Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Yao Xueqin and Wang Erhai agreed to go rafting this weekend, then went to the supermarket and casually bought a few dishes, and went to Liu Meiqi's house.

"Mei Qi, I'm afraid I can't keep you company this weekend."

Yao Xueqin had just returned, and before she could even put down the dishes she was carrying, she said this to Liu Meiqi.

"What's wrong?"

Liu Meiqi hurriedly asked.

Yao Xueqin looked dejected and said:

"I have to work overtime. Zhang Sheng wants me to go out of town to receive a very important client."

Liu Meiqi questioned:

"Aren't you in real estate sales? How come you have to go out of town to receive a client?"

Yao Xueqin said indignantly:

"As I see it, that bastard Zhang Sheng is purely doing this to retaliate against me. Didn't I skip work today? He didn't scold me, nor did he say he'd deduct my salary, but he just arranged this business trip for me!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Meiqi couldn't help but feel guilty:

"Xueqin, you've sacrificed too much for me."

Then she hurriedly said:

"How about I call Zhang Sheng and plead with him? Maybe then he won't make you go out of town to receive the client."

Yao Xueqin hurriedly stopped her:

"You mustn't do that. You know what kind of person Zhang Sheng is. If you go plead with him, he'll agree to your face, but turn around and he'll probably retaliate against me even harder!"

"That's true..." Liu Meiqi sighed.

At this moment, Yao Xueqin said:

"Actually, this isn't necessarily a bad thing. Just treat it as a trip. It's just hard on you, Mei Qi, being home alone. I'm a bit worried. How about I call Wang Erhai and have him come over to take care of you this weekend? No matter what, you haven't divorced yet, so he has the obligation to take care of you."

Yao Xueqin's words were so considerate, whoever heard them wouldn't be moved.

Liu Meiqi was deeply touched, yet hurriedly stopped her:

"Don't call him. I don't want him to take care of me. I refuse to appear pitiful and helpless in front of him."

"Then what will you do alone?" Yao Xueqin continued to ask with concern.

"I have hands and feet, I can take care of myself just fine." Liu Meiqi said this, and she also said: "My body has pretty much recovered. You don't need to worry about me. Go on your business trip with peace of mind."

This was exactly the sentence Yao Xueqin had been waiting for. She was secretly delighted inside, but her face still showed worry:

"But I really can't put my mind at ease about you, Mei Qi."

"It's fine, it's fine. I really can take care of myself. I'm not as fragile as you imagine!" Liu Meiqi forced a smile, pretending to be strong.

"Alright then. You must take good care of yourself. Wait for me to return from my trip!"

In the blink of an eye, it was Friday.

That evening, Wang Erhai had just gotten off work when he received a call from Yao Xueqin:

"General Manager Wang, how about we go to Huangteng Gorge for tomorrow's rafting?"

"Sure, no problem." Wang Erhai smiled, filled with anticipation.

In his view, Yao Xueqin was a beam of light that suddenly shone into his broken marriage, so he didn't reject developing things further with Yao Xueqin.

He also said:

"I'll go buy tickets online right now. I'll drive over to pick you up tomorrow morning."

Yao Xueqin said:

"Sounds good. I'll wait for you. Eight o'clock tomorrow morning, come over."

"Okay!"

After the brief conversation, Yao Xueqin said she had other things to attend to and took the initiative to hang up.

She didn't show excessive enthusiasm toward Wang Erhai. She was very restrained because she knew she had to wait for the day Wang Erhai took the initiative to pursue her. If she made the first move, it would be impossible to manipulate Wang Erhai.

Only if Wang Erhai pursued her could she occupy the dominant position.

Additionally, she couldn't let Wang Erhai get her body too easily.

She felt that the reason Liu Meiqi and Wang Erhai's marriage failed was because Liu Meiqi and Wang Erhai hadn't known each other long before they lightly went to bed together.

Men are all like this. What they get easily, they never cherish.

On Wang Erhai's side, after hanging up, his heart was full of anticipation.

He felt life had something to look forward to again.

It seemed the darkness was about to end, and a glimmer of light appeared in the east before dawn.

As long as the darkness didn't continue, there was still the courage to go on living.

Just as he was fantasizing about his future with Yao Xueqin, his mobile phone rang again.

He picked it up and looked. It wasn't Liu Meiqi calling, but his mother Li Xiulan.

He let out a breath of relief.

Then he felt ridiculous. He had clearly blocked all of Liu Meiqi's contact information, yet he still had a conditioned reflex fear of her calls!

One can only say this marriage brought him harm that was truly too great.

"Hello, Mom, what's up?"

Wang Erhai answered his mother's phone call.

"Erhai, do you and Mei Qi have time this weekend?"

Li Xiulan asked this one sentence.

She still didn't know her own second son was currently in the middle of a divorce dispute with Liu Meiqi.

Not only did she not know, Wang Zhanggen didn't know either.

"Cough cough, we're both pretty busy, Mom, if you have something to say, just say it directly."

Wang Erhai was clearly somewhat guilty.

Mainly because he didn't know how to explain the matter between him and Liu Meiqi to his parents.

Could he just directly tell them he was divorcing Liu Meiqi, and that Liu Meiqi had gone to the hospital to abort the child the two elders had been longing for?

"Actually it's nothing much, just your dad had a dream, saw in the dream that the child in Mei Qi's belly is a boy, he was still crying and running toward your dad, nonstop calling Grandpa, your dad worried something would happen to Mei Qi's belly, so he went to find Wu Banxian to interpret the dream, Wu Banxian said this is an ominous sign, a monster is chasing to kill the child, need you and Mei Qi to come back and worship the ancestors in the ancestral hall, invite the gods to protect, only then can you pass through the crisis."

Hearing this, Wang Erhai's heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

Although these are all baseless superstitious metaphysics.

But some things, it seems heaven keeps its eyes open watching everything, then sends down a few hints to the mortal world.

Whether there's a monster chasing to kill the child in Liu Meiqi's belly, Wang Erhai doesn't know, but he can be very certain this child is already gone, and it was even him personally accompanying Liu Meiqi to abort it.

"Mom, Mei Qi and I are both very busy, can't you and Dad go help worship instead?" Wang Erhai guiltily spoke this one lie.

"If you can come back, that's naturally best to come back a trip, worshipping gods requires personally going to worship to show efficacy, letting us go replace you to worship, the old ancestors would probably feel you lack sincerity, if you're too busy during the day, just squeeze out time to come back in the evening, anyway County Town distance to Hometown isn't very far, come back stay one night, next day early morning finish incense, then immediately drive back to County Town, also won't affect you going to work."

Li Xiulan had already spoken to this extent, Wang Erhai truly didn't know how to refuse.

Could only brace himself and say:

"Then alright, then this Sunday, I'll see if I can squeeze out time to go back a trip."

Why Sunday not Saturday, that's because he had already agreed with Yao Xueqin, this Saturday going to play rafting, tickets already bought.

Additionally, he didn't say he and Liu Meiqi together go home, he only said himself.

Li Xiulan heard, yet mistakenly thought Wang Erhai would come back together with Liu Meiqi.

Happily laughed:

"Then alright, then when the time comes I'll kill a big rooster for you!"

Then also said:

"You don't know, your dad dreamed the one in Mei Qi's belly is a boy, don't know how happy, everywhere telling people, he's going to hold a grandson!"

Wang Erhai hearing this, only had a face full of bitter smiles:

"What's there to show off about..."

Li Xiulan laughed:

"I also feel there's nothing to show off about, but you also know, your dad is just this virtue, has a bit of good thing, can't hide it, just loves to show off, a lifetime, can't change this rotten nature!"
