She knew that every time Sun Yangxin thought of Yan Mian, he would get drunk. In the past, she was not willing to use those methods on him at all.
But now, her age had passed, and she did not have time to wait forever.
Moreover, he could not turn back even after 20 years. What else did she have to count on? A living person could not compare to a painting of that dead person. There was no need for her to deceive herself.
She wanted to have a child, and she had to give birth to this child herself.
Since she couldn’t wait, she wouldn’t wait.
Sun Yangxin was completely drunk. The entire study reeked of alcohol.
Zhou Wenjing came in with the soup and saw Sun Yangxin sitting on the ground without any care for his image.
She walked over with the bowl of soup and held Sun Yangxin’s head. She said gently, “Master, this is to relieve the hangover. Drink it quickly.”
Sun Yangxin drank cooperatively. When Zhou Wenjing saw how cooperative he was, a hint of self-deprecation appeared in her eyes. He clearly never looked at her, but he was completely unguarded against her.
Did he trust himself too much or her too much?
Forget it. After tonight, they would become enemies. What was the point of thinking so much?
Zhou Wenjing got up and closed the study door.
When the drug took effect, Sun Yangxin gradually felt that something was wrong. He was indeed not drunk anymore, but…
“Wenjing, what did you do?”
Sun Yangxin asked weakly.
Zhou Wenjing walked elegantly to Sun Yangxin’s side and slowly took off her clothes. She slowly said, “Master, I want to give birth to a child.”
Sun Yangxin’s expression changed as he gritted his teeth. “Zhou Wenjing, how dare you—”
“Why wouldn’t I dare? I’ve waited for you for 20 years. It’s enough. What about you? You can’t even look back at me because of a dead person. You and I can’t be a couple. Then, I’ll tear this fig leaf today. You clearly don’t even remember what Yan Mian looks like. You two clearly aren’t married and have nothing. It’s just a moment of palpitation. You just can’t forget her.”
“Then what I’m going to do today will be even more unforgettable for you. I hope you’ll remember me for the rest of your life.”
Zhou Wenjing squatted down and undid Sun Yangxin’s belt.
This was the second time in her life that she had done such a shocking thing. She had used all means to possess this man, and the first time, she had used all means to marry him.
There was no pleasure, only pain.
She shed tears and said in a hoarse voice, “I’ve waited for you for twenty years and loved you for twenty years. Your heart is really cold. Since I can’t warm it up, I won’t warm it up anymore. Since you can marry me because of your mother, why can’t you give me a child now?”
“You’re crazy…”
Sun Yangxin gritted his teeth and spat out these words.
Zhou Wenjing smiled. “That’s right. I’m crazy.”
When dawn broke, Zhou Wenjing got out of bed with trembling hands. She put on her clothes, opened Sun Yangxin’s mouth, and stuffed a pill into it before forcing him to swallow it.
“In the next two months, you can recuperate because of your illness. After I’m pregnant, we’ll have nothing to do with each other.”
Zhou Wenjing’s gentle expression changed as her cold eyes revealed ruthlessness.
Sun Yangxin opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he fell silent.
Zhou Wenjing flipped through the cabinet as Sun Yangxin became agitated.
Zhou Wenjing took the only painting and said coldly, “Since I’ve taken this step, I’ve never thought of having a good ending with you. In any case, we’ve already made an opening. There’s no difference between once and thirty times. I’ll return it to you if I get pregnant. If I can’t get pregnant, you can forget about seeing this painting for the rest of your life.”
With that said, Zhou Wenjing turned around and prepared to leave.
“Zhou Wenjing, I’ve really misjudged you in the past twenty years.”
Behind her, she heard Sun Yangxin gritting his teeth.
Zhou Wenjing paused and said coldly, “You’ve indeed misjudged me.”
With that, she left.
Sun Yangxin watched as she left decisively. For a moment, his emotions were mixed.
Zhou Wenjing returned to her room to wash up before leaving.
She didn’t bring any maidservants or servants with her. She just walked alone on the streets. She didn’t know what she was thinking.
Perhaps she just wanted to test her luck.
In the past 20 years, Sun Yangxin rarely lost control. She wanted to try her luck and see how similar that woman was to Yan Mian.
That was why Sun Yangxin was acting so abnormally.
Zhou Wenjing went out for a few days in a row. On the ninth day of February, she saw a woman. She looked similar to the portrait.
Beside the woman was a man. The two of them seemed to be shopping.
If Yan Mian was still in this world, her daughter would be this old.
Zhou Wenjing walked over and walked to Su Xiaoling’s side to choose fish.
She said gently, “Miss, are you buying fish too?”
Su Xiaoling glanced at Zhou Wenjing and nodded. “Yes, Auntie. Are you buying it too?”
Zhou Wenjing nodded and said, “Miss, are there many people at home? You’re buying such a huge fish? It’s not easy to keep this fish fresh for long.”
Su Xiaoling smiled and said, “It’s fine. I have many family members. We can finish them all.”
Zhou Wenjing looked kind and spoke gently. She was dressed simply, but her smile was very amiable.
Su Xiaoling was vigilant, but Zhou Wenjing didn’t keep asking. Instead, she chose a fish. After weighing it, she carried it and smiled gently at Su Xiaoling. “Miss, I’ve bought mine. I’ll leave first.”
Zhou Wenjing left after buying it. She even went elsewhere to buy some vegetables and strolled around the market. She chatted with everyone.
“Brother Heng, let’s go too.”
Su Xiaoling was relieved. Ever since she was followed a few days ago, she had been much more careful.
She did not tell her family that she had been followed and mistaken for someone else, but in private, she was more careful.
After buying the ingredients, she went home with Zhou Heng.
Zhou Heng was carrying a basket on his back and holding a fish in his hand. Because he was handsome, passers-by would take a few more glances. Because Su Xiaoling was following him, passers-by would be envious.
The young woman would pinch the man beside her and say, “Look at the couple.”
Su Xiaoling blushed when she heard these words.
She whispered, “Brother Heng, actually, you don’t have to come with me to buy groceries.”
Zhou Heng smiled and said, “It’s fine. I happen to be free.”
He liked to be alone with Su Xiaoling. He carried a basket on his back and watched her buy groceries from various stalls. Therefore, when he had the chance these few days, he would come out with her.
When the two of them returned home, Su Xiaoling stopped Zhou Heng from helping.
Zhou Heng smiled and returned to his room.
Su Xiaoling also realized that Su Chong and Su Hua were not at home today. Her face quickly heated up and she understood that Zhou Heng had specially taken the time to accompany her to buy groceries today.
An indescribable feeling spread in her heart.
She began to pack up the dishes and slowly cook.
When the meal was almost ready, Su Xiaolu and the others came home. For the past few days, Su Sanlang, Madam Zhao, and Su Xiaolu had been following He Hai to inspect.
After a few days, Su Sanlang had an idea. He was prepared to discuss it with the children after dinner.
After dinner, Su Sanlang said, “Your mother and I have also inspected Jinghong Restaurant over the past few days and came to some conclusions to discuss with you.”
