Chapter 14 You still hate me, right?

Perhaps because he had successfully made his first move, Shi Huai slept very peacefully after such a long time since his rebirth, and only woke up in a daze in the second half of the night.

It was autumn, and the weather in Changjing was so hot and stuffy that the air conditioner was needed to relieve the heat. Shi Huai woke up with a dry mouth and slowly opened his sleepy eyes to find a drink of water.

As a result, when he stood up, he saw Zhou Jibai sitting beside his bed.

Looking into those dark eyes, Shi Huai couldn't help but exclaimed, "When did you come?"

It seems that Zhou Jibai has been in the house for a long time.

Zhou Jibai saw Shi Huai wake up, his expression still calm and indifferent. He reached out and took the warm water on the bedside table and handed it to Shi Huai.

He thought that Shi Huai must be thirsty after sleeping for such a long time with the constant temperature air conditioner on.

Seeing Zhou Jibai's thoughtful offer of water, Shi Huai pursed his lips uncomfortably, "It's not poisoned, is it?"

Zhou Jibai shook his head meekly, which was unusual for him today: "How could I bear to do that?"

Shi Huai took the cup and drank a few sips of water. Then she immediately leaned over and sniffed Zhou Jibai like a kitten that had smelled a sensitive scent.

Zhou Jibai's Adam's apple bulged at the soft, gentle touch of his wife, and a faint blush crept across his cheeks. Shi Huai's hair gently brushed against his chin and lips, causing him to gradually lose control of his emotions.

"You are in a heavy body now, so you can't have any improper thoughts about me..."

As soon as the words fell, the next moment, Shi Huai distanced himself from him, frowning: "Have you been drinking?"

Zhou Jibai suddenly became like a child who had done something wrong, his eyes evasive and flustered: "Yeah, I drank a little."

At this time in the previous life, Zhou Jibai was drunk and acting crazy with me, blaming me for being reckless and saying bad things about my grandmother outside.

But this time, he did not do anything to let down the Zhou family. Shi Huai did not understand why Zhou Jibai wanted to drink again and sat beside his bed, looking at him lovingly.

She softened her attitude and asked, "Are you still upset that Tang Xiaoling and I got back together?"

Zhou Jibai raised his eyebrows slightly.

Thinking about the performance of Shi Huai and the mother and daughter of the Tang family today, it doesn’t look like they have reconciled.

Zhou Jibai shook his head.

"and you……"

Zhou Jibai's eyes wandered over Shi Huai's innocent and puzzled expression, and his tone was quite solemn, as if he was going to cut open Shi Huai's heart and take out all the secrets hidden in her in the next moment.

"Shi Huai, are you going to hide this from me too?" Zhou Jibai's voice was a little hoarse, and his broken forbearing attitude made Shi Huai a little afraid to look at him.

Shi Huai lowered his eyes and muttered softly: "I'm not hiding anything..."

"You can use me as a support." Perhaps because of the wine, Zhou Jibai's palm was very warm, and he clung to Shi Huai's slightly cool little hand. "This is my responsibility."

The sincere words seemed to burn a hole in Shi Huai's heart.

Shi Huai's eyelashes trembled slightly, she opened her mouth, but hesitated to speak.

Seeing that Shi Huai was silent for a long time, Zhou Jibai also remained silent towards her.

The air was silent for a long while before Zhou Jibai said coldly, "Even if you know the whole truth, you still hate me, right?"

Shi Huai subconsciously held his hand back, clenching it tightly: "No."

Looking up into Zhou Jibai's eyes, Shi Huai could clearly see the traces of tears lingering in his eyes, which were wet, aggrieved, and mixed with all kinds of sad emotions.

"Why else wouldn't you trust me? Trust that our Zhou family will take care of this for you? You don't have to lift a finger. I'll take care of everything for you."

Perhaps it was because of the alcohol that Zhou Jibai let out everything he had wanted to say in the past few days.

Shi Huai felt that Zhou Jibai was a bit like a wronged puppy who wagged his tail to court but received no response.

She didn't know why, but seeing this scoundrel being so humble towards her, she felt like laughing.

Zhou Jibai held Shi Huai's hand and placed her palm on his heart, letting her feel his strong heartbeat.

This heart will always be excited for her.

"Shi Huai, trust me this time, okay?"

