Being alone in the bedroom for a long time, Xia Wan's emotions gradually calmed down.
Realizing that he was being manipulated by that person, who she had never seen before, with a few photos, Xia Wan felt both regretful and sad.
She began to reflect: Isn't it just a drink? What if Tang Shaofeng went to socialize? If the other party was only trying to instigate her relationship with Tang Shaofeng, then it would be too easy for her to fall for it.
Xia Wan was about to go crazy from the torture of that mysterious person. While convincing herself, she couldn't help but try to guess the worst case scenario.
If she continued to be this unresolute, distrustful of Tang Shaofeng, and lose her temper like a lunatic, even if Tang Shaofeng hadn't cheated, he would still hate her, right?
Clutching her arms tightly, Xia Wan leaned against the headboard and sobbed. Once again, she silently questioned herself in her heart: What's wrong with me? Am I really ill?
After wiping away his tears, Xia Wan decided to obediently listen to Tang Shaofeng's advice and have a chat with the therapist.
The morning of the second day, Tang Shaofeng ordered someone to deliver the new phone to the old house. After Xiao Zhi signed and received it, he happily went to wake Xia Wan up.
But when she thought about Xia Wan's abnormal behavior yesterday, she stood at the door without moving. Her hand that was about to knock also stopped in midair.
Following a creaking sound, Xia Wan actually walked out by herself. Xiao Yao looked up in surprise and joy, seeing that the other party's face was a little better, she handed over her phone, "Big sister, your phone was broken yesterday, this is what mister bought for you!"
Xia Wan forced a smile and tried her best to look as if she was fine.
Seeing this, Little Grass was extremely relieved, and she tried to persuade him: "Big sister, the reason mister called for a doctor yesterday was also for your sake."
Nodding his head, Xia Wan's eyes were filled with regret. Yesterday, not only Tang Shaofeng was scared by her, even the pitiful Little Grass was scared out of her wits.
"Little grass, were you scared yesterday? "I'm sorry, but I just feel very uncomfortable, and I don't know how to vent it."
Little Grass stared blankly for a moment, then scratched her head and laughed, "It's nothing, Big Sister. I know you're not in a good mood, but I see that you're getting better today, and I believe that Big Sister will get better and better. What worries you, don't keep it in your heart or do you want Little Grass to accompany you for a walk?"
Hearing that, Xia Wan was moved, and was even more willing to face treatment from the therapists, even if it was to help those who cared for her.
From waking up until lunch time, the feeling Xia Wan gave Little Grass was much clearer than it was a few days ago.
Thus, Little Grass stopped following Xia Wan's footsteps. Seeing Xia Wan pacing back and forth in the courtyard, she turned around to clean up the house.
Without the chirping grass by her side, Xia Wan suddenly felt empty. It was unknown when she started to be afraid of being left alone.
Because as long as she was alone, those nightmarish photos would continue to haunt her, causing her to constantly let her imagination run wild. She was completely unable to control it.
After walking around the courtyard a few times, Xia Wan subconsciously took out her new phone.
She wondered if the man in the shadows would continue to play tricks.
With this suspicion and probing in his mind, Xia Wan didn't believe it. She wanted to see if that person would still dare to contact her, and also show her something that would make her collapse.
Before he found the old phone, Xia Wan kept warning herself that she needed to have her own judgement and not be easily manipulated again.
After changing his phone card, Xia Wan opened her unread mailbox and found that there was indeed a message inside that had not been scanned. The sender was naturally still that familiar number.
Taking a deep breath, Xia Wan calmed herself down and opened up the details.
This time, the other party did not send any more photos about Tang Shaofeng, it was just a simple line of text.
But this line of text was not convincing enough, it even made Xia Wan sneer.
"Are you at your wit's end?" As Xia Wan looked at her phone, she suddenly felt that the torture she had endured in the past few days was completely self-inflicted.
The other party had actually told her that it was her birthday and that Tang Shaofeng was with the other party.
She had speculated that this person who was deliberately playing tricks on others only let out one thing every day that caused her to be skeptical. It was to slowly torture her and eventually cause her psychological defenses to collapse.
As a result, she thought that the item sent by the other party today would at least be more persuasive than before. However, the result was so laughable.
That was why she was even more certain that she had overthought things.
Xia Wan's fingers danced quickly on the keyboard, and quickly replied the other party: If I were to go crazy, I might believe you.
Before long, she received a reply: You don't believe it?
With a mocking smile, Xia Wan no longer bothered with the other party. Every time she was led away by the nose, why was she so foolish?
If you don't believe me, you can try! Just like that day, you will need him to accompany you but he will stay by my side. When Xia Wan saw the second message from her, she could not laugh anymore.
After putting the phone back into his pocket, Xia Wan frowned, her gaze deep.
She was not surprised that the mysterious man knew that she had been born with no time for Tang Shaofeng to accompany her. Maybe it was because she found out through the people around her that she was able to make use of this opportunity.
Yet, the other party had the confidence to make a bet with her. Where did this person get the confidence from?
Should he go and probe, Xia Wan bit her lips, her eyes filled with confusion.
