On the other hand, Tang Thirty-Six, who was downstairs, first saw Shu on the second floor. Feeling rather embarrassed, she quickly let go of Ling Qiao and hastily took a few steps back. Unexpectedly, a foot kicked the sofa behind her. She stumbled and fell to the ground.

Seeing that, Ling Qiao hurriedly went forward to help her up. With a pained heart, he asked: "What's wrong? "What are you so flustered for? If your feet aren't good, then walk slowly."

Tang Yuanqing hurriedly pushed away Ling Qiao's hand, and smiled as she said to Shu Shu upstairs, "You're awake. Ling Qiao said you didn't sleep last night, so he wanted you to sleep a little longer."

For a moment, Shu Shu didn't know what to say. The situation was, was Tang QIngqing afraid that she might misunderstand something and explain herself? Tang Beiqing didn't want her to misunderstand, right?

Ling Qiao was also shocked. He abruptly looked back and saw Shu Shu's astonished expression. He stood there blankly, not wanting to support Tang Congqing nor go upstairs to explain himself.

At this moment, Hu Xin, who was in the kitchen, asked, "Ling Qiao, is your family's salt gone?"

Tang Congqing walked towards the kitchen. "Auntie, let me help you. If there's no salt in the seasoning box, there should be some in the second shelf."

How familiar she was with this place!

Standing like this wasn't really an option. Since a guest had arrived at her house, she should have come down to greet him. She smiled and walked down the stairs, "Ling Qiao, is it your mother? Why didn't you wake me up? "

When Hu Xin heard Shu Shu's voice, there was also Tang Siqing in the kitchen. She walked out and scolded, "Shu Shu, Ling Qiao usually doesn't even sneeze, but now he's having a fever. You're telling him to get up and open the door, how are you taking care of him?"

Without waiting for Shu Shu's reply, Ling Qiao said, "Mom, I can blame her for my fever. You're too strict with me. I welcome you here, so don't come over blaming my wife."

"You …" Ai, the second eldest son does not follow the mother, marry a wife to think of a wife, Hu Xin angrily turned back to the kitchen.

Ling Qiao looked at Shu Shu, but now was not the time to explain. The part where she and Tang Siqing were together could be easily found online, and Shu Shu definitely knew this in her heart. It would be strange if she did not feel sad to see him hugging her former lover.

Shu Shu was not good at camouflage. After smiling, she was unable to laugh. The pain in her heart was clearly shown on her face. "I shouldn't have gotten up."

Ling Qiao strode forward and grabbed onto Shu's hand as he spoke, "Wife, don't let your thoughts run wild. There's nothing wrong."

She did not have the courage to argue with him, if it was according to her previous personality, she would definitely give him an order not to let him get close to her previous girlfriend, but now she could not say it out loud. What was she, she could not even protect herself, what qualifications did she have to ask for Ling Qiao?

Ling Qiao told her not to think too much. He said that there was nothing wrong with it. Perhaps this was what men were used to saying. Who would admit to cheating in front of their own wives?

She wanted to laugh, wanted to say it was okay, but she couldn't. "I'm so sleepy, I want to go up and sleep. Explain to mom, I'm really so sleepy." She kept her head down, not daring to look him in the eye.

Ling Qiao did not stop them. The scene before them caused everyone to feel awkward, "Alright, you go up first. I'll be up in a bit." She definitely wouldn't be able to sleep. It was possible that she would cry while hiding in the blanket.

In the kitchen, the porridge in the pot had already been boiled. Ling Qiao's throat was a little inflamed as he drank the tasteless plain porridge. He put in a little salt and skillfully scooped the porridge clockwise with the spoon.

In the three years in the United States, she had been sick of eating Western food and could only cook at home. She had never been to the kitchen before, but now she cooked a good dish.

Hu Xin looked at her and was extremely gratified. Only then did she have the appearance of a wife, "Let me do it, I'm afraid my hand will be scalded."

"I'm fine with it. I'm not used to eating meat every meal in the United States, so I'll learn to cook for myself. Auntie, how about I find a chance to show you my hand?" "Taste my handiwork."

"Alright, let's not talk about you anymore. Ling Qiao can cook now as well and live by himself. Everything is good for his."

"Really? He can cook too?" Tang Congee looked outside at Ling Qiao. "Then one of these days, let's have a competition to see who makes delicious dishes."

Ling Qiao smiled embarrassedly, "Forget it, I will only do simple things and not compete with you."

After drinking some congee, Ling Qiao became much more spirited. Only after taking the medicine prescribed by Doctor Lin did Hu Xin and Tang Diqing leave in peace.

Ling Qiao carried a bowl of porridge upstairs and pushed open the door to the room. There, he saw a figure bent over the bed. Hearing the door open, she immediately pulled up the blanket and covered her head.

"Wife, if you can't sleep, get up and eat porridge. Eat before you sleep!"

There was no movement from under the covers.

Girl, do you think I don't know if you're asleep or not?! Ling Qiao put down the bowl and pulled at the blanket forcefully, only to see Shu Shu curling up with her head full of messy hair. She did not take off her jacket, and her jeans had not been taken off as well. His heart immediately ached. His wife was jealous, which meant that she cared about him. He pulled Shu Shu along. "Wife, there's nothing going on between Tang and me. That was just an ordinary hug from an old friend we haven't seen for years."

"Is that so?" ShuShu stared at him and asked, "You don't feel anything for her?"

