Chapter 9

Zhang Man had recently run into a marriage crisis, so while Si Yuming and Si Xiaotie were still out, Lin Ke returned her call.

A year ago, Zhang Man had impulsively married a man she\u2019d known for less than three months.

He came from a good family, was highly educated, handsome, and\u2014as Zhang Man had once put it\u2014good in every possible way. Even if they divorced in the end, she wouldn\u2019t be losing out.

Now that they had been married exactly a year, all the flaws and shortcomings that hadn\u2019t been carefully examined before marriage were surfacing one after another.

They had a huge fight every three days and a smaller one every two.

Only now did Zhang Man suddenly realize something.

\u201cKeke\u2026 do you think I might\u2019ve become one of those\u2026 beard wives?\u201d

Lin Ke didn\u2019t dare jump to conclusions.

\u201cThat\u2019s hard to say. Think about it more carefully first.\u201d

The other side fell silent for a few seconds before exploding with a curse.

\u201cHoly shit, maybe it\u2019s actually true! He barely gets phone calls, never interferes with my work or hobbies, and I stupidly enjoyed this so-called freedom after marriage.\u201d

\u201cThe effort it takes just to get him into bed is like begging an ancestor. And even when I finally coax him into it, he finishes in three or four minutes. I don\u2019t feel anything at all.\u201d The more Zhang Man spoke, the angrier she became. \u201cKeke, is this illegal? Can I sue him? That bastard! I\u2019m so pissed off!\u201d

Lin Ke silently endured her fury.

Only after Zhang Man finished venting did she calmly say,

\u201cDon\u2019t jump to conclusions yet, Manman. Observe him more deliberately for a few days.\u201d

Hearing Lin Ke\u2019s steady, composed voice, Zhang Man gradually calmed down too.

\u201cYou\u2019re right. If something\u2019s really going on, then he definitely has someone outside. I need to catch him cheating first. Then I\u2019ll divorce him. I can\u2019t alert him too early either\u2014what if he transfers all the assets and I end up with nothing?\u201d

Lin Ke hadn\u2019t expected her thoughts to go that far already. She chuckled softly.

\u201cMhm. Don\u2019t alert him. And\u2026 what if he\u2019s just incapable?\u201d

Silence again.

Then suddenly, Zhang Man counterattacked with a question.

\u201cSo President Si is very capable?\u201d

The woman instantly choked.

\u201cTsk, forget it. I don\u2019t want to hear it. Your President Si looks extremely capable.\u201d Zhang Man sighed dramatically. \u201cSeriously, I envy you. Handsome rich husband, adorable obedient daughter\u2026 Lin Ke, you really are winning at life.\u201d

Lin Ke didn\u2019t answer.

At that exact moment, movement sounded at the entrance.

She hurriedly said goodbye, hung up, and turned around.

Si Xiaotie was carrying a transparent acrylic box in her hands.

Her shoes flew off as she rushed inside with quick little steps. Behind her, the man placed her schoolbag by the entrance and bent down to neatly arrange the shoes.

\u201cMommy, look at my baby!\u201d

Lin Ke thought she\u2019d bought another small animal.

But the moment she got closer and looked\u2014

Her heart nearly stopped.

A giant furry spider.

It was almost the size of her palm!

Her face turned pale with fright as she hurriedly backed away two steps, unable to even speak.

The instant Si Xiaotie noticed her mother\u2019s expression, her excitement shrank considerably. She carefully hid the box behind her back and called out in a tiny guilty voice,

\u201cMommy\u2026\u201d

Si Yuming, who had followed behind, also saw the horrified expression on the woman\u2019s face. He was just about to explain when the tiny culprit spoke again in an even smaller voice.

\u201cDaddy bought it for me\u2026\u201d

He almost laughed.

What a wonderful daughter he had.

Si Yuming patted the back of the little girl\u2019s head, took the box from her, and placed it atop the laundry cabinet on the balcony.

Then he used the explanation the father and daughter had already discussed on the way home.

\u201cThis is a Chilean rose tarantula. They\u2019re gentle and have very weak venom. They\u2019re a common pet spider. Xiaotie promised me the spider will only stay inside the box and won\u2019t be released.\u201d

Si Xiaotie immediately lifted her head and added loudly,

\u201cRight! It won\u2019t come out!\u201d

She grabbed Lin Ke\u2019s hand and began acting spoiled.

\u201cMommy~\u201d

Lin Ke looked down at the tiny mastermind.

Then at the accomplice beside her.

Finally, she glanced at the terrifying many-legged creature again.

She still couldn\u2019t accept it.

