Chapter 73 He Wants to Return to the Past

The cup brushed past Shen Yixiao's forehead and finally fell to the ground. Although there was a blanket as a cushion, it still broke into pieces.

Shen Yixiao covered his injured forehead, his eyes were bloodshot, and he stared at me ferociously. This was the first time I saw him being so fierce to me. We had such an ugly fight in the last life. He put me under house arrest, intimidated me, and threatened me, but he had never been so fierce.

At this moment, I felt that I was the murderer of his father, and there was an irreconcilable blood feud between us.

"Li Yue!"

He roared, but didn't move, and didn't come over to teach me a lesson.

I was shocked, with all kinds of emotions mixed in my eyes, and I looked at him without moving.

There was less than two meters between us, but it seemed as if there was a bottomless ravine between us. No one could step over it and hug each other tightly against our hearts.

"Xu Zhengnan and I have never done anything to let you down, Shen Yixiao, you are not only suspicious, but you also constantly insult my feelings. This is how you explain our relationship." After I said these words, I found that my body was shaking constantly because my emotions were too intense, and I had a somatization problem, so my body was not very controllable.

Shen Yixiao pointed at me and wanted to say something, but in the end he just gritted his teeth and turned to go upstairs.

He didn't even slam the door and leave to find Lu Xiaoyun?

I sat down on the sofa and asked the maid to come in and clean up. Thinking that I still had to shoot the trailer tomorrow, I couldn't help but sneer. I didn't know if Shen Yixiao would postpone the shooting. After all, the two of us had such a serious quarrel tonight. If we didn't cooperate well and someone noticed the problem, it would be embarrassing.

It was almost twelve o'clock when I slowly went upstairs to wash up. Unexpectedly, Shen Yixiao was already waiting for me there.

I deliberately avoided him and ignored him.

He stretched out his arm to stop me, and said in a low voice, "I was wrong, let's stop arguing, okay?"

You're admitting your mistake right after the argument? I think he didn't want to affect tomorrow's filming. For him, personality is very important because it brings him traffic and psychological satisfaction.

"Chen Yixiao, let's give up tomorrow's filming. You go and pay the penalty for breach of contract." I pushed his hand away and said coldly.

"No." Shen Yixiao refused without even thinking about it. He looked at me with a very serious expression. "It's normal for couples to quarrel, but if you give up the money in front of you because of a quarrel, you are a fool. Don't you want to open a store? I bought the store and put it in your name, and I need to decorate it and source goods, which all require money. Do you think that money fell from the sky?"

Are you deliberately picking on me? I wanted to open a store and spent his money, but I didn't think about how to cooperate with him to make money, so he was unhappy.

I didn't say anything, but just walked into the bathroom in the bedroom.

Shen Yixiao was smoking outside, one cigarette after another. Although the doors and windows were open, the smell of cigarettes still filled the entire room. After I decided to quit smoking, I became extremely disgusted with the smell of cigarettes.

Seeing me fanning him with my hand, Shen Yixiao threw away his cigarette butt and stomped it out. He walked over to continue negotiating about tomorrow's filming, "Continue filming as scheduled tomorrow. I have arranged for you to come to the secretariat to work for a few days. And all the crew members will be here tomorrow. If you suddenly go on strike and don't shoot, not only will we have to pay compensation for breach of contract, but we will also offend people."

"I understand." I didn't argue with him because I didn't really intend to give up the filming.

Perhaps it would be a good idea to let everyone discover the true appearance of this man behind the mask of his beloved wife through clues.

I agreed easily, which instantly made Shen Yixiao feel relieved. I have always been like this. Even if I have a big fight with him, as long as he gives me a way out and coaxes me, I will forgive him.

Before going to bed, Shen Yixiao brought the medicine box and applied medicine to his wound. He suddenly handed me the cotton swab and smiled, "You apply the medicine for me."

I was stunned for a moment, sat up, took the cotton swab, dipped it in the medicine, and gently wiped the wound on Shen Yixiao's forehead.

He does not have a very fair complexion, but a wheat-colored one, which is healthy and sexy. His hair is straight and grows casually, without any hairstyle that has been deliberately groomed. He looks very casual and unrestrained, and coupled with his handsome face, it is easy for him to attract women's attention.

I haven't applied medicine to him for a long time. In the past, he always got into fights and came home with injuries. I would treat his wounds in a panic. Later, I became more and more skilled. As long as the injuries were not fatal, he would come home and let me treat them.

I advised him to stop being a gangster and live a normal life. He always agreed to me reluctantly but he couldn't do it.

Later, not only did I fail to persuade him successfully, but I followed him astray and became an outcast in the eyes of others.

"I'm always worried that you'll regret it, and I'm afraid that you'll hate me." Shen Yixiao raised his hand and grabbed my wrist, his eyes filled with sadness. "I've given you a rich life, but I know that I can never give you spiritual satisfaction. The more this happens, the more I feel like there's a wall between us. I want to break it down, but I fail again and again."

I stared at him, listening to his half-true, half-false inner thoughts, but I was unable to feel any emotion. Instead, my first reaction was to guess whether he was saying three parts true and seven parts false, or seven parts true and three parts false, or even fifty-fifty?

"Can we go back to the way we were before?" he asked me with red eyes.

I answered in my heart: No.

But I couldn't say it so bluntly, "I don't know, maybe."

This answer is more truthful.

Shen Yixiao let go of my hand and assured me, “Don’t worry, when Secretary Lu resigns, there won’t be so many misunderstandings between us, and we will definitely be the same as before.”

"Yeah." I nodded.

——

The next day, when Shen Yixiao and I arrived at the company, the filming crew was already ready.

Shen Yixiao appeared in the camera holding my hand.

We strictly followed the script, and Shen Yixiao always performed well in the small interactions and details required by the director, and even without saying anything, he was able to show a more delicate and tender side.

I was going to work in the secretariat for three days. My temporary position was right next to Lu Xiaoyun. She stood with other employees, seemingly acting as an envious spectator, but jealousy and resentment flashed across her eyes from time to time, and I caught it several times.

"Mr. Shen, Ms. Li, in the next step we will interview your company's employees about their impressions of you two and some blessings. Please recommend two people so that we can make arrangements." Director Li said to Shen Yixiao and me during the break.

After Shen Yixiao thought about it, he gave him the names of two people.
