Shi Qingxue had been exposed by Shi Junhe for twice, and she was too powerless to ask him how he found it.
She had to crane her neck and tried to struggle, insisting. “I told the truth. Mother really misses you. If you don’t believe me, you can go back to ask her.”
Shi Junhe didn’t care when Shi Qingxue prodded him into action. “How can I be unclear about your mother’s character? Even if she really misses me, she wouldn’t tell you her feelings. Don’t fool me.”
He sat in the chair and remained unmoved.
“Father!” Shi Qingxue smiled flatteringly again and blinked innocently.
Generally, once she acted like this, showing her master stroke to him, even if Shi Junhe was reluctant to admit defeats, he would make her wish come true.
However, this time, Shi Junhe looked impassive and even waved at her impatiently, as if driving away flies. “Fine. There’s nothing that you can do here. Just go out to have fun by yourself. Didn’t His Excellency always ask you to ride a horse on the training ground?
“You like to ride a horse most at ordinary times. Why don’t you go to the training ground but idle about at home?”
She was greeted with a strong feeling that he disliked her, and even her master stroke was ineffective.
Shi Qingxue thought that it was like a thunderbolt out of a clear sky, and she was dumbfounded.
Her father even disliked her?
“Go now! Don’t stay here.” Shi Junhe didn’t give her time to restore her equilibrium but waved at her again to kick her out.
However, Shi Qingxue was stubborn. How could she be driven away so easily?
She pouted with displeasure and whispered, “But Mother told me to…”
“Fine, fine. I know what I should do. You are a kid and don’t mind the adults’ business!” Shi Junhe stopped her from saying more and just answered.
However, he was merely perfunctory.
After Shi Junhe responded to her, he even shouted at the door and summoned Shi Jie. “Go to prepare a carriage for Qingxue. She is going to ride a horse on the training ground. Send a letter to King Rui’s mansion and ask His Excellency to take good care of her.”
“Yes!”
Till Shi Qingxue was sent to the gate of King Rui’s mansion, she didn’t come back to earth from the bad news that “her father disliked her”.
Mo Junyang raised his hand and waved in front of her, and she suddenly “cried out”. “Purr… Mo Junyang, my father dislikes me unexpectedly. I am so poor!”
Although she complained tearfully, it was the same as playing the woman.
Only Mo Junyang cooperated with her and asked hurriedly with a frown, “What’s the matter? Tell me. I will avenge you.”
He looked serious. It seemed that as long as Shi Qingxue said that she was bullied, he would instantly go to Duke Shi’s mansion and beat up his future father-in-law.
Shi Qingxue thought of Mo Junyang’s “criminal record” and believed that it was quite possible.
She was scared and shook her head in a hurry. Then she didn’t dare to act like a spoilt child randomly and stated frankly, “No. I was joking. I just want to…”
“Oh? What do you want to do?” Mo Junyang’s face softened and he asked with interest.
Qingxue stuttered, “I just want, want to…” She couldn’t speak out the words “play the woman” even if she was beaten to death.
However, Mo Junyang gazed at her, which made her face blush like a red apple which had just been washed.
She was so lovely and attractive.
He really wanted to bite her.
Mo Junyang was itchy. When she almost couldn’t stand it, he looked away like an upright gentleman. In fact, he had a good laugh at her.
“Ahem… So we are going to the training ground now?”
Shi Qingxue wished that Mo Junyang didn’t bother about this matter anymore, and she didn’t expect that he was teasing her, so she nodded repeatedly. “Great. Let’s go now!”
Shi Junhe “kicked” Shi Qingxue out of the study and then prepared to continue to check the official documents. They were put in front of him for quite a while, yet he didn’t even read one word. In the end, he had to throw the documents back to the table top and then supported his forehead tiredly while sighing.
It happened that Mammy Zheng came to the study at the moment and asked respectfully, “My Lord, Madam told me to ask you if you will go to the bedroom and have lunch with her as the lunch is ready.”
Because special attention should be paid to the pregnant woman’s food, since they knew that Dong Hui was pregnant, her food was prepared specially and she never had meals with the others.
Mammy Zheng came to ask Shi Junhe, and it was obvious that Dong Hui gave him a chance to make peace.
Shi Junhe leered at Mammy Zheng with a faint smile and didn’t expose them. Instead, he nodded, replying, “I see. I will come later.”
Mammy Zheng didn’t expect that it went so smoothly, so she was joyful and expressed her thanks. It seemed that she didn’t come to ask him but to beg him.
Shi Junhe was not in the mood to talk with her and waved her away directly.
He sat in the chair for about fifteen more minutes and then finally made a decision. Then he stood up and went to Dong Hui’s bedroom.
