My Taoist nun girlfriend is from the Republic of China era, 1942.

Chapter 121 Jealousy (Part 2)

"We were from the same neighborhood when we were kids, and we haven't seen each other for over ten years. I almost didn't recognize him."

"Um……"

"She just likes to joke around, don't take it to heart."

"I didn't take it to heart at all."

"She's very outgoing and friendly with everyone."

"I know."

After rambling on and on about explaining things the whole way, the two returned home and went to wash up.

After taking a shower and changing into her pajamas, Chen Xiaomiao silently crawled into bed, lay down with her back to him, and wrapped herself up like a silkworm.

When Lu Yuan finished showering and wanted to go over, "Silkworm" immediately moved to the side of the bed, as if avoiding some plague.

Lu Yuan reached out from behind and gently patted her shoulder.

"Don't be jealous. It's not worth it for someone who's not even a close friend."

"I'm not jealous!"

Chen Xiaomiao reiterated this point.

After a long while, she turned around again and asked in a muffled voice, "Lu Yuan, what is a murder mystery shop?"

Lu Yuan explained simply: "It's like a group of people getting together, each person getting a script, and each playing a role in it."

"Oh..." Chen Xiaomiao drawled, then asked, "So, will you go play?"

This is the real topic.

Lu Yuan laughed and said, "Don't worry, I don't have the time or interest for that."

Seeing the girl's still indignant face, he simply made his point clear.

"I ran into Ding Tong today. She's obviously a social butterfly, trying every possible way to get business for her shop."

"Trying to get business?"

"A woman like her is somewhat attractive and has an outgoing personality, able to get along with anyone. It's easy for men to have the illusion that 'I have a chance with her,' and thus willingly go to her shop to spend money to support her."

Chen Xiaomiao was stunned.

"Then...then what about you?" She was still worried: "Won't you go to her shop too?"

"What are you thinking?"

Lu Yuan was both amused and exasperated. He raised his hand and lightly flicked her forehead: "Go to sleep now."

As the lights dimmed and the bedroom returned to silence, the nameless anger in Chen Xiaomiao's heart gradually dissipated.

She knew that Lu Yuan would never pay attention to that kind of woman.

But just thinking about Ding Tong's way of getting close to Lu Yuan, blinking her eyes and acting coquettishly, made him feel uncomfortable.

The woman acted as if she didn't even see herself, blatantly pressing herself against him without the slightest bit of girlish modesty.

This is infuriating!

The next day, Chen Xiaomiao drove out to prepare for shopping.

Just as I arrived at the entrance of the residential area, there was a sudden knocking on the car window.

Turning my head, I saw Qi Lili with a big pregnant belly.

"sister in law!"

Chen Xiaomiao quickly unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car: "Why did you come here by yourself? You could have called me if you needed anything!"

Qi Lili waved her hand and slowly moved into the back seat.

"Xiao Miao, could you do me a favor and take me somewhere?"

Where are you going?

Qi Lili gave the name of a Western restaurant.

Chen Xiaomiao had some doubts, but she still asked, "What are you going there for? What do you want to eat? I'll buy it for you and bring it over."

"You'll know when you go there."

Qi Lili leaned back in the back seat, closed her eyes, and looked like she didn't want to say anything more.

Chen Xiaomiao didn't ask any more questions. She started the car, followed the navigation to the vicinity of the Western restaurant, and parked the car in an inconspicuous spot.

"Sister-in-law, shall we go in?"

Qi Lili shook her head, her eyes fixed on the restaurant entrance.

"hold on."

The atmosphere inside the car was frighteningly oppressive.

Looking at Qi Lili's tense profile in the rearview mirror, Chen Xiaomiao felt uneasy, sensing that something was about to happen.

Not long after, the glass door of the restaurant was pushed open.

Zhao Qiang's tall figure appeared at the doorway. He turned sideways and carefully helped a drunken woman.

The woman was practically clinging to Zhao Qiang, staggering and muttering something unintelligible.

Chen Xiaomiao stared intently, and was instantly dumbfounded.

That woman was Ding Tong!
"Sister-in-law, this...this must be a misunderstanding!" Chen Xiaomiao quickly turned around and explained, "Brother Zhao Qiang isn't that kind of person. I'll go down and ask him for you!"

"No need." Qi Lili grabbed her arm, her smile flat. "Xiao Miao, you take me back to the hospital."

"But……"

"I'm so sorry to trouble you again."

