Chapter 256 - Secrets of the Branch

Su Jinyi's heart made a "thump" sound. She didn't even dare to listen to He Ruiting's response as she quietly closed the window.

Because he accidentally overheard Sheng Lin's words, Su Jinyi could not help but feel extremely upset.

After a while, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

It was He Ruiting.

"Ready to rest?" he asked.

"Yes, immediately take a shower and go to sleep. What's the matter?"

"Tonight, Sheng Lin is going to stay at home. Let me tell you something."

Su Jinyi was startled for two seconds, then replied: "This is your home, you don't need my permission to make the decision."

"Alright, then let her sleep in Yi Yi's room first."

"Yes."

He Ruiting saw that Su Jinyi did not speak anymore, and turned to walk out, but when he reached the door, he turned back and asked: "So, are you sure you won't stay in the same room as me tonight?"

Su Jinyi who was using a pencil to write accidentally broke the tip of the pen.

She raised her head and looked at He Ruiting's expression seriously.

"We've been sleeping separately. If it's just because she's here, I want to ask, are you trying to trick her? Or was it to deceive me? Or is it — lying to yourself? "

was unable to answer after hearing these words.

"Okay, you rest early."

With that, he left the room.

Su Jinyi was infuriated for some unknown reason.

Who knew how long this Sheng Lin would stay in the country. After all, she had to stay in the He family for one more day for Sheng Lin to arrive.

Her original plan had been to leave by the end of the week.

Who knew that such an unexpected guest would come?

Especially when he recalled Sheng Lin's words of "more than one partner", Su Jinyi felt a splitting headache.

In the middle of the night, Su Jinyi woke up from her panicked state.

She had a nightmare.

In the dream is a pure white wedding scene, blue sky, green meadow, white pigeons flocks, bride and groom, male and female, very right.

However, when the rookies stepped up, she was able to clearly see their faces.

It was none other than He Ruiting and Sheng Lin.

Su Jinyi suddenly woke up from her dream.

After sitting on the bed for a while, she was completely devoid of sleep. Suddenly, she heard a sound coming from outside the door.

There were four rooms on the second floor.

He Ruiting's room was at the innermost room, and Su Jinyi's room was right next to his. Outside the room were the guest rooms, which was also the room that He Yiyi had stayed in before.

She heard someone coming in from the outside.

Then there was a faint knock on the door, and then the door opened and closed.

Su Jinyi was startled for a moment, then suddenly got off the bed, opened the door and walked out.

She looked in the direction of He Ruiting's room, holding her breath, she listened carefully. Finally, she heard the sounds coming from the room.

"That bed is too hard," Sheng Lin complained, "Lend me half of the bed."

"Eh? "You …"

"What is it? We slept in the same bed together when we were kids! "

"As you said, she was a child."

"Why are you so nervous? What? Do you have feelings for me? "

"Don't make such a joke."

"I don't feel anything? "There's no need to worry then …"

Su Jinyi could not bear to listen any longer, she turned and returned to her own room.

At this time, He Ruiting was standing in his room with a helpless expression.

Sheng Lin did not hold back, she had already laid on the bed and covered herself with the blanket, with no intention of leaving.

He Ruiting opened his mouth and asked: "Are you sure you want to sleep here?"

"Why are you so unhappy? Can't I warm your bed? Do you really not know how you've been through all these years? I can't believe I kept sleeping in the same room as my wife. "

He Ruiting sighed and walked out.

"Eh?" Sheng Lin heard the sound of footsteps and face was filled with disbelief. "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to the guest room."

Walking out of the room, he headed towards the exit, but when he passed by the door to Su Jinyi's room, he unknowingly stopped in his tracks.

He wanted to knock on the door and ask if she was asleep, but he thought she must be.

In the end, He Ruiting stood outside the door for a few minutes, then walked towards the guest room.

As for Su Jinyi, who was in the house, his eyes were wide open as he looked at the ceiling.

No sleep at all.

For the rest of the night, she could hardly sleep.

Sheng Lin's words were like demon notes, rolling around in her mind.

She didn't know if He Ruiting would end up sharing a bed with Sheng Lin, nor did she dare to think about it.

When she saw the news the day before, she had thought that even if they were together, it wouldn't matter. But now that things had reached her eyes, she realized that He Ruiting could still bring her harm!

An emotional injury!

"No, I have to leave him," Su Jinyi decided on the inside. "This way, I won't be injured anymore."

The next morning.

As he had already handed over her resignation letter, Su Jinyi did not go to the company.

She woke up early, and since she had nothing to do, helped Nanny Lin set up the tableware.

"Madame, why aren't you in a good mood?" The Nanny Lin asked with concern.

At this time, Su Jinyi's face had two big dark circles under her eyes.

"Nothing, maybe he didn't sleep well."

The two of them chatted as they prepared breakfast for everyone. Not long later, Sheng Lin came down with He Ruiting.

Sheng Lin was even holding onto He Ruiting's arm!

He Ruiting tried to dodge but he was still unable to. He was firmly grabbed by Sheng Lin.

Su Jinyi saw all of this clearly.

Nanny Lin was at a loss for words. She could not understand why her husband would appear so close to a woman that was not his wife so early in the morning.

However, Su Jinyi remained calm.

"Oh? Could it be that you personally prepared these for us? "

Sheng Lin directly said to Su Jinyi.

"It was done by the Nanny Lin," Su Jinyi replied, "I'm just an assistant."

"Helping?" Sheng Lin was surprised by Su Jinyi's modest words. "Rui Ting, is your wife helping the servants?"

She had an understanding look, as if in her eyes, women who wanted to do housework were worthless.

Su Jinyi didn't want to continue a meaningless conversation with her, so she sat down at the dining table and started eating her breakfast. She only picked up the spoon and looked at He Ruiting unconsciously.

He Ruiting was currently staring at her, as if he was waiting for her gaze.

Su Jinyi lowered her head.

But He Ruiting opened his mouth.

"Sheng Lin, my wife is very virtuous and empathetic, so she is willing to do these things that you might not care about. But I think, everyone is equal. Don't you always preach 'equality between men and women'? Now that both men and women are equal, it is more important for women to live in peace with each other. "

Sheng Lin's face looked a little awkward, but she could only lift her lips and smile: "Alright, we will not consider this problem for now."

But He Ruiting had not finished speaking.

"Last night you said that my values were acceptable. 'One person has a lot of partners', but that's not true."

After he finished speaking, he intentionally looked at Su Jinyi for a moment, then picked up the exquisite meal in front of her.

It was done by Su Jinyi.

"Yes, it's delicious." He Ruiting said with satisfaction.
