Chapter 101 Chapter 101 "Did you miss me?"...
At ten o'clock in the evening, Shen Xingchuan had just finished a remote multinational meeting. After turning off the communication, the study room suddenly became very quiet.
He closed his eyes and reviewed the content of the meeting, unraveling the other party's true purpose hidden behind the hypocrisy and courtesy.
He had made some concessions before, but it was only to gain greater benefits, but the other party's appetite seemed to be getting bigger and bigger, and he really treated him as an easy sucker.
If it weren't for the need to save more time to prepare for the wedding, he could have played with her for another two months, but now he didn't have the leisure to continue this game.
After sending the final instructions to the person in charge of the relevant business, Shen Xingchuan turned off the computer, not caring at all about the disaster his actions would bring to the other party.
He just looked out the window calmly.
It was another cloudy night, and it looked like it would rain tomorrow. The flight to City S would most likely be delayed again. This little thing actually made him feel distressed.
The two of them were already rarely together, and now they had to postpone their meeting. His young and naughty wife should be happy, after all, she was so eager to leave him and throw herself into the arms of another man.
Shen Xingchuan smiled. His mood wasn't particularly bad. He had now completely accepted the fact that the other person would never fall in love with him.
It’s actually no big deal.
Just like every owner truly loves the beautiful kitten he raises, and gives his affection, time and money to the best of his ability, but the kitten has a very bad personality, arrogant, indifferent and selfish. Should the owner abandon her just because the kitten does not love him?
No.
The master will love her forever.
He just needs to hold on to what he likes.
The kitten's wishes don't matter.
Suddenly, his phone rang. It was a specially programmed notification tone. Shen Xingchuan turned it on and, as expected, received a routine report on Yao Yingxia.
He looked at it carefully and frowned slightly.
Yao Yingxia's schedule for the first half of the day was the same as usual: she got up at seven o'clock, had breakfast, wrote a paper in the library for two hours, and then attended a lecture.
This lecture was highlighted, with a note saying that she seemed to cry near the end, for unknown reasons, and no abnormalities were found around her.
Later, when it was lunch time, although Yao Yingxia went to the cafeteria, she didn't eat anything. After returning to the dormitory, she never left the room and has been lying in bed until now.
The notes reiterated that Ms. Yao's temperature was normal and she did not feel unwell, but she looked very tired.
Yao Yingxia's behavior today was indeed abnormal.
After all, his wife has always put her studies first. With her graduation thesis defense approaching, she has been staying in the library late into the night, and only takes a short break when she is with him on weekends.
Shen Xingchuan turned his attention to the text describing the lecture. Yao Yingxia rarely cried over trivial matters. What exactly happened at that time that caused her emotional breakdown?
With this question in mind, Shen Xingchuan sent someone to retrieve the surveillance footage from the incident, but the technicians returned empty-handed. The camera in the lecture hall had broken down a week earlier and hadn't been repaired yet.
Although this seems normal, S University has a long history and many of its equipment are too old, but he still has some conspiracy theories and thinks, is this really just a coincidence?
Just as I was wondering whether it was necessary to conduct an in-depth investigation, a message in a darker red color suddenly appeared above my phone.
This means that Yao Yingxia is sending text messages, and the content will be synchronized to the monitoring software in his mobile phone in real time.
The corners of Shen Xingchuan's lips immediately drooped.
In the past two years, he has seen too many chat records between Xiao An and her. No one knows how much energy and torture he has spent and endured to evolve from being furious and angry at the beginning to being as calm and heartless as he is today.
Even today, he still feels extremely unhappy when he sees Yao Yingxia contacting Xiao An. Although this unhappiness will be settled and repaid double after accumulating to a certain extent, he still feels sad and humiliated when he needs to endure it.
Shen Xingchuan took a deep breath, opened the monitoring software, and was stunned.
It showed that Yao Yingxia's contact was Xu Nian. He looked down and saw the specific content:
"Mom, it's almost the beginning of summer, and I haven't been able to eat the spring vegetables you made this year."
