Marriage is long and desires are strong

Qin Xiaoye's gaze lingered on Jiang Wei's full, red lips for a moment, his breath quickened, and he said in a deep voice, "Drive, go straight to the airport."

Xiang Dong glanced at the car brochures he had prepared for his wife to choose from: "Okay. Let's choose a car..."

Qin Xiaoye looked at the documents and said slowly in a deep voice, "She probably doesn't want me to see what just happened."

"Let's go."

Xiang Dong suddenly understood.

Mr. Qin didn't want to embarrass his wife.

No wonder President Qin said he was leaving yesterday, and he said he was leaving again today.

No one wants to be seen when they're pushed to the limit.

Although, well, Xiang Dong thought that the lady's fierce and menacing appearance was very beautiful, majestic and a little bit sickly cute.

President Qin's gaze remained fixed on his wife, as if he were deeply enamored with her.

Xiang Dong stepped on the gas and headed straight for the airport.

Qin Xiaoye's business trip will last for more than ten days.

Luo Xue watched in astonishment as the police car drove Shi Yuan away. Her eyes widened, and she exclaimed, "My God, are concerned citizens really this helpful these days? They can even list all the illegal things he's done since he was a child?"

Luo Xue looked up at the sky and clasped her hands together: "I need to make a wish to the kind citizens, asking them to visit our hospital more often and give us more care."

"It would be even better if kind-hearted citizens could donate some money."

Jiang Wei turned to Dr. Ding An beside her and said, "The black king snake needs a fecal test to check for parasites. It's malnourished and needs nutritional supplements."

She handed the snake to Ding An, who took it and said, "Okay."

Jiang Wei said to the black snake: "Good boy, Mao Mao, take good care of yourself when you get sick~"

Mao Mao stuck out its tongue and hissed.

Jiang Wei nodded and said softly, "It's good that you understand."

The young man asked in surprise, "You can understand Mao Mao?"

Jiang Wei looked at him strangely: "How could you possibly understand? As long as we can communicate, it doesn't matter if the communication is right or wrong. Don't worry about the details."

The young man exclaimed in shock, "Ah..."

Jiang Wei walked into the hospital, put on medical gloves, took an exquisite wooden pet coffin, went to the hospital entrance, and placed the black cat's bloodied and mangled body and eyes inside. Her expression was solemn and cold, filled with pity and sorrow.

The hospital's backyard has locust trees, pear trees, fringe trees, white magnolias, bauhinia, crabapple trees, purple-leaf plums, and cherry blossoms. The ground under the trees is often covered with white, pink, and purple flower petals.

Brightly colored sunflowers, zinnias, cosmos, morning glories... were planted around the trees.

Morning glories climbed all over the small shed that had been built.

There is also a small open space under the tree, which the pet hospital uses specifically for pet funerals.

Jiang Wei often says: Funerals are for the living, not for the dead.

Funerals are held because people can't let go and want to remember, so that their hearts have a place to rest.

Coffins, funerals, and tombstones are places where people keep their hearts.

Jiang Wei and Luo Xue dug a small pit under the locust tree and buried the black cat's pet coffin there, forming a mound of earth, which was then sprinkled with colorful flower petals.

Only then did Jiang Wei dare to cry.

She silently shed tears as she looked at the small mound of earth covered with flower petals, the tears falling in clusters, clinging to her eyelashes.

It was particularly dazzling in the sunlight.

The small flowers on the tree slowly and gently fell onto Jiang Wei's shoulders and hair, looking absolutely beautiful.

Luo Xue lowered her eyes, glanced at Jiang Wei, sighed softly, turned and went into the hospital, giving Jiang Wei time to cry.

The more rational Jiang Wei appeared, the more she suppressed her emotions. She seemed calm on the surface, but inside she was heartbroken. She could try hard not to show it, but who wouldn't want a place to contain their sadness?

The young man, who was watching from the side, walked over, clasped his hands together in front of the mound of earth, and whispered, "Little cat, I hope you are reborn as that grandson's father in your next life, so you can beat him to death every day."

Jiang Wei's fair face was streaked with tears. She turned her head to look at him, then turned away again, her tears dripping to the ground. She looked pitiful.

The young man said in a low voice, "You seemed so calm just now, I was almost idolizing you. Why are you crying so hard now?"

Jiang Wei said softly, "Because you can't let him see your vulnerability, otherwise they'll sting you like wasps. Like hungry wolves, they'll devour your flesh and blood bit by bit."

Young man: "You understand human nature very well."

Jiang Wei: "I understand animalistic instincts."

"Humans are sometimes more cruel and more beastly than wild animals."

She held a handful of flower petals in her hand and slowly scattered them onto the mound of earth, where the colorful petals dotted the surface.

"They'll only get excited when they see you cry. See, I did the right thing, didn't I?"

"I can only hide and cry."

The young man sighed softly, "If only we could live forever and never die."

Jiang Wei wiped away her tears, her face glowing white and translucent in the sunlight, enveloped in a halo: "Without death, people would not truly understand the meaning of life."

"In some situations, we should be grateful for the existence of death."

Jiang Wei turned and went back to the hospital clinic.

The young man followed him inside: "My name is Sheng Huaiyi."

