The President's Rumored Wife 114 Slept Separately

  "Uh, I'll take you. Pei Jin Cheng was standing right in the middle of the stairs, but he stretched out his hand to support himself, holding onto the smooth wooden handrail. When he was young, he would sit at the top of the handrail with Jin Rui and a servant supporting him, then slide down."

  Over the years, this handrail has been polished bright by many hands.

  Good wood is good wood, even without a coat of bright varnish it doesn't show its age, some are just high-quality timber that has left no bug records after years.

  "Why are you seeing me off?" Shen Xuan stood at the top of the stairs on the second floor, looking down with a hint of trembling in her voice, unable to comprehend why he would do such a thing.

  He didn't even ask her a single question.

  Grandpa also hinted to her that everyone in the family misses her and doesn't want her to be away for too long.

  Jinyue still hugged her and said, wanting to go back to Haicheng with her, until she had enough fun, and then come back together.

  But her husband didn't say anything to her, he just told her brother to see her off in person.

  "It should be." He indifferently spoke out three words, his gaze lightly shifting away from her scrutinizing eyes. His footsteps rose, one step at a time, going up the stairs, but the person standing at the end of the corridor above seemed to exert an invisible pressure on him, an inexplicable pressure that made it feel like every step he took required great effort, or else the aura from above would overwhelm him.

  He could only grit his teeth and move forward, as if this were a war, where retreat would mean defeat.

  Should be?

  She listened as he uttered these three words, as if sending her off was just a task, an inevitable task that needed to be completed.

  Originally, I had some expectations. Isn't it said that a day of husband and wife is a hundred days of grace? Although when he and she slept on the same bed, not every time was it out of passion, at least sometimes they were extremely gentle, how could he be so indifferent?

  She has already told him that if he is unhappy, in the future when Jinrui invites her to dinner, she will just not go.

  Jin Rui was strict and often scolded her, but never had any ill intentions, and helped her a lot.

  Such a friend, she gave up, she made concessions like this, but he still treated her like that.

  He was getting closer and closer to her, he stepped up the last step, suddenly towering over her head, with a sudden surge of air pressure that pressed her down. He was about to walk past her side, she hastily turned sideways, the vertebrae on her back seemed to be suddenly filled with molten iron, forcing her to push hard, straightening even more, her hands tightly clenched at the time, she felt the flesh and blood in her palms jumping, she was also cold, just not as calm as him, with a bit of stubbornness, "I don't want you to send me!"

  He turned around and looked at her, looking at her again with her chin up, her neck stiff, her eyes wide open, and her eyebrows furrowed. All these wrinkles were her stubbornness, which was really annoying and made him feel like she was always fighting with him.

  He is her husband, but she treats him as an enemy.

  He didn't want her to go to La Prairie, but she wanted to.

  He said he would take her there, but she refused.

  It's all right, anyway it will be over soon.

  "Fine, as long as you're happy, it's all right. Arrange a driver or let me take you there, whichever you prefer." He turned around and walked towards his own room, with a tone of impatience and fatigue in his voice.

  Xuan stood still, following the direction of Pei Jin Cheng's departure, and slowly turned around.

  Why is it always her whenever I look back?

  It's always her who compromises, it's always her who is heartbroken, it's always her who gives in. This person, just because he was blank for three years, that's why he has such capital, such worthless capital.

  If you want to leave, then leave, I won't stop you.

  If you want me to send it, I'll send it, whatever you like.

  He took control of everything, she was completely passive.

  She didn't even hear him utter a word of reluctance.

  She wanted to go home, but she couldn't bear to part with him either.

  She chased after him, "Pei Jin Cheng! Stop right there!"

  As she grasped his arm, she used force, "Stand still!" Even her voice was forceful.

  Pei Jin Cheng furrowed his brow and turned around, "Something's up?"

  A simple "Is there something?" had already shut down all her dissatisfaction. She thought to herself, how could a man with such a refined appearance have such a ruthless heart? She didn't want to go around saying how hard it was to take care of him for the past few years; after all, it was only what she should do.

  But even if you don't count those three years, in these few months of facing each other every morning and evening, he should at least have some slight feelings for her, such as asking a question like "How long will it take for you to return?"

  "When are you coming back?"

  "Want to bring something back?"

  Even if it's just a courtesy, even if it's just perfunctory, it's better than being completely indifferent now.

  "Pei Jin Cheng, tell me, what exactly do you want?"

  Pei Jin Cheng thought, they would have to part ways anyway, so he didn't want to fight with her anymore. Being together always ended in fights, either she was quarreling or he was arguing. The two of them were like two flintstones, whenever they collided, it was a disaster. He could endure for two more days, and then she would leave, and that would be the end of it.