Chen Xiaomiao stopped talking and silently turned the car around.

They traveled in silence. After taking Qi Lili back to the hospital and settling her in, Chen Xiaomiao rushed home anxiously.

As soon as she entered the door, she recounted the events of the day to Lu Yuan in detail, ending with an angry rant.

"That Ding Tong is a real scoundrel! Look at her, she's already seduced a married man! And when his wife is about to give birth, she's utterly shameless!"

Lu Yuan frowned upon hearing this and said in a deep voice, "No way, Zhao Qiang is definitely not that kind of person."

Lu Yuan knew his childhood friend well enough to know he wouldn't do something so outrageous.

"I saw it with my own eyes!"

Chen Xiaomiao said urgently, "After the two came out of the Western restaurant, that woman clung to Zhao Qiang like she had no bones!"

Lu Yuan didn't say anything more, picked up his phone and dialed Zhao Qiang's number directly.

As soon as the call connected, he immediately demanded, "Zhao Qiang, have you lost your mind? Your wife is about to give birth and you're doing this?"

Zhao Qiang on the other end of the phone was clearly confused: "What's wrong?"

"Xiao Miao and my sister-in-law just saw you and that Ding Tong arguing and pulling at each other in front of the Western restaurant!"

"WTF! I'm innocent!"

Zhao Qiang quickly protested his innocence: "I really didn't do anything!"

It was Ding Tong who called me, saying she got drunk at a dinner party and couldn't walk, so she asked me to pick her up.

I thought, we grew up in the same compound, I couldn't just stand by and watch someone die, could I?

Lu Yuan was speechless for a moment.

Given Zhao Qiang's loyal and honest nature, he really is capable of doing something like this.

He also believed in Zhao Qiang, but that wasn't the problem.

"Call your sister-in-law right now!"

"Don't worry, Lily and I have been together for seven or eight years!" Zhao Qiang said confidently on the other end of the phone. "She knows me better than you do, she definitely knows I wouldn't do something so stupid."

"She knows you won't do anything stupid." Lu Yuan rubbed his temples. "But she herself is very likely to do something stupid!"

After hanging up the phone, Lu Yuan dialed Lü Xin's number again and asked him to send someone to guard the entrance of Ding Tong's store.

Sure enough, a few minutes later, Lü Xin replied, saying that a group of thugs wanted to smash up the shop, but his men stopped them.

Because Lu Yuan had the entire conversation on speakerphone, Chen Xiaomiao heard everything clearly and began to sigh with emotion.

Lu Yuan glanced at her and said, "It has nothing to do with you, why are you making such a fuss?"

"I just think that when a woman gets jealous, it's really unacceptable."

Chen Xiaomiao patted her chest with lingering fear, "Yesterday I was jealous, but I just threw a little tantrum at you and that was it."

Look at your sister-in-law! She gets jealous and immediately hires someone to smash up the shop! She clearly knows in her heart that Zhao Qiang wouldn't do such a thing.

If I hadn't been so quick-witted today and sent someone to stop them beforehand, something really serious might have happened..."

"The main problem is that Ding Tong is too annoying. In today's terms, she's like a 'troublemaker'."

Lu Yuan leaned back on the sofa and pondered, "I need to find a way to teach her a lesson."

Chen Xiaomiao suddenly made up her mind and solemnly announced: "Lu Yuan, I will never be jealous again!"

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "You admit you were jealous last night?"

Chen Xiaomiao smiled shyly, then held up three fingers.

"I promise I will be a reasonable and good woman from now on, and I will never throw a tantrum or act spoiled over such a small thing again!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yuan's phone started vibrating again, displaying an unknown number as the caller ID.

I pressed the speakerphone button, and Ding Tong's affected tone came from the other end of the line.

"Hello... is this Lu Yuan?"

"Oh, thank you so much!"

"I heard you got someone to help me... I... I don't know how to thank you enough..."

"How about... when are you free, we can have a meal together? I... I want to thank you properly in person..."

Before Ding Tong could finish speaking, Lu Yuan hung up the phone expressionlessly and added the number to his blacklist.

How did Lü Xin reveal my true identity to her?

Lu Yuan was puzzled when he turned back to look at Chen Xiaomiao.

The girl clenched her back teeth, her cheeks puffing out and then tightening, as if she were fighting against some inner demon.

After a long while, he finally let out a long sigh of relief.

"I...am...not...jealous!"
