Chapter 86 Suffering from Lovesickness
Two days later, Mo Chi left City C and went home.
Chu Rou also gave Xu Lan and Feng Fei a holiday, letting them go home for the New Year.
She packed a few changes of clothes and returned to the Shen family home.
The cast on Shen Luo's leg had been removed, and she was walking back and forth in the hall on crutches.
Chu Rou was annoyed. "Xiao Luo, can't you sit quietly for a while? The doctor hasn't even let your legs touch the ground yet."
Shen Luo walked to the sofa and sat down, sighing, "When will this year be over?"
“I used to think the holidays were too short and I wished it could last forever,” Chu Rou sighed. “But now, I don’t want to spend another day.”
The siblings were sighing and looking miserable. Shi Jingman came over and punched each of them lightly. "It's the New Year, is it appropriate for you to look so gloomy!"
She put down the fruit plate in her hand, then poked each of their foreheads, saying, "Look at you two, so pathetic, you're both lovesick."
"Mom..." Shen Luo covered her head, "You are a well-fed man who does not know the hunger of an starving man. You and Dad are together every day and even show affection in front of us. It's like putting us on the fire to roast."
"You brat!" Shi Jingman laughed and slapped Chen Luo on the back again.
Shen Minghui came out of the study, and Shi Jingman, still smiling, asked, "Did Xiaoyan say when he was coming?"
Shen Minghui's face showed displeasure. "Xiao Yan's mother has returned to China and won't be able to come over for the next couple of days. She said she'll come over for dinner on the first day of the Lunar New Year."
Shi Jingman's smile vanished, and she immediately became tense. "Why did she go back to China?"
Since Shen Yan went abroad, his mother, Sun Wanying, has basically never returned. Now that Shen Yan has returned to China to develop his career, has she come back with him?
Shi Jingman suddenly felt a sense of crisis. Sun Wanying was a strong woman who was better than her in every way.
Shen Minghui divorced Sun Wanying because she wanted to go abroad and asked him to go with her to develop his career overseas.
But Shen Minghui refused. He didn't want to leave. He felt comfortable and at ease living in China and just wanted a peaceful life.
However, Sun Wanying insisted on going abroad and threatened Shen Minghui with divorce.
To Sun Wanying's surprise, Shen Minghui actually agreed to the divorce, saying he would set her free.
In a fit of anger, Sun Wanying divorced Shen Minghui and left the father and son abroad.
Sun Wanying had been doing very well abroad for two years and was thinking of persuading Shen Minghui to bring their son abroad to reunite with her. However, when she finally contacted Shen Minghui, the news she received shocked her.
Shen Minghui remarried to a widowed woman who also had a daughter who was two years younger than Shen Yan.
Sun Wanying was furious, but she had no reason to stop it; she was the one who wanted a divorce.
Shi Jingman met Sun Wanying once, when Sun Wanying returned to China to pick up Shen Yan.
Sun Wanying was tall and imposing. She looked at Shi Jingman with disdain and contempt, and spoke with a sharp tongue, calling Shi Jingman a vixen who stole someone else's husband.
Shi Jingman was furious, and Shen Minghui had to coax her for a long time before she could let it go.
Sun Wanying has returned to China again, and everyone will inevitably meet again. Shi Jingman is both scared and annoyed.
Chu Rou understood Shi Jingman's thoughts, while Shen Luo, eating an apple, had no idea what was going on. "Big Brother's mother has also returned to the country? Is she leaving again?"
"It would be better if you didn't leave, so that you wouldn't have to worry about both sides."
Chu Rou pinched Chen Luo's ear, "Eating can't shut you up."
"Sis, let go. Men and women shouldn't touch each other. Stop touching me like that," Shen Luo said, covering her ears tightly. "I have a girlfriend now. Be mindful of your behavior."
Chu Rou kicked him, "You brat, you're talking to me about the consequences? I know how many moles you have on your butt."
"Huh?" Shen Luo put her hands on her butt. "You didn't peek at me while I was sleeping, did you?!"
"Bullshit!" Chu Rou slapped him across the face. "When you were little, you ran around the house naked. I couldn't help but see you even if I wanted to."
The commotion between Chu Rou and Shen Luo warmed up the atmosphere in the living room again.
Shi Jingman pressed her forehead. "My head hurts. I'm going to rest for a while."
Shen Minghui cleared his throat. "I'm going to check on your mother. Stop fighting so you don't disturb her."
Chu Rou and Shen Luo nodded.
Shen Minghui entered the bedroom, and Shi Jingman lay on her side on the bed.
He walked over, bent down to look at Shi Jingman, and touched her forehead. "Wife, does your head hurt?"
Shi Jingman ignored Shen Minghui, keeping her eyes closed and remaining silent.
Shen Minghui pressed his temples; he was the one with the real headache.
"Honey, if you're angry, just let it out. It's so uncomfortable to keep it bottled up!"
Shi Jingman snorted coldly and continued to ignore Shen Minghui.
"Honey, I know you're upset because Sun Wanying is going back to China, but what does that have to do with us? Whether she comes back or not doesn't affect us!"
Shi Jingman opened her eyes, sat up, stared at Shen Minghui and asked, "Is it okay? She is your son's mother, and Shen Yan is the link between you."
"Look, as soon as Shen Yan returned to the country, she followed him back. If Shen Yan moves into the house, will she move in with him too?"
Shen Minghui frowned. "What nonsense are you talking about? How could she possibly be living in our house?"
“Why is it impossible?” Shi Jingman bit her lower lip, her eyes stinging, and tears welled up in her eyes. “This has always been your home, and I am just an outsider.”
Shen Minghui couldn't bear to see Shi Jingman cry, so he quickly hugged her and wiped away her tears. "Nonsense, the property certificate for this house is in both our names. This house belongs to both of us."
"I've only been with her for a few years, but we've been together for over twenty years. Don't you know how I've treated you?"
Shi Jingman leaned against Shen Minghui's chest and asked, "Husband, will you divorce me and remarry Sun Wanying?"
"You're always overthinking things. Aren't you usually quite confident? Why are you so self-deprecating around Sun Wanying?"
Shen Minghui sighed and hugged Shi Jingman tightly. "If I wanted to remarry her, why would I marry you? I fell in love with you the first time I saw you. You are beautiful, have a soft voice, and a good personality, so I made up my mind to pursue you."
Shi Jingman was secretly pleased after hearing Shen Minghui's words, but she asked against her true feelings, "If Sun Wanying hadn't gone abroad, you two would probably be very loving, right?"
Shen Minghui looked down at her and said, "Even if Sun Wanying doesn't go abroad, I can't live with her anymore. She's too domineering. After a few years of marriage, the feelings between us have long been worn away."
Shi Jingman looked up at Shen Minghui and asked, "Are you telling the truth? You're not lying to me?"
"When have I ever lied to you?" Shen Minghui stroked his wife's still smooth and fair face and kissed her.
Shi Jingman blushed with embarrassment and pushed Shen Minghui away, saying, "How old are you? Pay attention to your image. Don't let the children see this."
"So what if I saw it? I didn't kiss anyone else's wife."
Shen Minghui was laughing and about to continue his antics when his phone rang. It was an unknown number.
He pressed the answer button, but before he could speak, he heard a woman's voice coming from the phone, "Shen Minghui, I'm back in China, I want to see you!"
