That night.
"Jingcheng, can we not go back tonight?"
As they left the restaurant, Shen Siyao clung to Bo Jingcheng's arm, looking at him with reluctance.
"Siyao, tonight really won't work. Xinyue is back. If we don't go back, she'll definitely get suspicious." Bo Jingcheng frowned and refused Shen Siyao's request.
Bo Xuan held Shen Siyao's hand and said, "Aunt Siyao, don't worry, Dad and I will come to see you again when we have time."
Upon hearing this, Chen Siyao pouted and said, "Alright then!"
“However, Jingcheng, you have to take me back. I’m scared to be alone.” Shen Siyao paused, then added.
“Okay, I’ll take you back.” Bo Jingcheng nodded.
Shen Siyao then smiled broadly and affectionately took Bo Jingcheng's arm.
Bo Jingcheng, holding Bo Xuan's hand, walked towards the luxury car parked by the roadside, looking like a family of three chatting and laughing.
The Bo family villa.
Jiang Xinyue sat alone at the dining table, looking at the food in front of her, but she didn't eat a single bite.
Seeing that she had been sitting quietly by herself for a long time, Aunt Xiu couldn't help but ask, "Madam, the food is getting cold. Are you still waiting for the young master and the others to come back?"
After saying that, a hint of sympathy flashed in Aunt Xiu's eyes.
Jiang Xinyue snapped out of her daze, a cold smile curling at the corner of her lips.
"No need, just throw all the food away!"
She had already anticipated the outcome and didn't expect Bo Jingcheng to come back for dinner.
"Poured away?" Hearing this, Aunt Xiu hesitated. "Madam, won't you eat something?"
"I'm not eating anymore, I have no appetite. Aunt Xiu, you've worked hard today, you should go home and rest early!"
Jiang Xinyue stood up and said calmly.
"Yes, Madam." Aunt Xiu nodded slightly.
After Aunt Xiu left, the villa fell into a deathly silence.
Jiang Xinyue dragged her heavy steps up the stairs, each step feeling like she was stepping on her broken heart.
She walked into the bedroom and saw the family photo still on the bedside table, feeling a deep sense of irony.
She stepped over, grabbed the family photo, and her hand trembled uncontrollably.
In the photos, the family used to smile so brightly, with Bo Jingcheng gently embracing her and Bo Xuan smiling innocently. But now, those smiles are like sharp blades, cutting into her heart again and again.
With a crash, Jiang Xinyue slammed the photo to the ground. The glass frame shattered instantly, and sharp shards cut her fingers, drawing out drops of bright red blood that stained the photo, staining the beautiful memory.
"Hehe..." Jiang Xinyue felt no pain at all and couldn't help but laugh. Her laughter was filled with desolation and bitterness, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
Just then, her phone rang abruptly. Jiang Xinyue numbly picked it up; it was her older brother, Jiang Chengyu, whom she hadn't seen in a long time calling.
“Xinyue, your brother is back from his business trip. Why don’t you bring Xuanxuan and Jingcheng home another day? Let’s have a family get-together.”
Hearing her older brother's voice, Jiang Xinyue forced back her tears, took a deep breath, and said, "Okay, I'll bring Xuanxuan back another day."
"Xinyue, what's wrong? Your voice sounds off." Jiang Chengyu on the phone seemed to notice something was wrong and asked with concern.
"Big brother, I'm fine." Jiang Xinyue didn't want her family to worry about her, so she didn't say a word about what had happened between her and Bo Jingcheng recently.
"It's good that you're alright. Did Jingcheng bully you while I was away?"
"No, big brother, don't worry! Jingcheng treats me very well." Jiang Xinyue tried her best to control her emotions so that Jiang Chengyu wouldn't notice anything unusual.
She knew that her elder brother Jiang Chengyu and Bo Jingcheng were close friends for many years. The main reason why the Jiang family and the Bo family were arranged to marry was because the original owner had a crush on Bo Jingcheng.
When she first transmigrated, Jiang Xinyue and Bo Jingcheng were already engaged.
Adding to his woes, she was the object of his affections, and he was heartbroken and his company was facing bankruptcy, putting him in a dark period.
It was her appearance that saved him.
Back then, even though she knew that Bo Jingcheng had a white moonlight in his heart, which was Shen Siyao, the female lead of this world, she still married him without hesitation.
The night before her wedding, she clearly remembered that her older brother had asked her this question.
"Xinyue, have you really decided to marry Bo Jingcheng?"
At that moment, she nodded without hesitation, "Yes, brother, I like him, and I want to stay by his side."
"No regrets?"
She said with a determined look, "I will never regret it!"
She chose this path herself, and she would walk it to the end, even if she had to cry, because she absolutely could not let her family worry about her.
Although Jiang Chengyu still had doubts, he didn't press the matter further, only offering a few words of advice before hanging up. Jiang Xinyue stared at her phone screen, tears blurring her vision once more.
She took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and began to think about what to do next.
Yes, she needs to stay calm and pretend nothing happened.
She wants to collect all the evidence of Bo Jingcheng's infidelity, win custody of the child, and continue to pursue her design dreams.
After calming down, Jiang Xinyue immediately got up, sat down at her computer, opened her email, and looked at the resumes she had sent out.
Soon, she found a reply from a company called "Shengshi Group".
Meanwhile, after sending Shen Siyao home, Bo Jingcheng drove slowly toward the Bo family villa.
Throughout the journey, he was filled with anxiety, wondering how to face Jiang Xinyue.
Bo Xuan sat in the passenger seat, also silent, playing with his toys by himself, the atmosphere so oppressive it was hard to breathe.
Bo Jingcheng pulled the car over to the side of the road and couldn't help but ask, "Xuanxuan, when you get back, do you know how to answer when your mom asks?"
Hearing this, Bo Xuan turned to look at Bo Jingcheng in the driver's seat and smiled slightly. "Dad, don't worry! I definitely won't betray you when we get back. If Mom asks, I'll just say you were out socializing, which is why you came to pick me up so late."
Although Bo Xuan is only three years old, he is very smart and has a clear mind.
"I won't tell Mommy that we're secretly seeing Aunt Siyao behind her back."
Upon hearing this, Bo Jingcheng finally smiled. "Xuanxuan is so good. He truly is my good son."
Bo Jingcheng restarted the car and drove towards the villa.
After arriving home, he led Bo Xuan through the door. The villa was quiet and somewhat oppressive.
He tiptoed upstairs, pushed open the bedroom door, and saw Jiang Xinyue sitting in front of the computer, looking focused, as if she was busy with something.
"Xinyue, I'm back." Bo Jingcheng tried his best to make his voice sound natural.
Jiang Xinyue turned her head, glanced at him, and said calmly, "Hmm, you're back so late. Are you very busy at the company?"
Bo Jingcheng's heart tightened, and he quickly nodded: "Yes, there's been a lot going on at the company lately, and I also had an important social engagement. I rushed to pick up Xuanxuan as soon as it was over."
