Be in low spirits

"What else did mom tell you?" Is this mom hoping that he will get a divorce soon?

"You also said that you felt you had an obligation to take care of her, and that you were afraid I would just walk away, so you wanted to put the house in my name."

"Yes, every word is true."

"You are quite hypocritical. You can cheat mentally, but I can't do that when I meet him." She questioned him again with her head tilted back and eyes wide open.

In the dim environment, he looked into those eyes, his Adam's apple rolled unconsciously a few times, and after coughing twice, he said, "How did it become cheating? Isn't it normal for a brother to take care of his sister?"

"Ah~ the sister I took care of through marriage." She turned around and said with a tone that showed she knew everything.

"No, getting married is her wish. I agreed to make her feel better. Please believe me, okay?" He put his arm around her waist, trying to get closer to her.

"Okay, I believe you." She tried to pry his hands away from her waist.

"Really?" He refused to let go and kissed her hair to confirm once more.

She had no choice but to turn around, look into his eyes and say to him seriously, "Really."

"Then give me a kiss."

"It's late, time to go to bed." She patted his hand, hoping he would stop being so clingy.

"Last time you had a high fever, you told your mother that I was annoying. Do I really annoy you that much?"

"I had a high fever, how could I remember?" Unable to shake his hand away, she had to touch the scar on his chest.

"Then next time you're sick, can you come to me? Don't go to your mother?" If she continued to do this, he was afraid that he would not be able to control himself.

"No, I can't change this habit." She rejected him without thinking.

"Wife, you smell so good." He grabbed her hand that was touching him randomly, not going to endure it any longer.

"We agreed to go to bed." She was a little scared and raised her head to remind him again.

"Well, go to sleep." Then his kiss fell.

"Um... uh... wait a minute... have you taken off the ring?" She remembered something and wanted to grab his hand to see.

"How about changing to the one with the diamond?" He took off the ring and turned off the bedside light.

"Don't...if you keep doing this, you'll have to sleep on the sofa." Even though she had tried many times, she still couldn't figure out his attitude towards this kind of thing.

"Then can you please wear the ring? It's always in the box." He held her hand, raised it above her head, and carefully touched every inch of her body.

"You...slow down, I...um...uh...clothes..."

"Okay... I'll go slower..." His breathing gradually became heavier, and the lust in his body grew and spread in the darkness.

The curtains were gently blown by the breeze, causing ripples, and the roses downstairs bloomed quietly.

When the song ended, he hugged her, kissed her hair and asked, "Are you not tired this time?"

"I'm tired. Bring me my clothes and I'll put them on." The blush on her face had not yet faded, her lips were still a little swollen, and bruises were gradually appearing on her collarbone.

"I'll help you put it on tomorrow morning. It'll be most comfortable to hug you this way." He held her tighter.

"...Hateful." Her eyelids gradually couldn't hold up and she fell asleep.

Winter is coming and the weather is getting colder. The second son of the Zhao family is detained in a detention center because of a large amount of funds from unknown sources, and a securities company under the Liu family is also closed down for stock manipulation.

Kong Zhixi and her sister were having a barbecue downstairs, and they talked about Meng Yiran. Kong Zhiting looked like she knew about it beforehand and said, "I told you about it, but you didn't believe it."

"You mentioned it to me? You knew it a long time ago?" She really didn't realize it at all.

"I asked you this many years ago, and you said it was impossible." She chewed the skewers, looking as if it had nothing to do with her.

"When did you ask me that?"

"Didn't you attend a class reunion one year after you started working? Sister Yiran sent you back that night, and you drank a little?"

"I'm drunk and you ask me, who can remember?" She snatched the string from her hand and looked at her with a frown.

"No, the problem is not with me. You are too slow to understand these things. For example, my brother-in-law often came to our house for dinner before you got married. You must not remember him, right?" She picked up the skewers and started eating again.

