Chapter 465: Chapter 465: Voicing Inner Thoughts_1
“Yixue, Xiao Ning, what… what do you want to do to me?”
Chen Shiyu’s voice was filled with allure, as she purposely tossed her hair back and reclined, legs crossed to reveal a vast expanse of fair skin, her face a picture of charm and seductive sensuality.
The more tempting she appeared, the more she tried to divert their attention.
Xu Yixue and Ye Xiaoning both let out scoffs. Being women themselves, they certainly weren’t interested in ‘taking advantage’ of her.
Besides, they had already had their fill more times than they could count.
“Shi Yu, still trying to conceal things from us?” Xu Yixue said with hands on her hips and an eye-roll.
Ye Xiaoning cheered from the side, “Spill the beans already, confession brings leniency, resistance brings severity.”
“Are you guys out of your minds? What could I possibly hide from you?” Chen Shiyu’s acting skills were top-notch, and after a brief internal struggle, she started to feign innocence.
“I don’t care, you can’t even fool Xiao Ning, let alone me. Tell us what happened,” Xu Yixue persisted stubbornly, clearly not willing to let it go.
“What do you want me to say? Honestly, there’s nothing wrong. I think you’ve been too exhausted these past few days, a bit hypersensitive. You’ll be fine after some sleep,” Chen Shiyu resisted resolutely, continuing to equivocate.
“Your little mouth is pretty tough,” said Xu Yixue, suddenly revealing an evil grin and giving Ye Xiaoning a knowing wink, who then grinned wickedly in return.
The two women reached out with their fingers splayed toward Chen Shiyu’s graceful body.
“You’re bullying me…hahaha…stop tickling…”
Under the nefarious onslaught of their fingers, Chen Shiyu writhed and laughed, almost out of breath, yet she couldn’t escape their clutches and eventually had to beg for mercy.
The two women stopped and warned with furrowed brows.
“If you don’t tell us, we’ll have to level up our techniques.”
“Hehehe… I could play with this leg for a year, and with these breasts, I could indulge for a decade,” Ye Xiaoning displayed her ruffian nature, brazenly laughing.
“Consider this a loss for me; next time I won’t let you off easy,” Chen Shiyu said, not giving in despite the defeat, also cheering herself up before letting out a sigh, “It’s not that I wanted to keep secrets from you; I just didn’t want to worry you by getting you involved. The call was from him…”
Soon enough, the two women understood.
Xu Yixue wrapped her arm around her waist to comfort her, “Shi Yu, with me here, don’t be afraid. If he doesn’t come to Zhonghai, fine, but if he does, I’ll make sure he regrets it.”
“That’s right, with brother-in-law here, there’s nothing to fear,” Ye Xiaoning cheered, waving her fists.
“I know,” Chen Shiyu nodded, aware that Xu Fan wouldn’t ignore her plight, but she was still somewhat worried.
Because the issue she was facing was no minor trouble, or else she would have sought advice from her sisters long ago.
The two women could see her concern and comforted her with a few more words until Chen Shiyu finally relaxed. Then they moved to the living room to see Xu Fan sitting on the couch.
Xu Yixue walked over and took a seat next to him, disclosing what had happened to Chen Shiyu.
“I understand, this is my area of expertise, I can handle it,” Xu Fan said casually, his tone ordinary but reassuringly confident, as if everything was under control.
Xu Yixue couldn’t help but relax, for Xu Fan, it seemed a mere trifle.
After Tongtong had finished her bath, Xu Fan coaxed her to sleep, but the little one got hooked on his stories about the Cultivation World and clung on, refusing to let go.
Xu Fan had no choice but to share snippets of his encounters and life experiences in the Cultivation World, carefully selecting those fit for storytelling and sanitizing the language.@@novelbin@@
In the Cultivation World, he lived a total of five thousand years, a life filled with battle and cultivation, enduring countless storms of blood and darkness, much of which was unsuitable for Tongtong to hear.
Even writing it as a web novel would get you a 404, because the content is too cruel and bloody for reader acceptance, and passing the censorship might be a major hurdle.
After Tongtong fell asleep, Xu Fan also left the room, and his eyes immediately became sharp and ice-cold.
