Qiao Wanwan: "......"

“I asked Jingting to remind you to have some boundaries, but I think, given Jingting’s personality, it’s impossible for him to swear. If he were really angry, you wouldn’t be standing here now.”

"So he probably just wanted to remind you, but you blow it out of proportion, or perhaps you didn't expect Jingting to say these things to you on my behalf, so you feel particularly wronged and angry, right?"

Ruan Tang was speechless and said sadly, "Sister-in-law, do you know that I'm not in good health? I get a fever whenever I'm sad."

"So what?" Qiao Wanwan tilted her head. "Your noble body can't be sad, so I have to serve you unconditionally, right?"

Ruan Tang sniffed and said haughtily, "When Brother Jingting was in the car accident, he was in a bad mood. One night he suddenly disappeared. My aunt and I were so worried that we went out to look for him all night."

“It was pouring rain that night, and I was soaked in the rain all night, which ruined my health. Since then, I have been getting fevers frequently, including when I am in a bad mood. So my aunt and Jingting are very worried about me.”

Qiao Wanwan was stunned, not expecting such a thing to happen.

“Sister-in-law, you are Jingting’s wife. Shouldn’t you treat me better because of your love for him?” Ruan Tang looked at her. “Besides, I have done so much for Jingting, what have you done? Why should you get all the benefits in the end?”

Qiao Wanwan: "......"

“I am grateful for all that you have done for my husband, but that doesn’t mean there can be no bottom line.” Qiao Wanwan composed herself and said, “I still maintain that a sense of boundaries is a good thing, and I hope you can have it too. Ruan Tang, that’s all I have to say. You’d better think carefully about what you’ve said.”

After Qiao Wanwan finished speaking, she left immediately.

She went back to the master bedroom to take a shower, and when she came out of the bathroom, Zhan Jingting was already lying in bed.

"Did you sleep during the eleventh month?"

"He's asleep. I took a shower with him."

Qiao Wanwan couldn't help but chuckle at the thought of that scene.

She lay down on the bed and asked, "Ruan Tang said she's physically weak and often gets fevers. Is it because she was looking for you when she was little?"

"It seems that's true," Zhan Jingting recalled. "That's why my mother felt especially sorry for her."

Qiao Wanwan smiled but didn't say anything.

Zhan Jingting asked curiously, "Did she tell you?"

"Otherwise what?" Qiao Wanwan retorted. "She specifically emphasized her sacrifices for you to me, letting me know that whatever she does in this family is only natural because she has sacrificed a lot for you."

Zhan Jingting: "......"

"Does she really think that way?"

“She not only thinks this way, but she has already done it. Otherwise, why would she tell me these things?” Qiao Wanwan asked in return.

“I did talk to her today, but I didn’t expect her to dare to come to you with these things.” Zhan Jingting frowned slightly. “It seems that many things have changed as we grow up.”

Qiao Wanwan nodded. "Time changes many things, but some people change for the better, while others change for the opposite."

"I'll be careful." Zhan Jingting raised his hand and cupped her face. "Can we not talk about these things at a time like this?"

Qiao Wanwan asked knowingly, "Then what should I say?"

"What do you think?" The man raised an eyebrow. "At this time, you belong to me alone."

Just as Qiao Wanwan was about to speak, the man's kisses rained down on her.

The two kissed passionately, more intensely than ever before.

After opening up about everything, they both cherished their marriage and relationship even more.

After going through such a long and winding road, it's really too difficult to meet again and walk together.

The temperature in the room rose higher and higher, but the next second, a sudden ringtone broke the enchanting atmosphere.

Qiao Wanwan pushed Zhan Jingting's chest, and the man finally released her, panting, and rolled over to lie down beside her.

Qiao Wanwan took a deep breath, picked up her phone from the bedside table, and saw that it was a call from Wen Lijing.

She swiped to answer the call, "Lijing?"

"Wanwan, I heard from the hotel that you checked out early this morning?"

"Yes, Jingting came to pick me up. We talked things out, and everything is fine now."

"That's good."

"You called me specifically because there's something wrong?"

Wen Lijing on the other end of the phone didn't speak.

Qiao Wanwan smiled. "Is it for Wen Xue?"

“You’ve always been smart and you understand my thoughts.”

Qiao Wanwan said, "I told you before, Wen Xue isn't crazy. It's just that you can't wake her up and refuse to accept what I have to say."

“Li Jing, I know that as the eldest son of the Wen family, you have your responsibilities, but you cannot tolerate someone like Wen Xue. Don’t you understand yet that she is a twisted and evil person?”

"Nothing happened this National Day holiday, but what if something had? Wen Xue would be beyond redemption, do you understand?"

"I understand."

Qiao Wanwan sat up. "For the sake of you being my friend, and considering that she didn't harm Eleven this time, I can spare Wen Xue's life. I won't punish her privately. This is a society governed by law. I still hope she can accept the punishment of the law and repent."

"Eleven was not injured. She only committed kidnapping, which is not a serious crime."

Wen Lijing said gratefully, "Wanwan, thank you."

"No matter what, she raised me for over eleven years. This time, I'll repay her kindness. From now on, we're even. If she still can't learn her lesson and continues to target me, I won't let her off the hook again."
