Chapter 51: Half a life gone
“The rest doesn’t matter.”
That was Wen Zhi’s inner thoughts. ng Fan stopped there and turned back to the main topic, asking, “By the way, why did your uncle take you to Qionglou?”
Wen Zhi said, “It was a coincidence, he happened to be there.”
ng Fan asked again, “So how did you deal with that incense you were affected by? Surely your uncle didn’t…”
“No,” Wen Zhi quickly replied, “Uncle called for a doctor.”
She dared not elaborate.
This incident, she intended to keep it to herself.
And take it with her to the grave.
ng Fan breathed a sigh of relief, “That’s good. Although Uncle is at the pri of his youth, he is an upright person, and would surely not take advantage of soone in distress. You’re safe with him, and that puts my mind at ease.”
Wen Zhi pursed her lips, wondering in her heart—was she really safe?
Perhaps not necessarily.
Sotis the way he looked at her, it was as if he wanted to devour her.
ng Fan was now much relieved, as long as Wen Zhi was safe, nothing else mattered. After asking around for a long while, he finally asked, “So, are you going ho today?”
Wen Zhi laughed, “Of course I am. Why do you ask such a thing?”
ng Fan laughed as well, “Being able to visit Qionglou once, I should at least stay for a night. After all, it is the only mansion at the foot of the city walls.”
Wen Zhi said, “I’m not staying, it’s not appropriate.”
ng Fan thought about it and indeed it was inappropriate, so he dropped the subject. Lastly, Wen Zhi asked ng Fan to help cover for her. No matter who asked about her, they should all stick to the sa story. ng Fan said, “No problem.”
Ending the call, ng Fan looked out the window.
“Eh?”
“Where’s the car?”
ng Fan stood up, focusing on the spot that should have had a Bentley parked, but now it was empty.
“Huaishen!!” ng Fan ground her teeth in anger, “Bastard!”
In just a mont of distraction, the car was gone. She had managed to follow it here today with great difficulty!
It turned out to be a wasted effort.
This man plays his cards close to the chest. She should have hired paparazzi instead of exerting herself. If she does not quickly capture photos of him eting his secret lover, divorce will remain out of reach.
ng Fan downed her coffee in one gulp, then went to settle the bill.
The cashier checked and told ng Fan, “Ma’am, your two cups of coffee have already been paid for by soone else.”
ng Fan puzzled, “Who paid?”
The cashier handed ng Fan a sticky note, “This was left by the gentleman.”
ng Fan took it and saw that the sticky note read: Yang—183XXXXXX
Just a surna and a string of phone numbers.
The writing of the character Yang was powerful and firm, and the string of phone numbers was written straightforwardly. ng Fan stared at the sticky note, puzzled. Who was this?
Could it be soone who fell for her at first sight, deliberately paid her bill without showing his face, and then left his contact to hook her?
Tsk, boring.
Either greet her in person, if handso, she might chat. An affair didn’t bother her, as she and Huaishen were leading separate lives anyway. If ugly, she would pretend she had never seen him, rejecting him outright and without dragging things out.
She despised this secretive approach the most.
ng Fan imdiately took out her phone and dialed the number from the sticky note.
After two rings, the call was answered.
ng Fan bluntly said, “State your na.”
The other party hesitated for a mont, then said, “Yang Xiu.”
ng Fan furrowed her brow. The na sounded vaguely familiar, but it might just be a false recognition, so she didn’t think much of it and directly told him, “I’m married, no disturbances, please. Also, co back for your coffee money. I don’t skimp on such small amounts, I pay for my own coffee.”
Yang Xiu, after hearing this, looked nervously back at his boss then replied to ng Fan on the phone, “Madam, I know you’re married and I know who your husband is, Mr. Rong.”
ng Fan suddenly beca alert, “How do you know so much? Who are you?”
“I am Yang Xiu, Mr. Rong’s assistant,” Yang Xiu said.
ng Fan: “…”
At that mont, she heard over the phone, Yang Xiu cautiously asking the man in the backseat, “Mr. Rong, should we go back to pick up your wife?”
Soon after, ng Fan heard the man say, “She can go back on her own.”
ng Fan freaked out, “Huaishen! I’ll strangle you!!”
Yang Xiu’s expression stiffened, it was too late to cover the phone’s speaker, he whispered a reminder, “Madam, the speakerphone is on, Mr. Rong can hear you.”
ng Fan: “…”
Breaking down twice in just a minute, impressive.
ng Fan took a deep breath, don’t be angry, her mammary glands are just glands, especially not worth getting upset over a despicable man. She quickly adjusted herself and calmly asked, “Yang Xiu, why did you leave your phone number?”
Yang Xiu imdiately explained, “It’s like this, madam, Mr. Rong knows that you always secretly follow him…”
ng Fan was stunned.
Huaishen knows she was tracking him?
Impossible!
She had always hidden herself very well.
Yang Xiu continued, “Madam must be concerned about Mr. Rong, that’s why she follows him. Just too shy to show up or to call Mr. Rong. So, Mr. Rong, fearing that you might lose track of him, instructed
to leave my number. If madam loses sight of him, she can contact . Mr. Rong will wait, and if madam wants to check on him at other tis, she can contact , and I will keep her updated on Mr. Rong’s schedule.”
ng Fan: “…”
Broken down three tis now!
She cleared her throat, “Who’s tracking him? Nonsense, I’m not that idle. Besides, how could soone as generous as
check on him? He can do whatever he likes, I don’t care.”
In the back seat, Huaishen opened his eyes, the lids shadowed with a light grey due to lack of sleep recently. His back-to-back schedule since returning to the country had been exhausting, but a short nap had sowhat revived him.
He could hear the speakerphone very clearly.
ng Fan’s haughty tone, one sentence after another, reached his ears, and after listening for a while, his expression was not too pleasant.
A mont later, Huaishen reached out, “Give
the phone.”
Yang Xiu imdiately passed the phone to Huaishen’s hand.
Huaishen turned off the speakerphone and held the phone to his ear, shouting, “ng Fan.”
ng Fan, having just heard Huaishen ask Yang Xiu to hand him the phone, wanted to hang up, but then she thought, what if he really had sothing to say, she’d miss it.
Now, upon hearing his voice, ng Fan felt a bit uncomfortable.
Listen to that distant tone, he’s not like that in bed, he’s an absolute pervert in bed.
A completely different person in and out of bed.
ng Fan began to issue threats, “Huaishen, just wait, I will eventually catch you red-handed in your affair, and this marriage, I am definitely getting a divorce.”
“Set on getting a divorce, are you that sure?” he asked.
“Of course.”
Initially, ng Fan thought, since Huaishen controlled the family business and was capable, he would naturally have the confidence to divorce her openly to marry his true love.
But, as it turned out, this despicable man couldn’t part with the benefits.
Considering that divorcing her would an losing the support of the ng Family, he didn’t want a divorce anymore.
“ng Fan, you still haven’t learned your lesson,” Huaishen’s voice on the phone turned cold and stern.
ng Fan rebelliously replied, “Don’t lecture , at least I have more backbone than you. I dare to bring up divorce, but you don’t.”
Huaishen reminded her word by word, “Have you forgotten the consequences of the last ti you brought up divorce?”
Last ti?
That was the day before yesterday?
She had rushed to Jin City to catch a cheater, but ended up being dragged to bed by Huaishen. She threatened to get a divorce, and he nearly broke her.
