Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 889: Chapter 890: Big Trouble

Cheng Su had a nightmare, dreaming of Qi Taiguo covered in blood, smiling at her. His smile was so affectionate and admiring, it was captivating. If not for the blood all over him, she would have been overjoyed.

Cheng Su’s face was slightly pale. She got out of bed, but instead of going to school, she made a trip to Ling Shan Temple and requested a lottery stick.

Survive in adversity, the clouds disperse and the moon appears.

What does this mean?

Cheng Su didn’t understand, and asked the master who interpreted the lottery stick. He only said it was a peace charm, a very auspicious one.

Hearing it was very auspicious, Cheng Su felt at ease, donated some oil money, and also requested a peace charm before heading home.

Looking at the peace charm in her hand, Cheng Su chuckled, never imagining that she would have to pin her hopes on the gods and Buddha. This was something she would never do in the 21st century.

People really do change!

After getting off the bus, Cheng Su bought some fruit at the fruit stall. Today was the day of Guiying’s son Cancan’s full month celebration. They didn’t have much money and didn’t plan a big celebration—just invited the neighbors for a meal as a kind of gathering.

Cheng Su had already prepared a red envelope. For someone like Guiying and Dahe, who didn’t have much, money was the most practical gift.

But one can’t go to a feast empty-handed, so she had to buy a few things. After picking apples and other fruits, weighing them, and paying, Cheng Su turned to head home.

But Cheng Su stopped in her tracks as she saw Chen Shouwang anxiously pushing a woman onto a bus at the bus stop.

Cheng Su froze, watching the bus carry the two away, and couldn’t help but frown.

Chen Shouwang was indeed very flustered; he didn’t expect Liu Li to find him, make her way to the military unit.

He thought of the sentry’s strange look, and how he had to awkwardly explain that Liu Li was his cousin, causing his face to burn with embarrassment and panic.

Taking Liu Li to a dessert shop, Chen Shouwang’s face remained dark throughout.

Liu Li looked at him with trepidation.

"Am I causing you trouble?" Liu Li asked timidly, looking at him.

Seeing this, Chen Shouwang softened a bit, but remembering the earlier scene, he said sternly, "How did you find your way here? Don’t you know this is a military zone? What if someone sees? What would they think?"

Liu Li quickly said, "I said I was your sister."

Chen Shouwang pressed his lips together and said, "Even so, you shouldn’t have come. Didn’t I say I would come to find you?"

Liu Li’s eyes dimmed, and she lowered her head, saying, "You haven’t come for a month. I couldn’t find you."

Chen Shouwang choked, feeling slightly uneasy.

Ever since Hualing softened toward him, the two were as close as newlyweds, as if they had just gotten married. Hualing sweetly coquetted him and was utterly compliant, their relationship was more loving than ever.

So, Chen Shouwang had almost forgotten about Liu Li. After all, she was merely a consolation during his marital dissatisfaction. Now that Hualing and he were reconciled, how could he think of Liu Li?

"You said you would divorce her. When exactly is that?" Liu Li, seeing him silent, bit her lip and asked.

Chen Shouwang’s heart skipped a beat. He stammered, "I’m discussing it. You know, I’m in the military. Divorce isn’t that simple."

Liu Li’s eyes reddened, "But I can’t wait any longer." She bit her lip, her face flushed as she lowered her head, stroked her belly, and said, "Brother Shouwang, I, I’m pregnant."

Chen Shouwang listened, spraying out a mouthful of water, stared at her dumbfoundedly. This was big trouble!
