Chapter 117 Who's Your Baby?
Shi Yuanxing waited outside for a long time, but no one came out after changing clothes, so he couldn't help but feel a little worried.
He walked to the bathroom door and gently knocked. "Zhizhi, are you alright?"
It was completely quiet inside.
No one responded.
Shi Yuanxing's face showed anxiety, "Zhizhi?"
He knocked on the door again.
There was still no response.
Did she faint inside?
Shi Yuanxing was anxious and reached out to open the door, but before he could touch the doorknob, the door opened from the inside with a "snap".
Looking up, Shi Yuanxing saw a woman standing in front of the door holding pajamas, and he was stunned.
"You..." Why didn't you change your clothes?
Shi Yuanxing had barely opened his mouth when the woman shoved the clothes in her hand into his arms and then walked towards the bed.
Quickly throw off the covers, get into bed, lie down, and cover yourself with the covers.
Watching her series of movements, Shi Yuanxing was somewhat bewildered. He quickly put his pajamas aside and walked to the bedside.
"Zhizhi, are you... alright?"
Sensing the man approaching, Qin Shuzhi immediately buried her head under the covers and mumbled, "It's nothing, I want to sleep."
"..."
But... she didn't even change out of her pajamas, wearing a tight dress, how could she sleep comfortably?
Shi Yuanxing opened his mouth as if to offer to help her change, but seeing that she had shrunk completely under the covers, he decided not to say anything in the end.
Through the blankets, Qin Shuzhi vaguely heard the man walk to the other side of the bed and get into bed. Then, he reached out and gently tidied the blankets for her.
He was still as gentle and considerate as ever towards her.
But the thought that he might be more gentle and considerate towards the woman he admires, and show her tenderness and affection, makes Qin Shuzhi feel a pang of bitterness and pain in her heart.
She didn't know if it was because her head was buried under the blanket, but she felt like she couldn't breathe properly.
Qin Shuzhi resisted imagining Shi Yuanxing's affectionate behavior towards another woman, yet she couldn't help but think about it.
How much of a place do I hold in his heart? And what is the significance of that white moonlight in his heart?
Qin Shuzhi secretly compared herself to his white moonlight in his mind for a while, but then thought, what's there to compare?
She was his legal wife, the one he would spend the rest of his life with.
Why should she care about that person's place in Shi Yuanxing's heart?
Qin Shuzhi started mentally reciting philosophical principles to herself again, trying to persuade herself to think more positively.
But as I tried to persuade her, she herself became unwilling.
No matter how reasonable the argument was, it couldn't dispel the discomfort in her heart.
She's his wife, why can't she ask?
Shi Yuanxing lay on his side beside his wife, mentally reviewing and analyzing the various possibilities that might have caused her emotional changes, when suddenly—
The person next to him suddenly pulled off the blanket, sat up, and stared straight at him.
Before Shi Yuanxing could figure out what was going on, he instinctively sat up after her. Seeing that her eyes were a little red and her face was flushed, he couldn't help but reach out and touch her cheek. "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell...?"
Qin Shuzhi pushed his hand away and asked, "Tell me, how much of your heart does she really occupy?"
"ah?"
Shi Yuanxing was somewhat bewildered by this seemingly random question.
What place does anyone hold in his heart?
What kind of nonsense are you spouting?
Startled, Shi Yuanxing quickly reached out to feel her forehead. "Do you have a fever?"
Qin Shuzhi pushed away his outstretched hand again, "I know everything. You have a goddess in your heart, and this hotel of yours was opened for her."
Shi Yuanxing was stunned for a moment, looking at her with astonishment and confusion, "How did you know?"
"Never mind how I know."
Qin Shuzhi sniffed and looked at him stubbornly, "I want you to tell me, do you still like her a lot now? What place does she really hold in your heart?"
As she spoke, she gripped the bedding tightly with all her might, as if only then would she have the strength and courage to ask the question on her mind.
After a few seconds of stunned silence, Shi Yuanxing finally realized what was going on.
She mistakenly believed that she had feelings for another woman, which was why her emotions were behaving so abnormally.
Is she... jealous?
Realizing this, Shi Yuanxing was immediately filled with excitement.
Qin Shuzhi's heart was already in turmoil after asking the question, and seeing that he didn't speak, she couldn't bear it any longer.
"Speak."
Her bluffing voice lacked power; it had a nasal quality and sounded more like she was being coquettish.
"Oh, okay, I'll tell you."
Shi Yuanxing cleared his throat and looked at her affectionately. "She occupies my whole heart. There has always only been one person in my heart."
Do you want to know who she is?
As soon as Shi Yuanxing finished speaking, he reached out to hug her, but the woman in front of him suddenly turned her back to him and lay back down.
Shi Yuanxing was a little confused by her actions, so he leaned over and tugged at the blanket. "Zhizhi?"
Qin Shuzhi gripped the blanket tightly, burying half her face in it, and muffledly said, "I don't want to know, I want to sleep."
Shi Yuanxing was both amused and exasperated. "But I haven't finished speaking yet."
He tugged at the blanket covering her face again, but the woman resisted and buried her face even deeper.
"Wife?"
Shi Yuanxing realized something was wrong, reached out and grabbed her shoulder, turning her around with a little force. "Listen to me first..."
A suppressed sob came from beneath her.
He looked down sharply and saw large tears streaming down the corners of the woman's eyes.
She cried.
Shi Yuanxing was startled and panicked for a moment, "Zhizhi..."
Qin Shuzhi didn't want him to see her embarrassing state, so she pushed him away abruptly, rolled off the bed, and rushed into the bathroom without even putting on her shoes, closing the door behind her.
This time, she didn't run around. Instead, she went straight to sit on the toilet seat, intending to hide there and cry openly. But then the bathroom door was suddenly opened with a "click".
She choked abruptly, turned her head and saw a man carrying a pair of slippers barging in.
"Who let you in?"
Qin Shuzhi didn't want him to see her in such a disheveled state, so she got up and pushed him, saying, "Get out, get out."
Shi Yuanxing's gaze fell on her bare, fair feet. "Baby, would you like to put on your shoes first?"
"It's none of your business."
Qin Shuzhi couldn't hold back her emotions any longer, "Who's your baby? You only have her in your heart, then go find her. Go away, I don't need you to take care of me..."
She became increasingly distressed as she spoke, her voice trembling with tears: "Shi Yuanxing, you bastard! This was supposed to be my honeymoon, why did you bring me to this hotel..."
Why did he bring her to stay in the room he had prepared for another woman?
"Sweetie, put on your shoes, let's go outside to talk, okay?"
Afraid that she would catch a cold, Shi Yuanxing didn't bother to explain and reached out to hug her.
"Don't hug me, I'm not going out."
The woman, who usually lets him hold her obediently, was wriggling and slippery like an eel today. She twisted away from his arms in a few moments, then turned around and ran over to sit on the toilet seat, turning her face away forcefully so as not to look at him.
This was the first time Shi Yuanxing had ever seen her like this; she looked just like a child throwing a tantrum.
After a moment of silence, he turned and left.
Hearing the noise, Qin Shuzhi's long eyelashes trembled. She turned around and saw that the man had left without even trying to comfort her. A sudden wave of bitterness washed over her, and she couldn't help but cover her face and cry.
