Lihoumen

Chapter 41 His lips covered

Shen Han nodded and said, "I was irrational. I sent that girl away. Let's just put this matter behind us."

Qingqing nodded to show her agreement. Shen Han continued, "Don't worry. From now on, I won't follow the example of those rich and powerful children and take concubines."

Qingqing raised her eyes upon hearing this and looked at Shen Han steadily. After a long moment, she asked, "Do you take your husband's words seriously?"

Shen Han looked into her sparkling eyes and nodded solemnly, "Really."

Qingqing smiled.

It was the first time he saw her smile so happily since he came back.

Shen Han also smiled, raised his hand and pulled Qingqing to sit down across the table. He asked, "I have been honest with you about what I want to say. Now it's your turn. Tell me why you are angry with me." He cleared his throat and said in a low voice, "Why are you sending me to the study room for no reason?"

Sending him to the study room means you suspect he is visiting a prostitute.

Now that she knew she had misunderstood him, Qingqing naturally wouldn't mention it again.

Not only does it hurt people's self-esteem, but it also makes her look petty.

Although it was natural for her to make such a judgment in that situation, it was inappropriate to mention it now.

Qingqing also wanted to be frank with Shen Han, so she simply avoided this already meaningless topic and only asked the main questions.

She looked at him and said, "I am angry with you mainly because you privately adopted Lin's cousin's child as your adopted son."

She also didn't want to suspect that Shen Han and Lin Ruoqing had an illegitimate child, but the fact that Hao'er looked so much like him made her suspicious.

When this matter was mentioned, the smile on Shen Han's face gradually faded. He sighed slightly and replied: "Since I have already adopted the child as my adopted son, I naturally cannot go back on my word. If I go back on my word, how can I live as a human being?"

Qingqing said in a deep voice: "I don't mean to force you to be a person who doesn't keep his word."

"Then what do you want to do?" Shen Han asked.

Qingqing couldn't ask Shen Han directly whether the child was your illegitimate child with Lin Ruoqing.

Even if it is true, would Shen Han admit it himself?
He is in a high position and has always valued his reputation more than his life. Moreover, seeing Shen Han in such a state, he really wants to get along well with her. With his wisdom, if it is really the truth, he will naturally not reveal the shameful privacy of the past.

Besides, even if he really admitted it, what could she do?

Because of this, she broke up with him? Could she really give up Shen Han?

When I saw him enter that girl Ji's room just now, the heart-wrenching feeling I felt was not fake.

Qingqing thought about it for a long time, but she didn't ask such a difficult question directly. She just said in a roundabout way: "Just admit it. Maybe I'm too stingy. Seeing that you love the child so much, I feel a little uncomfortable."

"No matter how much I love Hao'er, he is just my adopted son." He held Qingqing's hand and said, "When we have children in the future, I will naturally love our children more."

They haven't even consummated their marriage yet, so where would the child come from?

As soon as Shen Han said this, he glanced at Qingqing's slightly blushing face, cleared his throat awkwardly, and ended the topic.

Qingqing pulled her hand back. To hide her embarrassment, she raised her hand to pick up the teacup on the table and pretended to pour tea to drink. Shen Han stood up, walked to the window and pretended to look at the flowers and plants outside the window, and said casually: "The banana trees under the corridor are growing well."

"Okay?" Qingqing took a sip of tea and said, "It rained heavily a few days ago, and the banana leaves were beaten to pieces by the rain."

"There are still two or three pieces left. What I mean is, they are not bad." Shen Han also thought this topic was silly, so he left the window. Before passing by the table, his eyes suddenly fixed on the paper on the table.

That was the divorce letter that Qingqing had just written halfway.

Qingqing hurried over, put her hands on the paper, and looked at Shen Han without blinking with fear in her watery eyes.

Shen Han took her hand away and reached out to pick up the page of letter.

It was only a few breaths, but Qingqing felt it was so unbearable.

Since Shen Han came back, there have been many misunderstandings between them, and Shen Han has always taken the initiative to resolve them. To be fair, he has been patient enough with her. But I am so impulsive.

Qingqing lowered her head deeply, waiting for Shen Han's wrath.

But when Shen Han saw the paper, he smiled. He crumpled up the half-written divorce letter and threw it into the wastebasket. Then he leaned over and stared at Qingqing, saying, "You are really a child who never grows up."

Qingqing's heart suddenly ached and tears couldn't stop falling.

"Why are you crying again?"

He raised his hand to wipe her tears, but she turned her head away. He said generously: "It's okay, I know you were impulsive, I won't blame you."

"I'm not an impulsive person."

Qingqing quickly wiped away her tears, then looked at Shen Han and said in a crackling voice: "I married you for three years, and you left me on the wedding day. I suffered so much injustice in this mansion, but you came back with a woman and a son. Do you know how sad I am? You would rather go to those prostitutes in Qinlou and Chuguan to relieve yourself than touch me. Don't you think I have no self-respect? And, I saw you enter that Ji girl's room with my own eyes. Humph! I want a divorce, but it's not impulsive."

After all, she was still a little girl. In a hurry, Qingqing vented all the grievances in her heart, leaving Shen Han stunned.

He could recognize the rest.

But what about seeking relief from prostitutes?

Shen Han took a long time to react, but still couldn't digest this most irritating thing. He has always been a man of integrity.

Go find a prostitute to relieve yourself?

To Shen Han, this sounded like a humiliation.

"Don't cry." This time, he directly wiped the tears from her face, then stared at her and asked, "When did I go to find a prostitute?"

In fact, Qingqing's venting seemed to be a result of someone having seen through her little thoughts and she just wanted to throw the jar into the air.

After she calmed down, Qingqing realized that she had said something wrong when facing Shen Han's questioning.

She simply turned her head away, sobbing, and refused to pay any attention to Shen Han.

Shen Han smiled in a good-tempered manner. He raised his hand and pulled her over, and asked patiently, "Don't keep your grievances in your heart. You said I went out to find a prostitute to relieve myself. What's going on?"

Qingqing was asked so she couldn't escape anymore, so she could only stammer and reply, "That day you said you were going hunting with the Seventh Prince and Zhou Ning. When you came back at night, I smelled the scent on you."

"What's that smell?" Shen Han asked seriously.

"It's the kind of spice that only women in brothels use." She felt guilty, but tried to act righteous.

Shen Han thought about it seriously and replied, "I did see Ji Nu dancing that day, but I didn't go to a Qinlou or Chuguan, but a restaurant."

"I didn't visit prostitutes, not that time, and I never had this habit before."

He explained to her solemnly, and then said: "I am telling the truth."

Qingqing knew that she had wronged someone, so she would not continue to pester him. Upon hearing this, she quickly whispered, "I believe you."

After she finished speaking, there was no movement from Shen Han for a long time. Qingqing raised her eyes, only to see him staring at her without blinking.

There seemed to be fire burning in his eyes.

She was in great anxiety and felt very uneasy.

She twisted her handkerchief and stammered, "Why are you looking at me like this?"

Before she could finish her words, she felt her waist tighten and she was pulled into Shen Han's arms. Then, his hot lips covered hers.
