"No way!?" Zhu Huixi’s face filled with horror, "Isn’t Xiao Guai really unlucky then?"
They couldn’t stand being around Lu Rong for even a month; if she really lived near Xiao Guai’s house...
"Can your husband try to get promoted again?" Yang Xiaoli asked with a troubled look.
"It’s not about getting promoted." Lin Xiaoguai sighed, "The new house we moved into is very nice in every aspect. According to Shen Chi, we probably won’t move again."
"I see." Zhu Huixi looked regretful, "Although Lu Rong lives in a relative’s house, she probably won’t stay there forever, right?"
Lin Xiaoguai shook her head, feeling somewhat uncertain as the relationship between Mrs. Huang and Lu Rong always seemed odd to her.
"Dad, why are you so late today?" When Shen Chi arrived, Little Niangao was the only child left at the kindergarten. Seeing him, Little Niangao’s nervous and uneasy expression immediately turned into one of grievance.
"Sorry, Dad is late." Shen Chi picked him up and kissed him on the cheek.
—He originally wasn’t used to being so affectionate with children, but influenced by Lin Xiaoguai, he gradually got used to expressing his love for his son through physical touch, and unknowingly, he adapted this method for his wife as well.
Little Niangao hugged his head and kissed him back twice, slightly scared as he said, "Last time, Orange’s dad didn’t come to pick her up either, and later her grandma came. I heard her dad was hit by a car into the sky, I was so worried the same would happen to dad."
"What hit into the sky?" Shen Chi responded, feeling a bit guilty and perplexed.
"Teacher Wen told Orange that her dad would watch over her from the sky, so doesn’t that mean her dad was hit into the sky?" Little Niangao didn’t understand what death meant and just tried to make sense of the adults’ words in his own way.
Shen Chi found it funny but couldn’t laugh; he reached out and touched his head, "Sorry, Dad ran into some trouble today, which is why I was late. It won’t happen again. Even if I can’t arrive on time, I’ll call Little Niangao first."
"How about a pinky promise?"
"Alright, pinky promise, hang for a hundred years, never change."
Father and son played a childish game, while resting their heads against each other.
Wen Yu watched from a side, feeling relieved but with moist corners of her eyes, wishing her husband was still alive...
Father and son, affectionately close, walked home while Little Niangao chattered about his "great achievements" at kindergarten. Shen Chi wasn’t impatient at all, listened very earnestly, and occasionally gave his opinions.
Lu Rong, waiting at the entrance of the Military District, saw such a scene. Her expression twisted with jealousy, but soon returned to normal.
—Just wait, as soon as she spilled the beans about Lin Xiaoguai’s promiscuity, that bastard would definitely face wrath too.
"Wait, wait!" Seeing that the two passed by as if they hadn’t seen her, Lu Rong hurriedly reached out to stop them. Only then did she realize she only knew he was Lin Xiaoguai’s husband but didn’t know his name.
"Do you need something?" Recognizing who she was, Shen Chi unconsciously furrowed his brow.
"Do you remember me? I’m Lu Rong, Lin Xiaoguai’s roommate." At this moment, Lu Rong selectively forgot the fact that she had been expelled from Capital University.
Her gaze intensely fixed on Shen Chi, her heart pounding fiercely; she had never seen such a handsome man with so much manliness before.
Shen Chi nodded, without any intention of introducing himself.
Lu Rong felt disappointed, but quickly regained her energy, "I have something to tell you, it’s about Lin Xiaoguai."
Shen Chi raised an eyebrow, uninterested. Their previous meeting was enough to let him see what kind of person Lu Rong was. Even if he wanted to know if Wanwan was in some kind of trouble, there was no need to engage with such a liar.
Thinking this, he was about to walk away.
Lu Rong, remembering the slap from last time, didn’t dare to grab him, and couldn’t help but shout loudly, "Lin Xiaoguai has gotten close to other men, she became a slut!"
Shen Chi turned around sharply, his cold gaze piercing her like a sword, his deep voice filled with immense anger, "Slandering someone!"
He admitted, he felt a moment of tension and panic upon hearing Lu Rong’s words, but that was just a man’s instinctive concern for the woman he loved. He quickly realized the credibility of Lu Rong’s words was nonexistent; he knew Wanwan’s pride, and she would never be unclear with another man while still married to him.
