Chapter 106 Deliberate Testing
It turns out that I misunderstood.
I was so embarrassed that I dug my toes into the ground. I thought he wanted me to sit for a while, but I fell asleep while sitting there.
The food on the table hadn't been touched yet, and it must have gotten cold. I checked the time and asked, "How about I go get you another meal? There should be some left in the cafeteria at this time."
"I only injured my left hand, not my legs. " Xu Zhengnan walked to the table, opened the lunch box with one hand, and started eating without caring that the food was cold.
"But the food is cold." I think it's not a good idea to eat cold food in this weather.
He turned his head and looked at me, "I'm not that squeamish."
Okay, I was being too fussy.
Since he had already eaten, there was no need for me to stay here any longer, so I stood up and prepared to say goodbye.
"Xu Zhengnan, I'm leaving first. Thank you for saving me. I owe you a favor. If you need my help with anything next, just tell me." I know Xu Zhengnan doesn't need anything, but I still want to express my feelings.
Unexpectedly, Xu Zhengnan spoke very straightforwardly, "Really? I want the confidential information of Shen Yixiao's company, can you give it to me?"
This really stumped me, and I didn't know how to answer.
Seeing that I was in a dilemma, he snorted and laughed, "Let's go, I was just teasing you."
In fact, I was thinking, why not really help him, and after I go abroad, he can bring down Shen Yixiao's company, and then my new life will be complete.
But if I agree to him now, he will definitely suspect if there is something wrong with me. Last time, he said that he and Shen Yixiao had a good relationship and asked him not to meddle in other people's business. Now he is going to betray Shen Yixiao. Even a fool would think something is wrong.
"Take good care of your injuries." I nodded, gave him some instructions, and left in a hurry.
When I got home, Shen Yixiao hadn't come back yet.
He sent me a short video on WeChat. It was a dinner party he hosted. Almost all the people there were men, and he didn’t bring Lu Xiaoyun with him.
After dinner, I went to the studio alone to study painting. At the same time, I contacted the celebration company to communicate about the opening of my art store.
Without Shen Yixiao at home, I think I can even stop taking anti-depressant and anxiety medication.
In my last life, I couldn’t let go of too many knots in my heart. In this life, I have let go of them and feel refreshed.
At 11:30 pm, there was a knock on the studio door. Because I locked the door, Shen Yixiao couldn't come in. Only his voice came, "Wife, are you in there?"
I glanced around, and all the paintings related to Shen Yixiao had been cleared. If he came in now and saw all this, he would definitely think too much.
I quickly got up and went to open the door.
The moment the door opened, I walked out and closed the door again.
Shen Yixiao was obviously drunk. He reeked of alcohol, his face was flushed, his hair was a little messy, and on the collar of his shirt, there were several obvious red lip marks.
He didn't bring Lu Xiaoyun with him, so who left these lip marks?
"Why did you lock the door?" he asked with a frown, somewhat unhappily.
"I was afraid that the servants would come up and disturb me, so I locked it. What's wrong?" I asked as I walked downstairs.
Shen Yixiao followed behind me, but instead of answering my question, he said inexplicably, "Wife, I still like you with long hair. When the show starts, why don't you try a wig?"
I stopped on the stairs and looked back at Shen Yixiao who was standing two steps higher. There was a look of loss on his face, as if he was missing something that he had lost.
I have had long hair since I was a child, not just because Shen Yixiao likes it, but because I like long hair. If what he did was not so disgusting, I would not have cut off the hair I had kept for so long.
Before I could answer, Shen Yixiao came down and hugged me. His body was very heavy and I almost couldn't stand, but he held me tightly and didn't let me fall.
"Sometimes I really miss the first two years we were together." He buried his head in the crook of my neck, his voice a little hoarse.
But I don’t miss those impulsive and childish days. In my eyes now, they are just a joke.
Seeing Shen Yixiao drunk and immersed in sadness, I was indifferent. I just felt that he was very heavy and asked if he could let me go.
"Yixiao, you've drunk too much. Go to your room and rest first." I really couldn't stand it anymore, so I found a reason to make him let me go.
Fortunately, he didn't intend to continue talking nonsense with me on the stairs. Instead, he let me go and took my hand and walked downstairs.
After arriving at the bedroom, he suddenly hugged me and gave me a kiss smelling of alcohol, which I couldn't dodge.
Although I can drink, but when I smelled the alcohol on his lips, I felt very disgusted and couldn't help pushing him.
Shen Yixiao sensed my resistance. He didn't say anything, but just hugged me even tighter, as if he wanted to hold me tightly in his arms.
Just when I felt like I was about to suffocate, I pushed hard again, and my peripheral vision caught sight of the music box, and I quickly said, “Chen Yixiao, there seems to be something wrong with the music box that Secretary Lu sent!”
"What music box?" Shen Yixiao asked me back.
"There's something in that music box, do you know?" I pointed to the music box on the bedside.
Shen Yixiao then remembered that Lu Xiaoyun gave me a music box on my birthday. He let go of me, and the lust in his eyes faded a lot. A trace of worry emerged, "What is it?"
I walked over and picked up the music box, pretending to be depressed, "Do you think she gave the wrong gift? This gift was supposed to be for her boyfriend, but she gave it to me."
Shen Yixiao’s expression tightened, “What do you mean?”
I opened the battery cover of the music box in front of him, and the pregnancy test stick fell out again. I bent down to pick it up and held it in front of Shen Yixiao, "Look, there is a pregnancy test stick in here, and it shows that I am pregnant. Could it be that Secretary Lu is pregnant and wanted to give her boyfriend a surprise, so she gave it to me?"
When he saw the pregnancy test stick, Shen Yixiao's face was more colorful than the fireworks during the Chinese New Year, and it was also like the paint boxes in my studio were overturned and mixed together, very complicated.
"Yixiao, why don't we call Secretary Lu and ask?" I said again.
As I said that, I picked up my phone and prepared to call Lu Xiaoyun.
Shen Yixiao snatched my phone away. No matter how hard he tried to hide it, he couldn't conceal the nervousness flashing in his eyes. His usually superb acting skills were a bit off at this moment.
I looked at him with a puzzled look, "Yixiao, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Shen Yixiao's smile was very forced, "Nothing, no need to call, maybe she was going to give it to her boyfriend, but then she didn't know what to give you, so she just gave it to you and forgot to take out the little surprise inside."
I said "oh" meaningfully, dragging out the ending sound for a long time.
