Su ng wiped her tears, calmly looking at him, her eyes clear: "Did you hear all of that?"
So things she had spoken to Li Si about, but there was one very important thing she hadn’t ntioned.
Because she still wasn’t sure!
"I heard everything! I heard your fear, grievance, and regret! But why didn’t you say a single word to ? Instead, you confided in Li Si!
Am I so insignificant in your heart? So worthless? Do you think I have no ability to solve problems?" Long Wu held her shoulders in disappointnt and questioned her, attempting to cover up his inner panic.
Su ng stared at him directly: "I told you! Tell you, and what would you do? That’s your mother! What am I? Just a baby-making machine!"
Long Wu frowned: "ng ng, how could you think that way! As for the old lady, I didn’t know the situation either. If you had told earlier, wouldn’t I have dealt with it?
After we got together, wasn’t I the one who took care of the old lady’s side? Grandpa and Dad are also very satisfied with you! You really are just like Li Si said, overthinking everything!
Who takes a baby-making machine, formally marries her, and brings her ho? Alright, stop making a fuss, okay? Don’t worry, I’ll handle everything about the old lady and your mom. I promise to settle it to your satisfaction, alright?
You’re carrying our son now! Thinking so much and stressing isn’t good for you!"
As Long Wu spoke, he reached out to hold Su ng, but she imdiately flung his hand away.
"Do you think I’m making a fuss? Have you even bothered to care about what I’ve been thinking lately?
Do you think I can’t sll the scent of perfu on your clothes when you co ho?"
Long Wu completely panicked: "ng ng! You’ve misunderstood! They were just won hanging around my buddies, it was all a joke! I can find soone to testify for !
Leng Er! No, wait, Wang Si can vouch for , I was drinking with him at the bar!"
He admitted that ever since Su ng beca pregnant, he had started going to bars again.
But he swore to the heavens, he really didn’t do anything inappropriate — there was just one woman who suited his tastes, and it was a tiny bit flirtatious, that’s all.
"You’re feeling guilty, aren’t you? After knowing you for so many years, I know your little habits!"
Su ng slowly closed her eyes. If the earlier matters had been a level-three pain for her, then this was level ten—her heart felt like it wasn’t even hers anymore!
She should have realized it long ago. Recently, he had been going out early and coming back late, saying he was helping Leng Er with sothing at the Antique City.
But just days ago, Leng Er wasn’t even in Beijing—he’d gone to North City with Li Si to relocate graves.
So that night when Long Wu ca back in the middle of the night, there was no need to wonder about the perfu scent anymore.
Back then, she had willingly chosen this path, so now that this day had co, she couldn’t bla anyone else!
She could only bla herself for being too naive!
She thought after going through so much, Long Wu would surely cherish the hard-earned love between the two of them!
It turned out everything was just an illusion she had constructed for herself!
"ng ng! Don’t scare ! What’s wrong? ng ng..." Long Wu was genuinely frightened; Su ng’s face was pale as paper, completely devoid of color!
When Su ng opened her eyes again, they were deep and resolute. She gently ran her palm over her round belly—she had a child, she couldn’t afford to be selfish!
She had to carry on! No matter how rugged the road ahead would be, at least she still had her baby, didn’t she?
"ng ng! Listen to ..." Long Wu’s words were interrupted when Su ng pressed her hand against his mouth.
"Wensong! You don’t need to say anything else. I believe you!"
"You believe ? That’s good! I swear to the heavens, I really haven’t done anything wrong!" Long Wu raised his hand, feeling helpless panic.
This version of Su ng terrified him; he felt that sothing had just shifted irrevocably.
Su ng gave a faint smile: "But for now, I don’t want to see your mother and that nutritionist in this house. I don’t like the nanny either—you should send them all away!"
Long Wu hurriedly nodded: "Alright! Alright! I’ll agree to everything you say, as long as you’re okay! I won’t go out to play anymore, I’ll stay by your side every day, alright?"
"Fine! Send my mom away too—she can co back when it’s ti for to give birth."
Right now, she didn’t want to face anyone—she was too tired and just wanted peace and quiet.
Long Wu hesitated for a second: "Alright! I’ll do as you wish!"
When Li Si was chatting with Mrs. Su in the living room for a while longer, Long Wu finally helped Su ng slowly co downstairs.
Aside from her slightly pale complexion, Su ng looked pretty normal!
Long Wu guarded her anxiously, and Li Si felt a slight sense of relief.
She thought she’d have to find an opportunity to talk to Leng Mochen, maybe he could persuade Long Wu. Su ng was going through so much now—he had to treasure her!
Mrs. Su had also been consoled by Li Si for a while and ca around to the idea that her daughter’s health and happiness were always the most important thing.
From now on, she wouldn’t try to compete with Su ng’s mother-in-law. Everyone loves their own children!
She couldn’t afford to let others ridicule her, and it made Su ng unhappy on top of that.
After chatting with Li Si for a while longer, Su ng asked her to head ho.
Just then, Leng Ning called and invited her to a hotel for dinner.
She ntioned that Jin Jiachao had brought Zhuang Liqun’s family and Jin Yichen’s uncle’s family to Beijing—Leng Ning went to pick them up from the airport and specifically wanted to see her.
Li Si figured eting them wouldn’t hurt. Besides, this person was even a classmate of her father.
From Leng Ning’s perspective, it wouldn’t be inappropriate for her to go.
When Li Si arrived at the hotel and pushed open the private dining room’s door, she saw a spacious room with a large round table surrounded by people.
Upon seeing Li Si enter, Jin Jiachao stood up with a smile and greeted her.
"Sisi! You’re here!"
"Sis-in-law! Sit next to !"
Leng Ning was even warr, pulling her to sit between her and Jin Yichen.
Through the introductions, Li Si t Zhuang Liqun. If you compared appearances, he didn’t resemble their father as much as Jin Jiai did.
Perhaps his looks were a blend of Jin Jiai and that Chen Songxi.
Moreover, being middle-aged, his hairline was slightly receding.
Yet, he had bright, steady eyes.
Upon seeing Li Si, his eyes lit up: "Li Guoqiang’s daughter truly is beautiful!"
He went on to reminisce: "Your father used to dominate the school as an unbeatable table tennis player! I wasn’t bad myself, but he still bested !
If it hadn’t been for that bet, I might’ve gone to my grave without knowing I had such a complicated lineage!"
Afterwards, he sighed, "At least I’m alive—it’s a kind of fate, isn’t it?"
Li Si replied gently, "Yes, it’s destiny."
Zhuang Liqun’s wife, Li Shuhua, seed like a woman of excellent temperant.
Their son, Zhuang Yuxiang, looked around 18 years old—tall, with delicate features, though he had acne across his face. Apparently, he was still in high school and currently on sumr break.
He seed a bit shy but was clearly well-mannered.
As introductions continued, Li Si couldn’t help but want to facepalm. (To be continued. If you enjoyed this story, please visit Qidian (qidian) to vote for recomndations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation! Mobile users, please visit m.qidian to read.)