Shen Xingchuan almost immediately realized why Yao Yingxia was acting so abnormally today - Xu Nian's birthday was the day before the beginning of summer.
It turned out that she was missing her mother.
After finding out the reason why Yao Yingxia was in a bad mood and discovering that she had not contacted Xiao An, he felt a little relieved.
After relaxing, new questions came to my mind: What is the Haruka that Yao Yingxia mentioned?
*
As Shen Xingchuan's assistant, Xiaoliu has handled matters big and small for him, but he never expected that one day he would be assigned by his boss to purchase vegetables.
Time was running out, so Xiaoliu quickly sent people to inspect several organic vegetable gardens around City A on Friday morning and picked the one with the best quality and the most complete variety.
The immediate response was to arrange for an airlift to City S, and contact the farmers' market near Ms. Yao's home to put this batch of fresh vegetables, which had just been picked no more than five hours ago, on the shelves.
Shen Xingchuan arrived at S University at four o'clock on Friday afternoon. Yao Yingxia had received advance notice and was already waiting at the side door.
The two female bodyguards around her were dressed as students and looked innocent and harmless. Few people knew that they could knock down an adult man who had not received formal training with one punch.
When the driver stopped the car by the roadside, the two men who were originally chatting and laughing did not change their expressions. They just glanced over as if unintentionally, quickly confirmed the surrounding situation, and after realizing that there was no problem, they stepped forward to open the car door and let Yao Yingxia get in.
Almost at the moment the car door closed, a feeling of oppression came over her, and strong arms had already embraced her.
Shen Xingchuan kissed her forehead and asked with a smile, "Did you miss me?"
His voice sounded quite cheerful, and his eyes were just the right amount of warm, no different from before.
Yao Yingxia's calves were trembling slightly because of fear.
If Shen Qingyuan's information was correct and he really monitored his phone, how could he be so nonchalant?
Holding onto the illusion that Shen Qingyuan might be deceiving her, Yao Yingxia nodded perfunctorily.
"Why aren't you talking?"
Perhaps dissatisfied with her reaction, Shen Xingchuan placed his palm on her smooth and fair cheek, gently stroking it, and then forced her to raise her head.
It was obvious to the naked eye that Yao Yingxia was in a very bad condition. She exuded an air of exhaustion and death. Although spring had not yet passed, she was already like the dying grass in late autumn.
Shen Xingchuan felt a little complicated for a moment.
This Tuesday, he just learned that Yao Yingxia was planning to divorce, and he was so angry that he almost smashed the house. There was a very important high-level meeting in the group that day, but he left everyone and went to the fight club for a day.
After the intense exercise, he still didn't feel relieved, and was ready to find a random excuse to give her a good beating during this meeting to vent his remaining dissatisfaction.
But when he saw the text message she sent to her mother yesterday and her listless look today, his anger seemed to immediately become insignificant. Now he just wanted Yao Yingxia to have a good meal to make up for the insufficient nutrition she had taken in in the past two days.
Shen Xingchuan had never imagined that he could be so soft-hearted. He despised himself and found Yao Yingxia extremely hateful.
The girl was frightened by his sharp and complex eyes, and even her breathing became rapid, for she was afraid that he would lose control of his emotions and do something that she could not bear.
But Shen Xingchuan didn't do anything. After noticing how scared she was, his expression gradually softened. He just asked, "I heard you haven't eaten much in the past two days?"
Yao Yingxia lowered her eyes, not feeling relieved: "I have no appetite."
Shen Xingchuan didn't ask any further questions. He felt that doing so was a bit cruel, so he just calmly advised, "How can your body withstand not eating?"
Without him noticing, Yao Yingxia's fingers were clenched extremely tightly. Shen Xingchuan had always been very suspicious, so how could he not ask the reason?
Even though she had already believed most of what Shen Qingyuan said, further verification was still needed.
