"Second brother, Xiaotang, what's wrong with you two? Why are you arguing? You know, a woman is very sensitive when she's pregnant. We must not... Xiaotang, why are you still crying?"

Sister-in-law Liu Fang had been busy all day and finally finished her work at night, dragging her tired body.

When she hurriedly passed by the door of Zhou Xingze's room, although the door was closed, the intermittent quarreling sounds coming through the glass still reached her ears clearly.

Liu Fang's heart skipped a beat and she thought to herself, "Oh no! Could something big have happened?"

She was extremely anxious and didn't care about the etiquette and rules. She reached out, pushed the door open, and rushed in.

As soon as she entered the room, Liu Fang saw Xiaotang sitting alone on the edge of the bed. Her delicate body was trembling slightly, and crystal tears were falling from her eyes like pearls that had broken off the string, dripping onto the ground in front of her.

The second brother Zhou Xingze was half-crouching beside Xiaotang's knees. His usually broad and powerful hands were now tightly covering the backs of Xiaotang's two fair and delicate hands, as if he wanted to give her some comfort in this way.

Seeing this, Liu Fang became more and more anxious. She first looked at Xiaotang with concern. Seeing her crying so sadly, she felt so distressed.

Then he quickly turned his gaze to Zhou Xingze, frowning tightly, thinking to himself: "This second brother is so ignorant! Xiaotang is pregnant now, and her emotions are easily fluctuating. Not only does he not know how to be considerate and tolerant, but he actually takes it so seriously with her and makes a big deal out of it. He really needs to be taught a lesson!"

Thinking of this, Liu Fang couldn't help but cough lightly and said, "Second brother, stand up first. Sister Xiaotang needs to have a good rest now, let's talk slowly."

As she spoke, she walked forward and gently patted Xiaotang's shoulder to comfort her.

"Second brother, Xiaotang is pregnant now. Her mood directly determines the health of the baby in her belly. You can't be too serious with her about everything!"

Zhou Xingze felt extremely aggrieved and wronged, as if he had become the protagonist of a huge injustice.

He managed to force out a smile that was uglier than crying, mumbling, "I was wrong, I really shouldn't have done that..."

Then he straightened up slowly and carefully, like a criminal who had committed a serious crime and was awaiting trial.

Then, Zhou Xingze reached out and pulled over a chair, gently pushed it in front of his sister-in-law, and motioned for her to sit down.

At this moment, Ruan Xiaotang slowly raised her little face, which was wet with tears.

That little face was like a delicate flower ravaged by wind and rain, covered with crystal clear tears, each of which sparkled with a heartbreaking light.

She looked so aggrieved and pitiful at this moment that people couldn't help but want to hold her in their arms and comfort her.

Ruan Xiaotang's originally bright and moving eyes had now become tearful, as if the whole world was blurry in front of her eyes.

She sobbed and her body trembled from time to time. She seemed to have difficulty breathing. She spoke to her sister-in-law in a choked voice, "Sister-in-law...we really...really didn't have a quarrel...please don't...don't wrongly accuse Xingze..."

After saying this, Ruan Xiaotang seemed to remember something sad, and tears burst out again like a flood.

Hearing Ruan Xiaotang's words, the sister-in-law couldn't help but widen her eyes, her face full of suspicion.

She thought to herself, "No quarrel? How is that possible? If there was no quarrel, why would this girl cry so heartbrokenly, just like a tearful person! There must be some hidden reason behind this."

Thinking of this, the sister-in-law quickly turned her head and cast a suspicious look at Zhou Xingze who had been standing silently beside her.

Then, she asked in a questioning tone, "If you two really didn't have a fight, then why is Xiaotang crying like this?"

Zhou Xingze first looked at the bewildered person in front of him - his sister-in-law, and then shifted his gaze to Ruan Xiaotang who was sitting on the bed and crying.

He thought, since there were no other outsiders present, he might as well just tell the whole story. Thinking of this, Zhou Xingze took a deep breath and decided to get straight to the point without hiding anything.

Said, "Xiaotang and I are discussing your matter, sister-in-law..."

"I...what's the matter?

My sister-in-law would never believe it.

She will be the fuse of the conflict between them.

He looked at Ruan Xiaotang opposite him with a puzzled look.

He asked her with a straightforward look.

Ruan Xiaotang slowly lifted the sleeve of her slightly thick cotton coat and gently wiped her cheeks that had already been soaked with tears.

Her movements were trembling, as if every touch would deepen the pain in her heart.

Between sobs, she took a few deep breaths from time to time, trying to calm the emotions surging in her heart.

However, the tears that kept rolling down were like pearls that had broken off the string and could not be stopped.

After a long while, Ruan Xiaotang finally calmed down a little.

She knew that no matter how she tried to avoid it, the window paper between them would be broken sooner or later.

In this case, instead of continuing to procrastinate, it is better to face it all bravely today.

Thinking of this, she bit her lips tightly, secretly encouraged herself, and then took a step forward resolutely.
