Something's wrong, they're not NPCs?

Chapter 231 does not mean that it cannot be supplemented later

late at night.

"Is there really someone who can walk into a house empty-handed and still be served by his long-awaited wife?"

"..."

Su Ming arrived home.

"Is everything going well in Kyoto?"

He was greeted by an overly dazzling smile. An Shiyao, who was used to wearing home clothes, had already become a real wife. There was no need to try to have fun with the ring that was given to her by someone else when she was about to leave Haidao City.

"what's wrong?"

"No, I just think you've become prettier after not seeing you for a few days?"

"Tsk, you smell like sweat, go take a shower."

"..."

The shining ring finger on her left hand was given to her by herself. It represents loyalty to one's significant other.

How do you feel when choosing a wedding ring?

Perfunctory?

isn't it?
Indeed, it was a choice made after careful consideration.

6 month 27 day.

early morning.

"Xiao Li asked me yesterday where you went."

"Now you've become a big boss, flying all over the country. We'll have to wait until next life to see each other again."

"..."

Listening to An Shiyao talking about some big and small things in the company.

Apprentice?
"Yeah, I heard that they are planning to get married on National Day. Should I go too? At least you can call me Master's Wife occasionally in private."

Ok.

That was the life I once wanted.

Just saving money, just finding someone. Maybe there will be love, maybe it's just for marriage.

6 month 27 day.

Three o'clock in the morning.

While An Shiyao was sleeping soundly, Su Ming got up quietly.

Go to the second-floor balcony and look at the light spots formed by the street lights and colorful lights outside.

"Clap."

He lit a cigarette and swiped his phone to make a call.

[Hello, the number you dialed is currently unanswered. ]

The first time, no one answered.

The second time, still no one.

The third time...

"Plato, what time do you think it is? Where do you think I am?!"

"I was busy talking to the merchant's sister during the day, and I had to take care of the meeting... In the words of the Snow Country, even the bleak green is not like this."

"..."

Is it the donkey of the production team? I can speak the Snow Country dialect pretty well, but is it a bit difficult to understand the Snow Country's jokes right away?

so.

Through the apprentice mentioned by An Shiyao just now, and peeking into the lives of ordinary people, Su Ming felt inexplicably relieved.

Not using your ability, not doing what you can do, and being bound by rules and regulations is simply asking for trouble.

"Xue'er, do me a favor."

"..."

Okay, all the problems with An Xiaoxi have been solved.

leftover……

Su Ming put out his cigarette and went to the bathroom to flush the butt down the toilet.

"Wow--"

He washed his face again at the sink and stared at the face in the mirror.

The only one left is An Shiyao.

6 month 27 day.

early.

"Yao..."

"Speaking of which, the day before yesterday, my phone suddenly pushed a news report to me saying that pregnant women can't eat flour or rice. I thought it was a hoax, but when I checked, it turned out that you really need to pay attention to your sugar intake. Once it exceeds the limit, you really can't eat rice."

"When the time comes, my mother-in-law will definitely instruct you, and may even personally instruct you on how to take care of you."

"That's right. Ah, what did Mr. Su Ming want to say just now?"

"..."

Su Ming stared at the three-fresh noodles on the plate and said, "Your cooking skills have improved again."

"Of course, there is a lot of love here after a short separation."

"..."

"Wow... what did you say? Really. You're praising me all of a sudden..."

I couldn't say it.

Whether it was the atmosphere or the smile on An Shiyao's face.

It's like the living room is a jar of honey, pure and sweet, and no one would want to spit in it.

6 month 27 day.

noon.

Su Ming dawdled until 10 o'clock before setting out for the syyx company building.

There are already a lot more people.

"Morning, Mr. Su."

The hired finance department introduced two receptionists who had good appearance, temperament and conversation skills.

"Um……"

Except for the captain, who was an injured employee of Wendy's who had a hidden disease, all the other patrol security guards were locals of Dongshi. The captain received both Su Ming's salary and Wendy's compensation.

"Back then, you and your wife were just two people fighting against us..."

"It's because Sister Wendy said it's your company that I came here. It's not bad to be a doorman and retire here."

"..."

Su Ming felt that he looked familiar, but he couldn't remember his name at all.

The employee recommended by Wendy to be the security captain is probably more than enough to help guard the door in the Snow Country.

