First spoiled, then love

Chapter 614 Did Xiaoyuan cheat on her?
After Boss Xuanyuan left, Chen Qingrong settled the tea bill and drove to the branch office.

He's here today mainly to check on the progress of the warehouse expansion project. This project is crucial to the company's future development, and he dares not slack off in the slightest.

As Chen Qingrong walked into the construction site, he suddenly heard a quarrel.

He looked in the direction of the sound and saw Gao Qiang arguing heatedly with a man who looked like a worker. Both of them seemed quite agitated.

Chen Qingrong frowned and strode over: "Gao Qiang, what's going on? Why are you arguing?"

Gao Qiang was visibly surprised to see Chen Qingrong, but quickly regained his composure.

Not wanting Chen Qingrong to worry, he said casually, "It's nothing, Lao Chen, just a small conflict. Don't worry about it, I can handle it."

Chen Qingrong wasn't so easily dismissed. He gave the two of them a sharp look, his tone leaving no room for argument: "There are a lot of hotheads working on the construction site. You're in charge of management, so you need to watch your words and actions. Your wife is due to give birth soon, so you'd better take it easy and not get into a fight. Who will take care of your wife and child then?"

Gao Qiang was amused by Chen Qingrong's words. He scratched his head and smiled awkwardly, "Don't worry, don't worry, I'm no stranger to construction sites. I know all about these things. But why are you here today? Is something urgent?"

Seeing that he didn't want to say more, Chen Qingrong didn't press him further, but explained, "I just had coffee with Boss Xuanyuan and came over to check on things. If you're not busy here, I'll head to the head office in a bit."

Upon hearing this, Gao Qiang hurriedly tried to persuade him to stay: "Hey, Lao Chen, you're already here, why don't you have a meal with me?"

Chen Qingrong rolled her eyes and said irritably, "What time is it? What are we eating for? By the way, where's Tianyi? Why isn't he here?"

Gao Qiang's expression changed slightly as he explained, "Tianyi's wife isn't feeling well and went to the hospital. I told him to go and stay with her, in case she miscarries."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qingrong's expression immediately turned serious: "Could it be as serious as a miscarriage? What happened?"

Gao Qiang shook his head, a hint of worry on his face: "I don't know the specifics yet, but I heard from his wife that her stomach is hurting a lot. I also advised him to go to the hospital to be with her, just in case something goes wrong."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qingrong felt a little anxious.

He knew that Zhou Tianyi and his wife had a deep affection for each other, and if something unexpected really happened, it would undoubtedly be a heavy blow to Zhou Tianyi.

Thinking of this, he couldn't care less about anything else and immediately took out his phone to call Zhou Tianyi.

The call was quickly answered, and Zhou Tianyi's slightly anxious voice came through: "Hello, Brother Chen, what's up?"

Chen Qingrong cut to the chase: "Tianyi, how is your wife now? Is she alright?"

Zhou Tianyi seemed to pause for a moment on the other end of the phone before reacting: "Brother Chen, you know too? It's okay, don't worry. My wife is much better now. The doctor said it was just a false alarm and nothing serious."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qingrong breathed a sigh of relief, but still couldn't help but add, "That's good, that's good. But you still need to stay with her at the hospital to make sure everything is alright. Don't worry about things at the construction site, Gao Qiang and I are here."

Zhou Tianyi said gratefully, "Thank you, Brother Chen. With you here, I feel much more at ease. I will stay with her at the hospital until she is fully recovered."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Qingrong's expression softened considerably.

He looked at Gao Qiang, his tone tinged with relief: "Tianyi is alright, it was a false alarm. But we must learn from this. No matter how busy we are at the construction site, we can't neglect our families. After all, our families are our strongest support."

Gao Qiang nodded and said with deep feeling, "Yes, Lao Chen is right. Those of us who are away from home are most worried about our families. I need to be more careful in the future and not neglect my family while focusing on work."

The two chatted for a while longer about things at the construction site. Seeing that it was getting late, Chen Qingrong got up to say goodbye: "Gao Qiang, I'm all done here. You go ahead with your work. I have to go to the head office. Contact me anytime if you need anything."

Gao Qiang saw him to the door, waving goodbye with a smile: "Alright, Lao Chen. Take care, I'll contact you as soon as I need anything."

Chen Qingrong drove away from the branch office, but he was still thinking about Zhou Tianyi.

Although it was a false alarm, it made him realize the importance of family even more.

