Chapter 2
I had Sheng Jing take me home.
The moment we walked in, I pinned him against the back of the door.
Things were just getting heated.
And he actually pushed me away.
His ears were red. “That’s not why I came looking for you.”
“Shen Shi’an, have you thought about me at all these past three years?”
“Yes. Are we doing this or not?”
His eyes brightened. “Everything before…was my fault. Can we start over?”
“Sure. Are we doing this or not?”
Sheng Jing gritted his teeth. “Is sex the only thing on your mind?”
“Yes. Are we doing this or not?”
“…We are.”
And just like that, Sheng Jing and I became a pair of adulterers.
At first, I’d felt a little guilty.
But Su Huai was spending half his time in City A lately.
It seemed to me that someone else ought to feel guilty.
At least I came home!
Then, two months later,
Su Huai came home looking exhausted.
He gathered me into his arms. “Finally done. I won’t have to go to City A for a while.”
What, had he fought with his dream girl?
When I said nothing, he sighed. “It’s my fault. I’ve been neglecting you while I arranged to buy a stake in Yantu Jewelry.”
“It’s all finished now.”
I was stunned. “Yantu Jewelry?”
Wasn’t that my favorite jewelry brand?!
Su Huai squeezed my earlobe. “Yes. I had them design a special piece just for you. You should have it next month.”
“I’m transferring all the shares to you. You’ll be a shareholder in Yantu from now on.”
“A belated second-anniversary present.”
I was a little dazed. “Then what’s going on with you and that dream girl of yours, Shen Hui?”
He frowned slightly. “What dream girl? Who’s been filling your head with gossip?”
“She’s Yantu’s chief designer. She’s the one who helped put me in touch with the right people.”
Oh, fuck.
What did that make these two months I’d spent cheating?
His bad luck.
I’d come this far. Might as well enjoy myself first.
But now that the business in City A was settled, Su Huai seemed determined to make up for neglecting me.
The amount of time he spent with me shot up.
Ever so understanding, I urged him to focus on work. No need to worry about me. I was happy. Not upset at all.
Instead, he stroked my brow and said, “You don’t have to be so accommodating with me.”
Wait. Su Huai hadn’t been like this before.
Whoever you are, get out of my husband’s body right now!
I asked cautiously, “You’ve seemed a little different lately.”
There was a warmth in his eyes I’d never seen before. “Yes. I didn’t know how to express myself before. I put you through a lot.”
He was quiet for a moment. “Shen Hui told me that love has to be seen and felt to count as love.”
Shen Hui, you’ve really fucked me over…`
