Deep into the night, Tang Shaofeng who was travel worn and rushed home immediately went to his bedroom. Seeing the little person on his bed sleeping soundly, his expression was warm.
The anger he felt from Ye Fu slowly melted when he returned home to see Xia Wan. Only then did Tang Shaofeng quietly go to the bathroom and wash off the smell that disgusted him.
Returning to Xia Wan's side once again, he discovered that the other party's expression was dishonest. He couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth as he smiled lovingly and gently.
Xia Wan's back was facing Tang Shaofeng, and her entire body was exposed under the blanket. She was wearing a pink nightgown, and her jade legs were crossed together to press onto the bed.
Her beautiful body was faintly discernible under the transparent cloth. What Xia Wan did not know, was that even if it was her attractive back figure, it would still make Tang Shaofeng go crazy for her.
Tang Shaofeng's eyes burned with passion as he carefully got onto the bed, and extended a hand to try to pull Xia Wan into his embrace.
However, the moment his arm touched Xia Wan's fragrant shoulder, his eyes wrinkled painfully, and a feeling of guilt suddenly rose in his heart.
The photos of Ye Fu flashed before his eyes one by one like a movie clip.
Suppressing the impulse in his body, Tang Shaofeng painfully retracted his hand, and only covered Xia Wan with a blanket, then pulled away from him and laid down quietly.
The person sleeping slowly opened his eyes, Xia Wan's lips were slightly opened, as though she wanted to ask her something.
She felt that after Tang Shaofeng had met her, he had distanced himself from her like he was hiding from a plague, so she was unable to say anything in her heart.
Biting his lip, Xia Wan didn't say anything. She pretended to be asleep and didn't know it, but she turned around and snuggled into Tang Shaofeng's embrace.
Tang Shaofeng's body stiffened, he did not dare move, as he was afraid of waking up Xia Wan.
With a bitter smile on his face, the only thing he wanted to do now was to put aside all his mental problems and hug Xia Wan for a good night's sleep.
When Xia Wan realized that Tang Shaofeng was finally willing to repay her, she felt much more at ease. In the darkness, the corners of her mouth slightly raised upwards.
It was already late in the night, and Xia Wan, who was pretending to be asleep, was already snoring evenly. However, Tang Shaofeng, who hated her for hugging him, simply did not have the heart to sleep.
Frowning his brows in distress, Tang Shaofeng hugged the soft jade in his embrace, feeling that this kind of torture was kind of torture for him.
The reason why he didn't dare to touch Xia Wan was because he felt that he wasn't able to clean himself.
However, to him, Xia Wan was an irresistible temptation.
Therefore, his body temperature gradually increased, but he could do nothing due to the psychological burden.
Thus, he, who had his eyes open, continued to hug Xia Wan until daybreak.
A week later, Xia Wan's birthday arrived on schedule.
With an agreement in place, Lu Yaoyao took an early leave to rush to the Old Clan Residence to accompany Xia Wan in preparing the surprise for Tang Shaofeng.
The living room of the two families was arranged in such a cozy and loving way that Lu Yaoyao accompanied Xia Wan to go get a birthday cake. On the cake was written Xia Wan's birthday wish that she would become Tang Shaofeng's mother.
After everything was settled, Lu Yaoyao let out a long sigh of relief, "Alright Xia Bao, you can finally relax now, right? You don't even need to say it yourself to let Tang Shaofeng understand your intentions! "
The corner of Xia Wan's mouth rose shyly, and then she pulled Lu Yaoyao onto the sofa, "Great meritorious general, it's been hard on you, you should get some rest first."
Lu Yaoyao who accompanied him until six in the afternoon, and did not want to disturb Tang Shaofeng and Xia Wan's world, asked to go home.
He couldn't bear to see Lu Yaoyao leave, because Xia Wan knew that Tang Shaofeng wouldn't come back so early. "It's still early, what's the rush?"
