Shen Luo’an nodded and returned to his room with the infant tucked in his arms.
Ye Qianqian went back to her room.
She thought she would fall asleep the second she lay down on the bed.
She never expected to feel reinvigorated instead.
Thoughts of Shen Manting and Shen Luo’an raced through her mind.
Shen Zhilie said that she was dead. But although Shen Luo’an appeared downcast sometimes, he didn’t seem devastated over her death, nor did he mourn her.
She felt it improper to have such thoughts, yet no matter how she looked at the matter, she doubted that Shen Manting was dead.
She thought the matter over and reached for her phone.
She didn’t have Shen Manting’s contact on WeChat.
But she thought of someone sure to have it.
[Xi Xi Xi]: Are you there, Youyou?
Ye Youyou seemed to be quite free. She immediately replied: Yes I am.
[Xi Xi Xi]: Do you have Shen Manting’s WeChat contact?
Youyou: No!
Youyou : Do you think we would have each other’s contact, judging from how our relationship went in the past?
Ye Qianqian thought that made sense.
[Xi Xi Xi]: Do you know who has it then?
[Youyou]: Shen Zhilie, Shen Luo’an, and your parents-in-law.
Ye Qianqian rose to her feet and made a call to Shen Zhilie immediately.
Shen Zhilie was bragging to his group of buddies. He was eagerly showing off his wedding ring to them, basking in the feeling of social superiority afforded to him by his present status as a newly married man.
Suddenly, he heard his phone ring and noticed his wife calling. He picked up his phone with a smug look on his face. He gestured with his hand and announced with a mock sigh, “My wife is calling. She’s so clingy, but it can’t be helped!”
His friends instantly reacted with a dismissive wave of the hand.
Shen Zhilie shook his head and sighed, “You’re all jealous of me. Don’t you know that jealousy manifests in one’s appearance and makes people ugly? You should look at yourselves in the mirror.”
He then answered the phone unabashedly. “What’s the matter, honey?”
“Do you have Shen Manting’s WeChat contact?” Ye Qianqian went straight to the point.
Shen Zhilie paused and fell silent for a while. “Why did it suddenly occur to you to contact her?”
“Both you and Big Brother told me earlier that she’s dead. But Big Brother’s actions tell me otherwise. I’m trying to find her.”
Shen Zhilie frowned and asked, “What are you trying to do, honey?”
“Big Brother seems to be in an unpleasant mood lately. He drifts into a daze and looks depressed every day. Furthermore, the baby needs his mother. If Shen Manting is still alive, let’s find her and bring her back. The baby should belong to a complete family, after all.”
Shen Zhilie’s expression turned solemn. He mulled over it and replied, “All right, I’ll check.”
He hung up and browsed through his WeChat contacts.
Luo Ran and the others turned to look at him and asked, “What’s the matter?”
“It’s nothing. I have something to settle, so I’ll excuse myself first. Enjoy yourselves.”
His buddies jeered. “See how different a married man is from the rest of us! He has to rush home after taking his wife’s call, unlike us poor bachelors!”
Shen Zhilie felt even smugger. “Just wait, you ugly people,” he smirked in jest.
He picked up his car keys and walked out.
As he browsed through his WeChat contacts, he realized that he did have Shen Manting’s contact.
However, when he tried to send her a message, his request was rejected.
She had clearly blocked him.
He navigated to her friends list, but nothing turned up.
Shen Zhilie entered his room as soon as he reached home.
He thought Ye Qianqian was still fussing over Shen Manting’s whereabouts. But he went in to find her fast asleep.
