C127 (1/2)

The first rays of the morning sun shone in, shining straight on Wang Yuxian and me.

Wang Yuxian's sleeping posture wasn't too good. Half of her white legs were exposed, and her pajamas were taken off. Her enchanting face was only half a fist away from mine.

”Jade Immortal, wake up.” Today, she slept even deeper than I did. I gently nudged her.

She slowly opened her eyes and asked me what time it was.

I saw that Acting Hu and the rest were about to open the door, so I hurriedly got up and put on my clothes.

In the past, I didn't tell anyone in Wang Yuxian who was unclear about what had happened. But now that her husband had returned, if I was still like that, it would be a bit unreasonable.

People were watching the sky.

Wang Yuxian called Lao Gao right after she got up, but no one answered.

She had been absent-minded all morning.

Shortly before noon, a shadow pushed open the door and entered. After entering, he went to the counter to get the money without any hesitation.

”You're back …” Wang Yuxian said weakly.

The man didn't even look at her. There was only some change in the counter. It had just opened today, so there wasn't much money in the water.

”Only this little?” This man shot a glance at Wang Yuxian.

The latter stopped talking, but all of our gazes were focused on Lao Gao.

We were all furious.

Acting Hu, who never lost out in words, didn't say anything rare at this time. Li Erzi and Zhang Guohua also stopped what they were doing.

Wang Yuxian stared at him with eyes as pure as a child's. ”Where did you go last night?”

Lao Gao's face changed, but his tone did not change at all: ”Who cares!”

Wang Yuxian's eyes immediately turned red.

I knew that she must have been holding it in for too long, but she couldn't vent it out.

At this moment, it was as if there was a little deer bumping around in Wang Yuxian's heart. Looking at Lao Gao's expression, she seemed to have already understood something.

Lao Gao did not waste any words, he turned and walked up to the second floor.

Wang Yuxian turned and wiped her eyes, and went up as well.

The atmosphere in the restaurant froze for a moment.

Acting Hu tiptoed to the stairs and was about to go up.

”What are you doing?” I called to him.

He winked at me. ”Listen to what they're saying. What if the Lady Boss is at a disadvantage?”

”It's not your place to say anything about others suffering!” I don't want the Acting Hu to get into trouble and let him work.

There weren't many people in the restaurant right now, so Li Erzi and the others and I sat there smoking.

I asked Li Erzi how the situation was with the battlefield last night. He said that there was nothing special about it and everything was progressing smoothly, but there were very few people who wanted sand, just the construction site, and not a lot more.

I nodded my head secretly, thinking that this little bit of money was even introduced to us by the Boss Wang, if it wasn't for the Boss Wang, we wouldn't even be able to earn this much money.

It seems that I will have to put more effort into this aspect in the future.

Just as he was talking with Li Erzi, a series of ding-dong sounds came from upstairs.

I was afraid that the Wang Yuxian would suffer a loss so I went up the stairs.

Inside Wang Yuxian's room, a small thermos pot broke on the ground, scattering fragments all over the floor.

He sat on the side of the bed and sobbed softly. Lao Gao paced back and forth in the room, cursing out loud from time to time.

Seeing this scene, I felt as if a needle had pierced my heart.

Wang Yuxian was kind to me, she helped me when I was in a difficult situation, and in terms of life, she had always quietly helped me.

How can I watch her suffer?

But how can I help with this? Go up and give that man a beating? That might make Wang Yuxian even more sad.

Persuade him?

Lao Gao would definitely not care about me.

I had no choice but to eavesdrop like an outsider.
