With regards to the fact that his family and friends already knew that Tang Shaofeng had cheated, Xia Wan chose to believe it without thinking.

This was because she did not want to be slapped in the face by the cruel reality again, to be choked by the bloody truth. Just like yesterday, when Xia Wan swore to bet with her, but she lost.

Hence, her trust in Tang Shaofeng and her confidence in their relationship was now nothing but a joke to her.

But since she had accepted the truth, it did not mean that she could successfully digest it. She did not understand why the Grandma Xia and the rest would help Tang Shaofeng hide the truth.

If he had told her about this earlier, she wouldn't have been so anxious for her child, who no longer loved her, to lose her child, and for her lover to betray her, two consecutive blows would have been enough to tear her life apart.

Therefore, why did the Grandma Xia and the rest deceive her, and why did they help Tang Shaofeng push her to the bottom?

Thinking about it, Xia Wan, who had locked herself in her bedroom, started to cry. She couldn't help but remember Xia Xue messing around at home, saying that Tang Shaofeng had gotten involved with other women.

How laughable, if she had believed in Xia Xue back then, then everything would have been redeemed. Even if it had been more painful, she could have fought with her life on the line to stop herself. At the very least, she could have protected her last bit of dignity and confidently withdrawn …

"Elder sister, are you awake? It's time for dinner. "

Hearing Xiao Zhi's call, Xia Wan hurriedly wiped away her tears. She, who was initially unwilling to face Tang Shaofeng, suddenly changed her mind, "En, she will be here soon."

While he was washing her face, Xia Wan looked at herself in the mirror.

How much longer would Tang Shaofeng have to lie to her? If the red flag doesn't fall at home, then the colorful flag will float outside?

Fine, he could act, but she couldn't?

Thinking about this, Xia Wan secretly told himself: Xia Wan, he doesn't love you anymore, don't be sad for him! Cheer up, don't cry! He wanted to laugh, laugh until he was panicking!

Xia Wan's stubbornness and self-esteem had forced her to force herself into a dead end. Although her heart was in pain, she refused to reveal her weak side and forced herself to be strong.

Thus, when she went downstairs, Tang Shaofeng discovered that although her eyes were red and swollen, her opponent had an incomparably brilliant smile hanging on his face.

Seeing Xia Wan who was smiling even more happily than a flower, Tang Shaofeng frowned, and his heart suddenly clenched.

He could not say why he suddenly felt so uncomfortable, but seeing such a strange Xia Wan, he felt suppressed.

During dinner, Xia Wan acted as if nothing had happened, as if her conversation with her had worked.

"Big sister, you seem to be in a much better mood. This little grass is really happy for you!" Little Grass expressed the comfort in her heart from the bottom of her heart, but in exchange, she only received a light smile from Xia Wan.

But this time, Xia Wan's smile was unnatural, and even uglier than a cry.

After all, Little Grass truly cared for her and helped her block the blade. Yet, she was pretending to be herself and acting in front of him.

Noticing the slight change in Xia Wan's expression, Tang Shaofeng's heart became even heavier. He suddenly could not see through Xia Wan, and could not understand Xia Wan anymore.

Is it possible that when a person gets sick, he becomes unfathomable?

Because of that, during the entire meal time, Tang Shaofeng had not spoken a single word, only Little Grass laughed happily and chatted with Xia Wan.

Perhaps, only after he saw that Xia Wan did not improve at all, but instead became even worse, he had been silent all this while.

When night fell, Tang Shaofeng entered Xia Wan's room shamelessly. What surprised him was that Xia Wan did not push him away.

But on the double bed, Xia Wan had left almost three-quarters of the space for him, which was even more uncomfortable than chasing him away.

But he was not at ease leaving Xia Wan alone, so he ignored his own feelings and silently accompanied Xia Wan.

Because of respect, he did not touch Xia Wan, but because his heart was filled with the other party's feelings, his gaze continued to follow them.

Xia Wan, whose back was facing Tang Shaofeng, was reading a book the entire time. It was almost time, so she turned off the bedside lamp and coldly said good night.

Tang Shaofeng did not say a word, he continued to stare at Xia Wan's back figure. The two of them were obviously very close, but his eyes were filled with intense longing.

Half an hour later, Tang Shaofeng thought that Xia Wan had fallen asleep, so he tucked in.

The phone's notification sound suddenly sounded, surprising Tang Shaofeng and causing him to turn his phone into silent.

Noticing that Xia Wan had not been disturbed, he slowly exhaled, and then went to read the contents of the short letter.

Originally, Ye Fu wanted Ye Fu to accompany him to the hospital as she felt her abdominal pain, saying that she was afraid that the child would have problems.

Tang Shaofeng's brows tightly knitted, his eyes revealed disgust, and even a cold and ruthless thought emerged in his mind: If the child in Ye Fu's stomach died, everyone would be happy.

Thus, with an indifferent expression, he decided to ignore this message.

But how could Ye Fu let him off so easily? Three minutes later, the other party's threat was passed on to him through his phone.

This time, Tang Shaofeng could not pretend to be dead, so he could only stand up unwillingly.

"It's so late, and you have a party in the middle of the night?" In the tranquil environment, Xia Wan was unable to respond to her sudden question for a long time.

He thought he was being careful enough, but he didn't expect Xia Wan to wake up.

"There's an emergency at a branch office that requires me to take care of. Sorry." Tang Shaofeng looked apologetic, and his tone was soft.

With his back still facing the opponent, Xia Wan only let out a low sneer from her nostrils after hearing Tang Shaofeng's words, and didn't say another word.

