Chapter 21: The Mysterious Woman

On the second day of the wedding, the groom was gone, looking at the empty house, Lin Muxue had a moment of distraction, if it weren't for the big red happy words on the wall, she almost thought that everything she experienced yesterday was just a dream.

It is said that there is no trace of spring dreams, so what about nightmares, will they disappear quickly like spring dreams? The bones under the skin are still telling the grievances of last night. The familiar room, the unfamiliar atmosphere, but it made her feel a little uneasy. She didn't know where the uneasiness in her heart came from, but she felt that this marriage seemed a little hasty.

The phone rang, it was Lin Mu calling, she took a deep breath, and then pressed the green button.

"Hey, Mom, I'm Mu Xue."

"Xiaoxue, have you eaten?"

"Oh, not yet, just going out to eat."

"What about Qin Lie? Why did I hear that there was something wrong with your voice, your voice was hoarse, was he bullying you? ”

Lin Muxue was surprised by her mother's sensitivity, but she also blamed herself for her poor cover-up, and she let her mother worry about it when she got married. She subconsciously took the phone a little farther away, changed her tone, and then replied, "How come?" We just got married, and even if he wants to bully me, he has to consider whether my dad and Uncle Ye will agree. Mom, I'm fine, I'm good. ”

"Really?"

"It's really good, it's just the second day of marriage, and the honeymoon period has just begun."

Lin Muxue was coquettish to her mother as usual, but this time she was a little deliberate.

"Then your throat ......"

"I probably didn't have a good rest last night, and then I got up late today and my throat hasn't recovered yet."

Before Lin Muxue finished speaking, Mother Lin let out a clear sigh, and then said with some embarrassment: "Mom knows, it's just Muxue, young people should also be more leisurely." Also, don't worry about having children, you are still young, and you will think about your children when the days are smooth. It's not that Mom doesn't like you and Qin Lie, it's just that the two of you don't get along for a long time, and you have to run in well after marriage. Okay, you can hurry up and have dinner with Qin Lie, and I will also accompany your father to talk to your Uncle Ye and Aunt Ye. Don't you know, your marriage not only hurt Ye Hao's heart, but also your Uncle Ye and Auntie's heart. ”

Like all mothers in the world, Mother Lin chattered for about five minutes before hanging up the phone. Looking at the mobile phone screen, Lin Muxue gently covered her mouth with her hand, and her eyes turned red.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, she thought it was Qin Lie who was back, and stood up from the sofa without thinking about it. When I opened the door, the hallway was empty.

Maybe it's a neighbor to the door.

Lin Muxue thought about it, closed the door, and a light breeze came in with her closing the door. When she turned around, she saw something. It was the petal of a fresh white chrysanthemum/flower, and it landed right next to Qin Lie's slippers. The dark brown slippers, lined with white petals, stand out.

It was clear that this petal of feverfew should not have appeared in his new home. Lin Muxue is not superstitious, but when she sees this white chrysanthemum, she still has a strange feeling in her heart.

Maybe it's the flowers that the neighbor just bought.

She thought about it, squatted down, carefully picked up the white chrysanthemum, and threw it into the trash. Watching the lid of the trash can slowly close, I felt that something was not quite right, so I simply took out the garbage bag entirely, tied the opening, and replaced it with a new one.

Outside the door, the footsteps reappeared, and seemed to stop outside the door of her house.

She listened sideways, and the owner of the footsteps did not take the next step, such as pulling out the key to open the door. There was no action to open the door, proving that it was not Qin Lie who was standing outside the door. Feeling a little disappointed, she put the trash bag behind the door, held her phone, and returned to the couch.

Although her wedding night was not pleasant, as a young wife, she did not want marriage to become a shackle that bound each other. She believed that Qin Lie's atrocities last night were not deliberately done by him. Perhaps, he is also guilty now. Perhaps, he left home because he didn't know how to face himself after waking up. She thought that she also had to give Qin Lie some time.

Lin Muxue couldn't bear it and didn't call Qin Lie, she ate some dried fruits casually, and sat on the sofa for several hours.

From dusk to night, she did not hear the door open. Looking at his phone, it was already half past eight in the evening, and Qin Lie hadn't come back yet.

She finally couldn't help it anymore and tapped the number with her finger.

The call was quickly answered, and she couldn't wait to call out his name: "Qin Lie!" ”

"I'm sorry, I'm not Qin Lie, but Qin Lie is by my side right now. If you need him to answer the phone, I can forward the call to him for you. However, with his current situation, I am afraid that he may not be able to talk to you. ”

"Who are you?"

