Chapter 965 Rumors
Tonight's banquet was naturally filled with elegant attire and a joyous atmosphere. The women were all dressed up to look radiant and dazzling.
Because Su Xiao no longer looked the same as before, she wasn't as outstanding in this place where there was no shortage of beauties. But Yun Che was different. He was so handsome that it was hard for him not to attract attention. Su Xiao beside him also became the focus of the night.
When the wives of politicians, wealthy socialites and ladies gathered together, gossip was inevitable, especially the wife of a deputy mayor in the same government department, who was a little older than Su Xiao. The last time they had a party, she felt that Su Xiao was aloof and did not have a good impression of her. So she started chatting with several familiar wealthy ladies around her.
"This is how the world is. Men with money will go out and have affairs. Look at that one. I heard that his family background is very prominent, but he still has to endure the pain of this. Don't look at their loving couple. Who knows what's going on behind the scenes? Yunshi is so young and handsome, and there are many women throwing themselves at him. How can he really not be tempted by such beauty? I can believe a cat that doesn't eat fish, but a man who is not lustful? Haha..."
They didn't know that Su Xiao knew lip reading, so even if she couldn't understand every word they said, she roughly knew what they were saying.
My mood suddenly became bad.
With a gloomy face, he looked at them vaguely.
They felt that since they were too far away, Su Xiao couldn't possibly hear their conversation, so they continued chatting without restraint, all of which was saying that Yun Che must not be as abstinent and affectionate as he appeared, and that he must be as restless as other men in private, and have a confidante outside.
Su Xiao's mood was getting worse and worse, so she simply went to the bathroom, but she didn't expect that the two women also went to the bathroom and started talking about her quietly again.
"Mrs. Wang, let's tone it down. I don't know why, but I feel like Mrs. Yun can see we're talking about her. She doesn't look very happy."
"No way, she's so far away, it's not like she has super-hearing ability, how could she hear what we're saying? At most, she's just feeling insecure and thinks we're discussing her, but she has no evidence, so she can't do anything about it. I just can't stand her aloof demeanor, as if her husband is the only one in the world who loves her the most. Haha, if she was really that worried, she wouldn't have followed us all this way with a big belly. She's just worried about her husband being all alone here!"
"That's a bit strange. I heard that Yunshi often turned down many social engagements just to go home with her. Last time, the secretary had a banquet and invited Yunshi to go. We had originally agreed, but then Yunshi suddenly changed his mind and didn't go. The secretary was very unhappy about it, but because he came from the capital and had connections there, she was able to hold back from getting angry at him."
"It's probably because of this willful Madam Yun. Look at her, she's already thirty years old, but she still thinks she's a little girl, always acting like a spoiled brat with Mayor Yun. She never even considered that she's the wife of an official. What she should do is be virtuous, put her husband first, and be a good wife so that he can work hard outside without any worries."
"Same person, different fate. Who can blame her for her powerful family background? She has been promoted all the way in Yun City. Although she has her own abilities, it is also because of the support of the Zhao family. Even if she is disgusted with her, she dare not do anything to her."
"Anyway, he's just being pretentious, but things that are forced won't last long. Yunshi isn't high enough right now, and he still has to rely on her family. If his position gets higher and higher, he won't need her anymore. Will he still have to look up to her for everything then?"
"Forget it, this has nothing to do with us. Let's not talk about her anymore. What happens in the future is their family's business. Let's not talk about her when we go out. It would be terrible if we alerted City Yun. Anyway, City Yun still values her very much, even if it's just for show."
"Okay, let's not talk about her then!"
They had already left, and Su Xiao sat quietly on the toilet seat in the small cubicle, her whole body stiff.
She hadn't expected that rumors about her and Yun Che would spread like this.
Was it because they themselves couldn't enjoy this kind of happiness, so they maliciously wished bad things on others? Or was there something between her and Yun Che that made them think this way?
It turned out that there were so many things about Yun Che that she didn't know.
For the past half month, he came back on time every day and tried to spend time with her on weekends. She took it for granted and enjoyed his company without ever thinking about whether he was really that free.
She remembered that before coming here, her mother had reminded her many times that Yun Che would be very busy with work and would not be able to take care of her at all.
But she didn't take it seriously at all.
Could it be that she was just as they said, worried about him and wanted to follow him even though she was pregnant?
No, she couldn't doubt Yun Che!
Even though some of what they said made sense, she should have believed Yun Che more.
Beep beep——
The phone rings.
The caller ID shows it's my husband.
Su Xiao stared at the ringing phone and didn't answer it.
The phone continued to ring a few times. Su Xiao took a deep breath before answering it.
"Girl, where are you?" Yun Che's anxious tone was clearly revealed on the phone.
Su Xiao held the phone, tears streaming down her face unconsciously.
“Su Xiao?” Yun Che couldn’t help but feel even more puzzled.
"I'm fine, I'm in the bathroom." Su Xiao sniffed and said.
"Which bathroom are you in? I'll pick you up there."
"No, I'm fine. You...just wait for me inside. I'll be back soon."
“Then be careful.” Yun Che warned.
Su Xiao nodded, hung up the phone, and then came out of the small cubicle.
She stood in front of the sink, staring at herself in the mirror in a daze. After a while, she wiped the tear marks around her eyes and walked out of the bathroom.
Yun Che was waiting for her at the entrance of the banquet hall. Seeing her, he strode forward and hugged her. "I'm sorry, I was just discussing something important with them."
Su Xiao shook her head and looked at him, "Don't be like this, I'm fine."
Yun Che silently looked her over, feeling that something was amiss with her, but then realized there was nothing special about her. Su Xiao had already done her best to calm down and return to normal, so he didn't delve into it. He said, "Are you tired? How about we go back?"
Su Xiao was startled and asked, "Is it okay? They haven't left yet."
"It's okay. Someone always leaves first. What follows is some socializing. I just ignore it."
"Let's stay a little longer," Su Xiao said. Seeing his sword-like brows slightly furrowed and a complex expression flashing across his eyes, she took his arm and said with a relaxed and cheerful expression, "Since I want to be your good wife, I naturally can't ask for special treatment. Those women can accompany their husbands in dealing with things, so I think they can learn something."
Yun Che couldn't help but smile, "Girl, I told you that you don't have to compromise for me. You are different from them, so you don't need to imitate them."
"How is it different? Do you look down on me? We are all wives of officials. What they can do for their husbands, I can certainly do too. So, you are not allowed to look down on me!" Su Xiao pouted and said angrily.
