A few minutes later, Si Mingda came out of the bathroom. As soon as he walked into the room, he keenly noticed that the atmosphere in the room was a little wrong. Wang Mudan was leaning against the head of the bed with a dazed expression, and his mobile phone was thrown casually on the bed. It was obvious that Wang Mudan had looked at his mobile phone.
Ever since he and Luo Yingtao went on a date last Sunday and someone secretly took photos of them and sent them to Wang Mudan, they had a big fight and have been in a cold war for the past few days. Apart from work at the company, they rarely communicate privately, and the very little communication at home is also conveyed by the children.
The night outside the window was very desolate, and the atmosphere in the room was very dull. Wang Mudan's gloomy face made Simingda's heart tremble suddenly: "Did she look at my phone?"
Wang Mudan never checked his phone before, so he never deliberately hid it. But the situation was different today, and her expression gave him an abnormal answer.
After all, he had something to hide. In a hurry, he rushed over and picked up the phone, shouting at Wang Mudan: "Why are you checking my phone? This is an invasion of my privacy, do you understand?"
Wang Mudan, uncharacteristically, retorted, "We've been together for fifteen years. What privacy do we have left? If you haven't done anything wrong, why would you be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door?"
"Wang Mudan, I'm warning you. Don't think that just because your mother gave me a few hundred yuan for the bus fare, I owe you money. To be honest, it's my freedom to contact whoever I want, and you have no right to interfere."
Si Mingda said coldly that in his eyes, Wang Mudan was only the mother of his child and his wife in name, but not the lover in his heart. He was used to speaking flattering words to her.
"Does that include your old lover? I can't ask about it, right? Am I still your wife?"
Wang Mudan pressed on unexpectedly. She would never have thought that all her flattery and tolerance over the years not only failed to win his true love, but instead she suffered his ruthless betrayal. No matter how tolerant she was, there had to be a bottom line for everything, right?
"Luo Yingtao and I just met for dinner, can you please stop talking about it?"
After all, Wang Mudan was his legal wife. Simingda felt somewhat guilty about dating Luo Yingtao, but he was too strong-willed to admit his mistake easily. "Wang Mudan, don't push your luck. It's better for both sides to leave some space. Don't think I don't know about what's going on between you and Zhang Muquan. When have I ever interfered with your freedom?"
"Zhang Muquan and I haven't seen each other since graduation. Unlike you, you are so shameless. You are the father of three children, but you are still involved with Luo Yingtao. I feel sorry for you." Wang Mudan retorted with a needle-like look.
Because they were arguing so loudly, they woke up the nanny and the three children. The eldest daughter, Si Jiali, walked in. The little girl looked at her parents, whose faces were red with anger, and asked, "Dad, Mom, what are you arguing about?"
Wang Mudan quickly calmed down when she saw her daughter coming over, and said lovingly, "Jia Li, I'm discussing work with Dad. Children shouldn't interfere in adult matters. Go and sleep with your brother and sister."
"No, I want you to calm down and stop quarreling. Quarreling will make you get wrinkles and age faster." Si Jiali said naively.
The child's persuasion made Simingda and Wang Mudan feel guilty. Simingda stepped forward and patted his daughter's hand, saying, "You still have to go to school tomorrow. Go to bed early. Mom and Dad are not arguing."
"I just heard you arguing. Aunt Zhou, my brother and sister are all awake. Don't you and mom have to go to work tomorrow? Why don't you go to sleep?"
"Okay, baby, Daddy's voice is just a little loud, I'm sorry, please speak more quietly next time, okay?" In front of the child, Simingda still behaved very lovingly.
At this time, the nanny Aunt Zhou came in holding little Aidan. She had heard Simingda and Wang Mudan arguing a long time ago, and came in to persuade them: "Mingda, it's so late, why are you still arguing with Mudan? Go to bed early."
Simingda hugged his son and kissed him, then said lovingly, "Dandan, aren't you asleep yet?"
Little Aidan couldn't speak yet. He stared at his father with his lovely eyes and smiled with his little mouth open: "Daddy, tap, tap, Mommy..." he kept mumbling.
Simingda's heart melted at his son's cute little face, and he couldn't help but kiss him all over the face.
"He just took a nap. How can the children sleep if you make such a loud noise?" Aunt Zhou complained.
"Oh, okay, you guys go to bed early, we have to sleep too."
Just as they were talking, their second daughter Si Jiahui came in wearing thin pajamas. She wiped her sleepy eyes and called out, "Auntie, Mom..."
Wang Mudan quickly pulled her second daughter over and carried her to the bed, saying, "Why didn't you put on a coat before coming out? Don't catch a cold."
"Mom, I couldn't sleep because I heard you guys arguing. Auntie, sister and brother are not in the room, so I came to find you." Si Jiahui said in a baby voice.
"Okay, baby, mom and dad are not arguing. We are discussing something. Go back to your room and get some rest. You have to go to school tomorrow."
"Please carry me to sleep. I want to sleep with my mother."
"Hey, come on, mommy will take you to sleep together."
Wang Mudan held her second daughter, Aunt Zhou held little Aidan, and Si Mingda took her eldest daughter to the children's room.
"Jia Li, Jia Hui, you two should go to sleep first. You have to get up early to go to school tomorrow."
"Okay, Dad, Mom, you should go to bed early too." Si Jiahui said obediently, and the two daughters obediently got into bed. Wang Mudan sat by the bed and gently patted the second daughter's back, whispering, "Good baby, go to bed early."
Aunt Zhou put little Aidan in the rocking cradle and rocked her gently: "Little Aidan, it's time to sleep, dear baby. Sleep well and grow taller."
Si Mingda silently watched the heartwarming scene in front of him, and his heart was deeply touched. If he and Wang Mudan had a harmonious relationship, there would be no doubt that they would be an enviable happy family, with sons, daughters, and careers. The so-called "five sons and daughters" were all complete. For him, who was penniless at the beginning, to achieve such an achievement was already a great success, and he should cherish it.
Unfortunately, there are no assumptions in life, and he cannot abandon his selfish thoughts. If he had not reunited with Luo Yingtao, his heart might still be filled with all the members of this family, but reality played an ironic joke on him. Not only did he reunite with Luo Yingtao, but he also couldn't forget her in his heart. That feeling made him unable to tell lies. He was addicted to the feeling of being with her. Whenever he thought of her beautiful and charming smile, his whole body and mind melted. This woman was the poison of his life, and she had already taken up residence in his heart. As to whether it was his destined disaster, he could not find the answer yet.
He knew very well that betraying Wang Mudan would be like hurting the family. He was conflicted. He couldn't bear to leave his children, but he couldn't free himself from his selfish desires. What should he do next? He was extremely conflicted.
After coaxing the three children to sleep, Wang Mudan and Si Mingda returned to their room. The couple, who had been arguing fiercely just now, fell into an awkward silence with heavy hearts and knowing what was going on.
