Colleagues laughed, "Shu Nian, you are so lucky, your husband really loves you."
The second half of the sentence that was not said was, of course: Not only that, but she actually had a lover like Young Master Ye. How could she not be lucky? Moreover, I just don’t know why Young Master Ye would fall for someone who has no background and is working hard even with an ordinary education
Shu Nian didn't respond to their words, just pretending that he hadn't heard them. Marriage is like drinking water, only you know whether it's hot or cold. Others can only see the gorgeous appearance, but only you can truly experience the pain and bitterness.

Two days later, Shu Nian received his salary. Thinking of the money he owed Ye Yan, he stuffed a small amount of money into an envelope while cleaning Ye Yan's house at noon and placed it on the coffee table.
The reason why she didn't give him the money in person was because Ye Yan suddenly disappeared in the past two days. There were no phone calls, no messages, and he would not appear in front of her.
Shu Nian thought that he was probably really trying to calm himself down. Perhaps, after waking up, he would find that, as she said, all the derailment between them was just caused by excitement and impulse.
The scene of the two of them almost having sex that night would occasionally linger in her mind, making her feel confused. However, she would try her best to restrain herself and not think about him anymore.
If I say I am not disappointed about his disappearance, I would be lying. But what does it matter if I am disappointed? Some feelings appear in life just to be missed.
Shu Nian sighed, packed up her things, and left the community. She didn't have to be on duty in the afternoon, so she took a direct bus at the hospital entrance and prepared to go back to Mus Apartment.
A colleague also got on the bus with her, and the two girls sat side by side in a row. Along the way, Shu Nian listened to songs and flipped through books. The exam date was getting closer and closer, and time was becoming more and more tight. She couldn't relax for a moment.
When the car was halfway through the journey, Shu Nian's shoulder was touched by a colleague.
"Shu Nian."
"Shu Nian, stop listening!" Then, the headphones were unplugged. Shu Nian looked over and looked at his colleague suspiciously, "What's wrong?"
"Don't look at me, look outside!"
"Um?"
"Look!" The other person stretched out his hand and pointed outside.
Shu Nian was curious and looked in the direction of her finger, and then he was stunned.
On the side of the road, there was a famous brand mall, and at this moment, Shu Nian's eyes were on a pair of beautiful people walking out of the mall. The two people, both of them were the pride of heaven, walked out of the mall side by side, and people couldn't take their eyes off them at a glance. Shu Nian naturally recognized the man at a glance, it was Ye Yan.
And the ones around him...
It wasn't Ye Lan, nor was it any of the women she had seen around him before.
Ye Yan was obviously accompanying her shopping, and he was carrying many shopping bags for her. They were talking and laughing along the way, and it was obvious that they were quite compatible. At least, in terms of appearance, they looked particularly compatible.
"That's Young Master Ye, right?" the colleague asked Shu Nian, looking at Shu Nian's expression inquiringly.
"… Maybe." Shu Nian replied calmly, sounding uncertain, but she was actually 100% sure. It was not until the two of them got into the blue sports car and it sped away that she gradually withdrew her gaze.
It seems that he has reaped the rewards of his calmness over the past two days.
"Is that Young Master Ye's girlfriend?" a colleague asked in her ear.
"Well, maybe."
"Don't you know? Aren't you very close to Master Ye?" The other party kept asking, seemingly unintentionally but intentionally. "They are such a good match! This is what we call a perfect match, a golden boy and a jade girl! Just looking at them makes me feel particularly pleasing to the eye, isn't it?"
Shu Nian did not answer, but put on his headphones again and opened his book. But suddenly, he could no longer concentrate.
All the words in front of him kept flashing, and finally, one by one, they were pieced together to form a man and a woman talking and laughing.
Perhaps because the car was too crowded, she felt a tightness in her chest that made her a little breathless. She opened the window a little to let the wind in, but the feeling of tightness in her chest did not dissipate even a little bit.

the other side.
Xiang Group, inside the president's office.
Xiang Muyang sat back in his chair in frustration. The latest project failed again, because of the three-way siege by Ye Yan, Tang Jifeng and Bai Jinyan, the Xiang Group had no chance to breathe.
Bai Jinyan had been in politics for a short period of time, and had made great achievements. Later, for some unknown reason, he suddenly went into business. Unexpectedly, he was also unrivaled in business. Although Ye Yan's company was still young, with Bai Jinyan's help, it was not difficult to encircle and suppress the Xiang family.
Xiang Muyang looked at the gloomy sky outside the window, his hands tensed. If Ye Yan thought that if he forced him like this, he would let go and divorce Shu Nian, then he underestimated him!
"Chengtian, come in!" Xiang Muyang pressed the internal line and called his assistant.
The assistant immediately pushed the door open and walked in, "Boss Xiang."
"I asked you to help me reserve a table at Tianmu Restaurant for tomorrow's meeting with Mr. Pei. How's it going?"
"It may be difficult to book the skylight." The assistant explained: "When I called just now, I was told that Mr. Pei's favorite box No. 08 has been reserved."
"Who reserved it? Offer a high price and ask the other party to give it up."
The assistant looked embarrassed and said, "I'm afraid that won't work."
"If there's anything wrong, just say it directly. Why are you hesitating?" Xiang Muyang was impatient and frowned.
The assistant considered it for a while, but still said: "That box was booked by the old man of the Bai family. I heard that the guests invited to the banquet are the political Xu Yiming family. They are mainly inviting the daughter of the Xu family. It seems that she is in love with Ye Yan, and now they want to invite the parents."
When Xiang Muyang heard this, he sat up straight, as if he had regained his spirits. "You mean tomorrow?"
"Um."
"What time is it?"
"About 7 o'clock."
Xiang Muyang hesitated for a moment and said, "Help me find a way to get Box 07 here. No matter how much it costs, you must get it here!"
"Yes, Mr. Xiang." The assistant didn't know what he was planning, but he still agreed and went to do it.

That night.
Shu Nian lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. Even late at night, she still had no desire to sleep. She simply sat up and read a book. However, she didn't know what was wrong with her. The exam was coming up, but she had no intention of reviewing. Her heart felt like it was burning, restless and restless. It was like being thrown into the bottom of a lake, cool as water.
She sat at the desk, looking at the moonlight outside the window, then her eyes lowered and unconsciously fell on the mobile phone beside her.
The phone was always very quiet. There was no sound at all in the night. Shu Nian picked up the phone, played with it for a while, and finally put it back quietly.
Recently, several publishing houses have been talking to me about publishing this book. I am not very interested in it. I don't know what everyone thinks about physical books. If no one is interested, I won't bother to publish it. Because I am so lazy~~
