Zhu Weidong returned to his room and saw Lian Qizhen was there, so he did not go back to his desk.

"Your room has been cleaned up a long time ago. You haven't been home these few days, so I didn't move your things over without your permission. I'm calling for help now, so you can move over."

"But you promised me that I would stand by you when I came back, that's why I agreed to come back. Otherwise, I wouldn't have returned. Now that your lover is here, you want to drive me away? Then I'll just go abroad." Lian Qizhen looked at Zhu Weidong with a smile, "Zhu Weidong, you won't be a person who breaks your promise, right?"

Zhu Weidong pursed his lips, "I promised to go forward and backward with you, but I didn't promise to live with you."

"But that's how I understand it." Lian Qizhen shrugged. "Well, get to work quickly. The project can't be delayed. You won't delay the progress of the entire project for your own personal matters, right? There are still hundreds of people working hard on the construction site."

Zhu Weidong pursed his lips, but Lian Qizhen didn't look at him and had already flipped through the design drawings on the table.

After a while, Zhu Weidong sat down at the table in silence. After he worked seriously, Lian Qizhen looked up, looked at Zhu Weidong's back, and curled the corners of her lips.

In the backyard, Ji Ling and Wang Sanmei had already finished their meal.

"Sister-in-law, my eldest brother is in the camp now, do you want to come over?"

"Don't bother him. He's working on the drawings. We're not in a hurry. Let's wait until he's done."

Zhu Heping wanted to talk about Lian Qizhen, but Zhu Yaowu saw that and immediately interrupted him, saying, "Okay, let's wait until my brother finishes his current work. By the way, do you want to call home?"

Thinking of her daughter, Ji Ling smiled and said, "Let's make a fight."

Afterwards, the four of them went to the office to borrow a phone and called the Zhu family's old house. Niu Niu was awake at that time, and they could hear her shouting through the phone.

Old Mrs. Zhu said, "Now she likes to shout. As long as she wakes up, she shouts loudly. The neighbors next door can hear her and say that our Niuniu is in good health."

"Just go there and don't rush back. Stay there for a few more days. It's not easy to get there. Don't worry about Niuniu. The whole family is around her and won't let her suffer any grievances."

"He was looking for mom a few days ago, but he hasn't looked for her these past few days. He just makes a few noises every night before going to bed. He must be missing you."

Ji Ling listened to everything her daughter said quietly, feeling sad, "Grandma, we'll stay for a few days and then go back."

"Okay, okay."

After hanging up the phone, the four of them went out. Ji Ling told them about Niu Niu's story with a smile, and the other three also laughed when they heard it.

Then they saw Zhu Weidong not far away, and the smiles on their faces froze.

Zhu Yaowu pulled Zhu Heping and called Wang Sanmei, "Let's go unload the things in the car."

The three of them immediately dodged away.

Zhu Weidong came over and said, "Xiaoling, you've worked hard along the way."

Ji Ling looked at him, "Zhu Weidong, don't you have anything to explain?"

After asking, she saw Zhu Weidong's lips move, as if he wanted to say something, but she waited for a long time, and in the end he said nothing.

He just looked at her with a smile.

"Since there's nothing to say, go and get busy." Ji Ling turned and left.

Before she took two steps, Zhu Weidong caught up with her and grabbed her. Ji Ling didn't look back.

The two were in a stalemate.

After a long while, Zhu Weidong's voice became hoarse. "Do you believe me? If you believe me, don't ask anything. When the time comes, I will tell you everything from the beginning to the end."

There was silence all around, and Zhu Weidong's voice lingered in her ears. Ji Ling felt a sense of disappointment for no reason.

She turned around and looked at Zhu Weidong. "Even if we are husband and wife, we can't tell each other? It seems that you and Lian Qizhen are closer."

Zhu Weidong's body froze. "Xiaoling, there are some things that cannot be said now. Can you wait a moment?"

Ji Ling asked, "Has Lian Qizhen moved out?"

Ji Ling closed her eyes, took a deep breath and tried to leave. It didn't matter whether she said it or not. Zhu Weidong's attitude had already hurt her.

Ji Ling tried to pull her hand out, but Zhu Weidong held it tightly and refused to let go.

At this time he said, "Xiaoling, it's cold outside, let's go back to the house first."

Ji Ling was pulled by him, and there were people watching around, so Ji Ling could only follow him back to the room, to Zhu Weidong's dormitory.

Lian Qizhen was also in the room. She was sitting at the kang table on the kang, which was covered with design drawings. When she heard the voice, she looked up and her eyes fell on Ji Ling and she never moved away.

A beautiful girl next door.

The first four words that came to my mind were these four words.

Lian Qizhen finally understood why Zhu Yaowu used these four words to describe it.

It is charming and graceful, just like the stream flowing down from the mountains in summer, bringing with it a clear coolness that makes people feel comfortable both physically and mentally.

Just like a clear stream, it stands alone in this world, uncontaminated by the mundane world.

The second feeling was that Lian Qizhen felt jealous.

No one who has seen her says she is not beautiful, but when she stands next to Ji Ling, her beauty is vulgar.

Zhu Weidong didn't look at Lian Qizhen or Ji Ling. Zhu Weidong pulled her to the kang next to his bedding and made her sit down on it.

Ji Ling sat on the kang. Zhu Weidong faced her and slowly squatted down, holding Ji Ling's hands with both hands without letting go.

In the past, when the two faced each other, Ji Ling looked up and Zhu Weidong looked down.

This time, it was Zhu Weidong who looked up while Ji Ling looked down.

Ji Ling: Zhu Weidong, "How many days have you been on the road? Why didn't you tell me in advance? I could have waited for you at the camp, or picked you up in the city."

"You've lost a lot of weight. Did you lose weight on the road?"

"Most of the food here is pasta. Are you used to it? If not, just tell the kitchen and ask them to make rice for you."

"You were in a hurry when you came here, so you didn't stay in the city for long, right? You can stay for a few more days. When you are not busy, I will accompany you to the city. There are many delicious foods. I will take you to eat."

"Stay here for a few more days. I can't go back. How about you stay a few more days and spend the New Year here?"

Ji Ling: Lian Qizhen on the side: Originally, she wanted to stay in the room, but when she saw Zhu Weidong's humble appearance, she felt a tightness in her chest and got up and went out.

There were only two people in the room. Ji Ling said, "Okay, the show is almost over and everyone has left. Get up."

Before he could finish his last words, he was interrupted.

After Lian Qizhen came out, she realized that she was in such a hurry that she forgot to put on her cotton coat. After turning back, she froze at the door.

She saw Zhu Weidong raping and kissing his wife.

Yes, strong, kiss.

Because Ji Ling's hands were slapping him hard, resisting his closeness, but Zhu Weidong was unmoved and kissed her seriously and devotedly.

Lian Qizhen: She turned and walked out, letting the cold wind blow on her body.

After staying outside for only a short while, Lian Qizhen sneezed. She shrank her body, not wanting anyone to see her embarrassment, so she waited until she heard voices in the house before going back.
