Mingsi soon filled my bowl with dishes, and I smiled at him gratefully.
Little did I know that this eye contact between Mingsi and I made Tang Jun even more uncomfortable.
As I was concentrating on eating, Tang Jun casually asked, "By the way, Lan Shan, how are you and Lu Zhiyuan doing now? I heard you were in the hospital. Didn't Lu Zhiyuan go to the hospital to accompany you during this time?"
My hand holding the chopsticks paused, and I raised my head to look at Tang Jun. I don’t know if it was my illusion, but I clearly felt that Tang Jun was looking for trouble.
Does she hate me that much?
Ming Si then tutted his words and scolded Tang Jun: "Don't be disrespectful, call me 'sister'."
Tang Jun murmured in response, and it was obvious that she was reluctant. I didn't want to see her embarrassed, so I took the initiative to smooth things over and said, "It's okay. The age difference between us is not that big. It's up to you to call me whatever you want."
"That won't do. Calling me 'sister' is the only way to be intimate." Mingsi turned to look at me, his eyes becoming more serious. "By the way, I heard that Lu Zhiyuan is your husband. You two have been married for a long time, right? Why didn't I see him when I went to the hospital?"
Lu Zhiyuan and I are husband and wife. This is not a secret, and it is normal for Mingsi to hear about it.
But Mingsi didn’t know that Lu Zhiyuan and I were in such a bad relationship and were going through the divorce process.
I smiled at Mingsi and said perfunctorily, "Lu Zhiyuan is very busy at the company, so he can't stay by my side all the time."
Hearing what I said, Mingsi finally breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in understanding, but he still advised me earnestly: "Husband and wife should care about each other. It's good for a man to be ambitious, but if he neglects you for work, we can't let this be aggrieved."
I smiled awkwardly and nodded, lowering my eyes to hide my guilt.
It’s not that I don’t want to tell Mingsi the truth, but today is the first day of recognizing my relatives. I really don’t want to tell Mingsi about my bloody marriage, and I don’t want her to worry about me.
But Tang Jun knew what happened between Lu Zhiyuan and me, and she had no intention of letting me go.
Tang Jun obviously mentioned it deliberately, and said in a tone that seemed to be thinking of me: "Sister, I actually think Lu Zhiyuan is quite good. When you were pregnant, he didn't care that he wasn't the biological father of the child, which shows that he still has feelings for you. With a man like this, maybe you don't have to insist on divorcing him..."
"Junjun, what are you talking about?" Tang Jun was interrupted by Mingsi before she could finish her words.
Then, Mingsi looked at me with shocked eyes and asked, "Is what Junjun just said true? If the child's biological father is not Lu Zhiyuan, then who is it?"
I was speechless for a moment, not because I was stumped by the question, but because I suddenly remembered the unborn child.
I finally made up my mind to keep the child at all costs, but the child still left me.
A strong pain spread from my heart, and I couldn't help but redden my eyes.
Mingsi saw my expression at this moment, and immediately felt heartache in his eyes.
Mingsi held my hand and said self-reproachfully, "It's all Mom's fault. I shouldn't have brought up this topic and made you sad."
Mingsi comforted me and changed the subject: "Don't think about those unhappy things. The most important thing for you now is to take care of your health."
As he spoke, Mingsi placed a bowl of chicken soup in front of me, and when I looked up, I met Tang Jun's jealous gaze.
