Chapter 82
After Liu Bo entered the office, Xu Xiuhe instructed him to take Zhengzheng out. Liu Bo understood - when the wife was here, having the son around would be a nuisance.
The atmosphere seemed a bit off, but he didn't dwell on it now. Such an adorable child, why not play? Liu Bo took the child and left the office, not wanting to disturb the married couple.
"Now that Zhengzheng is out too, tell me, are you still thinking about divorcing?" Xu Xiuhe's tone had an accusatory edge.
Shen Yin was a bit unhappy. How dare he ask like that? "I just said I wanted to do furniture, and you got so angry."
Shen Yin sat on the sofa, acting like she had done nothing wrong, sitting upright. She hadn't said anything else.
"So have you thought about divorcing these past few days?" Xu Xiuhe's anger subsided a bit as he stood there speaking.
Shen Yin felt awkward. Ever since she decided to accept Xu Xiuhe, she had never thought about divorcing. But to admit out loud that she didn't want a divorce, she couldn't bring herself to do it yet.
"What do you think? I've already been sleeping in the same bed as you at night, and I've allowed you to stay at the villa. What more do you want from me?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Xiuhe suddenly bent down, embracing Shen Yin's shoulders with one hand and cupping the back of her head with the other. His right leg went up on the sofa as his left leg pinned down Shen Yin's legs, not giving her room to react, pressing his lips against hers.
Their eyes met, and this time, Shen Yin didn't resist.
The sensation was soft. Since their brief kiss before, Xu Xiuhe had been constantly thinking about this feeling. Even in his midnight dreams, he would recall it. Now, he had finally attained his desire.
He had been waiting for her to accept him. Her lack of resistance this time, did it mean she had accepted him? That she didn't want a divorce anymore?
As their lips touched, the soft sensation drove Xu Xiuhe even crazier. He wanted more, and he did just that.
He overcame Shen Yin's lips and teeth.
Shen Yin had no time to resist. Even with her martial arts skills, there was still a significant difference in strength between men and women. Xu Xiuhe held her tightly, leaving her powerless to resist.
Finally, Xu Xiuhe got his wish.
Enveloped in the man's presence, Xu Xiuhe lost himself in the passionate kiss, gradually becoming immersed in it.
Shen Yin's body had gone limp, unable to break free. With Xu Xiuhe's face just inches away, his exquisite features left Shen Yin no chance to think of anything else. Shen Yin let out a soft moan, her voice sounding alluring.
Xu Xiuhe suddenly felt that something was off about his body. He paused, and Shen Yin seized the opportunity to bite his lip. Xu Xiuhe winced in pain, releasing his mouth as he leaned towards Shen Yin's ear and whispered softly, "Wife, I'll be waiting for you tonight."
After getting up, Shen Yin touched her own mouth, wiping away the lip gloss at the corners. She had mixed feelings - how could Xu Xiuhe do this to her, in the office of all places, acting so unreasonable? Especially those last words whispered in her ear, utterly suggestive, her face instantly flushed red.
Looking at Xu Xiuhe, he wore an expression of someone whose schemes had succeeded, smiling slyly, quite different from usual. "Wife, you weren't uncomfortable just now, were you?"
"How could you do that?" Shen Yin said resentfully.
"What did I do? Kissing my own wife is very normal, isn't it? Didn't you say you've allowed me into your bed? Can't I kiss you?"Xu Xiuhe was in a great mood. His wife didn't want a divorce, and he had an intimate moment with her too. Not bad at all.
"You call that just a kiss?"
...
"One minute."
Shen Yin was annoyed and left the office. As she was leaving, she heard Xu Xiuhe's words:
"Wife, drive slowly on your way back. I'll be waiting for you tonight."
Shen Yin's face stayed flushed red. Outside in the assistant area, a group of young ladies surrounded Zhengzheng, each utterance of "Sister" from him making them laugh endlessly.
Only Xiao Li'er sat at her desk, staring blankly at the computer in front of her, seeming dazed. Liu Bo standing nearby felt there was something off about her too.
"The wife is here," Yang Mo called out.
With her face still burning, Shen Yin picked up Zhengzheng, telling them she had to leave before heading towards the elevator.
"Why is the wife's face so red?" Yang Mo asked.
No one answered, but Liu Bo had noticed - not only was Shen Yin's face red, but her lips were too. It was pretty much as he had imagined.
"Xiao Li, come here for a bit," Liu Bo called out.
Xiao Li'er didn't hear him, still lost in her own world. She had been thinking that after being fired from this big company, no other company would want to hire her. If it really came to that, she might have to set up a street stall or work in a factory tightening screws.
"Little Li, what are you spacing out for? What's wrong, you look gloomy," Yang Mo patted Xiao Li'er's shoulder.
"The special assistant is calling you."
Only then did Xiao Li'er snap out of it and head to Liu Bo's office.
"Still thinking about getting fired?" Liu Bo looked at Xiao Li'er as he asked.
Xiao Li'er didn't have the energy to spar wits with Liu Bo like before, simply nodding glumly.
"Tell me, why does the CEO want to fire you? Didn't you already submit that romance proposal?"
"The CEO's wife wanted a divorce, and I found out about it. He said if a third person knew, he would fire me. But today, everyone in the company knows about it." Xiao Li'er still didn't know how this incident had leaked out.
"What, a divorce? That's impossible, how come I didn't know?" Liu Bo hadn't checked the group messages on his phone, so he had no idea what had happened in the group.
"It's true. Before, I was even helping the CEO come up with ideas to pursue his wife. But today, the news that the CEO wanted a divorce spread through the group, and a few hundred people know about it."
Liu Bo opened his phone and scrolled through the messages in the group. Sure enough, there were messages like "Don't believe rumors, don't spread rumors. How could this be made up? You must have heard wrong. The group messages are fake too. Didn't you see Zhengzheng being taken out by me? The husband and wife's relationship is good. How could they be getting divorced?"
"Really?" Xiao Li'er didn't believe it.
"Really. Didn't you see how red the wife's face was when she came out? Even her lips were more vibrant than usual. Their relationship is clearly good, don't overthink it. You won't be fired."
"Really?"
"Yeah, really. I've never been wrong about this before."
"But the timing seems too short, doesn't it?"
...
Liu Bo didn't know how to respond to that.
When Shen Yin returned to Qinghe Villa, she couldn't focus on work, her mind filled with thoughts of that afternoon's kiss and those words. What if tonight... how would she deal with that?
The more she thought about it, the more agitated she became. That kiss really made her body feel different from usual. Shen Yin could only start cooking to distract herself from her disorderly thoughts.
When Xu Xiuhe came back and saw Shen Yin in the kitchen with Zhengzheng in the living room, he was no longer afraid of Shen Yin beating him up. He took off his shoes, went to the kitchen, and embraced Shen Yin from behind, placing his hands on her stomach.
Shen Yin froze, halting her movements. Xu Xiuhe took advantage and kissed her nape, softly asking, "Wife, are you ready?"
