Chapter 275 Patience Only Lasts One Minute
Hearing footsteps, Jiang Zhixun didn't turn his head.

Her tone was resentful, "Didn't you say you didn't want to see me? What are you doing here?"

Shen Qingqing felt ashamed.

This man is really dramatic!
She nestled on Jiang Zhixun's back, wrapped her arms around his neck, and said softly, as if coaxing a child, "I just want to be with you."

A smile flashed in Jiang Zhixun's eyes.

Holding tools in one hand, he reached behind her with the other to protect her, afraid that Shen Qingqing would fall.

He scoffed, "Liar."

"I did not lie to you."

"What you say is unfounded."

The man's face clearly said: I don't listen to sweet talk, I'm not that easy to fool!
She gave him a peck on the cheek. "Is that enough?"

"No."

Shen Qingqing then touched the other side as well, "Is that enough?"

"not enough."

This time, Shen Qingqing ignored him and tried to leave, but Jiang Zhixun grabbed her and wouldn't let her go.

"Shen Qingqing, do you only have one minute of patience?"

No, it's probably been less than a minute since I went upstairs!

Shen Qingqing nodded seriously.

"you caught me?"

Jiang Zhixun: “…”

He bit her lip in anger, "You're not allowed to say bad things about me anymore, and you have to praise me and coax me often."

Shen Qingqing rolled her eyes. "You're not a child, and I'm not just rambling on."

Jiang Zhixun: "If you say nice things about me, the child will be closer to me in the future. Otherwise, what if it dislikes me?"

There is some truth in this.

Shen Qingqing raised an eyebrow, "Why are you praising me and coaxing me?"

Jiang Zhixun laughed and said, "This is prenatal education. The child starts learning from the womb, and will definitely have a sweet tongue in the future. The situation you described will not occur."

Shen Qingqing knew exactly what this man was up to.
"Using prenatal education as an excuse, you're really something!"

The man said frankly, "When the child learns to behave, he can also make me happy. It's a win-win situation, isn't it?"

Shen Qingqing: "Why don't you comfort me? This is also a form of prenatal education. If I'm in a good mood, the baby will grow up healthy."

Her emotions might even influence the child's personality.

Jiang Zhixun naturally had to appease Shen Qingqing.

This is the wife he wrote on the marriage certificate!

He said, "Let's coax each other."

Shen Qingqing: "Childish!"

Feeling that she had appeased Jiang Zhixun, Shen Qingqing was about to go downstairs again.

"You better get to work."

Jiang Zhixun clicked his tongue, his tone displeased, "You only spent a few minutes with me?"

"I'm not afraid of interfering with your work."

"will not."

With his wife by his side, he had even more energy to work.

He asked Shen Qingqing to sit on the sofa and "talk to me."

"I'm going to call Shiyu."

Speaking of this, Shen Qingqing said with melancholy, "Everyone is going their separate ways and living their own lives. It's not easy to meet up with each other. I probably won't be able to go to the Northwest for the next few years."

I've made plans with Shiyu many times, but each time I'm too busy with one thing or another to get away.

Shen Qingqing: "I will never make promises lightly again."

Jiang Zhixun smiled and said, "Comrade Shi will understand you."

The Northwest is so far from Beijing; it takes several days to get there by train.

It's not easy to make a trip there.

What's more, Qingqing has a job, and now she's pregnant with another baby.

Traveling far from home is really difficult.

Even when children grow up, it's not as simple as just letting go of them.

He comforted Shen Qingqing, saying, "When Comrade Shi returns to Beijing, you can treat her to meals a few more times and keep in touch with her regularly. That will have the same effect."

Jiang Zhixun never interfered with Shen Qingqing's friendships.

She has many friends, people she can eat, drink, and have fun with, he's overjoyed.

He already spends very little time at home and can't be with her often, yet he expects his wife to only revolve around the house. That's too domineering.

As long as she's safe, she can do whatever she wants.

Even if he really went to the Northwest to find Comrade Shi, he wouldn't stop him.

As long as my wife is happy. Shen Qingqing kissed Jiang Zhixun's lips again and told him, "Work hard."

Then he left the bedroom without looking back.

Jiang Zhixun touched his lips, a clear smile on his face. "Walk slowly, and hold onto the handrail when you go down the stairs."

