Chapter 338 The Cold War
Moreover, in all these years of marriage, apart from the days when they were apart, the couple has never slept in separate beds.
Qin Yunzhou frowned more and more as he thought about it. To be honest, he couldn't accept it.
Just as he was thinking of going out to talk to Xu Sui and get to the bottom of things.
However, the next second he thought of something and returned to the dressing table. In front of the mirror, he first applied medicine to the injuries on his face.
Although a man's appearance is not important to him.
However, every time they were in bed, Qin Yunzhou noticed that Xu Sui always liked to look at his face and would kiss his cheek from time to time.
This shows that his wife is someone who cares about appearances, so his face absolutely cannot be disfigured.
After applying the medicine to his face, Qin Yunzhou came out of the house.
He had only been out for a short while when he saw Xu Sui helping her two children with their homework in the living room.
"Dad, Dad, what happened to your face? Did someone hit you?" The two children panicked the moment they saw the injury on Qin Yunzhou's face.
Forgetting all about her homework, she got up and ran to Qin Yunzhou's side, hugging his leg and looking at the injuries on his face with eyes full of heartache and worry.
Listening to the children's innocent words, Qin Yunzhou's expression softened a little. He reached out and patted the two children's heads, then glanced at the homework on the table.
Basically, there's nothing wrong with it; everything is correct. He's much smarter than my brother-in-law back then, and he doesn't need any instruction from adults at all.
Qin Yunzhou secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay, no one bullied Dad."
"Alright, you all go do your homework. Dad has something to tell Mom."
Yao Yao's face tightened as she looked at the injuries on Qin Yunzhou's face. She shook her head and said, "No, Daddy is lying. Daddy was clearly beaten."
"My brother and I may be young, but we're not stupid at all."
"Dad, tell my brother and me quickly, we'll go and get revenge for you."
Yan Yan, who was usually quiet, nodded. "My sister is right, Dad. Don't try to hide it from us. The injuries on your face are obviously from being beaten."
"Neither my sister nor I are stupid."
"Tell me quickly, who bullied you? My sister and I will get revenge for you."
On the contrary, the usually clever father was a bit silly this time, actually using such a low-level lie to deceive his two children.
Seeing the two children looking at him like he was an idiot, Qin Yunzhou was speechless.
To be honest, this was the first time someone had ever looked at him like that.
Xu Sui couldn't help but smile.
Qin Yunzhou suddenly heard Xu Sui's incredibly loud laughter, and he turned his head to look at her.
Xu Sui immediately stopped laughing. She covered her mouth with both hands and blinked innocently.
Qin Yunzhou: "..."
Don't think he didn't see it; this person is laughing at him.
The two children, one on each side, clung to Qin Yunzhou's lap, asking incessantly, "Daddy, Daddy, who bullied you? Tell us, tell us, tell us and we'll go and get revenge for you."
In their eyes, their father has always been omnipotent; he is very capable and intelligent.
But this time, Dad seemed a bit silly; even his lies were so easily exposed by the children.
It seems Dad is getting old.
They heard from their great-grandmother that some people become stupid as they get older.
Dad must be like that too.
Qin Yunzhou shook his head helplessly, "No, no one bullied Dad."
This time, he didn't lose out to Gu Shu; in fact, he got a good venting of his anger.
Gu Shu had more injuries than him; in terms of bullying, it should be him bullying Gu Shu.
Qin Yunzhou spent a long time explaining before finally managing to calm the two children down.
After soothing the child, you still have to soothe your wife.
He didn't want to sleep alone at night.
However, children are easy to coax, but wives are not. Xu Sui completely ignored him, as she had long been determined to teach Qin Yunzhou a lesson.
No matter how much the other person tries to coax him, he can't be appeased.
This was the first time the couple had argued since they got married.
When Grandma Qin returned home, she noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere at home.
……
the other side.
Gu Shu left the family compound in a daze. He walked to a deserted corner and sat alone for a long time.
Finally, I went to the main gate of the military base to check the entry and exit records for the day.
Lu Xiaoya's name was indeed on it, and the people guarding the gate said that she was carrying a bundle and was in a hurry, as if she was on her way.
Upon hearing the news, Gu Shu rushed back to the family compound, returned home, and searched through all the drawers and cabinets.
He discovered that some of the money in his house was missing, as were some tickets, which he usually kept at home for household expenses.
They even left him some money, but took most of the grain coupons and meat coupons.
Gu Shu understood everything now. The person had run away, drugged him, plotted against him, and then disappeared.
Thinking of this, his anger surged again, his face darkened, and his aura became extremely tense. He couldn't help but sneer, gritting his teeth as he said:
"They really know how to run!"
He never knew Lu Xiaoya was so cunning.
I was wrong after all.
Gu Shu didn't waste a moment. He had just taken a few days off, so he quickly drove the military jeep to the train station.
He wanted to see where Lu Xiaoya could run to.
In this world, no one has ever dared to scheme against him and then walk away unscathed.
On the other side of the train.
The train to Beijing is not direct; it requires several transfers.
After a long train journey, we have arrived in the provincial capital.
Throughout the journey, the old woman took meticulous care of Lu Xiaoya, and Lu Xiaoya treated the old woman like family, confiding her grievances to her and even sobbing in her arms.
"Auntie, Auntie, we've been married for so long, but he still doesn't like me. What should I do? His heart is always set on other women; there's no place for me at all..."
"The woman in his heart is prettier than me, more educated than me, more capable than me, better than me in every way, and they are childhood sweethearts who grew up together and were once engaged."
"Will he only ever have that one person in his heart, and never me? Auntie, what should I do? I can't let go, I really can't let go..."
What she found most unacceptable was...
After so many years of marriage, they had only just consummated their marriage, but Gu Shu kept calling out Xu Sui's name.
The old woman held Lu Xiaoya in her arms and gently comforted her. She then picked up a water glass and held it to Lu Xiaoya's lips. "Alright, alright, don't think too much. If you feel really wronged, you can cry in my arms."
"Your aunt has been through this, and she understands what it's been like for you. You're such a good girl, it's just that your man doesn't know how to cherish you."
"How about this, my home is in the provincial capital, why don't you go to my aunt's house for a while, just to relax."
