Chapter 110: Sharing the Bed
Ruan Yuntang was celebrating Hu Xiaoling's successful divorce at this time.
The two of them prepared a large table of food together. She also took out the good wine in the space and poured a glass for each of them.
Hu Xiaoling felt dizzy after just one drink. She stomped her chin on the table and shook her head, "Tangtang, I really envy you for having such a good husband!"
Ruan Yuntang rolled his eyes at her and said, "Why, you just escaped from the sea of suffering, and you're thinking about getting married again?"
"I'm not getting married!" Hu Xiaoling sat up suddenly, poured herself another cup with a gloomy look on her face, and after drinking it in one gulp, she said, "I'm saying you have good taste, don't you?"
"Jiang Tuan is so kind and devoted to you, and now he has made great contributions. If you two have another baby, your life will be perfect!"
“…”Ruan Yuntang.
"He is not mine, don't talk nonsense." Ruan Yuntang also took two sips of wine.
"Why are you talking nonsense?" Hu Xiaoling was puzzled. "If it's not yours, whose else could it be?"
Ruan Yuntang was a little drunk, and when she stared at him and asked him, the words in his heart blurted out.
"I don't know. Divorce is inevitable."
"Ah? Divorce?" Hu Xiaoling's eyes widened.
Ruan Yuntang's heart trembled. Just as he was about to make up an excuse, he saw Hu Xiaoling's whole body swaying, and she stomped her head on the table and fell asleep...
She felt relieved immediately.
But she didn't know that their conversation was clearly heard by people outside the door through the thin wooden door.
Jiang Yubai's fingers tightened slightly around the door handle, his dark eyes reflecting a paranoid cold light.
"divorce?"
"It's too late now."
The corner of the man's lips curled up into a determined curve.
Ruan Yuntang finally helped Hu Xiaoling into his room. When he was about to go out to wash his face, he opened the door and was shocked.
"You...why are you back?"
She looked at the man's leg wrapped tightly in gauze and the crutches in his hand, and said disapprovingly: "Your leg isn't even healed yet, how can you be discharged from the hospital?"
"It seems inconvenient for you to help me carry things, so I'll come back and get them myself."
Jiang Yubai's pale face forced out a weak smile, which was so broken that it was heartbreaking.
Ruan Yuntang was stunned by such a stunning smile, and after a moment he asked doubtfully: "Didn't I ask Comrade Shen to bring the things to you?"
Jiang Yubai's expression paused slightly, and he suddenly grasped something, "Didn't Shen Lieyang come back to deliver the message?"
"What?" Ruan Yuntang looked confused.
Seeing this, Jiang Yubai realized that he had misunderstood.
But why did that woman Qiao Sujin deliberately say such misleading words to him?
Moreover, in his previous life, Qiao Sujin had no idea about her relationship with the Jiang family at this time. Even later, he had little contact with her. At most, he used her to threaten Jiang Shaohuan.
She suddenly appeared here in this life. Was it someone's instructions, or...
Jiang Yubai lowered his eyes, and a dark light flashed in his eyes.
But after a moment, he suppressed all his emotions and said to Ruan Yuntang naturally, "You brought the wrong things at noon."
Ruan Yuntang frowned and retorted quickly, "How is that possible? There's nothing in that drawer except the notebook."
Jiang Yubai's expression was serious. "Did something get stolen?"
Ruan Yuntang's heart skipped a beat, and he asked in shock, "What's so important?"
If it was something very important, he wouldn't start to doubt her again.
The next second, Jiang Yubai gave a very affirmative answer.
“Very important.”
Ruan Yuntang's heart sank to the bottom in an instant. After he entered the house, she hurriedly followed him, emphasizing as she walked,
"I only saw the notebook when I was looking for something, and I haven't opened it yet—"
Her words suddenly stopped when Jiang Yubai pulled out a drawer and took out two sachets.
"The important thing you mentioned is..."
She opened her mouth and closed it again. Her heart, which had fallen to the bottom of the valley, suddenly became complicated and she turned her eyes away slightly.
"Since you didn't lose anything, just go back—"
Jiang Yubai suddenly kicked the sachet into his arms and interrupted slowly: "It is very important. I can't sleep without it."
Ruan Yuntang swallowed his previous words and paused before saying, "The downstairs of the inpatient department is shaded by trees, which does attract mosquitoes."
After saying that, she said, "I'm going to sleep, you should go back to the hospital early," and turned and left.
Jiang Yubai said, "You sleep here."
Ruan Yuntang froze, not daring to turn around, but heard the other party say, "Do you want the entire family compound to know that we sleep in separate beds?"
Ruan Yuntang was stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Xiaoling wouldn't say anything nonsense."
After saying that, she quickly walked out the door and ran next door.
The door of the next room slammed shut, and Jiang Yubai frowned.
He hasn't even slept in her bed yet, and someone else has gotten there first?
After one step, Ruan Yuntang covered his chest and took a few deep breaths to calm his heart that was about to beat out of his chest.
Then she looked up at the bed and her head felt heavy again.
Hu Xiaoling was seen lying in a spread-eagle position, occupying the entire bed, even talking drunkenly and cursing Song Wei's family angrily.
While cursing, his arms and legs were still waving around.
Ruan Yuntang had no doubt that if she slept here tonight, Hu Xiaoling would definitely mistake her for Song Wei and beat her up.
After being silent for several minutes, she grabbed a quilt from the closet and walked out of the room.
Just as I took two steps towards the sofa, a meaningful reminder suddenly came from behind me.
"If you want all the sisters-in-law in the family compound to come to you tomorrow to ask about our relationship problems, you can sleep on the sofa."
Ruan Yuntang's legs were stiff and his head was as big as an ox.
During the past two weeks of living in the family compound, even though she wasn't a sociable person, she could hear a lot of quarrels between families, or complaints about someone's behavior...
If the news of them sleeping in separate beds really got out, the news of their sexual disharmony would probably spread throughout the family compound.
After a long time, Ruan Yuntang turned around, holding the quilt, and walked into his room stiffly.
She didn't even realize she was clumsy.
Until a chuckle came from behind.
Ruan Yuntang finally realized something, dropped the quilt, turned around and glared at him,
"Why are you laughing? If I wasn't thinking about your reputation, would I ever let myself down?"
"Thank you for thinking of me." Jiang Yubai suppressed his smile and nodded in agreement.
Ruan Yuntang choked up and walked out the door again.
"You go to sleep first, I'll go wash up."
After saying that, she closed the door and hurried to the yard.
Jiang Yubai looked at her back with deep eyes, but did not stop her. He just took out a new bed sheet from the closet and changed it slowly.
Ruan Yuntang lingered by the pool until the moon rose. After being bitten by mosquitoes and getting several big bumps, she couldn't stand it anymore and quietly pushed open the door.
The person was sleeping on only half of the bed, his body straight, his hands placed neatly on his chest.
Apart from the sound of shallow breathing, there was no snoring or talking in sleep in the room.
Ruan Yuntang walked to the bed, looked at the person on the bed in the moonlight, and whispered softly: "Jiang Yubai, are you asleep?"
After a long while, there was no response. Ruan Yuntang's tense body completely relaxed, and he took off his shoes and went to bed.
Looking at the empty bed near the inside, she gritted her teeth and carefully moved her right leg to the middle of the bed. The coarse linen sheets were a bit rough, and when they brushed against her legs, her heart tightened, fearing that she would startle him.
After waiting for a while and finding that Jiang Yubai didn't wake up, she raised her left leg.
Just as she was about to step over, her toes accidentally hit his injured leg, and a barely audible groan rolled from his throat.
