Chapter 13 Ridiculous Maintenance

After choosing the necklace, I drove to the place Meng Zicheng mentioned. It was a private club. I had been there once two years ago. I directly reported Shen Yixiao's name to verify the card and successfully entered.

I pretended to ask the staff casually, "By the way, which room is he in?"

"Mr. Shen is in room 8." The staff member was not wary of me.

I nodded and walked towards Room 8.

Meng Zicheng has arrived. I watched him push the door open and slowly close it, isolating himself from the world inside.

I came to the door, looked at the thick door, gently put my hand on it, and pushed it open a crack with a little force, all silently.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Mr. Shen, I lost my sense of proportion... wuwuwu..."

Lu Xiaoyun's crying voice was heard, full of grievance and fear.

I couldn't see what was going on inside, I just listened quietly.

"Brother Xiao, don't be angry. Secretary Lu definitely didn't mean it." Meng Zicheng's voice rang out, acting as a peacemaker.

Shen Yixiao shouted angrily, "Didn't you mean it? She dared to tell your sister-in-law that she has a boyfriend who dotes on her and loves her, treating her like a little princess. She dared to take the initiative to call Li Yue!"

You can tell that he is really angry, and a little disgusted.

Lu Xiaoyun sobbed quietly and said nothing.

Liang Feng spoke up at this time, "Secretary Lu, what is your mentality? Do you want to replace Li Yue?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the room fell into an eerie silence. Even my palms were covered in cold, slippery sweat. My heart in my chest slowed down its beating, waiting for an answer.

Before Lu Xiaoyun could answer, Shen Yixiao sneered, “Haha, are you dreaming?”

Lu Xiaoyun was broken by Shen Yixiao's contemptuous attitude. Her voice suddenly became louder, with unwillingness, "Boss Shen, I admit that I love you, and I am willing to be your bed-warming secretary, but you don't have to despise my feelings like this. I am indeed not as good as your wife, so why did you look for me?!"

"Then don't climb into my bed while I'm drunk!" Shen Yixiao roared, followed by the sound of shattering glass, and the atmosphere in the room became tense.

Should I be touched?

The man I've been with through thick and thin has a mistress, but I firmly defend the nobility of my original wife in front of the mistress.

I couldn't see through Shen Yixiao. He was so conflicted in his dealings between me and Lu Xiaoyun, which wasted so much energy.

Meng Zicheng acted like a good guy again, "Stop arguing, let's talk it over. Secretary Lu, please admit your mistake to Brother Xiao and don't do it again!"

Liang Feng continued, "Yes, Li Yue's importance to him is beyond your reach. When he was at his lowest point, it was Li Yue who supported him and got through it. Moreover, Li Yue once blocked a knife for him and even lost her child. Are you willing to pay such a price?"

I slowly clenched my fingers. I didn't want Lu Xiaoyun to know about this, but Liang Feng told her anyway.

Lu Xiaoyun said stubbornly, "I don't have the chance to block the knife for Mr. Shen, but I can give birth to a child for him!"

"Boss Shen, even if the child is given to you and your wife to raise in the future, it's okay if he doesn't recognize me as his mother. Don't you want to have a child of your own?"

Shen Yixiao was silent.

I couldn't breathe and loosened my hands. After the door closed, I turned and left. Humiliation and resentment washed over every nerve in my body. I wanted to kill that couple.

The price I paid for being unable to have children ended up becoming a part of their affair, which is really ridiculous.

I rushed out of the club and drove home as fast as I could, because I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to control my anger and would do something stupid to expose them.

Just after I got home, Aunt Yang called me again. I answered the phone after I calmed down.

"Xiaoyue, your parents are back early and will be home tomorrow. I came here specially to tell you, Xiaoyue, your parents are doing this for your own good. You two had such a bad relationship at the beginning, and now after so long, you took the initiative to lower your head. Besides, you and Shen Yixiao are so happy now, which proves that you made the right choice. Your parents will definitely forgive you." Aunt Yang advised me earnestly.

She and my mother are good friends and they care about each other.

When I broke off relations with my family, she searched all over the world for me, trying to persuade me to go back.

I have always remembered this kindness in my heart, but I don’t have the face to contact her actively.

I replied guiltily, "Okay, Aunt Yang, I know, thank you for telling me."

"Good boy, auntie just hopes that you can reconcile. I watched you grow up, and you are half a daughter to me." Auntie Yang sighed.

I talked to her about some interesting things from my childhood. When I was lost in the memories, Xu Zhengnan's voice interrupted, "Are you talking to Li Yue on the phone again?"

Whenever I hear his voice now, I get inexplicably nervous and feel ashamed. I’m afraid he will see through my current predicament.

I was feeling anxious even through the phone.

I didn't know what Aunt Yang was doing over there. I could hear some whispers, but I couldn't hear them clearly. Then I felt her cell phone seemed to be moving.

Suddenly, Xu Zhengnan's distant voice appeared clearly on the other end of the phone, "Hello?"

“Wife, I’m back.” At the same time, Shen Yixiao’s voice sounded at the door.

There was a brief two-second silence on Xu Zhengnan's end. Just as I was about to speak, he hung up the phone.

I held the phone in a daze for a while. It must have been Aunt Yang who forced him to say a few words to me just now. After hearing Shen Yixiao's voice, he had a reason to hang up the phone.

Shen Yixiao pushed the door open and walked in, holding a bunch of fiery red roses in his hands, with deep apology in his eyes, "Do you like it? Red roses."

I looked at the rose he handed me, and remembered that when we first got together, he didn't have money to buy roses, so he bought a few plastic roses and put them in a vase.

I like it very much. When he gave me fresh roses, I loved their beauty and passion. When he gave me plastic roses, I joked that they would never fade and would always be fresh.

At that time, I loved him no matter what he was like, and I was willing to throw myself into the fire for him because he was worth it.

I took the flowers and gave a faint smile, "Thank you, I like it very much."

In fact, I now see it as nothing more than a pool of mosquito blood.

Shen Yixiao sat down and held my hand, his eyes full of guilt, "Wife, I asked Secretary Lu to take a leave of absence for about half a month. Although those news are false, I don't want you to feel uncomfortable."

I smiled faintly and said nothing.

Shen Yixiao held me carefully in his arms, breathing slowly and heavily.

The next morning, I stopped Shen Yixiao who was about to go to the company.

"Yixiao, I want to travel abroad for a while. Have you seen my ID card and passport?" I asked casually.

A trace of vigilance flashed in Shen Yixiao's eyes, "Why do you suddenly want to travel? Wife, when I'm done with these few days, I'll go with you."

"I just felt bored and wanted to go out for some fresh air. I looked for my ID card and passport, but they were gone. Could they be lost?" I replied.