As soon as she saw Shi Junhe, Dong Hui walked to him with a smile, saying happily, “Junhe, you are tired. I specially told the servants to prepare the food you like to eat. Let’s just have lunch now.”
Since Shi Junhe entered the room, he stared at Dong Hui all the time, to see that she smiled at him and talked to him calmly and intimately as usual.
However, it made his heart sink. After a long time, he responded, “Madam, thank you.”
Hearing Shi Junhe’s form of address, Dong Hui frowned with no trace, but soon she looked normal and sat with him to eat.
Although there was a lot of food on the dining table that she couldn’t eat, she still sat with Shi Junhe to show respect to him and offered him dishes and soup. She was more thoughtful and intimate to him than before.
However, Shi Junhe felt that the food in his mouth was tasteless and he couldn’t swallow it.
He ate more slowly and put down the tableware in the end, looking at Dong Hui deeply.
Dong Hui looked as if nothing had happened and even raised her bright eyes, gazing at Shi Junhe. Then she asked innocently, “Why do you stop eating?”
Shi Junhe was in a daze under Dong Hui’s stare and suddenly had a weird thought on his mind. He finally remembered why he fell in deep love with Dong Hui at first sight and why he loved his naughty youngest daughter most.
Not to mention anything else, this pair of bright and clever big eyes could arouse the softness at the bottom of his heart at any time.
Unfortunately…
Shi Junhe shook his head and shook off the messy thoughts. Then he turned his head and ordered the servants, “All of you, go away. You can’t come in without my order.”
“Yes!”
All the servants replied in unison. Then they left the bedroom one after another under Mammy Zheng’s leadership.
Mammy Zheng walked at the end. When she closed the door, she didn’t forget to give Dong Hui a glance to encourage her.
Dong Hui thought that Shi Junhe would talk about living together and could hardly conceal her excitement. She pinched her hand hard and then managed with effort to pretend calm. “Junhe, what will you tell me?”
“Don’t you have something to tell me?” Shi Junhe asked in reply.
It was beyond Dong Hui’s expectations and made her prepared answer stuck in her throat. She couldn’t speak a word.
She was astonished first and thought that Mammy Zheng had said something wrong in front of Shi Junhe, yet soon she guessed if Shi Qingxue had spilt the beans or…
“Stop guessing. I found it out myself.” Shi Junhe interrupted Dong Hui who was lost in various fancies and conjectures.
He looked steadily at Dong Hui with a bitter smile on her face. Then he continued, “We are a couple for so many years. Do you think that I am unable to guess what you are thinking about?”
Dong Hui blushed first because of Shi Junhe’s words “a couple for so many years”, but then his deep voice made her heart sink to a low point in an instant.
“Junhe!” She raised her head in haste and wanted to explain.
However, Shi Junhe waved his hand again and interrupted her, saying forcefully, “You are pregnant, and your task of a top priority now is to recuperate and give birth to a healthy baby. Don’t worry too much about anything else. I will handle everything.”
This voice was distant, but his concern could hardly be concealed.
Shi Junhe loved his wife after all.
Of course, Dong Hui noticed that and felt happy, so she ignored that a woman should be reserved and expressed softly, “Thanks for your concern, but Doctor Shen checked me and said that the baby in my womb is steady. Don’t worry.”
“It’s great that it is safe.” At the mention of the baby, Shi Junhe looked gentler.
“You suffer a lot as you sleep in the study these days. Now that the fetus is four months old, you can move back!” Dong Hui said slowly and stared at Shi Junhe with expectancy again.
The smile on Shi Junhe’s face stiffened, and he suddenly stopped talking.
He stayed silent for a moment and then shook his head, replying casually, “No need. The baby is more important. I am afraid that if I come back, I will disturb you when you have a rest.”
Dong Hui explained in an instant, “No. When you are not here, I can’t sleep well.”
Shi Junhe was quiet again. After a long time, he still shook his head and said indifferently, “It’s troublesome to move here and there, and I am used to sleeping in the study now. Let’s just be like this for now.”
“Junhe!”
Dong Hui was anxious and tried to grab Shi Junhe’s sleeve. Nevertheless, before she touched it, he avoided her subconsciously.
Her hand stopped in the midair and didn’t move up or down.
Both of them froze for a moment and seemed not to realize the current situation.
Dong Hui waited about fifteen minutes but Shi Junhe didn’t apologize to her or grab her hand. He just let it stiffen in the midair and seemed to dislike her.
Dong Hui’s heart fell to the lowest point instantly, and she restrained her urge to cry. Afterward, she withdrew her hand and forced herself to continue smiling, stressing each word while asking, “Junhe, are you really unwilling to move back?”
