Chapter 39

“Qingli, what’s wrong with you?” Zhou Yubai hurried forward and placed his hand on Shen Qingli’s forehead.

Shen Qingli pulled Zhou Yubai’s hand away with a grim expression.

“There is nothing between me and Song Xiaocao. There has never been anything between us. I swear…”

Shen Qingli didn’t wait for Zhou Yubai to finish speaking and covered his lips with her hand.

“I know, but I’m still very angry.” Shen Qingli leaned into Zhou Yubai’s arms, her voice full of grievance.

Zhou Yubai tightened his embrace, “I’m sorry for making you angry.”

Shen Qingli wrapped her arms around Zhou Yubai’s waist and said softly in an angry voice, “That Song Xiaocao risked jumping into the water and dragged you along. Her words were so ambiguous. If I wasn’t there, many people would think you had something to do with her.”

Zhou Yubai’s face looked grim. “It should be the Zhou family who ordered it.”

Shen Qingli silently gave Zhou Yubai a thumbs up in her heart. He was indeed her man, so smart.

I’ve guessed it almost right.

“You’ve already severed your relationship with them, but you’re still entangled with them.” Shen Qingli cursed in a low voice, then changed the subject, “You’ve basically given all your allowance to them. Do they know about your other ways of making money?”

Zhou Yubai shook his head. He had never told them how he made money.

“Since they don’t know that you can make money in other ways, why do they go to so much trouble to do so?” Shen Qingli continued to analyze.

Zhou Yubai’s expression changed from gloomy to a solemn one.

Does anyone know that he brought it back from the army…

“Yubai, I’m talking to you, why are you ignoring me?” Shen Qingli gently hit Zhou Yubai.

“I will be careful, don’t worry, I will keep a distance from that Song Xiaocao.” Zhou Yubai comforted Shen Qingli in a gentle voice for a while.

The two of them went out to eat together.

Shen Qingli walked behind Zhou Yubai, the light in her eyes dimmed slightly.

Just now Zhou Yubai thought of something that the Zhou family was worried about.

But he didn’t confess to himself.

Shen Qingli sighed softly in her heart. She understood Zhou Yubai’s concealment. It might be because he was involved in too many things, or it might be because of some unspeakable reason…

But, even though I understand, I still can’t help feeling a little disappointed.

Shen Qingli lowered her eyes. She was hiding something from Zhou Yubai.

There are some things that just can’t be confessed. If you insist on doing so, you’ll be the one who suffers.

Shen Qingli quickly comforted herself, and the four of them had dinner together.

After dinner, everyone went to bed early.

the next day.

Shen Qingli slept until after eight o’clock. When she got up, Zhou Yubai had already gone to work on the river bank.

When Gou Wa and Niu Niu saw Shen Qingli get up, they felt relieved.

“Mom, how do you feel now? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?” the two little ones asked with concern.

Shen Qingli smiled and said, “It’s okay. I’m sorry for making you worry.”

“I’m glad you’re okay. Dad is more worried about Mom.” said Gou Wa.

Shen Qingli rubbed Gou Wa’s head. This kid was quite smart. He could see that there was something awkward between her and Zhou Yubai, so he spoke well of Zhou Yubai whenever he got the chance.

My son was not raised in vain.

The three of them chatted for a while, Shen Qingli ate something simple, and then went back to her room to do some laundry.

The road outside was still difficult to walk on, and she didn’t want to go out.

For seven consecutive days, Zhou Yubai worked on the river bank.

Shen Qingli was at home with the two little ones. New clothes were ready for everyone, and Gou Wa’s injury had healed. As long as he didn’t run too hard, it would not affect his normal walking.

Everything in the village began to return to its normal rhythm.

When Shen Qingli had nothing to do, she would take Gou Wa and Niuniu to the foot of the mountain to pick wild vegetables.

After Zhou Yubai finished his work on the riverbank, the team gave the people working there a day off.

Before going to bed at night, Zhou Yubai told Shen Qingli about the holiday.

“Take a rest tomorrow. I will ask the captain for a letter of introduction tomorrow morning. Let’s go around the town. See if you need anything and buy it back.” Zhou Yubai said.

“I want to go to the black market.” Shen Qingli raised her eyes.

“Black market?” Zhou Yubai was stunned.

“I used to live in the city, and there was a black market there. I wanted to go and take a look at it, but no one at home took me there.” Shen Qingli said in a low voice.

When she occasionally found time to practice through the secret passage these days, she used her wood-related abilities to get a lot of good things, and she wanted to sell them.

They now have two children to raise.

It always feels more reassuring to save more money, notes and food.

Zhou Yubai hesitated for a moment, but still nodded, “If you want to go, I’ll take you there.”

Shen Qingli smiled softly, she liked Zhou Yubai’s willingness to respond to requests the most, “Then don’t bring Gou Wa and Niu Niu tomorrow, let them stay at home with Xiao Hei.”

“Well, I’ve also received news from my comrades-in-arms. They have delivered the retired military dogs to me. We will take the dogs home directly after we finish our work tomorrow. We will also handle the household registration for Gou Wa and Niu Niu.” Zhou Yubai said.

“Okay.” Shen Qingli nodded obediently, her soft look was particularly attractive.

Zhou Yubai lowered his head and kissed Shen Qingli on the cheek.

Since the incident with Song Xiaocao, the two of them haven’t been intimate with each other.

Although Shen Qingli didn’t say anything these days, Zhou Yubai still felt her unhappiness.

So Zhou Yubai has been holding back these past few days, but now that he has a soft and fragrant girl in his arms, he can’t stand it anymore…

“What are you doing?” Shen Qingli hooked her arm around Zhou Yubai’s neck, her eyes full of cuteness, “Didn’t you say you wouldn’t touch me? Why are you kissing me?”

Zhou Yubai’s Adam’s apple rolled, he’s such a little devil.

“I-I thought you didn’t want to.”

“I don’t want to do it now either, you go down.” Shen Qingli pouted, with a blush at the corners of her eyes, and her whole body exuding tenderness, making Zhou Yubai almost lose control instantly.

“Qingli, please stop torturing me, okay?” Zhou Yubai’s low and hoarse voice fell into Shen Qingli’s ears…

He was clearly begging her, but he was the annoying little devil.

“Let’s see if you dare to endure it next time.” Shen Qingli tilted her head back and gently bit Zhou Yubai.

Zhou Yubai exclaimed softly.

In the night, who is sinking and who is awake…