The people brought by Xu Tianhu from “that place”…
Xu Fangcheng deliberately coming to Zhonghai to “avoid disaster,” also looking for trouble with him…
There was also the problem of Chen Shiyu…
Within a few days, they would come one after another.
It’s really a case of trouble coming from the skies while sitting at home, not even able to enjoy a moment of peace.
Fortunately, with Xu Fan’s current strength, these issues were not yet a threat to him, just a bit of a hassle.
The next day, Xu Fan continued to play the role of an “idle shopkeeper” and “daddy fanatic,” taking Tongtong to play with friends in the neighborhood, scouring the snack street at noon, watching animated films at the cinema in the afternoon, and having fun in the amusement park; Tongtong was thoroughly overjoyed.
It was not until eight o’clock in the evening that Xu Fan, as usual, went to the company to pick up the three women from work, but this time, only Xu Yixue got into the car.
Ye Xiaoning also wanted to join, saying she was the personal bodyguard and could not leave Xu Yixue at will.
Thankfully, Xu Fan was prepared and had bought a nicely sliced roast duck for her, so Ye Xiaoning forgot about her charge and devoted all her attention to the battle with the roast duck.
Of course, Xu Fan did not trust the two women to go home alone, so he sent Xu Dan to escort them.
As for his family of three, they headed towards another destination.
Xu Yixue, who was in the back seat with the baby, watched as the little guy, having played fiercely all day, was now utterly exhausted. As soon as he snuggled into Xu Yixue’s arms, he sweetly fell asleep.
Xu Fan also deliberately slowed down the car to allow Tongtong to sleep more soundly and securely.
“Xu Fan, where are we going?” Xu Yixue asked, looking out the window at the somewhat unfamiliar night view.
“You’ll find out when we get there,” Xu Fan chuckled.
“Isn’t that obvious?” Xu Yixue retorted with a charmingly annoyed snort and an alluring roll of her eyes.
Xu Fan felt a bit uneasy, so he covertly kept an eye on the rearview mirror. Seeing her like this, his heartbeat involuntarily quickened. At the same time, he pressed ‘send’ on his phone: “Get ready!”
After sending the message, Xu Fan grew nervous as he gazed at Xu Yixue and took a deep breath, “These past years, have you been well?”
Xu Yixue was stunned for a moment but quickly understood, a shadow passing over her eyes. Yet, she maintained a nonchalant façade and said offhandedly, “Why ask that? I’ve been living very well.”
“Xue, I’m sorry,” Xu Fan knew she was feigning strength and earnestly apologized with pursed lips.
Xu Yixue’s eyes instantly reddened, feeling all the grievances she had buried in her heart for years beginning to seep out. Overwhelmed with bitterness, she hurriedly turned her head to look out the window.
Xu Fan knew Xu Yixue had shouldered too much over the years and hadn’t been living well, so he continued, “If I had known you were pregnant, I definitely wouldn’t have given up on myself, I would have taken good care of you, and kept all the malice of the world away from you.”
“What’s the point of saying this now? It’s all in the past, and I never blamed you. If you hadn’t rescued me, I might have been ruined by those bastards by now, or even turned into a skeleton.”
“Besides, I never imagined that we… after that time… would result in pregnancy. How could you be so accurate, you scoundrel. I was incredibly anxious when I found out, not knowing what to do, as I had never even dated, and then I ended up pregnant with a baby.”
“I couldn’t sleep all night, tossing and turning, even considering terminating the pregnancy. I’m so young; I should have a more wonderful future, not let this beautiful mistake ruin my whole life. But when I woke up and saw my youthful and beautiful reflection in the mirror, I hesitated again. If my child is as youthful and beautiful as me, I shouldn’t erase her from this beautiful world. Otherwise, I would regret it for a lifetime.”
“I didn’t dare to talk about this with anyone, even less so let my family find out because many things had to be done according to the family’s arrangements, and the family always prioritizes interests above all – they would definitely have forced me to abort the child. Helplessly, I could only go to America by myself. Life in America was indeed tough, extremely helpless, but fortunately, Xiao Ning was by my side, sharing my burdens. Otherwise, I’m afraid I would have collapsed.”
For the first time, Xu Yixue spoke her heart out. As she narrated, tears flowed freely, staining her makeup.
