463 The Secret About the Past 81 (2/2)

Hearing her words, Lin Mingxi was rather ashamed. ”I might really be overthinking. And also, with Sister-in-law's words, it's hard for me not to think about it. But hearing you say these, I can rest assured now.”

An Xiaoning responded plainly, ”It's good that everything is out now then. If you listen to what Xu Youran says, she'll only mislead you. Furthermore, I'm someone with boundaries and morals. If you really can't rest assured, then other than for work matters, I won't see Beicheng anymore in the future. Will that do?”

Lin Mingxi was startled by her response and hurriedly replied, ”No, no, I'm already assured. Don't ruin the relationship between you both because of me. It's me who's being too petty. Although I'm well aware that it's impossible between the two of you, I still can't help but allow my thoughts to run wild. Sorry.”

”It's okay. Anyway, it still comes down to Beicheng not giving you a stronger sense of security.” An Xiaoning turned to the man at one side who kept silent. ”Your wife's worries are not completely unreasonable, but I know you're someone who's disciplined and upright. Hopefully, you'll let Mingxi understand it clearer. That way, she'll be more assured. You both have a good talk, I'll be heading over there.”

Gu Beicheng nodded and glanced at his wife, letting out a sigh. ”You've asked what you wanted and she's given you your answer. Do you have any other worries?”

Lin Mingxi got up and went to sit beside him. ”No, Honey. I'm sorry. I apologize to you. I was being unreasonable.”

Gu Beicheng held onto her hand. ”Let's not bring up this matter anymore in the future, lest we all get unhappy. What would Xiaoning have thought of what you said to her just now? We were originally like family to begin with and got along well. Because of what you said, there would definitely be some awkwardness between us from now on. We won't be at ease with each other as well.”

”I regret what I said earlier too. Honey, don't be angry anymore, okay?”

”I'm already not angry. Xiaoning's right. It's me who didn't give you a stronger sense of security.” Gu Beicheng somehow felt it was hard for him to get over matters of his heart, but he had to try hard. He had to try to get over An Xiaoning. Try…

Jin Qingyue kept Jin Bao'er with her for a few days, but eventually, she still could not handle her tantrums.

When Shi Shaochuan came to fetch her, Jin Qingyue expressed that she wanted to have a talk with him.

Shi Shaochuan then made Bao'er get onto the car first.

With one hand in his pocket, he appeared cold and detached. ”What do you want to say?”

”Shi Shaochuan, the child is five going on six this year already. Can you let her wear something when she sleeps beside you at night?”

”So what if she's five going on six years old? The weather is so hot, what's wrong with sleeping naked? She can sleep in whatever way she likes, why are you being so strict on her?”

Jin Qingyue retorted, ”She's a girl, do you get it? Also, Shi Shaochuan, I will never remarry you again. Even if I die, I won't. So, stop asking the child to tell me those things. It's impossible for us to ever get married again.”

”Do you think I want to remarry you?” Shi Shaochuan already expected she would say this. With his lips tightly pursed together, he went on, ”Do you still think you're still an innocent young girl? You're like a torn shoe that I've discarded. Do you think I would consider reusing something I've discarded? That's just what the child thinks. It doesn't mean it's my idea, okay?”

Being insulted this badly by him, Jin Qingyue tried her best to retaliate. ”If I'm an old shoe that's been discarded, what are you? You've played with so many women, aren't you a smelly drain? To think you still have the face to insult me. What kind of branded good do you think you are? My whole life has been ruined by you already. I must have been blind and stupid in the past, getting married to you was the worst decision I've ever made in my whole life!”

”Really? But reality has proven that no matter how many women we men have played with, it'll still be a piece of cake for us to find women. How about you? There's no brave man who'd dare to marry you, right? Your indecent deeds have already been exposed to the whole world.”

”Isn't that all thanks to you?!” Jin Qingyue was seething with rage as she breathed heavily. ”Shi Shaochuan, you're the most shameless person in this whole world.”

”So what if I am? Look at the child you've raised.” He lowered his voice and went on, ”The child you've raised isn't even willing to be with you. Jin Qingyue, this is your biggest failure. Do you get it?”

Jin Qingyue had her hands clenched tightly as she watched him turn and get onto the car smugly. Flames were spurting out of her eyes.

With all the rage, grievance, and regret kept inside her, she was completely overwhelmed inside and had nowhere to vent it out.
