Chapter 139 Depression
Seeing that the three children had finished drinking, Meng Ruoxi took the bottles to wash them, then took Wen Zhu and Wen Sheng off the bed and let them go back to their room to sleep.
The two of them left, looking back every few steps, reluctantly. Their small figures revealed a deep sense of loneliness.
Wen Jing was curled up in the quilt, looking at his mother with sparkling eyes.
Meng Ruoxi took a set of black and white bear pajamas that were exactly the same as the ones he was wearing, walked to the bed, reached out and touched his little head, "Mommy will go take a shower first, if you are sleepy, go to bed first."
Wen Jing shook his head desperately, and said firmly, "Mom, I'm not sleepy. I want to wait for you to sleep together!"
Meng Ruoxi smiled, "Okay."
She didn't dawdle, but quickly took a bath and went to bed to put the child to sleep.
In the darkness, Wen Jing smelled the fragrance emanating from his mother's body and closed his eyes with a happy look on his face.
Listening to the breathing sounds coming from her ears, Meng Ruoxi paused from patting the child's back, closed her eyes, and slowly fell asleep.
However, what she worried about happened.
Half asleep and half awake, the man's deep voice rang out, "Xixi, Wen Jing is so old now, you can't sleep with him."
I looked to the side with hazy eyes, and sure enough, the child was gone.
In an instant, Meng Ruoxi woke up.
She pushed the man next to her away and sat up from the bed. She wanted to curse at him, but after she realized what was going on, she immediately shut up and nodded calmly, "I understand."
Then I lay down again, closed my eyes, and tried to go back to sleep.
Shi Yanjin reached out and hugged her, whispering, "Do you miss me?"
His eyes darkened when his sight fell on his wife, who was wearing the same pajamas as his son.
Meng Ruoxi turned over and faced away from him, "I thought about it."
Shi Yanjin took the clothes beside her and changed them for her, chuckling softly, "How much do you miss it?"
Meng Ruoxi opened her eyes suddenly, and the impatience in her eyes just rose and then quietly retreated. She turned around and looked at him with a smile on her face. She put her hands around his neck and leaned her head against his body. Her voice was slightly nasal, "I'm so sleepy."
Shi Yanjin's hand holding the clothes moved, and he put it down silently. A smile appeared in his eyes. He stopped talking, put his arms around her waist, and coaxed her to sleep.
The next day, Wen Jing woke up and found himself in his room, feeling extremely angry.
It must be my dad who sent me back. What a bastard!
He slammed his hands on the bed, his eyes burning with raging fire.
There were only a few days left before Shi Yannan's wedding, and Meng Ruoxi and her family of five boarded a plane back home.
At night, the plane landed safely and several people got off the plane one after another.
What came into view was the eagerly awaited looks of Li Taohua and others.
Meng Ruoxi was silent for a while, not knowing how to face this big family.
Li Taohua walked up to her, her face expressionless at first, her eyes unpredictable, then she thought of something and began to smile, "Yan Jin said that you are already two months pregnant, in the next few days, you should take good care of the baby and don't make any trouble, I will still treat you the same as before."
Meng Ruoxi remained silent and had no intention of speaking.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Li Taohua turned to look at her three grandchildren and sighed, "It's been a while since we last met, and they have grown up a bit. As a mother, watching your children grow up day by day, wouldn't you be happy in your heart?"
Shi Changning came over and said with a smile, "Ruoxi, it's been a long time since we last met. You are still as beautiful as ever."
He reached out and pulled his mother behind him, "Mom, Yan Jin brought you a lot of gifts, go and take a look."
Li Taohua knew that her daughter wanted to get rid of her, so she followed her wishes and walked towards her son who was talking to her husband.
Seeing his mother gone, Shi Changning took a deep breath and said the words of guilt that had been hidden in his heart for a long time, "Ruoxi, I saw those newspapers. I have advised Yan Jin not to be impulsive before, but you should know that his feelings for you are very unusual, almost to the point of obsession. I couldn't persuade him, and I am very sorry for the harm I caused you."
As he spoke, he lowered his head deeply, seeking forgiveness for his brother's inappropriate behavior.
Meng Ruoxi listened quietly, as if she was listening to someone else's story, without any emotion in her heart.
"Sister, let the past be the past."
Lightly let it go, lightly forgive, no longer wanting to dwell on the past and add to the pain and torture.
I was also very clear in my heart that this family was already in a state of extreme vigilance towards me.
I am like a death row prisoner, being strictly guarded by them. If I do something inappropriate, I will arouse public anger.
As soon as they met, my mother-in-law criticized me.
Although my father-in-law didn't say anything, an occasional glance was enough to explain everything.
"Xixi, come here."
Over there, Shi Yanjin was calling Meng Ruoxi's name.
Shi Changning turned around and shook his head helplessly, "Ruoxi, although Yan Jin did a lot of wrong things, he really loves you."
At this moment, Meng Ruoxi only felt ridicule in her heart.
After all, she still persuaded herself to let go of the past and live a good life with her good brother who was good in every way in her eyes.
Everyone in this family has their good and bad sides, but they all love Shi Yanjin from the bottom of their hearts.
Only I am a stranger in this world from beginning to end. If I am not careful, I will be severely punished.
I have gradually lost interest in these boring days.
I also realized that I have been in a trance since yesterday. I have no expectations for life and don’t know how to go on living.
"Xixi." Without waiting for a reply, Shi Yanjin called out again.
Meng Ruoxi looked up and smiled subconsciously. She ignored Shi Changning and walked towards him.
Shi Lujing's serious expression softened, "Ruoxi, long time no see."
Meng Ruoxi nodded and called out, "Dad."
After saying this, she stood behind Shi Yanjin, like a perfect wife, relying on her husband wholeheartedly.
Several people saw her changes and were surprised.
Among them, the most surprised was Shi Yannan.
It's been just over a year since we last last saw each other, but the cold aura around her has been smoothed out a lot, becoming indifferent and ethereal, as if she would ascend to heaven at any time and disappear from this world.
Panic unconsciously welled up in my heart, and I always had some ominous premonition.
I turned my gaze to my younger brother and saw that he had turned around and was staring at his sister-in-law, as if he had noticed something.
Shi Yanchu looked at this scene with deep eyes, and when he turned to look at his wife, his expression eased a little.
I was thinking that I should find time to talk to my brother, so that nothing could happen.
The happiest people in the audience were probably the children.
Wen Mo was very happy that his younger brothers had finally returned from abroad.
After greeting each other, we started chatting.
The ones he liked to talk about the most were him and Wen Jing.
The two are of similar age and can talk to each other more.
The wedding was held in the countryside, so the group returned to the countryside.
It was no different from being abroad. Meng Ruoxi still did not have the freedom to travel alone and was still locked in the room all day.
