Chapter 85 - 85: 82: As One Wave Subsides, Another Arises

Guiding the two children and carrying empty buckets, Liu Sisi had just stepped out of the old house when she saw the Land Officer leading several people sauntering towards the old house.

Liu Sisi hurriedly stepped forward to pay her respects.

“Is that you, Sisi? How’s your father faring?”

The Land Officer had tossed and turned all night. The thought that Elderly Mr. Di’s illness was somewhat caused by him made him feel a little guilty. Hence, early in the morning, he sent someone to check on Mr. Di. He was relieved to find out that Mr. Di had awakened. However, after having lunch, he heard about the incessant noise coming from here and rushed back.

“Thank you for your concern, Mr. Land Officer. My father has awakened. Sisi just brought him lunch. Now I’m planning to take the children to eat.”

Liu Sisi laughed lightly and gently stroked YingEr, who was hiding behind her and didn’t want to meet people.

Despite their timid expressions hidden behind her, their eyes were not deceptive.

“Well, it’s getting late. You should hurry home. I will go check on your father.”

After the Land Officer finished speaking, he bypassed the mother and children, leading several people towards the old house.

Remembering the chaos in the courtyard, Liu Sisi let out a cold laugh in her heart.

That’s fine!

It will allow Mr. Land Officer to see the chaos in the house!

“Let’s go, Xuan’er, YingEr, let’s go home and bathe.”

Once they arrived home, Liu Sisi heated water for the children’s bath and cleaned the house thoroughly.

While taking the dustpan to dispose of garbage, Liu Sisi heard a repressed call from nearby, “Sisi, Sisi, it’s me, Sisi!”

Lifting her head, Liu Sisi saw an unfamiliar man running quickly towards her.

“Stop right there! Who are you?”

Liu Sisi ordered.

No wonder she was nervous; even though she didn’t recognize the man, he was the same one who had climbed over the wall that day!

Knowing that she is a married woman, but still climbing over the wall and now even calling her by her nickname loudly, made Liu Sisi instinctively dislike this man.

Actually, the man was handsome and carried an air of elegant charm.

He wore a headband adorned with a sesame pattern, beneath his sword-like eyebrows were a pair of slender, charmingly bewitching peach blossom eyes, filled with affectionate emotions, which could easily captivate people.

At the moment, beneath his tall nose, his thin lips were spreading into a smile that was enticing to the soul.

However, when Liu Sisi suddenly ordered him to stop, he halted and looked at her, the smile on his face gradually disappearing.

“Sisi! Don’t you recognize me? I am Zhang Shixin!”

Looking at his anxious face, Liu Sisi instinctively countered, “Zhang Shixin? Do I know you?”

A grown man with peach blossom eyes, truly a demon!

An expression of sorrow washed over his face; he looked pained and anxious.

“Sisi, I am Zhang Shixin. Don’t you remember me? We promised to be together forever, never parting! It was your father who forcibly separated us, causing us, two lovers, to be forcibly placed apart! Sisi, I am Shixin!”

Zhang Shixin got more and more emotional!

Unable to contain himself, he reached out to Liu Sisi, wanting to get closer to her.

“Stop! Don’t come any closer! Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude!”

Liu Sisi pointed the dustpan in her hand at him!

At this point, she naturally understood who this man could be – Businessman Zhang, as everyone had been talking about, the one who wanted to marry her as his fourth or fifth concubine! The father of the child in her belly!

But what difference does that make?

The one he swore lifelong commitments to was not the current Liu Sisi!

Even though he was speaking so passionately, Liu Sisi had an instinctual unwillingness to believe him!

Liu Sisi did not let her guard down and glared at the man. “I don’t care who you are, I don’t know you. Get back from where you came from, and if I catch you here again, don’t blame me for being rude!”

When she finished speaking, she lifted the dustpan in her hand threateningly.

Zhang Shixin widened his eyes in surprise, his peach-like eyes full of heartache. He spoke in a pained voice, “Sisi… Are you blaming me for not visiting you all this time? I was wronged! All this time I had to go to the capital city for family business. Worse still, they took advantage of my absence and married you off! Sisi…”

In the midst of speaking, he suddenly reached out and grabbed the dustpan.

Liu Sisi was startled and instinctively turned to run, but he caught her waist firmly with his large hand.

“Let go! Let go, you ruffian! Let go!”

Struggling fiercely, Liu Sisi tried to shake off the pestering man.

“Sisi, don’t be like this, I really miss you! My Sisi!” His voice full of deep affection kept ringing in her ears, and his actions became more and more audacious, gradually wrapping Liu Sisi in his arms.

Behind her, where Liu Sisi couldn’t see, Zhang Shixin had a smug smile on his face!

“Let go!…”

As Liu Sisi struggled, she realized that she could not break free. In desperation, she steeled herself and stomped hard on his foot, then swiftly raised her arm, spun around, and landed an elbow strike backward on his temple.

At the same time, she dealt a series of heavy blows.

Her previous life’s “three techniques of hooligan defense” definitely were not learned in vain!

“Ah! –”

Zhang Shixin let out a cry of pain and instinctively released Liu Sisi, clutching his crotch.

Liu Sisi leaned backward, using the momentum to knee him in the gut.

“Hm…”

Unable to make a sound, Zhang Shixin clutched his crotch in agony, his eyes bloodshot.

Take advantage when he is vulnerable!

She would never give him another chance to hurt herself!

But the advantage of his height was too great. As soon as he let go of her, Liu Sisi lost the opportunity to attack him again.

“…Sisi, you’ve changed!… Where’s your understanding and gentle temperament? Sisi… you are so hard-hearted!”

Zhang Shixin’s face was completely distorted, his eyes shooting daggers at Liu Sisi.

Stars twinkled in his eyes, and the world spun around him. Struggling to hold himself up, he clutched his crotch, unable to believe that the woman in front of him was the once gentle and understanding Liu Sisi.

“I don’t know you! I don’t care who you are, harass me again, and I will castrate you, leaving you childless!”

After dropping this harsh threat, Liu Sisi grabbed the abandoned dustpan and quickly ran into the courtyard, closing the front door behind her, finally allowing herself to breathe a sigh of relief.

She seemed fierce just now, but only she knew about the unsettling feeling secretly stirring deep within her. The stirring was not initiated by her present self but originated from the deep-seated memories of the previous owner of her body.

Her body instinctively longed for his touch, yearned for his undivided attention, and hoped he would comfort her trembling heart.

Even though she knew full well that she hated and despised the man, when he lunged at her, she instinctively froze, which gave him the upper hand and allowed him to confine her in his embrace.

Damn it, could it be that the man just now really is the father of the child in her stomach?

Liu Sisi was damn annoyed!

Truthfully, troubles just kept on coming one after another!
