Chapter 96: Misunderstood Hickey and Relationship

Si Qingchen suppressed the upward curve of his lips and said seriously, "I believe you must have your own reasons. As a good friend, I naturally understand you."

I kept repeating to myself over and over again that helping my good friend escape the quagmire of marriage was my mission that could not be refused, and it was not because I had any other thoughts.

Meng Ruoxi smiled bitterly, "I do have my own reasons. This marriage has only brought me endless pain and suffering. Thank you for your willingness to help me."

Si Qingchen suddenly became nervous, "Did that man beat you? Or did he do something more horrible to you?"

After checking her up and down, he finally noticed that her lips were red and swollen, and there were many scary scars on her neck. He clenched his fists into a fist, and his affectionate peach blossom eyes were filled with red bloodshot.

"You son of a bitch! How dare he abuse you!"

Meng Ruoxi stretched out her hand to tighten the collar of her coat, with embarrassment flashing across her face. "These are not important. With your help, I will be able to escape from this sea of ​​suffering soon."

He lied without blushing or feeling any guilt.

Si Qingchen was heartbroken, "You sit here first, I'll get you some ointment."

Looking at him hurrying up the stairs, Meng Ruoxi felt a long-lost warmth in her heart.

But after a short rest, she heard footsteps coming downstairs. Si Qingchen sat down next to her, holding a medicine box and looking at her solemnly. He reached out to untie her collar. Meng Ruoxi's eyelids twitched.

The naive Si Qingchen did not understand what these marks meant and thought that Meng Ruoxi was abused by her husband.

Meng Ruoxi moved to the side and refused, "No, these marks will heal in a few days."

Si Qingchen frowned, and forcefully turned her body towards him, unscrewed the cap on the ointment, squeezed some ointment on his fingers and rubbed it on her neck, "You don't care about yourself, but I do. These numerous wounds are painful to look at, how can I not apply medicine?"

I couldn't help but complain, "It is said that girls love beauty and are afraid of pain. They are like porcelain dolls and need to be well protected. You are a girl after all, why don't you take care of your body?"

Meng Ruoxi, who is married and has three children, "..."

My current identity should be a woman.

The filters from my friends are too thick, and I feel a little weird inside.

There was a fragrant ointment all over his neck. Just as he was about to raise his hand to pull up the collar of his sweater to cover the suspicious marks, his hand was grabbed and the cuffs were pushed up.

More traces were exposed to the cold air.

As if being publicly executed, Meng Ruoxi's expression froze and she wanted to pull her hand back.

Seeing the densely packed crimson marks on his arm, Si Qingchen was furious, "How dare he hurt you like this!"

Meng Ruoxi quickly pulled her hand back, "It's getting late, I'll go back first." She stood up and wanted to leave.

The innocent boy doesn't understand what these marks mean now, but he will understand in the future. He doesn't want to expose all his shame in front of others.

Si Qingchen quickly grabbed her hand and said anxiously, "This is all that man's fault. You don't have to feel embarrassed about this. I will resolve your marriage with that man as soon as possible. If he dares to disturb you, come to me. I will make him regret coming into this world!"

Her eyelids trembled, and she looked up into his eyes, which were as clear and bright as a spring, yet full of worry. Meng Ruoxi felt mixed emotions.

I was moved, overwhelmed, and even a little evasive.

I was just taking advantage of his kindness, but he treated me sincerely from the bottom of his heart.

For the first time, I felt a little guilty for lying.

"Thank you." Thanking you can alleviate the guilt in my heart, and the smile on my face is less cold and more warm.

Si Qingchen stared blankly, and it took him a long while to come back to his senses, "Thank you for what? We are friends, I did this willingly, I don't need you to repay me, and I don't need you to thank me. I don't like you to thank me in a strange way."

Meng Ruoxi nodded, "Okay, I won't say it anymore."

In your heart, you regard the other person as a friend and count him as one of your own.

Si Qingchen smiled, his eyes shining like stars, "That's right, wait for my good news."

Meng Ruoxi nodded, "Yeah."

The two walked out hand in hand, more intimate than when they came.

When they passed by the Sixth Courtyard, the sharp-eyed old lady stopped them and said, "Are you leaving so soon? Little girl, don't you want to stay for dinner? Qingchen, your hospitality is not good enough."

"Grandma." Meng Ruoxi greeted with a faint smile.

The old lady in front of me feels very friendly, and her jokes are not offensive.

