Chapter 29

She gasped for breath several times before picking up the phone. “Rebirth? Are you saying she’s a reincarnated person?”

Qin Hua replied, “Yes.”

He Yunzhen forced a smile to steady herself. “Hua-jie, listen to yourself. Do you really believe what you’re saying? How could such a thing exist in this world?”

Qin Hua said, “I didn’t believe it at first either, but it’s the truth.”

He Yunzhen became a bit emotional. “What truth? You’ve all been fooled by her lies. Is this scientific? We’re all Party members—”

Qin Hua cut her off. “Then explain this: why can we hear her inner thoughts?”

He Yunzhen froze on the spot, her whole body stiffening. She couldn’t explain it. She was silent for a long time.

Qin Hua continued, “And one more thing—Xiao Chen probably didn’t have time to tell you, but Old Chen and I have decided to adopt Sisi as our goddaughter.”

He Yunzhen exclaimed, “No, you’re crazy! You’ve all gone mad!”

She hung up the phone, still unable to calm down.

A reincarnated person?

She didn’t believe it!

It was utterly ridiculous!

But one thing was certain—there was something off about Song Si. Maybe that’s why her son had lost all reason and ended up like this? And now, Old Chen and her best friend Qin Hua had also lost their minds just like her son.

Could it be that Song Si was some kind of seductress?

Realizing the absurdity of her own thoughts, she felt even more ridiculous.

A reincarnated person? Impossible. And definitely not some kind of seductress!

She quickly rushed out, intending to find Lu Yuanzheng. But just as she stepped into the hotel hallway, she ran into Liu, the security officer, who had just returned from breakfast.

“Xiao Liu!”

Liu saw her. “Hello, Comrade He.”

He immediately stood at attention and saluted.

He Yunzhen looked pale, as if she had caught a chill. “Xiao Liu, what… what do you think of Comrade Xiao Song as a person?”

Liu paused, a bit embarrassed, and scratched his head. “Comrade Xiao Song is a very unique individual—she’s really quite special!”

Thinking of the things Xiao Song had said, he blushed.

He Yunzhen asked, “Has anything unusual happened with Comrade Xiao Song?”

Liu hesitated, thought for a while, then suddenly remembered. “Oh, yes! Like the situation at the Eight Wax Temple with Comrade Gu the other day. It seems like it was all a misunderstanding. I think Comrade Xiao Song only has eyes for the Regiment Commander—she wouldn’t be interested in any other man.”

Hearing that made He Yunzhen feel a little better inside.

Six months ago, she had looked into that Gu Chen—she had seen his photo and learned a bit about him. The more she learned, the more she felt her son had been wronged.

That man didn’t hold a candle to Yanchen in any way, yet Song Si had given the betrothal gifts from the Lu family to him! She had shamelessly clung to him, without a single thought for Yanchen, her own husband!

Liu noticed her expression and said gently, “Regiment Commander Lu and Comrade Xiao Song are very loving. She’s going to accompany him in the army soon. You can rest assured, Comrade He.”

Loving?

Joining the army?

He Yunzhen didn’t know how to react.

Before, she would have been overjoyed!

But now…

Liu asked with concern, “Comrade He, are you feeling unwell? You look really pale.”

He Yunzhen said, “A little bit. Thank you, Xiao Liu. I’m going to buy some medicine.”

Liu replied, “Alright, Comrade He. Take care!”

As soon as he spoke, two familiar voices came from the nearby room—

“Still think I’m not good enough now?”

“No! Not anymore!”

“Sisi, am I good or not?”

“You’re good—you’re amazing!”

The voices weren’t loud, but they were distinct enough at that distance. And since they were standing right at the door, they heard everything clearly.

Liu froze.

Were Regiment Commander Lu and Comrade Xiao Song… arguing? Their voices sounded kind of intense?

He had just told Comrade He they were loving—now this? Talk about a slap in the face. A tornado-sized one.

He looked at He Yunzhen awkwardly, not knowing what to say to smooth things over.

He Yunzhen felt completely overwhelmed. “Xiao Liu, you go on ahead.”

“Yes, Comrade He.”

Liu took off quickly.

He Yunzhen glanced in the direction of Lu Yanchen and Song Si’s room.

Yanchen being so obsessed with carnal matters—it was absolutely abnormal!

She was still in a daze when she heard footsteps—were they heading toward the door?

They hadn’t even eaten breakfast and went straight back to the hotel for that?

He Yunzhen reacted quickly, rushing toward the stairwell and getting out of the hotel before they could see her.

A few minutes later, Lu Yanchen also left the hotel and went out to buy breakfast.

When he returned half an hour later, Song Si was still lazily lying in bed, her watery eyes glaring at him resentfully.

Lu Yanchen said, “I bought buns, soy milk, fried dough sticks, and spicy soup.”

Song Si grumbled, “I can’t move. Carry me over.”

Lu Yanchen patiently walked over and carried her bridal-style to a nearby chair.

Song Si glared at him. “Are you a wolf or something?”

Lu Yanchen sat on the other side. “Maybe.”

Song Si, speechless: “…”

My whole body aches, like I’ve been torn apart. But strangely, there doesn’t hurt? I even climaxed a few times while clinging to him!

Lu Yanchen, you beast!

Lu Yanchen, overhearing her thoughts, clenched his jaw and asked, “Not hungry?”

Song Si glanced at the food, picked up a bun, and began eating furiously—two bites per bun, gobbling up six or seven in no time.

She’d burned a lot of calories and needed to replenish her strength!

Plus, she was venting her frustration by biting into the buns like they were Lu Yanchen.

His voice remained hoarse. “You can nap here at the hotel later. I’ll go to the hospital and stay with Grandma.”

Song Si replied, “Mm.”

For once, she answered sweetly and obediently.

Lu Yanchen’s parents had seen them. How could she possibly face them at the hospital now?

But then…

She looked at Lu Yanchen.

This man really has a thick skin. Doesn’t he feel any shame?

As long as he doesn’t feel embarrassed, it’s everyone else who ends up embarrassed!

Lu Yanchen quietly ate his breakfast.

Song Si had just picked up the soy milk, but then paused, suddenly setting it back down. “You drink it. I’ll have the spicy soup.”

Lu Yanchen raised his eyes and looked at her.

She quietly took the spicy soup.

Why does soy milk look so much like a guy’s… that thing? I’m not drinking it!

Lu Yanchen was silent.

And so, when breakfast was over, the soy milk was the only thing left untouched.

Song Si looked at him. “You don’t like soy milk?”

Lu Yanchen replied, “No.”

He picked it up and poured it out in the bathroom.

Song Si stared. “???”

She muttered, “Such a waste!”

Lu Yanchen looked back at her. “You could’ve had it if you’d said so earlier.”

Forget it!

Her inner voice rang loud and clear.

Lu Yanchen’s gaze darkened. “I’m heading to the hospital now.”

Song Si said, “Mm, go ahead.”

Rejoice! Celebrate the departure of Lu Yanchen!

His eyes swept over her, lingering on her swollen lips from his kisses.

If not for Grandma being in the hospital, needing someone by her side, he really wouldn’t leave at all.
