Transmigrated as the Ex-Wife of a Heroic Man Chapter 1371: Little Secret

Chapter 1371: Chapter 1371: Little Secret

Perhaps what she really cared about wasn’t whether she had been deceived or not, but rather the difference between Zhou Hengguang’s ident.i.ty and her own.

Zhou Hengguang was her brother-in-law’s own younger brother.

Strictly speaking, she shouldn’t have been overly involved with him.

Moreover, Zhou Hengguang was an a.s.sociate professor at a prestigious university and a national-grade civil engineer, whereas she? She hadn’t even attended university, not to mention graduated from high school.

She was just a girl from the countryside, whose biggest dream in life was to find a diligent and ambitious person to strive alongside, and perhaps by the time she was forty, she too could achieve success and recognition.

She should have resolutely refused Zhou Hengguang last night, not sparing him a single minute of her time. She should have said some very harsh words to completely sever any relations.h.i.+p between them.

But she didn’t say them; she simply couldn’t utter those words. She couldn’t bear to look at him and say such things to his face.

Truth be told, she hadn’t slept at all last night, spending it all in thought, and she suddenly realized she couldn’t bear to part with him.

“Big sister, what are you thinking about? What’s wrong with you?”

Su Xiu’s voice interrupted Su Qing’s reverie. She took a deep breath and rubbed her face with her hands, trying hard to squeeze out a relaxed smile, “I’m fine, I was just thinking too much about a problem just now.”

“All right then.” Su Xiu was still somewhat worried, but since her big sister didn’t want to talk about it, she didn’t feel right continuing to ask.

Everyone has their little secrets, and sometimes she would often think of He Changming.

When they used to live in the village, He Changming would occasionally find a chance to visit her. Now that she had moved to the province, unless it was for studio restocking, it was really difficult to see him. She had received a letter from He Changming before the New Year, along with a gift for her.

She had stared at the letter for a long time, and then didn’t have the heart to throw away any of it, including the envelope, choosing to keep it all secretly without telling anyone. That too was her little secret.

Second sister must have had someone she liked, so she wanted to treasure the secret in the depths of her heart.

Having figured that out, Su Xiu, along with Su Xue, went outside to entertain the guests; after all, everything that needed to be prepared was ready.

Because there were many people, everyone decided to play cards before dinner, choosing to play Fight the Landlord. It started with Liu Qiang, Zhou Hengyang, Zou Yi, and Liu Chun playing. Then they rotated players, with Zhou Hengyang being replaced by Su Wen, and Zou Yi by Su Xue.

The card game of Fight the Landlord continued until the party disbanded, and surprisingly, Su Xue won the most money, becoming the biggest winner.

“Thank goodness Fifth sister didn’t join, otherwise all of us would have lost everything we had,” Su Wen said with a relieved look, patting her chest.

Zhou Hengyang seized the opportunity to cozy up to his wife, whispering softly, “Don’t worry, if you lose it’s on me, but if you win, it’s all yours.”

His words made Su Wen break into a beaming smile.

“Time to eat, I’ve been hungry for a while,” Liu Chunfeng always had a lot to say, ensuring there was never an awkward atmosphere, “A’Xiu, what are we having for dinner tonight?”

“What do you want to eat?” By now she was familiar with the frequent visits and wasn’t shy, asking jokingly.

“That’s too many to count, but what I want most is for big sister-in-law to cook herself.”

“Keep dreaming,” Su Xiu glanced at him, “Even if my big sister is willing, my brother-in-law won’t be.”

“Of course! I can’t let my wife cook now,” Zhou Hengyang was eager to cherish Su Wen, carrying her in his pocket if he could, pampering her as the woman of his heart. Pregnancy was hard enough without having Liu Chun expect her to cook for him, dream on!
