After Divorce: Why My Aloof Ex Starts Chasing Me?-Chapter 212: Stop Mentioning Him

Shen Qingqing and Jiang Zhixun left the scene, and Mother Zhou didn’t bother scolding her husband and daughter and went off to find them without a second thought.

Father Zhou sighed, "What are you doing? She’s not our daughter-in-law."

Mother Zhou replied, "Mind your own business."

Father Zhou said, "Aren’t you just being annoying?"

Mother Zhou retorted, "I don’t need her to like me anyway."

"Then why are you picking a fight with her?"

"I just can’t stand her being so fickle!"

Father Zhou had a headache, but couldn’t persuade her otherwise, secretly regretting not pretending not to see Shen Qingqing and Jiang Zhixun earlier.

If they hadn’t said hello, maybe there wouldn’t be so much trouble.

Mother Zhou scanned the area and finally spotted Shen Qingqing.

They took a secluded path, surrounded by obstacles. If it weren’t for her conspicuous red scarf, it would have been hard to spot her at a glance.

"Let’s take the small path too!" Mother Zhou suggested.

Father Zhou: "..."

Anyone who didn’t know better might think Shen Qingqing was their daughter-in-law, being tailed...

Unable to shake off the Zhou family, Shen Qingqing’s expression remained calm, but she was feeling quite frustrated inside.

Logically, since Mother Zhou dislikes her so much, she should just ignore her.

Why can’t she just let go?

Does she really dislike her so much that she can’t ignore her existence?

Jiang Zhixun glanced back, a hint of displeasure in his eyes.

Qingqing and Zhou Hansheng broke up a long time ago, and now she is his wife. Is the Zhou family trying to interfere again?

Even though he didn’t show it, Shen Qingqing picked up on Jiang Zhixun’s mood.

Sighing, she said, "It’s all your fault; you didn’t pick a good day to go out."

Jiang Zhixun agreed it was his fault and immediately responded, "It’s my bad, we should have sped up to lose them."

Shen Qingqing: "I can’t walk fast."

They were out to relax, not to train their physical endurance. If they went too fast, Shen Qingqing couldn’t imagine how sore her legs would be the next day.

Jiang Zhixun: "I’ll carry you."

Even though they didn’t plan to do much, being watched made them uncomfortable.

Shen Qingqing glanced back and simply stopped walking, "Let’s just find a flat place here and set up the drawing board."

They were far from the middle of the mountain, but Shen Qingqing had lost the interest to climb further.

Jiang Zhixun snorted, "Zhou Hansheng is really unreliable; he didn’t even explain things to his family clearly."

Shen Qingqing was speechless, the intent of his remark was too obvious.

"What does this have to do with Zhou Hansheng?"

The man narrowed his eyes sharply, "Shen Qingqing, are you defending him?"

"I’m just being fair."

Jiang Zhixun felt satisfied again.

By Qingqing’s standards, he was family!

He said calmly, "Don’t mention him again, it’s annoying."

Shen Qingqing rolled her eyes, "Who mentioned him first? Stop turning the tables."

Jiang Zhixun knew he was in the wrong and said nothing.

Shen Qingqing moved closer to see his expression, "Are you angry?"

"Yes, angry."

Angry at himself for not cherishing her, giving others a chance to pursue her.

If he hadn’t acted impulsively back then, Qingqing’s first love would have been him, and she would have married him. They could have been so happy over these eight years.

Jiang Zhixun suddenly felt melancholic, eight years is such a long time.

If another eight years passed, he would be old.

The more melancholic he felt, the more he wanted to cherish the time with Shen Qingqing.

The man suddenly tilted his head and kissed her on the cheek, surprising Shen Qingqing, followed by embarrassment and nervousness.

"Can’t you be mindful of your image, what if someone sees?"

"Let them see, I’m not kissing someone else’s object," the man said with confidence.

Shen Qingqing pinched his arm, but it was solid and didn’t budge.

"If you dare be reckless again, I’ll punish you with not seeing me for a month."

How could that be?

Not seeing her for a day, and he would miss her terribly.

Jiang Zhixun admitted his mistake with a good attitude, "I’ll listen to my wife, and next time, I’ll ask for your permission in advance."

Imagining that scene, Shen Qingqing couldn’t help but laugh, her gloomy mood disappearing.

She was already beautiful, and when she laughed, her eyes curved, radiant and irresistibly captivating.

"Wife, can I have a kiss?"

Shen Qingqing: "Get lost!"

Due to the angle and being blocked by Jiang Zhixun’s broad back, Mother Zhou didn’t clearly see what they were doing.

But the two were very close, there was no doubt about it.

"See, you all saw it! They just broke up a few days ago, and now she’s getting cozy with her ex-husband. She must have been in contact all along; returning home for work is a cover, reuniting with her ex-husband is the real reason!"

Father Zhou had a headache. frёeωebɳovel.com

He knew his wife’s temperament better than anyone.

Though strong-willed and relentless when insulted, a few sweet words could coax her.

Why does she become so stubborn when it comes to Shen Qingqing?

"What’s real or fake, isn’t it a fact she’s teaching at the school?"

Mother Zhou glared at her husband, "What do you know! Her job is just incidental; returning to rekindle old flames is the real motive!"

Father Zhou: "You’re overthinking it."

Zhou Hansheng’s sister silently nodded.

Sister Qingqing is so outstanding, her ex-husband isn’t stupid; he surely seized the chance to act.

She muttered to herself, if only mom wasn’t so overbearing and scared away Sister Qingqing, maybe her brother had a chance to win her back.

Now, there’s no way Sister Qingqing would dare be the Zhou family’s daughter-in-law.

In sight.

Jiang Zhixun set up the drawing board for Shen Qingqing and prepared a folding stool for her, ready to sit.

One with a brush, facing the landscape, sketching on the paper.

The other casually sat on a rock, not looking at the scenery, but with his eyes fixed on Shen Qingqing.

Mother Zhou’s face turned grim, "Let’s go home."

Looking any longer, she would only feel aggrieved.

Some thick-skinned people wouldn’t feel uncomfortable at all!

Everything seen today, she would write to inform her son.

He’d better get his head on straight and stop fantasizing about reuniting with Shen Qingqing.

And don’t change his life plans for her.

Shen Qingqing, not worth it!

The gaze fixating on her finally disappeared, Shen Qingqing discreetly let out a breath of relief.

She had been involved with Zhou Hansheng, once thinking they’d marry and support each other for life.

From start to finish, she never regretted that decision.

Even if in the end, they broke up.

Now, in a secret corner of her mind, there was a trace of hidden joy.

Lucky they didn’t marry.

Otherwise, facing such a strong-willed mother-in-law, Shen Qingqing wondered if she could handle it.

She had never really wanted to get married, and this only increased her fear of marriage.

It’s not just about maintaining a relationship and fearing another divorce.

But also fearing the pressure from elders...

Jiang Zhixun glanced lightly towards the direction the Zhou family left. Although Qingqing didn’t say anything, he could guess what she was thinking.

If she’s really fearful of marriage and resistant to it, not marrying is okay.

As long as she is healthy and happy, that’s all that matters.