After leaving the branch office, Chen Qingrong drove straight to the head office.

Along the way, he was filled with thoughts, both about the progress of the branch office warehouse expansion and about Zhou Tianyi's family situation.

However, the moment he stepped into the head office, all his distracting thoughts were temporarily put aside.

As soon as I entered the office, Deng Xiaoshuang walked towards me, holding a stack of documents in her hand, looking somewhat nervous.

"Mr. Chen, you've arrived," she greeted him, her voice tinged with a hint of reverence.

Chen Qingrong nodded, gesturing for her to sit down. "Xiao Shuang, is there something you need?"

He asked questions while flipping through the documents on the table.

Deng Xiaoshuang cleared her throat and began her report: "President Chen, this is the work summary for this month, as well as some activity plans for next month. In addition, I would like to apply for activity funds for next month."

After listening, Chen Qingrong looked up at her and said calmly, "As for the activity funds, you can just go to the finance department to apply for them. Follow the company's regulations; apply for what you need and get reimbursed for what you need."

Upon hearing this, Deng Xiaoshuang felt relieved and said gratefully, "Thank you, President Chen. I'll take care of it right away." After saying that, she got up and left the office.

Chen Qingrong continued working on his tasks, but not long after, his cell phone suddenly rang.

He glanced at the screen, which displayed Liang Qingyun's name.

Chen Qingrong's heart tightened, wondering why Liang Qingyun was calling at this time.

"Hey, Qingyun, what's wrong?" Chen Qingrong answered the phone, his tone showing concern.

On the other end of the phone, Liang Qingyun's voice sounded somewhat dejected: "Brother Erhu, I feel like Xiaoyuan is cheating on me."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qingrong was startled, but quickly regained his composure.

He knew Xiaoyuan well, knew what kind of girl she was, and knew that she would never do such a thing.

"Don't make wild guesses. I know what kind of person Xiaoyuan is, and you know her too. How could she possibly cheat on you? Is there some misunderstanding?" he said seriously. Liang Qingyun gave a bitter smile: "But these past few nights, she hasn't wanted to be intimate with me, and she comes home very late every night, sometimes even going out in the middle of the night. When I asked her what she was doing, she just said she was busy with her startup, but I asked Sister Bingbing, and they're never busy that late. This makes me suspicious."

After hearing Liang Qingyun's words, Chen Qingrong also had some doubts in his heart.

But he quickly thought of another possibility: "Instead of making wild guesses, you might as well have an open and honest talk with Xiaoyuan. I think it must be a misunderstanding; Xiaoyuan isn't that kind of person."

Liang Qingyun was silent for a while on the other end of the phone, seemingly thinking about Chen Qingrong's words.

Finally, he took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you, Brother Erhu. I'll have a good talk with Xiaoyuan and get things sorted out."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qingrong felt somewhat relieved.

He knew that as long as Liang Qingyun and Xiaoyuan could sit down and have a proper talk, the truth would eventually come out.

However, to Chen Qingrong's surprise, Liang Qingyun sent him a WeChat message late that night.

The content of the WeChat message surprised Chen Qingrong and left her both amused and exasperated.

"Brother Erhu, I talked to Xiaoyuan and confirmed that it was a misunderstanding."

Liang Qingyun wrote on WeChat, "Her unusual behavior lately is because my birthday is coming up, so she was learning to make handicrafts and planned to make a pair of bracelets for us by hand. Now the surprise has been ruined, and Xiaoyuan is very angry."

After reading the WeChat message, Chen Qingrong couldn't help but laugh out loud.

He replied, "You deserve it. Who told you to overthink things? Go and comfort your wife. Girls need to be coaxed."

Liang Qingyun quickly replied with a wry smile: "I understand, Brother Erhu. Thank you. If it weren't for your suggestion, I might still be guessing. Now that the misunderstanding is cleared up, I should go and comfort Xiaoyuan."

Chen Qingrong put down his phone and couldn't help but laugh.

Tang Xiaoru sat on the edge of the bed, playing with a magazine in her hand, but her eyes kept drifting to Chen Qingrong, who was laughing.

Seeing that he still had a smile on his face after putting down his phone, she finally couldn't resist her curiosity and asked, "What's wrong, Qingrong? What's so funny? Tell me so I can have a laugh too."

Chen Qingrong looked up, his gaze towards Tang Xiaoru filled with tenderness.

