Through the comfortable material of the dress, Shen Qianqian felt a lump of something hard and slightly painful to the touch.
What is this? Why does it feel so hard?
Shen Qianqian frowned and quickly took out the item from her pocket.
A four-leaf clover diamond bracelet suddenly appeared in front of her eyes. Even with the dim light from the roadside, she could clearly see the dazzling light emitted by the bracelet.
Shen Qianqian's heart suddenly ached. She knew who put it in.
It was as if a movie was playing in her mind. She replayed the moment when Gu Hecheng helped her up. He was probably the one who put it in at that time.
Shen Qianqian laid the bracelet flat on her hand. Her eyes shone with an unknown light.
She still remembered that not long after they got married, she went out with Gu Hecheng. She stood in front of the jewelry store and looked at the four-leaf clover bracelet. She looked at him innocently and sweetly and said, "Hecheng, buy this for me."
"A four-leaf clover represents luck. Don't you think it's romantic to hold your sweetheart's hand with a bracelet from your sweetheart?"
Shen Qianqian's hopeful eyes dimmed for the first time under Gu Hecheng's cold expression. Sadness, disappointment, and the truth started to come one after another.
Gradually, Shen Qianqian's original anticipation had turned into disinterest in these things.
Shen Qianqian sneered and held the bracelet tightly in her hand. Even though her palm hurt, she refused to let go.
The car stopped in front of the apartment building. Shen Qianqian looked up and saw that the lights were still on in the room. She thanked the driver and hurried upstairs.
"Xiao Kong, you're still awake?" Shen Qianqian opened the door and rushed over with a smile. She hugged Xiao Kong.
"Yes, I'm worried about Mom, so I can only sleep when Mom comes back," Xiao Kong looked calm and even a little proud as he crossed his arms and looked at Shen Qianqian.
"Mom, what happened to your clothes?" Xiao Kong was just casually glancing at her, but when he saw that her clothes were dyed wine-red, he became nervous.
"Oh." Shen Qianqian was stunned and quickly explained, "It's nothing. Mom accidentally spilled the wine glass and dirtied my clothes."
"Really?" Xiao Kong looked at her doubtfully. His eyes carried a kind of determination and maturity that wanted to protect her, which made her a little surprised.
Shen Qianqian reached out and stroked Xiao Kong's hair lovingly. "Of course. Do I look like I'm in trouble? Besides, I went there with your uncle. Who dares to bully me?"
As he spoke, Shen Qianqian took off his suit jacket and said, "It's your uncle's clothes that I dirtied."
"Uncle doesn't despise you." Xiao Kong suddenly showed a sly smile and teased Shen Qianqian. She suddenly realized that his evil smile and occasional indifference were somewhat similar to Mo Yanfan's.
Shen Qianqian was stunned and suddenly said to Xiao Kong seriously, "Xiao Kong, Mom has something to discuss with you."
The room was filled with gentle light. Although Shen Qianqian was not sure if Xiao Kong could understand their efforts, she still told Xiao Kong about Mo Yanfan's plan.
"Xiao Kong, Mom really loves you. Mom can't lose you, but Mom can't let anyone know about your existence. I'm really sorry," Shen Qianqian hugged Xiao Kong in her arms. Her voice was very soft, as if she was afraid of hurting Xiao Kong.
"Mom wants to transfer your household register to Uncle's name. If someone finds out about your existence one day, then you'll be Uncle's adopted son, okay? You must remember these words. "
Shen Qianqian's serious expression made the smart Xiao Kong feel that something was wrong.
"Of course, don't worry. Mom will always be by your side and take care of you."
"This is also the reason why I want to adopt you under your Uncle's name." Shen Qianqian supported Xiao Kong and forced a smile. "This is the only way that no one can separate us, okay?"
After hearing Shen Qianqian's words, Xiao Kong fell into a short silence.
Shen Qianqian saw Xiao Kong's handsome eyebrows knitted together and immediately felt sorry for him. She hugged Xiao Kong regretfully and said, "Xiao Kong, forget it. Mom was wrong. Mom won't say such things again …"
"I'm willing."
Xiao Kong's voice was very firm, which formed a sharp contrast with Shen Qianqian's trembling voice.
"What did you say?" Shen Qianqian was stunned for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure. Tears immediately filled her eyes.
"As long as I'm not separated from Mom, I'm willing to be Uncle's adopted son." Xiao Kong looked very determined. His firm look and dark eyes gave Shen Qianqian an illusion for a moment, as if she saw Gu Hecheng in his eyes.
Shen Qianqian lowered her eyes and smiled unnaturally. Then she wiped her tears and stood up. "Okay, Xiao Kong, thank you."
