Too far away, this woman so close yet so distant...
Su Xiaong looked at him,
"Don’t ask , I don’t know, I don’t even know how many things you’ve kept from ... I don’t know how many Chu Jiao’s have been around you all these years."
"Su Xiaong."
Yin Shixiu reached out and pinched her chin, "You are truly heartless."
Tears silently stread down Su Xiaong’s face along the tear streaks. She forcefully turned her face away from his hand,
"Yes, how could I speak to President Yin like this? What kind of person is President Yin? Which woman wouldn’t rush to please and serve you?"
"I, Su Xiaong, indeed got lucky, spending one night with you. I should be eternally grateful to you, because you didn’t dismiss with a check, but instead married ..."
"In the end, I didn’t feel grateful, but instead beca more and more demanding with you... isn’t that heartless?"
Su Xiaong was still mocking, not knowing whether she was mocking him or herself.
Yin Shixiu’s teeth were grinding noisily.
"Fine, let’s divorce."
This was the last thing Yin Shixiu said before leaving.
Su Xiaong cried alone in the garden for a long ti, but after crying, don’t the days still need to go on?
————
The next day, she took the children to Ocean Park.
The third day, Claire took care of the children, and she went to school as usual.
In the evening, she consulted a lawyer about divorce procedures.
Fourth day... Fifth day...
The two had no contact whatsoever.
At this mont, outside the large house on the 27th floor of Royal Wharf, Lily keyed in the password and opened the door.
Once inside, Lily felt like she had entered the wrong place, went out again to check the door number, and then stepped back in.
The room was filled with smoke, making Lily cough repeatedly...
"Sir?"
Claire had already told her about Su Xiaong and Yin Shixiu’s divorce.
Lily was really shocked by the news, having been fed their ’dog food’ daily, now she’s being told they are getting divorced?
"Mr. Yin? Are you ho?"
After a long while, the door suddenly opened, startling Lily, and following the sound, she saw Yin Shixiu erging from within.
"You’re here?"
"..."
Lily could not imagine the person in front of her was Yin Shixiu.
His face was unshaven, eyes sunken, complexion awful, looking very haggard and thin.
"Sir, you... how many days have you not gone out?"
Yin Shixiu didn’t reply, only saying, "Clean up and leave."
"What about dinner?"
Lily asked again but got no response... she could only start cleaning.
The main living room, the side room, almost all the ashtrays in the bedroom were filled with cigarette butts, the kitchen was clean, but opening the fridge, Lily frowned, wanting to ask, how many days ago are these leftovers from...
After cleaning the house thoroughly, Lily was sweating profusely.
Was this what a ho becos without a mistress?
Lily shook her head vigorously.
Though Mr. Yin asked her to leave after cleaning, an inexplicable worry lingered in her heart...
After so thought, she knocked on the study door,
"Co in."
Yin Shixiu’s voice sounded normal, but as Lily pushed the door open, another wave of smoke greeted her.
He was working...
Heaps of docunts were piled on the desk...
Lily was just about to speak when the doorbell rang again...
"Go get the door."
Yin Shixiu seed to know who it was.
Lily rushed to open the door,
"Ah! Lily, you’re back!"
The person entering was Yang Rui, wearing a thick blue short-down jacket, thin jeans, and a pair of round glasses sliding down his nose, with fogged lenses...
He was holding a notebook and a stack of thick docunts...
"Mr. Yang..."
Yang Rui had been here a few tis, so they knew each other.
"Where’s your boss?"
"In the study."
"Oh, okay."
Yang Rui hurried towards the study, then quickly turned around,
"Since you’re back, make so food, he’s not eaten properly for four or five days."
"..."
Lily was shocked, "Sir, he..."
"You ask , I’m just as confused, I ask him and he says nothing, nobody knows what’s up between him and Sue, he’s drowning in work, and we’re the ones who suffer, with him being insane."
Yang Rui joked and complained a bit.
But inside he was more worried about Yin Shixiu than anyone else.
"By the way, you should be able to contact your lady, Claire is with her, right? Give her contact info later, secretly, okay?"
Yang Rui whispered.
"...Oh."
Lily went into the kitchen, contacting Claire while making noodles, asking more things beyond the lady’s current address.
That’s when she found out...
Their dispute had reached the point of divorce.
She had been working here since Su Xiaong’s family lived in London.
The warmth of this family made anyone want to have a ho like theirs; having a husband like Yin Shixiu, having adorable children like Shuangshuang and Huang Huang...
They shouldn’t be apart.
That was her only thought.
Mr. Yin and Mrs. Yin cared so much about each other, loved each other so deeply...
They shouldn’t have co to this.
Thus, Lily made the noodles and boldly entered the study.
Yin Shixiu glanced at her and asked coldly, "What’s up?"
"Sir, I made noodles, please eat a bit."
"Leave it there."
"Sir..."
"Anything else?"
"I don’t understand."
"..."
"Before I took leave, you both had reconciled, how co when I returned, you were..."
Yin Shixiu raised his eyes and laughed lightly, with heavy sarcasm,
"Who told you we reconciled?"
Lily was startled, confused, staring blankly at Yin Shixiu,
"On the day I left, the lady ca back in the morning and said you had reconciled! And the day before, she spent the afternoon in the kitchen making soup and pastries, brought it over to you in the evening, and you finished it all, even praised her cooking, didn’t you?"
"Ca back in the morning?"
Yin Shixiu was stunned, what soup, what pastries?
When did she ever bring him dinner?
Lily saw Yin Shixiu’s confusion and beca even more puzzled,
"The day after you argued, the lady said she had to find a way to please you, asked to teach her how to make delicious food, then sent it over to you, ca back the next day and said you had reconciled... but fell ill afterward..."
"..."
