Chapter 78: It's not a good one at first glance

Although his tone was no different from usual, Su Yan sensed a hint of danger, so she tightened her face and shook her head like a rattle.

"No, no, I absolutely didn't mean that. Don't accuse a good person casually."

Her eyes flickered, and it was obvious she was lying. He Ji reached out and smacked her on the head, "Alright, alright. I'm not going to settle the score later. Are you really that cowardly?"

"Let's go, it's already this late, go back to bed quickly."

I don’t know how she was able to hold on so well today. It was already past bedtime, but her eyes were still so clear.

Su Yan felt relieved that he had no intention of settling the score, and followed him briskly.

After entering the house, Su Yan went to change clothes, while He Ji put away the things he had packed.

There is too much food, so he has to take some to the construction site tomorrow, otherwise it will go bad and the children may not be able to finish it.

Su Yan, who hadn't felt sleepy at all just now, felt sleepy immediately after touching her pillow, and fell into a deep sleep in just a few minutes.

He Ji came in after packing up, lying down beside her, leaning on his side, supporting his head with his hands, staring at Su Yan.

This child is so well-behaved that he doesn't know what to do. Every time he wants to love her more, she never gives him the chance.

He stretched out his hand and lingered on her smooth face. Finally, he sighed heavily, "Don't be so obedient in the future."

He said this without caring whether Su Yan heard it or not. After he finished speaking, he hugged Su Yan in his arms and closed his eyes.

Because she went to bed late last night, Su Yan was reluctant to get up in the morning. When He Ji prepared breakfast, she was still lying in bed.

He came in and called out twice, but Su Yan didn't wake up. She hummed twice and fell asleep again.

He Ji thought that the flower shop didn't have much business in the morning, so he didn't call her. He left her a message and went out with his phone.

No one disturbed her, so she slept for a long time. When Su Yan woke up, it was almost twelve o'clock.

After staring at her phone for a long time, she let out a cry and hurriedly got up from the bed.

It was too late to open the store at this time, so she thought of closing it for a day and collecting the rent first.

After eating something quick, she went out with her notebook.

It snowed yesterday, but the snow was not heavy and it all melted in the sun.

The weather today is not that cold, so Su Yan put on a sweater and a coat, which was just right.

After going out, she didn't take a car, but walked slowly along the road.

It hasn't even been half a year since I moved out, but when I came back here, I actually felt a little strange, as if things and people had changed.

She pursed her lips, walked slowly through the alley, and then knocked on every door.

She arrived at the right time. It was lunchtime and everyone had gotten off work and was cooking in the house.

The rent collection process went as smoothly as usual, and his tenants did not delay or have no money like other tenants did.

After I put it away and came down, I ran into Aunt Wang from next door.

Aunt Wang is a famous gossip in the alley. She will spread the news of any small matter happening in someone's family to the whole alley.

Su Yan didn't interact with her much usually, and they only saw each other twice a year. This time when they bumped into each other, she nodded and said hello.

The clothes she wore were made of particularly good material and were pink in color. Her image was very different from before. Aunt Wang looked at her for a long time before she recognized her.

Thinking of what she had seen before, she quickly called Su Yan.

"Wait a minute, Xiaoyan. Auntie has something to tell you."

It was certain that something bad was going to happen when she spoke. Su Yan didn't want to say anything more to her and quickened her pace, but Aunt Wang caught up with her and stopped her.

"Look at you, girl. I already said I have something to tell you, but why are you walking faster and faster?"

Aunt Wang opened her mouth and gasped twice, then looked her up and down with a look that was both particularly sympathetic and gossipy.

The little girl is still the same as before, so delicate and petite, as if she would be blown away if the wind blew a little stronger.

Su Yan couldn't bear the look in her eyes. She got goose bumps all over her body and asked softly, "Auntie, is there something wrong?"

Aunt Wang nodded, looked around, and after making sure no one was around, she leaned closer to Su Yan and said, "The other day I saw your big man cuddling with a pregnant woman."

"Xiao Yan, although my aunt has crossed the line a bit, your parents and I have been neighbors for decades. I can't just stand by and watch you get cheated, right?"

"The man you married is not a good person at first glance. Not only does he look fierce and evil, but he also has affairs outside."

When she heard that the girl had married a big guy, she felt that something would happen sooner or later. How could she, such a small person, control him?

Sure enough, you see, it’s only been a short time since we got married, but I can’t control myself anymore.

Not only did he mess around outside, he even had a child. What a shameless person.

Su Yan was stunned by what she said. The news that he was having an affair outside and had a child was like a bomb that made her lose the ability to think.

After a long time, she swallowed hard, took deep breaths repeatedly, and finally found her voice.

"Aunt, you're kidding me, he's not that kind of person."

Except when he goes out of town for business, he comes home every day. Moreover, his behavior has been the same since they got married. How could he have caused such a big trouble outside?

"Tsk, kid, how could your aunt possibly joke about something like this?"

"I saw it with my own eyes. The woman threw herself into his arms, crying and yelling for him to take responsibility."

She spoke in a serious tone, paused for a moment, and then Su Yan, who had been very determined, began to waver.

She frowned and began to think about what was wrong with He Ji recently.

Normal behavior may be misinterpreted based on pre-existing impressions.

The more Su Yan thought about it, the colder she felt on the back of her head. Seeing that Aunt Wang was still chattering, she quickly found an excuse to leave.

She couldn't just listen to Aunt Wang's one-sided words. The death row prisoner still had a chance to defend himself. She had to ask He Ji first before deciding what to do.

She hurried home, and when she entered the empty house, she remembered that He Ji was still busy.

Without an accurate answer, she had no mood to do anything, so she curled up on the sofa, hugged her pillow and stared at the door.

She must ask about this as soon as He Ji comes back. Only after she understands it can she sleep peacefully.

She just sat there, motionless, like a statue.

The sky gradually darkened, but she still didn't want to move. The night invaded the house, and she allowed herself to be shrouded in darkness.

She didn't turn on the light, and the room was dark. As soon as He Ji opened the door, his brows furrowed.