"I know, but I'm renting a house outside, what does it have to do with me? Why should I remember that?"

"Then have you ever thought about this? Dad and my brother-in-law knew each other a long time ago, but why did my dad only know about your being a policeman after you were hospitalized?"

"About this matter, I did ask your brother-in-law to keep it a secret for me."

"In fact, he has been coming to our house for the past two years because of you, right?"

"I have no idea."

These things happened five years ago. She knew that she couldn't keep it secret for too long, but she hadn't figured out how to say it at the time. She told Li Li that she didn't want her father to know that she was a police officer.

"Then why did you register for marriage with him?" Kong Zhiting has always been curious about how two people suddenly got married quietly.

"It's just..." She nervously took a sip of Coke and pursed her lips, "I saw him on a mission before, and then... that happened... so that's what happened."

"What mission? What is that?" She was completely confused.

"In short, it's something that needs to happen before marriage, so you have to get married."

"Ah! It won't be just one night..." She was shocked. If her father knew about this, she would be kicked out of the house.

"Shh, keep your voice down."

"No wonder Dad couldn't figure it out. My brother-in-law is really capable. He has been scheming for a long time. I was wondering why he kept coming to our house during that period and asked me about you from time to time. When did you find out?"

"I didn't notice it. It's just that your brother-in-law always mentioned it to me, and then we registered. But before we got married, I told him that we would divorce after his mission was over. So in the two years after we got married, we didn't live together much."

"What mission? Have you ever thought that there is no such mission?"

"I've thought about it. Oh, none of this matters. I'm here to talk to you about Yi Ran." She remembered the topic of who came to see her today.

"You confronted her?"

"Probably."

"Then you probably can't even be friends anymore." Kong Zhiting knew her sister. She simply couldn't understand things like this.

Although the murderer in Zhang Xiaotang's case could not be identified, according to the confession of the gambler in the southern suburbs, she had met Zhao Zhiting before her death. Zhao Zhiting denied killing anyone, and the case was at a stalemate.

The issue of the house was once again on the agenda. While the two young people were free, Li's mother dressed up in her room, ready to accompany them to look at the house.

Kong Zhixi looked at the pregnancy test stick in the bathroom without any reaction.

"Zhixi, come here for a moment, I can't find my cell phone." Li Li walked around the room but couldn't find his cell phone.

She put the pregnancy test stick on the toilet and went to the room to find his phone.

Li's mother went to the bathroom and saw the pregnancy test stick, hid it, and quietly told Li's father, "Zhixi is pregnant."

Father Li also lowered his voice and said, "Zhixi told you? Does Xiao Li know?"

"She may want to tell Xiao Li herself, so don't let anything slip." The two of them sat on the edge of the bed and whispered.

"Then you have to buy a big and good house." Father Li was also very happy.

"Mom and Dad, let's go out." Li Li was changing his shoes at the entrance. Kong Zhixi walked around the bathroom and searched the trash can but couldn't find it, so she had to go out first.

"I'm coming." The two elderly people looked at Kong Zhixi with a smile. Mother Li took her hand and said, "Zhixi, have you felt uncomfortable these days? Tell me what you want to eat and I'll buy it for you."

"No, what's wrong?" She was confused.

"Mom, I want to eat that tomato beef and bean sprout soup. How about you buy some beef tonight?" Li Li asked shamelessly, leaning over his wife's shoulders.

"Eat, eat, eat. All you do is eat. Who asked you if you have earned enough money? Just order the food." Li's mother went out.

"What's wrong, Mom?" he asked, grabbing his wife's hand.

"I don't know." She was confused by such concern. "Ah, your mother wouldn't..." She suddenly clenched his hand.

"What will happen?" It was the first time that she held him so tightly. The corners of his mouth rose unconsciously. Looking at her wide eyes, he couldn't help but kiss her.

"Hey, go drive your car." She shook off his hand and caught up with Li's mother to ask something.
