Ruan Qi saw that it was a message from Xi Tong asking her where she was.
The two of them werenât close, so Ruan Qi wondered what Xi Tong was up to
when she suddenly texted her.
âIâm resting. Havenât been feeling well.â
âI see. You poor thing.â
âWhy poor thing?â
âIs your boyfriend by your side to take care of you since youâre unwell?â
Ruan Qi was puzzled. âWhat has this got to do with my boyfriend?â
âBut of course. Youâre not feeling well. A boyfriend who doesnât take care of you when youâre sick is a scumbag!â
Ruan Qi did not like people scolding her husband. âWatch your mouth. Donât spout nonsense when you donât know anything.
âIâm not spouting nonsense. I saw it with my own eyes. Ruan Qi, youâre still in the dark, arenât you? Your boyfriend looks human but heâs actually something else behind your back.â
Ruan Qi wanted to type a reply that called Xi Tong a b*tch!
But Xi Tongâs fingers were faster. She sent Ruan Qi five or six photos. In the photos, Song Zhou was talking and laughing with another woman in a mall.
She frowned as she scrolled to the bottom. There was a message, âRuan Qi, I saw your boyfriend with another woman.â
âRuan Qi, Iâm only telling you this out of kindness. Your boyfriend is cheating on you with another woman. Donât let him get away with this. The worst thing that can happen is a break-up.â
Xi Tong seemed to be doing this for Ruan Qiâs benefit, but she was inciting her to break up with her husband.
Ruan Qi looked at the photos with her fists clenched.
Song Zhou actually went shopping with another woman behind her back!
She ignored Xi Tong and called Song Zhou but the call didnât get through.
She got worried. The last time she couldnât get through to his phone, he disappeared.
She went upstairs to the study to find Jiang Jingchen.
Jiang Jingchen heard that she couldnât get hold of Song Zhou, so he dialed Song
Zhouâs number. His call went through.
It was a little noisy on the other end of the call. He could barely hear Song Zhou tell him that he was dealing with something at a bar and would be home later.
Song Zhou asked Jiang Jingchen if he had any orders.
Jiang Jingchen looked at Ruan Qi. âYour wife is looking for you. She couldnât get
hold of you and came to me.â
As soon as he finished speaking, Song Zhou hung up.
Ruan Qi watched Jiang Jingchen put down his phone and asked anxiously, âWhy
did he hang up? Did he do something wrong?â
Jiang Jingchen stared at her and chuckled. âIf you donât trust your man now, there will be countless surprises waiting for you in the years to come. Donât you
feel tired?â
Ruan Qi was stunned by his question. She pursed her lips, feeling a little guilty.
Jiang Jingchen turned his eyes back to his laptop and said, âYouâre already married to him. Itâs okay to feel jealous occasionally, but Iâd advise you not to doubt him. Itâs quite sad if you doubt a man whoâs willing to give up his life for
you.â
âI, Iâm not doubting him. Iâm justâ¦â
Ruan Qi tried to explain herself, but she panicked the moment she saw those photos.
She felt very insecure deep down inside after she watched her parents marriage fall apart.
When she followed her mother to her new home, people always said that she
was a burden.
Now that she was starting her own family, those shadows of doubt would creep up from time to time, making her afraid.
Would she become someoneâs burden again?
âYou doubt Song Zhou using your own assumptions, huh?
Ruan Qi was rendered speechless. She lowered her head and felt helpless.
When Young Master Jiang taught someone a lesson, he never scolded or screamed at people. He would just say a few casual words that would make people feel as if they had been stabbed in the heart, painful as hell.
Jiang Jingchen looked up at her. âSong Zhou has been with me for so many years. He stayed away from women when he was engaged to Mi Qing and only accepted you after Mi Qing got a serious boyfriend.â
âIf heâs a player. Do you think youâll become his wife? You wonât make it.â
Young Master Jiangâs last sentence was unpleasant to the ear but it spoke the truth.
Song Zhouâs personal qualities werenât bad. If he really wanted to be a player, countless women would climb into his bed willingly.
Ruan Qi felt so ashamed that she wanted to find a hole to hide in.
At this moment, her phone rang, giving her a way out.
