Chapter 12 She called me trash

As Shi Yuanxing drove up, he could see Qin Shuzhi standing under the shade of a tree from a distance.

He parked the car in front of her and waited for her to get in before saying, "Didn't I tell you to sit inside and wait until I got there before you came out? It's so hot outside."

Qin Shuzhi was furious, but seeing him made her feel a little better. "Don't even mention it, I ran into two pieces of trash."

"?"

Driving, Shi Yuanxing turned his head to look at her with a puzzled expression. "Trash?"

"It's Shen Yichen and his ex-girlfriend."

As soon as she finished speaking, the car screeched to a halt, and Shi Yuanxing turned to look at her.

Did he bully you?

The man's gaze turned cold, and he asked in a deep voice, "Where is he now?"

Qin Shuzhi was taken aback by his strong reaction. "You...you're going to find him?"

"Of course, you are my wife, how could I let others bully you?"

The man deftly turned off the engine, unbuckled his seatbelt, and looked ready to get out and settle scores any second.

Qin Shuzhi watched his actions, her heart trembling.

When she learned that Shen Yichen had put her in danger on her birthday night because of Zhou Siyan, she didn't feel like crying. But now, seeing Shi Yuanxing standing up for her without hesitation, her eyes welled up with tears and her heart warmed.

"You shouldn't go, lest you get some bad luck."

She quickly grabbed his arm, raised her right hand, and said, "I just slapped him hard across the face."

Shi Yuanxing paused for a moment, their eyes met for a brief moment, and he pulled her right hand over and gently stroked her palm.

"Does it hurt?"

"My skin feels a little numb after the injection," Qin Shuzhi shared with him, "but it was still pretty good."

Seeing her triumphant little face, Shi Yuanxing's tense expression finally softened into a smile.

He reached out and ruffled her hair, praising her, "Well done! I'll make you something delicious as a reward when we get back."

Not wanting him to go to Shen Yichen, Qin Shuzhi quickly nodded, "Okay, let's go home now, I'm hungry."

Her voice was soft and gentle, and the way she touched her belly was so cute it was almost like she was being coquettish. Shi Yuanxing's eyes overflowed with a gentle smile.

"Okay, let's go home."

I'm not going to go looking for that unlucky piece of trash.

When he got home, Shi Yuanxing went into the kitchen to make lunch.

He specially prepared two extra dishes, both of which were Qin Shuzhi's favorite flavors.

As Qin Shuzhi ate the delicious food, the unpleasant things from the morning gradually faded away from her mind.

Being with Mr. Shi makes me feel much more emotionally stable.

After she took her medicine in the afternoon, Shi Yuanxing noticed that she was a little sleepy, so he told her to go back to her room for a nap.

Qin Shuzhi woke up at a little after five o'clock.

She walked out of the room and saw Shi Yuanxing sitting on the sofa with a laptop on his lap, intently busy with something.

Hearing the noise, he looked up and asked, "Awake?"

"Um."

Qin Shuzhi went over and sat down. She saw him put away his computer, then got up, walked to the table, poured a glass of warm water, and handed it to her.

After sleeping all afternoon, Qin Shuzhi was indeed a little thirsty.

Mr. Shi is indeed thoughtful and considerate.

"Thanks."

She took the water and drank a sip, then heard a voice say, "Mrs. Shi."

"Um?"

Qin Shuzhi looked up at the man and heard him ask, "Interested in going out on a date tonight?"

Caught off guard, Qin Shuzhi choked on the water. "Cough cough... A date?"

"Hmm, how about we go out for dinner and a movie?"

"OK."

Qin Shuzhi gladly accepted his invitation.

They are a married couple, so it's normal for them to go on dates, and it can even help strengthen their relationship.

For her first date with Mr. Shi, Qin Shuzhi specially changed into a beautiful dress, put on light makeup, and styled her hair in an elegant updo before leaving home.

This was to show her respect for him and for the date.

