He felt that even if he had to die, he had to come clean. He couldn’t just die without explaining anything.
“Really?” Jun Shiyan smiled, his long and narrow eyes as sharp as knives. “What about the clothes?”
Xu Xi looked at the clothes that he had taken off and thrown into the trash can and did not dare to hide it anymore. “Miss Ling bought the clothes for Ji Fanchen. I saw that you liked this coat very much back then, so I didn’t dare to tell you the truth. I was afraid that I would make you sad.”
“You sure have grown up. Are you trying to guess what I’m thinking?” Jun Shiyan’s gaze turned cold and murderous.
It was ridiculous, he’d be devastated. He’d be heartbroken because of that d.a.m.n woman who bought clothes for other men instead of him. Where did he get that conclusion?
“Xu Xi wouldn’t dare.” Xu Xi spoke again. He looked at the man and said what he needed to say clearly, he would never defend his own actions again. “Third Master, please punish me.”
Jun Shiyan roared angrily, “Get lost!”
“Yes,” Xu Xi replied respectfully. He knelt on the ground and took two steps back before standing up and leaving quietly.
He knew that the Third Master was angry. He had been by the Third Master’s side for more than ten years, but this was the first time he had seen the Third Master so angry. He also knew that he had done something wrong this time.
However, he had already done it. He knew that he was in the wrong, but he would not regret it. No matter what kind of punishment he had to face next, he would just accept it.
“Get back here,” Jun Shiyan shouted angrily again. He kicked the rubbish bin in front of his eyes, gritted his teeth, and said, “Take it out and throw it away!”
Did he care about wearing the clothes she bought? He did not care!
Xu Xi held the rubbish bin and stood outside for a long time. Even after the sky turned dark, there was still no movement in the house.
He turned around carefully and saw that the man was still sitting on the sofa. It had been an entire afternoon but The Third Master was just sitting there, not moving at all.
Even though he was standing at the entrance of the living room, tens of meters away from the sofa, he could still clearly feel the stifling atmosphere, making it difficult for him to breathe.
After thinking things through, he became much calmer. The feeling of being on edge disappeared. If the Third Master wanted to punish him, then so be it. In any case, he would not be able to avoid it. Since he wouldn’t be able to resist, he could only wait patiently for that moment to arrive.
During dinner time, as a personal a.s.sistant, he still knocked on the door and looked at the man. “Third Master, what do you want to eat tonight? I’ll get someone to prepare it.”
Jun Shiyan did not even look at him. He only said coldly, “Get lost.”
“Yes.” Xu Xi did not know if his punishment had not been decided or if the Third Master was not prepared to punish him yet.
Based on the Third Master’s temper, since he had made a huge mistake this time, he would not let him off so easily. However, the Third Master was still troubled and did not have the time or mood to deal with him.
‘The sky gradually darkened and when it was completely dark, it started raining again. The cold wind blew in and it was a little cold.
Holding an umbrella, Ling Sheng ran back in one breath. When she saw Xu Xi standing at the door, she frowned strangely. “What are you doing? Don’t you find it cold? Go inside and hide.”
Xu Xi had the heart to not say anything. He had already made a huge mistake and angered his master, so he would make more mistakes if he said anything else. However, he felt that since the Third Master was going to punish him anyway, there was nothing wrong with adding some more crimes. He had
the mentality of a prisoner on death row.
He looked at Ling Sheng and lowered his voice to remind her, “Miss Ling, Third Master knows about your matter. He’s very angry.”
He had already told her everything that needed to be said. She could only pray for the best now. The matter between her and the Third Master was not something a subordinate like him could interfere with.
“Tunderstand,” Ling Sheng replied. It was raining and it was quite cold. She looked at Xu Xi. “Don’t stand here. Go to your room.”
Was he angry? How could he be angry?
Xu Xi was standing there because of him. Did he have to vent his anger on others when he was angry? No one taught him that!
The lights were not switched on in the living room. When Ling Sheng entered, her eyes were still unaccustomed to the sudden darkness. She subconsciously wanted to switch on the lights.
“You’re back.” Jun Shiyan’s cold voice suddenly sounded in the quiet living room.
Ling Sheng was shocked. Xu Xi only said that he was angry, but he did not say that he was like a ghost. In the living room, her eyes adjusted to the darkness before she saw the black figure sitting on the sofa. She frowned and hummed in agreement.
“Ling Sheng, why did you suddenly come back to look for Ah Qi? Why did you try so hard to get close to me?” At that moment, Jun Shiyan suddenly calmed down. Even his heart, which had been filled with jealousy and pain, miraculously settled down.
“Jun Shiyan, if you give me back my son, I can leave right now.” Ling Sheng sneered, her voice clearly mocking him.
