Chapter 2 Great Acting
This is the eternal pain for Shen Yixiao and me.
In my previous life, I had fantasized countless times: if we had a child, would there be no betrayal?
Later, he put his and Lu Xiaoyun's child under my name and asked me to treat the child as the fruit of our union.
I tried my best to treat my child as my own. From the moment he was born to the time he could run and jump, I took care of him alone.
But he would call Lu Xiaoyun "Mom" behind my back, and sneak into Lu Xiaoyun's bed in the middle of the night to sleep with her in his arms.
I saw Shen Yixiao taking the mother and son out for a trip, and saw their happy photos. The place that belonged to me in the house became smaller and smaller, and gradually I seemed to become a transparent person.
"Wife, we can adopt a child. I love you. I love you whether we have a child or not. You are the most important person to me." Shen Yixiao hugged me tightly, his voice choked.
His parents died when he was young, and he was raised by only a grandfather. His grandfather passed away a few years ago, and I became his closest person.
If I left too, maybe he would feel lonely.
I know that if I ask for a divorce now, he will definitely not agree. I just said that on purpose to test his attitude.
"I just feel sorry for you. You won't find another woman outside and bring me an illegitimate child just for this reason, right?" I pushed Shen Yixiao away, staring into his eyes and asked.
Shen Yixiao's eyes flashed with guilt. He avoided my gaze for a moment, then regained his composure. "I won't. Don't let your imagination run wild. Why would I do that to you?"
Looking at those familiar eyes, I really admire his acting skills.
An hour ago, he was making love with Lu Xiaoyun in the first apartment we bought, and now he was taking me to watch the fireworks on our wedding anniversary and promising to love me forever.
I nodded, "Yeah."
I had nothing to say and could only watch him rot in front of me.
A straight divorce won't work, I need to take it slow.
After staying on the terrace for a while, Shen Yixiao took my hand and went down, “Wife, you take a rest first, I’ll go take a shower.”
He worked so hard with Lu Xiaoyun just now, he must be sweating profusely, and he would feel uncomfortable if he didn't wash himself clean.
When he went to the bathroom, his cell phone rang.
It’s Lu Xiaoyun calling.
I answered the phone directly without saying a word.
Lu Xiaoyun's voice was gentle, "Boss Shen, are you asleep?"
It doesn't sound unusual.
"He's taking a shower." I replied, "Secretary Lu, is there anything wrong so late?"
When Lu Xiaoyun heard that it was me, there was a smile in her voice, "Madam, today is the wedding anniversary of Mr. Shen and you. He specially asked me to arrange a fireworks show for you. The fireworks show has just ended."
I pulled up a sarcastic smile, "I saw it, Secretary Lu, you arranged it very well."
There was a pause, and then after a few seconds, he continued, "As long as Madam is satisfied, I have finished my report, and you can tell Mr. Shen for me."
I hung up the phone directly.
Lu Xiaoyun has been testing Shen Yixiao's bottom line. In her last life, she always tried to show her presence in front of me.
It’s a pity that Shen Yixiao favored me in her heart. In the end, she succeeded in making me discover their relationship, but failed to make us divorce.
But in the end she won, and moved into my house with her children, gradually marginalizing me and turning me into a decoration.
As soon as I hung up the phone, Shen Yixiao came out in a bath towel. He looked around and I asked, "Are you looking for your phone?"
I raised my phone and shook it.
The moment he saw the phone in my hand, Shen Yixiao's face changed suddenly, as if I was holding a bomb, and he came over quickly and took the phone back.
I took the initiative to explain, "Secretary Lu called just now to report on work, and I answered the call for you."
When he heard Lu Xiaoyun, Shen Yixiao became a little nervous. He tested me, "Really? Secretary Lu is a very dedicated person. She often handles work after get off work and reports to me. She didn't say anything else, right?"
I smiled, "No, just wishing us a happy anniversary."
Seeing that I looked calm, Shen Yixiao breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that I probably knew nothing.
He came over and hugged me, rubbed his chin on my hair, and said tenderly, "Wife, I am where I am today thanks to you, thank you."
As he spoke, he became somewhat emotional, lowered his head and kissed my lips, his big hands wandering over my body.
I held his hand, feeling sick.
Isn't he tired? You were so crazy at Lu Xiaoyun's place just now, and yet you still touch me when you come back.
Shen Yixiao was a little puzzled, “Wife, what’s wrong?”
"I've been taking medicine recently and the doctor told me to avoid having sex as much as possible to avoid blood deficiency." I made an excuse.
Ever since I realized I couldn't get pregnant, I have been seeking medical treatment and taking medicine, hoping that I could have a child. I don't ask for too much, just one is enough.
Shen Yixiao thought those drugs were too harmful to my health and had been trying to stop me from taking them. However, in the past six months, he and Lu Xiaoyun had become increasingly passionate, and his mind was no longer on me, so he didn't interfere with my taking the drugs.
Maybe I was a little abnormal tonight, which made Shen Yixiao worried. He didn't force me or stop me from taking medicine. Instead, he carried me to the bed and held me tightly to rest.
He likes to hold me in his arms and hook his fingers through my hair.
"Good night, my wife."
After a while, he felt sleepy, said good night to me in a daze, and fell asleep.
My phone rang, and when I opened it, I saw a message from my best friend Su Ying: Wow, I'm happy again, sister. Shen Yixiao is really willing to spend money. Tonight's fireworks show and drone performance cost at least several million.
Me: Aren’t you asleep yet?
Su Ying: How can I sleep? Playing with cell phone.
I know she couldn't sleep because she was jealous.
In my previous life, Su Ying knew that Shen Yixiao had cheated on me, but she still advised me to give him a chance. When Shen Yixiao went to meet Lu Xiaoyun, she specifically asked me to leave so as not to disturb the two of them.
Because in her heart, I am not worthy of Shen Yixiao.
No matter how Shen Yixiao treats me wrongly, I should be tolerant. It is my honor to be Mrs. Shen.
I once saw with my own eyes that she tried to throw herself into Shen Yi's arms when he was drunk, but was rejected.
Maybe she couldn't get it, so she felt resentful. On the surface, she applauded the love between Shen Yixiao and me, but secretly she hoped that my marriage would be unhappy and that I would be betrayed.
I didn't reply to Su Ying, but she kept sending me messages: Your fireworks show is on the hot search again, and everyone is praising you for being lucky, which is really awesome.
She threw over a few screenshots.
"Other people spend millions on fireworks for their wedding anniversaries, but I can't even earn that much even after working hard for decades."
"The rich finally get married, and all the cattle and horses see it with their own eyes."
"Does that blue moon represent Li Yue?"
“I reasonably suspect that Mr. Shen is advertising a certain laundry detergent!”
