Shen Sijue's face froze, and he held his forehead in annoyance. It seemed that his little wife was very angry and would not be easy to coax this time.
Shen Sijue rubbed his eyebrows, his handsome face covered with dark clouds.
What happened today was beyond his expectation.
He never expected that the prayer beads he had left for the girl would actually appear in Zhang Lanxin's hands.
This string of Buddhist beads was my grandmother's favorite thing. Each one was engraved with the Heart Sutra and was specially enshrined in front of the Buddha for consecration. It was a relic left by my grandmother to him.
If he hadn't carried it close to his body and was very familiar with its texture, he wouldn't be sure at this moment that this was the prayer bead he left behind on purpose.
Thinking of the scene in the study -
"You had a severe fever at the time. I just wanted to put a cold towel on you to cool down. I didn't expect that you would suddenly grab my wrist and I couldn't get away for a while. So... that was my first time. I was too panicked, so I didn’t take any medicine. It was almost three months before I found out I was pregnant..."
Shen Sijue's eyebrows were sharp, trying to find flaws in Zhang Lanxin's words.
"Then why didn't you come to me and give birth to the child without permission?"
Zhang Lanxin wiped her tears, her eyes full of sadness, "I don't dare, I am already dependent on someone else. If my aunt and uncle know that I am pregnant again, they will definitely drive me away!"
"Later, I asked someone to send the child back, but I didn't dare to take a look at her..."
Zhang Lanxin's words sounded fine, but Shen Sijue always felt inconsistent in his heart. Inexplicably, he felt that the girl from the beginning should not be her.
But in reality, she did carry Buddhist beads.
Shen Sijue's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, his jaw tightened, and a depressing aura enveloped his whole body.
"What do you want?"
Zhang Lanxin didn't react for a moment and looked at Shen Sijue slightly blankly.
Shen Sijue frowned impatiently and his voice became even colder.
"Compensation, what do you want?"
"I...I didn't think about it..."
This is all their conversations in the study room.
Shen Sijue thought of Xu Nanxing at that time. If the little woman knew that she and Zhang Lanxin had such a past, she would probably stay away from him.
As a result, it came true when I went downstairs.
Before he could explain, the little woman ran away and has not come back yet.
Shen Sijue rubbed his swollen temples.
It is unclear whether any of Third Uncle's people are in Yecheng. Although Xu Nanxing is still nominally the widow of sick Yangzi, there is no guarantee that Third Uncle will find out something...
Shen Sijue frowned, trying hard to suppress the panic in his heart, and opened his phone with sharp eyes to check Xu Nanxing's location.
After a moment, he picked up the coat on the back of the chair, left the study with the wind at his feet, and drove into the thick night.
Because of the phone call, as soon as Shen Sijue arrived, Lu Jin dressed neatly and opened the door.
"Nanxing is asleep."
She turned sideways to let Shen Sijue in and signaled him to keep his voice down.
"Thanks."
Shen Sijue nodded, looked past the woman without squinting, and went straight to the bedroom pointed by Lu Jin. Xu Nanxing was curled up on the bed and fast asleep, her delicate eyebrows slightly wrinkled, as if there was something disturbing in her dream that made her restless.
Shen Sijue felt heartbroken when he saw it.
He naturally picked up Xu Nanxing and covered her with a quilt to prevent her from getting cold. The whole process was so smooth that Lu Jin was stunned.
Shen Sijue nodded slightly at Lu Jin, his voice polite and distant, "Thank you for taking her in."
Lu Jin reacted and lazily hit him.
"No thanks, this is my best friend. You go back and explain it to her. Next time, I won't let you pick her up so easily!"
Shen Sijue nodded, hugged Xu Nanxing and left quickly.
Why……
The woman leaning against the doorframe sighed quietly, looking at Sijue Shen's back as he took Xu Nanxing away, a trace of unbreakable sadness and admiration flashed in her eyes.
Nanxing, if you want to be happy, don’t be like me...