Looking at Dong Hui’s smiling face which was even uglier than what she looked when she was crying, Shi Junhe was moved and almost wanted to pull her into his arms.
Nevertheless, he still clenched his fist in the end and avoided Dong Hui’s eyes with expectancy, insisting, “I still…”
Tears fell from Dong Hui’s eyes at once.
She couldn’t stand it anymore and asked in tears, “You don’t call me Hui or sleep with me anymore… Do you really dislike me?”
“Of course not!” Shi Junhe denied it firmly and wanted to explain, but he shut his mouth helplessly at last.
He just repeated, “You are pregnant and should keep the baby safe. Don’t think too much about anything else!”
She had been happy before, but she was irritated now. She couldn’t bear it anymore and shouted at Shi Junhe, “You lied to me! I think you still bother about the matter that I met my father’s student. I have said that there is nothing happening between us. Why don’t you believe me?”
“It’s not that I don’t believe you. Don’t…” Shi Junhe repeated powerlessly, yet the weariness and gloom on his face said obviously, “That’s not true. He does care.”
“Huh, you said that you believe me, but tell me how many times you have looked at me after that happened. How many times have you talked with me alone?”
He would only avoid seeing her or be indifferent to her.
Dong Hui almost went crazy because of Shi Junhe’s silent treatment.
Shi Junhe clenched his fist and suddenly raised his head, asking, “What do you think I should do?”
“What?”
Shi Junhe forced a smile and demanded, “Tell me what I should do after that happened.”
Dong Hui finally understood what Shi Junhe meant, and she answered subconsciously, “Isn’t it that you don’t care? Even after Mother and the others forced me in that way, you just protect me. I thought you wouldn’t care…”
“Don’t care? Do you think it is possible?” Shi Junhe sneered and his eyes were distant.
When could they think that he didn’t care while his wife had an affair with another man as he protected her?

Now that the fetus is four months old, you can move back! Dong Hui said slowly and stared at Shi Junhe with expectancy again.The smile on Shi Junhe's face stiffened, and he suddenly stopped talking.He stayed silent for a moment and then shook his head, replying casually, No need. The baby is more important. I am afraid that if I come back, I will disturb you when you have a rest.Dong Hui explained in an instant, No. When you are not here, I can't sleep well.Shi Junhe was quiet again. After a long time, he still shook his head and said indifferently, It's troublesome to move here and there, and I am used to sleeping in the study now. Let's just be like this for now.Junhe!Dong Hui was anxious and tried to grab Shi Junhe's sleeve. Nevertheless, before she touched it, he avoided her subconsciously.Her hand stopped in the midair and didn't move up or down.Both of them froze for a moment and seemed not to realize the current situation.Dong Hui waited about fifteen minutes but Shi Junhe didn't apologize to her or grab her hand. He just let it stiffen in the midair and seemed to dislike her.Dong Hui's heart fell to the lowest point instantly, and she restrained her urge to cry. Afterward, she withdrew her hand and forced herself to continue smiling, stressing each word while asking, Junhe, are you really unwilling to move back?Looking at Dong Hui's smiling face which was even uglier than what she looked when she was crying, Shi Junhe was moved and almost wanted to pull her into his arms.Nevertheless, he still clenched his fist in the end and avoided Dong Hui's eyes with expectancy, insisting, I stillTears fell from Dong Hui's eyes at once.She couldn't stand it anymore and asked in tears, You don't call me Hui or sleep with me anymore Do you really dislike me?Of course not! Shi Junhe denied it firmly and wanted to explain, but he shut his mouth helplessly at last.He just repeated, You are pregnant and should keep the baby safe. Don't think too much about anything else!She had been happy before, but she was irritated now. She couldn't bear it anymore and shouted at Shi Junhe, You lied to me! I think you still bother about the matter that I met my father's student. I have said that there is nothing happening between us. Why don't you believe me?It's not that I don't believe you. Don't Shi Junhe repeated powerlessly, yet the weariness and gloom on his face said obviously, That's not true. He does care.Huh, you said that you believe me, but tell me how many times you have looked at me after that happened. How many times have you talked with me alone?He would only avoid seeing her or be indifferent to her.Dong Hui almost went crazy because of Shi Junhe's silent treatment.Shi Junhe clenched his fist and suddenly raised his head, asking, What do you think I should do?What?Shi Junhe forced a smile and demanded, Tell me what I should do after that happened.Dong Hui finally understood what Shi Junhe meant, and she answered subconsciously, Isn't it that you don't care? Even after Mother and the others forced me in that way, you just protect me. I thought you wouldn't careDon't care? Do you think it is possible? Shi Junhe sneered and his eyes were distant.When could they think that he didn't care while his wife had an affair with another man as he protected her?