"It's still early? Tang Shaofeng will be getting off work soon. " Lu Yaoyao raised her eyebrows, feeling that she shouldn't stay here forever.
Pursing his lips, Xia Wan looked calm but was actually a little lonely, "That's right, he has been working overtime recently, or he has a social meetup."
"Not today. No matter how busy he is, he will still remember your birthday. Xia Bao, don't worry, don't worry about your birthday." Seeing Xia Wan's low tone, Lu Yaoyao comforted her softly.
Seeing that Xia Wan was still depressed due to her questioning, Lu Yaoyao rolled her eyes and suggested to help her dress up.
Since he was going to create a man, Xia Wan would have to use all means necessary to make Tang Shaofeng unable to give up. With these thoughts in her mind, Lu Yaoyao advised Xia Wan to work hard for a long time.
In the mirror, Lu Yaoyao stood behind Xia Wan and jokingly said, "Xia Bao, I'm almost going to spurt blood from my nose."
Xia Wan unhappily rolled her eyes at Lu Yaoyao, who pulled on his lace nightgown, and asked uncomfortably: "What? Am I wearing this little too little?"
Laughing, Lu Yaoyao waved her hands and replied seriously: "No, no, very good, don't ever try to change it!"
The current Xia Wan only knew that the clothes on his body were too few, but he did not know that the her that was so gorgeous, was emitting an enchanting desire that would make men want to conquer her from the bottom of their bones.
Realizing that it was already 7 o'clock, Lu Yaoyao believed that Tang Shaofeng would definitely be back soon, since today was Xia Wan's birthday after all.
Thus, without further ado, she encouraged Xia Wan before leaving with a wicked smile on her face.
After Lu Yaoyao left, Xia Wan was the only one left in the empty house.
Xia Wan gloomily looked around at the holiday atmosphere in the room, secretly ridiculing herself for being unreasonable. Recently, she had grown more and more afraid of loneliness, and hated it more and more.
At 7: 30 in the conference room of the Tang building, an emergency meeting had just ended.
After the subordinates gradually left, Tang Shaofeng frowned as he looked at his phone, hoping to not receive any more "notifications" from Ye Fu.
The phone rang, causing him to subconsciously feel conflicted.
Tang Shaofeng hesitated for a long time, but he still couldn't find the right answer.
After a long while, to Tang Shaofeng, the suicidal sound had ended. But then the text message beeped again.
With furrowed brows, Tang Shaofeng picked up his phone. Tang Shaofeng realized that the message was from Xia Shuai, and heaved a sigh of relief.
Xiao Feng, did you know that today is Xia Wan's birthday? Help me say hello to her happy birthday, I hope that you two have always been peaceful and harmonious — After reading the contents of the short letter, Tang Shaofeng quickly picked up his jacket.
He was burning with impatience as he cursed himself how he could have forgotten such an important day. If not for Grandma Xia's reminder, he really wouldn't have remembered a single thing.
This was Xia Wan's first birthday after marrying him, he definitely could not let her down.
The anxious Tang Shaofeng was frozen like a statue the moment he walked out of the building.
Ye Fu looked at Tang Shaofeng with a smile, his eyes playful and charming, "Why do I look like I saw a ghost? Am I that scary? "
After calming down, Tang Shaofeng refused with a solemn tone: "Not today. I have something important to do."
Ye Fu asked while pretending to be curious, "What is so important?"
He was unwilling to tell Ye Fu the truth, because Tang Shaofeng knew that the more he showed concern for Xia Wan, the more Ye Fu would act.
"It's Grandma Xia Wan's birthday, I have to go with her to offer my birthday wishes to the old man."
Hearing that, Ye Fu pouted, "I thought it was because it's the old lady's birthday, it's fine if you don't come now."
With that said, Ye Fu opened the car door, and indicated that Tang Shaofeng should leave with her.
The extremely resistant Tang Shaofeng could give in at any time, but not at this moment.
That's why, with a cold expression, he warned in a clear and calm tone, "Ye Fu, don't go too far!"