“Give Ah Qi to you? You can forget about it for the rest of your life.” After Jun Shiyan finished speaking, he suddenly turned his head. His deep and cold gaze were like knives as they landed on her stomach. He said mockingly, “Ah Qi is not your only child. Don’t you have another one in your stomach?”
Ling Sheng felt that his gaze was like a cold knife, cutting her heart until it was bleeding. The more he was like this, the brighter her smile became. She raised her voice and said, “Mr. Jun, you know how I am. I’ve always been greedy. I want Xiaogi, and of course, I want the child in my stomach too.”
When Jun Shiyan heard her admit it, the fire that he had suppressed suddenly erupted like a volcano. Once he found an outlet to vent his anger, he could no longer control it. The words he said were like blades that could cut. “Miss Ling tried so hard to get close to me and seduce me. Could it be that this
child’s father made you sad and desperate? Do you want to find him a stepfather before he’s born?”
“No.” Ling Sheng looked at him with a brilliant smile on her lips. Her voice was clear as she enunciated each word clearly. “I officially announce that he’s dead! At this moment, he’s dead in my heart!”
It was very dark in the room, but Jun Shiyan could clearly see the light in the woman’s eyes. It was fading bit by bit, like the ashes of death, with no life left in it. It was the desolation left after extreme despair.
At this moment, he started to panic for some reason. When he saw that she was about to leave, his eyes flickered and his voice became even colder. “Miss Ling, you should leave this place. I don’t welcome you here.”
What a joke. She was pregnant with someone else’s child and came to seduce him. Did she think that he was a fool?
“As you wish.” Ling Sheng’s voice was filled with a bone-chilling self-mockery. She only felt the air between her breaths turn into a cold blade that pierced through her throat to every corner of her body, seemingly causing her body to be dripping with blood.
Jun Shiyan watched as the woman straightened her back with a nonchalant att.i.tude. In that instant, his heart suddenly felt like it was about to explode and he felt suffocated.
He tried his best to stabilize his emotions and walked towards the study room. He could not stay here, not for a second longer.
She was the one who was in the wrong. She was pregnant with someone else’s child and came to deceive him. She was a liar.
‘Why was he heartbroken over a liar? Was he crazy? Was he possessed by her?
Xu Xi stood outside and clearly saw two figures walking in opposite directions. Both of them were determined to leave no room for negotiation. He sighed and looked up at the rain.
He did not expect the Third Master to fall in love with Miss Ling in less than a week.
He did not expect Miss Ling to be pregnant. She must have ulterior motives for bringing someone else’s child to the Third Master.
The two of them met at the wrong time. Were they not going to work out in the end? Was it impossible now?
Ling Sheng actually had quite a lot of things. She had two large suitcases and bought a lot of things, so she stuffed them all into the suitcase.
“Miss Ling, let me help you!” Xu Xi walked to her side respectfully. This was the last time he would help her, he was afraid that he would not have another chance in the future.
“No need.” Ling Sheng looked at him and smiled. She was very persistent. “Xu Xi, thank you for the past few days. Thank you for what you did just now.”
Xu Xi was embarra.s.sed by her politeness, but he was happy. “You’re welcome, Miss Ling. We’ll meet again.”
“We’ll meet again someday.” Ling Sheng walked into the rain alone, dragging two large suitcases without any hesitation.
She had already given Brother Chen a call. He and Xiao Ye would be here soon to pick her up. Otherwise, she would be dead tired dragging these two huge suitcases.
Xu Xi looked at the frail figure of the woman dragging two large suitcases that were even heavier than her. He couldn’t hold it in and wanted to help. But before he could call her, his phone rang. It was An Yan.
An Yan sounded anxious. “Where’s Madam? Is she still at home?”
Xu Xi frowned strangely. Was he possessed? What nonsense was he spouting? He asked, “What Madam?”
“Miss Ling, it’s Miss Ling.” An Yan hurriedly changed the way he addressed her.
“She left. The Third Master was angry and chased her away.” Xu Xi sighed deeply and looked up at the figure who had already left the door.
‘An Yan was so anxious that his voice changed. “Get her back! Hurry up and get her back!”
“Are you crazy? Do you know what she did?” Xu Xi lowered his voice, afraid that the people in the house would hear him, and even more afraid that the person who had just left the house would hear him. “Third Master has been made a cuckold by her. If I get her back, do you think that the Third Master
would accept i
An Yan said, “Cut the c.r.a.p and chase after her. Otherwise, the Third Master will regret it for the rest of his life.”
Xu Xi finally got to the point. “What do you mean?”
An Yan gritted his teeth and shouted angrily, “f.u.c.k! The child in Miss Ling’s stomach belongs to the Third Master!”
