Jia Rongding returned home with a lot of anger.

Shang Ruyu was quite surprised to see him come back, "Why did you come back without telling me in advance? I didn't prepare any food, so I ate in the cafeteria."

Shang Ruyu felt a little embarrassed. She and Jia Rongding had been married for two years, but their relationship was cold as ice. Jia Rongding was very busy and seldom came home. Even when he did, he was very indifferent to her.

Worse than the workers.

"I won't eat. I'm just going to get some clothes. Corey has a big job. I'll be staying in the dormitory lately."

Shang Ruyu felt uncomfortable when she heard this expected answer.

She knew that Jia Rongding didn't love her and he had to marry her, but she always fantasized that one day in the future Jia Rongding would see her good side.

"I'll prepare it for you."

Shang Ruyu packed his clothes while casually chatting with him, "Mom came yesterday, but left when she saw you were not there."

"What's the matter?"

"I just wanted to see you, and by the way..." Shang Ruyu nervously put the new clothes into the bag, gritted her teeth and said, "By the way, ask when we plan to have a baby."

What Grandmother Jia said was very unpleasant, saying that she was a hen that didn't lay eggs.

Can she be blamed for this? How can she have a child alone?

A hint of displeasure flashed across Jia Rongding's face, but he also knew that Shang Ruyu was not to blame for this matter. It was his parents who were anxious to have a grandson that kept urging him.

"Are they saying nasty things again?"

Shang Ruyu knew Jia Rongding's personality. He was the most protective of his shortcomings. He could say that the people in the Jia family were bad, but he couldn't say anything about himself. Although she was Jia Rongding's wife, in his heart, she was an outsider.

"I don't blame Mom. We've been married for two years, and there's been no movement on my end. It's no wonder she and Dad are unhappy."

Jia Rongding felt very annoyed. He knew that he was sorry for Shang Ruyu, but he had something on his mind and couldn't let it go, so it was impossible for him to get too close to her.

"Xiao Yu, you know that...Xi Ning was so injured back then. In order to save me, she will never be able to be a mother again. I, I can't have a child. You also know that. I have said it a long time ago."

Shang Ruyu had heard this excuse many times, but she really couldn't understand it.

Even if Xi Ning couldn't be a mother in order to save him, there was no need for him not to have children! There were many ways to repay a favor. They could help Xi Ning adopt two children.

If it really doesn't work, can't they set aside a sum of money every month to support Xi Ning?

Shang Ruyu felt very aggrieved, her eyes were red, "Xi Ning, is she that important to you?"

"What are you doing?"

Jia Rongding raised his eyes unhappily, "She is my childhood friend and she saved my life. Shouldn't I be nicer to her? I...I have to make sure Xi Ning has a place to stay, right? How can I live with peace of mind if she doesn't get married?"

Tears finally fell from Shang Ruyu's eyes. "But her marriage is difficult. If she can't get married for the rest of her life, will you..."

Before she could finish her words, there was a bang behind her. Jia Rongding knocked over the washbasin rack, and water spilled all over the floor.

"What nonsense are you talking about? If you can get married, how can Xiao Ning not get married?"

Shang Ruyu's face turned pale, "You, what do you mean?"

"Xiao Ning is a very good person. What can you say about her? Are you jealous of her?" Jia Rongding strode forward and pushed Shang Yuru hard, knocking her to the ground.

"Let me tell you, Xiao Ning is a thousand times better than you. What qualifications do you have to be jealous of her?" After saying that, he picked up the toiletries bag that Shang Ruyu had packed, turned around and left.

Shang Ruyu was extremely upset and she hugged her knees and started crying. She didn't know why things had turned out like this. He had proposed to marry her because he liked her.

Xi Ning, why is she everywhere...

Jia Rongding returned to the dormitory with an angry face, and couldn't help sulking when he sat on the bed.

Who the hell is Shang Ruyu? She is just an orphan, and she dares to compete with Xi Ning.

He was angry and remembered that he had seen Xi Ning smiling at Si Lu and bringing him food.

Si Lu must have deceived Xi Ning. He is obviously a married man, yet he dared to harass Xi Ning.

The more I thought about it, the angrier I got, so I just put my bag down and went to find Xi Ning.

Xi Ning also works for the National Security Bureau, but she is an office worker, doing clerical work such as record keeping and filing.

Jia Rongding went to the dormitory to find Xi Ning, but was told that Xi Ning was not there and had gone out.

"What did she do?"

"I don't know. Xi Ning has been going out a lot lately, acting mysterious. Maybe he's in a relationship?"

Jia Rongding left the dormitory building angrily. Standing at the door, he felt more and more that something was wrong. Could it be that Xi Ning went to see Si Lu again?

"Damn it, what's the point of talking to a married man? I'm going to uncover Si Lu's true identity right now."

Jia Rongding was right, Xi Ning really went to find Si Lu.

She took the fruit she had cut and presented it to Lawyer Si, saying nicely, "Deputy Director Si, I cut this specially for you. Investigating cases is tiring, so eat some fruit to cool down."

The words "frustrated" were already written all over Si Lu's face.

"Secretary Xi, didn't I tell you that you and I can only talk about business? Don't come to me when you have nothing to do?" Si Lu turned Xi Ning away the moment she wanted to enter.

"I have a wife and children, so I have to keep my distance from you single girls. I don't want others to misunderstand me, and I don't want to hear any rumors that are detrimental to unity. Do you understand?"

This was actually said quite tactfully, to save face for Xi Ning, but she looked as if she had suffered a great injustice, with tears in her eyes.

"Brother Si, am I not doing something good enough, or have I done something wrong? Why do you hate me?!"

Si Lu's last bit of patience disappeared completely. He immediately stood up, picked up his coat, locked his office door, and left.

He originally wanted to work overtime and finish the things at hand before leaving, but when Xi Ning came, he didn't want to stay for a second and had to leave immediately.

Xi Ning didn't want to give up at first, and wanted to go out with Si Lu. It would be best if someone saw them going out together, so that some confusing things would be revealed!

She didn't care at all whether Si Lu had a wife or a family. She heard that his wife was a researcher and must be a dull, wooden and boring girl. In comparison, she was lively and pretty, a gentle and charming woman. As long as she stayed by Si Lu's side patiently and cared for him all the time, was she still afraid that she could not impress him?

"Brother Si, wait for me."

Si Lu was tall and had long legs, and he walked fast, so he distanced himself from her in just a few steps.

Just as Xi Ning was about to chase after him, she heard someone calling her. When she turned around, Si Lu had disappeared.

"Who is walking so fast?"

A trace of anger flashed across Xi Ning's face, but when he turned around and looked at Jia Rongding, he returned to normal.

"Brother Jia, why are you here?"
