Chapter 351 My Husband's Trial Card Has Expired
When Su Xi woke up, it was already completely dark.
She was covered with a small cashmere blanket.
In the soft light of the nightlight, Su Xi noticed a tall, upright figure sitting in front of the sofa.
The air was filled with tenderness and concern, and Su Xi knew that the man in front of her was not Feng Jue.
It should be Feng Jingnian.
Her tension and wariness vanished instantly. Rubbing her sleepy eyes, she asked in a languid and casual tone, "Jingnian, is that you?"
"Yes, you're awake?"
Seeing that Su Xi was about to sit up, Feng Jingnian quickly went over and helped the woman up.
As soon as Su Xi sat up, the aroma of food filled her nostrils. She then noticed that the table was covered with insulated lids, holding all the dishes together.
But the aroma still wafted out, all of which were flavors she loved.
"Are you hungry? Let's go get something to eat."
Feng Jingnian's gaze swept over the bite mark on Su Xi's lips without leaving a trace, his voice soft.
Su Xi then remembered that she had turned off her phone and gone to sleep. She apologized, "I was so tired earlier that I didn't have time to tell you before turning off my phone and going to sleep. You weren't worried, were you?"
Feng Jingnian didn't mention his frantic search for Su Xi at all, and shook his head. "My cousin told me you were here. I was careless. You're pregnant, so it's normal for you to be sleepy. I shouldn't have talked to you so much; it's tiring for you."
Su Xi scrutinized the man, but couldn't detect anything unusual about him, so she figured Feng Jue hadn't said anything he shouldn't have.
She moved her lips, and the slight stinging sensation on them felt like an electric shock, instantly tightening her heartstrings.
Lowering her eyes and glancing around, Su Xi explained, "I accidentally bumped into Feng Jue while walking and cut my lip."
"And this suit, it got a bit chilly in the evening, Feng Jue only lent it to me because the child in my belly is a member of the Feng family."
Seeing the woman's cautious look, Feng Jingnian smiled and said, "I believe you. You don't need to explain. Let's eat first."
Only after confirming that Su Xi's eyes had adjusted to the light did Feng Jingnian turn on the headlights.
The two of them ate together.
Such peaceful meals happened almost every day. But today, her woman's intuition told her that something was wrong with Feng Jingnian.
His gaze remained fixed on her, as if she would vanish into thin air the moment he looked away.
I almost ate my food up my nose while watching her.
Something's not right. Something's very wrong.
It was as if they were about to part ways and go their separate ways.
It's a bit strange that he's still so insecure even though he clearly agreed to continue pretending to be her husband.
After Su Xi had eaten most of her food, she couldn't help but ask, "Jing Nian, is something on your mind?"
Su Xi was quite certain. Feng Jingnian's eyes flickered, as if she had hit the nail on the head.
But he smiled and said no, "Xixi, you know me. I'm not the kind of person who's suspicious. And I would never hide anything from you."
Seeing that the man didn't want to talk, Su Xi felt a little uncomfortable, but she didn't say anything more.
After all, everyone has their own privacy, and there were many things she didn't want to tell Feng Jingnian.
Nie Liuyun came over right after we finished eating.
"I reckon you should be leaving soon, so I'll see you off. Sister-in-law, the food at Ruyi Pavilion..."
He was just about to ask Su Xi if the food at Ruyi Pavilion suited his taste when his gaze was suddenly drawn to a patch of bright red on Su Xi's lips, and he stopped talking abruptly.
He looked at Su Xi in disbelief, then at Feng Jingnian, and saw that both of them seemed completely unconcerned about the bite mark. He even wondered if he was hallucinating.
Could it be that only he can see it?
When did he become so perceptive?
Nie Liuyun couldn't keep it to himself, so he asked directly, "Sister-in-law, what happened to your lips?"
Su Xi's face stiffened. Before she could answer, Feng Jingnian spoke up for her, "It was an accident. Why are you making such a fuss?"
"What? I'm making a fuss?" Nie Liuyun pointed at his nose, his eyes wide like saucers. He had a thousand words stuck in his throat, but he couldn't say them, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
He's a lifelong single, that's true, but he's not stupid.
Those are clearly bite marks, okay?
The two of them tacitly denied it, and neither of them showed any signs of sweetness or shyness, so it probably wasn't Feng Jingnian who bit them.
He didn't have the guts.
So, could it be...?
Considering that Feng Jue, that fiend, also came today, could it be him?
The thought had barely crossed his mind when he immediately dismissed it. Impossible. Su Xi had confidently declared that day that she and Jing Nian would team up to sue him for molestation.
If it were Feng Jue, Feng Jingnian would never have helped Su Xi keep it a secret from him.
In just a few seconds, Nie Liuyun felt as if his CPU had been burned out.
His big eyes were full of curiosity.
Feng Jingnian ignored him and looked at Su Xi instead, saying, "Have you finished eating? Let's go back."
