However, before Qi Heng could even taste the bitterness of regret, Han Junche did.
Walking home under the moonlight, I opened the door and saw Chi Xia sitting on the sofa watching TV, with Ran Zhu reporting the news on the screen.
Hearing that he had returned, Chi Xia did not turn around to look at him, but simply said indifferently without turning her head, "Come and sit down, I have something to ask you."
Upon seeing this scene, Han Junche knew things were going badly; this was the beginning of a reckoning.
He changed his shoes and obediently sat down next to Chi Xia. Chi Xia didn't speak, and he didn't want to speak either. The two of them just sat quietly watching the news.
Only after the news ended did Chi Xia turn to look at him and ask, "What's this about 'white moonlight'? Don't you want to explain?"
Han Junche coughed lightly, seemingly unconcerned: "Didn't you say Jerry was coming? I haven't seen him."
Chi Xia snorted and replied, "Jerry came yesterday. You came back late, and he stayed in the space to take care of Mengmeng. He only came out to talk to me about Mengmeng's situation when I got off work."
Han Junche secretly breathed a sigh of relief; the topic had been diverted.
Just as he was about to press Mengmeng for more information to smooth things over, Chi Xia smiled and said, "So, I'm giving you time to think. Have you decided how you're going to explain this?"
Han Junche's expression stiffened. Explain? Explain that he had been overthinking things, assuming she was going to have an affair, which is why he had made up stories about Qi Heng, saying he had some kind of "white moonlight" (ideal love interest).
Han Junche isn't stupid; he knows that if he says this, Chi Xia will definitely be angry.
Not letting him sleep with her for three days is already considered good; the real fear is that she'll get angry that he doesn't trust her, and his imagined breakdown of the marital relationship will become a reality.
Han Junche didn't answer, so Chi Xia just watched him with a leisurely air.
Actually, if you count from when she started pursuing him, they've been together for over five years. She could roughly guess what Han Junche was thinking.
Han Junche has always been aloof and dislikes lying. He dislikes and disdains lying, let alone engaging in such degrading behavior as gossiping about his subordinates behind their backs.
Only when it involves her does he change his usual behavior and become awkward.
So after a little thought, she realized that this person was probably jealous because she had inquired about Qi Heng.
Chi Xia's eyes were so discerning that Han Junche knew perfectly well that his little scheme had been seen through.
He was somewhat embarrassed and angry, so he decided to go all the way and pulled Chi Xia into his arms, then kissed her on the lips.
What started as a kiss to ease the awkwardness quickly turned sour, and Han Junche simply picked up Chi Xia and strode towards the bedroom.
Chi Xia actually really enjoyed seeing Han Junche get jealous for her. It wasn't that she was deliberately bullying him, but rather that Han Junche looked especially cute when he was jealous. Moreover, when he was jealous, Chi Xia could clearly feel his overflowing love for her.
So when Han Junche picked her up, she went along with it and buried her face in his chest.
The room temperature suddenly rose, and Han Junche and Chi Xia were both very aroused. Just as Han Junche covered Chi Xia and was about to enter her, Jerry's voice suddenly came from outside: "Xia Xia, Xia Xia, Mengmeng gave birth! She gave birth to six! A full six! Xia Xia, Xia Xia, can you hear that?"
Upon hearing this, Chi Xia lost all romantic thoughts and sat up abruptly.
However, she sat down too suddenly, and her knee accidentally bumped into a part of Han Junche that was already poised to strike. Then, Han Junche let out a muffled groan and fell to the side, his handsome face instantly turning pale.
