Looking at the shocking scene in front of her, Ma Hui frowned, and immediately pulled Shen Rongrong back a step with anxiety on her face, complaining!
"Didn't I tell you that she's married? Why are you doing all this?"
"It's been over a month, and I haven't seen your husband, Rongrong."
Shen Lingfeng raised his chin and smiled, making it clear that he did not believe that Shen Rongrong had a husband, and there was a hint of disapproval in his eyes.
"Even if there is, so what? This is not ancient times where we have to be faithful to one person. What's the point of having a man who doesn't show up for a month? Marry me instead, and all my jade properties will be yours. You can do whatever you want with them."
Ge Mei's eyes were fixed on the beautiful white jade Buddha statue in front of her, her face full of amazement and envy, and she couldn't help but whispered in agreement: "To be honest...if it were me, I would consider remarrying. How much wealth does it take to propose with such a thing!"
When Ma Hui heard what Ge Mei said, she immediately turned around and glared at her fiercely. Then she rolled her eyes and reached out to pinch Ge Mei's arm. She whispered angrily, "I'll tell your old Wu when I get back that you are not firm in your position. Let him criticize you!"
Ge Mei was pinched and cried out "Ouch" and quickly retracted her arms, an awkward smile on her face. She chuckled twice and then quickly closed her mouth, not daring to speak again.
Shen Rongrong was indeed stunned by the jade Buddha.
She stood there, staring at the white jade Buddha, her eyes wide open and an expression of disbelief on her face.
After a while, two drops of saliva actually flowed from the corners of her mouth.
This look confused Shen Lingfeng: "Rongrong?" What does drooling mean.
Shen Rongrong realized that she was a foodie and her face turned red instantly. She lowered her head in panic and raised her hand to wipe away the crystal at the corner of her mouth.
She secretly blamed herself for being so useless and organized her words. Then she slowly raised her head again, an apologetic smile on her face, and spoke slowly.
"Brother Lingfeng, I'm sorry, I can't accept your confession. I already have a husband, and he's the only one in my heart. This white jade Buddha is beautiful, but it can't be a witness to the fate between us. I'm very grateful for your feelings for me, and I hope we can remain friends."
A trace of disappointment flashed across Shen Lingfeng's eyes, and a look of disappointment appeared on his face. But soon, he regained his composure.
He stood up, brushed off the dust on his knees, and nodded slightly with regret: "Okay, Rongrong, I understand. I wish you and your husband happiness. This white jade Buddha is my gift to you."
"No. I can't carry it. You should take it back." Shen Rongrong shook her head slightly and rejected Shen Lingfeng's gift in a firm tone.
After saying that, she gently pulled her two sisters and turned to leave the market.
Only Shen Lingfeng and the white jade Buddha were left standing in the distance.
Shen Lingfeng's eyes revealed reluctance and confusion. He didn't understand why Shen Rongrong was so loyal to a husband who never showed up when she needed him.
I even suspect that she doesn't have a so-called husband at all, and it's just a fabricated shield.
He turned around with a sullen face and waved to a few younger brothers who usually followed him.
"Brother!" The younger brothers immediately ran over and stood in front of him respectfully.
Shen Lingfeng gritted his teeth, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and said, "Go check what's going on with that woman."
The younger brothers took the order and began to inquire about Shen Rongrong's situation.
…
After rejecting Shen Lingfeng's deliberately designed grand proposal, Shen Rongrong was picking out vegetables in the market as if nothing had happened.
Ma Hui followed Shen Rongrong, her expression full of worry, and couldn't help but say, "Rongrong, Shen Lingfeng doesn't seem to have good intentions. You did the right thing. Now that you're married, you have to be loyal to the marriage... I don't think he will give up in the future, so you have to hold on."
Ge Mei also nodded with an expression of approval on his face.
"Yes, Rongrong. But that white jade Buddha is really beautiful. If it were me, I might be a little tempted."
"Is it about the white jade Buddha?" Ma Hui is older, so she sees things more deeply than young people about relationships: "He was attracted by Rongrong's ability to choose jade, which would help his career, or Rongrong is smart. Even if she gave the jade Buddha to her, she couldn't take it away. It was just a cover to put someone on the spot!"
Ge Mei shrugged honestly. "But the Jade Buddha is just very beautiful. Just beautiful."
Ma Hui was speechless and wanted to pinch her a few more times.
Shen Rongrong smiled and said, "You guys, stop imagining. The relationship between Chen Yu and I cannot be shaken by a jade Buddha~"
Ma Hui remembered that she had also drooled because of the jade Buddha before. Although she didn’t understand what it meant, she would occasionally make this expression when she saw Rongrong selecting jade.
Suddenly, he asked whimsically, "What if he gives you ten statues?"
"Ten?" Shen Rongrong frowned slightly, a thoughtful look on her face.
If it were in the world of immortal cultivation, she would actually be very tempted.
If they could pull back a piece of jade that big, it would be enough for the entire snail clan to absorb for several days.
But here, she can have a means to make a living and have enough raw stones to eat, and secondly, she has to repay Chen Yu's debt of love. This is unacceptable.
So, after a brief consideration, Shen Rongrong shook her head regretfully: "Even a hundred won't do."
Sometimes, some of her thoughts and choices are difficult for normal people, including Ma Hui and Ge Mei, to understand.
Listening to the vegetable vendors around her shouting loudly to attract customers, Shen Rongrong was in a particularly good mood. She looked at potatoes, cabbages, and other vegetables, with a bright smile on her face all the time.
In fact, Shen Rongrong likes the vegetable market, and she likes the fresh smell of vegetables and the smell of soil in the air. That smell makes her feel like she is back home.
The three of them continued walking in the market until they passed a fish stall.
The stall owner was a dark-skinned middle-aged man who was shouting, "Fresh fish, just caught from the river, big and fat, come and buy some!"
Ma Hui looked at the lively fish and thought it was time to change the unpleasant topic, and said to Shen Rongrong with a smile.
"Why don't we buy a fish? When the man is not at home, we always make do with what we have. This time, the three of us will eat one fish. Ge Mei will take your two little ones and give them some food as well."
Ge Mei also thought this was a good idea. She nodded and said, "Okay, I haven't eaten fish for a long time!"
Shen Rongrong also agreed with this plan. She smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, let's buy one."
However, before they could get close, the strong smell of fish came.
When Shen Rongrong smelled this smell, she immediately felt nauseous. Her face turned pale and her brows knitted tightly.
Finally, he couldn't hold back the churning in his stomach, so he covered his mouth, turned around and quickly ran to the side, spitting out a mouthful of clear water with a "wow".
Ma Hui quickly supported her, patted Shen Rongrong's back worriedly, and asked anxiously, "What happened?"
The youngest child in Ge Mei's family was only two years old, and this scene seemed to have happened just yesterday.
She looked at the pale Shen Rongrong and couldn't help but ask doubtfully: "Rongrong, you are not... pregnant, are you?"
Shen Rongrong pursed her lips and nodded, agreeing with their speculation.
"Yeah...but it's weird, I didn't vomit before."
"Really? You're really pregnant?"
They both looked at her belly in surprise.
Ge Mei asked tremblingly: "How long?"
Shen Rongrong laughed and said, "It's been almost three months, right?"
"Three..." Ge Mei suddenly remembered that she had kicked her pelvis in a hurry last month, and she gasped in shock: "I also..."
