At some point, her feelings for these few children had exceeded her own expectations.
Thinking back a few months ago, she had only wanted to temporarily raise these children, and then find a way to go back.
But now, it seemed like she had gotten too immersed in it.
She gave a bitter smile before regaining her smile.
“Choose me! How about you give me a smile?”
Fu Yuling said this with a bit of a teasing tone towards a respectable woman.
Resting her chin on one hand, she lazily looked at his good-looking face.
“Xiao Qiu, come on, give me a smile~”
He Qiu’s face was expressionless. “No smile.”
“You just said you choose me, and now you’re not listening to me.”
Fu Yuling sounded aggrieved, but He Qiu had long seen through her.
“Don’t smile, it’s ugly.”
Fu Yuling immediately changed her expression, looking sinister. “Are you talking about me?”
At this point, He Qiu did take a closer look at her.
Fu Yuling’s face was indeed quite good-looking. When standing quietly, she gave off a faint, indifferent aura. But when making other expressions, there was no sense of incongruity. Even when pretending to be pitiful, it was very convincing.
Sensing the danger, He Qiu’s previous vulnerability disappeared. He placed the plum in Fu Yuling’s hand.
“You eat it.”
Then he ran away.
Fu Yuling didn’t chase after him. She ate the sweet plum, but there was still a bit of sourness mixed in, immediately causing her face to twist.
Sour, too sour!
She quickly ran to the kitchen and drank a few mouthfuls of water to get rid of the sourness.
Sure enough, after coming here, she still couldn’t handle sour things.
Compared to Fu Yuling’s time passing quickly, He Jingxue’s side wasn’t going so well.
After discovering her husband’s cheating, He Jingxue had not returned to the Zhuangjia Village. She could endure it, and in the past few months, she had thoroughly investigated the whole matter.
That day, the room was not lit. She stood in the darkness.
Hearing someone come in, she coldly spoke, “Why are you back so late?”
The man was startled by her and complained, “Why aren’t the lights on? Who are you trying to scare to death?”
“You.”
The man didn’t hear the word clearly and was still rambling on, “Why do I smell alcohol? Have you been drinking?”
As the room’s dim light turned on, the man finally saw the disheveled figure standing in the corner.
That messy state made him frown.
“What are you doing? The room is such a mess and you don’t even tidy up. I really don’t know what you’ve been doing all day…”
Listening to his words, He Jingxue slowly pushed her hair back, revealing her face.
That face was no longer as delicate as before, and there were obvious dark circles under her eyes.
The man didn’t notice her unusual state. He went to the kitchen to look for food. Seeing that no meal had been left for him, he wasn’t upset, just going into the room and locking the door.
The sound of the door reverberated, and the room fell silent again.
This silent room, too small to accommodate the two of them, too large for the explanation she had been waiting for all this time, but never received.
She gave a cold laugh, walked into the kitchen, and directly threw the prepared food in the trash can.
The moment the plate hit the ground, it shattered. A shard of porcelain grazed her cheek, leaving a bloody trace.
She didn’t pay attention to it, directly entering her own room to start packing.
There wasn’t much, and she was done quickly. She picked up her things and left without a word. The man didn’t notice it at all.
He Jingxue had returned, which Fu Yuling knew as soon as she opened the door.
“Where’s He Qiu?”
Oh my god, what a trash male! And he not once realized that something was off? Or had an inkling that something was wrong with his wife?? See, that’s how people wake up ☠. I’m just saying…
