Chapter 898: Chapter 898: Strike with Heavy Punches

"Such a nice thing and you still can’t stay put?"

Yu Jingting sighed as he faced the bath towel.

The more he thought about it, the more stifled he felt. Throwing on some clothes at random, he decided to go out and see what was so attractive about the thing that lured his little lady away.

He cursed in a certain direction.

"What’s there to be excited about, didn’t you see the person has already run off?"

The murderous Yu Jingting had just stepped out the door when he saw Suizi and Jiaojiao standing under the tree in the Courtyard, whispering to each other like sneaky little cats.

"Jiaojiao!" Liu Meimei called out from her room, standing at the doorway.

Suizi grinned and patted Jiaojiao, beckoning her to go over.

After Jiaojiao left with Liu Meimei, Suizi returned to Yu Jingting, who had a dark expression on his face.

"You smell so nice," Suizi sniffed.

She’d used gardenia essential oil, homemade into soap, which smelled particularly good on him.

"Huh, I’m just about to roll in a mud pit." What was the point of washing so clean!

His wife had run off!

"Don’t, I have something to discuss with you," said Suizi, pretending not to notice his temper, and dragged him inside.

Yu Jingting folded his arms and wore an indifferent look on his face.

Hehe, no matter what she said, he wouldn’t cooperate.

"We’ve got two hours until dinner, and you’ve got two hours of free time."

"No, I’ve suddenly recalled I’m very busy. I’ve got to meditate, converse across the void with Plato, and explore the mysteries of Philosophy...?!"

As Suizi’s outer garment fell to the floor, Yu Jingting’s eyes popped.

His wife drifted up to him like a Goblin, her finger hooking his chin.

"Plato? I understand, see, the lips..." her lips approached his but swiftly retreated just before they touched.

"They shouldn’t touch, you see."

Yu Jingting’s eyes instantly filled with murderous intent.

Suizi thought to herself it was a good thing Plato died early, if he had been standing in front of him, he would’ve chewed the guy up. Jeez, men!

"Platonic love, that’s like embracing nothing but air with both hands, with thoughts as hazy as clouds and fog. Are you sure you want to talk about Plato with me?"

"Let’s talk Plato after I finish my work. Right now, we still need to implement the philosophical thoughts of our own Ancestors."

"Oh?"

"Our Ancestors said, after you’re warm and fed, you think about that thing, and now that I’m both, it’s time to spend two hours doing that thing with you."

The specialty of the Hot Spring Resort was a fatty duck hotpot; the ducks were raised on hot spring water, resulting in rich, tender meat with a unique sweetness unlike any found elsewhere, and the soup was particularly delicious.

Suizi had specifically ordered several pots to treat everyone, and even the picky eater Chen Lijun couldn’t resist having two bowls.

After dinner, Suizi took Chen Lijun for a stroll around the resort.

The area was lush with vegetation, filled with negative ions in the air, which were very beneficial for pregnant women.

"Why isn’t Jingting clinging to you anymore?" Chen Lijun was a bit surprised.

Yu Jingting had organized a few of the men to play mahjong.

Quite out of character.

"Jingting, he’s an independent man, how can he always hover around his wife?" Suizi said with intentional gravity.

In her mind, she added, she had fed him earlier to prevent idle talk, hadn’t she?

Those two hours she gave were not in vain; later, she would have to soak in the hot spring to relax...

"What’s the deal with Jiaojiao’s female classmate and Chen Lun?" Chen Lijun asked.

Suizi thought to herself that her mother truly lived up to her reputation as an iron lady leader, her ability to read people was spot on.

Chen Lijun’s attention wasn’t even focused on Chen Lun and Liu Meimei, just a casual glance and she noticed something unusual about the two of them.

"This thing... well..."

Suizi told Chen Lijun all about what was going on with Chen Lun and Liu Meimei, so much so that Chen Lijun’s pregnant belly stood out.

"What?! Is this even acceptable?! I have to talk to his mother about this!"