She looked down and saw that it was a call from Song Zhou.
She answered the call and heard that it was less noisy on the other end. Song Zhou was still panting when he said, âRuan Qi, whatâs the matter? Are you feeling unwell? Donât worry, okay? Iâll be back in half an hour. What would you like to eat? Iâll buy some back for you.â
Ruan Qi wiped her tears away in shame. âNothing. I just missed you.
âI miss you too. Iâll be home as soon as possible.
-Be good. Have a snack and catch up on your TV series. Didnât they release more episodes for the series you are watching? If youâre unhappy, weâll talk about it when I get home.â
Ruan Qi mumbled a few yeses and asked him to go back to work. She would watch her TV series.
After hanging up the phone, Ruan Qi said to Jiang Jingchen, âI wonât think such silly thoughts in future.â
Jiang Jingchenâs handsome face was filled with indifference. âWhat you think
has nothing to do with me.â
Ruan Qi was stumped. Young Master Jiang could always strike someone in the heart with just one sentence, no holds barred.
At the bar, Song Zhou rushed to the toilet to call Ruan Qi. After Ruan Qi hung up the phone, he came out and urged Ji Er to hurry up.
Ji Er had already met Ma Baomu. The two of them were talking. Ji Er had a few drinks and held her forehead. She said that she was a little drunk and asked Ma Baomu to help her back to her hotel to rest.
âTo your hotel?â
Ma Baomu smiled maliciously and immediately held her arm. âOkay, Iâll send
you back.â
âWhere is your hotel?â
âIâll call my driver. I donât live far. Thankyou for taking the trouble, little big brother Baomu.â
Hearing her call him little big brother Baomu, Ma Baomuâs bones almost turned soft.
Ji Er was getting her phone to call her driver when a condom fell out of her bag.
Ma Baomuâs eyes lit up when he saw that. He was even more impatient now and started groping her waist.
Ji Er trained all year round, and her figure was as good as a Victoriaâs Secret Angelâs.
But Ji Er had to endure her disgust. She smiled, stuffed the condom back into her pocket and winked flirtatiously at him.
The two of them walked out of the bar and got into Song Zhouâs car.
Song Zhou, who was in the driverâs seat, was wearing a mask and a suit. Ma Baomuâs attention was on the woman, so he couldnât care less about the driver upfront.
But the car didnât go to a hotel but to the suburbs.
Half an hour later, Song Zhou returned to the villa.
He drove in and saw a woman sitting at the door with two dogs at her feet.
Before he could bring the car into the garage, he stopped the car, got out and walk quickly to the woman.
âBabe, itâs cold at night. Why are you sitting here?â
Ruan Qi cupped his face and kissed his cheek. âYes, itâs a little cold, but I feel warm after kissing you.â
Song Zhou chuckled. It was rare for her to act coquettishly, so he carried her back into the house. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
He put her on the sofa, covered her with a thin blanket, and rubbed her slightly cold palms.
âAre you unhappy about something? Talk to me about it?
Ruan Qi shook her head. âIâm not unhappy. Iâm just bored alone.â
She didnât like to read and she couldnât dance. Watching TV was even more boring, so she just waited for him to come home.
Song Zhou understood her mood. Since she didnât want to tell him, he wouldnât force her. He warmed her hands and asked, âAre you hungry? Iâll eat something with you.â
Ruan Qi laughed in frustration. âAre you feeding me again, Mr. Song? I suspect that you just want to fatten me up so you canât carry me anymore and wonât want to touch me.â
Song Zhou laughed and pinched her face. âYouâre thinking too much. If youâre so capable, why donât you get to 200 or 250 kg and see if I can carry you?â
Ruan Qi shuddered at the thought of her weighing 200 to 250 kg.
âThat must be a nightmare!â
Song Zhou laughed but still took her to eat something. She would lose weight when her morning sickness came, so she should nourish herself now.
After a snack, he watched TV with her and checked the situation at the Ruan residence on his phone.
Ma Baomu was already under control; he just had to wait for the Ma family to be in trouble. But Ruan Xue bullied his wife for the sake of Ruan Haoâs career. It was also time to teach her a lesson.
Even if he couldnât make her kneel and beg for mercy, he would make her regret it!
