Seeing the red nightgown that she threw on the ground, the corners of Cheng Yichen's mouth twitched, and his expression became extremely ugly. He shouted loudly, "Cheng Mingmei, come over here!"

The sound of slippers rang out from the corridor outside. When the door opened, Cheng Mingmei appeared in front of the two.

"Brother, is there something wrong with you calling me?"

Cheng Yichen pointed to the clothes on the ground in disgust, and asked: What's going on?

Cheng Mingmei looked extremely embarrassed, the clothes were actually Cheng Mingmei's? She had thought it was his ex-girlfriend, but now she was embarrassed.

"Don't come into my room from now on!" Cheng Yichen's face darkened, "Did you hear that?"

"Understood, this clothes was completely accidental. Sister-in-law, don't blame Big Bro, this clothes is really mine." Cheng Mingmei looked at her apologetically, took the clothes and left.

"Do you still blame me?"

Jiang Ruoqing looked at him, an apologetic expression flashed across her face, but she was not willing to admit it, "Who knows who the nightgown is, it appeared in your house after all."

He pulled her into his arms. "You suspect me?"

Jiang Ruoqing could clearly feel that he was angry, was he angry? But it wasn't her fault. At best, it was just a misunderstanding.

"Woman's nightgown appearing in your closet? You don't allow me to ask?" she asked, her little face taut with impatience.

"Do you know what trust is?" He laughed coldly as he held her face. With a serious tone, he said, "Forget it. I'll just take it as if you're jealous."

Who's jealous? Her little face changed. She struggled as hard as she could and slapped his hand away. "Don't be narcissistic. I'm not jealous."

"Little Qing, have you fallen in love with me?" Cheng Yichen squinted his eyes and suddenly asked.

Her heart suddenly skipped a beat. With a hollow laugh, she said, "You're too confident."

"So you mean no?"

Jiang Ruoqing could clearly see the cynicism in his eyes, and this was also the first time the two of them had ever mentioned the word "love".

On the other hand, he didn't place much importance on it and instead felt that it was very ironic. He should be rejecting this word, right?

The corner of his mouth twitched, and he casually picked up a shirt, "I'm going to take a shower first."

"You haven't answered my question." He grabbed her hand and looked at her stubbornly. "I've been with you for a long time. Do you think I still have no place in your heart?"

Of course there would be a place for him. After all, he was her husband, but he hadn't reached that important position yet.

She secretly thought in her heart and smirked, "Of course there's a spot."

With that, she took her shirt and walked towards the bathroom. She walked quickly, afraid that he would ask something that would scare her again.

After a difficult night, the two of them went to work in the car the next day. The Jin’s Group's lawsuit was going on like wildfire, although Huang Li had already admitted his guilt, there were still a lot of issues he needed to settle.

Cheng Yichen suddenly became very busy. With the start of the hearing, he still had a lot of things to prepare, but comparatively speaking, Jiang Ruoqing was very free.

Originally, even if she was idle, other than memorizing, making coffee for Cheng Yichen and running errands, she didn't have any other work to do.

The last time he went to the site with great difficulty to gather data, he had caused such a thing. Therefore, for safety's sake, Cheng Yichen would not work for her again.

She became bored and did not know what to do every day.

Qing Xi calling was something that would happen a week later, and it was also unexpected for Jiang Ruoqing to hear from her, but she only called back to say that she was sick and wanted Jiang Ruoqing to accompany her to the hospital.

After hanging up, Jiang Ruoqing heaved a deep sigh of relief. She felt sour inside, seems like her guess was right.

After hurriedly requesting for leave, he went to the place Qing Xi had arranged for her. Qing Xi's body was cool and she wore a pair of large sunglasses along with a flaxen beach hat on her head.

"Little Qing, over here." "Hello," she said, a faint smile on her haggard face.

Jiang Ruoqing walked over with large strides, looked at her with an obscure gaze, and intentionally asked: "Have you considered it?"

She nodded with difficulty. "I have. I was afraid that people would know that I never came, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to hide it. Moreover, I should have done it earlier."

Jiang Ruoqing thoughtfully patted her shoulder and asked: "Where's your boyfriend? Why are you so irresponsible? You actually let yourself come here. "

Qing Xi's little face lost all its light as she laughed bitterly, "How could he possibly come."

"Why is that impossible?"

"Sigh, he won't come anyway, I can only beg you to accompany me, Little Qing." She looked at her with teary eyes and took a deep breath. "Let's go."

Jiang Ruoqing held her hand, "It's fine, I'll accompany you."

When the two of them went to the hospital, she deliberately asked for the test results and took pictures with her phone when no one was looking.

"Little Qing, I'm nervous." Qing Xi grabbed her hand with force, her eyes red.

Jiang Ruoqing patted the back of her hand consolingly, "Endure it, consider it for your future."

She thought for a moment, then let out a bitter laugh. "Yes, I can't let the vile creatures in my stomach delay my future."

Jiang Ruoqing suddenly felt a sour feeling in her heart. Qing Xi looked to be even younger than her, but she had to endure that pain.

And the impression he had of Uncle Lin became even worse, as if he had swallowed a fly.

After Qing Xi went in for around twenty minutes, even Jiang Ruoqing who was waiting outside started to get nervous.

