Jian Yue's lips trembled slightly and tears welled up in her eyes.

He lowered his head, was silent for a moment, and then slowly said: "Grandma, I just feel that some things are difficult to deal with, and I don’t know what to do."

Zhang held Jian Yue's hand tightly and said, "Child, no matter what happens, you have to tell grandma."

Jian Yue took a deep breath and said a few simple words, "Grandma, I saw some scenes and felt very uncomfortable. I felt that something was disrupting our lives, but I'm not sure if I'm overthinking it."

After listening to this, Zhang pondered for a moment, and then spoke earnestly.

"Yueyue, people will always encounter some bumps and setbacks in their lives. Sometimes, what you see with your eyes may not be true, you have to feel it with your heart. But if something makes you feel a thorn in your heart, you can't just ignore it. Between husband and wife, the most important thing is trust, but this trust must be based on honesty. If you have any doubts in your heart, talk to Zeyuan, don't think about it alone and torture yourself like this."

Jian Yue listened to her grandmother's words, tears welling up in her eyes.

"I know. I'm just afraid... afraid of knowing some truths that I don't want to know."

Zhang stood up, walked to Jian Yue and held her in her arms.

"Don't be afraid, kid. No matter what the truth is, we must have the courage to face it. You are so smart, no matter what happens, you can handle it. If Zeyuan really does something to let you down, grandma will be the first one to not let him go."

Jian Yue leaned in her grandmother's arms, and her boredom seemed to ease a little.

This made sense. Escape was not a solution. She had to figure out what to do next.

After coming out of the house, she looked up at the sky. The sunlight was a little dazzling, but her eyes were much more determined than before.

Decided to find a suitable time to have a good talk with Jiang Zeyuan and clear everything up.

public security bureau

Jiang Zeyuan sat at his desk, but seemed a little absent-minded.

Colleagues around me are all busy with their own work.

A young subordinate came over with a stack of documents and stood respectfully in front of Jiang Zeyuan's desk.

"Director, this is the case information that has just been delivered. I need you to take a look at it."

Jiang Zeyuan looked at his subordinate with a somewhat empty look in his eyes. He was stunned for a moment before he reacted and reached out to take the document.

But his gaze only stayed on the document for a moment, and his thoughts drifted away again.

The subordinate began to report the basic situation of the case. "This case is a bit complicated. The identity of the victim is not clear yet, and the clues left at the scene are also vague. We have sent two teams to investigate the relevant clues..."

Jiang Zeyuan seemed to be listening, but his eyes were fixed on a certain word on the document.

What came to his mind was Jian Yue's sad and angry eyes, and the tense atmosphere between them in the morning.

"Director, Director?" The subordinate raised his voice a little, trying to draw Jiang Zeyuan's attention back.

Jiang Zeyuan suddenly came back to his senses, "Ah? Go on."

"Based on the current clues, it is speculated that the suspects may be a gang member. We need to deploy more police forces to carry out surveillance."

Jiang Zeyuan nodded, but asked absentmindedly: "Gang? How many people are there?"

The subordinate frowned and replied: "It is not clear yet, but judging from some traces at the scene, there are at least three people."

At this moment, the phone on the table suddenly rang.

I picked up the phone and heard a colleague's voice on the other end, "Chief, we found a suspicious person who may be related to the case. Would you like to come and see?"

Jiang Zeyuan responded and stood up, but almost tripped over the leg of a chair.

After calming down, he said to his subordinate, "Put the information here."

......

In the afternoon, Jian Yue arrived at the kindergarten on time to pick up Xiaoyi and Yaoyao.

The children flew into her arms.

Jian Yue smiled and took the children back home.

As soon as I entered the house and saw the familiar environment, I inexplicably wanted to eat hot pot.

Maybe he wanted to use the hot and spicy taste to dispel the haze in his heart.

Busy in the kitchen, preparing the base of the pot and ingredients.

After a while, the aroma of hot pot filled the whole house.

Jiang Zeyuan returned home as usual, and was attracted by the smell of hot pot as soon as he entered the door.

He looked at Jian Yue with some surprise.

But Jian Yue just glanced at him indifferently and continued to fiddle with the tableware.

Jiang Zeyuan's smile froze on his face. He noticed that the atmosphere was not right, but he still pretended to be relaxed and walked over to amuse the children.

The whole family sat around the hot pot. It should have been a warm and lively scene, but the atmosphere during today's hot pot meal was a bit dull.

Xiaoyi and Yaoyao also sensed something strange between their parents, and ate their food obediently, without the playfulness they used to have.

Jiang Zeyuan tried several times to bring up the topic and ease the atmosphere.

But Jian Yue simply responded with one or two words and never looked him in the eye.

However, Jian Yue did not let this depressing atmosphere affect her appetite.

Eat with hearty mouthfuls, trying to swallow all the grievances and frustrations of the past few days along with the delicious food.

Yes, I haven’t had such a satisfying Chinese meal in a long time!

The hot and spicy taste spread in her mouth, making her forget her troubles temporarily.

In the evening, after washing up, the children stopped pestering her to sleep together, as if they had agreed on it.

Jian Yue felt warm in her heart. She lay on the bed with the children and told them a few stories. Soon the children fell asleep.

Tiptoe back to your room.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw Jiang Zeyuan sitting beside the bed, their eyes met, staring at each other.

The air seemed to freeze, and silence spread between the two.

Jiang Zeyuan broke the silence first, "Wife, we need to talk."

Jian Yue looked at him coldly without saying anything. She just walked to the dressing table, sat down, and began to slowly comb her hair.

Jiang Zeyuan looked at her back, took a deep breath, stood up, walked behind her, and looked into her eyes in the mirror.

"I know that no matter what I say today, it may be difficult for you to calm down. But I still want to tell you that I really know I was wrong. I shouldn't have been so close to another woman when you were not around, causing you to misunderstand."

Jian Yue paused for a moment with the comb in her hand, then continued combing.

"Misunderstanding? Do you think it's just a misunderstanding? When I saw you guys talking and laughing, it felt like a knife stabbing my heart. I thought about you guys every day when I was abroad, but when I came back I saw a scene like this."

Jiang Zeyuan squatted down and held her hand to stop her from fiddling with the comb.

"Wife, I really didn't mean it. I didn't know how to handle it. I swear, I will never do this again. I don't want to lose you because of my stupid behavior."