Another interview.

This time it's in the medical industry, there are doctors and people who run hospitals. It can't be considered an interview, right?

Anyway, he was brought here by Xia Ye, so he just went through the motions.

A specialized medical team is necessary, and in the future we will continue to train talents and send them to various "safe places" that are built.

I believe that these doctors will be at a loss when they learn in the near future that they need to train how to perform surgery in a zero-gravity environment.

6 month 27 day.

in the afternoon.

Who released the news?

He had just signed a contract with the people sent by Xueer in Kyoto and signed an agreement with the top leaders of the Snow Country.

Soon after, some merchants came, smelling the scent.

"It's open source, you can use it however you want and improve it however you want."

"But if you want the cooperation and distribution rights of our company's latest technology, can you afford it?"

"..."

It's normal for people to ask about chips, lenses, AI technology, etc.

"I heard that your company has condoms that are completely different from those on the market."

This thing shouldn't be promoted by people in Kyoto, but done by internal employees, right?
"Mr. Su, I have seen the samples... I hope to obtain exclusive authorization."

But that's not a bad thing either.

We can make money, and every unit sold is a guarantee for the future.

A few years ago, I thought young people should just lie down and let the elderly take care of themselves.

Now Su Ming feels that young people should not just lie down. It seems that if they earn money to buy a house and a car and get married, how can they sell their products without falling in love?
6 month 27 day.

Night.

When he got home, Su Ming didn't see An Shiyao.

[Too busy. But I believe I can take some time off after this busy month! ]

busy?

It's normal. It was originally a small hardware company in Dongshi, but now it has flourished. Department stores, retail, materials, etc. have been doing business one after another. It even started directly from overseas and has no shortage of customers.

"Buzz."

Su Ming was just about to pick up the cigarette box and go to the balcony when the phone on the coffee table vibrated.

Not An Shiyao.

[Dad, how are you now? ]

It's Avril.

how about it?
【Standing on the edge of a cliff.】

[What do you mean by the edge of a cliff? It seems like... Dad hasn't said anything yet.]

【…】

[Dad, you know... I've always been a bit careless, I didn't think too much about it before. I didn't think it was that serious.]

[After thinking about it, I decided to tell my dad my opinion again.]

【…】

[Just a simple question, can Dad accept Mom remarrying someone else after the divorce? ]

【…】

[Right? It's actually very simple, just like what Sister Wendy taught me. Determine the result first, and then just think about the process.]

[Is it possible that your mother and I taught her this method? ]

[So what? Anyway, I just want to reiterate that although it is rare to see my dad sleeping on the sofa in such a miserable state, if he sleeps outside every day, the atmosphere at home will definitely be weird. For people like my dad and mom... I'll just have to do what I did before, and pull me out to sleepwalk in the middle of the night.]

【…】

The phone hangs up.

There was no need for Avril to tell them, Su Ming knew it all.

6 month 27 day.

late at night.

"I'm so tired..."

"If I had known earlier, I would have asked Xiao Li to run the trip for me. After all, he is Mr. Su Ming's apprentice, so he will definitely not complain."

An Shiyao kicked off her high heels and walked into the bathroom with a tired look on her face.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Su Ming... I'm so sleepy."

"What's the point of apologizing and saying you're too sleepy and reaching out your hand?"

"I apologized first... I'm used to extending my hand, so can't I touch you? It's just... if you want that, I might fall asleep in the middle of it. Please go ahead, Mr. Su Ming."

"I'm probably not that hungry."

"It doesn't matter whether you are hungry or not. Mr. Su Ming can do whatever he wants... I am going to sleep. Nothing you do will wake me up."

"..."

It's not like the little movie I watched with An Shiyao before, where the male and female protagonists were sexually cold and slept back to back with a distance between them.

Still hugging each other intimately.

As An Shiyao said, she can do whatever she wants. She will still react, but she won't respond actively. That kind of body feedback is more like an unconscious murmur after being too tired.

Are you that busy?

6 month 28 day.

early morning.

Just after midnight, Su Ming got up and called his apprentice.

"Master?"

The apprentice on the other end of the phone seemed to be still outside.

"You haven't come home yet?"

