CHAPTER 626: CHAPTER 624: DON’T TRUST YOUR HUSBAND TOO MUCH

She glanced at the caller ID, which showed a United States number.

After hesitating over and over, she pressed the answer key.

"Xiao Qing? Isn’t your husband back yet?"

Xiao Qing furrowed her brows. The woman was speaking fluent Mandarin, however, her voice was clearly altered and unrecognizable.

"Who are you?"

"Heh~ Don’t worry about who I am just yet. Your husband hasn’t come home, right? Ah, women always believe the man by their side is the best. The richer the man, the more likely he is to have a mistress outside. Don’t you agree?"

Xiao Qing’s expression turned stern, "What exactly are you trying to say?"

"Nothing much. Just a reminder not to trust your husband too much."

"Hey, don’t hang up yet~"

"Beep, beep, beep~"

Xiao Qing was furious and redialed the number she had just called, only to get a message that the phone was turned off.

She cursed under her breath, "Lunatic!"

In this day and age, even if Liu Xiahui was suspected of infidelity, she would still believe that Lu Jinyang would not cheat. Obviously, this woman was trying to stir trouble. Otherwise, why wouldn’t she produce any evidence?

However...

Xiao Qing looked towards the empty space beside her, feeling an inexplicable sense of suffocation in her heart.

These days, Lu Jinyang has always been very busy, coming back late into the night, or returning early in the morning with a weary body, lying down for just two hours before getting up again and continuing to go out.

She worried about his health, but he assured her he had it under control.

Most importantly, during this period, he hasn’t touched her at all, the most he did was to kiss her forehead lightly, stopping there.

Could it be...

Xiao Qing shook her head vigorously, dispelling those unrealistic thoughts, and pulled the quilt over her head.

This night, Lu Jinyang came back again at dawn.

After taking a shower, he found that Xiao Qing, who had been sleeping in bed, was nowhere to be seen.

He frowned and walked out, searching all around the villa and finally found her in the kitchen.

"Why are you up so early?"

Lu Jinyang walked over, wrapping his arms around her waist from behind, chin resting on her slender shoulders, his eyes half-closed.

Xiao Qing’s hand holding the soup spoon paused for a moment, "Tired?"

"Not really."

"Do you want to eat something before going to sleep?"

"No, I’ll eat when I get up later."

Having said that, Lu Jinyang affectionately rubbed his neck against her and then released her to walk upstairs.

As he left, Xiao Qing’s expression fell. It wasn’t for anything else but because Lu Jinyang had come back so late and hadn’t mentioned a word about it.

Even with a strong-minded attitude, she could not treat this matter with indifference.

Xiao Qing’s eyes dimmed.

Are all men fickle-hearted?

She took a deep breath, the thought of investigating this matter taking root in her heart, especially the woman who had called. Otherwise, she would not be able to rest easy.

-

Ning Qian’s recent days had not been easy.

Tan Biyang had not given her the money as she had demanded. She had waited outside Tan Biyang’s apartment several times to no avail, leaving her anxious and infuriated.

It seemed that she really needed to hasten that man to take action.

She took out her phone and called the man, conveying some matters to be cautious about, and the man promised he would make his move tonight.

After hanging up the phone, Ning Qian couldn’t contain her joy.

Since someone was willing to act on her behalf, there was no need for her to keep waiting here.

Turning around, she saw Tan Biyang approaching from a distance.

Ning Qian was overjoyed. Before Tan Biyang could notice her, she dashed towards her. By the time Tan Biyang realized, it was already too late to avoid.
