Ren Jin stared at his phone for a while, then suddenly interrupted Qian Mingjun with a dark expression, asking in an incredulous tone, "Your sister-in-law knelt down to Wang Jiao?"
Qian Mingjun was taken aback. Gu Yueji had specifically told him not to tell Ren Jin about this that morning, so he hadn't mentioned Gu Yueji kneeling before Wang Jiao at all. He glanced at Ren Jin's phone and saw a video of Gu Yueji kneeling in front of Wang Jiao on the screen.
Qian Mingjun licked his lips, and finally, under the pressure of Ren Jin's gaze, he had no choice but to obediently tell the whole story.
——
After Qian Mingjun went out to pick someone up, Gu Yueji sat on the balcony at home waiting for his car to return. During this time, Xiao Yao sent her a WeChat message: the public security authorities issued an official report proving that Ren Jin had not committed any illegal acts, and arrested and punished those who spread rumors and engaged in cyberbullying online, including Xu Xin and Wang Jiao.
Gu Yueji looked up at the sky. The weather today was just like her mood—clear and sunny.
She put away her phone, no longer paying attention to the matter. Looking down, she saw Qian Mingjun's car drive up to her building, so she immediately went to her doorstep to wait.
As soon as the elevator doors opened, Ren Jin saw Gu Yueji greeting him with a smile.
"Honey, welcome home."
Ren Jin paused for a moment, then strode out of the elevator and reached out to hug Gu Yueji. "Wife, I'm back."
One sentence brought tears to Gu Yueji's eyes. She buried her face in that familiar embrace, but he seemed a little unfamiliar. Thinking of the past few days of separation, she gently rubbed her face against his chest, trying to wipe away the tears in her eyes so he wouldn't see them.
Ren Jin hugged her tightly, showering her with kisses on the top of her head, her forehead, and her cheeks. "Wife, you've worked so hard."
Just as his kiss was about to land on her lips, Gu Yueji snapped out of her daze and quickly stopped him, "Aunt and the others are here..."
Ren Jin paused, looked up, and saw Ren Yajuan, Gu Jiahui, and Sun Xiaohui standing at the door. He calmly nodded to them, "Aunt, Jiahui, Xiaohui, thank you for your hard work."
"It's no trouble at all, it's good to be back." Ren Yajuan greeted, "Come on, let's step over the fire basin first to drive away all the bad luck and evil spirits."
Gu Jiahui lit the brazier in front of the door, and Ren Jin strode over it. Ren Yajuan said all sorts of auspicious words, and everyone welcomed Ren Jin home in this festive atmosphere.
At noon, everyone ate together at Ren Jin's house and chatted about happy things. No one mentioned Xu Wangde and Xu Xin.
After everyone had gone home, Ren Jin sat quietly on the sofa with Gu Yueji in his arms.
He just called the construction site owner. They gave Xu Shu a few words of advice about the accident and told him to strengthen the management of the construction site. They also symbolically fined Ren Jin tens of thousands of yuan. Apart from that, everything else is normal and the construction site is operating normally.
At this point, Ren Jincai was finally at ease and could enjoy the tranquility after the storm with Gu Yueji.
He stroked Gu Yueji's belly and asked, "Has the baby been behaving well lately?"
Gu Yueji tenderly stroked her belly, "Sweetie, our baby is a strong child."
After visiting Xu Xin's house that day, fearing she might frighten her unborn child, she went to the hospital for a checkup, and the baby was perfectly fine.
Ren Jin lowered his eyes and gazed at the happy smile on Gu Yueji's face, but he felt a surge of emotions he couldn't suppress. There were things Gu Yueji didn't want him to know, but he felt he shouldn't pretend not to know.
Gu Yueji nestled in Ren Jin's arms and drifted off to sleep. She hadn't been sleeping well while he was away, but now that he was home, she could finally sleep peacefully.
However, Ren Jin suddenly sat up, picked her up, and placed her on his lap.
Gu Yueji immediately came to her senses. "Hey, what are you doing? I'm heavy right now. Put me down."
She nervously leaned on Ren Jin's shoulders.
Ren Jin held her firmly in his arms. "When have I ever complained about how heavy you are? I can carry you no matter how much you weigh."
His eyes were filled with obvious love, and Gu Yueji was both captivated and shy. She deliberately joked with him, "You don't even mind weighing 200 pounds?"
Ren Jin lowered his head and kissed her, saying, "No matter how many pounds you weigh, it's not heavy."
His kisses started off gently and softly, like soothing or pleasing, but soon he couldn't help but deepen his demands.
Gu Yueji also missed him very much, and she opened her mouth to respond to him emotionally.
After kissing for an unknown amount of time, Ren Jin slowly released Gu Yueji. He held her gently and caressed her, then suddenly asked, "Why did you kneel down and apologize to Wang Jiao?"
Gu Yueji was taken aback, and looked up at him in surprise, "You knew?"
Ren Jin stared intently at her. From the moment he saw that video, the scene of Gu Yueji slowly kneeling down while holding her large belly was deeply etched in his mind. There was no sound in the video when her knees touched the ground, but Ren Jin felt as if a deafening sound rang in his ears.
Ren Jin's feelings were complicated. He felt guilty and his heart ached. During the time he was away, she had gone through so much: cyberbullying, intimidation, harassment, and humiliation. She had endured it all alone and didn't even want him to know. He wanted to ask her what he had done to deserve her. He hadn't even knelt down to propose to her, but she had knelt down for him.
At the same time, he felt an indescribable sense of gratitude and happiness. No one in his life had ever done so much for him, yet this woman he loved most was willing to stand in front of him and protect him from the wind and rain. What a lucky and happy thing this was for a man.
"Why?" Ren Jin asked.
Gu Yueji thought he was asking about her meeting with Xu Xin, so she explained to him, "At the time, everyone was criticizing us. I knew that if I simply issued a clarification, no one would want to see it. Everyone only wants to see what they want to see and have an outlet for their anger. So I could only create a bigger media explosion to give everyone a bigger outlet for their anger. Since Wang Jiao and Xu Xin were playing the victim, I thought that only if we were even more miserable could we gain the sympathy of netizens and tell everyone that they had been deceived. Only in this way could public opinion be reversed."