Lin Muxue dialed Qin Lie's phone, but it was not Qin Lie who answered the phone, but a strange woman. The woman's voice was nice, like a radio host. Occasionally, there will be some snorts, but behind the words is an invisible provocation.

"I don't think I need to tell you who I am. Of course, if you are interested, you can ask Qin Lie, as for whether he is willing to tell you, it depends on your own ability. If I say so, Mrs. Qin, you shouldn't be angry, right? ”

"Who the hell are you?"

Lin Muxue felt that her whole body was trembling. In particular, the woman's unscrupulous laughter came from inside the microphone.

Who is she? Why did she hold Qin Lie's phone?

Is she Qin Lie's girlfriend, or a young lady in a special place?

Qin Lie...... Qin Lie, why did he appear next to that woman?

This series of doubts made Lin Muxue instantly clench her mobile phone, and her mind was chaotic.

"Who is it?"

Qin Lie's voice also came through the earpiece. His voice was a little indistinct, I don't know if it was because of the distance, or if he was drunk, or if it was ...... Lin Muxue didn't dare to speculate any further, let alone listen to the woman's answer, so she hurriedly hung up the phone.

In her life, it seems that she has never felt this way. The feeling of being helpless, not even knowing what to do.

The phone was placed on the coffee table, and she stared at it with her eyes. Maybe everything just now, she thought, was just a prank. Qin Lie is the attending doctor of the Department of Orthopedics, and he must have been temporarily called to the hospital by his colleagues to help.

Yes, it must be. Because I was going to have surgery, I left my phone at the nurse's station. There are many little nurses in the orthopedic department who like Qin Lie, and she knows this. It must be those little nurses who were jealous of her who took advantage of Qin Lie's absence to joke with her, the purpose was to make her angry and separate the relationship between her and Qin Lie, so as to take the opportunity to take Qin Lie away.

These are all very common plots in TV dramas, aren't they?

Lin Muxue tried her best to suppress her mood, took a deep breath, and took a deep breath again. After feeling a little calmer, I leaned over and took my phone. Qin Lie's mobile phone number was the first in line, and she bit her lip before she clicked it hard.

This time, she waited for a long time, until the second before she wanted to hang up the replay, and she was connected.

"Hey, Qin Lie, it's me Mu Xue."

"Mrs. Qin, I'm sorry, I still answered the phone. First of all, I didn't answer this call on purpose, but Qin Lie, who really has no way to answer your call. He fell asleep, and I put the phone to his ear, and he pushed it back.

That, if I'm not mistaken, you and Qin Lie got married yesterday, right?

Getting married is tiring, isn't it? You have to prepare for the wedding, you have to entertain the guests, and you have to take care of all the details. You see, it's not too early now, Qin Lie estimates that he won't be able to go back at night. Why don't you rest and wait until tomorrow? ”

"You...... Qin ......"

Lin Muxue didn't have time to ask the extra words, and the woman hung up the phone.

When you dial again, it says "The phone you dialed is turned off, please dial again later!" ”

The tears rolled down, Lin Muxue didn't know what went wrong, how good two people became, they just got married and became like this. She grabbed her hair and buried her head deeply.

Grievances, incomprehension, anger, doubts...... She couldn't tell how she felt now, she only knew that on the second night of the wedding, Qin Lie stayed with another woman, and she was left out in the cold.

If Qin Lie didn't like her, why did he pursue her, and even couldn't wait to propose to her.

If Qin Lie likes her, why should he hurt her on the wedding night, and even entangle with other women on the second day of the wedding and never return home at night.

Listening to the tone of that woman's voice, she and Qin Lie should have known each other for a long time. At least, they have known each other for a longer time than she and Qin Lie. If she likes Qin Lie, and Qin Lie also likes her, then why aren't they together?

Don't...... Could it be that Qin Lie didn't realize until the end of the wedding yesterday that he liked that woman, so he chose to go to her urgently today?

And what about her? What is she Lin Muxue? True love reminder card, or a proper spare tire?

In a panic, she called another person's number. That person, named Li Biao, was Qin Lie's good friend and colleague who had worked in the same office with him for many years. If Qin Lie really had someone he liked, Li Biao would definitely know.

"Hey, Dr. Lee? I'm Lin Muxue, can I ask you something? ”

"Mu Xue?" On the other end of the phone, Li Biao seemed to be a little surprised, but he still replied very boldly: "Is it about Qin Lie's kid?" Say, what do you want to know, but whatever your brother Li knows, tell you everything. ”

"Qin Lie, is there anyone you like?"
