Chapter 65 Taking Her on a Business Trip
I replied: No, he just thought the reunion was over, so he disbanded it.
This reason seems a bit strange, but it is better than what Lian Qingqing said.
Lian Qingqing was really a natural choice and she started to talk to me about a lot of things, the central point being that Xu Zhengnan seemed to be single.
I answered perfunctorily, and she finally stopped chatting with me.
After arriving at the company, Manager He insisted on asking me to deliver the documents. When I arrived at the president's office, I found that Lu Xiaoyun was not there.
Secretary Li told me, "Madam, Secretary Lu has a cold and needs three days off."
"Oh, how many days will Mr. Shen be on a business trip?" I asked.
Secretary Li's face flashed with an unnatural look, "Three days."
I didn't say anything more. After putting the documents away, I went back.
I didn't receive any message from Shen Yixiao the whole day. When he went on business trips before, he would either take me with him or keep sending me messages, sending my location, and actively reporting.
After dinner at home, I drove out and headed straight for Feicui Hua Ting. I went there according to the address of Lu Xiaoyun that I had heard in the restaurant.
I waited downstairs of her house until the middle of the night, but I didn't see any lights on, which meant she was not at home at all.
Shen Yixiao took her on a business trip, and was afraid that I would be suspicious, so he asked her not to go to the company on the grounds of asking for leave. In this way, even if I found out that she didn't go to work, I wouldn't suspect that she was on a business trip with Shen Yixiao.
There was already morning light in the sky. I had stayed up all night but had no desire to sleep. Shen Yixiao and Lu Xiaoyun must have had a very happy night.
I was supposed to go to the company, but I didn't want to go, so I sent a message to my manager asking for leave and drove around aimlessly.
When I passed a small alley, I stopped, as if I saw the night many years ago when Shen Yixiao was surrounded by his enemies and a knife was stabbed at him, and I stood in front of him desperately.
That incident caused me to bleed heavily and I almost died. After a long period of rescue, the doctors finally saved me from the clutches of death.
At the same time, I announced that I could no longer have children.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." After I woke up, Shen Yixiao held my hand tightly, his eyes were bloodshot, and his voice was very hoarse.
I was speechless and groggy, and could only listen to Shen Yixiao at the bedside, making promises to me, apologizing to me, and telling me the love and apology in his heart.
The past events are still vivid in my mind, as if it happened just yesterday. When I came back to my senses from my memories, my cell phone rang.
It was a call from Shen Yixiao.
I answered the phone, and his voice returned to its previous gentleness and affection, without any trace of the anger he had when he left yesterday morning. "Honey, are you up?"
"I'm up, and you?" I replied.
"I just got up and was about to eat something. Have you had breakfast? Be sure to remember to eat. Your stomach is not in good condition and you can't be hungry." The reminder was full of concern. I could imagine the expression on Shen Yixiao's face when he said this.
Just as I was about to reply, a woman's murmur suddenly came from beside him, like a sigh from someone who had just woken up and stretched.
I immediately asked, "Why is there a woman's voice next to you?"
Shen Yixiao's tone remained unchanged, without a bit of nervousness, "I just went out, and a girl passed by. Wife, do you not trust me so much now?"
A man who had cheated on his wife a long time ago took his lover on a business trip and spent the night with him, and asked me why I couldn't trust him.
The more Shen Yixiao acted as if nothing had happened, the more angry and disgusted I felt. A sense of shame filled my heart, and my patience at this moment seemed more like cowardice.
I hated myself for being so obsessed with having a child that I didn't make any progress, which is why it was so difficult for me to leave Shen Yixiao.
"I'm just worried. You've already moved forward, but I can't seem to keep up with your pace." I controlled my emotions and spoke calmly.
Shen Yixiao's laughter was clear and sweet, and his tone was relaxed and casual, "Wife, what are you thinking about? No matter what I become in the future, our pace will always be the same and will never change."
He was lying to me, and he was lying to me so sincerely.
"Don't worry, no matter how beautiful the women I meet are, I will never do anything to let you down. In my eyes, they are not as good as a finger of yours."
As soon as he finished speaking, a woman coughed again.
Maybe Lu Xiaoyun was jealous after hearing this, so she coughed deliberately to express her dissatisfaction.
Without waiting for me to say anything, Shen Yixiao found an excuse to hang up the phone. I don't know if he was afraid that I would recognize Lu Xiaoyun's voice or that Lu Xiaoyun would be angry.
I looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside the car window, and my heart was filled with a gloom that couldn't be dispelled.
After walking around for a long time, I finally felt a little tired, so I returned home, had a meal, and then fell asleep. Aunt Yang called me twice, but I didn't hear any of them.
When I woke up, it was already dark. I saw the missed call and quickly called back.
"Auntie Yang!" I spoke first politely.
"What's the matter?" Unexpectedly, the voice coming from the other side was Xu Zhengnan's.
I was a little dazed and dizzy, but I didn't feel awkward or restrained anymore. I asked naturally, "Xu Zhengnan, Aunt Yang called me just now, but I didn't answer. Where is she?"
There were footsteps coming from Xu Zhengnan's direction, and soon Aunt Yang's voice rang out, "Xiaoyue, it's me. I'm out of the hospital, so I wanted to ask you to come over for dinner. Thanks to you for saving me."
It turned out to be about this matter. I turned over and squinted my eyes and replied, "Aunt Yang, don't be so polite. No matter who saw that scene, they would help."
"I know, but we agreed to have dinner together before, but it never happened. You have to agree to it this time. Don't worry, your parents won't come." Aunt Yang knew that I was worried about this and comforted me.
Under Aunt Yang's persistence, I had to agree to go to her house again next time and have dinner together.
When I was about to hang up, Aunt Yang's voice continued to come from the other end, but she was not talking to me, but to Xu Zhengnan, "Look, Xiaoyue, they have been married for so long, and you don't even have a girlfriend, sigh."
"At first I thought you would be with Xiaoyue. I had long considered her as my daughter-in-law. I never thought that now you two don't even have basic contact."
"Zhengnan, don't you have a girl you like?"
I listened to Aunt Yang constantly urging Xu Zhengnan to get married. Even though I was not present, I felt awkward and quickly hung up the phone.
When he was a student, Xu Zhengnan was very popular and many girls liked him. Sometimes the elders would joke that he wouldn't have to worry about getting married when he grew up.
Some people would joke about him and me, saying that we should just get together.
My serious father was most afraid of me falling in love too early, but every time he heard this joke, he would not get angry, and would even nod.
In his heart, Xu Zhengnan is a very outstanding boy and will be a good man worthy of trust when he grows up.
Thinking back on these distant stories, I feel lost. If it weren't for Shen Yixiao, I would have always followed Xu Zhengnan, and maybe we would have really become husband and wife.
