239 Heart Hurts Too Much to Even Breathe 3 (1/2)

Shi Shaochuan only came back at ten o'clock. He was not completely fatigued; on the contrary, he looked extremely energetic.

Seeing that Jin Qingyue had not slept yet and was reading a book, he went forward and kissed her. ”Honey, why aren't you asleep? If you don't sleep, our baby won't get sleep either.”

”I was waiting for you. I can only see you at night every day. You're gone in the morning when I wake up. Why are you going to the office so early?”

”It's been busy at the company lately. After this period of time, it won't be so busy anymore.” Shi Shaochuan straightened his body and told her, ”I'll go and get a bath.”

”Umm, okay.”

Jin Qingyue placed the book aside, waiting for him to come out.

Ten minutes later, Shi Shaochuan came out wiping his wet hair and got onto the bed in his bathrobe. ”It's not good for a pregnant woman to stay up late, you should sleep earlier.”

”Honey.” She nestled beside him voluntarily and hugged him. ”I want to do that with you.”

”No, we can't. Let's wait for over ten days, the child is still small now. What if I exert too much strength and we lose the child…”

”Tsk, you're being exaggerating.” Jin Qingyue laughed. ”It'll be fine if you do it gently.”

But Shi Shaochuan no longer had the strength; all his strength had been bled dry by Xu Jingwen today.

”Be good, listen to me. Let's just think of the child first.” He kissed her lips. ”It's so hard on you being pregnant now, I don't want anything to happen to the child. It'll be irresponsible towards you and the child.”

Jin Qingyue felt comforted yet slightly uncomfortable at the same time, but she still held it in. ”Didn't you say that your mate ran over someone, how is the person now?”

”The person was successfully saved. Everything's fine now, I've paid them already.”

”Umm. Can't he be more careful when he drives?”

”Exactly.” He pulled the covers over him. ”Alright, let's go to sleep.”

Jin Qingyue acknowledged him. For the whole night, she had nightmares.

As a result, the following day, she was not in a good state of mind.

That led to her temper being unstable as well.

She made a call to Shi Shaochuan's mate, and someone picked up only at the second try.

”Hello?”

Jin Qingyue spoke, ”I'm Shaochuan's wife. Yesterday night, I heard from Shaochuan that you ran over somebody. Is everything settled now?”

The person on the line responded, ”Ran over somebody? Me?”

Jin Qingyue was surprised. ”Yes, didn't you run over somebody last night and sent the person to the hospital with Shaochuan?”

”Erm, Sister-in-law, I think you called the wrong person? I haven't seen Shaochuan in two months already. I was at home the whole of last night and I didn't run over anyone.”

Jin Qingyue was obviously not taken in. ”Aren't you XX? He only has you as his mate, would I have called the wrong person? I say, what's going on? That was what he told me, why are you claiming that it's not true? He even said that he lent you money for compensation to settle the matter.”

The person on the line was slightly angered. ”Sister-in-law, there's nothing of that sort. Although my family has gone bankrupt, I'm not in the state where I have to borrow money from Shaochuan. Worst still, there's nothing of that sort that happened. Saying that I ran over somebody, are you trying to curse me?”

Jin Qingyue's heart momentarily turned cold. Judging from the person's tone, it was obviously Shaochuan who lied.

Why did he lie to her?

”Well, if there's nothing of that sort, then forget it.”

The person on the other end kept silent and ended the call just like that.

From what she knew, his only mate was the person that she just called. What was he doing last night that he came back so late and lied to her?

Could it be that he went to the nightclub to find women to satisfy his needs?
