Chapter 39: She Asked Me to Return to My Room to Sleep?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The two of us were shocked and quickly let go of each other.

I turned around and realized that it was Xu Xiaomei.

I heaved a sigh of relief and signaled to Yu Lan with my eyes. She quickly lowered her head and rounded around Xu Xiaomei before she scurried out of the lounge.

Xu Xiaomei was displeased. “I’m so busy, yet you’re flirting with a girl in the office?”

I snapped angrily, “Stop talking nonsense. She was my wife’s sister. She needs my help.”

Xu Xiaomei snorted. “A help that requires a hug? You’re not thinking of hitting on your sister-in-law, are you? Moreover, her face looked so red. It can’t be that simple!”

I felt a little embarrassed and quickly changed the topic. “She’s just grateful that I agreed to help and she’s feeling emotional. By the way, it’s time to knock off, right?”

Xu Xiaomei clearly had something on her mind. She frowned and said, “You can leave today. However, there’s a meeting the day after tomorrow morning. You have to go with me.”

I was stunned. “What do you mean?”

Xu Xiaomei sighed. “This is the first review meeting after the Upper View Garden project has been officially reinstated. Someone from the main headquarters will be here to listen to the report on the re-establishment. You know more about the construction site than I do, so you have to help me with the reporting.”

I finally understood and nodded. “Sure.”

When I returned home at night, my wife had already gone home.

But she didn’t seem to be in a good mood. She kept a straight face and I could feel her anger whenever she walked or spoke.

I waited until Qiqi was asleep before I went to take a shower.

While I was showering, the door of the bathroom suddenly opened.

I jumped in fright and quickly used a towel to cover myself. I looked up and saw that it was my wife!

“Honey, you…” I was shocked beyond my wits!

During this period, my wife had been very resistant to any form of physical contact with me.

Normally, she would also deliberately avoid any intimacy with me.

Even when she changed clothes, I was forbidden to enter the room.

Of course, she wouldn’t approach me.

But now, she approached me while I was in the shower?

She would definitely be able to hear me showering if she was outside. There was no possibility of her barging in by accident.

“What’s wrong? Can’t I brush my teeth? Why should you cover yourself? It’s not as if there’s something I haven’t seen before,” my wife drawled nonchalantly. She picked up her toothbrush and started brushing her teeth.

Feeling embarrassed and displeased, I quickly wiped my eyes and slipped out of the bathroom.

Once upon a time, she and I held nothing back from each other.

But as time passed, I was now extremely disgusted with being alone with her.

Not to mention under such circumstances!

“Wait, Zhang Teng.” I had just slipped out of the bathroom when my wife suddenly called out, “Come back to our room to sleep tonight.”

I paused, turning around in disbelief to see her standing in the doorway of the bathroom.

Because of the bald man’s request and the fact that I had chosen to stay on at Splendid Real Estate, she had been giving me the cold shoulder and even kicked me out of the bedroom.

And now, she was asking me to return to the bedroom?

Oh my god, what happened?

What shocked me, even more, was that the coldness in her eyes seemed to have diminished!

My mind was a mess. “Why?”

My wife raised her eyebrows. “What do you mean why? Don’t you want to sleep in the same room as me?”

Looking at her in her nightgown, whose curves were visible, I suddenly realized something.

It seemed like she was deliberately seducing me?

But how was that possible?

There was definitely something wrong!

Could it be that she had finally found her conscience and wanted to make it up to me?

If it were in the past, I would have rushed over and carried her into the master bedroom.

But now, looking at her, I wasn’t interested at all. In fact, I felt a little disgusted.

When I thought of what had happened between her and the bald adulterer, my stomach began to churn, and I felt like vomiting.

Fuck!

What did she think I was?

She kicked me out of the bedroom when she didn’t want to see me and summoned me back when she wanted to? Was I her dog!

A surge of anger rushed to my head. I said stiffly, “I better not. You’re expecting a baby and you need to rest. It’s getting late. I’ll sleep first.”

Ignoring my wife whose eyes had grown wide, I turned around and returned to Qiqi’s room.

After closing the door, I heaved a sigh of relief, feeling pleased.

I never dreamed that I would have the opportunity to reject her advances!

Outside, I heard my wife slamming the door.

Clearly, she was furious.

On Monday, after work, I left Xu Xiaomei’s office and prepared to head to the conference room to prepare for the first review session of the project.

I saw a beautiful figure entering the bald scum’s office.

I jolted slightly.

It was my wife!
