StartNovelChapter 679: 425 Very clingy Jiang Wuye, too overbearing Huo Ye
In the bedroom, the lighting was dimly warm; Tang Wan was reading a parenting book, so the light from the
bedside lamp was turned up to its brightest. She tilted her head to look at the person next to her; Shen Shuci
was staring at her phone, seemingly lost in whatever she was looking at...
Her gaze was blank, her expression wooden.
She was really curious about what that so-called ordinary friend or colleague had sent her that had frightened
her so much.
Shen Shuci was truly bewildered, staring at the saucy, hip-swaying figure on the screen, feeling an extreme
breakdown inside!
The figure was saucily animated, with a rather cheeky expression, as if mocking her for being a fool.
In just one minute, countless bizarre thoughts flashed through her mind:
Like telling him it was a mistake, or she had clicked the wrong thing...
Meanwhile, Huo Qingi had sent her many messages when he was back at the base. Shen Shuci seldom replied,
and when she did talk to him, it was always very polite, almost never using emojis; he didn’t expect her to like
this type of expression.
In the past, Huo Qingi only used sbasic emojis that cwith the system, but to match Shen Shuci, he had
specifically asked Qi Zeyan to send him semojis.
Qi Zeyan was still out socializing, and when he received his message, he was already quite surprised:
[Old Huo? What's up so late?]
[Hand over your emojis.]
[What do you need them for?]
[It’s urgent.]
[Are you going to flirt with Auntie?]Qi Zeyan teased him on purpose; he used to call Miss Shen politely, but now
he referred to her directly as Auntie.
[So, are you going to give them toor not?]
Qi Zeyan, upon hearing this, was slightly annoyed. You're asking for a favor yet being so arrogant?
You want emojis, right? Alright, I'll give them to you.
The first emoji Huo Qinqi received was of a dog leaping up to hit another dog, accompanied by the text: [Watch
And then c[Shut up, idiot!], [You have the nerve to say that, don’t you have any shame?], [Go die]...
A crack finally appeared on Huo Qingi’s usually unflappable face.
This kid...
He couldn’t be hinting at something about himself, could he?
But there were still quite a few decent ones later on.
So, while Shen Shuci was still thinking of how to word her response, she received an emoji of [patting head]
followed by a message:
[I understand how you feel.]
Shen Shuci could almost beat the heavens and earth; what did he understand!
Soon, Huo Qingi sent another message: [I'm free lately, whenever you're available.]
Shen Shuci owed him several meals, had troubled him a lot, and had even damaged his watch—though it was
fixed now, she had indeed been the one to break it. Most importantly, their relationship at present indeed
needed to be clarified; they couldn’t continue in this awkward state...
She had previously been worried about Liang Family's issues, and then her mother was hospitalized for check-
ups, which kept her very busy. Now, she felt it was indeed tto have a good chat with him.
Pressing her phone, Shen Shuci entered the message: [How about tomorrow noon, you pick the place.]
If it were dinner, Huo Qingi would surely drive her home, which might lead to other complications, so she

