Chapter 347 Her Feelings for You Are Not Pure
"Yes, we're here, so what do you have to worry about?" Shang Hua added.
Zhuang Qingxiang looked at Lu Congyue, then at Shang Hua.
She seemed to have a lot to say, but couldn't get it out, probably because she felt it was unnecessary. She pursed her lips and finally softly replied, "Okay."
She seemed somewhat absent-minded when she came out of the ward.
They're both women, how could she not see through Shang Hua's thoughts?
But then I felt it was impossible.
Lu Congyue clearly always treated Shang Hua as an older sister and respected her greatly; they should have always interacted as siblings.
Furthermore, Shang Hua had been married before...
You must have misread it, right?
Zhuang Qingxiang suspected that she had been influenced by Xiao Luyue and had developed some kind of prejudice against Shang Hua, which was why she felt that Shang Hua had those kinds of thoughts.
Just as she was walking slowly, Lu Congyue called out from behind her.
Zhuang Qingxiang turned around in surprise and saw Lu Congyue rushing towards her.
She was so frightened that her legs went weak.
"What's wrong? What happened to Cheng Lin?"
Lu Congyue quickly helped her up: "Cheng Lin is fine, Sister Shang is watching over him. I was just worried because you seemed a bit off."
Although Lu Congyue was worried about his son, he was even more worried about Zhuang Qingxiang.
Seeing that her expression was a little off when she left, after much deliberation, he left his son in Shanghua's care and chased after her.
"Haruka, something's on your mind!" he said confidently. "Is there something you want to tell me?"
Zhuang Qingxiang frowned slightly.
"Qingxiang, we've said before that we should talk things out and not hide anything," Lu Congyue said immediately.
He had concealed it, and the consequences were severe. Fortunately, Zhuang Qingxiang eventually forgave him; otherwise, he wouldn't know what to do.
After that, the two of them had a special talk and both felt that they should be honest with each other from now on and no longer hide anything from each other.
Meeting Lu Congyue's worried and anxious gaze, Zhuang Qingxiang subconsciously tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear before whispering, "I told you... I was afraid you'd blame me for overthinking."
"No!" Lu Congyue said firmly. "If you don't tell me, you're just overthinking things. Once people start overthinking, they easily get stuck in a rut. Qingxiang, I don't want any accidents to happen between us."
Zhuang Qingxiang knew he was afraid that she would bring up separation or divorce again.
After a soft sigh, she said, "Alright, then I'll say it. Congyue, I hope you can keep a certain distance from Shanghua."
Lu Congyue paused for a moment, then said in a low voice, "I'm sorry you had to go through this. Sister Shang might have some prejudice against you... But don't worry, I'll explain things to her. If she still can't accept you, then I won't let you see her again."
Zhuang Qingxiang was slightly surprised.
He didn't seem to understand what she meant, but everything he said was for her sake.
Lu Congyue felt very sad at this moment.
He deeply respects Uncle Shang and is grateful to everyone in Uncle Shang's family. He still remembers the help they gave him when he was young.
But he didn't understand why they could accept him, who came from the mountains, but couldn't accept Zhuang Qingxiang, who came from the countryside.
He couldn't choose between the two; he could only separate them so they wouldn't meet again.
Although Sister Shang didn't say anything to Zhuang Qingxiang, she always knew that Zhuang Qingxiang's upbringing made her very sensitive to other people's emotions. She could easily sense other people's dislike for her and then deal with it cautiously.
Lu Congyue didn't want Zhuang Qingxiang to have to be so careful in dealing with others now.
"Qingxiang, Sister Shang isn't a bad person. If she made you uncomfortable, I apologize on her behalf. Don't blame her," he added.
Zhuang Qingxiang frowned slightly: "You misunderstood. I don't care about her attitude towards me, because to me she's an outsider, a stranger. If she doesn't like me, I don't like her either. Congyue, what I care about is her attitude towards you."
Zhuang Qingxiang glanced at the inpatient department, her heart aching for her son in the ward. Not wanting to waste any more time with Lu Congyue, she steeled herself and spoke the truth: "Congyue, she has feelings for you, haven't you sensed it?"
"What are you thinking?" Lu Congyue was taken aback.
"Do I really have to be so blunt?" Zhuang Qingxiang pursed her lips and said softly, "She came here this time because of you. Her feelings for you are impure! Lu Congyue, I know you two grew up together and have a deep bond. You may have treated her like an older sister before, but now... If you have any thoughts, you can tell me anytime. I won't hold you back..."
"Stop talking!" Lu Congyue abruptly interrupted her, his face full of disbelief. "What nonsense are you spouting? Sister Shang is the older sister, the eldest sister. How could we possibly... You're really getting stuck on this."
Lu Congyue was both amused and exasperated, finding Zhuang Qingxiang incredibly adorable, and he even began to feel happy.
My wife is jealous. For the first time ever, she's started to care about him, really care.
However, he doesn't like his wife threatening to divorce him all the time.
If it weren't for the fact that it was broad daylight, he would have liked to hug his wife and give her a good kiss, telling her not to be jealous or worry, that she was the only one in his heart.
"Haruka, don't think nonsense. Be good. I promise, you're the only one for me in this life." He lowered his voice and said in a tone of swearing an oath.
Zhuang Qingxiang was not comforted, but instead said to him seriously, "I'm not talking nonsense. I'm not stupid. I can feel her feelings for you. It's your business if you don't believe me, but anyway... that's what I mean."
"Okay, okay, you're not lying. It was my fault. I didn't give you enough confidence. Tell me, what can I do to make you believe me?" Lu Congyue asked with a smile.
Zhuang Qingxiang felt a little annoyed when she saw his smile.
He clearly didn't take her words to heart.
"Forget it, I'm not talking to you anymore. You go back and keep an eye on Chenglin. I also need to go back and take care of Yueyue and Donghua." Zhuang Qingxiang simply stopped talking and sent Lu Congyue away. She also rushed home.
When Xiao Luyue saw her mother return alone, she knew her younger brother wasn't better yet, and asked worriedly, "Mom, aren't we going to the hospital to stay with my brother?"
"Your father is with you." Zhuang Qingxiang paused, then added, "And Aunt Shang is there too. Don't you dislike her? Then we won't go over."
Xiao Luyue frowned upon hearing this: "That aunt is here... What about my little brother? She doesn't like him either."
"Daddy's here. Daddy will protect your little brother," Zhuang Qingxiang comforted the little girl with a smile.
But for some reason, the little girl was very uneasy, inexplicably uneasy, thinking about Xiao Chenglin in the hospital.
Zhuang Qingxiang was quickly proven wrong.
She told the little girl that her father would take good care of her younger brother, but in the evening, someone ran back to ask if Xiao Chenglin had come home.
Zhuang Qingxiang felt a sinking feeling in her heart, followed by intense pain.
"Who are you? Who sent you to ask these questions?"
"Director Lu asked me to come back and ask if Cheng Lin has returned. I still need to go back to the hospital to report back to Director Lu," the man said.
