831: Chapter 831: Silly Girl!

Don’t Be Impulsive!

Evening.

The atmosphere in the private room was especially lively, with constant laughter.

Facing everyone’s congratulations, Zhang Hao’s smile was even uglier than a cry.

People like Tang Xiao, Fang Qingya, Lin Yuan, Zhu Cui…

They truly had no clue, unaware of what kind of person Joy was.

Even Lin Yuan’s expression held a hint of envy.

She had been actively trying to conceive and wanted to become a mother not long ago!

No help for it!

If one didn’t know the truth, then for a blessing like ‘congratulations on becoming a father,’ people would naturally offer their felicitations, which is just human nature.

Wu Jie couldn’t possibly share Joy’s past as a topic of conversation; this matter was for Zhang Hao and his family to discuss.

Tang Xiao, who had met numerous people and had a unique perspective, likely saw through it.

She must have noticed that Zhang Hao was genuinely unhappy tonight; Joy’s pregnancy seemed more like a disaster than a joy.

But Tang Xiao didn’t probe with gossipy questions.

A smart woman knows when to keep some observations to herself.

Wu Jie just didn’t expect Fang Qingya to have invited Shu Mengyan as well, introducing her with extra enthusiasm.

To the uninformed, she could have been mistaken for his new girlfriend.

After a hearty meal and drinks, Tang Xin suggested playing mahjong to celebrate.

They had finally gotten through the viral pandemic and could gather once again.

Though they were missing Bai Fengling and Tang Kun, they gained newcomers Shu Mengyan and the elder Tang Long, just enough to make up two tables for mahjong.

Even Tang Xiao agreed; how could Wu Jie refuse?

When they got home, the card room quickly became lively, and they played until midnight before calling it a night.

After settling the guests in for the night, Wu Jie and his wife returned to their bedroom, and of course, first checked on the auction situation.

As many had anticipated, larger consortiums were appearing later in the game, and prices continued to drop.

Tonight’s auction was won by a consortium of seventy-two small-country pharmaceutical companies, but the unit price was only two hundred and ten thousand.

More pharmaceutical companies were getting their hands on Detox Pills, and the outbreak was gradually improving in numerous places.

It seemed the Detox Pills would soon become ‘dirt cheap.’

But Wu Jie wasn’t worried about that; without the viral pandemic, there would still be various significant diseases.

There were even plenty of foreigners who wanted to take Detox Pills to regain the happy joy of childhood.

So… there was no worry about the sales of Detox Pills.

The next day.

Zhu Cui got up early to prepare breakfast and then left for her tutoring classes to frantically absorb knowledge and better herself.

Soon after, Lin Yuan, Shu Mengyan, Fang Qingya, Tang Xiao…

Everyone got up one after another and went to work.

When Tang Xin woke up and checked each room, she found no one around.

However, when she opened the master bedroom door, she discovered Wu Jie still sound asleep on the bed.

Tang Xin smiled mischievously, her red lips curling up slightly.

She walked slowly into the room and gently closed the door.

Click—a quiet latch sound.

Tang Xin locked the bedroom door from the inside, her eyes fixed on Wu Jie.

After observing for a while and seeing that Wu Jie was still deeply asleep with no reaction, she mused,

“Sleeping so soundly!”

Tang Xin bit her red lip, her eyes playful.

Step by step, she slowly approached the bed.

“No need to exhaust oneself in fruitless searching, for it comes without effort!”

“I never dreamed that today I’d be this lucky; everyone’s gone, and it’s just the two of us!”

“Now let’s see where you’ll hide!

Haha~”

With a sly look in her eyes, Tang Xin glanced at Wu Jie, then couldn’t help but scan the surroundings.

She tiptoed to check the windows, drawing the curtains, and then went to the dressing room in search of a nightgown.

Before Wu Jie came along, Tang Xin often crashed at Tang Xiao’s place.

So, Tang Xin had worn Tang Xiao’s nightgowns more than once.