"Um."
As soon as Su Xi stood up, Nie Liuyun looked at the excellent quality men's suit Su Xi was wearing and blinked a few times.
Suddenly, his eyes widened so much they almost popped out.
When Su Xi was sitting down, he couldn't tell if the suit belonged to Feng Jingnian.
But when Su Xi stood up, the fabric and style of the suit were immediately obvious. He was so close to Feng Jingnian that he practically shared the same pants; how could he not tell that this suit wasn't Feng Jingnian's at all?
He was a straightforward person who didn't know the answer to anything, so he asked directly, "Sister-in-law, whose suit is this?"
"I just ordered it, is that not okay?"
Nie Liuyun looked at Feng Jingnian, who couldn't wait to speak, his face clearly displaying his true intentions.
I treated you like a brother, but you treated me like a fool? Isn't that right? All these years of sincerity have been misplaced in the end.
"Really? This haute couture is ridiculously expensive. It even has a nameplate on it, let me see."
As Nie Liuyun was about to step forward to check, Feng Jingnian pulled her away.
"How dare you touch your sister-in-law? Nie Liuyun, if you're drunk, go lie down on a plank. Don't make a fool of yourself here."
Nie Liuyun was stunned, and only then did he realize that his previous behavior was somewhat rash, and his handsome face turned bright red.
He stammered, "I touched the suit, not my sister-in-law. What kind of talk is that?"
The moment the words left his mouth, he sounded like he was doing something wrong, and the more he tried to explain, the worse it got.
After a struggle between his left and right brains, Nie Liuyun finally decided to take the blame, saying, "I...I drank a bit too much today, so I'll go back and lie down."
After saying that, he fled as if he were running away.
Anyone with eyes to see can see there's something fishy going on, but even if he wanted to expose it, he shouldn't have done so in front of the two of them.
Isn't this just making them fight?
That really shouldn't be the case.
But given how far Feng Jingnian's husband had gone, he had a premonition that his husband's "experience card" was probably about to expire.
Back at the villa, Su Xi had just entered the living room when she received a call from China.
Upon seeing the caller ID, she greeted Feng Jingnian and answered the call while going upstairs.
The person on the other end stammered and hesitated, rambling on about various things, before finally getting to the point.
"Xixi, there's something I don't know whether I should say or not."
Su Xi locked the bedroom door and the first thing she did was rush into the bathroom and take off her suit jacket.
Looking at her reflection in the mirror, her collar was ripped open, revealing most of her emerald green bra.
The distinctive masculine scent emanating from the expensive suit wafted into my nostrils.
In an instant, all the scenes from the private room flooded into her mind, and Su Xi couldn't quite describe the feeling in her heart.
She was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn't hear what Ye Qingqian on the other end of the line had said.
Ye Qingqian didn't hear Su Xi's reply, so she asked again, "Xi Xi, I shouldn't have said this, but... you have the right to know."
Su Xi snapped out of her reverie, turned on the speakerphone, and put the phone aside.
While taking off her clothes, she said casually, "Just say it. Dragging it out like a lady isn't like you."
Ye Qingqian chuckled, but thinking about what she was about to say, her tone became slightly heavy, and she finally spoke hesitantly.
"Did you know? Luo Anya's child is Feng Jue's. Now everyone's saying that the paternity test report was forged by Feng Jue."
Upon hearing this, Su Xi's smile instantly froze.
She had already taken off the dress that the man had torn in her hand, and she was hesitating whether to throw it away.
She didn't understand why she was reluctant to throw away a dress that was already tattered, but the moment she heard Ye Qingqian's words, she didn't hesitate to crumple the dress into a ball and throw it into the trash can.
With a "thump," Su Xi's almost suffocating breathing finally eased the moment she saw the clothes being thrown into the trash can.
Ye Qingqian, unaware of Su Xi's situation, continued, "At first, I didn't believe it. But... do you know? Luo Anya lost her child, and Si Beicheng said it was caused by Feng Jue deliberately delaying the process."
Feng Jue didn't want to acknowledge the child, and didn't want another woman to give birth to his child, which is why he refused to help when the child was dying.
But doesn't this further confirm that the child is his? Otherwise, why would he feel guilty? Sigh, it was just an innocent little life after all; Feng Jue is truly ruthless.
At this point, Ye Qingqian sighed. Noticing the eerie silence on the other end, she immediately regretted her hasty words and cautiously asked,
"Xixi, are you alright?"
Su Xi's nonchalant voice quickly followed, "I'm fine, it's just that the child is so innocent. Besides, what could possibly happen to me? I've already said it before, Feng Jue and I have nothing to do with each other anymore."
She said that, but her heart was throbbing uncontrollably.
That man slept with Luo Anya while also harassing her, and he even swore he would marry her and make her his girlfriend. It's ridiculous that she actually believed him.
This further illustrates that he treated her as a plaything for casual amusement.
