"Hahaha... My mom says I've lost my mind, and you've lost yours too, brother. Your wife is in jail, and you're talking about your wife from your past life. Why don't you say your lover in your next life is Comrade Zhao Ergou next to you? What a load of rubbish!"
Zhou Jiuzhen laughed so hard his body trembled, making no attempt to hide his mockery of his younger brother's daydreaming.
Qin Jinshen stared intently at Zhou Shuyao, his smug expression cracking, a hint of fear flashing across his face. He quickly looked to see Ling Huanwu's reaction.
He never expected Zhou Shuyao to be so fearless as to reveal the events of his previous life.
He was terrified, fearing that Ling Huanwu might also be reborn and still harbor feelings for Zhou Shuyao.
He had just gotten rid of 25-year-old Zhou Jiuzhen, and was only halfway to poach him, but unexpectedly Zhou Shuyao got the better deal.
Just as he and Zhou Jiuzhen were both on tenterhooks, anxiously awaiting Ling Huanwu's answer, Ling Huanwu's face darkened, and she raised her hand to slap Zhou Shuyao hard.
"Snap!" A crisp sound.
Across two lifetimes, their peaceful lives were shattered.
Ling Huanwu clenched her numb hands, which were trembling involuntarily.
She had wanted to slap him for a long time.
It turns out that the reason Zhou Shuyao had been sticking to her like a leech all these days was because he had also been reborn.
Since that's the case, she doesn't need to give him a friendly look.
Before the others could react, she jumped onto a small boat, picked up the oar she had just come into contact with, and headed towards Wan Tan Island.
Three grown men were left crammed onto a boat, so crammed that the boat was almost sinking...
*
That very night, when we returned to the educated youth settlement.
Ling Huanwu developed a dry mouth and fever.
In a daze, she took a packet of medicine from her spatial storage and went to the door to brew it, but it was snatched away by Zhou Shuyao and Qin Jinshen, who were guarding the door.
The two fought over the right to decoct the medicine, which eventually escalated into a physical fight. As a result, the medicine was spilled all over the ground, and Ling Huanwu, furious, picked up her small cloth bag and turned to go to the clinic.
Then the two of them came over again, saying in unison with concern, "You have a fever, honey, let me carry you to the clinic!"
“Who’s your wife? Your wife’s in prison, Comrade Ling. Let me carry you there. They’re all mentally ill, only I’m normal. I’ll carry you there…”
The two of them squatted down as if to carry each other, but then they started fighting again after a disagreement.
Ling Huanwu's vision blurred, and she finally couldn't hold on any longer and fainted...
When I woke up.
It was already broad daylight.
When Ling Huanwu opened her eyes, she saw Zhou Shuyao sitting motionless on the edge of the bed, his eyes dark and his chin covered with stubble.
Upon seeing Ling Huanwu wake up, tears finally welled up in his red-rimmed eyes.
"Huanhuan, have you been reborn too? I was wrong to you before, can you forgive me just this once? I promise I won't do anything to wrong you in this life!"
The more Zhou Shuyao spoke, the more tears streamed down his face. He vowed never to betray her in this life and would stay with her until they grew old together.
He reached out and cupped her cold hand from the IV drip, then breathed on it to warm it.
Ling Huanwu felt a wave of nausea churning in her stomach and, ignoring the needle in her hand, shook off his hand.
"Don't touch me! I'm not your wife! Get out of here!"
Zhou Shuyao's lips were deathly pale, and tears were welling up in his eyes.
He was now filled with deep regret. He never expected that after he revealed that he had also been reborn, her attitude towards him would take a sharp turn for the worse.
"Honey, we've lived together for over twenty years and have three children. You love children so much, you wouldn't just watch them go without being born, would you? Let's make up, okay?"
Ling Huanwu weakly turned her head and stared coldly at him, "Don't call me wife. Your triplets are in Song Yaoyao's belly. Go find her!"
Zhou Shuyao felt a buzzing in his head, and his whole body trembled.
"No, wife, how could she possibly be carrying our child? Think of the children, please forgive me this once, okay? I'll raise the children well from now on, and I won't let those three unfilial sons break your heart..."
"No need. You have other children in both your past lives, so why bother about whether they were born or not? Besides, I don't even want to see those three sons who helped my father have children with his mistress in this life!"
Ling Huanwu's tone was icy, and with each word she spoke, Zhou Shuyao's face grew paler.
He recalled how Ling Huanwu had been hospitalized with unexplained bleeding after discovering his infidelity in his previous life, and he was filled with regret.
Ling Huanwu was lying in the hospital, unable to attend her eldest son's award ceremony, unable to help her second son organize the documents and evidence before the court hearing, and unable to go to the recording of a program with her youngest son who had become a star.
When she insisted on divorce, he got angry and deliberately slandered her, saying she was faking her illness, and sent their three children to the hospital to scold her.
He simply wanted to change her intolerant nature.
He just wanted her to understand that if she left him, she would truly lose three children.
But what he didn't expect was that the three children blamed Ling Huanwu for their career setbacks that day, venting their resentment. They even thought that her pale lips were fake and stopped her from pressing the emergency call button on the hospital bed, which resulted in her suffering a massive hemorrhage on the hospital bed and almost not being saved.
Later, his secretary, with whom he had a relationship, became pregnant and came to him demanding a formal status.
Of course he refused.
But considering that Ling Huanwu had always wanted a daughter, he asked his secretary to keep the baby in her womb.
But once they stayed, there was no turning back for the two of them.
When his secretary repeatedly used the excuse of her unborn child to call him away, he still went as if possessed.
When that young and delicate girl leaned in again, he, as if possessed, didn't push her away.
At the time, he thought that since they had already had sex once, there was no difference between once and multiple times.