After rummaging around for a while, she noted the styles were still so conservative.

“Xiao, really, these nightgowns are just getting more conservative than the last!”

“You’re married now, and you don’t even think about changing to a new style.

So conservative, I really feel sorry for Jie,” she lamented.

After much searching, Tang Xin finally chose one with a slightly revealing neckline and a material that felt pretty good to the touch.

However, the neckline wasn’t very low, just slightly below the collarbone.

Having only a nightgown wasn’t enough, to pretend to be Tang Xiao and leave Wu Jie completely off guard, one would also need to take a bath.

Tang Xin knew that Tang Xiao did not care for perfume, so by using the same shower gel as her, one could keep a consistent scent.

Of course.

Tang Xin took the quickest bath possible, because it was almost eleven o’clock, and Wu Jie could wake up at any moment.

After showering and changing into the nightgown, she picked up her own clothes and brought them back.

Just at that moment…

Wu Jie turned over.

Tang Xin jumped with fright.

Thinking Wu Jie had awakened, she stared blankly for a good while, only to find upon a slight glance that he had merely turned over.

But this meant…

Even if she didn’t want to continue playing, there was no running away now!

“Wouldn’t it be nice to not go to work today?”

Wu Jie suddenly blurted out, causing Tang Xin’s whole body to tremble.

Her heart almost came to a sudden stop.

This isn’t sleep talking, is it?

He must be awake!

Wu Jie had indeed woken up!

Therefore, Tang Xin dared not answer, as her voice was vastly different from Tang Xiao’s.

She decided to keep silent.

“Still pretending to sleep?

Time to get up!”

Wu Jie opened his eyes, which suddenly widened, and his smile disappeared.

What the hell was this!

He had been…

transformed into a living person!

Seeing Wu Jie’s surprised expression, Tang Xin immediately laughed playfully:

“Jie, you’re awake?

I haven’t seen you these past few days, I’ve thought of you day and night; have you been thinking about me?”

Wu Jie turned and sat up, cautiousness causing him to scoot back.

“I have indeed thought of you—in my nightmares, where you scared me half to death!”

“Darn it!” Tang Xin pouted, “I’m being serious with you, when will you finally deal with this monster I’ve become?”

Wu Jie chuckled coldly, “You think it’s that simple?

Do you realize how serious this is?”

“If we really became a thing, do you think it could be kept secret forever?

There’s no such thing as a wall without wind!”

“Often times, even the tiniest detail can reveal whether two people have a special relationship!”

“We haven’t done anything yet, and you are already signaling me in all sorts of ways; if something did happen, wouldn’t you be even more unconstrained?”

Wu Jie hadn’t finished speaking when Tang Xin let out a heavy, coquettish huff.

“So you mean to say, you have the desire but not the courage?

You’re just afraid of others finding out there’s something between us!”

Wu Jie smiled lightly.

“Think whatever you want, but you better calm down first!

Maybe in a while, you’ll meet your true love and helplessly fall head over heels!”

Tang Xin snorted with laughter and kept quiet.

She knew, no matter whether Wu Jie had feelings for her or not, Tang Xiao had already become the biggest obstacle.

As long as the two were husband and wife, Wu Jie could never accept her.

So…

Could she really harden her heart enough to break Tang Xiao and Wu Jie apart?

The ancients have said,

“It’s better to tear down ten temples than to destroy a single marriage.”

Should she destroy Xiao’s marriage for her own sake?

As a sister and a family member, Tang Xin felt lost.

She also knew that what Wu Jie had said before was true.

This was a matter of a lifetime!

If you don’t want others to know, you shouldn’t do it yourself!

Like, for instance.

What if she ended up getting pregnant?

Apart from Tang Xiao, there were her own parents, other relatives, especially the old patriarch.

If the old patriarch found out that his two granddaughters were fighting over one man…

he would be furious to death!

So…

The risks were too great; she couldn’t be impulsive!
