Yin Shixiu took a deep breath and, after a long pause, said with so helplessness,
"If it’s not necessary, why should I bring it up? You were so sick that day, and talking about Chu Jiao at that ti just wasn’t appropriate, was it?"
"That day, she got drunk and ca to the office looking for . She was utterly wasted, and yes, I did take her to a hotel, but it was no more than half an hour before I returned to the office. Is there really a need to deliberately ntion this to you?"
His words, so perfectly reasonable, left Su Xiaong feeling truly helpless.
No more than half an hour... yet she waited outside all night, almost turning into a snowman.
Regardless of whether what he said was true or false...
One "not necessary," another "is it necessary"...
Su Xiaong’s heart grew even colder.
She looked up, staring at him seriously,
"How many things, exactly, are there that I don’t need to know and you don’t need to ntion..."
"..."
"You think your relationship with Chu Jiao isn’t important, so you don’t bring it up."
"I regard Chu Jiao as a teacher, an idol, a goddess, a role model to learn from, and you think that’s fine, so you continue not to ntion it."
"You two took your relationship to bed, rekindled old feelings, and I suppose letting know has no benefits? There really is no need to ntion it..."
Yin Shixiu wanted to explain, but for a mont, he had no idea how to start.
"Nothing happened between Chu Jiao and ."
In the end, that’s all he could say.
Yin Shixiu looked at Eric,
"Is her child yours?"
At this, it was Qin Hui who beca ashen-faced...
The young girl was completely confused. In just these few minutes, it was as if she had stepped into another world. Why couldn’t she understand anything these people were saying?
Did Su Xiaong quarrel with her husband?
Was Cherry pregnant?
And how did the child get tied to Eric?
She slowly withdrew her hand from Eric’s palm, and Eric instinctively grasped it tighter, looking towards Qin Hui...
"Haha... what’s going on?"
Qin Hui asked foolishly.
The whole room was waiting for Eric’s answer, not just Yin Shixiu. Qin Hui, and also Chu Jiao sitting stiffly on the sofa.
There’s no need to take this drama to such a realistic extent.
Chu Jiao was such a clever and perceptive person that she almost imdiately caught the panic in Eric’s expression...
Could it really be... Eric...
Chu Jiao suddenly felt a wave of nausea, her stomach churning uncomfortably.
"It’s not mine."
Before Chu Jiao could even feel sick, Eric calmly said another sentence.
"Haha..."
Su Xiaong couldn’t hold it in and burst out laughing...
She actually, at this point, still had hope. Su Xiaong, you’re hopeless.
Yin Shixiu was also stunned, but he reacted quickly when he saw Qin Hui’s face relax beside Eric.
He knew Eric was lying.
Yin Shixiu sighed inwardly, knowing Eric was the type to own up to what he did, yet right now, he dared to do it but not admit it...
For no other reason than that he might truly have feelings for the girl next to him.
After Eric made an excuse for himself, he didn’t just irresponsibly leave it at that. He quickly said to Su Xiaong,
"But I admit, I did go to see Chu Jiao. When Arthur called , I was at a nearby bar, and after I arrived, Arthur left. I can vouch for Arthur on this, so, ng ng, rest assured, Arthur would never do anything to betray you."
Yin Shixiu breathed a small sigh of relief, though not completely, as he watched Su Xiaong turn and head to the children’s room...
He frowned.
"You’re lying..."
It was Chu Jiao who spoke up.
Eric looked at Chu Jiao... his blue eyes darkened,
"I’m not lying. Arthur is a married man. There’s no way he could spend the entire night with you at a hotel. He knows I’m familiar with you, so he contacted . But when I went, I didn’t stay long before leaving."
"You’re lying!"
Chu Jiao almost broke down.
She waved her hand wildly, knocking everything off the coffee table!
Yin Shixiu watched her coldly...
Eric pressed his lips tightly, his thin lips turning pale.
He held Qin Hui’s hand firmly, not letting go...
"You bastards, you hypocrites, you think I’ll believe whatever you say? I will find evidence, and I will charge you with rape!"
"I’d like to see you try."
Yin Shixiu said coldly.
Eric added, the inner turmoil and regret in his heart, apart from old friends, would be difficult for others to understand.
When Su Xiaong erged with Shuangshuang and Huang Huang, the siblings were already fully geared up.
