Chapter 27: Struggle

e and meet them."In the brightly lit office of the director, an elderly director was struggling to communicate with the family members sitting across from him, beads of sweat even appearing on his for...[]

Wen Xuxu suddenly tensed up, feeling a sharp jolt in her chest. Even her breathing became erratic for a moment.

She has never been to his place.

Five years had passed. When she married him, she had only seen his face once on their wedding day and never again. How could she possibly have the chance to go to his place

She still remembered that time, when she was staying at the Huo family's place. She knew he had another residence outside, but she never dared to go see it.

She didn't even dare to inquire about his news, nor did she dare to mention his name too often, for fear that if she did, someone might tell him and make him angrier.

Now that I think about it, she was so humble back then that she didn't even have her own dignity.

It wasn't until five years later that she returned, and the first place she was taken to in the Huo family's house was the Shallow Bay where he lived. Thinking about it, it was truly ironic!

Wen Xuxu looked out the window.

In late autumn, after nightfall, a chill creeps in. Looking around, one might catch a glimpse of a solitary figure or two, adding to the eerie emptiness of the city. Even the dim streetlights on either side seem shrouded in a layer of frost.

"Madam, the CEO just got discharged from the hospital today. When you get there and see him, if his attitude isn't good, could you... perhaps bear with it for a while I'm worried that if he gets angry again, he might..."

"Don't worry, I'm a doctor. I know more about this than you do, and I won't upset him."

Wen Xuxu withdrew her gaze and replied lightly.

Xiaolin heard that and finally let out a long sigh of relief.

He actually still wanted to ask, how did she become a doctor after five years And a pretty famous Chinese medicine practitioner at that

Finally, he glanced at the villa garden ahead, now just visible in silhouette. He still kept his mouth shut, swallowing the question for later. He pressed down on the accelerator.

Ten minutes later, The Royal Court at Repulse Bay No. 1.

That's still the palace courtyard!

The grand entrance, with marble pillars standing tall like soldiers on guard for this villa garden, is impressive. The arched corridor boasts golden rose carvings and natural marble adornments, all subtly exuding understated luxury. But words fail to describe the breathtaking scenery within the garden itself.

Wen Xuxu's mouth opened wide, and for a long time, her eyes didn't blink.

原來,他住的地方這麼好。

So, should she be grateful To be able to come here for a spin in her lifetime

"Madam, I'll send you here. Number One Imperial Palace is his. You can just go in directly from here."

As she was lost in thought, the young Kobayashi who had come up behind her suddenly said this to her in the car.

What

Did she just go in Didn't he go in with her

Wen Xuxu immediately regained her composure and ran back. "Aren't you going in I've never been here before, and...you didn't tell him either. What if he thinks it's strange if I just barge in"

"No, ma'am. I already told the president, you can go in directly now. It's fine, haha."

Xiaolin was comforting her in the car with a smile, that expression definitely didn't look like someone lying.

But what about in reality

Well, his foot was already on the gas pedal. As soon as this woman walked in, he would make a quick getaway.

Wen Xixi heard this and didn't notice his little movements, thinking it was true. In the end, she could only take the things she brought with her and boldly go in.

To be honest, she was really getting creeped out by that tyrant.

Several minutes later, outside the No. 1 Imperial Court.

Indeed, after Wen Xixi arrived, she saw that the garden inside the villa was eerily quiet. There weren't the guards she had expected to intercept her upon arrival.

It seems like Xiaolin was telling the truth.

She finally calmed down, holding the needle bag in her hand. She saw that there was light shining from the front door of the villa, and she immediately quickened her pace and walked over.

"Where is the person"

It was a little eerie. When she finally reached the front door of the mansion, she stood there and peered inside. To her surprise, the magnificent courtyard was completely empty.

Could it be upstairs

She thought so, and then simply stepped inside.

But as soon as she stepped inside, she saw a pair of pink lady slippers on the makeshift shoe rack by the entrance.

It is dainty and exquisite, with a few cute little daisies on top. In the sea of men's leather shoes and children's shoes, it stands out so prominently yet harmoniously.

It's just like, a family of three!

Wen Xuxu's gaze fixed on that spot. For a second, it felt like something heavy hammered against her chest, causing a dull ache. She stood there, struggling even to breathe.

This must be that woman's.

Initially, she wasn't even qualified to visit this place when she married him. But now, this woman has become its mistress, and their family of three is happy and harmonious. The child is still her warm and lively little one.

What a great irony!

Wen Xuxu stood there, her expression cold and devoid of emotion. Her heart ached to the extreme, her blood seemed to have stagnated. Thinking back to herself five years ago, all she felt was emptiness and hatred, a piercing pain that made even her nerves tremble.t wasn't bad.But when he finished eating and wanted to ask this woman to hold the child, he found that she was already sitting beside him and asleep."The CEO""Okay, come down now."He looked at the mes...
