Yang Wei immediately regained his composure, went down the steps, and quietly searched for his own quilt before putting it away.
She laughed awkwardly, "Sister-in-law Qiu Rong, I'm just here to collect the quilts."
Huang Qiurong paused, so they really came to collect the quilts?
The sun is shining brightly now, isn't it perfect for airing out blankets?
Yang Wei didn't notice Qiu Rong's reaction. He glanced at the quilt in the basin and asked kindly, "Qiu Rong, do you need my help?"
Huang Qiurong quickly snapped out of her daze and refused, "No, no, this blanket is very light, I can manage on my own."
Yang Wei didn't press the issue. He had only asked casually, and it would have been awkward to stay any longer.
"Okay, I'll take the blanket downstairs first."
Without waiting for the other person to nod, he turned and went down the stairs.
Huang Qiurong shook her head as she watched Yang Wei's retreating figure. Sometimes she felt that Ge Hong was even more pretentious than Su Jingjing, except that Ge Hong was better at pretending.
Yang Wei stood in front of his house, clutching his blanket, hesitant to open the door. He had only gone out a short while before running back. Would Ge Hong look down on him even more?
Wu Xiuying happened to be taking out the trash when she turned around and saw Yang Wei raising his hand and then lowering it again, wondering what he meant.
The important thing is that he was holding a blanket, which seemed somewhat incongruous.
She walked up to him, puzzled. "Company Commander Yang, why aren't you going in? Did you forget your key?"
Wait a minute, didn't Ge Hong come back?
Yang Wei subconsciously turned around and met Wu Xiuying's curious gaze. He smiled to cover it up and said, "Sister-in-law Xiuying, I was just thinking about something and got lost in thought."
"Xiaohong is at home, I'll go in first."
Fortunately, Wu Xiuying's appearance gave him the courage to push open the door.
"Why."
Wu Xiuying replied blankly, "What's wrong with this couple? They're being so mysterious."
After Yang Wei left, Ge Hong stared blankly at the food on the table until she heard a noise at the door, which brought her back to her senses.
With his back to the person behind him, he said sarcastically, "Why don't you stay outside a little longer? What are you doing back in this house?"
She chewed her food vigorously as she spoke, not wanting Yang Wei to see her emotions.
Yang Wei paused, his mood, which had just eased, darkened again.
Just now, he was thinking outside that a real man can bend and stretch, and there was no need to argue with his wife; he could just coax her. But as soon as Ge Hong opened her mouth, all his thoughts vanished.
With a cold face, he silently carried the blanket back to his room.
Ge Hong was bewildered by the man's action. The next second, she sneered and immediately became angry. She put her hands on her hips, pointed at his back, and started cursing, "Yang Wei, what do you mean by this? How dare you ignore me?"
"So many people were pursuing me back then, but I didn't agree to any of them. I was so stupid to choose you. And now, after such a short time, you treat me like this."
As she spoke, she became aggrieved, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Yang Wei sighed in the room. Who told him to marry such a troublesome woman?
If her mother-in-law finds out that Ge Hong has been wronged, she'll definitely come after her.
He put down the blanket, walked to Ge Hong's side, hugged her, and gently comforted her, "Don't cry, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have slammed the door, and I shouldn't have ignored you."
Ge Hong angrily slapped the man's back, "Of course it's your fault."
However, they quickly stopped while they were ahead and didn't make a big fuss.
The two seemed to have made up, but the incident left an indelible mark on Yang Wei's heart.
Meanwhile, Su Jingjing, who was on the third floor, was unaware of the conflict between Ge Hong and her husband.
The man still went to the cafeteria to get dinner, because he said that cooking was hard work and she should rest for a day.
Although the food in the canteen wasn't great, it was still delicious for a hungry person.
However, Su Jingjing only ate a small half bowl of rice before putting down her chopsticks.
She hasn't forgotten that she's on a diet.
The man took in her actions, looked up at her, and said in a low voice, "Why aren't you eating?"
Without hesitation, Su Jingjing replied, "I'm on a diet, I can't let all my efforts go to waste."
She has lost at least ten pounds, which is quite a significant achievement.
Li Hanting frowned. "Fill your stomach first before you start dieting, otherwise you'll be hungry tonight."
I remember that night she dreamed about delicious food, kept smacking her lips, and kept saying she was hungry.
If she weren't sleeping so soundly, I would have wanted to give her something to eat before she went back to sleep.
He knew his wife's appetite well; she used to eat at least two bowls of rice at every meal, but now it's only half a bowl. No wonder she's hungry.
Su Jingjing was stunned. How did he know she was hungry in the middle of the night?
Men are so controlling, they're even interfering with her diet now?
She insisted, "You can't eat too much, or you'll rebound."
Li Yuanyuan pouted and showered everyone with compliments in her childish voice, "Mommy isn't fat, Mommy is the prettiest."
Su Jingjing smiled and said, "You have such a sweet mouth, Mommy hasn't spoiled you for nothing."
Li Cheng'an glanced down at the mother and daughter's actions, and he felt envious.
However, he couldn't bring himself to say caring words; every time he prepared them, he would back down as soon as they reached the tip of his tongue.
He knew that dieting was bad for his health.
Su Jingjing looked up at the father and his two sons and explained simply, "Don't worry, I'm just eating less, not dieting, so it won't harm my health."
Li Cheng'an said something insincere, "I didn't care about you at all."
After saying that, he continued to enjoy his meal.
Su Jingjing wasn't embarrassed at all. She smiled playfully and said, "Yes, yes, you didn't care. It was my Yuanyuan and Commander Li who cared about me."
The man chuckled, making An'an blush with embarrassment. How come her father had switched sides too?
Hmph... He's losing his standing in this family more and more.
It was past midnight when Su Jingjing woke up from hunger before she could fall asleep.
Her stomach was rumbling, making her anxious, and she couldn't sleep even while clutching her stomach.
She sat up and, using the moonlight streaming through the window, carefully made her way to the living room, intending to drink a glass of warm water to calm herself down.
After drinking a glass of warm water, my stomach felt much better.
I turned around, wanting to go into my room and fall asleep quickly so I wouldn't feel hungry.
Unexpectedly, a dark figure appeared behind her. Su Jingjing was so frightened that her soul almost left her body, and she screamed the next second.
"Don't call out, it's me."
The man raised his hand and covered her mouth, his low, husky voice whispering in her ear, a voice that was intoxicating.
The atmosphere froze.
The living room wasn't completely dark; the two were so close, gazing at each other, unwilling to look away.
Su Jingjing seemed to still have some sense. She lowered her eyes and stared at the man's well-defined hands, making "woo woo woo" sounds, trying to get the man to move his hands away.
Li Hanting reluctantly lowered his hand. Just a moment ago, he felt the warm touch of his wife's lips, and now his heart was itching, as if he could still smell the sweet scent of her lips.
His Adam's apple bobbed, and he clenched his fist, awkwardly pressing it against his lips, before asking, "It's getting late, why aren't you asleep yet?"
Su Jingjing looked up at the clock; it was only nine o'clock, still a long way off.
"I…"
Just as she was about to tell the truth, she immediately shut her mouth and changed her excuse, "I was thirsty, so I got up to get some water."
She couldn't let men laugh at her; going hungry in the middle of the night wasn't something to be proud of.