Shen Qianqian gently hugged Xiao Kong in her arms. She hugged Xiao Kong for a long time before she coaxed him to sleep.
In the quiet bedroom, Xiao Kong was already asleep. Only the bedside lamp was still lit in the room.
Before Shen Qianqian went to bed, she took out the bracelet Gu Hecheng put in her clothes and looked at it. Finally, she put it into her bag with a cold and resolute look.
Shen Qianqian and Xiao Kong slept peacefully that night, but Gu Hecheng and Lin Jinya were not so peaceful that night.
Since the incident at the birthday party, Gu Hecheng had not been nice to Lin Jinya. Even when they arrived at the door of the villa, he did not say a word to her.
Lin Jinya knew that she was guilty. She looked at Gu Hecheng's face carefully along the way. Seeing that he really did not want to talk to her, she hurriedly grabbed Gu Hecheng and apologized sincerely. "Hecheng, don't treat me like this. I told you that I really did nothing tonight."
"It's all Shen Qianqian's fault. She did it. She tore off the tablecloth. She also pulled my hand and threw the wine glass out. You really have to believe me." Lin Jinya said agitatedly and felt wronged. After all, she really did not do these things.
Seeing that Gu Hecheng was still looking at her with an indifferent expression, Lin Jinya said anxiously, "Hecheng, have you forgotten that she stabbed me with a knife? She only looked like a victim on the surface. I was the one who was really hurt!"
Speaking of that incident, Gu Hecheng's mind seemed to have been hit by something. He frowned and looked at Lin Jinya carefully. The doubts and guesses that he had almost forgotten all emerged at this moment.
After a long while, Gu Hecheng finally spoke. His tone was as cold as ice. "Let's not talk about this for now. You were the one who provoked Shen Qianqian first."
"No, it really wasn't me. She came to look for me!" Lin Jinya almost did not know what she was saying. In short, she had to push all the blame to Shen Qianqian.
"Enough!" Gu Hecheng interrupted her angrily. "If you still don't want to tell the truth, then we don't have anything to talk about between us!"
Of course, Gu Hecheng knew that Shen Qianqian was avoiding them and him, so he believed that Shen Qianqian would never take the initiative to provoke Lin Jinya.
"You …" Gu Hecheng's firm gaze made Lin Jinya waver a little. "Did you see it all?"
Her simple words immediately made Gu Hecheng frown unhappily and impatiently. He knew it!
"Why did you look for Shen Qianqian?" Gu Hecheng stared sharply at Lin Jinya and asked.
"I …" Lin Jinya seemed to have nothing to lose. Anyway, she was really wronged today. "I just don't like Shen Qianqian, so I deliberately told her about our engagement! What do you think? Is there a problem? "
"You!" Gu Hecheng gritted his teeth and suddenly grabbed Lin Jinya's wrist and pulled her in front of him.
Looking at her teary and bitter eyes, Gu Hecheng regretted that he had agreed to her coercion.
Gu Hecheng thought for a while and pushed her hand away fiercely. Compared to regret, he seemed to be more uneasy and irritable now. He did not know what Shen Qianqian would think after hearing such words.
"You really disappointed me today. I need to think about the engagement again." Gu Hecheng was a little confused and was about to push the door open, but Lin Jinya was stunned when she heard these words.
She grabbed Gu Hecheng's hand and anxiously apologized to him.
"Okay, okay, Hecheng, I'm wrong. It's all my fault today. I promise I won't do it again. I won't make trouble for Qianqian again, okay?" Lin Jinya grabbed Gu Hecheng's hand and shook it coquettishly. "I've already apologized to you. Please forgive me. About the engagement, let's go ahead with the original plan, okay …"
Before Lin Jinya finished her words, Gu Hecheng had already silently pulled his hand away and did not want to look at Lin Jinya. "I'm tired. I'm going back to rest."
"Hecheng, don't do this to me. It's really my fault today. I won't do it again." Lin Jinya suddenly hugged Gu Hecheng tightly from behind and stained his clothes with her tears. She sobbed and whimpered, "Hecheng, look at me properly. When have I ever begged you like this in the past? I've become like this because of you. It's all because I love you."
Gu Hecheng closed his eyes and did not hear what he said after that. She did not know what he said. She only knew that when she was tired, he slowly opened his eyes and pried her hand away forcefully. He turned around and glanced at her. "You're really tired today. Get some rest first."
Gu Hecheng pushed the door open firmly and then closed it tightly. He did not care that Lin Jinya was still standing outside the door with a look of expectation and directly locked the door.