After standing under the bed for a long while, with his brows furrowed, Tang Shaofeng looked at Xia Wan's back with a deep gaze. A few minutes later, he still left.

After the door was closed, it emitted a creaking sound as tears flowed down Xia Wan's face.

She hated herself for failing to meet expectations, hated herself for caring so much, hated Tang Shaofeng for lying to her, hated him for abandoning her once again to accompany another woman.

Although Tang Shaofeng did not stay overnight like last time, he was already feeling disheartened.

She, who had been unable to sleep all night, just stared blankly at the window, all the way until the light in the sky appeared, and all the way until she heard Tang Shaofeng's voice clearly.

After Tang Shaofeng left, Xia Wan had just closed her eyes. She did not move from her previous position, as if she was extremely disgusted with the position in the bed where Tang Shaofeng had laid before.

Because Little Grass thought that Xia Wan had gotten better, when Lu Yaoyao called to say that she wanted to visit the other party, she agreed immediately.

But how could Little Grass know that the people Xia Wan didn't want to see the most right now were not only Tang Shaofeng, but Grandma Xia and Lu Yaoyao as well.

When Xia Wan found Lu Yaoyao sitting downstairs, her eyes froze for a moment. Then, she forced herself to pretend that nothing had happened.

"Elder sister, Miss Lu has come to see you. You guys can continue chatting. I'll go prepare some fruits and snacks!"

stared straight at Lu Yaoyao. Although she had a smile on her face, it still gave people a kind of extremely sad and sorrowful look.

"Xia Bao, are you feeling better?" Just from the surface, how could Lu Yaoyao discover that Xia Wan was different, so she pulled her along and chatted with her.

Nodding, Xia Wan's eyes became meaningful: "I feel much better now."

Since your relationship with Tang Shaofeng is so good, hugging a son is only a matter of time. Don't be tangled up with it anymore.

Pursing his lips, a hint of ridicule flashed past Xia Wan's eyes: She has a good relationship with Tang Shaofeng? Lu Yaoyao clearly knew that Tang Shaofeng had a lover outside, why did he have to say such hypocritical words.

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Xia Wan suddenly asked: "Ah, you're not young anymore, when are you planning to get married?"

Xia Wan's question caught Lu Yaoyao off guard, and she was embarrassed and shy at the same time, "Hey, why are you suddenly asking this, do you want to be a matchmaker?"

Lu Yaoyao's playful teasing, did not get Xia Wan's smile, she looked at her gloomily, "What, if your future husband goes back on his word, what will you do?"

Lu Yaoyao was dumbstruck, and couldn't speak because of Xia Wan's question.

After reacting, she raised a hand to rub Xia Wan's head, and said while at a loss whether to laugh or cry: "Xia Bao, why do I feel like your mind isn't normal?"

Xia Wan looked at the other party with determined eyes, but her expression was still as serious as ever, "What? I'm not joking around with you."

With his heart in shock, Lu Yaoyao seemed to have realized something as her face changed again and again.

She secretly glanced at Xia Wan, and saw that she was looking at her too.

His eyelids twitched, Lu Yaoyao forced herself to calm down and ask: "Xia Bao, what are you thinking?"

Seeing that Lu Yaoyao was obviously not willing to confess, Xia Wan laughed sinisterly yet coldly, "What? Have you lied to me or hidden anything from me?"

This time, Lu Yaoyao was truly panicking. Her face was filled with guilt as she stammered a reply, "No …. "Nope."

The smile on Xia Wan's face gradually disappeared, she had become extremely haggard recently, so every gaze she gave Xia Wan was terrifying.

Facing such a strong aura Xia Wan, and the other party's scrutinizing gaze, Lu Yaoyao was so nervous that she nearly bit her tongue.

She did not have the same level of mental fortitude as Tang Shaofeng, so she was even more afraid of getting exposed if she was careless.

After thinking about it, Lu Yaoyao felt that it would be better if she left first.

After all, she believed that Tang Shaofeng and Ye Fu had nothing to do with each other. Moreover, Xia Wan had just suffered a blow, she could not hurt her again.

Therefore, Lu Yaoyao slapped her thigh, pretending to have a bad memory, "Ah! I forgot that the company is urging me to submit a proposal, Xia Bao, I will go back to work first, another day to accompany you. Take good care of yourself and love you! "

Watching Lu Yaoyao flee, Xia Wan's heart had already turned cold.

Oh? What benefits did he give you? It's worth it for you to lie for him and betray ten years of our friendship …

Her tears fell silently. After confirming time and time again that the mysterious person was not lying, Xia Wan's original inner world began to crumble.

Her faith in love, her reliance on friendship, her trust in family, were all gone in this catastrophe.

From Xia Wan's point of view, the reason why Grandma Xia and Lu Yaoyao were willing to stand by Tang Shaofeng's side and not hers, was only because Tang Shaofeng was willing to give her some benefits that she could not give up.

Xia Wan who felt that he had been abandoned by the whole world, had no trace of light in his eyes and returned to his bedroom like a zombie.

When Lu Yaoyao left the old house, Lu Yaoyao pondered for a while, suspecting that Xia Wan had already discovered something, so she decided to call her to remind her.

However, Tang Shaofeng did not feel that the matter was as Lu Yaoyao had guessed. He believed that the reason why Xia Wan was so suspicious was entirely because of his lack of sense of security during this period of time, such as the fact that every time he was forced to go to Ye Fu's side, he would be interrogated by Xia Wan.

This was a phenomenon that would often happen when couples were getting along, so Tang Shaofeng did not take Lu Yaoyao's advice to heart.
