“Be calm, girl. That woman isn’t as beautiful as you. What’s more, you are his legal wife. Be confident, and I think you will definitely outwit her.” The driver comforted me.
“I’m fine. Please just stay on the vehicle ahead. So sorry to trouble you.”
When Nan Lin got on the car, Leon started his car again and kept driving forward. The taxi driver followed him.
When arriving at a road intersection, my phone rang suddenly. It was Xuanlong Jiang who called me.
I answered the phone, “Hello, Xuanlong?”
“Fourth Brother asked me to tell you stop following him.”
I was very shocked. I was in the taxi now, how could he find that I was following him?
“He knows you very well. It’s impossible that he has not yet realized that you are following him. Only you dare to do that. I’m right behind you. If you do not stop following, I have to overtake you and stop you.”
I looked back and I really saw Xuanlong’s black jeep.
I knew very well about Xuanlong’s thought. If I didn’t listen to him and kept following, he would certainly stop me soon.
I had to ask the driver to stop the car. I paid him the fare and then got off the car.
He made a right turn at the light, and then stopped his car at the side of the road and motioned me to get on.
I was angry at him at that time. But it was not suitable for me to act against him.
He still showed no expression in his face, explaining to me, “I know you are very angry now. But you really do not need to do such things. If you are really angry, you can scold me. I will not retaliate.”
“Xuanlong, I know you and Leon are very good friends. But I still want to tell you that, since you are good friends, shouldn’t you try to correct the other one’s mistakes? You know that the current Nan Lin isn’t the real one, why will you just see them two act so affectionately? Why you didn’t persuade him? I really want to know your thoughts.”
Xuanlong didn’t have any emotional changes on hearing my accusation. He said lightly “Fourth Brother has his own reasons and principles to do everything. We have no evidence to provide that his Nan Lin is a fake. Fourth Brother is the only person who knows Nan Lin well. If Fourth Brother thinks she is true, then it’s very possible that she is.”
“But Bo Ma said that person is a fake. Now, Bo Ma is dead, and the dead cannot give witness. How can Leon pretend that person is true just because of this? Don’t you think that is too silly?”
“But what Bo Ma said is not necessarily true. I’ve looked into this matter for a long time. I haven’t found any evidence to prove his point. Please give Fourth Brother more confidence. He has his own reasons for doing things, and he isn’t stupid at all. Please do not interfere with him anymore.”
I wanted to tell him that I’m Leon’s wife. When he had some dubious relationship with other woman, how can I turn a blind eye to it? But I thought about it for a moment and decided to give up. It’s meaningless to say these words to Xuanlong.
Then I asked Xuanlong to send me to the company to continue my work. When it’s time to return home from work, I picked Alex up. And then I took him back to the old house I used to live in.
For sure, Alex was unhappy, “Mom, why are we here? Did you quarrel with Dad again?”
I originally intended to answer no. But I think Alex is very smart, so it is not suitable for me to lie to him. So, I just nodded “Yes, we had a quarrel. I’m mad at him, so I do not want to go back there. If you disagree, I can send you back. And Aunt Zhen can take care of you there”
“Even though I want to go back, I prefer to stay with Mom. I will stay where mom stays. I was afraid of losing my mother.” Alex said.
Feeling a little sour in heart, I touched his head,”Thank you, Alex. Then, I’ll cook for you.”
Alex nodded.
I went to the kitchen, and Alex lay on his desk doing his homework.
When I came out to get my things done, I heard him talking on the phone.
“Dad, don’t make my mom angry. She is very pitiful… ”
I wanted to scold him why would he call Leon secretly? But I thought for a moment. Leon treated Alex so well, so it’s normal that Alex trusted him.
Even I began to rely on Leon, let alone Alex. However, I had been an adult, so there was something that I really can’t stand.
When I finished cooking, Alex and me ate together. It could be seen that he wasn’t happy at all.
I was also in bad mood. So, both we two ate very little.
It’s a place I used to live in. It should be very kind for me to live here, but actually it’s not.
In the past three years I lived here with Hao Wu, I was unhappy most of the time. And I was becoming more and more unhappy.
Put it simply, I didn’t want to live here myself, but there’s no way.
I couldn’t keep staying in the Maple Villa when Leon still had affectionate with others.
After washing the bowl, Alex continued to read his picture story book, and I opened my notebook to start working.
When I really began to deal with my job, I realized it’s really up-hill work. There were lots of things need to be done.
What’s more, I was a novice. There were a lot of professional problems that I didn’t understand. I have to look up information on the Internet.
There are lots things I need to learn. It’s a tough process. I have to work more than three times harder than ordinary people to become a real work-elite from a housewife.
When I finished reading a super-long document, someone knocked on the door.
At that time, Alex was reading a picture story book. And he bounced up.
Both we two didn’t guess who was outside the door. Alex rushed to open the door before my giving order.
Alex inherited Leon’s gene. Even though he was only three years old now, he was much higher than his peers. It can see that in the future, Alex would be a boy who would have long legs.
“Dad!” Alex’s cheers made me feel very complicated. I hoped that Alex can be happy, but I didn’t want him to accommodate himself to Leon too much.
“Have you eaten??”Leon asked Alex.
“Yes, we have.” Alex answered the question “Mom cooked that for me. Did dad have dinner? Would you like some?”
To my surprise, Leon agreed, “Ok. Dad has not yet had meals. I’m so hungry. Let me have a look at what kind of delicious food you have.”
Leon put down Alex, and he didn’t spoke any words to me. And then, he went to the kitchen.
I also went into the kitchen, and then closed the door of the kitchen.
Leon looked back at me. “Why closed the door? Are you going to have intimate relations with me here? I’m very hungry now, so I’m not in the mood. Wait until I finish my meal.”
“Leon, you are such a rogue! In the daytime, you went out with Nan Lin, and in the evening, you come here to bother Alex and me. Please don’t eat what i cooked. You can go out for dinner with that woman. I’m poor, and I do not have the honor to cook for you. At the same time, you have no chance to eat together with me as well!”
“Nala Yao, don’t be arrogant? I haven’t asked you why you followed me today. Why that you would think I have some love affairs with her? Only for your imagination? You are lunatic!”
How could he think that he was reasonable?
