One Thousand and Eleven: A Secret Hidden for a Lifetime (Part 3)

Colleagues laughed, "Shu Nian, you are so lucky, your husband really loves you."

The second half of the sentence that was not said was, of course: Not only that, but you actually have a lover like Master Ye, how can you not be lucky? Moreover, I just don't know why Master Ye would fall in love with someone who has no background and is still working hard even with ordinary education?

Shu Nian didn't respond to their words, just pretending that he had never heard them. Marriage is like drinking water, and you know the cold and warmth by yourself. What others can see is always just the gorgeous appearance, and the pain and bitterness in it can only be truly experienced by yourself.

——

Two days later, Shu Nian received his salary. Thinking of the money she owed Ye Yan, she stuffed a small part of the money into an envelope and put it on the coffee table when she cleaned his house at noon.

The reason why she didn't give him the money in person was because Ye Yan suddenly disappeared in the past two days. No phone calls, no messages, and he would not appear in front of her.

Shu Nian thought, he was probably really trying to calm himself down. Perhaps, after waking up, she would find that, as she said, all the derailment between them was just due to excitement and impulse.

That night, the scene of the two of them almost having an accident would occasionally linger in her mind, making her heart a mess. However, she would try her best to restrain herself, endure, and stop thinking about him.

For his disappearance, it would be a lie to say that she was not disappointed. But what can be done about the disappointment? Some feelings, the reason they appear in life, may be to be missed.

Shu Nian sighed secretly, packed up her things, and left the community. She didn't have to be on duty in the afternoon, so she took a direct bus at the entrance of the hospital and prepared to go back to Mus Apartment.

There was also a colleague on the bus, and the two girls sat side by side in a row. Along the way, Shu Nian listened to songs and flipped through books. The date of the exam was getting closer and closer, and time was becoming more and more tense. She couldn't relax for a moment.

Halfway through the car, Shu Nian's shoulder was touched by a colleague.

"Shu Nian."

"Shu Nian, stop listening!" Then, the headphones were unplugged. Shu Nian looked over and looked at her colleague suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

"Don't look at me, look outside!"

"Huh?"

"Look!" The other person stretched out her hand and pointed outside.

Shu Nian was curious,

and looked outside in the direction of her finger, and then, he was stunned.

On the side of the road, there was a famous brand shopping mall, and at this moment, Shu Nian's eyes were on a pair of perfect couples walking out of the mall. The two people, both of whom were favored by heaven, walked out of the mall side by side, and people couldn't take their eyes off them at a glance. Shu Nian naturally recognized the man at a glance, it was Ye Yan.

And the one beside him...

was not Ye Lan. Nor was it any of the women she had seen around him before.

Ye Yan was obviously accompanying her shopping, helping her carry many shopping bags in his hands. The two of them didn't know what they were talking about all the way, talking and laughing, and it could be seen that the two of them were quite compatible. At least, in terms of appearance, the two of them looked particularly compatible.

"That's Young Master Ye, right?" The colleague asked Shu Nian, looking at Shu Nian's expression inquiringly.

"… Maybe." Shu Nian replied indifferently, sounding uncertain, but she was actually 100% sure. It was not until the two of them got into the blue sports car and the car whizzed away that she gradually retracted her gaze.

It seems that he has achieved results after calming down these two days.

"Is that Master Ye's girlfriend?" a colleague asked in her ear.

"Well, maybe."

"Don't you know? Aren't you very close to Master Ye?" The other party asked relentlessly, seemingly unintentional but intentional. "They are really a good match! This is what we call a perfect match, a golden boy and a jade girl! Just looking at them, it feels particularly pleasing to the eyes, isn't it?"

Shu Nian did not answer again, but put on the headphones again and opened the book. But suddenly, it became impossible to concentrate.

All the words in front of her kept flashing, and finally, one by one, they were pieced together into a man and a woman talking and laughing.

Probably because the car was too crowded, she only felt that her chest was stuffy and she was a little breathless. She opened the car window a little, and the wind blew in, but the feeling of chest tightness did not dissipate even a little bit.

On the other side.

Xiang Group, in the president's office.

Xiang Muyang sat back in the big chair with some frustration. The latest project failed again because of the three-way siege by Ye Yan, Tang Jifeng and Bai Jinyan, which resulted in Xiang Group not even having a chance to breathe.

Bai Jinyan had been in politics for a short time and had made great achievements. Later, for some unknown reason, he suddenly went into business. Unexpectedly, he was also sharp and unmatched in business. Although Ye Yan's company was still young, it was not difficult to siege Xiang with Bai Jinyan's help.

Xiang Muyang looked at the gloomy sky outside the window, his hands tensed. If Ye Yan thought that he would let go and divorce Shu Nian if he forced him like this, then he underestimated him too much!

"Chengtian, come in!" Xiang Muyang pressed the internal phone and called the assistant.

The assistant immediately pushed the door open and said, "Boss Xiang."

"I asked you to help me reserve a seat at Tianmu Restaurant for tomorrow's meeting with Boss Pei. How's it going?"

"It's probably hard to reserve a seat at Tianmu." The assistant explained, "When I called just now, I heard that Boss Pei's favorite private room No. 08 has been reserved."

"Who reserved it? Offer a high price and ask the other party to give it up."

The assistant looked embarrassed, "I'm afraid that won't work."

"What's wrong? Just say it directly. Why are you hesitating?" Xiang Muyang frowned impatiently.

The assistant thought about it for a while, but still said: "That box was booked by the old man of the Bai family. I heard that the guests are Xu Yiming and his family in the political circle. They are mainly inviting the daughter of the Xu family. It seems that she is in love with Ye Yan, and now they want the parents."

Xiang Muyang sat up straight when he heard this, as if he was in high spirits, "You mean tomorrow?"

"Yes."

"What time?"

"Probably around 7 o'clock."

Xiang Muyang pondered for a moment and said: "Help me find a way to get Box 07 here. No matter how much it costs, it must be brought here!"

"Yes, President Xiang." The assistant didn't know what he was thinking, but still agreed and hurried to do it.

That night.

Shu Nian lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. Until late at night, she still had no sleepiness. She simply sat up and read a book. However, I don't know what's wrong with me. I have no intention to review even though the exam is coming soon. My heart feels like it's burning, and I feel restless. It feels like I've been thrown into the bottom of a lake, and it's as cool as water.

She sat at the desk, looking at the moonlight outside the window, and her eyes lowered again, unconsciously falling on the mobile phone at hand.

The mobile phone is always very quiet, and there is no sound at night. Shu Nian picked up the phone, played with it in his hand for a while, and finally put it back quietly.

Recently, several publishing houses have been talking to me about publishing this book, and I am not interested in it. I don't know what everyone thinks about physical books. If no one is interested, I won't bother to come out. Because I'm so lazy~~
