After Divorce: Why My Aloof Ex Starts Chasing Me?-Chapter 106 Jealousy Drives One Mad
Chapter 106: Chapter 106 Jealousy Drives One Mad
Madam Jiang didn’t know when her son would finish his mission, so she stopped calling the Northwest Base.
Jiang Zhixun, on the other hand, was afraid of hearing news about Shen Qingqing dating someone and didn’t call home.
But he couldn’t stop worrying about Shen Qingqing’s condition, so after much thought, he decided to ask Shi Yu for clarity.
They had many opportunities to meet, and Shi Yu surely knew about Shen Qingqing’s current state.
He was only asking about Shen Qingqing’s health condition.
As for anything else, he wouldn’t listen.
Nor would he give Shi Yu a chance to speak about it.
Chen Shaojie was speechless, "We’re getting married tomorrow, can you let her rest well?"
"I’ll leave right after I ask."
It was almost dark, and Chen Shaojie pressed against his temples.
"Ask whatever you want tomorrow."
Jiang Zhixun’s dark eyes were fixed on him, leaving no room for negotiation.
"She’s already asleep by now."
Chen Shaojie was worried that his wife would be affected emotionally, delaying matters for the wedding the next day.
Jiang Zhixun pursed his lips, "If Miss Shi cooperates, it can be clarified in five minutes at most."
"And then what? You’re not able to go to Miss Shen’s side, and tomorrow we’re getting married. She might call my wife, and you can listen to Miss Shen’s voice yourself. If we’re lucky, you might even talk to her. Isn’t that good?"
Jiang Zhixun’s eyelashes fluttered, concealing the emotions in his eyes.
But Chen Shaojie knew he was wavering.
Talking to Shen Qingqing was indeed a huge temptation for Jiang Zhixun.
He hadn’t heard Shen Qingqing’s voice for almost half a year.
He was afraid Shen Qingqing would forget him.
"These two things don’t conflict."
As Chen Shaojie was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he heard Jiang Zhixun say that.
"I really admire you, always contradicting. Were you a stubborn mule in a past life?"
Jiang Zhixun’s tone was sincere, "I’m very worried about Qingqing. It’s a psychological illness, not ordinary trauma."
Chen Shaojie softened at the empathy.
He immediately softened up.
"Fine, just watch what you say. If my wife doesn’t want to answer, don’t push her. We have a wedding tomorrow, don’t ruin it."
"Mhm."
Marriage was a major event for a lifetime, Shi Yu was too excited to sleep.
She took out the red dress and draped it over herself, looking continuously at the small mirror on the table.
When in Beijing, Shen Qingqing accompanied her to the mall to buy it.
The style was simple and elegant with soft and comfortable fabric.
Although the color was a bit vivid, it was good to wear on formal occasions.
Looking in the mirror, Shi Yu’s smile didn’t fade. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
She thought about having someone take a couple of photos during the vows.
One to keep as a souvenir.
One to send to Shen Qingqing.
After all, she was their matchmaker; if situation permitted, she should attend the wedding and enjoy a table all by herself!
Aside from the photos, send her a packet of wedding candies, hoping she would catch some of the happiness and make progress with Doctor Zhou soon.
Shen Qingqing was sick, with no close person around, and Doctor Zhou was gentle and caring, Shi Yu felt with such a man beside her, Shen Qingqing would feel at ease and should recover.
She looked in the mirror for a while, just about to lie down to rest to ensure good spirits the next day, when suddenly there was a knock on the door from outside.
"Honey, it’s me."
At this time, Chen Shaojie should be in the dormitory.
Afraid he had urgent matters, Shi Yu hurried to open the door.
"Why are you here?"
When the door was fully open, seeing the person standing outside, Shi Yu’s expression fell.
"What’s the meaning of this?"
Chen Shaojie didn’t seem to catch her dissatisfaction and joked around.
"Recently Old Jiang was away on a mission and had no chance to call Beijing. I heard Miss Shen was sick, so..."
"She’s not my wife, nor do I follow her every day. Besides, I don’t have the habit of prying into others’ privacy. If you want to know about her, ask her yourself."
Shi Yu looked at Jiang Zhixun with disdain in her eyes.
Qingqing fell ill, he knew nothing about it, proving how indifferent he was towards Shen Qingqing.
Now pretending to inquire, it was indeed hypocritical.
"Even if you find out, what can you do? Can you go back and be with Shen Qingqing?"
Jiang Zhixun knew that psychological illnesses weren’t easily cured; this was a prolonged battle.
And he had tasks that couldn’t be abandoned at this point.
His Adam’s apple rolled, suppressing the bitterness surging in him.
"I just want to know if she’s okay."
Shi Yu snorted, "Now, no one is upsetting her, nor deliberately ignoring her, she’s very well."
Shen Qingqing lost a lot of memories, which Shi Yu didn’t want to tell Jiang Zhixun.
The longer he remained in the dark, the more shattered he would become upon learning the truth.
Shi Yu imagined Jiang Zhixun’s devastated look and felt a burst of joy.
The root of pain, forgotten is well.
Anyway, Qingqing could take care of herself; her intelligence and emotional quotient weren’t impacted.
She just lost some memories.
She was living well, and that was enough.
Shi Yu exhaled, "You’ve asked, now leave."
What she said didn’t make a difference.
It wasn’t the answer Jiang Zhixun wanted.
"Does she still get dizzy or have headaches, does she still suffer from insomnia at night, did she go out, how’s her mental state?"
Jiang Zhixun asked several questions in a row.
Shi Yu glanced at him with a hint of pity.
This person indeed knew nothing.
Jiang Zhixun’s expression was genuine; he truly worried about Shen Qingqing.
Shi Yu didn’t feel soft-hearted.
With arms crossed, she spoke smugly, "Doctor Zhou is taking good care of Qingqing. Whenever he has a break, he takes Qingqing to the hospital, hikes with her, takes her to the park. I think Qingqing’s status is quite good; she should be recuperating."
Jiang Zhixun’s gaze dimmed.
He didn’t know whether to be happy, given Shen Qingqing’s improving condition.
But another man was appearing beside her, taking care of her, accompanying her in treatment...
Jiang Zhixun was crazy with jealousy.
These were things he should’ve been doing; the one to accompany Shen Qingqing should be him.
"Shen Qingqing is not that kind of person."
How long since they divorced?
She wouldn’t accept another man so quickly.
This lifetime, Shen Qingqing only liked him. When people from the compound introduced her to others, she didn’t take to any of them.
Shen Qingqing was nostalgic, even keeping her old notebooks from school.
She liked him for so many years, it wasn’t possible to suddenly let go, nor accept another man’s pursuit!
Jiang Zhixun clenched his hand, restraining the emotions surging within him.
In a bitter voice, he said, "Miss Shi, please call her often."
Shi Yu was seen as a friend by her, knowing someone was thinking of her would surely make Shen Qingqing happy.
His mind was somewhat chaotic, Jiang Zhixun was uncertain about what to do next.
Not wanting to say too much, fearing spoiling Chen Shaojie’s wedding, he turned to walk out without a word.
Chen Shaojie glanced at his wife, then at the retreating Jiang Zhixun.
"What does he mean?"
Shi Yu snorted, "Playing pitiful, as if Qingqing can see it!"