Jiang Wei looked down at the form, then raised it: "Don't the parents' names have on it?"

Each pet has its owner's name on it, since the owner is the one who paid for it.

Sheng Huai scratched his head and laughed, "Oh."

Jiang Wei: "The test results are in. There are no parasites. Mao Mao just needs some medicine. The instructions are all written out. We just need to go pay the bill."

"Also, your diet is too monotonous; increase the variety of foods you feed them."

Sheng Huaiyi, holding the prescription, said, "Okay, thank you, Dr. Jiang."

"Doctor, do you think it's too cruel of me to feed my snakes to mice? Mice are living beings too."

Black king snakes eat thawed mouse strips.

Jiang Wei tilted her head slightly: "I also rescue birds at the hospital."

She stood up and pointed it out to Sheng Huaiyi: "This is a shrike that the police officers brought over when they rescued it."

A small, handsome gray-black bird was fluttering in its cage, its foot injured.

Sheng Huai also reached out to touch it through the cage: "It's so cute."

Jiang Wei stopped her, saying, "Be careful, it's a bird of prey."

Sheng Huai was also shocked: "That's it?"

Jiang Wei: "Don't underestimate it. It eats birds, and it has caught and eaten many domestic parrots. It will also dry the birds it can't finish eating and hang them on trees. It's very vicious."

Jiang Wei led Sheng Huaiyi to another cage: "Look, this is a little sun conure, isn't it cute?"

The little sun is chirping and playing with the bottle cap.

Sheng Huaiyi: "Does the shrike eat it?"

Jiang Wei nodded: "Mm."

Sheng Huaiyi: "How cruel."

Jiang Wei: "This is the food chain. Just like humans, humans need to eat pork, beef, and mutton. It's the law of nature."

"I can't just ignore the shrike because it preys on parrots. It has to live too, and if it lives, it has to hunt."

"All I can do is try my best to rescue the animals I get my hands on and alleviate their suffering. That's all."

Sheng Huai lowered his eyes and pondered, "I understand. If you want Mao Mao to live well, you have to follow the laws of nature."

He was still lingering, reluctant to leave, when a girl holding a ragdoll cat rushed in, looking anxious: "Doctor, please take a look at Milk Tea..."

Sheng Huai was also pushed out, sticking his head out to look at Jiang Wei, before the door was closed.

He rubbed his nose dejectedly, went to pay the fee, and left with Mao Mao in his arms.

……

That evening, Jiang Wei went to the nearby bushes again and took a trap.

The mother cat died, and the kitten, being too vulnerable to abuse, was saved.

She went to the bushes, set up the trap, and waited quietly.

The kitten didn't get to see it.

A burly man appeared, staring intently at Jiang Wei with a smile on his lips: "I know you."

Jiang Wei raised her head slightly, looked at him, and said nothing.

Man: "You're the one who sent Shi Yuan to the detention center?"

Jiang Wei squinted.

The man grinned menacingly: "It's quite a sight. You can take the place of the cat and be sliced ​​to death piece by piece by me, that's fine too."

"I'm not Shi Yuan, I'm not that easy to deal with."

"Your hospital is finished. Beg me, and maybe I'll let you go."

Jiang Wei snorted coldly, her eyes filled with disdain, treating him as if he were invisible. She took the capture cage and went elsewhere to look for kittens.

People who abuse cats are not only psychologically disturbed, but also enjoy bullying the weak and watching them cry, so don't let them label you as a victim.

Fortunately, she found the sickly kitten in a corner, and carefully took it back to the hospital for a check-up. Only then did she feel relieved, realizing it was just hungry.

She stroked the little black cat, saying, "Your mother is gone, but I'll be your mother. Don't be afraid~"

The big black cat only wanted to feed the kittens. Such a simple thing, yet it came at such a terrible price.

The little black cat clung to her with its paws, meowing softly, and fell asleep in her arms. Jiang Wei kissed it, and it slept even more peacefully.

Jiang Wei was busy with animal treatment at the hospital, and before she knew it, more than ten days had passed without her seeing Qin Xiaoye. Sometimes she even wondered if he even existed.

Just ten days ago, Qin Xiaoye's assistant, Xiang Dong, sent her a car selection guide and asked her to choose a car.

They are all high-end models costing over a million.

She politely declined, telling Xiang Dong that she didn't need the car for now.

The marriage between the Qin and Jiang families has resulted in the Qin family ceding significant profits to the Jiang family in business collaborations.

She shouldn't ask for too much from Qin Xiaoye.

Jiang Wei has been busy with work lately.

Luo Xue is getting busier and busier, and looks anxious. Several donations have been withdrawn, and promised later donations have been cancelled, causing operational difficulties.

The hospital's closure is imminent.

Jiang Wei saw it all.

After her fake heiress identity was exposed, she not only faced difficulties at home, but also encountered problems at the pet hospital where she had hoped to do more charity work.

She had already transferred all her savings to the pet hospital's account under the guise of donations.

Qin Xiaoye would give her a sum of money every month, but according to the Jiang family's requirements, that money had to be returned to the Jiang family to compensate for the cost of raising her, since the Jiang family had provided for her food, clothing, and daily necessities for so many years.
