Chapter 42 Chapter 42 Wife
Lin Manshu hadn't returned yet, leaving only Grandma Ruan and Ruan Lingyu at home. Ruan Lingyu sarcastically said, "I thought you'd forgotten this family now that you'd married into a wealthy family. It's been so long, and you didn't even come home to see Grandma."
Ruan Xiangyi didn't want to argue with her.
Auntie held Ruan Shuyu in her arms, and Grandma Ruan played with him using a rattle, and no longer helped Ruan Lingyu speak as she did before.
Ruan Xiangyi called Lin Manshu and told her that she had returned to the Ruan family. Two hours later, Lin Manshu came back.
She rushed back just after finishing her hair and saw that only Ruan Xiangyi was there, so she asked, "Where's Zhao Qingshi? Why are you alone?"
Ruan Xiangyi said: "I suddenly wanted to come back and didn't tell him."
"Would you like to stay for dinner tonight?" Lin Manshu said, "I'll tell Auntie to prepare a few dishes you like, and ask Zhao Qingshi to come along."
"I don't want to eat anymore." Ruan Xiangyi pulled her aside, "I want to tell you something."
Seeing that her expression was not right, Lin Manshu thought that she had a conflict with Zhao Qingshi. Ever since Ruan Xiangyi married into the Zhao family, she finally had a real backer in this family.
Lin Manshu pulled her upstairs, closed the door, and looked nervous: "What do you want from me?"
The words were on the tip of her tongue but she didn't know how to start. After all, they had been together for so many years and she knew that Lin Manshu actually cared about this relationship.
"It's okay, I just want to know how you and Uncle Ruan are doing lately."
"Didn't you have a conflict with Zhao Qingshi?"
"no."
"You damned child." Lin Manshu breathed a sigh of relief. "You called me back in such a hurry just to ask me this?"
"Mom, did you have a fight with Uncle Ruan?" Ruan Xiangyi tried to test him.
"No, we're fine." Lin Manshu asked, "Why are you asking this?"
"Just ask."
"You really didn't quarrel with Zhao Qingshi?"
“…”
Ruan Xiangyi was silent for three seconds, then spoke carefully: "I've been having some minor issues with him lately, so I came over to ask how you and Uncle Ruan are getting along."
"Your Uncle Ruan and I never argue. Between husband and wife, the first thing is to learn to communicate, find out the problem, and solve it together. Then you can live together."
"What if one party committed a principled offense?"
"What's the principle issue?"
"It's just..." Ruan Xiangyi was silent for a moment, "cheating or something."
"Zhao Qingshi cheated on his wife?" Lin Manshu frowned, realizing the seriousness of the problem.
"No, no, he didn't cheat. I was just using an analogy."
"Ruan Xiangyi, you called me back for no apparent reason and now you're asking me such a strange question. Are you hiding something from me?"
"I'm not hiding anything from you. I have a classmate who got married right after graduation. But not long after the marriage, her husband cheated on her. I'm a little scared. What if the same thing happened to me?" Ruan Xiangyi fluttered her eyelashes. "I want to ask you first, what should you do if you encounter such a thing?"
"Xiangyi, if this really happens to you, Mom will definitely support you in getting a divorce." This was the first time Lin Manshu had spoken to her seriously about this matter. "Although Mom really hopes you'll stay with Zhao Qingshi, if he really does something like this, I won't let him go. You should divorce me if you deserve it, and take the property you deserve. Don't ever let yourself get hurt, okay? A man who cheats once will do it countless times."
After asking this question, Ruan Xiangyi thought that Lin Manshu might persuade her to compromise for the sake of the children, but she didn't expect that she would support her divorce.
Ruan Xiangyi felt a little sad. In fact, Lin Manshu had always loved her in other ways.
She felt extremely uncomfortable when she thought about Ruan Fu betraying Lin Manshu.
"Mom, if Uncle Ruan cheated on you, would you divorce him?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the surroundings fell into dead silence.
"I won't. I've been with him for so many years, I can't just give up my position to someone else for nothing." Lin Manshu said, "You're marrying into the Zhao family as the daughter of the Ruan family, and Mom will protect this identity for you. Xiangyi, there's one thing you have to admit. If you weren't the daughter of the Ruan family, even if you were pregnant with Zhao Qingshi's child, the Zhao family wouldn't allow him to marry you. Then the child in your belly would be an illegitimate child with no status or status."
These words woke her up like a hammer.
On the way back, Ruan Xiangyi kept thinking about Lin Manshu's words. She felt that she shouldn't be so pessimistic, but she also seemed to think that she was right.
She was in a bad mood. The stomach is the organ of emotion. She only ate half a bowl of rice for dinner. Zhao Qingshi came home late these days. Usually, when he came back, she would leave the light on in the bedroom waiting for him. Today, she went to bed early.
Zhao Qingshi went to the next room to take a shower. He lay down on the bed quietly for fear of waking her up. As soon as he lay down, a warm body came up and hugged him.