Ling Qiao honestly replied, "Even if there is, if you ask me this question, the person who will admit it will be a fool!"

Shu Shu picked up the blanket and was about to lie down again. That meant she still had a feeling, and that was how she felt when she looked.

"Hey, get up!" Ling Qiao simply lifted the blanket far away, using both hands to hold her face that was full of hair. He slowly pushed away his messy and wet hair, revealing her red and swollen eyes.

Shu Shu's hands were on his wrists. She used all her strength to just let him hold her. His strength was so strong. She simply closed her eyes and didn't look at him. Her wet eyelashes seemed to curl up even more.

Ling Qiao solemnly said, "Tang is my first love. We've been together for seven years, and she went to the United States in order to ascend the Lincoln Center stage. Back then, she was the one who abandoned me.

Shu Shu opened her eyes. "The reason you're looking for Osha is because she's very similar to Tang Shuqing, right?"

Ling Qiao did not deny that Osha did indeed look like Tang and Qing, especially when he smiled. He nodded, "Yes, so I'm not in love with Osha. Now that she's back, suddenly, I don't know where to put her, a lover, an ordinary friend, a stranger. It doesn't seem right. But I have to make one thing clear, I know I'm married, I can tell what to do and what not to do. Wife, I'm actually very happy that you're jealous. You used to hate me so much, but being jealous means that you care about me, right? "

"Who cares about you? "Shameless!"

I like you, I like our home. In the past, that was a thing of the past, she was the one who threw me away, and now I have no obligation to accept her. "

Shu Shu's heart felt warm listening to him. Couples should be honest with each other. She was already prepared to tell him her secret, so she trusted him.

"Then would you marry Grandmother if it weren't for me, if she hadn't forced you to marry her?"

"Silly girl, how can there be so many ifs? I won't answer hypothetical questions." If not for Shu Shu, when he thought about it, she would also be together with her. She had come back, and her feelings for him hadn't changed.

"Won't you answer?"

"Not good, quickly finish the congee." Ling Qiao picked up the bowl and changed the topic.

After drinking the porridge, he hugged her and slept. The cold medicine had some calming effects, so he wanted to sleep as well.

Taking in a deep breath, he could still smell the fragrance of jasmine flowers under his nose. It was so familiar, so fragrant, that he could not calm down for a long time.

In the winter, the weather was getting colder and colder. Saturday morning, the sky was painted gray, and it was probably going to snow soon.

It was already the end of the year. Ling Qiao was so busy that he didn't even have time to rest during the weekend. This was also good, as she could go home and visit his mother.

Shu Ning became thinner and thinner, so much so that it could be described as skin and bones. It was cold outside, but she did not go out. The air-conditioning in the house was newly installed, but she was reluctant to turn it on.

She called the shopping mall and bought some electric blankets, radiators and other heating appliances. "Mom, it's only for the winter. If you don't use them, I might as well not go to work. I just want to spend some money for you."

"Alright, alright, alright. Mother, just use it to comfort me. You're skinnier now."

"Mom, don't talk about me. You're so skinny yourself."

After paying his mother back for a day, and eating her mother's personally made bamboo shoot dried duck cooker, he felt extremely satisfied. He thought that if Ling Qiao had tasted such a delicious taste, he would definitely have liked it.

"ShuShu, it's cold. It's even colder when it's late. If you don't want to sleep at home, then go to the dorm earlier."

This way, Ling Qiao wouldn't be able to find out that she wasn't home anymore.

Sometimes, going home to see her mother was like being a thief, she had to try her luck, but there was nothing she could do.

It was still very windy in the subway station. Shu Shu pulled up her clothes and picked her up. Looking at the time, it was only 5: 30 PM. Ling Qiao had still not gotten off work, so he said she would be working until 9 PM.

I wonder if he has eaten dinner yet. Why don't we go and see him? With her interest piqued, she took the subway to Ling Bai Group.

This was the most bustling part of the city. The building of the Ling Bai Group was at the center, and it was very imposing.

"Mom, I want to eat KFC!" They passed a mother and son, and the son pulled the mother inside the KFC.

"Alright, let's buy a family bucket. Dad can have some when he comes back later."

As she watched, she felt warmth in her heart. Bring a bit of it to Ling Qiao as well, as he also loved to eat chicken wings.

After buying the chicken wings, Ye Zichen wanted to happily surprise him, but he was stopped by the guard at the door, "Sorry miss, after the shift time is over, people other than employees are not allowed to enter the company."

Shu Shu could only smile as she left the room. Looking at the dishes in her hands, they were no longer as hot as before. Thus, she sent a text message to Ling Qiao.

"Hubby, are you still busy?"

Ling Qiao immediately replied, "I'm not busy, I'm just waiting for a very important call." It was not good to do business with foreigners. Sometimes there was a problem, which could have been left to someone else, but this was a classmate of his back when he was studying abroad. He wanted to pick up the phone himself, and also wanted to chat with his classmates.

"Did you eat?"

"I had a bite. It's not good. It was ordered by the new secretary. It's not to my taste."

Just listen to this, such a picky person. If the dishes don't suit his taste, then he won't eat. "There's cilantro?" Shu asked again.

"Yes."

Haha, that's right, her husband couldn't stand the smell of the cilantro the most, so he didn't feel well even when he was asked. No wonder he couldn't eat anymore.