Shi Yuanxing looked at the woman who came out of the bedroom, his eyes lingering on her and he couldn't bear to look away.

The dress was simple and elegant, and paired with her delicate makeup and hairstyle, it made her already exquisite features even more refined and otherworldly.

Qin Shuzhi walked up to him. "Are we ready to go?"

Shi Yuanxing snapped out of his daze and said, "Okay."

When they arrived at the mall and came out of the parking lot, Shi Yuanxing naturally took the hand of the woman next to him.

Enveloped in a warm, broad hand, Qin Shuzhi felt a heat travel from her palm to her heart. Her ears turned slightly red, but she obediently let the man lead her.

"Is there any movie you'd like to see?"

She started a casual conversation.

Shi Yuanxing turned his head to look at her, "How about 'Warm Sunshine'?"

Qin Shuzhi's eyes lit up with surprise. "You actually like watching these kinds of art films?"

Shi Yuanxing asked with a smile, "Isn't it what you like?"

Qin Shuzhi suddenly stopped in her tracks, staring at him in surprise, "How did you know?"

She was supposed to go see the movie with Qi Yishan when it premiered not long ago, but she got angry and left because she saw Shen Yichen and Zhou Siyan shopping, so she didn't get to see it.

I haven't gone to see it since.

“Yesterday, you paused for quite a while in front of the movie billboard outside the supermarket,” Shi Yuanxing said.

If you didn't like it, why would you stop to watch it?

Qin Shuzhi's heart skipped a beat. "So, tonight... you actually came to see this place specifically to accompany me?"

Shi Yuanxing looked at her eyes, which were slightly red with emotion, and raised an eyebrow. "Well, actually, it was mainly to go on a date with you."

Qin Shuzhi smiled slightly.

Whether it was for a date or to accompany her to the movies, he put his heart into it.

Shi Yuanxing first took her to a romantic restaurant for a meal. After the meal, before the movie started, he accompanied her to stroll around the mall for a while.

Finally, we arrived at the movie theater just in time.

Before entering, he specially bought her half-sweet milk tea and popcorn, and then took her hand to enter the venue.

Sitting in the movie theater, Qin Shuzhi was filled with emotion.

When the movie was still in its promotional period, she thought that Shen Yichen would be the person accompanying her, but unexpectedly, it was someone else who came with her in the end—

It's her husband, Mr. Shi.

Qin Shuzhi quietly turned her head to look at the handsome man with a superior profile next to her.

In the dim light, her gaze was filled with tenderness.

Seemingly noticing her gaze, Shi Yuanxing turned his head and leaned closer to ask softly, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing," Qin Shuzhi said with a smile, shaking her head.

She was just so glad that the person she watched the movie with was him.

Instead of that guy surnamed Shen.

At that time, that guy surnamed Chen was drinking and getting drunk at a club.

Chen Jin looked at his brother, who had been drinking alone with a sullen face all night, and said, "What's wrong with you? Anyone who didn't know better would think you'd just broken up with your boyfriend."

The word "heartbreak" made Shen Yichen frown. "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Chen Jin had only said it casually, but seeing his strong reaction, he teased, "What, your fiancée hasn't forgiven you yet?"

Frustrated and helpless, Shen Yichen tilted his head back and gulped down a glass of wine. "She went to the hospital today to cause trouble for Yan Yan."

"What?"

Chen Jin looked incredulous. "No way, Shuzhi doesn't seem like the type to do something like this."

Seeing that he didn't speak, Chen Jin asked again, "What exactly happened?"

Shen Yichen recounted what had happened at the hospital that day.

Chen Jin was speechless. "No, the matter hasn't even been clarified yet, and you're already accusing Shuzhi and demanding an apology from her. How can she not be angry and leave?"

"And then what? They got angry and left, and you didn't go after them to comfort them?"

Shen Yichen's face darkened, and he said in a muffled voice, "She called me trash."

Chen Jin raised an eyebrow. "Aren't you one?"