He was just playing with her and fooling her from beginning to end.
Su Xi felt waves of discomfort in her heart and had no energy to chat with Ye Qingqian. She mustered her spirits and said a few words before finding an excuse to hang up the phone.
the next day,
From the moment Su Xi first saw Feng Jingnian, she knew he was preoccupied.
Something's wrong with him.
But since he didn't say anything, she had no right to ask him.
They were at most a contractual couple, or even less than that; they were a complete sham couple.
If he doesn't say anything, she won't ask; she'll just pretend she knows nothing.
The two of them ate and worked together in a superficial way, though their relationship was strained. Although Feng Jingnian still treated her with great care and spoke to her gently, Su Xi could clearly feel that the distance between them seemed to be growing further and further.
Feng Jue betrayed her and had a child with someone else, let alone Feng Jingnian.
However, although Su Xi tried her best to clear her mind, she still felt a lump in her throat, and her hand holding the mouse gradually turned white and trembled slightly.
She got up to pour herself a glass of warm water, then went for a walk in the garden to feed the butterfly carp.
Ye Qingqian called again, and Su Xi thought for a moment before answering.
Ye Qingqian rambled on about various things, and unsurprisingly, she ended up bringing up Feng Jue again, saying, "Xixi, the child in Luo Anya's belly is Feng Jue's. This news has spread throughout high society."
Feng Jue only said that he would find an expert to verify the authenticity of the paternity test report, without mentioning that he would use the fetus for paternity testing. Everyone said that he was too afraid to do so.
Sigh, now he and Si Beicheng have fallen out. Si Beicheng is doing everything he can to find evidence, wanting to nail Feng Jue to the pillar of shame as a scumbag.
I have a feeling that things are about to change in Los Angeles in the next day or two; there's definitely going to be some big, juicy gossip.
Su Xi pursed her lips and simply gave a soft "Mmm".
If it is proven that Feng Jue disowns the child, deliberately caused the child's death, forged a paternity test, and slandered Luo Anya, Tianjue's stock price will definitely be severely affected.
However, this has nothing to do with her; it's all his own fault.
Su Xi thought this way, and she said this way.
Ye Qingqian could hardly believe her ears; she was so impressed she wanted to give Su Xi a thumbs up.
"Xixi, your tranquility is so great you could cultivate immortality. I'm no match for you. I'm so angry with Feng Jue."
I used to think so highly of him, and I even wanted to set you up with him. It was such a terrible mistake.
"A man who can't control his lower body is not worth having."
Su Xi echoed her sentiments repeatedly, appearing extremely carefree.
Unfortunately, Ye Qingqian couldn't see how stiff and forced the smile on Su Xi's face was.
Su Xi originally wanted to stroll in the garden to clear her mind, but the more she walked, the more depressed she became.
Just as she was about to find an excuse to end the conversation, Ye Qingqian, unaware of what had happened, spoke first, "I'm busy here for a while, let's talk again when we have time."
After hanging up the phone, Ye Qingqian frowned and hesitated for a moment, her face showing visible wavering and struggle. In the end, she nodded to her assistant and said, "Let him in."
Soon, Gong Shaofan was invited in.
"Qingqian, I thought you didn't want to see me again." Gong Shaofan's voice was gentle, tinged with a deep bass.
It was full of teasing and seduction.
Ye Qingqian felt nothing but disgust. Recently, Gong Shaofan had some incredible luck; he had discovered a new business opportunity, and his company had grown significantly.
What's even more crucial is that Gong Shaofan's company is the best buyer for the main products currently produced by the Ye family.
The Ye family is very large, and there aren't many companies that can absorb its products; the Gong family is one of them.
That's why she had to endure her nausea and meet her cheating ex-fiancé.
Seeing that Gong Shaofan hadn't even sat down yet, and was already shamelessly trying to get close to her, Ye Qingqian's expression turned cold, and she adopted a businesslike tone.
"If you're here to discuss business, you're welcome. But if you're here to discuss personal matters, please get out."
Gong Shaofan simply smiled, his tongue pressed against his lips. He wasn't angry at all; on the contrary, he found Ye Qingqian's prickly little appearance extremely cute.
One glance is enough to make your heart flutter.
Just as he was about to say something, the office door was pushed open, and his assistant brought in tea.
Gong Shaofan saw that the person who brought in the tea was not the previous assistant, but Fu Heng.
He'd been through it all; he understood this young man's mind perfectly well. He just wanted to avoid 20 years of hard work and live off Ye Qingqian.
As he thought about it, his eyes darkened.
The two men's eyes met in mid-air, sparks flying and tension rising.
"Qingqian, you actually took in this kind of silly dog who has nothing to offer except for his looks? When did you turn your place into a garbage dump?"
You've heard about Feng Jue and Luo Anya's affair, haven't you?
Be careful, he might drug you one day, get you pregnant, and then take advantage of you to live off you and usurp your place. Don't say I didn't warn you.