It was simply too horrifying.

Si Xiaotie immediately hugged her mother\u2019s leg.

\u201cMommy, Spider is really obedient.\u201d

\u201cMommy, don\u2019t be scared, Xiaotie will protect you.\u201d

\u201cMommy~\u201d

In the end, Lin Ke sighed helplessly.

\u201cIt absolutely can only stay inside the box. You cannot let it out.\u201d

\u201cMhm!\u201d Si Xiaotie instantly brightened up.

Her little legs were just about to sprint toward the balcony when she suddenly turned back, grabbed Lin Ke, and kissed her.

\u201cMommy is the best!\u201d

Once only the married couple remained in the living room, Lin Ke shot him a fierce glare.

If he hadn\u2019t agreed to it, how could Si Xiaotie possibly have bought a spider?

The man who usually acted like an unquestioned superior actually wore a rare placating smile.

\u201cIt\u2019s really fine.\u201d

\u201cHow is this fine? What if it escapes and bites someone?\u201d

\u201cIt\u2019s not poisonous.\u201d

Lin Ke was truly speechless now, her voice growing sharper.

\u201cThey say it\u2019s not poisonous and you just believe them? Are you a zoologist or a doctor? What if they sold you some mutated species? Xiaotie touches everything she sees\u2014what if it bites her? The venom might be weak for adults, but does that mean it\u2019s harmless to a three-year-old child too?\u201d

The woman kept going without pause.

The more she spoke, the more severe she sounded, her face flushing red.

Si Yuming had never seen her like this before.

More than anything else, he felt surprised.

Surprised that she could display emotions this intense.

\u201cWhat are you smiling at?!\u201d Lin Ke grew even angrier when she saw the smile appear on his face.

The corners of Si Yuming\u2019s lips curved upward, revealing a faint dimple.

He stepped forward and pulled the furious little cat into his arms, gently patting her shoulder.

His voice was deep and soothing.

\u201cIt\u2019s really fine. Don\u2019t worry.\u201d

Lin Ke froze instantly.

The remaining anger in her chest suddenly stalled.

He was\u2026

What was he doing?

Comforting her?

Before the woman could fully regain her senses and push him away, Si Xiaotie turned back to look.

Her big eyes curved into crescents.

Cupping her hands around her mouth like a loudspeaker, she whispered secretly to the spider crawling around inside the box:

\u201cSpider, Daddy is comforting Dinosaur Mommy because she got angry. You can stay now.\u201d

\u2026

Because of the new creature suddenly added to the household, Lin Ke didn\u2019t dare step onto the balcony the entire evening.

Someone\u2019s attitude was exceptionally sincere, voluntarily taking over laundry duties and hanging clothes.

But when she saw the man squatting beside their daughter, feeding the spider together\u2026

And then saw the giant furry creature crawling around\u2026

A shiver instantly ran through her again.

She quickly turned around and fled back into the bedroom.

It wasn\u2019t until nearly ten o\u2019clock that Si Yuming finished putting their daughter to sleep and returned to shower.

Lin Ke put away the books she had been studying for exam preparation and prepared for bed.

But the moment she closed her eyes, the spider reappeared in her mind.

She simply couldn\u2019t relax.

How strong were spiders anyway?

Could it push open the lid and crawl out?

When Si Yuming emerged from the bathroom, he happened to witness her climbing barefoot out of bed to lock the door.

Then she crouched down to inspect the gap beneath it, even using her hand to measure whether the spider could crawl through before finally patting her chest in relief.

The woman stood up.

Upon seeing him, she glared again before walking over to shut the windows tightly as well.

Si Yuming laughed as he lifted the blanket and got into bed.

Once she climbed in too, he patiently explained,

\u201cI got the spider from a friend. Pure bloodline, complete inspection reports. Nothing unexpected will happen.\u201d

\u201cHmph.\u201d

Lin Ke lay flat and pulled the blanket over herself.

As usual, he reached over to hold her.

But today, the moment his arm stretched out, she pushed him away like a startled bird.

\u201cCan you stop touching me all of a sudden? It\u2019s terrifying!\u201d

\u201c\u2026\u2026\u201d

Si Yuming awkwardly withdrew and didn\u2019t dare touch her again.

The lights went out.

Half an hour later, the breathing beside him became calm and steady.

He himself gradually drifted into sleep too, subconsciously reaching toward the other side of the bed to pull her into his arms.

But the moment he touched her\u2014

The woman trembled slightly and muttered something indistinct.

Si Yuming opened his eyes.

A thin layer of sweat coated her forehead, and her body was trembling faintly as well.