He chuckled and began to recount the misunderstanding between Liang Qingyun and Xiaoyuan: "It's all because of that kid Qingyun, who overthinks things and thinks Xiaoyuan is cheating on him. Guess what? Xiaoyuan was preparing a birthday surprise for him, making him a bracelet by hand! Now, the surprise is ruined, and Xiaoyuan is angry with him."

Tang Xiaoru couldn't help but laugh after hearing this.

She laughed and shook her head: "If I were Xiaoyuan, I'd be angry too. You go through all that trouble to prepare a surprise, only to have your husband suspect you of cheating. Anyone would feel terrible in that situation. But seriously, why are you men so insecure? You're always so suspicious."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qingrong rolled his eyes and sighed helplessly, "Hey, don't generalize, okay? It's not that all men are like this, it's just that some men are. I feel very secure, I have confidence in myself, and I have confidence in you too."

Upon hearing this, Tang Xiaoru tilted her head, a sly smile on her face: "Oh? If I were to act strangely like Xiaoyuan, coming home late and going out in the middle of the night, would you also suspect me?"

Chen Qingrong shook his head, his eyes resolute: "Absolutely not. I know you as well as I know myself. I know you're not that kind of person, and I believe you wouldn't do anything to betray me. I trust you completely."

Hearing this, Tang Xiaoru felt a warmth in her heart, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face: "That's more like it. But then again, trust is mutual, and I trust you too. In this complex and ever-changing world, it's really not easy to find someone who is willing to trust you unconditionally."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qingrong was deeply moved. He walked to Tang Xiaoru's side and gently took her hand: "Yes, Xiaoru, meeting you is the greatest luck of my life. In this society full of temptations and traps, it is truly not easy for us to support and trust each other and go through thick and thin together."

Upon hearing this, Tang Xiaoru's eyes reddened slightly. She gripped Chen Qingrong's hand tightly, her voice choked with emotion: "Qingrong, thank you. Thank you for your constant companionship and support."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qingrong felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

He gently pulled Tang Xiaoru into his arms and whispered, "Xiaoru, don't worry. No matter what difficulties and challenges we encounter in the future, I will be by your side, facing them and solving them together. I will prove my love and trust in you with my actions."

The two hugged each other tightly, as if they wanted to merge each other into their bodies.

In this peaceful night, their hearts found unprecedented comfort and fulfillment.

At that moment, Liang Qingyun was busy trying to make Xiaoyuan happy.

He knew he had really made a mistake this time; he shouldn't have made wild guesses about Xiaoyuan, and he shouldn't have ruined the surprise she had carefully prepared.

Fortunately, Xiaoyuan wasn't really angry with him; she just pretended to be angry and pouted, wanting him to coax her.

Looking at Xiao Yuan's adorable appearance, Liang Qingyun felt a pang of guilt and deep emotion.

He hugged Xiaoyuan tightly and whispered, "I'm sorry, Xiaoyuan, I was wrong. I shouldn't have doubted you, and I shouldn't have ruined your surprise. From now on, I will trust you more and understand you more, and we will walk hand in hand through every spring, summer, autumn and winter."

Upon hearing this, Xiaoyuan's eyes welled up with tears. But she quickly smiled again and hugged Liang Qingyun tightly: "Qingyun, I know you were wrong. But since you apologized so sincerely, I'll forgive you. However, you can't do this again in the future."

The two smiled at each other, and all the misunderstandings and estrangements disappeared at this moment.

They know that no matter what difficulties and challenges they may encounter in the future, as long as they can work together and understand each other, they will surely overcome every obstacle and usher in a better future.

The next morning, Chen Qingrong had a stomachache after getting up. He went to the toilet and squatted for 20 minutes. He hadn't come out by the time Tang Xiaoru got up.

Tang Xiaoru called out twice into the bathroom, "Honey, what's wrong? Why have you been squatting for so long? Is your stomach upset? Should we take some medicine or go to the hospital?"

Chen Qingrong quickly said, "It's okay, it's okay. My stomach isn't that fragile. I probably just ate some snacks before bed last night and got an upset stomach."

Tang Xiaoru said with a laugh, "I told you to eat less of those snacks. They're so spicy, eating them late at night will definitely upset your stomach. But you didn't listen to me. Now look what happened!"

"I'm counting on you to set a good example for the kids and tell them not to eat junk food. You can't even control your own appetite, how can you set a good example for them?"

"Don't worry about that. Although I can't control my own mouth, I can definitely control the mouths of the two of them."
