Chapter 97: Took the Wrong Road Halfway.

Jiang Yubing just left the bathroom and smelled the fragrance of food.

The sound of the door opening naturally drew Shen Qingxuan’s attention.

He gently put down the bowl in his hand, then turned his head and looked over.

Watching Jiang Yubing walk toward him, he smiled and said, “Wife, why are you stealing my work?”

“Isn’t it because I saw husband cooking, so I dried my hair myself?”

Shen Qingxuan pulled out a chair for her, and after she sat down, he said softly, “Next time, it’s not allowed.”

Jiang Yubing gave a sweet smile, “Okay, husband!”

…

It was ten o’clock at night.

Looking at the beloved girl in his arms, Shen Qingxuan suddenly felt full of happiness.

He imagined this scene more than once, but unfortunately took the wrong road along the way.

Fortunately, he later met Bingbing.

Shen Qingxuan could not help feeling fortunate.

While he reflected on life, the phone on the coffee table that belonged to Jiang Yubing rang.

Shen Qingxuan reached out with a puzzled look and picked it up.

He looked at the caller ID and murmured, “Bai Youwei?”

Jiang Yubing was not asleep yet.

She opened her eyes when she heard the ringtone.

She asked lazily, “Husband, whose phone is it?”

“Did it wake you?”

“I wasn’t asleep yet!”

He patted her head and said, “It’s your good friend.”

Seeing the idiot husband hand over the phone, Jiang Yubing said gently, “You answer it, I will listen.”

They looked at each other and then shared a smile.

This small gesture from Jiang Yubing pushed their relationship one step forward.

Only two people who trusted each other lowered their defenses.

“All right.”

Shen Qingxuan agreed.

The phone connected.

Bai Youwei’s voice soon came through.

The voice was so low that Shen Qingxuan even wondered whether he forgot to turn on the speaker.

“Bingbing, are you sleeping?”

Jiang Yubing asked in confusion, “Not yet, what’s up?”

At this hour, Bai Youwei usually stayed at home.

Why was she speaking so softly?

“Is that little brother beside you?”

Jiang Yubing tugged his arm, and Shen Qingxuan immediately understood and coughed twice at the right moment.

The other end fell silent as soon as it heard his voice.

After a long silence, she finally spoke slowly.

“Bingbing, I have something important to ask you; can you step aside first?”

Judging from her behavior earlier, Bai Youwei appeared strange all night.

Could something have happened?

“Okay, wait for me.”

A little worried, Jiang Yubing quickly got up from Shen Qingxuan’s arms.

“Husband, if you are sleepy, go to bed first; don’t wait for me.”

After Shen Qingxuan nodded in agreement, she walked toward the balcony.

“All right, speak, Weiwei.”

“I came this afternoon to accompany Zhao Ran in reading…”

After listening to her account, Jiang Yubing roughly understood what happened.

Although she was not very close to Zhao Ran, she did not believe that the idiot husband’s best buddy was that kind of person.

Jiang Yubing said calmly, “Weiwei, maybe there’s some misunderstanding.”

“You two are often together; do you think he is that kind of person?”

“But… but only the two of us were there at that time!”

Jiang Yubing let out a long sigh.

Ah, this best friend of hers!

Sometimes her brain simply did not work.

The two of you already got your marriage certificate, and both fathers and mothers already agreed.

If Zhao Ran were really that kind of person, did he need to go that far?

However, she could not say this directly.

“Weiwei, go and eat first; I will let him ask Zhao Ran.”

“All right.”

On the other side.

Bai Youwei hung up the phone.

She felt a little scared and pressed her ear to the door, listening to the sounds outside.

She waited until she was sure Zhao Ran was asleep.

Only then did she tiptoe out of the bedroom.

She still felt uneasy after what happened that afternoon.

She felt uncertain in her heart.

She feared that Zhao Ran would lose control and do something to her.

If you thought this book was good and wanted to avoid losing it next time, you remembered to add it to the bookshelf.

Therefore, even now, Bai Youwei still had not eaten and kept an empty stomach.

But she just listened to Bingbing’s analysis.

The fear in her heart eased a lot.

Just as she sneaked by the sofa, the light in the living room flashed on.

Bai Youwei stiffly turned her head and saw Zhao Ran staring straight at her.

She was so frightened that she stepped back several paces.

Bai Youwei crossed her arms and warned, “Dead Zhao Ran, you can’t do this…”

It was over, all over.

Tonight this beautiful girl would become a young married woman like Bingbing.

Wuwuwu!

Zhao Ran looked at her appearance and found it very funny.

She usually argued with him everywhere.

It turned out that she merely relied on borrowed authority.

She really was a little coward.

If he did not answer Shen Qingxuan’s call just now, he would probably stay confused tomorrow.

So all her strange behavior this afternoon came from treating him as that kind of person.

Luckily, when he took a nap and saw Bai Youwei sleeping cutely, he secretly recorded videos.

Otherwise, he could not explain himself clearly.

He thought of this.

Zhao Ran decided to scare Bai Youwei and vent his anger.

Zhao Ran walked toward her with a smile.

Bai Youwei stepped back again.

Soon after, the wall blocked her retreat.

She leaned against the wall and obviously had nowhere to retreat.

She watched Zhao Ran come closer and closer.

Bai Youwei stopped struggling.

“Wuwuwu…”

She cried while thinking in her heart.

A young married woman was fine, a young married woman then.

She would survive until tomorrow.

Then she would look for Bingbing and ask her to avenge her.

He watched Bai Youwei cry in fright.

Zhao Ran’s heart tightened.

It seemed he went a bit too far.

He hurriedly squatted down and consoled her, “All right!”

“I’m just teasing you.”

“Huh?”

Bai Youwei froze and stopped crying.

“What do you mean?”

Zhao Ran did not explain. He took out his phone, opened the video, and handed it to her, “Watch it and you will know.”

Bai Youwei reached out, wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, and took the phone with a puzzled face.

After watching the video, she realized she misunderstood him.

Just as she let out a sigh of relief, she looked up and saw Zhao Ran with a half–smile.

“You…”

Zhao Ran asked in return, “What about me?”

Bai Youwei did not answer and wanted to slip away.

Zhao Ran’s smile made her feel a little uneasy.

“Where are you going?”

“To sleep.”

Zhao Ran directly blocked her and said, “You haven’t apologized to me yet. Apologize.”

Bai Youwei tried several times.

She still could not get past him.

She could only give up helplessly.

However, it was not good to keep stalling like this.

She knew that if she was wrong she must apologize; her mother taught her this since childhood.

After she thought it through, she lowered her head and whispered, “I’m sorry.”

Zhao Ran pretended not to hear, “What did you say?”

Bai Youwei puffed out her cheeks in anger.

Weren’t his ears usually sharp?

Why did he fail to hear at the critical moment?

He really forced her to say it again.

Humph!

That damned Zhao Ran was definitely doing it on purpose.

She endured!

After Bai Youwei took a deep breath, she said loudly, one word at a time, “I—said—I’m—sorry.”

“All right now.”

There was still a trace of anger in her voice, but her attitude already softened.

He looked at Bai Youwei’s unwilling yet helpless expression.

A ripple quietly rose in Zhao Ran’s originally calm heart.
