Chapter 52 It's too late, Shen Yichen, you should leave your wedding room to someone else.
Her words struck Shen Yichen like a blow to the head, making him sway involuntarily.
"No, it's not for saving face, I... I just want to give you the best."
He hurriedly denied and explained, then suddenly grabbed Qin Shuzhi's arm, adopting a more submissive attitude, "If you don't like it, I can change the address. Wherever you like to live, we'll choose a new wedding home, okay?"
Talking to Qin Shuzhi is really tiring now; she feels like she's killing countless brain cells.
"It's too late, Shen Yichen. You should leave your wedding room to someone else."
She shook off his hand and told him very seriously, "My wedding room, the home I want, has already been given to me by someone else."
Shen Yichen's eyes were bloodshot, and his voice was hoarse, "You clearly love me, how could you marry someone else?"
"I don't love you anymore."
Qin Shuzhi said clearly and resolutely.
I don't believe it.
Shen Yichen roared hysterically, "You've loved me for three years, no, five years, you've liked me for five years, how could you fall in love with someone else in the blink of an eye? That's impossible."
"Yes, how can a person's heart turn cold all at once?"
In contrast to his agitation, Qin Shuzhi remained calm, only giving a mocking smirk, "You've gradually worn away my feelings for you."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yichen's breath hitched.
“You used to be assertive and aloof, but I just thought it was your personality. It’s okay, we can work things out slowly, and I can be as tolerant of you as possible.”
Qin Shuzhi looked at him, speaking calmly as if she were talking about someone else's affairs, "Until Zhou Siyan returned to the country, and you hurt me time and time again without any scruples for her sake, I realized that you are not cold-hearted, nor do you not know how to love; you just don't love me..."
Shen Yichen's face turned deathly pale. He shook his head violently and said in a panic, "No, it's not like that, Xiaozhi, I love..."
“Shen Yichen, if you know me even a little, you should know that I’m someone who can’t tolerate any injustice,” Qin Shuzhi interrupted him.
"I can tolerate your bad temper, but that doesn't mean I can tolerate your infidelity."
"I……"
Shen Yichen wanted to say that he hadn't cheated, but the scene of Zhou Siyan lying between his legs that night suddenly flashed through his mind, and he instantly... lost his confidence.
She even felt guilty and dared not look Qin Shuzhi in the eye.
But soon, hope suddenly rekindled in his eyes. "Xiao Zhi, you're telling me all this because you hate Zhou Siyan and want her to leave, right? Fine, fine, I'll make her leave right now. I'll make her disappear from your sight forever. Is that okay?"
He could let Zhou Siyan go abroad if she was willing to come back to him.
Qin Shuzhi looked at him speechlessly and corrected him, "I said all this because I want you to disappear from my sight forever."
"..."
The hope in Shen Yichen's eyes suddenly froze.
"Shen Yichen, my final act of leniency and respect for you is to become complete strangers from now on," Qin Shuzhi said. "I will not forgive you, but I will not cause you any trouble, and I do not need any compensation from you."
"My only request is that you stop disturbing my life and stop harassing my husband. Otherwise, I will only hate you more."
That's all I have to say.
After Qin Shuzhi finished speaking, she picked up her bag and left with Qi Yishan.
Only Shen Yichen remained in the room, standing there blankly and dejectedly, without making a sound for a long time.
After leaving the teahouse, Qi Yishan kept professing her innocence to Qin Shuzhi, "I swear, this really has nothing to do with me. Ever since that incident, I've kept my phone tightly under my arm every time I see him, and I didn't tell him a word about our meeting today..."
Qin Shuzhi said, "I know, he must have followed me here."
After all, he had visited the Shi Group at noon.
With the date ruined, Qin Shuzhi lost interest in continuing and headed home.
Back at Yushui Bay, she stopped by the supermarket and bought some fresh vegetables to take home.
After she got home, she saw the WeChat message sent by Shi Yuanxing.
