Chapter 217 Abandoning Husband and Children

Shen Xichuan drank a mouthful of porridge nonchalantly, “Go ahead, I’m listening.”

Xu Jialan: “…”

She looked at the man's delicate profile and felt even more guilty.

Although it was due to serious business, she indeed left without telling him.

It makes her seem like a scumbag.

Xu Jialan had prepared his speech in his mind and was about to speak.

There was a knock on the office door.

She was stunned for a few seconds, looked over, picked up the switch at hand, pressed it, and said, "Enter."

The office door was pushed open from the outside.

The laboratory technician who had just taken Shen Xichuan’s car keys walked in.

He greeted the two of them happily.

Then he returned the car keys in his hand to Shen Xichuan.

“Mr. Shen, here are your car keys.”

The man glanced at it and reached out to take it, "Have you got everything?"

Xu Jialan: “?”

The laboratory technician nodded and said, "Everyone has received it. Thank you, Mr. Shen, for your hard work and for preparing so much."

Shen Xichuan hummed lightly, “You’re welcome, you’ve worked hard.”

Seeing that the two were also eating, the laboratory technician did not disturb them too much. He said thank you again and left the office.

Xu Jialan looked at him with a puzzled look on his face, "What... have you prepared?"

"Food," he said.

"eat……"

Xu Jialan seemed to have thought of something.

"Did you prepare anything for them?"

"I didn't prepare it. I just gave an order."

Shen Xichuan spoke nonchalantly.

Hearing his tone, Xu Jialan's heart became even more anxious, "Are you angry?"

Shen Xichuan paused in drinking porridge and said nothing.

Xu Jialan guessed it when he saw his actions.

"I'm sorry. It was my fault."

Shen Xichuan glanced at her sideways, "Are you still hungry?"

Xu Jialan was stunned for a moment, "It's okay."

I just had a few mouthfuls of porridge and snacks, and I'm not as hungry as I was at the beginning.

Shen Xichuan’s Adam’s apple moved, “That’s good.”

Xu Jialan: “?”

The next second, Shen Xichuan suddenly stood up, bent down, grabbed her waist, picked her up, and put her on the desk on the other side.

Before Xu Jialan could react.

She sat on the table.

Soon after, Shen Xichuan’s lips arrived.

Xu Jialan's eyes widened slightly.

Her hands clutched the sweater tightly across his chest.

The hand around her waist held her tightly in his arms.

Xu Jialan also slowly put her arms around his neck.

The weather on the first day of the Lunar New Year was not very warm.

The wind outside whistled against the glass windows.

The temperature in the office gradually rose.

The warm breath sprayed on my face, burning my skin red.

The sound of each other's strong heartbeats could be heard in their ears.

This is especially noticeable in quiet spaces.

I don’t know how long it took.

Xu Jialan felt like he was about to slide off the table.

Shen Xichuan held her waist and lifted her to the table easily.

Xu Jialan: “…”

Her lips were slightly swollen, her breathing was a little rapid, and she glared at the man coquettishly, "There are people outside."

How dare he kiss her in this place?

Fortunately, she had opened the privacy curtain on the window long ago.

People outside cannot see what is happening inside.

Shen Xichuan lowered his eyes to look at her, and said lazily, “It’s legal.”

So I'm not afraid of being seen by others.

Xu Jialan choked, "But..."

She was silent for a moment, and finally said nothing.

Okay, we've already kissed.

The man put his hands around her waist, his eyebrows slightly raised, "Why don't you say anything?"

Xu Jialan also hugged him, her voice a little soft, "Will it be of any use if I tell you? You've already kissed me."

Shen Xichuan chuckled, his tone lazy, “Well, it’s useless.”

Xu Jialan gave him a displeased look.

Then lean against his chest, right against his heart.

Listen to the sound of heartbeat.

Shen Xichuan lowered his eyes to look at the girl in his arms, his hand gently stroking her long hair from time to time.

As if coaxing her.

Xu Jialan's fingertips also unconsciously grasped the hem of his clothes.

"Why... did you call me so many times?"

She couldn't receive the call because her cell phone was not with her.

He knows that too.

Now that you know... then why do you have to fight so much?

Shen Xichuan stopped moving.

The office was so quiet that you could hear the two people breathing.

After a while, he finally spoke, "I just had a bad dream, and when I woke up I found you were not there, so I wanted to hear your voice."

He spoke in a low voice, sounding nonchalant.

It seemed like a small thing.

But Xu Jialan doesn't think so.

She raised her head and looked at him. "What did you dream about? Can you tell me?"

The man lowered his eyes to look at her, "Want to know?"

She nodded, "I do."

"After you finish eating all this, I'll tell you."

Shen Xichuan lazily pointed at the food on the table with his chin.

Xu Jialan: “…”

The man held her and put her down easily.

He rubbed her head and said, "Be good, it will get cold if you don't eat it now."

"You're changing the subject."

Xu Jialan looked at him steadily.

Shen Xichuan pulled the chair next to her and sat down, raising his eyebrows, “Didn’t I say it? I’ll tell you when you finish eating.”

"Are you sure?" she asked.

The man chuckled, "When have I ever lied to you?"

Xu Jialan thought about it and it seemed like not.

"Then after I finish eating, you have to tell me what you dreamed about?"

Shen Xichuan’s voice was filled with a hint of laughter, and he gave her a piece of dessert, “I know, Mrs. Shen.”

Xu Jialan took a bite of the snack and chewed it slowly.

Her eyes fell on the man's face and looked him over.

It seemed as if she wanted to see what kind of dream he had just had.

It actually makes him lose his composure sometimes.

Yeah, gaffe.

If he hadn't lost his composure, why would he have been so persistent in calling her so many times in a row?

Xu Jialan was a little absent-minded when he ate next.

Shen Xichuan glanced at her and said nothing.

He just kept putting food into her bowl.

After finishing his meal, Xu Jialan couldn't wait to look at him and said, "I'm done."

The man raised his eyes, hummed, and praised, "Excellent."

Then he started to clean up the mess.

Xu Jialan: “?”

"You haven't told me what you dreamed about yet?"

Shen Xichuan held the lunch box with his slender fingers and closed it neatly, “I just dreamed that you abandoned your husband and children and went to live with someone else.”

When Xu Jialan heard this, he was stunned for a moment.

When she heard the words "husband" and "son," her ears turned red and she subconsciously retorted, "What nonsense are you talking about? How is this possible?"

Hearing her words, Shen Xichuan stopped and looked at her, "Really not?"

"Of course not." Xu Jialan replied decisively.

The corners of Shen Xichuan's mouth curled slightly, and he hummed, "That's good, I'm relieved."

Eh?

Xu Jialan was still staring at the man.

She always felt that this dream would not be so simple.

Abandoning husband and children...

How could she possibly do such a thing?

But if it's true...

It seems like I should lose my composure.

Even on the way back to the Shen family villa, Xu Jialan was still lost in thought.

Did she do something to make Shen Xichuan dream that she abandoned her husband and children?

How could Shen Xichuan not notice the expression on her face?