With a obscure smile, Ye Fu meaningfully asked a question in reply: "Was it me who went overboard or you who went overboard, why did you lie to me just now?"
Tang Shaofeng's eyes were cold as he stared at Ye Fu. He could not understand how there could be such a troublesome woman in the world.
Feeling the disgust in Tang Shaofeng's eyes, Ye Fu frowned awkwardly, then said with a smile: "Isn't it just Xia Wan's birthday, why would you lie to me?"
Squinting his eyes, Tang Shaofeng glared at Ye Fu with his guarded eyes. The other party had inquired about everything about Xia Wan so clearly, this made him feel uneasy.
"Why are you investigating Xia Wan?"
"Because I like you, because I want to know what capital this woman who fascinates you has." Ye Fu boldly and confidently, didn't feel that it was beneath her to pry into the privacy of others.
It was enough to be threatened by Ye Fu, and it was also enough to have Ye Fu acting.
Without paying any more attention to the other party, Tang Shaofeng walked forward arrogantly.
"Tang Shaofeng, are you sure you want to abandon me like this? Do you want your wife to receive an unforgettable birthday present? " Ye Fu's eyes were sharp as she looked at Tang Shaofeng's back. No matter what methods she used, she no longer cared about making herself worse, even if they left a lingering shadow in Tang Shaofeng's heart.
Tang Shaofeng's body trembled in anger. With his fists clenched, his bones creaked.
With a dark expression, he looked even colder than the moon in the sky, "What do you want?"
This question, which contained too many negative emotions, caused everyone to tremble when they heard this question.
Ye Fu pulled her jacket tighter, ignoring Tang Shaofeng's explosive anger, she forced herself to be calm and said: "Accompany me, for an entire night, your phone will be switched off."
With every request Ye Fu made, the killing intent in his eyes grew stronger, but he did not have the courage to refuse.
In the old house, Xia Wan waited until ten o'clock, but she still did not see Tang Shaofeng's figure that had returned.
She, who was both sad and disappointed, could not hold back and called the other party, but she found that Tang Shaofeng had turned off his phone.
With furrowed brows, Xia Wan did not mind Tang Shaofeng forgetting her birthday. Instead, she was worried that an accident would happen to Tang Shaofeng, who could not be reached.
That was why she put on her coat and went out to look for someone. Her first destination was the company.
Xia Wan realized that the entire office building was pitch black, and it didn't seem like there would be anyone present. Xia Wan stood alone downstairs, and didn't know where she should go to find Tang Shaofeng.
His phone rang, Tang Shaofeng finally called.
"Tang Shaofeng, where are you? Why did you keep turning off your phone? " Xia Wan's tone was hurried, revealing her endless concern and worry for Tang Shaofeng.
"I'm working overtime at the company. I'm not going back today, so let's not talk about it anymore. I'm hanging up." Tang Shaofeng spoke quickly, snatching away time with all his might, his heavy voice revealed a sense of nervousness.
Disappointed, Xia Wan lowered her arm and looked behind her with cold eyes, "You worked overtime? Tang Shaofeng, why did you lie to me … … "
Amidst the cold wind, under the dim yellow light, Xia Wan, whose lips had turned white, held her phone tightly. She did not understand why Tang Shaofeng was lying.
She knew that she shouldn't have made wild guesses, but she still couldn't help but relate Tang Shaofeng's recent performance to this lie.
Xia Wan mustered up her courage and called her phone. She wanted to ask about the reason, but when the blind sound came through, she laughed sinisterly, her eyes filled with sorrow.
Returning home, Xia Wan once again faced the pleasant surprise that she had prepared for Tang Shaofeng, and felt that everything that happened before him was as if she was mocking him.
Xia Wan, he doesn't care about you anymore, he can even deceive you. Are you still going to wait foolishly for him to come back tonight?
Such an "unforgettable" birthday made the grief-stricken Xia Wan disheartened, and turned to leave.