Not wanting to embarrass Meng Ruoxi, Si Qingchen smiled brightly and said, "Grandma, don't worry about it. The first time is new, the second time is familiar. I will bring Ruoxi home next time."

The old lady curled her lips and narrowed her eyes. "There are many people who want to take a beautiful girl like Ruoxi home as a daughter-in-law. Don't think that you can be careless now that you are the target. Good girls are sought after by many families. There are many people in the world who don't have martial ethics and want to pry into someone's corner."

Seeing that the old lady had misunderstood the relationship between her and Si Qingchen, Meng Ruoxi explained softly, "Grandma, you misunderstood. Qingchen and I are just friends, not the kind of relationship you think. Besides, I am five years older than him, so it is impossible for us to be together."

The old lady narrowed her eyes and smiled with a teasing look on her face. She said nonchalantly, "I am blind in my eyes but not in my heart. Don't lie to me, little girl. You two are not lovers, so why are you walking together hand in hand? It's just a five-year age difference, it's not a big deal. My husband and I are seven years apart in age."

Si Qingchen's eyes sparkled as he nodded in agreement, "Grandma is indeed seven years older than Grandpa."

Meng Ruoxi: "..."

Is the point an age issue? The point is that the two of them are not in a relationship at all.

Is Si Qingchen stupid or just stupid? Not only did he not explain, he also nodded.

Seeing that the two were still holding hands, he quickly pulled his hand back.

I used to think it was okay for a friend to hold hands, but now I’ve decided to forget it.

Si Qingchen was stunned when his hand fell empty. He quickly stopped the old lady who was about to speak, "Ruoxi is right. We are just friends. Grandma, don't talk nonsense and ruin our reputation."

Without leaving a trace, he took the hand beside him and walked forward, explaining, "Don't pay attention to grandma. She likes to worry about things when she's old. Of course I know we are good friends, and she won't have any bad intentions towards you, so you can rest assured."

The hand that I had finally held could not be disturbed by this matter.

The hand that wanted to withdraw stopped, and Meng Ruoxi nodded, "I know."

After thinking about it, Si Qingchen knew that since he had been married and had children, it was impossible for him to have any bad intentions towards her. She relaxed and let him hold her hand.

Watching the two men leave, the old lady shook her head and sighed, "What a silly boy."

I walked home at full speed to complain to my partner.

When they arrived at the gate of the compound, Si Qingchen was reluctant to leave, "Why don't I take you home?"

Meng Ruoxi refused without hesitation, "No, I can go back by myself. It would be troublesome for you to send me back and come back again."

As expected, Si Qingchen was rejected. He nodded angrily, "Then be careful on the road."

"Yeah." Meng Ruoxi turned and left.

Promise the dog man to go find him in the yard. If you don't go, who knows what he will do.

Si Qingchen didn't turn around and go back to the courtyard until Meng Ruoxi disappeared from his sight.

I still have to ask my cousin for help with the divorce, and it must be resolved as quickly as possible to prevent Ruoxi from suffering further.

A cold light flashed in his eyes, and that man had to be taught a lesson before he could feel better.

As soon as he saw his father coming back, Wen Jing looked behind him, and only saw Uncle Hei, but not his mother. He immediately threw the toy in his hand in anger and shouted.

"Dad, didn't you say you were going to bring mom back? Where is mom?"

Shi Yanjin's eyes flickered, and he felt a little guilty.

He was so focused on enjoying himself with his wife that he forgot that his son was eagerly waiting for him to bring his wife home.

Seeing that his father didn't answer his question, Wen Jing became even angrier, "Dad, did you hear me? I want to see my mother!"

Xiao Wenzhu and Xiao Wensheng, who were standing in the corner, looked disappointed.

I thought Dad could bring Mom back, but who knew that only Dad came back.

I feel sad. When will my mother come home?

He felt a little guilty at first, but when his son made a fuss, the guilt disappeared and he even felt a little dissatisfied, "This is how you talk to your dad!"

Wen Jing clenched his fists, held back his rising temper, softened his attitude, and said pitifully, "Dad promised me to bring Mom back. I miss Mom so much."

Little Wensheng bravely stepped forward and held his father's hand, pleading with his eyes, and silently said, "I miss Mom, too."

Xiao Wenzhu stood behind his brother and begged, "Dad, can you please bring Mom home? I miss Mom so much, too."

The two brothers prayed together to their heartless father.