  He took a deep breath and said calmly, "Nothing much? I've been feeling a bit tired lately, so I thought I'd get some rest. I have an appointment with a doctor from abroad tomorrow, and you're going out to play with your brother tomorrow too, why don't you go to bed early as well?"

  "Pei Jin Cheng, I am your wife, I want to go back to Hai City, that is my hometown!"

  "Uh, I know you're going back with your brother the day after tomorrow. Oh, I forgot, I'll get Xiaoying to help you pack later. I'll arrange for Shengshu to prepare some gifts for them to take along. I've been too busy lately, so I won't be going with you."

  "Hmph." Shen Xuan smiled coldly, her first time returning to her maiden home was alone. If this got out, it would be a huge joke. She had thought he would persuade her to stay, she had thought he would say something for the sake of appearances and go back with her to take a look, but he didn't mention it at all.

  "Then won't I be troubling you?"

  "Don't worry, Sheng Shu will arrange everything well."

  Her heart was pierced so heavily, she couldn't move an inch in her passive position, he pressed her firmly into a helpless state, unable to advance even a fraction of an inch. With lips bitten and on the verge of making a sound, she stifled it with great effort. Standing before the person she liked, though humbled yet trying to appear proud, this kind of split pain was not the first time she felt it, and each time there was an intense heart-wrenching ache. "Do you know how long I'll be gone?"

  His wrist was still being held by her, he knew she was using force, but his muscles were also hard and numb, so he couldn't feel the sensation of her tight grip, only knowing it was a bit tight. He slightly opened his furrowed eyebrows, his voice still calm and patient, answering her question, "Big brother said you want to see snow over there, and come back next year, right?"

  Boom!

  Xin's mind suddenly exploded without warning, her body shook and she almost laughed out loud in self-mockery, but now even that was not possible. Next year?

  They can be considered a newlywed couple, and even if they are apart for half a month, let alone half a year, shouldn't they feel like three autumns have passed without seeing each other?

  Let's not mention anything else, she knew him well, his needs were so strong, don't even mention half a month, as long as they didn't hold grudges, he could hug her and press her down every day, again and again, never getting enough.

  Now she is about to leave for half a year, but he is so indifferent.

  Anyway, he has many women, right?

  Bai Shan is about to enter the door, does it matter whether she has it or not?

  She didn't believe he would remain chaste for half a year after she left.

  What else can he rely on?

  "Are you saying that I shouldn't come back, huh?" She smiled slightly, her eyes curving into a crescent shape, and the sparkling light in her bright eyes made the person looking at her feel dizzy for a moment.

  He stood there, his eyes locked onto hers, staring at the white dot in her pupils, shining brightly, a dazzling white, like a sudden flash of light, making one's eyes ache.

  "You want me to never come back, is that right?" Her voice rose again, heavier, with a smile that still had a hint of mockery, ridicule, and some provocative probing into his heart.

  His heart skipped a beat, but the cold and elegant phoenix eyes ultimately couldn't bring out a hint of a smile, still with that thin, indifferent tone, "If you think Haicheng is better, more suitable for you, and you're happier staying there, then don't come back."

  "Pei Jin Cheng, do you think that when the time comes, we can divorce peacefully?" She didn't realize that her leaving was exactly what he wanted. He had always thought about divorcing her, and now that her family had come to take her away, as long as the Shen family brought it up, he would be overjoyed. How could he possibly have any worries about being apart for a day feeling like three autumns?

  After getting divorced, he felt relieved.

  Bai Jincheng's heart skipped a beat, and he was stunned for half a day after hearing this sentence. Divorce? He had originally thought that after she left, his life would quickly return to its normal track. Divorce? Never having any intersection again?

  It's also good that it eliminates future troubles. He let out a sigh of relief, "I will follow the normal legal procedures and give you the property that is supposed to be divided to you, not one cent less."

  Xun closed her eyes, quietly feeling that someone was holding a knife with an inverted hook, lightly scratching over her heart. Originally not too painful, but the knife suddenly made a sharp turn, using force to pull, and the inverted spike hung very firmly, pulling her heart to ache and palpitate.

  She, Shen Xuan, had always been sought after by men for her love since she was young, but she never even gave them a glance. How could she have ever experienced such pain and torture? How could she forgive him so easily?

  Bai Jincheng.

  He wanted her to hurt, fine! She hurts!

  Then he can't have it easy either!

  She released his wrist, went further, tiptoed to hook around his neck, leaned in close to his face, cherry lips stuck to his, the hand that hooked around his neck suddenly exerted force, she jumped up, jumped onto his body, and rose above him. Her legs wrapped around his waist, her hands circled around his head, lowered her head to kiss his lips. When she felt his hands circling her waist, she let go of his lips, lowered her head towards him, smiled slyly, "Leaving the day after tomorrow, sleep with me tonight?"

  To be continued in the next update, actually the speed is still okay now, right? Hehe.
