Ji Xinqing lay on her bed, unable to fall asleep.

The events of the day replayed themselves in her mind, causing her to lose all sleepiness.

It was already late at night, and the entire Meng Residence was in total silence.

After an unknown amount of time, Ji Xinqing heard a screeching sound of brakes outside the window.

Ji Xinqing came back to her senses and realized that Meng Qin Guan, who was busy dealing with a big client, was finally back.

She managed to get up.

Meng Qingrui opened the door softly. The moment he turned on the light, he saw Ji Xinqing sitting on the bed, staring at him expressionlessly.

He was somewhat surprised. His eyes flashed a few times before entering the room and closing the door behind him.

As he took off his clothes, he said, "Didn't I tell you not to wait for me? I thought you were asleep. "

He took off his watch again, looked at the time, and frowned. "What time is it?" I'm going to take a bath, so don't wait for me.

Ji Xinqing stared at him before she quietly said, "Alright."

Meng Qin Guan started to take off his pants again. It was unknown what he was thinking, but he suddenly looked up at Ji Xinqing, "Oh right, Xinqing, did you wash the coat I put in the bathroom today? Did you see anything? "

He looked at Ji Xinqing and spoke nervously.

Ji Xinqing shook her head and replied, "No, I didn't get the time to bring the clothes downstairs. They're still in the bathroom."

After a pause, she asked again, "Qin Guan, is there anything very important inside the clothes?"

Meng Qin heaved a sigh of relief. He smiled at Ji Xinqing and replied, "Right, I put a big client's name card in but I forgot to bring it out. It's a good thing you didn't wash it."

Compared to the nervousness from before, his words were very smooth.

As Ji Xinqing listened, she felt very sad.

Inside the jacket, there was clearly no customer's business card. There were only those two invoices.

Meng Qin looked at him and actually lied to him.

Was he afraid that he would see those two invoices?

Ji Xinqing suddenly wanted to poke a hole in Meng QIng's lie, but she suppressed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

He quickly changed his words, "Alright, Qin Guan, hurry up and take out that name card. If not, I'll forget to wash it tomorrow."

Meng Qin Guan took his pajamas and entered the bathroom. "Then don't wait for me. Go to sleep first, Xin Qing."

"Mm. Alright."

Hearing the sound of flowing water, Ji Xinqing took a deep breath and got off the bed to clean up Meng Qin's clothes.

However, after putting it away, Ji Xinqing smelled a familiar scent of perfume from Meng Qin Guan's clothes.

Her hands shook and her face began to turn pale.

Was it that woman?

Was Meng Qin with that woman all night?

Could it be that he had been accompanying that woman every day since he left early and returned late?

Ji Xinqing glanced at the man in the bathroom and took out the phone with trembling hands.

She peeked at his cell phone.

However, the text message section only had the interactions of a few business partners, as well as the text messages she sent.

Other than his family members, the rest of the people in the contact list were also business partners.

Ji Xinqing did not see anything.

She flipped through the records again, but they were empty.

Meng Qin Guan had actually deleted all the records.

However, because it was too normal, Ji Xinqing felt that it was abnormal.

If they were to meet normally, did he really need to delete the communication record?

Or could it be that he was just concealing his communication record with that woman, afraid that she would see through it?

Ji Xinqing didn't give up and sent him her WeChat, but she found that WeChat had actually been sent as a secret.

Ji Xinqing tried several times.

Her birthday, their wedding anniversary, her little birthday...

In the end, Ji Xinqing finally used Meng Qingwen's birthday to order it.

The chat log of WeChat was also deleted cleanly by Meng Qinghui.

Ji Xinqing entered her contact list.

She looked at the notes, line by line.

All of them were the names of business partners listed on the phone's contact list.

However, Ji Xinqing's gaze quickly stopped on a name written in stone.

Amongst the many business partners, this note was very strange.

It was obviously a woman's name.

However, Ji Xinqing could not remember that Meng Qin had a female friend named Shen Dian.

The more Ji Xinqing looked, the more suspicious she became.

Just as she was about to check out the female circle of friends, an angry roar sounded in her ears, "Ji Xinqing! What are you doing! "

Ji Xinqing was stunned, "Qin Guan, I —"

The phone in her hand was snatched away by Meng Qin Guan. She saw the dark expression on Meng Qin Guan's face.

"Why are you peeking at my phone!"

Meng Qing-jao lowered his head and glanced at the screen of his phone. His eyes flashed unnaturally for a moment before he quickly exited the interface.

He gripped his phone tightly and shouted guiltily at Ji Xinqing, "Ji Xinqing, do you know that my phone has a lot of customer information? Can you afford it? "

Ji Xinqing opened her mouth, but did not know what to say.

She had a lot to ask.

She wanted to ask him what the invoice for the jewelry was about.

However, when she heard Meng Qin's words, her heart sank.

She lowered her head and replied, "I'm sorry, Qin Guan." Then he explained, "You've been working overtime lately. I just wanted to see which bosses you were working with. But I really didn't expect that I would reveal my customer information. I'm sorry, Qin Guan. "

Meng Qin's frown loosened. "Alright, it's not a big deal. Don't touch my phone again."

Ji Xinqing nodded in agreement, "Yes, I know Qin Guan."

"It's getting late, let's go to sleep. I have to get up early tomorrow."

They went to bed, their backs to each other.

"Qin Guan?" Ji Xinqing said softly.

Meng Qin Guan was obviously very tired, so he replied impatiently, "What can't we talk about tomorrow?" I still have to get up early to work tomorrow morning! "

"Qin Guan, I've shown our inspection reports to dad."

At the mention of this, Meng Qin Guan turned his body, causing Ji Xin Qing's body to turn stiff, "What did dad say?" Did he find anything? "

Ji Xinqing did not look at him. She lowered her eyes and replied, "Don't worry, Qin Guan. I didn't say anything. Dr. Zhang helped me hide it from dad."

"But, dad said —"

Meng Qin Guan held onto Ji Xinqing's shoulders vigorously, "But what? What did Dad say?"

Ji Xinqing's shoulder was hurting from his pinching, but she feigned a relaxed smile, "What else can dad say? Of course it's about the second child."

Meng Qin Guan pushed her away, "Didn't I tell you about this before?! "We'll talk about the child in a few years."

"But Qin Guan, if you keep running away like this, it's not like you can do anything. Modern medicine is so advanced, so your problem can —"

Meng Qin Guan interrupted her coldly, "Ji Xinqing, are you joking? You want me to go to the hospital? You want to make my question public? "You want to make people in the business world laugh at me for being a useless man?"

"That's not what I meant."

Meng Qin Guan didn't want to waste any more time on her. He quickly turned his back to Ji Xin Qing and said, "There's no need to discuss this matter. I won't go to the hospital even if I die."

Ji Xinqing turned around after staring at Meng Qinghui's back for a few seconds.

The two of them were lying on the same bed with the same blanket covering them. However, Ji Xinqing could not feel even the slightest bit of warmth between husband and wife.

The bedside lamp was still on, giving off a pleasant fragrance.

Ji Xinqing slowly opened her eyes and looked at the faint yellow light. She fell into a daze …
