Chapter 184 Xiao Jie, you have to sleep with me tonight.

Shen Minghui patted her back, "It'll be better if you cry it out!"

After crying, Shi Jingman felt much better, and Shen Minghui kept handing her tissues.

Seeing that Shi Jingman had calmed down, Shen Minghui finally asked the question he had been holding back for so long, "Wife, you won't divorce me, will you?"

Shi Jingman glanced at him sideways, "You want a divorce? Dream on! Do you think I'm too old and unattractive?"

Shen Minghui relaxed and hugged Shi Jingman. "You're not old at all. You're as young and beautiful as before. I can't get enough of you. How could I possibly dislike you?"

Shi Jingman rested her head on Shen Minghui's shoulder, "Honey, thank you!"

"Thank me for what?" Shen Minghui asked, puzzled.

"Thank you for helping me during my most difficult time. Thank you for treating Rou Rou like your own daughter. Thank you for being so understanding and loving."

Shen Minghui tightened his arms. "Wife, don't talk to me like that. I'm a little scared. It's like you're saying goodbye to me."

“It’s a farewell, but not to you,” Shi Jingman paused, “I’m saying goodbye to Chu Weize in my heart.”

"He has been dead for more than 20 years, and he remains a thorn in my side, causing me pain from time to time when I recall the past."

"I never imagined that he would be alive and well, while I was suffering, he was enjoying himself in the arms of the eldest daughter of the Qi family!"

"Hmph!" Shi Jingman became angrier as she spoke. "It's infuriating and hateful. The thing I'm most grateful for now is that I didn't have to be a widow for him, otherwise I would be even worse off than Wang Baochuan!"

"Now it's all right. I can completely remove him from my heart. I have no regrets and I don't have to feel pain anymore."

Shen Minghui excitedly kissed Shi Jingman's forehead, "Thank goodness you didn't pull me out of your heart."

Shi Jingman glared at him. "You've taken root in my heart. If I try to uproot you, my heart will have to go with you."

"Wife!" Shi Jingman's words were the most beautiful love confession Shen Minghui had ever heard in his life. "Although it's cheesy, I still have to say it: I will only love you in this life."

Shi Jingman sat up from Shen Minghui's arms and looked at the man in front of her. Perhaps this was fate's arrangement.

She loved two men in her life. After Chu Weize left a deep mark on her life, he disappeared without a trace.

When she was most helpless, Shen Minghui took her hand, led her out of her predicament and confusion, and will accompany her for the rest of her life.

She stroked Shen Minghui's face. His temples were already gray, and there were wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, but it did not diminish his charm at all; he was mature and refined.

If he wanted to, he would certainly have no shortage of women around him, but he didn't. He lived a monotonous life, going home on time after get off work. Even if he had social engagements, he would report his progress to her every half hour.

Everyone laughed at him for being henpecked, but she knew he just wanted her to feel safe.

This time, she will make him feel safe too.

She kissed Shen Minghui and said with a smile, "Honey, let's go home!"

“How can that be? You’ve vomited blood. You need to get a proper check-up tomorrow,” Shen Minghui said disapprovingly.

"I was so angry that I spat out. It was probably blood stasis that had been accumulating for over twenty years. Just think of it as me spitting out Chu Weize completely. I felt much better after spitting it out," Shi Jingman said jokingly.

Seeing that she seemed to be in good spirits, Shen Minghui said, "Then you wait in the ward while I go ask the doctor about her condition."

Shen Minghui went to the doctor to inquire about Shi Jingman's condition and learned that it wasn't serious and she didn't need to be hospitalized. He then got some medication and took Shi Jingman home.

When Shi Jingman got home, she took a shower, hoping to wash away all the bad luck from the past and forget the happy and unhappy memories.

She leaned against the headboard for a long time, pondering, and then sent a message to Chu Rou.

[Rou Rou, Mom has been discharged from the hospital and gone home. I think we should talk about your father's matter face-to-face. Let's arrange a time to meet him tomorrow, somewhere outside. Your Uncle Chen and I will go together.]

Chu Rou frowned when she received Shi Jingman's message; she hadn't expected her mother to be discharged from the hospital.

She first inquired about her mother's health condition and learned that the doctor had agreed to discharge her, so she didn't say anything.

Chu Rou glanced at Qi Wende, who was applying an ice pack to his face, then looked down and continued texting Shi Jingman: "I'll book the location. I'll send it to you once it's booked. You should get some rest. See you tomorrow."

Chu Rou put down her phone, walked over and sat down next to Qi Wende, resting her chin on her hand as she looked at him. "Mom was ruthless."

Qi Wende glanced at her and said coldly, "Are you laughing at your father?"

“No,” Chu Rou sighed, “Mom just messaged me. She wants to have a serious talk with you tomorrow, and Uncle Shen will be there too.”

Qi Wende froze, somewhat incredulous. "Your mother still wants to talk to me? I thought she wouldn't want to see me again."

Chu Rou thought to herself: You seem to know my mother quite well. I guess she'll cut ties with you completely after this conversation.

She didn't say it aloud, afraid that her father wouldn't be able to sleep at night. She decided to talk about it tomorrow.

Qi Wende removed the ice pack from his face, glanced around the house, and asked, "Is this house yours?"

Chu Rou brought Qi Wende back to his home in Longxiangyuan. She nodded and said, "It's in my own name. I bought this house with my first boyfriend."

"First love?" Qi Wende was hearing Chu Rou talk about it for the first time. "Why haven't I heard you mention it before?"

Chu Rou's expression was somewhat unnatural. "We dated for five years, and the breakup wasn't pleasant. I don't want to talk about it, and Mo Chi would get jealous."

"They broke up after five years together," Qi Wende frowned. "Could it be that Mo Chi interfered?"

"Of course not," Chu Rou's small face turned serious. "Even if Mo Chi could do something like that, I would never cheat on him!"

Chu Rou recounted the story of He Wei and He Yin, but she did not mention their names.

After hearing this, Qi Wende slammed his fist on the coffee table. Chu Rou glanced at her coffee table and noticed a crack on the surface.

Where are those two scoundrels now?

Um... Chu Rou hesitated, wondering whether she should tell her father that that scoundrel was about to marry into the Deng family.

Well, He Wei and Deng Qian are getting married soon, so let them have a smooth wedding. Besides, He Wei marrying into the Deng family will have some impact on Mo Yuan and Deng Fei.

As for He Yin, she disappeared without a trace after the boss of Fuqiang Electronics got into trouble and has never appeared again.

“I don’t know where they are either,” Chu Rou shrugged. “Anyway, it’s none of my business anymore. I should thank them, otherwise how would I have run into Mo Chi!”

Qi Wende looked at Chu Rou with suspicion, "Didn't you get to know Mo Chi because of Shen Luo?"

Chu Rou chuckled dryly. She almost let slip that her first meeting with Mo Chi wasn't exactly honorable. "Shen Luo introduced us. Hehe, that brat Shen Luo is quite useful."

At this moment, Shen Luo was holding Qu Jie tightly, saying, "Xiao Jie, you promised me at the hospital that you would sleep with me tonight, you can't go back on your word!"
