"What do you need so much money for? I don't have that much. Why don't you ask mom for it?"
Qin Li said this as she hugged the bag in her arms, as if she was afraid that Wang Wenbin would snatch it away from her.
"Then give me as much as you have first, okay?"
"I have more than 30 yuan on me. What do I need to spend if I give it to you? Why don't you ask mom for it?"
Qin Li suddenly couldn't bear to leave. She stood up and prepared to go back to the house with her bag.
In order to appear generous in front of Zhou Xue, Wang Wenbin asked his mother for money twice this month.
No matter how thick-skinned you are, you'd be embarrassed to ask your mother for the third time.
Seeing Qin Li was about to leave, 놛 quickly stood up, grabbed Qin Li's shoulders, and pushed her to sit on the sofa again.
Then he pulled her into his arms, put his arms around her, and held Qin Li in his arms.
"I'm an adult now, how can I still ask my mother for money? Lili, you are my wife, and we are a couple. Husband and wife should share the good and the bad.
You said that I am a grown man and I can't take out a penny from my pocket when I go out. What will my friends think of me? "
"What do you think of your relationship with me? I don't associate with you. If you feel embarrassed, then don't mix with you.
I have long advised you not to hang out with your bad friends. Look at who they are. They just follow you around and eat and drink for free."
Qin Li didn't like Wang Wenbin's friends. When they just got married, they were still in the honeymoon period. Wang Wenbin wanted to take Qin Li to meet those friends, but Qin Li rejected them all.
She wants to be with you and is not interested in any of your friends.
"You know what? Which man doesn't have three or five friends who eat and drink with him outside?"
"Well, consider this money as a loan from me. After my friend returns the money to me, I will pay you back immediately. No, double it. How about double it? I'll lend you 30 and pay you back 60, okay?"
Wang Wenbin was afraid that Qin Li would refuse again, so he offered to double the repayment.
When Qin Li heard about doubling, she immediately took action.
Wang Wenbin saw this and kissed Qin Li again as soon as possible.
Qin Li was hugged by Wang Wenbin like this, and kissed by him after a long time. She was completely immersed in great happiness.
Wang Wenbin hadn't hugged her for a long time, and she really enjoyed the feeling of being hugged by a man.
"Then hold me for a while. You haven't hugged me for a long time?" Qin Li said this with grievance, and then leaned her body into Wang Wenbin's arms.
Wang Wenbin saw that there was hope, so he no longer cared about the evil and just hugged Qin Li tightly again.
Thinking that the time was about right, he reached out and took the bag from Qin Li's arms, opened it, and saw that there was indeed more than 30 yuan inside.
Wang Wenbin couldn't help feeling disappointed, thinking that Qin Li didn't want to lend her money just now, so she said that on purpose. It turned out that she really didn't have much money.
So I asked casually, "Qin Li, I didn't see you buy anything. Where did your salary go?"
Qin Li's heart skipped a few beats when she heard that. She really hadn't bought anything for the house. Since she became pregnant, she hadn't even bought any clothes.
Where can she get her salary? It has been taken away time and time again by that damned Zhang Laizi.
If Wang Wenbin wanted to look into it in detail, she really couldn't explain clearly where her salary went.
In order to stop Wang Wenbin from asking more questions, she pretended to be angry and said to Wang Wenbin: "What about you? Your monthly salary is five yuan more than mine. Where did you spend your money?"
When asked by Qin Li, Wang Wenbin felt weak and quickly put on a smile.
"Lili, I don't mean that. I just asked casually. My money... Of course my money was spent on food and drink. You know I have a lot of friends, and men are bound to eat and drink when they are together. The money was gone without knowing it."
As Wang Wenbin spoke, he took out all the money from Qin Li's bag and stuffed it into his pocket.
"Wenbin, listen to me." Qin Li looked at Wang Wenbin seriously.
Wang Wenbin has already received the money, and now wants to go to the shopping mall as soon as possible to redeem his watch.
That facade represents your identity and status.
After all, there are very few people who can wear watches in this era.
He suppressed his impatience and waited for Qin Li to finish speaking so that he could leave.
"Go ahead."
Qin Li was still leaning in Wang Wenbin's arms and didn't notice the impatience on Wang Wenbin's face at all.
"Wenbin, our child will be born soon. From now on, we can no longer spend money so lavishly. We have to save money for the child..."
"Okay, don't worry about it. I'm your only son. We've saved all our lives, so it's for us. You don't have to worry about money when you marry into our family. I promise you'll never lack money in your life. Relax."
Wang Wenbin patted Qin Li on the shoulder and said, "Okay, I suddenly remembered that I have something to go out for. You can continue watching TV."
After saying that, 놛 pushed Qin Li out of his arms, then stood up and prepared to go out.
Qin Li still wanted to say something to Wang Wenbin, and in a hurry she grabbed Wang Wenbin's hand, "Wait a minute, I haven't finished talking yet."
Wang Wenbin was anxious to get out, so he pushed hard, "If you have anything to say, wait until I come back tonight. I'm in a hurry to go out and do something, so let go."
With this struggle, a loose wrist was exposed.
Qin Li noticed at a glance that the watch on her wrist was missing.
"Wenbin, where's your watch?"
Wang Wenbin panicked and quickly pulled his hand out of Qin Li's hand.
With an unnatural expression, he replied, "I...I forgot to bring it after washing my face this morning. Okay, I'll go out first and will be back soon."
Wang Wenbin said this as he strode to the door, opened it and went out.
Qin Li felt something was not right. She recalled that when Wang Wenbin was speaking just now, his eyes were evasive and he didn't dare to look at her face.
Her intuition told her that Wang Wenbin was lying.
I wear that watch on my wrist every day. Sometimes I go out for work and then remember that I haven't worn it, so I go back and put it on.
As for me, I'm used to wearing a watch. I want to look at it from time to time to keep track of the time.
If you don't bring it with you, you'll feel lost and have no idea what to do.
What happened to you today? She reminded you, but you remained indifferent. Why didn't you quickly find it and take it with you? Instead, you just went out.
Once suspicion arises, people will look for all kinds of evidence to prove it.
Qin Li got up and went to the bathroom first. There was nothing on the sink except a few bottles of toiletries.
She turned around and went to the bedroom where Wang Wenbin slept. There was nothing on the bedside table except a desk lamp, a box of firewood, and a pack of cigarettes.
Qin Li was afraid of wrongly accusing Wang Wenbin, so she opened all the drawers in the room and checked again, but still did not see the watch.
She sat down on Wang Wenbin's bed and looked around the room, hoping to find the watch in some inconspicuous place.
But after looking around the room several times, she found nothing. Now she was finally sure that Wang Wenbin was lying to her.
Combined with the fact that he had just asked her for the money and then rushed out in a hurry, Qin Li felt more and more that there was something wrong with Wang Wenbin.
He had more than two yuan on him and said he lent it to a friend. Who knows whether what he said was true or not.
Qin Li sat there, and suddenly a bad idea popped into her mind.
놛……I wonder if you have become addicted to gambling.