When Qing Xi was helped out by the doctors and nurses, she immediately supported him. Qing Xi's face was pale as if she was seriously ill, but it was also as if she had put on her hat and sunglasses before coming here.

"Do you usually live in a dormitory?" Jiang Ruoqing frowned, in her current state, she should make up for it, otherwise it would not be good for her body.

"I have a single apartment nearby."

Qing Xi's single apartment was downtown, and it was luxuriously decorated. Jiang Ruoqing brought her to her bedroom, then went to the kitchen to make chicken soup.

It was her first time cooking chicken soup, but it was not too hard. She looked around and the room was very new, as though no one had ever lived here before. Of course, there was nothing that belonged to the Uncle Lin.

When Jiang Ruoqing passed the chicken soup to Qing Xi, she was actually moved to tears.

After all, the two of them weren't familiar with each other. It really wasn't easy to do this for her.

"Qing Xi, why does it seem like no one lives here? Jiang Ruoqing acted as though she was not paying attention.

Qing Xi's face darkened, she sighed: Little Qing, if I were to say that I am the one who destroyed my family, would you despise me?

Jiang Ruoqing's heart thumped. Even though she had already guessed it, she was still very surprised when she mentioned it.

"You should have some difficulties, right?"

Qing Xi lowered her head, "My family is very poor, but I love to be vain, and always want to live like a princess. He gave me this kind of life, but I don't feel happy about it."

"He also bought this house for you?"

Qing Xi nodded her head, the bitterness on the corner of her mouth became even stronger, "Unless he comes, I won't be staying here. Since this is space, I would rather stay in my dorm."

"Don't think too much into it. Right now, taking care of yourself is more important than anything else." Jiang Ruoqing's eyes flashed an indifferent look. This villa's decoration is so luxurious, it shouldn't be cheap, right?

It looks like she has time to visit the Uncle Lin. After all, they were friends half a year ago.

She did not return home, but instead went to Mei Xu. During this time, she had been busy, not having the time to meet with her little sister Qian Ye.

"Darling, I missed you so much. Hug me." Qian Ye immediately gave her a big hug.

Joy surfaced on Jiang Ruoqing's small face, "Qian Ye, what have you been busy with recently?"

"Love each other." She shrugged, lit a cigarette, and took a drag. "You, on the other hand, haven't been doing anything lately."

"I'm busy too, but it's just a random activity." Jiang Ruoqing laughed bitterly. Ever since she saw her father, she had truly been busy without direction, and the information she had received right now was a mess of her mind. She did not know if it was true or false, but it really troubled her.

Jiang Ruoqing explained the situation to Qian Ye and sighed: "I am completely lost now, and do not know what to do."

"Since uncle doesn't want you to investigate any further, there must be a reason for it. Just be obedient." Qian Ye was also afraid that she would be in danger and tried to console her.

Jiang Ruoqing shook her head in dissatisfaction, "How can I accept this?"

"You are stubborn. There will be a day when you suffer a loss."

"Let's talk about it when we're at a disadvantage." Right now, she was completely resigned to her fate. However, she was unwilling to give in and wanted to retaliate from time to time.

And just at this time, the busy Eric ran out, and looked at Jiang Ruoqing deeply, saying softly, "Little Qing, how are you and Lin Wenhao doing?"

She was surprised for a moment, then shook her head. "Nothing."

"For the past few days, he came here to buy some stuff, but he didn't call anyone to accompany him. He just hid in the room and drank. After getting drunk, his fiancee always took him away."

When Jiang Ruoqing heard this, the bottom of her heart inexplicably sank in. She felt uncomfortable, but then she remembered his illness, causing her eyebrows to furrow even deeper.

Qian Ye secretly glared at Eric, warning him to talk too much. Eric laughed dryly and quickly left, "I'm going to busy myself."

Little Qing, you must not listen to Eric's nonsense. You don't have anything to do with that Lin fellow anymore.

Jiang Ruoqing shook the wine cup in her hand a few times, and her half-closed eyes lit up, "Qian Ye, I want to go and see him."

"Don't tell me you're still stubbornly trying to get away with it?"

"Nope." She smiled lightly, took a sip of the cocktail from her cup, and walked towards the box Eric had told her earlier.

Qian Ye watched her back and in the end, she did not stop her. Jiang Ruoqing was a stubborn person, if she wanted to do something, she would not be able to stop her.

Jiang Ruoqing stood outside the private box and hesitated for a while, but in the end, she gritted her teeth and entered the room.

As soon as she entered, she choked on the thick smell of smoke, and coughed loudly a few times, then looked at Lin Wenhao who was seated on the sofa, holding onto a cigarette in one hand and a beer in the other, looking at her in astonishment.

Her current state made Jiang Ruoqing a little uncomfortable, she laughed dryly: "I heard Eric said you're here."

Although Lin Wenhao drank a lot, he knew that he wasn't drunk.

"Little Qing, didn't you say that we wouldn't meet? Are you here to pity me? "

Heh, Lin Wenhao has learnt how to mock her. Seems like she really came to the wrong place, frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Then I'll be going."

"Don't!" He hurriedly opened his mouth, his face filled with regret. He was afraid that she might really leave, so he chased after her. Unexpectedly, he tripped on his right foot and fell onto the tea table.

With a "hu la" sound, all the bottles on the tea table fell onto the ground, and his head heavily smashed into the tea table's leg.
