Chapter 603:Sister, What Exactly Are You Trying to Find? (8)

Hearing this, s.h.i.+ Jinyan narrowed his eyes. A few moments later, he replied, “I don’t think we need outsiders to interfere with what goes on between the two of us.”

Yao Teng tightened his fists. “s.h.i.+ Jinyan! If you treat her badly, do you know what you’re letting down?”

s.h.i.+ Jinyan was now radiating hostility. Just as Yao Teng was about to continue, Si Jingyu suddenly said, “Yao Teng!”

Yao Teng’s words were caught in his throat. After casting another deep gaze at Si Jingyu, he turned and left.

—

Zhuang Nainai had been standing at the doorway all this while. Seeing Yao Teng leave, and then looking at the two of them who were now alone in the room, she was about to tactfully leave when she heard Si Jingyu’s voice. “Nainai, come in and sit.”

Zhuang Nainai knew that Si Jingyu didn’t want to be alone with s.h.i.+ Jinyan. Pausing for a moment, she decided to side with Sister and walked into the room.

Si Jingyu looked at her tummy. “Four months?”

Zhuang Nainai nodded. She was exactly four months pregnant today, and her belly was showing.

After thinking for a moment, Si Jingyu smiled and asked, “Does the baby move about?”

Zhuang Nainai nodded once more. “When I put some music on, it’ll move. It seems as though it likes music in particular.”

“Kids are like that. Now that it’s beginning to develop, you should try to calmly feel the baby’s movements on a daily basis.”

Zhuang Nainai nodded.

Si Jingyu talked for a little more, but then she suddenly burst out coughing. s.h.i.+ Jinyan anxiously brought her water. She stared at the fair hand hovering in front of her, stunned for a few moments. Lifting her head to cast a glance at s.h.i.+ Jinyan, she received the water and took a sip.

s.h.i.+ Jinyan turned around and went to wet a towel in the bathroom. Bringing over the towel, which was now cool, he pa.s.sed it to Si Jingyu. “Put it over your eyes.”

His tone was inattentive, and even his expression was a little gray. Evidently, he was still angry.

But even though he was fuming, could he bring himself to express his anger toward Si Jingyu, who had just barely gotten her life back and was now so weak?

He couldn’t.

s.h.i.+ Jinyan suppressed the indignation in his heart and pushed the towel toward Si Jingyu once more. Seeing that Si Jingyu still wasn’t taking the towel, he decidedly put the towel onto her face. “Close your eyes.”

Zhuang Nainai was speechless.

Brother-in-law was truly more blunt and direct as compared to Si Zhengting!

But even though Brother-in-law was fierce, he still put the towel on Sister’s face rather gently, which meant that… Brother-in-law still cared for Sister.

But why couldn’t they just patch things up?

Sister was such a good person, so the problem couldn’t possibly lie with Si Jingyu. So, did that mean that the problem between the two of them was from Brother-in-law?

Just as Zhuang Nainai was considering all of this, s.h.i.+ Jinyan removed the towel from Si Jingyu’s face and returned it to the bathroom. Folding up his sleeves, he walked over to the fridge and put the fruits that he had brought over into it. With that, he took out another bag containing Si Jingyu’s favorite street food, fish roe.

Taking out the fish roe, he began seasoning it, then stuck toothpicks into the snack. Turning around, he walked back toward Si Jingyu.

Si Jingyu’s eyes reddened as she took all of this in.

Suddenly, she recalled how she had told him that she would always eat fish roe whenever she was unhappy.

He had remembered her preferences — he wasn’t as distant as she imagined him to be.

Si Jingyu felt tired, truly tired… Watching him as he walked over, she suddenly said, “I went to Hebei because…”
