When Zhong Xuexi saw Ruan Qing, a hint of anger flashed across her eyes, but she hid it well and still looked calm.

Before she could speak, Zhong Xueyuan took the lead and said, "Doctor Ruan, what a coincidence."

Her tone was gentle. Ruan Qing was the only person in the Ruan family whom she did not dislike, and she could feel Ruan Qing's kindness towards her, even though this "sister-in-law" did not like her when she first married into the Ruan family.

Zhong Xueyuan always thought that Ruan Qing's hostility towards her came from Zhong Xuexi.

After all, they are very good friends.

But later she divorced Wei Zhihe, and Ruan Qing came to care about her for no apparent reason.

She was even found to be suffering from so-called 'depression'.

From the beginning, Zhong Xueyuan didn't believe that she would get this strange disease. Later, when she realized that her condition was really not right, she slowly accepted Ruan Qing's kindness.

Ruan Qing didn't notice Zhong Xuexi's abnormality, but asked curiously, "Sister Xueyuan, I heard you were going to the capital. Are you saying goodbye to your family?"

Zhong Xueyuan glanced at her, her smile not reaching her eyes, "I guess so."

"When are you leaving? I'll see you off then." Ruan Qing intended to have a good relationship with her to avoid the tragedy in the original plot.

"Forget it. You're very busy on weekdays. The group will send a car to take me there when the time comes."

Hearing her deliberate refusal, Ruan Qing did not force it, "Okay, it's getting late, you should go back."

As she spoke, she winked at Zhong Xuexi, but she didn't even look at her and just pulled her sister away.

Ruan Qing put her hands on her hips, a little confused. "Hey! I don't think I've offended her, right? Why is she ignoring me?"

[If you have time to think about these things, you might as well think more about how to marry Zhong Heyang.]

The system's cold voice suddenly emerged.

Ruan Qing's lips twitched slightly. "Don't bring up such things! Do you think I don't want to get married? The problem is that I can't get married. If you have the guts, make them divorce."

System: [This is your mission, not mine.]

Ruan Qing was so angry that he laughed: "Then let me ask, if I haven't succeeded in the attack by the time the deadline comes, and I die, will you still exist?"

This question directly caused the system to shut down.

Although Ruan Qing didn't wait for an answer, silence was the best answer.

She fought back, "If I die, you'll be gone too, so instead of wasting your time trying to pua me, you might as well think of some other ideas!"

"Does Ruan Qing know about that?"

After walking away, Zhong Xuexi couldn't help but ask the doubts in her heart.

Zhong Xueyuan was slightly stunned, and said with a melancholy tone: "Do you know that it is meaningless now?"

Zhong Xuexi said, "This is very important to me. If she knew about this, but she aided and abetted the evil, and even lied to me, then there would be no need for me to recognize her as my friend."

Zhong Xueyuan stopped and looked at her. "That man is her brother. Even if she knew, she couldn't change anything."

"But……"

"Xue Xi." Zhong Xueyuan's eyes were slightly red, but her expression was gradually getting colder. "I don't blame you, nor do I regret my original decision, so you don't need to hold a grudge against him. It's good enough that you can see his true face and let him go completely. Just live your life well, and don't worry about the rest."

After she finished speaking, a faint smile appeared on her lips, "Don't send me off, go back quickly."

Without waiting for Zhong Xuexi's reaction, Zhong Xueyuan strode away.

"Miss..."

Zhong Xuexi called out softly from behind her, but the person in front did not turn back.

She followed her worriedly, but she didn't dare to walk side by side with her sister. She followed her all the way to the art troupe before giving up.

Lin Ziqiu was taken home by Zhong Heyang. She was drinking chicken soup in the house when she saw her sister-in-law coming back in a depressed mood. "What's wrong with you?"

Zhong Xuexi shook her head, said nothing, and returned to her room in silence.

"You don't have to worry about her, she can handle it herself." Zhong Heyang added another spoonful of chicken soup to her. At noon, grandma had left half of the chicken soup in a clay pot, specially for Lin Ziqiu, hoping that she would get pregnant sooner.

If I knew that they haven't consummated their marriage yet, I would probably be worried again.

Lin Ziqiu blinked, as if he had guessed something.

Zhong Heyang picked up a chicken leg from the clay pot and placed it in her bowl. "Eat more. My grandma may not be a great cook, but she's good at making soup. You've been so busy lately and you've lost weight. You need to eat more."

Lin Ziqiu was glad that she didn’t eat at the restaurant that night, otherwise she would definitely not be able to finish the big bowl of chicken soup when she got home.

"It's quite delicious, but I can't finish it all. I'll save the rest for tomorrow."

The weather is cold now, so it won’t go bad even if you leave it overnight.

Zhong Heyang knew that she didn't have a big appetite, so he couldn't force her to eat too much at night.

He sat beside her and threw wood into the firewood pile. "Xueyuan said she wanted to see you at noon."

Lin Ziqiu raised an eyebrow, "See me?"

"Yes, you don't have to be nervous. Xueyuan has a very good temper. We've been married for so long, and she hasn't even met you. Next week, she and Grandma are going to the capital with Nian Nian. We'll go see them off together then."

Zhong Heyang did not mention "that thing", but Lin Ziqiu almost understood it.

Under the current circumstances, what happened back then can only be put on hold.

You need to wait for the right time.

Lin Ziqiu felt a little sad. He had thought it was just a melodramatic love triangle, but he never expected there would be such a dirty thing.

"Grandma is going with them? Then we will be the only ones left at home?"

Lin Ziqiu had not expected this, and she felt a little complicated. Her grandmother really loved her, like a mother, and she was really reluctant to let her go. But as time went by, she still hadn't gotten pregnant, and she would definitely be induced to give birth.

If my grandmother were in the capital, she wouldn't be afraid of being far away from home.

Zhong Heyang leaned over and whispered in her ear, "It's a pity that my little sister is still here."

Lin Ziqiu was a little nervous because he was so close to her. "Isn't she fine at home? What are you thinking about?"

Zhong Heyang asked back: "Then why are you blushing?"

"I... why am I blushing?" Lin Ziqiu held the bowl with her back to him, "I just drank the soup, it was heated up!"

Zhong Heyang didn't expose her, and rubbed her head lovingly, "Okay, okay, you drink it first, I'll go boil some water, do you want to take a bath tonight?"

Lin Ziqiu was about to take a sip when he almost choked, "I...I won't wash it!"

Although she really wanted to take a shower, she would have to boil several pots of water, which was too much trouble!

"Then let's soak our feet later."

After saying that, Zhong Heyang got up and went to the yard to fetch water.

Lin Ziqiu put the soup bowl on the long bench and looked at the occasional sparks from the firewood pile, which made her face red.

If only she and Zhong Heyang were left at home...

Doesn't he want to take things a step further with me?

"Xiao Qiu! Come here!"