Shen Qingqing didn't reply to him.

He seemed to be too lazy to bother with him.

Jiang Zhixun followed her out, still worried, and watched as Shen Qingqing went downstairs.

When his vacation ends and he returns to training, he'll definitely miss his wife even more since he won't be able to see her.

Jiang Zhixun thought to himself that he really needed to do the job well and ensure safety so that he could feel more at ease when Jiang was not at home.

Jiang's mother went out to buy groceries.

The old man was watching TV in the living room when he heard that Shen Qingqing was going to make a phone call, so he turned the volume down a little.

Leaning on his cane, he said, "I'm going to the yard to water the plants."

Shen Qingqing knew that the old man wanted to give her and her friend some space to talk.

I was deeply moved.

"Please don't go yet. Let me finish this call and I'll go with you to water the plants and trim the bonsai."

His health wasn't as good as before this year, but the old man never admitted to being old.

Going out fishing is no problem, let alone staying at home.

He waved his hand and said, "This is my job. Don't try to take it from me. I feel uncomfortable if I don't move around all day."

Shen Qingqing knew that the old man was stubborn.

"Then please be careful. If you can't move something, ask Zhixun to do it."

"I know it well."

Shen Qingqing watched the old man go to the courtyard, and only after confirming that everything was alright did she dial the phone number to the Northwest.

Shiyu's family doesn't have a phone, so they can't contact anyone immediately.

Shen Qingqing watched TV for a while before receiving a call back.

“Even if you hadn’t called me today, I would have called you anyway,” Shi Yu said impatiently as soon as the call connected.

His tone was very excited.

Shen Qingqing thought something had happened.

"what happened?"

Shi Yu cleared her throat and asked in a low voice, "You should know about Lin Zhidong's sister, right?"

That year, Shen Qingqing went to the Northwest and met Lin Fengmian.

She had long forgotten what Lin Fengmian looked like, but she knew that such a person existed.

I heard that she used to like Jiang Zhixun, but later wanted to marry Chen Shaojie.

Shiyu had told her about this several times.

"What's up with her?"

The person on the other end of the phone lowered their voice, "She ran away with someone, abandoned her husband and children, and didn't even want her home anymore."

It took Shen Qingqing a few seconds to process the meaning of those words.

Everyone has curiosity.

Although this matter had nothing to do with Shen Qingqing, she still asked mysteriously, "What's going on?"

Shi Yu: "Lin Fengmian wanted to do business. He came back to ask his brother and sister-in-law for money, but he didn't get it. He made a fuss a few more times, which annoyed Zhou Xiaomei, who then said that she would sever ties with Lin Fengmian."

"Lin Fengmian hadn't shown up for a while, and I thought she was intimidated by Zhou Xiaomei's attitude. I didn't expect her to have such a big secret. She ran away a couple of days ago and disappeared without a trace."

"She left a letter saying that she would make a lot of money with a new man and come back in glory to slap them in the face."

“Zhou Xiaomei is also feeling bad. She thinks it's because she didn't lend money that Lin Fengmian went astray. We were just comforting her.”

Zhou Xiaomei is a good woman.

Shen Qingqing didn't contact her much, but she would occasionally talk to Shi Yu on the phone, and Zhou Xiaomei would also be there, and they would chat for a few minutes.

Being caught in this mess, Zhou Xiaomei, as the sister-in-law, is essentially being put on the hot seat.

No one can say she's wrong for not lending money.

But if she were to sever ties with Lin Fengmian... it would certainly be easy for people to gossip about her.

Rumors and gossip can be very damaging.

Shen Qingqing sympathizes with Zhou Xiaomei.

"What is Lin Zhidong's attitude? He shouldn't be blaming Comrade Zhou, right?"

“No blame. Everyone knows Lin Fengmian’s character. Whether Zhou Xiaomei lends money or not, it’s not the reason she abandoned her husband and children.”

Shi Yu wanted to say even more that she was glad she hadn't borrowed money.

Otherwise, you'll lose both your money and your reputation, and be swindled out of everything!
Shen Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief, "That's alright."

Otherwise, if such a huge burden were placed on Zhou Xiaomei's head, she would be incredibly upset.

Shi Yu: "Lin Zhidong has already reported it to the police, so they should be able to bring her back. But after this whole mess, her in-laws will definitely not want her anymore."