But when they stepped out...
"Bad, bad person! My family’s things! Mommy!"
Shuangshuang saw Cherry kicking and jumping around like a madwoman, saw her family’s things scattered everywhere, and pointed directly at Cherry, yelling with a quite "catch the thief" vibe.
Xiao ng hadn’t had ti to co up with sothing before Prince Huang had already run over and gave Cherry a strong push!
How much strength can a child have?
But this action was enough to make Cherry angry.
In return, Cherry kicked Prince Huang!
Xiao ng imdiately scread,
"Are you crazy!"
No matter how quick Yin Shixiu’s reactions were, he couldn’t match this crazy woman’s ferocity.
Watching Chu Jiao kick Prince Huang and then attempting to grab him,
Yin Shixiu grabbed her wrist and threw her completely out!
Chu Jiao hit the shelf, and for a mont, her back hurt so much she couldn’t speak.
She curled up on the ground, unable to move, and Yin Shixiu hurriedly picked up Prince Huang,
"Where were you kicked?"
Prince Huang pointed at his hand, eyes red, but bravely holding back tears.
Yin Shixiu hurriedly hugged his son, heart aching.
Su Xiaong had truly seen enough and had enough.
"Put Huang Huang down, I’m taking them and leaving."
"You don’t trust , or Eric?"
"I don’t."
"..."
Eric and Qin Hui exchanged a glance, feeling quite awkward for a mont, but not as awkward as Richie who had been here all morning.
He wanted to leave, but Mr. Yin wouldn’t let him.
Clearly, the situation was far from over.
Yin Shixiu glanced at Chu Jiao who was sitting on the ground in a ss, her expression shocked and unsettled.
"Richie, she lives on the twenty-ninth floor, take her ho."
"I won’t! Yin Shixiu, you dare to do it but not face it!"
"Chu Jiao, I don’t care whose child you’re pregnant with, you’re finished."
Richie really didn’t know about Chu Jiao, but he was genuinely intimidated by Yin Shixiu’s statent.
The door opened, Richie dragged Chu Jiao out, he wanted to carry her properly, but unfortunately, Chu Jiao wouldn’t cooperate.
The door shut again, Yin Shixiu put Prince Huang down, pulled Su Xiaong’s hand,
"Let’s talk."
"..."
Inside the bedroom, the door closed, he looked at her,
"You really don’t trust ? What I said, what Eric said, and Chu Jiao’s reaction, do you really think that child is mine?"
Su Xiaong raised her head, her bright black eyes full of helplessness,
"Want the truth?"
"Tell ."
"I don’t trust you, Eric, or Chu Jiao."
She only trusts what she sees.
"..."
"Actually, at this stage, it really doesn’t matter whose child Chu Jiao is pregnant with."
"How can it not be important! Isn’t this what you’re concerned about?!"
Yin Shixiu was getting a headache.
"You’ve never been soone who is unreasonable and difficult to talk to; this isn’t like you at all."
"What is ? How should I be to be like myself?!"
Su Xiaong looked up and shouted at him, tears imdiately welled up, she wiped them away, sniffed, took a deep breath,
"Yin Shixiu, I think... loving you is exhausting."
"..."
Yin Shixiu was truly in an ice cellar at this mont, her words like a bucket of cold water pouring over him.
"Honestly, it was like this from the start, our marriage has always been too frivolous, no matter how much I try, I can’t enter your world..."
Su Xiaong calmly looked at the polished floor,
"Being with you, I’m very happy, I even once thought I was the happiest woman in the world. Bar none..."
"You’ve given so much for , and I’ve tried just as hard for you. But, let’s admit it, age, experience, status, they remain a chasm we can’t cross."
"What you consider unimportant is very important to , your complacent concealnt is a fatal harm to ..."
"The efforts I tried to overlook were actually accumulating bit by bit until they beca a thousand-pound stone weighing down, and... you won’t understand this, nor do I hope you’ll understand."
"..."
"I’m very grateful to you, thank you for everything over these more than three years. But... Shixiu, I feel like matters of love... sotis it ends in just a blink."
Su Xiaong smiled, and at the mont of turning away, in Yin Shixiu’s eyes, it seed to freeze into eternity.
For a mont, fear surged up from his feet and spread throughout his body.