His heart tightened in alarm.

Turning on the light, he called softly,

\u201cLin Ke?\u201d

No response.

He leaned closer.

\u201cWife?\u201d

She seemed to hear him.

Eyes still closed, she suddenly clung tightly to him, gripping him so hard it almost hurt as she whimpered softly,

\u201cNo\u2026 I don\u2019t want\u2026 go away\u2026\u201d

Her breathing was heavy and uneven.

Still trapped in the nightmare.

Si Yuming patted her back gently.

\u201cDon\u2019t be scared. It\u2019s okay. Just a dream.\u201d

\u201cIt\u2019s alright now. Everything\u2019s okay.\u201d

Gradually, the woman calmed down.

Her rigid body slowly softened again.

Si Yuming lowered his gaze and carefully wiped the sweat from her forehead with the back of his hand, movement after movement unbearably gentle.

Afterward, he simply watched her quietly until she finally fell back into peaceful sleep.

He truly hadn\u2019t expected her reaction to be this severe.

And now he already regretted buying that spider for Si Xiaotie.

\u2026

The next morning, Lin Ke still refused to go onto the balcony.

Instead, she simply raised her voice to call the little girl currently playing with the spider.

\u201cSi Xiaotie, come eat breakfast. Finish eating so we can go to kindergarten.\u201d

\u201cComing!\u201d

Having finally fulfilled her wish, Si Xiaotie was in exceptionally high spirits.

Climbing onto her personal little chair, she picked up her chopsticks with a beaming smile.

\u201cMommy, I\u2019m going to tell Yuan Yuan and Gu Yiyi that I have a spider now~\u201d

Lin Ke couldn\u2019t help laughing.

\u201cDon\u2019t scare your little friends.\u201d

\u201cI won\u2019t. Yuan Yuan is super brave.\u201d

\u201cThen what about Gu Yiyi?\u201d

Using both hands together, Si Xiaotie stuffed a dumpling into her mouth before speaking through her chewing.

\u201cGu Yiyi is a scaredy-cat.\u201d

Hearing that, Lin Ke became slightly more serious.

\u201cXiaotie, you can\u2019t talk about your friends like that.\u201d

\u201cI know. That\u2019s why I\u2019ll protect Gu Yiyi.\u201d

After breakfast, they headed to kindergarten.

Once out of the car, Si Xiaotie waved goodbye to Daddy before holding Teacher Bai Bai\u2019s hand and walking inside together.

As she walked, she eagerly shared,

\u201cTeacher Bai Bai, Daddy bought me a spider!\u201d

Teacher Bai Bai froze.

\u201cA spider?\u201d

\u201cYep! Didn\u2019t you say spiders are human friends too? So Daddy bought me one!\u201d

\u201c\u2026\u2026\u201d

Teacher Bai Bai was speechless.

She had indeed said that.

But she hadn\u2019t expected this little girl to decide she wanted to raise a spider\u2026

And how did they actually manage to buy a pet spider so casually?

The moment she entered the classroom and spotted her friends, the little girl released Teacher Bai Bai\u2019s hand and sprinted over.

Without even taking off her backpack, she urgently shared,

\u201cYuan Yuan, my daddy bought me a spider yesterday! Do you wanna see?!\u201d

Yuan Yuan spoke slowly, one word at a time.

\u201cRea\u2026 lly? Whe\u2026 re\u2026 is\u2026 it?\u201d

Only after Yuan Yuan finished speaking did Si Xiaotie realize the problem.

Right.

The spider was still at home.

Then suddenly, the little girl\u2019s eyes lit up.

\u201cYuan Yuan, come to my house tonight!\u201d

\u201cCa\u2026 can\u2026 I?\u201d

\u201cOf course!\u201d

Gu Yiyi entered the classroom at that exact moment and overheard them.

\u201cGo where? I wanna go too.\u201d

Si Xiaotie giggled and enthusiastically repeated herself while gesturing dramatically with both hands.

\u201cMy daddy bought me a huge giant spider! Come to my house and see it with me!\u201d

\u201cOkay okay!\u201d

By now, most of the children had arrived.

The teachers carried breakfast into the classroom and distributed it one by one.

But Si Xiaotie had already eaten breakfast.

So she simply sat between Yuan Yuan and Gu Yiyi chattering nonstop.

Yuan Yuan struggled with speaking and could only occasionally respond with a word or two.

Si Xiaotie didn\u2019t mind at all and simply continued talking to herself.

After a while, though, she realized Gu Yiyi hadn\u2019t made any sound for a long time.