"Hey, isn't this the one from my family who finally figured it out after half a month of dieting? He wants to eat barbecue, so I'll come out to buy it."

"..."

I have to ask him about An Shiyao.

"I was just wondering whether I should tell Master."

"Boss An has been like a chicken with blood pumped up these past two days, staying until the very end every day."

"..."

"Business negotiations do exist. After all, our company has suddenly received a large number of orders from overseas customers. However, we have almost completed all the work that needs to be done in the past few days. It stands to reason that Mr. An does not need to deal with the rest."

"Yesterday I even saw Mr. An cleaning the office after get off work. Maybe he has some new plans for the future? But I always feel that Mr. An doesn't need to be so busy. Master... did you have a fight with Master's wife?"

"After all, since you went out and came back, you should think about going back early."

"But I don't know Mr. An either. I just heard you come to ask specifically... I'm a little skeptical."

hang up the phone.

"Clap."

Su Ming lit a cigarette and stared blankly at the streetlight below the balcony. A couple staggered back, supporting each other.

What is your impression of An Shiyao?
Relatively speaking, it is more sticky.

In many cases, I would put down my work and choose to stay at home. Unless it is necessary, I would even stay at home all the time and not go out. Or I would take her out myself.

Have you never been as tired as today?
What about the situation where she fell asleep before she was halfway through?
There are.

It seems that today is no different, yet it seems completely different.

But if she already knew, when did she know? Why could she act so calm?
6 month 28 day.

Good morning. An Shiyao planned to get up and make breakfast as usual. She planned to cook some porridge and let it cool, and then make some side dishes like pickled radish.

"Eh? Mr. Su Ming got up so early?"

But Su Ming had already gotten up and prepared breakfast.

"..."

Perhaps because Su Ming remained silent, the atmosphere was a little weird.

"As long as he doesn't shiver, will Mr. Su Ming get up early?"

"That has nothing to do with it."

"Why do you have that expression? Mr. Su Ming has finished eating first, so you don't have to wait for me."

"..."

Su Ming watched her go into the bathroom to wash up and fix her appearance in front of the mirror.

Normally, she would change into formal clothes before having breakfast.

"Don't frown. Did the company encounter any difficult business?"

"That's how running a big company works. It's simple at the beginning with just a few people, but as the number of people grows, there will be more and more strange problems."

Sitting astride Su Ming.

"..."

The minty scent of toothpaste remains on your lips and teeth.

"It's only 7 o'clock."

"Could it be that Mr. Su Ming got up so early just thinking about..."

"..."

"Well, if there's no response from someone, I don't want to shiver, and I didn't do anything while I was asleep... Actually, I really thought that just touching her hand for a while would be enough, and I was thinking about doing something else, but I fell asleep right away."

"I probably didn't ask for it when you were completely unmotivated."

"I didn't say it must be Mr. Su Ming's request... It's me. It's already 7:5?"

Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she took Su Ming's hand and placed it in the baby canteen. The loose pajamas not only failed to hide her figure, but also highlighted her curves because the hem was squeezed by her thighs.

"It's all your fault. You got up so early... and finished everything I had to do."

"Isn't this just a deliberate attempt to tempt me to seize the opportunity...to want it?"

"..."

The fleshy thighs are slightly pressed.

"Are there any changes?"

"..."

"But don't go too far. And don't bully people intentionally... If Sese is late, I will be embarrassed to see others. I have only been late once so far."

"..."

"Are you feeling unwell? Um... then let me do it?"

I saw An Shiyao squatting in front of me, level with the sofa.

"Yao."

"..."

"Did you know that already?"

"What do you know? I hugged him in the middle of the night, but Mr. Su Ming pushed me away because he was too hot, and I almost fell down, but he quickly hugged me tightly before I woke up from my daze?"

She had no intention of stopping and had already reached out to unzip Su Ming's pants.

"..."

Su Ming didn't say anything else, just stared at her hands.

At first, there was nothing unusual. Nothing that could be seen with the naked eye.

But when she grasped it, she could tell it was trembling.

Those eyes never raised up after they fell down, and never met Su Ming's gaze.

"I have no idea……"

"What does Mr. Su Ming want to say? If there is a surprise, you have to keep it secret. If you tell it out loud and people guess, if they guess it right, your happiness will be reduced by half. If..."

