He closed his eyes helplessly, longing for the days when Zhou Chunhua was around.
At that time, he could focus all his energy on himself, and Zhou Chunhua did all the big and small things at home, and she was also the one who coaxed the old lady.
He only needs to come back occasionally for a meal, and Zhou Chunhua is as happy as an employee who has been rewarded, dancing with joy.
After that meal, Zhou Chunhua would work even harder to take care of the house and would be more willing to make the old lady happy.
Ring ring ring...
Liao Nanxing picked up his phone; it was Lao Liu calling.
I pressed the answer button, and Lao Liu's hoarse and unpleasant voice came from the other end.
"Old Liao! What are you doing?"
Liao Nanxing said unhappily, "I just got home and was about to eat! What about you? Why are you thinking of me now? Aren't high school teachers all very busy?"
"I happened to be in Jiang City on a business trip, and I took the opportunity to visit my teacher today. We got into a good time, and my teacher wanted to see everyone, so I notified everyone in Jiang City. My teacher also said he hasn't seen you in a long time. Are you free? Why don't you come over for a get-together?"
Liao Nanxing's expression froze.
He suddenly remembered that he hadn't visited his teacher since he had a falling out with Zhou Chunhua.
You know, he used to visit his teacher every month without fail.
But... he looked at himself in the mirror. This awful appearance...
"Old Liao? It's alright, it's alright. If you're really too busy, that's fine. I'll put in a good word for the teacher."
"No rush, no rush. Where are you? I'll be right there." I should have known better than to say I just got home.
After confirming the address, I hung up the phone.
Liao Nanxing began to groom himself, washing his hair, face, and shaving.
Then he took out the face mask that Zhou Chunhua had bought for him and put it on his face.
As he passed the kitchen, he instructed the nanny, "Aunt Liu, turn off the stove and iron my shirt first. Oh, and iron that gray suit too."
Aunt Liu immediately took off her apron, washed her hands, and went to do it.
"Anan? Are you going out?" Su Mu stood up nervously.
Liao Nanxing nodded: "My college classmate is on a business trip to Jiang City. It was a last-minute gathering, and my teacher is also there, so I can't not go."
"A class reunion? Then I'll go with you." Su Mu turned around and was about to go back to her room to change her clothes.
"Wait. If it's not convenient for you, then don't go."
"I'm not experiencing any inconvenience!"
"You're heavily pregnant, you don't need to run around with me. Besides, I don't know what time I'll be back. Eat your food and go to bed early."
Su Mu felt a sense of doubt rising in his mind.
She stepped forward and said coquettishly, "We're getting married soon, aren't we? With your classmate's blessing, we'll definitely be even happier."
"I told you, it's a class reunion today, so it's not convenient to bring you along." Liao Nanxing walked past her and went to the restroom.
Su Mu's already uncertain feelings became even more anxious.
She followed him and gently wrapped her arms around Liao Nanxing's waist in front of the sink.
"Anan, Aunt Liu is leaving soon after she finishes cooking. I really don't want to be alone with Mom because my baby is very emotionally unstable."
You know, it's not that I want to argue with Mom, it's just that she's always finding fault with me, forbidding me from doing this or that. And I can't control my emotions. Please take me with you, okay? Please! I promise I'll wait for you obediently on the side."
Liao Nanxing wiped the water off her face and pulled Su Mu's hand away.
"I told you, it's not convenient to take you today." After saying that, she went to the bedroom.
After Zhou Chunhua moved out, he and Su Mu moved into the master bedroom.
Su Mu threw away everything Zhou Chunhua hadn't taken, treating it all as trash.
Su Mu originally wanted to replace all the furniture, but after learning that he was moving, he decided to make do with what he had.
After changing his clothes and fixing his hair, he picked up his briefcase and car keys and came out of the bedroom.
Then I saw Su Mu standing at the door, already dressed and wearing shoes.
What are you doing?
"They want to go with you."
Su Mu went up and took Liao Nanxing's hand, swaying her body and acting coquettishly as before.
Liao Nanxing used to be most susceptible to her charm.
But the next second, Liao Nanxing withdrew his hand expressionlessly.
It's like... it's like she's something dirty.
"Mumu, can you not be so willful? I told you, today is a temporary class reunion. Apart from the teachers, it's just a bunch of old classmates. I'll take you there to figure out what's going on."
If you don't want to be alone with Mom, then have Aunt Liu stay and keep you company. I'll pay her for overtime, like three shifts! What do you want to eat? Have her cook it; if she can't cook, she can buy it.
As he spoke, he had already put on his shoes.
Su Mu suddenly pushed against the door.
He said coldly, "You're lying! Tell me, don't you have another woman outside? Liao Nanxing, how can you be so heartless to me? I'm carrying your child, enduring physical pain, and you're actually cheating on me with another woman!"
"What nonsense are you thinking? There's no other woman here! Get out of my way!"
"No way! Unless you tell me why you're so adamant about not taking me with you?" As a woman, Su Mu had long noticed Liao Nanxing's change.
He was less willing to touch her, especially lately, when she tried to please him in bed, he would use this as an excuse to push her away.
She and Liao Nanxing had been together for seven years! Having endured it for seven years, she knew all too well how strong his sexual desires were.
But for the past two weeks, he hasn't touched her even once! This is enough to show that he has another woman outside!
"Su Mu! Stop being unreasonable!"
"I'm being unreasonable? Liao Nanxing, can't you even put a little effort into lying to your wife? Have you forgotten that you used to lie to Zhou Chunhua in the same way before, and then came to me for pleasure?"
But let me tell you, I'm not Zhou Chunhua, I'm not so easily fooled! Today I'm going to see which shameless slut dares to set her sights on my man!
As he spoke, Su Mu reached out and took Liao Nanxing's phone.
"That's enough! I've been tolerant of you because you're pregnant! Don't push your luck!" Liao Nanxing dodged and backed away.
Seeing that Liao Nanxing didn't dare to make a move, Su Mu grabbed his briefcase and desperately tried to reach Liao Nanxing's other pocket.
Liao Nanxing's face finally turned cold after he had nowhere left to retreat or avoid.
With a loud slap, he directly slapped Su Mu across the face.
Su Mu was dumbfounded.
She covered her face, tears streaming down her face in disbelief.
"You...hit me?"
Coming to her senses, Liao Nanxing clenched the burning heat in her palm, pushed Su Mu aside, and rushed out the door.
Once in the car, he slammed his briefcase onto the passenger seat.
He couldn't believe that he had lost control to the point of hitting Su Mu.
What's even stranger is that instead of feeling ashamed, he felt a sense of relief.
Liao Nanxing even began to believe what Xu Xiuzhen said: women need to be beaten; once they are beaten into submission, there will be no more trouble, and the house will be peaceful.
...
Soon, Liao Nanxing drove to the hotel.
He straightened his clothes as he stepped out of the elevator and pushed open the door to enter.
However, the next second, his triumphant smile froze on his face...