[Is it fun going with your best friend?]
Qin Shuzhi sent a cat emoji that said "Baby is speechless".
Shi Yuanxing replied instantly: "What's wrong with the baby?"
Qin Shuzhi: [Don't even mention it. I just went for tea with Yi San, and Shen Yichen ran in.]
Less than three seconds after the message was sent, Shi Yuanxing called.
As soon as the call connected, a deep, tense voice came through the phone, "Shen Yichen came to see you again? Did he do anything to you?"
"No, I won't give him that chance."
Qin Shuzhi recounted what had just happened to him.
"My main purpose was to make things clear to him and tell him not to bother our lives anymore."
"What was his reaction?" Shi Yuanxing asked.
"He's such an arrogant person. I've made myself so clear. I guess he won't come here to humiliate himself again."
After she said that, Shi Yuanxing didn't say anything more and changed the subject, "So where did you go to play afterwards?"
"I'm home."
Speaking of this, Qin Shuzhi's tone became cheerful, "I just went to the supermarket to buy groceries, I'm going to cook you something delicious tonight, what time will you be back?"
Shi Yuanxing's voice was gentle and tinged with laughter, "I'll definitely be home before six o'clock."
"good."
*
Shi Yuanxing arrived home before 5:30.
He walked in quietly and saw the woman standing in front of the sink in the kitchen, the water gushing out, and she was intently washing something.
Looking at that slender figure, Shi Yuanxing's eyes filled with tenderness, and he couldn't help but walk over and hug her from behind.
"What are you washing?"
After he finished speaking, he turned his head and saw that she had her hands under the tap, the backs of her hands were covered with red scratches, and she was still scratching herself vigorously.
Shi Yuanxing's expression tightened, and he quickly pulled her hand over. "What's wrong?"
"I don't know, it's so itchy."
Seeing that she was about to scratch again, Shi Yuanxing quickly grabbed her hand, then looked around and saw some ingredients for stewing soup on the side, including a piece of peeled yam in one of the plates.
Shi Yuanxing paused for a moment, then asked in astonishment, "You... you just peeled the yam with your hands?"
"Yes." Qin Shuzhi looked up at him blankly. "Is there a problem?"
Looking at her hands, which were scratched red, Shi Yuanxing felt both sorry for her and wanted to laugh. "Silly girl, you can't touch yams directly with your hands."
As he spoke, he reached for the white vinegar on the shelf and then wiped it on her red and swollen skin.
"Huh? Why?" Qin Shuzhi asked, her face full of questions.
As Shi Yuanxing carefully wiped her skin, he explained, "The saponins in the yam peel and the plant alkaloids in its mucus are both itch-inducing components; skin will itch when it comes into contact with these."
Qin Shuzhi stared wide-eyed in astonishment, “…Is that so?”
She really didn't know that.
She doesn't usually like to eat yams, but when she was in the hospital, a nurse told her that yams can improve blood circulation and boost energy, and can effectively alleviate dizziness caused by concussion. So when she saw them at the supermarket today, she bought some to make soup for him.
This was the first time she had ever tried to tinker with this thing herself, and she thought it would be the same as peeling a carrot.
"Are you feeling better?" Shi Yuanxing asked.
"Hmm, it seems... not so itchy anymore."
Qin Shuzhi looked at her reddened hand and muttered, "I really don't know if it's medicine or poison. I haven't even taken any yet, and I'm already suffering from it."
Shi Yuanxing looked at the woman pouting, suppressed a laugh, and said with righteous indignation:
"Whether it's medicine, poison, or demons and monsters, if it dares to bully my wife, we'll wipe it all out in a bit and avenge you."
Qin Shuzhi was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing.
His teasing made her feel less embarrassed and annoyed.
Seeing that her mood had improved, Shi Yuanxing filled a basin with warm water, pulled her to the living room, and had her sit on the sofa to soak her hands to relieve the itching.
Then he went into the kitchen, changed into an apron, and cooked himself.
