Chapter 11 I was scared

"It's really a bit sad." He wiped the silver cup, his tone full of emotion, "When you and Mr. Shen first came here to drink, you seemed to be only eighteen or nineteen years old. So many years have passed in the blink of an eye, and you have both become rich people. It's great."

I drank the wine in the glass with a bitter smile on my lips, and in my mind was the scene of Shen Yixiao bringing me to the bar for a drink for the first time.

I don't drink at all, and he didn't want me to drink, saying it was not a good thing. But I didn't want to watch a group of people drinking and feel out of place, so I insisted on learning to drink.

Later, my alcohol tolerance improved, and Shen Yixiao rarely stopped me.

"Mrs. Shen, you haven't been here for a long time. Why are you alone today?" the bartender asked again.

I had already finished the wine in one gulp and replied with a smile, "He's busy, give me another glass."

Most of the bartenders that Shen Yixiao and I were familiar with had left, leaving only the one in front of me. The other staff members were even more unfamiliar. I took the second glass of wine and looked blankly at the bar that was becoming more and more lively. Suddenly, I felt that even this place was very unfamiliar.

I finished my last glass of wine and prepared to leave.

Under the influence of alcohol, my steps were unsteady and I almost stumbled towards the door.

"Miss, are you okay?" A man held my arm and asked me in not very fluent Mandarin.

I looked up and saw that it was a foreigner.

I smiled and said, "It's okay, thank you, handsome."

As soon as I finished speaking, I felt my stomach churning, so I shook off the foreign man's hand and ran to the bathroom. Although I can drink a lot, I couldn't handle it.

To my surprise, the foreign man had been waiting for me outside the bathroom. When he saw me coming out, he immediately came to help me up and said, "Are you okay? I can take you home."

I was about to refuse when a chilly voice came over, "It seems like you've had a very rich private life over the years."

Xu Zhengnan was standing not far away, his eyes a little cold, obviously mocking me.

The grey sweatshirt and black jeans looked exceptionally good on him, softening his cold and aloof aura a little, but his slightly elongated almond-shaped eyes were as cold as ever.

The posture I was in with the foreign man at this moment did look very intimate.

I didn't expect that our second reunion would be under such circumstances.

I quickly pushed the foreign man away and said, "You misunderstood. We don't know each other."

The foreign man tactfully left, leaving this embarrassing situation to me to deal with.

"That's a one-night stand," Xu Zhengnan's eyes reflected a cold light, "Does Chen Yixiao know?"

When I think of Shen Yixiao, all the images that come to my mind are of him betraying me in various ways. I thought about giving him a taste of his own medicine, but I don't want to dirty myself.

Xu Zhengnan thought I was playing tricks behind Shen Yixiao's back, but he didn't know that I was the fool who was betrayed.

I don't want to talk about Chen Yixiao in front of him. In the past, for the so-called love, I made harsh words in front of him, betting that Chen Yixiao truly loved me.

If he knew my current situation, I would become a huge joke. The worst thing is that I can't even get a divorce.

Even if I want to disclose the shameful inside story, I have to wait until the day when I have saved enough money, obtained my documents, and can completely leave Shen Yixiao.

"It's just a misunderstanding, I have nothing to do with Shen Yixiao." I repeated this sentence, feeling a little numb.

"I'm not interested in your affairs. But since we used to be friends, I want to remind you to be responsible for the choices you made back then." Xu Zhengnan frowned, said these words indifferently, then turned and left.

I opened my mouth, but no words came out.

If I hadn’t chosen Shen Yixiao, I should be like Xu Zhengnan now, with family, friends and a career.

I covered my dizzy forehead and hurriedly left the bar, feeling confused.

After returning home, I went to the bathroom to take a bath to sober up.

Su Ying sent several messages in a row.

Su Ying: Why are you missing again?

Su Ying: Shen Yixiao didn’t go back with you, what happened? Have you changed your mind?

Su Ying: Secretary Lu has been following Shen Yixiao. I saw several people mistook her for you. Aren’t you jealous?

I looked at these words that were full of sarcasm and instigation, and I knew very well what Su Ying's mentality was at the moment.

"Wife, wife?" Shen Yixiao's voice sounded outside, very affectionately, "Are you taking a shower in there? Come out quickly, I brought you something delicious, you must not have eaten enough just now."

I didn't answer, I just put my head in the water.

The bathroom door was opened by Shen Yixiao. When he saw me drowning, he rushed over like crazy, yelling, "Li Yue!"

He grabbed my arm nervously and lifted me up from the water. When I opened my eyes, I saw his face full of panic and fear, and his eyes were frighteningly red.

“Great, you're okay, you're okay…” When he saw that I woke up, he hugged me tightly with such strength that it seemed as if he wanted to crush me.

I let him hold me, with my hands hanging at my sides, without any response.

Shen Yixiao was indeed frightened by me, and he didn’t notice that my reaction was wrong at all. He just buried his head in my wet neck as if in repentance, and murmured, "I'm sorry, wife, I'm sorry..."

I finally moved and found it novel.

Could it be that I scared him so much that he confessed his infidelity?

"It's all my fault for not spending enough time with you during this period. It's my fault for not coming back with you today. I'm sorry. I will change in the future."

It turns out I was overthinking it again.

My heart went cold. If Shen Yixiao were to be honest with me now, I would be pleased with his sincerity. At least I wouldn't have the heart to keep lying to me.

I let out a cold laugh and ridiculed my seventeen-year-old self.

"I'm fine, I just fell asleep while taking a bath, don't worry about me." I spoke to comfort him and asked Shen Yixiao to put me down.

"How can you be so careless? You really scared me to death. If anything happened to you, I would have no need to live." Shen Yixiao let go of me, his eyes were wet and red, and they were still there.

He looked at me cautiously, "Honey, has anything happened to you recently? Tell me whatever it is, okay?"

I didn't miss the flash of anxiety and guilt in his eyes.

He was testing me to see if I had discovered his affair.

I shook my head and brought up the child as an excuse, "I just feel sorry. It would be nice if we had a child."

Shen Yixiao breathed a sigh of relief, and he suddenly raised his hand and swore, "Wife, I swear to heaven, you are much more important than the child, please stop being depressed about this issue, okay? I don't want to see you unhappy."

I was amused by his sincerity. He expressed his love to Lu Xiaoyun in bed and showed his loyalty to me.

The funniest thing is that he thought I was smiling at that moment because I felt relieved because of his comfort.
