Chapter 69 Why are you in my house?
Everyone looked as if they had suddenly realized something, as they all seemed to be expecting this result, otherwise they would not be able to have a good time either.
In this way, the gossips of the company can be silenced.
Shen Yixiao also started to work on my plan of opening my own store as he promised me.
Su Ying must have learned the news from Meng Zicheng and started to pester me. She wanted to form a partnership with me, the kind where I would provide the money and she would provide the labor. My WeChat and phone were bombarded with calls from her. I was so annoyed that I directly blacklisted her number to have some peace and quiet.
I have instructed the servants at home that if Su Ying comes over again, they should just tell her that I am not at home and not let her in directly.
——
Shen Yixiao and I regained our superficial calm, but we both knew that something had changed.
Beneath the calm surface of the lake, there are undercurrents.
In order to regain my trust, he behaved very well for a period of time. He went to work and went home with me every day. There was almost no extra work for him to do overtime or go on business trips. He was always by my side and took care of me in every possible way. Everyone who saw him would praise him as a good man.
A week later, Shen Yixiao couldn't sit still anymore. Meng Zicheng pestered him like a plague god and asked him to go out for a drink.
I looked at his messages one by one and asked him to go over.
“Wife, let’s go together.” Shen Yixiao put down his phone, a little worried.
"I'm not going. I want to take a bath and have a good sleep. You go, otherwise they will say you are disloyal." I pushed Shen Yixiao. Now I don't like him being around me. I feel disgusted and uncomfortable.
Sometimes when he is not at home, I feel calmer because I don’t need to pretend to be myself.
Shen Yixiao wanted to go very much. He had been feeling extremely anxious this week. He stayed by my side like a bodyguard, watching my face carefully, fearing that I would suddenly become upset or doubt him because of the photo.
After making sure that I really wanted him to go, he promised me that he would be back before ten o'clock and then left home.
As soon as he left, I immediately sent a message to Liang Feng: Where are you meeting?
Liang Feng: Don’t come over. If you want evidence, I can take a picture for you.
Me: Okay.
I didn't force it. I didn't want to abuse myself. I just wanted to keep these evidences and give them to Shen Yixiao as a divorce gift. Those dirty pictures kept reminding me to face the reality, not to be confused by Shen Yixiao's superficial gentleness, and not to forget what I went through in my previous life.
An hour later, Liang Feng sent me a few photos. Shen Yixiao had arrived. They were drinking in the bar, but Lu Xiaoyun was not there.
This surprised me a little. Didn’t he go out to date Lu Xiaoyun?
Aunt Yang's call interrupted my thoughts. I picked up the phone. Before she spoke, she sighed, "Oh, Xiaoyue!"
"Aunt Yang, what's wrong?" When I heard her tone, I felt uneasy, fearing that something had happened to my parents again.
"I just saw the news about your husband today. Who is the woman he is hugging? It's not you. You have short hair and she has long hair." Aunt Yang actually called me about this matter. She was very worried about my current situation. "Are you okay? Is he cheating on you? Don't keep it to yourself. Don't be afraid."
I was deeply moved by these words. I didn’t expect that Aunt Yang would consider so much after seeing the news and even call to comfort me.
"Aunt Yang, Shen Yixiao and I are fine, it was just a misunderstanding." I explained. I didn't want those acquaintances to know about this for the time being, especially those from my parents' side.
Aunt Yang added, "Then come to my place for dinner. Zhengnan is not at home today, and I feel lonely eating alone."
I looked at the time and it was a bit late to go over for dinner, but hearing her slightly pleading tone, I softened my heart and agreed. Anyway, Xu Zhengnan was not there, so it would be more comfortable for Aunt Yang and I to be alone.
Then I went out and rushed to Aunt Yang's house. I took a look at my parents' villa. It was dark inside and it seemed that no one was at home.
After meeting Aunt Yang, she told me that my parents took Li Qingming to the movies tonight, so they were not at home.
I felt a little lost and didn't dare to see them, but I couldn't suppress my anticipation. I wondered if I could see them again one day and whether they could forgive me.
"Come on, I just prepared the meal, come and eat." Aunt Yang asked me to sit down. She was smiling and was very happy to see me.
I sat down at the dining table, which was filled with sumptuous meals, all of which were my favorite foods. Aunt Yang and my mother have always been very good friends. I remember that when we were young, they would exchange cooking skills together, and I would chat with Xu Zhengnan beside them. The scene was warm and beautiful.
So the food Aunt Yang cooks is very much to my taste and is the taste I have been craving for all these years.
I had a poor appetite due to depression and didn't like to eat often, but tonight I ate very happily. Aunt Yang picked up some food for me while chatting with me happily, "Xiaoyue, if you like the food I cook, come over often. Don't worry, I won't let your parents find out. When you think it through and want to see them one day, I'll go and ask them for you."
I forced a smile, but my heart was heavy.
Maybe until the day I leave Shen Yixiao, I will never see my parents again.
As long as they are living well, I, their disappointing daughter, should not go back and provoke them anymore.
After dinner, Aunt Yang washed some fruit for me to eat. She remembered that the clothes in the washing machine had not been hung out to dry, so she asked me to eat first while she went to hang them out to dry.
As soon as she left, the door to the living room opened.
Xu Zhengnan was standing at the entrance changing his shoes and didn't notice me. Suddenly he saw my shoes and was startled at first, then frowned. He turned his head and looked across the living room. When he saw me, his brows knitted together and his face was cold. "Why are you in my house?"
"Aunt Yang asked me to come over for dinner. Have you eaten yet?" I stood up immediately. My relaxed mood disappeared when I saw Xu Zhengnan, and the familiar tension crept into my heart.
In front of him, I felt like a little kid who had done something wrong and had no confidence.
Xu Zhengnan took off his windbreaker and hung it on the floor-standing clothes rack, then took off the watch on his wrist and walked towards me. His hair seemed to be cut a little shorter, and the hair in front of his forehead was slightly combed up, revealing a pair of thick eyebrows and a full forehead. His face was very clean and neat, with no flaws. He was a very handsome man.
He said "hmm", sat down on the sofa, picked up the fruit on the plate and started eating, without even saying a word to me.
On the other side of the sofa was the coat I brought with me, the one he lent me last time.
