Xiao Ruoshui rolled her eyes and pouted indignantly. “Didn’t I say that I wouldn’t s.n.a.t.c.h Brother Song from you? How can you not believe me?”
Shen Yijia rolled her eyes even more. How could she believe someone who couldn’t walk properly whenever she saw her beautiful husband? Besides, were they close enough for her to visit?
Why did this woman expect so much from her?
Shen Yijia’s jaw ached. “Then why are you here?”
“Didn’t I say that I would come and play with you? Brother Yuan is busy with work and doesn’t have time to accompany me. I don’t have any other friends here. I’m unfamiliar with this place. If I don’t look for you, should I look for Brother Song instead?”
!!
“Of course I’d rather look for Brother Song, but you wouldn’t be happy with that.” Xiao Ruoshui thought.
As expected, Shen Yijia’s expression changed. “Fine, it’s better that you look for me.”
She had never thought that Xiao Ruoshui would suddenly become friends with her.
Xiao Ruoshui knew that Shen Yijia would say that. A sly look flashed across her eyes.
Regardless of whether Shen Yijia was happy or not, she took a few steps forward and held her hand. “I want to practice martial arts too. Teach me.”
She had thought about it for a long time after she returned yesterday, but she could not figure out how Shen Yijia had attacked.
If Shen Yijia could teach her a few moves, she could become as powerful as Shen Yijia.
Shen Yijia was focused on not letting her cling to her beautiful husband, she didn’t notice what Xiao Ruoshui was up to.
Seeing that Shen Yijia’s hand was held by Xiao Ruoshui, Song Jingchen’s face darkened.
Xiao Ruoshui inexplicably felt a chill down her spine. When she turned around, she saw Song Jingchen staring at her hand with dark eyes. She was so frightened that she immediately let go of Shen Yijia and hid her hands.
Afterwards, she noticed that Song Jingchen’s expression became much better.
Xiao Ruoshui finally reacted. Her heart, which had already been shattered, was crushed into powder.
She originally thought that Shen Yijia was the one being possessive over Brother Chen. She did not expect Brother Chen to be even more so. He was even wary of other girls holding Shen Yijia’s hands.
Brother Chen had never been like this in the past. No matter how much he disliked her, he didn’t show it because of her brother. She felt like this was the first time she had known this person’s thoughts.
Shen Yijia stopped in her tracks and realized that Xiao Ruoshui was looking back. Shen Yijia knew who she was looking at.
She gritted her teeth and grabbed Xiao Ruoshui’s collar to drag her to the front courtyard. “Don’t you want me to teach you? Let’s go, let’s spar.”
She emphasized the word sparring.
The bitterness in Xiao Ruoshui’s heart instantly disappeared without a trace, leaving only a sigh in her heart. Who did she offend? She was clearly the one who was injured. Why did these two people still treat her like this?
Shen Yijia guided her well before letting her go.
Then, Xiao Ruoshui did not dare to visit again for a few days.
Shen Yijia also visited He Xinci as she wished.
“Are there already children in your stomach?” Shen Yijia looked at He Xinci’s flat stomach with a curious expression.
He Xinci smiled happily and nodded, blushing.
She was now the An family’s precious treasure. Auntie Tian didn’t even let her leave the house for the past few days.
Even now, she only let her sit in the courtyard and bask in the sun. It could be seen how important the extra meat in her stomach was.
Shen Yijia was famous for her violence. Auntie Tian saw that Shen Yijia was moving closer to He Xinci’s stomach, reaching out to touch it.
Auntie Tian’s eyelids twitched. She hurriedly went over to separate the two of them and said with a smile, “Jiajia, you can’t touch Xinci’s stomach. Especially in the first three months, when the pregnancy isn’t stable yet. We can’t be careless.”
Shen Yijia awkwardly retracted her hand and scratched her head. “Auntie Tian, I understand.”
He Xinci also felt that Auntie Tian was too anxious and looked at Shen Yijia apologetically.
After sitting for a while, Shen Yijia felt bored and bade farewell to them before going home.
Seeing that she had returned with low spirits, Song Jingchen thought that she hadn’t seen He Xinci, whom she had been thinking about. He comforted her, “We’re neighbors, you can always visit again next time.”
“Hubby, when can I have children?” Shen Yijia suddenly asked.
Song Jingchen choked on his unfinished words and started coughing. “Why are you suddenly asking this?”
After Shen Yijia asked, her eyes lit up. That’s right, why did she have to look at others? Couldn’t she just get pregnant herself? When the time came, she could touch her stomach whenever she wanted.
Shen Yijia was thinking about something and didn’t hear Song Jingchen’s question at all. She only looked straight at Song Jingchen with a burning gaze.
Song Jingchen turned his head away from her gaze. “Did Mother say something to you? You don’t have to take it to heart. We can’t rush into it.”
Afraid that she would think too much, he added, “When the time comes, it’ll happen.”
Shen Yijia pondered over Song Jingchen’s words. She smacked her forehead and said, “Why didn’t I think of that? Look, An Dong and Xinci have just gotten married, but Xinci is already pregnant.”
“We’ve been married for so long. Maybe I’m pregnant now?”
After saying that, she touched her stomach as if she knew everything.
“Is that how you interpreted it? Besides, we haven’t consummated our marriage at all. How could you have a child?” he thought.
Seeing Shen Yijia’s actions, Song Jingchen was speechless. He was afraid that the more she thought about it, the more ridiculous it would become. In the end, he said firmly, “No. There’s nothing in your stomach.”
Shen Yijia widened her eyes and glared at Song Jingchen. She said indignantly, “How would you know that I’m not pregnant? You’re not me.”
As she spoke, she patted her stomach hard and straightened it. “I think there’s something inside. Didn’t Auntie Tian say that Xinci’s stomach was checked by the doctor? I’ll get him to examine me.”
The corners of Song Jingchen’s eyes twitched. Of course he’d know if she was pregnant or not.
Shen Yijia was a straightforward person. After saying that, she stood up and was about to leave when Song Jingchen quickly stopped her.
He held his forehead helplessly and was at a loss for words for a long time before saying with difficulty, “No, it’s impossible for you to get pregnant alone. Don’t think too much about it.”
Seeing how confident he was, Shen Yijia believed him.
“Don’t you have to go and check the accounts with Shopkeeper Du tomorrow? Have you learned all the math I taught you?” Afraid that Shen Yijia would ask him another difficult question, Song Jingchen quickly changed the topic.
When Shen Yijia heard this, she didn’t care if she had a child or not. She looked at Song Jingchen with a bitter expression. “Why don’t you go with me tomorrow, just like before?”
Song Jingchen had clearly helped her before, but for some reason, he suddenly wanted her to learn to do it on her own.
Thus, Shen Yijia encountered something more troublesome than calligraphy practice. It was mathematics.
