Chapter 30: Going to great lengths to steal fish
A smile appeared on Shen Yixiao's lips. He hugged my waist, and then asked Lu Xiaoyun with some displeasure, "Secretary Lu, why are you in a daze? My wife asked you to wipe your tears."
Lu Xiaoyun then took my tissue, wiped the tears from her face carelessly, and smiled a smile that was uglier than crying, "Thank you, ma'am."
"You're welcome. I see everyone is tired. Let's go eat something. I'll treat you." I skipped this topic and instead suggested having a meal together.
Lu Xiaoyun shook her head, “Boss Shen, Madam, you guys go ahead, I’ll go back first.”
I didn't try to keep her, I just told her to be careful on the road.
There was no strange expression on Shen Yixiao's face. After nodding to Lu Xiaoyun, he turned to Meng Zicheng and Liang Feng and said, "What do you want to eat? Your sister-in-law said she'll treat you. Think about what to eat quickly!"
The four of us chatted and laughed and went to a Japanese restaurant together. Meng Zicheng and Liang Feng did not show any guilt or remorse in front of me. Just like countless times before, we got along easily and happily.
After eating, Shen Yixiao and I went back home. He had drunk quite a bit of wine and was a little tipsy. As soon as he got home, he lay down on the sofa with his eyes closed, looking a little depressed.
If I hadn't gone with him tonight, he and Lu Xiaoyun would have been able to date. With Meng Zicheng and Liang Feng around, he wouldn't even need to hide. Even if he was photographed, he wouldn't be alone.
I broke his sweet dream tonight. It's normal to feel depressed.
I went upstairs to take a shower first, and when I finished my shower and wanted to go downstairs to find Shen Yixiao, the servant told me that he had gone to the study.
So I went to the study again. The tightly closed study door seemed to hide some secret. I couldn't push it open, and I had no idea what Shen Yixiao was doing in there.
"Madam, please go and rest. Mr. Shen may have to work overtime all night." The servant appeared behind me and advised me to go and rest.
"Lili, when did he go in?" I asked.
"Just...just half an hour ago." Lili's eyes were evasive, and it was obvious that she was lying.
My expression was serious, “Tell the truth, don’t worry, I won’t tell Shen Yixiao.”
Lili hesitated for a moment, then mustered up the courage to tell me the truth, "Madam, Mr. Shen is out, and the guy named Meng Zicheng came to pick him up, but he asked me to tell you that he is working overtime in the study, so don't wait for him."
After hearing what Lili said, I was stunned at first, then I couldn't help laughing, and my heart felt a little aching.
The man who used to report to me wherever he went, and would come home to find me even if he was seriously injured, for fear that he would not be able to see me for the last time, is now trying his best to find ways to cheat.
Lili looked at me with a hint of worry and sympathy in her eyes. She could also see that I was in a bad mood at the moment.
I waved my hand, "I know, go to bed."
After Lili left, I looked at the tightly closed study door. It should be that Shen Yixiao locked it directly from the outside, so I couldn't open it. If it were before, I would really believe that he was working overtime in the study. After all, there are a lot of things to do in the company. We don't have high education or qualifications. Everything is obtained by luck and hard work, so it naturally takes a lot of energy.
I went back to the bedroom and lay down to rest, but my mind couldn't calm down. It was full of various scenes from the past.
Shen Yixiao and I once loved each other so madly, and the betrayal now is so ironic.
Suddenly, Sun Xiaoling contacted me: Li Yue, have you received the invitation from the "Heartbeat Partner" program team? They said they would invite us as special guests and that we would just have to participate in a few segments in the second season.
"Heartbeat Partner" is the dating variety show that Shen Yixiao and I participated in before.
I replied: I haven’t received it, what’s wrong?
Sun Xiaoling: No way? I heard that all the members of our first season received it. Did your husband receive it but didn’t tell you?
Me: Maybe, I’ll ask him tomorrow.
Sun Xiaoling: Okay, let’s get together when we have time.
Me: Okay.
Then I opened Shen Yixiao’s Weibo page. Just yesterday, he reposted the official Weibo promoting the second season of "Heartbeat Partner", but he didn’t mention me, so I didn’t know.
His comments were all filled with envy of his and my romantic love. He would reply to the ones with the highest number of likes, and his words were full of praise and love for me.
I looked at those comments and replies, and for a moment I felt that Shen Yixiao was very torn, which made me feel terrible.
Just when I was lost in thought, Su Ying called me.
I was absent-minded and answered the phone subconsciously.
"Yueyue, I'm sorry." Su Ying blurted out an apology, and I came to my senses and frowned.
She then said, "I may have really damaged the dress when I tried it on, but I didn't know it at the time. I didn't do it on purpose. I denied it deliberately because I couldn't afford to pay for it. I know I was too cowardly and shameless. I'm sorry. I was also obsessed with the exhibition. I was angry that you didn't take me, so I told Shen Yixiao. You can blame me, but don't ignore me, okay? You are my best friend, no one else, I don't want to lose you."
As Su Ying spoke, she began to cry and begged me for forgiveness with sobs.
I don't want to forgive her because she is a time bomb. It is dangerous to keep her around. She might explode if I'm not careful.
I was just about to answer perfunctorily when she changed the subject and asked, "Where's Chen Yixiao? Is he at home?"
When I heard this question, I immediately realized something was wrong.
Su Ying probably saw Shen Yixiao again, so she came to test me.
I deliberately answered, "At home, he is working overtime in the study."
"At home? Are you sure?" Su Ying asked suspiciously.
"Yeah." I didn't hesitate.
Sure enough, Su Ying found a reason to ask me out. She wanted to apologize to me in person. I knew what her purpose was and readily agreed.
An hour later, I met Su Ying. She was standing at the entrance of a community, holding a cigarette in her mouth. When she saw me, she naturally handed me a cigarette. I shook my head and said, "I've quit."
She poked my wound habitually, "Preparing for pregnancy?"
I looked at her coldly, and after she realized what was happening, she apologized reluctantly, "I'm sorry, I forgot again."
She has not forgotten that I am infertile, and she even keeps it in mind all the time. Otherwise, why would she mention it so casually?
I ignored her and just looked at the gate of the community. If I remember correctly, Meng Zicheng lived here. If Su Ying saw Shen Yixiao here, it meant that he and Lu Xiaoyun had changed battlefields again.
I've already noticed something wrong with the apartment. It's not safe.
"Why did you ask me to meet here?" I asked deliberately.
Su Ying also pretended to be indifferent, "I'm waiting for a friend here, she lives inside, you stay with me for a while, let's go have a midnight snack?"
The friend she was waiting for was, of course, Shen Yixiao.
