Chapter 310

She complained that Huo Jingyan's business trip this time was too long; aside from the phone call that day when she went to visit Shu Chen on set, they had only exchanged a couple of sentences on WeChat since then.

"At first I didn't think much of it, but the more I think about it, the more uncomfortable I feel. Is he really too busy to pay any attention to me?"

A premonition arose in Shu Xia's heart, "Did President Huo say when he would be back?"

"No, he said things were a bit troublesome this time. I originally thought he could be back in three or four days, but looking at it now, I have to wait another week. Sigh! Xia Xia, I feel like a little resentful woman now, only able to wait helplessly every day for the person I love to return." Jiang Nannan sighed, feeling that she was truly too pitiful.

Shu Xia patiently offered a few words of comfort.

Besides, Jiang Nannan had a naturally cheerful personality, and she could digest even the unhappiest of things very quickly.

She immediately shifted the topic to the movie star Sheng An, "Did you know? Sheng An actually ate the cookies I made, and he even took a photo to show me! I'm probably the first fan to have his WeChat! His new movie is about to be released, and I don't care, you have to find time to go watch it with me."

"He's playing a villain this time, a jerk who kills his wife and abandons his daughter. I watched the trailer, it's so intense!"

Shu Xia also became a bit interested, "Alright, I'll go watch it with you!"

The two chatted casually for a while longer before ending the call.

Following her habit before going to sleep every day, Shu Xia checked the orders for her Taobao shop.

There had been more and more regular customers over the past two days.

Added to the new customers they introduced, the daily income was quite substantial.

It was just that with so many orders, processing them took time, and some customers even had too many questions, so she had to answer them one by one.

At this moment, she noticed a familiar profile picture had left her a message.

It was left this morning.

"I think you might just be a fraud who doesn't actually know anything, just swindling people on the internet. I'll tell you some good news: human effort can achieve anything, I'm pregnant now."

Seeing this message, Shu Xia frowned, then exited the app, treating it as if she hadn't seen it; there was no need to reply.

In this world, there are too many people who will stop at nothing to achieve their goals, and this was no exception.

After all, they were strangers met on the internet; she was only worried for the wife of the man who was being betrayed.

When a wife finds out that the husband she deeply loves and trusts has another woman behind her back, how painful and heartbroken she will be.

For the mistress to enter the home and declare her status is a fatal blow to a wife.

Thinking of this, Shu Xia stopped abruptly and did not continue to dwell on it.

Scumbags are everywhere.

And there are so many people who get hurt.

Everyone must grow through setbacks time and time again.

After exiting Taobao, Shu Xia took a shower and fell into a groggy sleep.

In a half-dreaming, half-waking state, she felt as if someone had hugged her, trapping her entire body in their embrace; at first, she moved a little, feeling somewhat unaccustomed to it.

But because she was too sleepy, she mistook this uncomfortable feeling for a dream, and after gradually getting used to it, she felt in her daze that her back was very warm, a warmth that radiated a sense of security.

Watching Shu Xia, who was sleeping groggily in his arms, Qiao Muting curled his thin lips in the darkness and said gently in her ear, "Sleep peacefully."

It is unknown how much time passed.

While Qiao Muting was fast asleep, he felt Shu Xia's body in his arms trembling and tensing up, as if she were having a nightmare.

"Fu Chenyan..."

At first he didn't hear it clearly, but after Shu Xia murmured it softly again, he heard it clearly.

She was calling Fu Chenyan.

In the darkness, Qiao Muting's pair of black eyes seemed even colder and darker than the night.

Is a mere scumbag worth her missing him so much? To the point of encountering him in her dreams? The way her whole body trembled in fear was as if she were afraid of losing that man.