"What are you talking about? His mother has known all along. She’s not ashamed; in fact, she’s proud, boasting everywhere about her son’s charm."

"??? Isn’t this just absurd? The girl is pregnant now? They’re just dragging this on? She isn’t even of marriageable age..."

Chen Lijun felt her head was about to explode just thinking about it, how could she have such unreliable relatives?

"What are you thinking? Look at them, do they look like they can marry?"

Chen Lun’s parents probably thought they had a throne to inherit, looking down on any girl who married into their family, let alone someone like Liu Meimei who was pregnant before marriage. They saw her only as a topic of conversation to brag about their son’s "assets", resolutely refusing to let the girl enter their family.

"Lucky for your dad he doesn’t know, he’d be furious if he did."

Chen Lijun knew her husband’s sense of morality all too well. If it hadn’t been for Fan Huang losing his mind due to illness, she wouldn’t have succeeded, and there wouldn’t be Suizi, such an outstanding child.

"Quick, keep Jiaojiao away from that girl, don’t let her pick up any bad habits."

"Jiaojiao knows what she’s doing. From what I’ve seen, the other two girls she’s brought along are fine."

Suizi’s intent for this visit wasn’t just to exercise Jiaojiao’s problem-solving skills but also to be a little cunning.

She deliberately asked Jiaojiao for a few tickets, which would reveal the kids who were close to Jiaojiao on a regular basis. After the incident with Liu Meimei, it was essential for Suizi to screen the company her sister-in-law kept.

Fortunately, apart from Liu Meimei not being normal, the other two children were good kids. Their family conditions varied, but their temperaments were quite decent.

"Jiaojiao has been training with you for so long, how can she still hang out with such an improper girl?" Chen Lijun found it hard not to be prejudiced.

"Who knows whether friends are genuine or fake until something happens? Liu Meimei only started acting out this semester. Jiaojiao has known her for over two years as a normal kid. I suspect she might have been triggered by something."

Suizi felt sympathy for Liu Meimei’s situation but did not forgive her for what she did to Jiaojiao.

In Jiaojiao’s words, Liu Meimei also started acting abnormally this semester, most likely influenced by her dysfunctional family, leading her to imitate Jiaojiao and even get involved with Chen Lun.

"The other kids around Jiaojiao are normal, which indicates that the issue doesn’t lie with Jiaojiao. We can’t dismiss the whole because of one exception. It’s not like when you’re bitten by a dog with a sudden case of rabies, you can blame yourself for not having the ability to predict the future, right?"

"Fine, you’ve got a retort ready for everything I say—but wait, you knew those two kids were trouble, and you still arranged for them to be in the same room?! What are you trying to do?!"

Chen Lijun finally seemed to catch on.

Suizi blinked.

"Mom, does the baby keep kicking you at night? You’re going to bed late, aren’t you?"

Those who go to bed late have a show to watch.

It might just be an eye-watering show.

Feeding Yu Jingting ahead of time wasn’t without reason.

Yu Jingting led a group of men to play cards until midnight.

It was a game of mere cents, just for the fun of it.

Using his superior card-playing skills—or perhaps card-cheating skills—Four Eyes took the lead, winning against the three others.

"My wife has ordered a late-night barbecue. The chef’s gonna prepare it especially for us. It should be ready by now—cousin, call your son out too, let him join us. He’s a big boy now, he can have a drink."

Yu Jingting said to Chen Lun’s father.

Chen Lun’s father, having been called upon, nodded repeatedly, but upon returning to the room, found his wife already fast asleep. Their suite included a main bedroom for him and his wife and an adjoining secondary bedroom for Chen Lun.

Chen Lun’s father went to push the door open, but the room was empty.

Where could his son have gone this late at night?

As Chen Lun’s father pondered, he heard an exaggerated shout from outside:

"Ah! Chen Lun! Why are you in Liu Meimei’s room—ah, Liu Meimei, why aren’t you dressed?!"