Zhao Qingshi immediately put his arm around her shoulders and asked in a low voice, "Did I wake you up?"
The person in his arms shook his head: "Not asleep."
Sensing that she was worried, Zhao Qingshi brushed her hair away, revealing her fair face: "Are you in a bad mood? Or are you having trouble at work?"
Ruan Xiangyi shook her head: "It might be the progesterone problem, so I'm in a bad mood."
Zhao Qingshi hugged her tightly: "Thank you for your hard work."
"Zhao Qingshi, I have a question for you."
"Um."
"Don't be angry."
"Hmm?" Zhao Qingshi realized something was wrong after hearing her last words. "What's the problem?"
“…”
"Will you cheat?"
“…”
“…”
Three seconds later, Zhao Qingshi laughed angrily.
It was so creepy that Ruan Xiangyi covered herself with the quilt again: "I'm sorry, I was just talking nonsense."
She was provoked by Ruan Fu and blurted out this question. She knew that this question was full of insults to Zhao Qingshi.
"Tell me, who gave you the sudden inspiration to ask such a question?" Zhao Qingshi pulled her head out of the quilt like a carrot, staring at her with a half-smile. "Is it the guy you met at the hotel last time? Did you go to the hotel to catch the scumbag again today? And I'm the scumbag again?"
“…”
“…”
“…”
Ruan Xiangyi was embarrassed: "How come you still remember that incident..."
"I remember more than just that incident." Zhao Qingshi sneered, "I also remember you staring at that scumbag's body for a long time. Why, it looked good?"
“…”
“…”
“…”
"Not long..."
"That means I saw it."
“…”
"Of course you'll see it if I record the video."
"Does it look good?"
"It's not pretty, not as pretty as yours."
Zhao Qingshi was successfully pleased by her words and curled his lips in joy.
"Tell me, why do you suddenly ask such a question?"
"...I have a classmate who got married right after graduation, but not long after the marriage, her husband cheated on her..." Ruan Xiangyi felt guilty, "I was just reminded of something emotional, there's nothing else to it."
"What a..." Zhao Qingshi hummed, "The scene brought back memories."
“…”
"I'm sorry, I really didn't mean anything else."
"The fact that you can ask such a question shows that the main responsibility lies with me." In the darkness, Zhao Qingshi held hers with his eyes, staring at her and saying, "Is it because I don't give you enough sense of security that you feel uneasy?"
Ruan Xiangyi: "Really not, I was just asking casually."
Zhao Qingshi disagreed. He unlocked his phone and handed it to her: "You can look through my phone. Apart from necessary work, there is no chat record with any woman."
“…”
"I'm just asking casually."
Zhao Qingshi ignored her and grabbed her hand, clicking through his call logs, text messages, and any app that could receive messages. Finally, he clicked on his favorite social media app. Scrolling down, he saw a sea of male profile pictures. Oh, there was one, a pink one with no comments. His fingertips paused, reading her thoughts. He guided her finger inside, "This is Li Wenyin. Look, I've never replied to any of her messages. If you're worried, I can delete her right now."
Indeed, Li Wenyin sent many messages, but Zhao Qingshi didn't even reply with an "oh".
After exiting the chat page, Ruan Xiangyi saw that his profile picture was a kitten avatar, and it was her. His note for her was: Wife.
"Okay, no need to look." Ruan Xiangyi pushed his hand away, "I believe you."
"You mean you didn't believe me just now?"
“…”
"No, I always believed in you." But after looking through his phone, I felt a lot more at ease.
"But I don't quite believe you now." Listen to him.
“…”
Ruan Xiangyi entered the password in front of him and unlocked it for him: "You can check it."
A hint of surprise flashed in Zhao Qingshi's eyes.
"Then I saw it?" He was still frightened after the last incident. "You showed it to me yourself. You won't argue with me this time, will you?"
Ruan Xiangyi nodded: "But you are not allowed to delete me as a friend."
With permission, Zhao Qingshi clicked into her social software. Her social circle was much cleaner than his, with only the same few people coming and going. Noticing a familiar avatar, he clicked in and looked at the chat time. On New Year's Eve, Shen Huaimeng actually sent her a Happy New Year message?
Zhao Qingshi frowned, but Ruan Xiangyi didn't reply to him, and she hasn't replied until now, which made him feel a lot better.
He exited and looked for his profile picture. When he saw the note she had made, the corners of his lips straightened a little.
He clicked on the homepage and quickly changed it. He handed the phone back to her: "I trust you too."
Ruan Xiangyi closed her eyes and asked him to put the phone aside. She was sleepy and her eyelids began to twitch.
Zhao Qingshi kissed her on the lips and fell asleep holding her.
Ruan Xiangyi didn't discover until noon the next day that Zhao Qingshi had changed his notes.
Changed to: Husband.
It is also set to be pinned.
This person is really...
Ruan Xiangyi smiled helplessly. Sometimes, this man's childishness exceeded his actual age.
