Chapter 34: Her Performance

She had gone hiding in her protective case again, protecting herself with a couldn’t-care-less attitude!

“Otherwise, how would you have the chance to withstand the pressure of public opinion?” he blurted out words that were even more hurtful.

Tang Xin’s face went pale, and she looked at him sadly, “Did that girl also bear the pressure of public opinion?”

Li Yunshen’s expression changed, and his already-cold face seemed even colder at that moment.

He stretched out his hand and squeezed her cheeks hard, sneering with resentment, “You would never be able to estimate what she has endured!”

Sure enough, the girl was the trigger.

“I get it, I’m sorry, I won’t bring it up again.” Looking down sadly, Tang Xin once again felt bitterly disappointed.

At the mention of this girl, she saw the hatred in his eyes and also the persistent sentimental attachment. That sentimental attachment was indelible and could not be replaced.

To think that she had even believed she could manage their marriage properly and had wanted to free her self-confined heart and integrate herself into his circle so as to be a woman worthy of him. She was really naive!

He let go of her, took out a cigarette irritably and lit it up before winding down the window and starting to smoke.

The wind from outside gushed in, messing up her soft, smooth hair.

Tang Xin quickly pressed it down with her hand, afraid that her hair would fly onto his face.

He flicked the cigarette ash outside the car window and looked at her, “Next, should we talk about your performance today?”

His low voice was like the hissing of a snake, making Tang Xin feel cold all over.

She saw the darkness that had suddenly appeared in his eyes. After that night, she was no stranger to such eyes.

He extinguished the cigarette and looked over with cold eyes, “Unhappy?”

She shook her head, fully aware that he was actually displeased despite his seemingly soft tone, so she could only unfasten her seat belt and lean towards him.

They had actually already done everything that could be done, except to the last base.

She knew he wanted it, but just hadn’t done it. There had been many times when she had thought that they would get to a home run, but his self-control was really terrifying.

She didn’t understand why and also felt uneasy about it, because the truth at the end might not be love or sympathy.

…

“Xinxin, are you free? Come out and have a meal with me.”

At noon the next day, her second brother called her and he sounded a little down over the phone. After informing Sister Liu, she took her bag and went out.

In the private room of a Japanese restaurant, she saw her second brother drinking alone. After seeing her, he forced a smile.

“Xinxin, you’re here. The Japanese food here is quite good, come sit down and try. I’ll get them to serve the food right away.”

Tang Xin took off her shoes, sat down cross-legged opposite him, and asked worriedly, “Did something happen, Second Brother?”

“Nothing, I saw that you’d lost weight when I picked you up for the banquet that night, so I wanted you to have some good food,” Tang Lingfeng filled her bowl with food, showing care and concern for her.

Tang Xin felt warm and let out a smile, “Thank you Second Brother, you are so good to me.”

He was the only one among all her relatives who really cared about her. She really shouldn’t have doubted his intention of taking her to the banquet last night.

“Silly girl, you are my sister, of course I should be good to you, eat the food quick,” Tang Lingfeng smiled softly at her and continued to fill her bowl with food.