She raised her face and smiled, "It's a prank, trying to pretend to be like this to deceive people... If you really make me angry, then it will be Mr. Su Ming who will come to coax me."

"It's already 7:16. If Mr. Su Ming doesn't deal with this, what will happen after I leave? I started this."

"..."

Still pulled apart.

"Suck~"

Very selfless service.

Saliva and other substances gathered on her smooth chin and then flowed onto the carpet and disappeared.

"Yao, I'm sorry. I..."

"!"

Got bitten.

Can feel the pain and the pain of the tooth.

"Mr. Su Ming, I suddenly remembered that there was a contract that I hadn't finished yesterday. I have to check it and fax it over."

"I'm going to go change my clothes first."

"..."

This lie is so false.

Compared to yesterday and the day before yesterday, it was totally unconvincing. The company didn't have much for her to deal with.

Maybe even she herself knows this, which is why she is shaken to this extent.

I mean, I was shaking all over. I said I was going to change clothes but I didn't do anything.

"I don't know why, but the day before yesterday I suddenly thought that no one would come to the villa for a while, so I took advantage of the empty time to wash the sheets and quilt covers. We don't have a nanny at home, and I was free that day."

"I was thinking, when Mr. Su Ming comes back and sees me washing so many things, he might scold me for being stupid and not knowing how to spend money to hire someone. And then he might praise me for being virtuous after scolding me."

"..."

"The marks I found were nothing serious. They were illusions."

"Auntie said she went to Xiaoxi's house and said that she lived alone and her room was messy, and she looked less and less like a girl. She also suddenly asked me how I was doing recently and whether my relationship with Mr. Su Ming was okay. It's normal for Auntie to want to care about me. She has always wanted to mend our relationship."

"..."

"It's the same with Mr. Su Ming. Because I'm a little tired recently, he treats me very well. I understand that Mr. Su Ming may have simply coveted my body before, but not now. Women are very sensitive and emotional creatures. I know clearly whether Mr. Su Ming treats me well, whether he covets something or just likes me."

"So, what does Mr. Su Ming want to say?"

"You think I'm jealous of my sister's close relationship with Mr. Su Ming, and that when something goes wrong, she'll go to Mr. Su Ming first instead of me. How could that be possible?"

"..."

"Or does Mr. Su Ming have something else to say? Something completely different from what I was thinking."

"..."

How can I say it?
Or, is there any need to say it?
"Okay... I don't want Mr. Su Ming to become like this because of me. A good woman will be responsible."

She leaned forward with tears on her cheeks in front of me. She spoke in a trembling, yet light tone.

"I bit you accidentally just now. Does it hurt?"

"Sorry……"

A service even more gentle than at the beginning.

Lifting the hair beside her ears, her smile became more and more natural.

She knew everything, but...she chose to pretend she didn't know.

"Hurry up... Mr. Su Ming knows that once he treats me well..."

“I’ll think about that especially.”

She took the initiative to sit on Su Ming's lap and swayed the drum.

Only now did Su Ming realize that the reason why An Shiyao and An Xiaoxi both had body odor was because they used body lotion.

The scent is the same because I use the same product.

"..."

Su Ming didn't move. The hand on her baby's canteen didn't move at all, just stayed there.

"Yao, I don't know what traces you found."

"But I plan to speak out. Unless you really treat Xiaoxi as a marginal person, there is no way to hide it. You will notice it sooner or later."

"..."

Su Ming told most of the things, but he still kept the real purpose of the dream game a secret.

"so what?"

"Shouldn't Mr. Su Ming have told me this at the very beginning?"

An Shiyao's reaction was completely different from what Su Ming expected. She didn't cry like before.

The tone was calm.

"Mr. Su Ming wants to divorce me?"

"That's not the plan."

"I'm planning to take Xiaoxi as well. Even after I'm married."

"..."

"That's really too much. I told you that you can pretend you don't know... but that's also a lie. It's useless to pretend you don't know when it comes to this. I don't have a talent for acting, and neither does Mr. Su Ming. Once he feels that he owes me something, Mr. Su Ming will subconsciously take care of me. After being together for so long, Mr. Su Ming still doesn't understand that I'm actually a very smart woman. People say that a woman in love is like Sherlock Holmes, and a woman after marriage is like Conan. Of course she will find out... and connect everything together."

