Chapter 642

Zhou Shihe had just reached the first-floor entrance when she bumped head-on into Li Heng, who was rushing inside.

Because Li Heng had come in almost at a jog, the force was quite significant. The frail Zhou Shihe almost fell, but fortunately, her reflexes were quick; she reached out her right hand to grab the door frame and steadied herself.

Li Heng instinctively reached out his hand. Seeing her cast a glance at him, he paused, then retracted his hand and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

Zhou Shihe remained quiet and serene, then lowered her head, passed by him, and walked out.

Well, Miss Zhou still wasn't very willing to pay him any mind. Li Heng, having self-awareness, didn't dwell on it and continued walking toward the second floor.

But just as he reached the corner of the stairs, Xiao Han's figure appeared in his line of sight.

Li Heng stopped in his tracks and secretly observed his scheming wife's facial expression.

Xiao Han walked gracefully up to him and whispered in his ear, "Mr. Li, there is a lot of blood on the second floor; you should go deal with it quickly."

Li Heng: "..."

He didn't take the bait, took her hand, and turned to walk out of the school.

On the way, the two bumped into Ye Ning and Sun Manning.

Sun Manning first greeted Xiao Han, then asked Li Heng, "Great Writer Li, your wife has come over; you're going to cook at noon today, right? Can Ye Ning and I come over for a free meal?"

Ye Ning listened and cheered silently, thinking to herself, *This little lady Manning's skin is truly thicker than a city wall. I wouldn't be able to say that; it seems I still have a lot to learn. *

Li Heng asked, "It's already this late, and you haven't eaten yet?"

Sun Manning said with a grin, "The school food isn't as delicious as what you make."

Li Heng looked at Xiao Han, not expecting Xiao Han to crisply take over the conversation: "My husband and I are going to eat at a restaurant outside the school. Manning, you guys come along too; it's livelier with more people."

"Go outside the school? Forget it then, we won't disturb you two lovebirds." Saying this, Sun Manning waved her hand and left nimbly.

Seeing this, Ye Ning also followed and slipped away.

Xiao Han watched the two women gradually moving away and pondered: Did they have a hand in the death of the ginkgo trees?

The reason Xiao Han suspected this was that Sun Manning had just given her an excellent reason for suspicion.

Knowing full well that she and Li Heng were a couple, and knowing full well that it wasn't easy for her and Li Heng to get together, Sun Manning still wanted to come over to the house to eat. What kind of intention this was went without saying; clearly, the other party was not a person who knew her place.

Xiao Han pondered: Perhaps Sun Manning hopes more that Mai Sui will marry Honey? Otherwise, the other party's words and actions don't make sense.

Of course, it couldn't be ruled out that Sun Manning had become mentally disabled after getting into university.

But could the other party be mentally disabled? Xiao Han suddenly felt that falling in love with a man who was too outstanding was really quite exhausting; with everyone eyeing him with wolfish ambition, she had become a public enemy without realizing it.

Walking out of the school gate and seeing his scheming wife taking him toward the Old Li Restaurant, Li Heng asked, "Are we really eating outside?"

Xiao Han said pitifully, "If we go home to cook now, wouldn't that be offending people?"

Li Heng said with a smile, "That's fine, if we eat outside, we eat outside. In the afternoon, we'll go back to the new home on Wukang Road, and I'll be the chef for my wife for dinner."

Xiao Han showed a sweet little dimple and said crisply, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

In a fit of anger, she had just had a quarrel with Yu Shuheng, and by the afternoon, she had even taken the person away.

Invisibly, she had won another round, and her mood immediately became excellent.

On the other side.

After running a distance forward, Ye Ning gave a thumbs up and said, "Sun Manning, you're amazing! You actually dared to stab Xiao Han. Just now I thought they were going to the vegetable market to buy groceries to cook at home. With you saying that, they probably really have no choice but to go to a restaurant."

Sun Manning twisted her mouth. "You think I wanted to? It wasn't for our Mai Sui? Think about it, if Li Heng and Xiao Han are billing and cooing at the No. 26 small building, whispering sweet nothings, and sleeping in the same bed at night, what would you have Mai Sui think?

Mai Sui might feel jealous and uncomfortable inside, but wouldn't be able to show it.

As her sister, I naturally have to help her out. Even if I can't stop the feelings between Li Heng and Xiao Han, at least out of sight, out of mind, right?"

Ye Ning said with a grin, "Okay, okay, quite okay! But having said that, you've said several times that you want Li Heng to sleep with you, so you can continue being sisters with Sui Sui. Honestly, are you speaking your true thoughts as a joke? Testing Li Heng's attitude?"

"Get lost! Get lost, you old lady! Get the hell out of here!"

Sun Manning was furious, so angry that she directly kicked him. "I've always treated him as a buddy; don't talk nonsense. If you make Mai Sui misunderstand, I'll tear your mouth apart."

Ye Ning, who was more than half a head taller, was kicked hard but didn't care. He bent down to pat the dust off his pant legs: "As long as you're joking, that's fine. Otherwise, I'd have to save money to help you buy a coffin in advance to collect your corpse. You don't even think about it—even my cousin, who is such a beautiful woman, didn't succeed in wanting to sleep with Li Heng. With your little look, could you succeed?"

Sun Manning puffed out her chest. "At least my chest is bigger than yours."

"What's the use of just being big? You don't have Shihe's flavor, you aren't as charming and moving as Mai Sui. In ancient times, you'd be the type to go to the imperial palace to be a wet nurse." Ye Ning struck at her.

"You airport, you dare to mock me?"