Turning around, she saw the little boy\u2019s eyes were red.

Tilting her head close to him, she asked,

\u201cGu Yiyi, what\u2019s wrong?\u201d

Gu Yiyi was twice her size, but his voice remained soft and weak.

\u201cNothing\u2026\u201d

Alright then.

If nothing was wrong, nothing was wrong.

Si Xiaotie turned back to Yuan Yuan and continued excitedly.

\u201cMy spider can spin webs too! But Daddy said we have to feed it until it becomes big and fat before it can spin webs. Daddy also bought it lots of yummy food\u2026\u201d

\u201cGu Fatty, why are you eating so much?\u201d

A voice suddenly interrupted nearby.

Si Xiaotie turned around.

Gu Yiyi\u2019s face was bright red.

The little girl deeply furrowed her brows.

Those beautiful eyes so much like her father\u2019s instantly filled with cold hostility.

\u201cGu Fatty, are you gonna turn into a pig head?\u201d

\u201cMy mommy says eating too much turns people into giant fat pigs.\u201d

Gu Yiyi tightly pressed his lips together and silently pushed away the little cake in his bowl, not daring to say a word.

Si Xiaotie clenched her fists and shouted loudly,

\u201cYou\u2019re not allowed to bully Gu Yiyi!\u201d

The girl who had spoken jumped in fright and shrank back.

\u201cI didn\u2019t\u2026\u201d

\u201cYou did! Bad person!\u201d

Yuan Yuan tugged at her.

\u201cXi\u2026 Xia\u2026 Xiaotie\u2026\u201d

But Si Xiaotie brushed her aside and stood up aggressively.

\u201cGu Yiyi isn\u2019t fat at all! My mommy says we\u2019re still growing, so we should eat lots and lots. You\u2019re not allowed to call him fat anymore. If you do it again, I\u2019ll tell the teacher and tell my daddy too.\u201d

The little girl hurriedly nodded, then asked softly,

\u201cIs your daddy a police officer?\u201d

Daddy obviously wasn\u2019t a police officer.

Daddy worked in an office.

But Si Xiaotie\u2019s black eyes spun mischievously before she proudly lifted her chin.

\u201cYep! My daddy is super powerful! Whoever does bad things gets arrested by him!\u201d

Ignoring the girl afterward, Si Xiaotie stood on tiptoe and grabbed the two remaining buns the teacher had left on the table, stuffing them into Gu Yiyi\u2019s bowl.

Then she ordered him firmly,

\u201cHurry up and eat. You need to get nice and full.\u201d

Gu Yiyi still didn\u2019t move.

When he looked over again, the little girl had already gone back to chatting endlessly with Yuan Yuan.

Silently, he picked up a bun and took a bite.

He didn\u2019t want to be called Fatty anymore\u2026

But the buns were really delicious\u2026

\u2026

Having just signed the cooperation agreement, the translation team had two relatively relaxed days.

But Lin Ke didn\u2019t get any rest.

Wan Lei had secured her an interview opportunity for next month\u2019s regional international forum.

This forum wouldn\u2019t just cover the common fields of medicine, finance, and technology.

It would also include unfamiliar sectors like military industry and energy.

She needed to prepare thoroughly.

At around three in the afternoon, a message popped up on WeChat displayed on her computer.

Lin Qiliang.

Three voice messages.

She directly converted them into text.

\u3010Keke, your aunt\u2019s birthday is this weekend. Remember to bring Xiaotie home.\u3011

\u3010What\u2019s Yuming doing? I heard he\u2019s back in North City. If he has time, bring him too.\u3011

\u3010Oh right, your aunt wants a certain handbag. See if you can buy it. I\u2019ll send you the details later.\u3011

Lin Ke stared at the messages and gradually drifted into thought.

Back when Lin Qiliang went bankrupt, her mother fell ill and passed away.

Half a year later, Zhu Li\u2014already pregnant\u2014entered the Lin family.

The following year, she gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl.

In Lin Qiliang\u2019s nearly fifty years of life, Lin Ke\u2019s mother had already become blurry in memory.

The more important person in his life now was his second wife, who had stayed with him through bankruptcy, rebuilding from nothing, surviving hardship, and finally returning to stability while also giving birth to his twins.

He loved Zhu Li.

Loved Lin Jialang and Lin Jiayan.

Before Lin Ke, there had perhaps also been work and wealth.

By the time everything else took its share, the love and energy left for her were already limited.

Before her marriage, Lin Ke barely existed within the Lin family.

After marriage, she became the Lin family\u2019s greatest contributor.

