"I can take care of your mother, too. She can sleep in the living room."
Zhou Li didn't give him a chance. He turned around and went into their room and closed the door.
"Mom, I..."
Zhou Yanjing stood at the door of the room, his fingers unconsciously stroking the corner of his clothes, his eyes looking into the room through the crack in the door, trying to catch a glimpse of Shen Liwu's movements.
The room was quiet, with only the faint sound of footsteps coming from it, like a thin silk thread pulling at his heart.
It was late at night, and the village was dead silent except for the occasional barking of dogs.
Zhou Yanjing stood outside the door, his hands clenched into fists, his chest felt like a huge rock was pressing down on him, his breathing became heavy and rapid, the scene just now kept echoing in his mind - Shen Liwu's moist eyes, and her low and hoarse "I'll wait for you".
He knew in his heart that if he couldn't explain it clearly as soon as possible, the trust between him and Shen Liwu would be like a thin layer of ice that could break at any time.
He took a deep breath, raised his hand and knocked on the door, his voice low and restrained, "Wuwu, it's me."
There was no response from inside the house, only the sound of footsteps approaching, followed by the sound of the door latch. The door slowly opened and Zhou Li stood at the door with a frown on his face and a look of reproach and vigilance in his eyes.
"I told you to sleep in the living room tonight."
Zhou Yanjing's face darkened, and there was a hint of hidden anxiety in his voice, "Mom, I have to talk to Wuwu. She needs to know the truth."
The corners of Zhou Li's mouth trembled slightly, as if she was weighing something, but she finally shook her head, "She is in a bad mood right now, and you coming in will only make her feel worse. Let's talk about it tomorrow."
Zhou Yanjing's fingers were tightly clasped on the door frame, his knuckles bulging and veins throbbing. His eyes passed over Zhou Li's shoulder and looked into the dim corner of the room, as if he could catch the figure of Shen Liwu through the darkness.
"Come out, come out."
Zhou Li didn't give him any face and closed the door again.
After waiting for a while, she turned back to the bed when she heard that there was indeed no sound outside. "Wuwu, how is it? Did you hear everything?"
Shen Liwu nodded, “I heard everything, I believe him.”
She was just clouded by her rationality, and when she saw them hugging each other, jealousy surged in her heart.
But when she thought about the ending of her previous life, she knew she couldn't misunderstand him.
"You are just too kind. This man needs to be taught a lesson. If you don't teach him a lesson, he won't know his own worth."
Zhou Qi sighed, sat down beside the bed, held Shen Liwu's hand, and patted it gently, "However, Yan Jing has been a stable child since he was a child, unlike those who are not in tune. If you really believe in him, don't think too much, have a good rest, the child is important."
Shen Liwu nodded, her fingers gently stroking her belly which was not yet pregnant, her eyes softened, "Mom, I know. I will take good care of myself and the baby."
Zhou Qi stood up, walked to the window, lifted a corner of the curtain and looked out. After confirming that Zhou Yanjing had left, he breathed a sigh of relief, "That kid probably won't be able to sleep tonight. Let him torment him, so that he doesn't always think that he is made of iron and can withstand anything."
Shen Liwu smiled slightly, “Mom, this is the first time I’ve seen a mother-in-law who cheats her son like this.”
Zhou Qi turned around with a smug smile on his face, "This kid has been stubborn since he was young. If you don't teach him a lesson, he will really think he is capable enough."
She walked to Shen Liwu and gently pinched her cheek, "Don't feel sorry for him, let him reflect on himself. Let him worry so much, and then he will know how to love his wife in the future."
