Chapter 37 Lost the Child

"Wife."

When I was stunned and shocked, Shen Yixiao appeared in front of me. He strode over with an anxious look on his face, "Where are you injured? Let me see."

Before I could answer, he squatted down to check my leg. When he saw the blood on the bandaged gauze, he felt distressed and stood up to ask me, "What happened? How could you be cut by the wire? Where did you go?"

I looked up at him. Lu Xiaoyun was in the operating room at that moment. She was carrying his baby in her belly, and she could no longer keep the baby. Yet he still had the leisure to worry about my minor injury.

Before I knew it, my eyes were red uncontrollably, and a feeling of helplessness and hatred swallowed up all my emotions.

"I was walking around the park and cut myself accidentally. I'm fine." I choked up as I opened my mouth, totally unable to hold back my sobs.

I really want to file for divorce right now.

"Chen Yixiao, let's get a divorce..." I was halfway through my words when my experience in my previous life popped up in my mind. I didn't get a divorce, but was placed under house arrest and couldn't go anywhere. In the end, I had to compromise and humiliate myself.

If I want to leave, I have to go abroad. Settling down abroad requires a lot of expenses and it is not that easy.

"We're getting divorced? What?" Shen Yixiao seemed to sense that something was wrong with my mood. His expression instantly tensed up, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, with a probing look.

He held my hand, pressing hard with his fingertips, causing a pain in my wrist.

"We are quite close to Secretary Lu. She is in this hospital. Why don't we go and see her condition before leaving?" I changed my answer.

Shen Yixiao then revealed a hint of smile, but it was not warm. Sometimes I felt that he loved Lu Xiaoyun, and sometimes I felt that he was very cold towards her.

He glanced at the hospital gate with a look of rejection and impatience, "Forget it, it shouldn't be a big deal."

"Yeah." I didn't force it.

Shen Yixiao picked me up forcefully and carried me sideways, walking towards the car. When I sat in the passenger seat, his cell phone rang and he answered the call while standing in front of the car.

I don’t know what the other party said, Shen Yixiao’s face stiffened a little bit, as if he was frozen, and he stood there for a long time without moving.

I didn't call him, but just looked at his silhouette through the windshield. It was so blurry in the night, just like the most beautiful image of him in my heart, which was becoming increasingly unclear.

After a while, Shen Yixiao got into the car.

He had returned to normal, his face no longer stiff, I asked him, "Who's calling?"

"Secretary Li," he replied.

"What's wrong? Was there any problem with Secretary Lu's surgery?" I asked.

Shen Yixiao's face looked a little worse, as if he remembered something troubling. He was silent for a few seconds before speaking, "She is pregnant, but the baby in her belly is gone."

As he said this, his grip on the steering wheel tightened a little, and the white knuckles were very glaring to me.

He couldn't maintain his indifference because he had always wanted a child. If Lu Xiaoyun just had a corpus luteum rupture operation, he might be a little worried, but he wouldn't be sad.

But he couldn't accept losing his and Lu Xiaoyun's child.

A sneer appeared on the corner of my mouth, but Shen Yixiao didn't notice it.

"What happened? Where is her boyfriend? Her boyfriend should be responsible. No wonder she was suddenly admitted to the hospital. I thought it was just overwork." I sighed and felt sorry for Lu Xiaoyun.

Shen Yixiao didn't want to say more, he just perfunctorily said, "We have no right to interfere with her and her boyfriend's affairs."

I shut my mouth and sat quietly.

After arriving home, Shen Yixiao helped me to the bedroom upstairs to rest. After I settled down in bed, he took out a pack of cigarettes and went to the balcony. He had clearly promised to quit smoking with me, but when he was upset, he seemed unable to do it.

I watched him standing on the balcony. His figure looked very lonely, and the smoke rings slowly rose from his lips.

His cell phone rang again, but this time he didn't answer it.

Based on my understanding of him, I can guess that he didn't want to answer the call, but he was afraid that after answering the call, he would not be able to help but find an excuse to go to the hospital, which would be easily discovered by me.

I can't keep the child anymore, and if he and I find out about his affair, it will ruin my image and that won't be worth it.

In my previous life, I was so devastated by Lu Xiaoyun's pregnancy that I didn't get up for several days and nights. I lay in bed like a corpse, not eating or drinking, and even forgot to ask Shen Yixiao how many pregnancies she had.

About half an hour later, Shen Yixiao returned to the bedroom. He lay down and hugged me. While I was half asleep and half awake, he kissed my forehead with tenderness and compassion.

I closed my eyes and pretended to be asleep, but soon he got up again, picked up his phone and walked out of the bedroom.

I didn't wake up to ask him where he was going, I just turned over and continued to sleep.

——

When I went to the company the next day, everyone in the Human Resources Department was discussing Lu Xiaoyun's sick leave.

"Secretary Lu worked too hard and ended up in the hospital."

"Otherwise, why would Mr. Shen think highly of her? How many of us can match her diligence and hard work?"

"The body is the capital of revolution, so I'd rather choose the capital!"

Everyone was talking about it, and I didn't restrain myself either. They didn't know the real reason why Lu Xiaoyun was admitted to the hospital, so they didn't avoid me.

In their eyes, Lu Xiaoyun was just a normal employee. Someone might have noticed something was wrong, but no one had any evidence and could not say anything in public. At most, they would talk about him behind his back.

Manager He found me as usual and asked me to go upstairs to deliver the documents.

Because this is the simplest thing, and I don’t need to worry about being scolded by Shen Yixiao.

When I arrived at the secretariat, Lu Xiaoyun and Secretary Li were not there. Secretary Li was probably left there as a temporary caregiver. If other caregivers were hired, personal privacy would not be guaranteed.

"Yixiao." After I entered the office, I found that there was a smell of cigarettes inside. Shen Yixiao was sitting at the desk, and there were already quite a few cigarette butts in the ashtray.

It seems that Lu Xiaoyun's miscarriage has caused him great trouble. The servant told me that he stayed in the study alone for most of the night and drove to the company at six in the morning.

There was a hint of blue under Shen Yixiao's eyes, and it was obvious that he hadn't slept well.

Seeing me coming, he put out his cigarette, stood up and walked over to me, "Why did I ask you to come up to deliver the documents again? I told you to come to the company just to kill some time. Is He Juntian deaf? You ignored my words!"

As he spoke, he seemed to get a little angry, and his expression became irritable, as if he was taking his anger out on others.

"It's not fun if you're too idle. What's wrong with you? Are you in a bad mood?" I put the documents on the table and asked calmly.