this the would definitely be paying...
Shen Shuci had planned everything perfectly. After receiving a positive reply and agreeing to contact each other
the next day, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, put away her phone, and prepared to go to sleep.
"Carrying a baby, and you're not going to rest early?" Shen Shuci looked at Tang Wan next to her.
Naturally very gentle, she wore a warm white house dress with her long hair draped over her shoulders and
tucked behind her ears. Under the light, her whole figure was enveloped in a soft halo.
"I'll sleep in a bit. But just who is this ordinary friend or colleague of yours, sending you messages so late at
night?"
Although Tang Wan wasn’t particularly gossipy, Shen Shuci rarely seemed so flustered, and naturally, she was
curious about who could make her act this way.
"It’s nothing." It wasn’t that the other person had scared her, but rather that she had made a mistake herself,
probably giving Huo Qingi a fright as well.
"| see you replying to messages like you're facing a major crisis. It's rare for anyone to make you react like this.
I'm quite curious," Tang Wan closed her book. "Hey, how about | invite your colleague for a meal sometime?"
"Why would you invite my colleague for a meal?"
"Didn’t you say once the project in your hands is completed, you could beca permanent employee? Your
colleagues at the company seem to take good care of you, so why not treat them to a meal if you're confirmed?"
Tang Wan was just teasing her.
"That's my business. You should be focusing on your pregnancy right now. When are you two planning to tell the
family?"
Tang Wan rested her chin on her hands and looked at her, smiling slightly. "Auntie, you've actually learned to
change the subject?"
Shen Shuci usually spoke with her very directly.
"It doesn’t suit your personality, sounds too forced," Tang Wan said with a smile, but she wasn’t going to push
her. "Actually, Wuge and | want to complete a genetic disease screening for the baby."
Shen Shuci paused; Jiang Jinsang was healthy and unharmed, she hadn’t thought too much about it until now,
but they seemed to have thought everything through more thoroughly.
"By the way, should Grandma's medical checkup results be out by now? Were there any problems?"
Tang Wan took it lightly, knowing that if there really was something wrong with the child, she couldn't control it,
but she was clear in her mind that overthinking would definitely not be good for the child.
"Just the old problems, her heart isn’t very good, and her eyes are somewhat poor."
Her granny’s eye issues had started when Tang Wan’s mother passed away, brought on by tears, and she even
had surgery.
"Wasn't the eye surgery effective?" Tang Wan frowned.
"The surgery went quite well, but given her age...," Shen Shuci took a deep breath, "I just want to stay by their
side. | really can’t feel at ease if they stay abroad."
"Grandpa and Grandma want you to have a life of your own."
"I even talked to them today, asking them to cto Beijing to live, but they didn’t want to."
"If they chere, you would surely revolve your life around them, invalidating their whole reason for sending
you to Beijing. However, there's a way to make them cwillingly."
"What is it?" Shen Shuci perked up at this.
However, what Tang Wan said next made her both embarrassed and annoyed.
"If you get married, get pregnant, and have a child, you wouldn't need to say anything—they would happily
crunning back to the country. You wouldn't be able to drive them away if you tried."
"You should just go to sleep," Shen Shuci crawled under the covers, no longer wanting to speak.
Tang Wan read her book for a while longer, and then her phone vibrated. She whispered, ‘auntie...’
Shen Shuci thought Tang Wan was up to ssilly pranks again. Clearly not asleep, she pretended to be and
ignored her. Tang Wan tiptoed out of bed, leaving only a small nightlight on at the bedside before opening the
door and exiting...
"You scaredto death, why are you standing at the door?" Tang Wan's voice was very low, somewhat
coquettish.
"I was waiting for you," Jiang Jinsang’s voice. "Is auntie asleep?"
"Yes, let's keep our voices down. Why are you here so late? | was about to sleep."
"Let’s go back to my room and talk."
Shen Shuci was thinking that Tang
Wan should have cback to
sleep. Being pregnant, he weird

The fact was... Tang Wan hadn’t returned all night.
This left Shen Shuci amused yet frustrated; she was obviously coerced into staying, but in the dead of night, she
was abandoned as Tang Wan went off to sleep with her husband.
She hadn't really noticed before that Jiang Jinsang was so clingy; couldn't he manage even one night apart?
ok
Since Shen Shuci had a project
ongoing and her manager knew her
parents were in Beiji ggndweren't in

coming to the office recently. After
having breakfast at the Jiang
Mansion and visiting her parents, she
received a message from Huo Qingi.
"Are you at the office? I'll cpick you up." They had arranged to have lunch together.
"I'm at the hotel where my parents are staying."
"The resort hotel where Yanting got married?"
"es."
"Half an hour, I'll be waiting for you outside."
Initially, Shen Shuci hadn't planned to dress up, but the moment the old lady heard she was going out for lunch
with someone, she lied saying it was with a female colleague to discuss work, yet the old lady still forcefully
asked her to put on makeup and dress up.
"Mom, I'm meeting a female colleague, do | need to do all this?"

Left with no choice, Shen Shuci dolled herself up a bit, thankful that she wasn’t at her own hlacking a
change of clothes, or the old lady would have no doubt forced her to change completely, inside and out.
The place Huo Qingi had chosen to meet was a bus stop in Hexi, which was nearly in the Beijing suburbs, not
very crowded, with only Shen Shuci standing there.
From a distance, he saw her...
"Sir, today Miss Shen seems to have made an effort to dress up, it’s rare to see her with her hair down, she looks
beautiful."
"She's beautiful usually, but today she looks even better."
Flattery never hurts, praising vigorously is always right.
"Yes, it seems Miss Shen also values your meeting."
The driver from the Huo Family, too thrilled, listened as Huo Qingi squinted towards the woman not far off and
spoke amidst the flattery from the front two:
"Focus on driving, your eyes are for watching the movements of the surrounding cars, not for random looking."
The Huo Family driver clammed up, not daring to speak further...
The implication was:
Aren't you allowed to even look? That's too domineering!
