Chapter 574 - 572: What Should I Do?
Ji Niandong sniffed and couldn’t speak for a moment.
Li Siru slowly said, "Tongtong, don’t be sad! You’ve become sensitive and suspicious, always calculating things. This shows you’re afraid of losing him. But the more you act like this, the more you might actually lose him."
"I don’t want to be like this either!"
"I know!" Li Siru’s voice softened a bit, "Gu Xiyao returned to the country alone, and when she had an incident, no one was there to take care of her in the hospital. Although there are doctors and nurses in the advanced ward, there should be a family member present. She is Beichen’s little niece; it’s inevitable to visit her. Even taking Nian Nian to see her is reasonable. Tongtong, think carefully, if he really cared that much about Gu Xiyao, why would he let her marry someone else and marry you instead?"
She knew this as well, but always forgot it all at critical moments!
Ji Niandong tried hard to calm down a lot before saying, "Thank you, Sister-in-law. I do understand, but sometimes I just can’t control myself. I just want to find someone to vent to, somehow it makes me feel a bit better."
"Mm, you can always come to me; I’m here to be your listener anytime." Hearing her say this, Li Siru’s tone also relaxed, "I’m glad you think of me first."
"I... I’m just—" She stammered, not knowing what to say. Indeed, she thought of Li Siru first, as if to her, she was like a big sister, "Thank you, Sister-in-law."
"What is there to thank between us?"
After talking to Li Siru for a while, she really felt much better, then she wiped her tears and went out the door, realizing it wasn’t early, she quietly went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
When Lu Beichen returned with his son, he saw the little woman’s meal was almost ready.
As they walked over, Ji Niandong said, "Back already? Hurry up, wash your hands and eat!"
She spoke cheerfully as if nothing had happened, and Lu Beichen occasionally glanced at her, with the child around, it wasn’t appropriate to say much.
Once hands were washed, everyone sat down to eat, tacitly saying nothing, but no one spoke a single word.
Little Bun found something wasn’t right, occasionally eying the two adults in front of him, finally asking, "Did you guys argue again?"
Considering it was his dad who picked him up, he asked softly, "Was it because of me?"
Ji Niandong knew he was always very sensitive, and hurriedly explained, "How could it be because of you?"
"Then you did argue, right?"
The two adults were caught off guard by the child’s query; Ji Niandong simply looked away and said nothing.
Lu Beichen spoke softly, "Eat properly!"
Lu Sinian then ate his meal bite by bite, feeling that the atmosphere was really uncomfortable! He quickly finished eating and promptly said, "Dad, can you help me take a bath today?"
"Didn’t you say you didn’t need..." Before he finished speaking, he saw his son desperately blinking at him. It was so obvious, surely everyone saw it, right?!
Lu Beichen didn’t directly expose him, and agreed, "Alright."
While Ji Niandong was cleaning up the dishes, Lu Beichen was eagerly pulled into the room by his son. As the door closed, Little Bun folded his arms and demanded, "What did you do to Sister Tongtong again?"
Lu Beichen pressed his brow, "What I do with my wife, do I need to tell you?"
