Yun Qing was born with unparalleled beauty. She has always been adored by others, never the one to highlight them. Who knew that one day, someone would tell her she was merely a willful cannon fodd...
While Zhou Sinian was lost in his memories, Yun Qing was also observing him.
Judging from his expression, it wouldn't be difficult for her to try and go back to him. To be honest, she doesn't want to continue a marriage.
But women, once they enter their thirties, inevitably have those kinds of moments.
Zhou Sinian has always been a person of integrity, and he used to be quite convenient to work with. He is also the father of her son, so it can be considered that the benefits should not go to outsiders.
Thinking of this, Yun Qing slightly composed herself and gave the man opposite her a smile.
This smile brought Zhou Sinian back to his senses. In fact, he didn't know why he had come here today. Clearly, he didn't need to come in person.
Struggling to suppress the bitterness in his heart, Zhou Sinian said indifferently, "Where's Xingxing? He must have been crying for a long time. He can't sleep without me by his side."
Yun Qing's eyes widened in an instant. Zhou Yunnan had this problem? He clearly fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow at noon.
"Ahem, I didn't notice. He's sleeping soundly right now. Do you want to go check on him?"
Hearing Yun Qing's answer, Zhou Sinian sneered inwardly. He didn't believe it at all. Nine times out of ten, the child was crying for his father and fell asleep because he was tired.
When Yunqing left, perhaps because of the bond between mother and son, Zhou Yunnan cried and refused to sleep. It was Yunqing who held him and coaxed him until late at night before he finally fell asleep.
How could she possibly become a well-behaved baby who doesn't need to be coaxed to sleep the moment she returns to Yun Qing's side?
He was confident that for Zhou Yunnan, three years of companionship would be far more valuable than a year of care from this woman.
Zhou Sinian's expression betrayed his thoughts, while Yun Qing spread his hands, revealing an indifferent expression.
"Since you don't believe me, then take him away. I didn't intend to bother you anyway; today's encounter was just an accident."
"An accident? You mean you didn't want to see the stars, is that right?"
"When did I say I didn't want to see him? Can you stop making up all this nonsense?"
Yun Qing sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation. This man's comprehension was still so worrisome. She was just explaining that she didn't mean to fight for the child as soon as she returned to the country.
In his eyes, it seemed as if she was neglecting the child. She had been sending things back frequently over the past three years, but he didn't know if Aunt Zhou had given them to the child.
"Delusion? Am I not telling the truth? Wasn't it you who abandoned us, father and son? Wasn't it you who didn't come back even once in three years?"
Yun Qing's words must have touched a nerve with Zhou Sinian, because his efforts to maintain composure eventually crumbled.
However, Yun Qing had no intention of bringing up past grievances with him. When she was in the wrong, she usually chose to play dead.
"If you insist on saying it that way, then there's nothing I can do about it."
"You!" Zhou Sinian choked up completely, turning away angrily and refusing to look at her.
He was afraid that if he watched any longer, he would feel wronged and start crying.
He had warned himself before coming here not to have too high expectations of her, but now that he was actually at this point, he still couldn't remain calm.
The two weren't talking loudly, but it still caught the attention of Yu Heng, who happened to be passing by, and he knocked lightly on the door.
"Gentlemen, may I come in?"
Upon hearing his voice, a hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the two people inside the room—why didn't he go to work?
Yun Qing stood still, while Zhou Sinian silently walked over and opened the door. However, he did not let Yu Heng in directly, but stood at the door and asked him.
"Yu Heng, is there something you need?"
Yu Heng was taken aback by the question: "Isn't this my home?"
Zhou Sinian was also taken aback; he had actually forgotten about this matter.
"Excuse me, Yun Qing and I have some private matters to discuss, so it's probably inconvenient for us to let you in."
"So it seems I came at an inopportune time." Yu Heng smiled, but upon closer inspection, the smile didn't reach his eyes.
Zhou Sinian seemed oblivious and continued, "I'm really sorry, but I'll have to trouble you to leave for now."
"Does your sister-in-law think so too?" Zhou Sinian had thought Yu Heng would leave sensibly, but instead, he was met with this question. For a moment, he was stunned.
Yun Qing's head was buzzing when she heard their conversation. What on earth was this damned brother-in-law up to?
"Yu Heng, are you so free all day? If so, as the second largest shareholder of Yu's Group, I have to question whether you are capable of being the president."
Yu Heng's teeth chattered. He hadn't expected Yun Qing to scold him for Zhou Sinian's sake.
The information I saw this morning clearly showed that she didn't have much affection for her ex-husband.
Having misjudged Yun Qing's attitude, a shadow crossed Yu Heng's eyes, and he could only resort to his last shield.
"Sister-in-law, don't forget, your brother has only been gone for a month."
Mentioning Yu He caused the atmosphere in the room to freeze. The three of them had different expressions and were lost in thought.
After a long while, Yun Qing finally came to her senses, turned around and glared fiercely at Yu Heng.
"What do you mean by that? Yu He is gone, so I have to remain chaste for him and be a widow for the rest of my life?"
Yu Heng felt hot all over from her glare, which made him feel like she was looking at trash. A widow? Of course not. If Yun Qing really wanted to stay with Yu He for the rest of her life, he would be the first to object.
"Sister-in-law, that's not what I meant. It's just that you and Si Nian have been divorced for many years, and it's best to avoid any appearance of impropriety."
"Yu Heng, what you're saying isn't right. Even if we're divorced, we still have children together. How can we compare ourselves to ordinary people?"
"Brother Sinian, what do you mean by that? Are you saying you don't care about your wife's reputation? If she remarries, will you still maintain this lingering relationship?"
"Like a lotus root still connected even after being severed?" Zhou Sinian repeated subconsciously.
For some reason, a sweet feeling arose in my heart.
Yu Heng is Yun Qing's brother-in-law. Since he said that, it must mean more than just what happened today.
Could it be that Yun Qing has actually been thinking of them all these past three years, but had an unavoidable reason for not returning to the country?
He knew it; Yun Qing couldn't possibly be so heartless to him. Yu He must have used some leverage against her to force her. Perhaps there was more to their divorce than met the eye.
Zhou Sinian couldn't suppress his joy, but he wanted to maintain his aloofness in front of Yun Qing, so his expression became somewhat strange.
At this moment, Yun Qing spoke up, shattering his illusion: "Yu Heng, what nonsense are you spouting? When did I ever have any lingering feelings for him? Today I just happened to run into Xiao Nan at the mall and decided to take him out for two days. What does this have to do with my reputation, my remarriage, or whether I'll remarry?"
Yu Heng knew all this, of course. What he was really worried about was that Zhou Sinian was still up to no good.
He had known for a long time that Zhou Sinian had a wife who abandoned her husband and children, and that he still couldn't forget her.
