I insist

Chapter 164: He's Jealous

Yu Huailin went into the house first, and Song Miqiu staggered over the threshold and went in.

She gasped and almost fell, but fortunately Song Miqiu steadied herself and didn't trip in front of Yu Huailin.

Song Miqiu felt her wrist turning red and blue. She could feel the hand gripping her wrist tightening its grip, as if it wanted to break her hand.

She gritted her teeth and swung her arm forcefully, trying to shake the other person's hand off.

But Yu Huailin's strength was simply too great; she couldn't match it at all.

Song Miqiu pursed her lips, looking somewhat withdrawn, and weakly spoke to Yu Huailin, "You pinched me too hard..."

Upon hearing this, Yu Huailin finally came to his senses and quickly let go of the other person's hand. His gaze fell on the spot where he had just pinched it, and sure enough, it had turned red.

Seeing this, Yu Huailin felt a pang of heartache. He wanted to ask Song Miqiu if she was in pain, but she spoke up first to explain.

"Yan Yufan and I only met before leaving the palace. Yan Yufan knew that I helped treat his father's illness, so he invited me to dinner to thank me. At the same time, he was afraid that I would be threatened if I went to the Ming family to check on the progress of the drug trial, so he took me to the Ming family and then brought me back."

Song Miqiu couldn't help but mutter under her breath, "But as soon as you see someone, you're obviously hostile. The other person doesn't even know what they did to offend you."

Just thinking about how Yan Yufan had looked at her and Yu Huailin with such confusion made Song Miqiu feel a headache coming on, so she put her hand to her head.

But the sharp, throbbing pain in her wrist made her lower her eyes to examine its condition.

Invite them to dinner, escort them to the Ming Prefecture, and then escort them back...

These words kept echoing in Huai Lin's mind. He clenched his teeth hard, as if he wanted to crush all his back teeth!

He stood expressionless in front of Song Miqiu, coldly watching her explain, his handsome eyes revealing a hint of arrogance.

Yu Huailin felt as if his heart was about to be consumed by flames!

He had been eagerly waiting for her to come over at home, but he never expected that Song Miqiu would be living such a comfortable life after leaving the palace, enjoying lavish meals and visiting the Ming family.

This stark contrast infuriated him.

While other men were busy doing things for Song Miqiu, he could only stand dumbly at the door, longingly watching her return.

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and quietly clenched his hand, which was hanging by his side, into a fist.

Yu Huailin let out a heavy sigh and said in a low voice, "I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now."

He didn't dare look back at Song Miqiu's expression, and strode away without giving her a single glance.

Song Miqiu stared in disbelief at Yu Huailin's departing figure. She rubbed her wrist, which Yu Huailin had been holding tightly, rolled her eyes, and muttered under her breath, "Why is Yu Huailin acting so strange today!"

Suddenly a head popped out of the door. Song Miqiu noticed it out of the corner of his eye, looked up and saw that it was Tian Yumei. He quickly composed himself.

Why did you come here?

Tian Yumei chuckled dryly and stepped forward. She glanced back in the direction Yu Huailin had left and replied in a low voice, "I heard you and him arguing when I was washing clothes outside, so I came over out of curiosity."

Tian Yumei's expression was somewhat strange and complicated. She lowered her eyes and mentally prepared herself before taking small steps to Song Miqiu's side and whispering, "Mother, I noticed you as soon as you came in. I also heard you arguing."

She put an arm to her lips and whispered to Song Miqiu, "Mother, didn't you think it was strange that the other person was acting like this all of a sudden? He's just jealous!"

Jealous?!

Song Miqiu's eyes widened in disbelief as she raised her arm and pointed in the direction Yu Huailin had left. "He's jealous?! How could that be?!"

"How could it be impossible!" Although Tian Yumei couldn't believe that a young master would like her mother-in-law, she still tried to explain earnestly, "Mother, have you noticed that every time that Young Master Yan comes, his hostility towards the other person is very obvious, as if he wants to devour them!"

Following Tian Yumei's train of thought, Song Miqiu nodded gently.

Indeed, every time Yu Huailin saw Yan Yufan appear beside her, she seemed to lose her temper and never gave Yan Yufan a kind look.

She initially suspected that Yan Yufan had offended Yu Huailin.

But now, listening to what Tian Yumei was saying, she realized that things weren't so simple.

She frowned, lowered her head, and carefully considered Tian Yumei's words, her brows furrowed tightly. "But I'm this age..."

Song Miqiu had not forgotten that in Tian Yumei's eyes, she still had the face of an old woman.

Besides, Yu Huailin has never seen his real appearance, so why does he like him? Could it be that he has that kind of fetish?

Thinking of this, Song Miqiu subconsciously covered her mouth. She slowly raised her eyes and met Tian Yumei's gaze. The other woman's indescribable expression clearly showed that she had the same thought as her.

Song Miqiu smacked her lips, still not realizing that the other person liked her.

This is absolutely incredible.

Tian Yumei had to prepare dinner and take care of her son and daughter, so she naturally didn't have much time to talk to Song Miqiu about this.

Although she found the matter very strange, she still approached it with the mindset that as long as the other person was happy.

After dinner.

Song Miqiu studied medical books by lamplight for a while, but her mind was full of thoughts about Yu Huailin. She couldn't understand a single word of the text, let alone what it was about.

Seeing that things continued this way, Song Miqiu simply stopped reading, otherwise it would be pointless to study.

She got up and dragged her exhausted body to the bed. Although her limbs were too weak to get up, her mind was very clear.

Song Miqiu opened her eyes wide, staring at the roof beam. She blinked repeatedly, and the scenes of her arguing with Yu Huailin slowly surfaced in her mind. The more she thought about it, the more something seemed off.

She shook her head vigorously, trying to shake off all the thoughts in her mind, but to no avail. The scene kept lingering in her mind, making her feel annoyed.

Song Miqiu tossed and turned, her eyes tightly closed, her small mouth slightly open, muttering something.

She tried to fall asleep by counting sheep.

She had probably recited the names of thousands of sheep, but Song Miqiu was still rolling around on the bed, full of energy. She lay on her back, shouting in frustration, wanting to shout out all the troubles in her heart.

The next day.

Song Miqiu slowly got up from the bed. She rubbed her eyes, and the dark circles under her eyes were very obvious.

She walked behind the brass mirror and saw her reflection. She was already prepared for it, since it was so late and she hadn't slept yet, so having dark circles under her eyes was normal.