Shi Huai lowered his eyes and couldn't help but pinch Zhou Jibai's chest muscles. "You told me so much today, is it because I'm pregnant with your child, because we are husband and wife, or because I'm Shi Huai?"

Zhou Jibai tilted his head: "Aren't you the mother of my child, my wife, Shi Huai Ben Huai?"

Shi Huai: ...

Well, it’s hard to explain to this guy who is allergic to romance.

Zhou Jibai glanced at the hand that was taking advantage of him, and the redness on his face became more obvious. He did not take Shi Huai's hand and let her take advantage of him.

"If you won't forgive the mother and daughter, let me help you get rid of them, okay?" His tone could even be described as begging and humble.

Seeing Zhou Jibai so sincere, Shi Huai fell into deep thought. Should he tell Zhou Jibai about his revenge plan?

Seeing Shi Huai fall silent again, Zhou Jibai leaned forward and said, "Shi Huai, say you agree."

Faced with Zhou Jibai's ambiguous approach, Shi Huai's brain suddenly froze, and she instinctively blurted out the word "OK".

Then, she smelled the alcohol on Zhou Jibai, and a wave of turmoil surged in her stomach. Shi Huai pushed Zhou Jibai to the ground and quickly picked up the trash can under the bed.

"vomit--"

Zhou Jibai was so worried and nervous when he saw Shi Huai suffering from morning sickness and morning vomiting that he was almost sober. He didn't care about the answer at all and hurriedly massaged Shi Huai's back and poured him some hot water.

…

Since that night, neither Shi Huai nor Zhou Jibai talked to each other again.

He didn't even show up at mealtimes. Zhou Jibai didn't go home for several days and nights. He either had fun in entertainment venues or stayed in his own Longting Mansion.

His anger and resentment were particularly obvious, and his cold war with Shi Huai was known to everyone.

Grandma called Zhou Jibai repeatedly, calling him a worthless person. Every time, Zhou Jibai would just reply with four words: "You're right," and then hang up the phone.

The atmosphere at home has been rather heavy these days.

Ruoyu tried to find Shi Huai several times to ask about the situation and comfort her, but Shi Huai never mentioned Zhou Jibai. Even if he mentioned him occasionally, he would roll his eyes and treat him as if his nose was not a nose and his eyes were not eyes.

In the past few days, Tang Xiaoling has been constantly "sending warmth" to Shi Huai, and learned from Shi Huai indirectly that she and Zhou Jibai had a quarrel again.

Zhou Jibai hasn't been home for several days and nights.

Shi Huai cursed Zhou Jibai endlessly, telling him that it would be better for him to die outside and never come back!

Their hatred towards Zhou Jibai was so intense that it was almost overwhelming! However, Tang Xiaoling and Tang Qiaoguo were overjoyed, and all their doubts disappeared.

Seeing that Shi Huai still had misunderstandings about Zhou Jibai and still hated Zhou Jibai so much, they felt relieved.

Zhou Jibai must have overheard the conversation between Shi Huai and them in the teahouse that day, as both mother and daughter's faces were distorted with laughter.

"She embarrassed us so much in the teahouse that day, and now she is disliked by the Zhou family. Doesn't this bitch Shi Huai really think that she has become a superior person just by becoming the wife of the Zhou family? Doesn't Zhou Jibai still look down on her?" Tang Qiaoguo mercilessly mocked Shi Huai's current situation.

Compared with Shi Huai's current mood, the embarrassment he felt at Yuechun Tower that day made him feel a lot better.

"As long as she and Zhou Jibai keep quarreling like this, they'll get divorced soon." Tang Xiaoling gently touched her daughter's face. "By then, as long as my beautiful daughter goes to the Zhou family more often to show off her reputation, how many days of good life can Shi Huai still have?"

Tang Qiaoguo was also absolutely confident in her beauty. She puffed out her chest arrogantly, her eyes full of pride and arrogance. "Don't worry, Mom. I've already found out which bar my brother-in-law is in these past few days. As long as I go over there and show some tenderness, I'll definitely be able to get the position of Mrs. Zhou."

The mother and daughter have now begun to fantasize about the infinite glory of sitting on the position of the young lady of the Zhou family.

Shi Huai was having a quarrel with Zhou Jibai during this period, and they were adding fuel to the fire. Even if Zhou Jibai and Shi Huai did not divorce, their relationship would drop to freezing point.