"Well, Mr. Su Ming, have you resolved your worries? Are you happy that you made me angry after you said it out?"

"You still won't respond to me? I even risked being late to deliberately tease Mr. Su Ming."

"..."

Su Ming didn't understand.

Why can she still laugh?

With this peaceful attitude.

"Now that you've made me angry, aren't you going to make it up to me more seriously?"

"Mr. Su Ming's hands are not usually so obedient..."

He took Su Ming's hand and rubbed it.

I really can't imagine that once I really say it out loud, there will be such a peaceful scene.

But it’s already happening before our eyes.

Questions that need to be abandoned, questions that need to be rethought...

For An Shiyao, what would be considered decent compensation?
"Dating? It's indeed a good compensation...but now it's not just Mr. Su Ming who has this idea. Does Mr. Su Ming think that I, who haven't been in a relationship for several days, don't have any ideas at all?"

"Don't think about anything else. Just solve the problem at hand. It's the duty between husband and wife."

"Do I look like an angel? Do you see the halo around my head?"

"..."

Is there something wrong?
But if An Shiyao cried in pain and was extremely disappointed...that would be fine?
"Woo! Suddenly..."

"…I feel it, full of guilt. I told you not to think about it anymore…but it seems like you're a little addicted…hmm."

Maybe she had already cleared away all the negative emotions in the few days when she knew about it before she said it.

Now, just leave the most relaxed side to yourself?
"Yao, I love you."

"Ha, I, I have to go to the company later... woo!"

"You may not be able to go today."

If this is the case, nothing can be done except compensation.

6 month 28 day.

in the afternoon.

I was a little distracted as I watched Mr. Su Ming drying his hair after taking a shower. No matter how many times I saw that face, I would never get tired of it.

From this morning till now, I have been filled with guilt and compensation.

I feel like it might be addictive.

But why do I still feel empty?

It seems like there is a void that cannot be filled.

I can still remember it.

I just found Mr. Su Ming and learned that he was dating Xia Ye... I did not hesitate to use my title as general manager to urge him to go on a business trip with me alone, and took the opportunity to offer everything I had.

'I remember them all.'

When I heard Mr. Su Ming say that, I was very happy. I didn't do anything, and although I cried in an unbelievable way, I felt so satisfied that I almost burst out.

it's wired.

Mr. Su Ming once said that love is a response between hearts, not between organs.

We should be very loving and do those things as our relationship develops. Since when did more and more compensation begin to get involved?

How far can I go?

Looking at the ring on the ring finger of my left hand, I realized that if the diamond was bigger it would be ugly, so I just kept it a small beautiful diamond.

I shouldn't be thinking about this kind of thing, right?
To be honest, I feel that this exquisite diamond ring is not as good as the ring that Mr. Su Ming picked up from someone else and gave to me in Haidao City.

I don't want a divorce.

"This is a rough sketch of Syyx's future development direction. The production lines of core technologies will be controlled by us, and we will have to find some companies to bleed for the remaining secondary technologies..."

The name of syyx company is a combination of the initials of my name, Mr. Su Ming's name, and Xia Ye's name.

Is it time to add another letter?

I may not be that sad about Xiaoxi's matter, but... why am I afraid?

"Mr. Su Ming."

"Ok?"

"Call Xiaoxi later. She must be having a hard time right now."

"..."

"Sister Xia Ye and Sister Xue Er already know about this?"

"more or less."

"..."

Mr. Su Ming put his hand on my shoulder and played with my hair in a normal way.

I can't seem to tell whether Mr. Su Ming's love for me is compensation or love. I seem to have figured out a little bit... Since when did I become an obstacle in Mr. Su Ming's eyes?
Now I am a good woman.

What we are doing now is the best and most correct thing to do. Is that right?
Ha ha.

Can Mr. Su Ming actually have a normal day to put on my shoes, completely without any distractions? What if I have distractions and want to tease with my feet?
Come a few more times, since I can't go to work in the company anyway. I can't feel warm in my heart... It's just because I'm not optimistic and carefree enough. Maybe I'll change after a few more times. After all, Mr. Su Ming said firmly before that he would be timid until I accept it. Although I accepted it in advance, it doesn't mean that I can't make up for it later.