"What's there to be afraid of? If I'm afraid to bet with her, that's the only way to not trust Tang Shaofeng!" Clenching his fists, Xia Wan decided to accept the challenge.
Whether or not Tang Shaofeng had a problem, perhaps he only needed to probe once and all the answers would surface …
In a luxurious villa near the suburbs. Ye Fu lazily leaned on the sofa and held her phone in her hands. Her eyes flashed with a strange light that seemed to be a smile yet wasn't.
As the smile on her face became more obvious, her finger unconsciously dialed Tang Shaofeng's contact number.
"Xia Wan, today you will know what it means to despair …"
The phone was picked up, but before Ye Fu could speak, she heard Tang Shaofeng impatiently ask: "What now? Didn't I say that I've been very busy these past few days? "
Ignoring Tang Shaofeng's annoyance, Ye Fu pouted: "How long has it been since you've been accompanying me? I've been considerate enough these days, aren't you satisfied? "
On the other end of the phone, Tang Shaofeng exhaled heavily, and then compromised with a broken voice: "How long?"
Ye Fu gave a bright smile, and replied with an obscure look: "Since you kept ignoring me, I want you to spend the entire night today."
"Impossible!" Tang Shaofeng rejected it without thinking, because with Xia Wan's current state, he really could not stay in any other place.
Ye Fu's eyes were not filled with anger, but she pretended to be angry, "Feng, are you sure? I already know that I have been very cooperative with you during this period of time, so no matter how busy you are today, you'd better agree to my request. Otherwise, I don't know if I'll contact your wife or show her anything.
Ye Fu could no longer say no with certainty due to such an obvious threat.
Could he refuse it, he couldn't. Xia Wan was currently so sensitive and weak, and if Ye Fu really detonated that time bomb, he didn't dare to imagine the consequences.
Without any response from Tang Shaofeng, Ye Fu only heard a loud bang as she hung up the phone.
But she knew, she had won, and Tang Shaofeng had already given in.
Putting his phone to the side, Ye Fu picked up her coffee and smiled like a flower, "Xia Wan, you can do it, I want to see how long your trust in Tang Shaofeng can last after this!"
In the Tang Clan Headquarters, Tang Shaofeng's face was filled with regret, his eyes were terrifying and sinister.
Before Ye Fu called, he had just contacted Little Grass. Hearing that Xia Wan was in good shape today, Little Grass decided to invite the doctor over to his house for another visit.
But now, this matter could only be postponed.
Tang Shaofeng, who had been repeatedly forced into submission by Ye Fu, silently swore in his heart: The day he gets rid of Ye Fu's control, the other party will definitely die an ugly death! At least ten thousand times more painful than he was now, only then would he be able to resolve the hatred in his heart.
As he was lost in thought, Tang Shaofeng's phone rang again.
He looked down and was surprised to see that it was Xia Wan.
"Wife, are you in a better mood today?"
"Much better."
Tang Shaofeng's heart was filled with emotions. Ever since Xia Wan suffered an abortion, she had always been immersed in pain, and the situation had become more and more intense.
He had already forgotten the last time he was concerned about Xia Wan, but since Xia Wan could call him today, it meant that the shadow brought about by this matter should pass quickly.
Just as he was about to continue chatting with Xia Wan, he heard the other party ask, "Can you come home early today to accompany me?"
The smile on his face froze, and Tang Shaofeng evasively replied with a depressed look in his eyes: "I'll try my best, okay?"
Even though Tang Shaofeng's reply was almost perfunctory, it still poured a lot of power into Xia Wan's restless heart. She was confident in their relationship, and for Tang Shaofeng's "I'll try my best", she waited until around ten in the evening.
Staring at the wall clock in a daze, Xia Wan's gaze turned terrifyingly cold.
She tried to call Tang Shaofeng again, but she was not in a rush. She wanted to hear what excuse the other party had to go back on her words.
"Wife, I'm a bit busy today. You sleep first, don't wait for me."
"Is that so?" Xia Wan asked the other party coldly, with a tinge of curiosity in her tone.
Tang Shaofeng paused for a moment, then calmly replied: "How could I not be willing to go home and accompany you? Be good."
Xia Wan's nose was sour and her eyes were rimmed red. She pleaded with a sobbing tone of voice: "Tang Shaofeng, please go home and accompany me right now! "Immediately!"
Xia Wan's begging was not willfulness, but fear.
Actually, she had already confirmed it: she had lost this bet. However, she was not willing to face such an outcome, so even if it was for nothing, she had to drag Tang Shaofeng back, even if it was no different from deceiving herself.
"Wife, don't be like this, I really can't go back now. I'll stay at home with you for an entire day tomorrow, okay?"
"Don't..." Xia Wan had not finished speaking, and the call was immediately cut off by Tang Shaofeng.
Tears silently rolled down her cheeks. Her eyes were filled with despair as her empty gaze focused on the ground. Xia Wan's voice was like a mosquito's as she added, "Don't abandon me …"
For the first time in her life, Xia Wan experienced how it felt to truly betray her. It was as if there was snow in her heart, and that bone-piercing coldness was slowly eroding every corner of the warm place that she treasured until it froze.
