she's targeting you and Childe Shen!"
Ying Qingcang picked up a piece of matsutake for her. "Don't think when you eat. It's bad for your digestion."
"Only pigs don't think when they eat!" Xin Qing rolled her eyes at him. "Didn't you investigate? How could that woman take advantage of a loophole? "
"If her target was you, I would have done it long ago. Why would I care if she has a problem?" Ying Qingcang glanced at Childe Shen. Seeing that he was still fighting with Zhang Mi for an abalone, he said angrily, "What are you going to do?"
"Nothing." Childe Shen threw the abalone into his mouth. "Wait until my people find out. I really want to know why she approached me."
Zhang Mi glared at him resentfully because she didn't get the abalone. "See, she's targeting you. I was implicated!"
"Good girl!" Childe Shen put the half-eaten abalone into her bowl. "This is a test of our relationship!"
"Bah! Who has feelings for you? " Zhang Mi spat out the abalone she had just eaten. Initially, it was not a big deal. Most of the abalone had landed on the table. Unexpectedly, Xin Qing saw it. She covered her mouth, pushed away from the table, and ran towards the bathroom.
"Slow down! Slow down!" Ying Qingcang was scared out of his wits. He caught up with her in a few steps. Xin Qing threw up all over the place. When she was finally done, Ying Qingcang carried her out of the room. Just as he set her down on the dining table, Xin Qing let out a gasp and threw up again. This time, there was nothing. She could only retch.
The few of them were busy pouring water and milk for a long time. Auntie Tian and Uncle Fu quickly removed the hotpot on the table and opened all the windows for ventilation. After a while, Xin Qing finally calmed down. She covered her chest and leaned into Ying Qingcang's arms.
"Sob, sob, sob … I feel so bad." She grabbed Ying Qingcang's clothes, tears welling up in her eyes. Ying Qingcang looked at her pale face and teary eyes. His heart ached for her, but he did not know what to do. All he could do was hold her in his arms and slowly stroke her back to comfort her. "Alright, alright! Let's stop eating and smelling. Let's go to the hospital tomorrow morning. There should be some way to stop vomiting. "
With this ignorant thought, they went to the hospital. When they came back, Xin Qing's face was even paler, and her eyebrows were tightly knitted. Ying Qingcang's face was also dark. The doctor said there was no way. It was normal to be shy. Some people's reactions were small, but some people's reactions were big. For example, Xin Qing basically vomited everything she ate. They could only wait until she was a little older, and the symptoms of morning sickness would gradually disappear.
From that day onwards, Xin Qing's fair and plump body, which she had painstakingly put on, slowly lost weight. She could not eat anything every day. Ying Qingcang bought her almost all the hotels and restaurants in S City. He even bought roadside snacks, but she still vomited. It could be said that the only thing Xin Qing didn't vomit now was drinking water. Seeing that she was getting thinner and thinner, Ying Qingcang's mood became more and more unstable. One day, during a meeting with Ding Lei, Ding Lei looked at him helplessly and said.
"You'd better go home. You'll scare people to death like this. Qianqian has already heard about it. I'll send her to see Xin Qing tomorrow."