Zhu Li spoke gently to her now, seeming even kinder to her than to her own biological daughter.

Some things sixteen-year-old Lin Ke had once longed for and failed to understand\u2014

Twenty-seven-year-old Lin Ke, now possessing everything, only found disgusting.

After marriage, she rarely returned to the Lin family home.

Every time she received messages like these from Lin Qiliang, she felt irritated.

At some unknown point, her connection to the Lin family had become a burden.

Ma Chanchan came over to discuss work.

Lin Ke snapped back to reality and coordinated the tasks for the next few days with her.

Only afterward did she reply:

\u3010Okay. Si Yuming is busy with work. Xiaotie wants to visit her brother this weekend, so I\u2019ll come alone.\u3011

With Si Xiaotie around, things would definitely feel easier.

But she didn\u2019t want to use her daughter as a tool to entertain and please them.

Lin Qiliang didn\u2019t reply for a long time.

Lin Ke stopped caring.

At four o\u2019clock, she messaged Aunt Chen to pick up Si Xiaotie from kindergarten first since she didn\u2019t plan on leaving work early.

After thinking for a moment, she added another instruction for Aunt Chen to handle all balcony-related chores.

As long as that spider remained on the balcony, she absolutely would not step out there herself.

She left work precisely at six.

But before heading home, she stopped by the flower shop in the neighboring mall to pick up the bouquet she\u2019d ordered.

There were two universities nearby, so the mall was especially crowded at this hour.

Lin Ke never expected to run into Lin Jialang here.

The eighteen-year-old girl was dressed maturely and currently clinging to a man several years older than herself.

The man wore expensive-looking clothes, but his demeanor was careless and somewhat roguish.

The two were picking flowers together.

Lin Jialang lifted a bouquet of roses and looked up.

Their eyes met.

For a split second, panic flashed across the girl\u2019s face.

But she quickly lifted her chin proudly without releasing the man\u2019s arm.

Lin Ke frowned slightly.

She and Lin Jialang didn\u2019t share the closeness of ordinary sisters.

They were practically strangers.

She had no right to meddle.

But Lin Jialang had only just started university this September.

She was only eighteen.

The man beside her didn\u2019t look ordinary.

Nor did he look like a good person.

How had she already ended up dating someone like this right after becoming an adult?

Following the girl\u2019s gaze, the man looked over too.

After staring at Lin Ke for several seconds, he turned back and asked,

\u201cYou know her?\u201d

Lin Jialang hesitated briefly without answering, then pushed him toward the exit.

Lin Ke didn\u2019t bother making things awkward for herself and simply walked straight to the counter to collect her flowers.

Why was she worrying about it anyway?

Adults should bear responsibility for their own choices.

Fragments of conversation drifted from behind.

\u201cLet\u2019s go. I suddenly don\u2019t want flowers anymore.\u201d

\u201cWe\u2019re already here. Why don\u2019t you want them now?\u201d

\u201cI just don\u2019t.\u201d

\u201cYou\u2019re really troublesome. Who was that?\u201d

\u201cMy sister who married into a rich family. Hurry up already.\u201d

Lin Ke pressed her lips together and accepted the flowers from the shop owner.

A message quickly appeared on her phone:

Lin Jialang\uff1a\u3010You\u2019re not allowed to tell Mom and Dad!\u3011

She didn\u2019t reply.

The city during rush hour was hopelessly congested, cars inching along slowly.

Lin Ke looked at the fresh bouquet of sunflowers in the passenger seat.

Her previously heavy mood gradually brightened.

Si Xiaotie loved sunflowers the most.

Or rather, she loved everything bright yellow.

Yellow was practically her signature color.

If she saw this bouquet, she would definitely become ecstatic\u2014first kissing Lin Ke happily, then carrying the flowers around the living room in circles several times.

By the time she arrived home, it was nearly seven.

The moment she stepped out of the elevator, she could already hear noisy commotion inside the apartment.

It sounded like Si Xiaotie and another child.

Lin Ke unlocked the door and entered.

The very next second\u2014

\u201cAH\u2014!\u201d

She screamed in terror at the horrifying furry creature crawling across the floor.

Without daring to touch the ground, she immediately fled and jumped straight into the arms of the man playing with the children in the living room, clinging to him like an octopus.

The sunflowers fell to the floor.

Gu Yiyi stared curiously at Xiaotie\u2019s mother plastered tightly against Xiaotie\u2019s father.

\u201cXiaotie, is your mommy scared of spiders?\u201d

Si Xiaotie hurriedly squatted down and carefully scooped up the spider with both hands before placing it back into the box.
