My Wife Longs for Divorce Every Day

Chapter 497: 497, Nightmare Revisited

“Shi Huan, you have an affair with an old man, and now you’re pregnant with his illegitimate child. How shameless are you?”

“You’re only eighteen and you’re already pregnant. You have no decency! It’s utterly disgraceful!”

“You have disgraced the Shi Family!”

“You should just die, stop shaming us Shi Family!”

“So embarrassing!”

“…”

The scene shifts, and she is lying on an operating table, covered in blood. Lights on the ceiling fly by swiftly as excruciating pain emanates from her abdomen, mingling with the cacophony of voices around her.

“We may not be able to save the baby!”

“Prepare for surgery immediately!”

“This is bad, the pregnant woman has lost a lot of blood, Doctor, Doctor!”

Shi Huan frowns deeply, her face ghostly pale. She gasps for breath continuously, her body trembles, as if immersed in extreme pain. This lasts until a voice, filled with anxiety, reaches her ears.

“Huanhuan, Huanhuan, Huanhuan!”

Shi Huan finally opens her eyes, discovering that she’s covered in sweat, and a pair of small soft hands is gently shaking her shoulder, “Huanhuan, you’re finally awake, I was so scared…”

Shi Huan quickly sits up on the bed, “Sorry, Luoluo. I was having a nightmare, did I scare you?”

“Yes.” Answers little Luoluo honestly, her big beautiful eyes still teary, “Huanhuan, I was scared.”

“Don’t be, it’s my fault.” Shi Huan takes the little girl into her arms, comforting her.

It’s been a while since she dreamed about the past, why suddenly…

Is it because her little uncle is coming back?

A bad feeling gradually took hold in Shi Huan’s heart.

“Huanhuan?” Little Luoluo sniffs, asking her in a childish voice, “Were you dreaming about a bad person?”

Shi Huan forces a smile, “It’s alright now, Luoluo. Don’t be scared.”

She checks the time. It’s only seven o’clock in the morning.

She decides to get up and starts to dress the little girl.

Little Luoluo quickly calms down. She independently puts on her clothes and energetically announces, “Huanhuan, I want to go to the bathroom!”

“Okay, I’ll take you there.”

Shi Huan helps little Luoluo out of bed and opens the bedroom door.

Expecting to see a man on the living room couch, instead she finds a messy quilt pile on the couch with the man nowhere in sight.

“Did uncle leave?” Asks little Luoluo, her tiny face full of curiosity.

Shi Huan calls out hastily, “Mr. Chu? Mr. Chu?”

There’s no response.

She goes into the bathroom and finds that the man’s clothes are gone.

**

It’s not until she finishes making breakfast that Shi Huan finally receives a message from Chu Xiuhuang.

[Little Huanhuan, I had to leave due to an emergency. You don’t have to come to the hospital to look after me for the next couple of days.]

Shi Huan quickly asks, [What happened?]

[My mom fell down the stairs and fractured her leg, she is in the hospital.]

Shi Huan: “…”

Alright then.

**

In the following days, Shi Huan goes back to work at the company.

Being away for almost a month, she is extremely busy upon her return.

Nobody asks her anything. Shi Huan’s ability to work and handle tasks is outstanding, and she gets along well with her coworkers. Probably

because she is Chu Xiuhuang’s private secretary and holds a high position in the company, nobody dares to push their jokes too far or gossip too much about her personal life.

Sometimes, when a joke is casually made, Shi Huan shows no reaction, like she’s immune to the toxicity. Over time, only a few subordinates in the secretarial department are close to her, while others hold her in high regard on the surface but talk behind her back in private.

Of course, Shi Huan doesn’t care about all these.

However…

Over the past week, Chu Xiuhuang seems to have evaporated from the earth, not only did he not care about the company’s affairs, he didn’t even send any messages or calls.

By the weekend, Shi Huan makes a call to Nangong Chu.

She finds out that Chu Xiuhuang had been discharged from the hospital the day his mother was admitted.

No wonder he stopped bothering her.

It seems that he was just in a flight of fancy the night he confessed to her and asked for a chance.

Now that he’s recovered, he can resume his philandering habits, why would he still be interested in her?

Shi Huan shakes her head, thinking that some people really can’t change their nature.

**

Certain someone, at this point, is boasting in a group chat.

The photos he took in Shi Huan’s bathroom that night, he has been posting them in the WJY WeChat group over several days, a photo a day.

At first, people were enthusiastic, expressing their surprise and envy.

But on the fifth day, when Chu Xiuhuang posted a photo of all his clothes thrown into the washing machine, no one replied for a long time.

He starts typing immediately, [My girlfriend volunteered to wash my clothes and trousers, do you guys have this kind of service too?]

Chu Xiuhuang: [Do you? Do you?]

Chu Xiuhuang: [Are you envious, jealous, and hateful?]

Chu Xiuhuang: [Are you? Are you?]

Chu Xiuhuang: [Where is everybody?]

Chu Xiuhuang: [Damn it!]

Chu Xiuhuang: [You’re all pretending to be dead, aren’t you?]

Chu Xiuhuang: [@everyone.]

Finally.

Nangong Ci: [Are you sure she helped you wash your trousers and didn’t just dump them all in the trash bin?]

Chu Xiuhuang: “…”

Damn it, the day he woke up, he indeed found all his underwear in the trash bin.

Thinking about Shi Huan, Chu Xiuhuang’s happy mood suddenly vanishes.

He is furious.

This damn woman, she hasn’t contacted him for several days?

His mother’s hospitalization kept him busy for a few days, he intentionally wanted to ignore her, he didn’t send any messages or make any calls, thinking that she would soon be restless and contact him on her own, since women usually say one thing and mean another. However, who could have expected…

This woman actually showed no reaction at all!

And according to the manager of the operations department, she’s already back at work.

Damn it.

In a fit of anger, Chu Xiuhuang posts in the group chat, [Who wants to come to my house? There are some good-quality girls here lately, free of charge!]

Ming Jing: [Second brother, aren’t you on a date with your girlfriend on the weekend?]

Chu Xiuhuang: [Stop talking, are you coming or not?]

Nangong Ci: [I have a surgery this afternoon, I can’t get away!]

Ming Jing: [There’s a family dinner tonight, I can’t get away!]

Lu Chenyu: [Me]

Nangong Ci: [I knew it, the second brother really loves the fourth brother.]

Lu Chenyu: [Not going.]

Chu Xiuhuang: [Damn it, can’t you type your whole sentence in one go?]

Nangong Ci: [Hahahahaha!]
