Chapter 57: Xu Yue Arrives

Xu Yue!!

Yang Xun felt as if a bucket of ice water had been dumped over him, chilling him to the bone.

Ever since he and Xu Yue got married, she had never once come to Xiaoxie Village. After all, she was the CEO of a major corporation and had absolutely no connection to a place like this.

’Did the sun rise in the west today?’

’Why would she suddenly show up here?’

Though his mind was reeling with questions, Yang Xun didn’t dare make a sound. If he walked out of the bathroom right now, the accusation of "cheating" would be set in stone.

Although his marriage to Xu Yue was in name only, their marriage certificate was very real.

If Xu Yue saw him and Mi Ting together, naked, any explanation would be pointless.

More importantly, it would drag Mi Ting into it.

If word got out, Mi Ting would be branded a "homewrecker." How could she ever hold her head up in Xiaoxie Village after that?

Mi Ting had clearly realized the gravity of the situation as well. Her fair face instantly turned deathly pale, her almond-shaped eyes filled with terror.

She bit her lip hard and wrapped her arms tightly around Yang Xun’s neck, her whole body trembling slightly, her eyes filled with fear.

Even though Yang Xun and Xu Yue’s marriage was just for show, that marriage certificate was like a sword hanging over their heads.

If they were discovered, she, Mi Ting, would be the third party who destroyed a family. In a place like Xiaoxie Village, gossip alone could drown a person!

"Sister-in-law, you... what are you doing here?"

Just then, Yang Cai’s clear voice sounded from outside the door.

Yang Cai’s tone was full of surprise.

Although she knew her brother’s relationship with his wife, Xu Yue, wasn’t great, Xu Yue was still his wife in name. She couldn’t be impolite.

"I came to see you."

Xu Yue’s voice came from outside, still in that cool, indifferent tone, but with a rare trace of gentleness it usually lacked.

"To... to see me?"

Yang Cai was even more surprised, her voice rising a few pitches.

"Mm," Xu Yue said flatly. "Your brother told me before that you were out of the hospital and resting at home. I happened to be passing by Xiaoxie Village today, so I thought I’d drop by to see you. I went to your old house, but no one was there. I asked a neighbor and found out you were staying here."

"Sister-in-law... thank you!"

Yang Cai’s voice was filled with emotion. She never would have thought her sister-in-law, who was usually as cold as an iceberg, would make a special trip to visit her.

"Take these supplements. They’re all for your recovery. Take them on schedule."

"Wow! There are so many! You’re the best, Sister-in-law!"

Yang Cai’s voice became cheerful.

...

「Inside the bathroom.」

Hearing Xu Yue’s words, a complex mix of emotions washed over Yang Xun.

’Xu Yue came to visit my little sister?’

’This... was truly unexpected.’

The Xu Yue of the past wouldn’t have even said a word to Yang Cai if they ran into each other at home, let alone come to visit her.

’What on earth is wrong with her today?’

’First, she lied for me that night, and now she’s making a special trip to visit my little sister...’

"Sister-in-law, have a seat. I’ll get you a glass of water!"

"No need. I’ll just sit for a bit, then I have to go."

Soon, the sound of the sofa cushions sinking slightly could be heard from outside as Xu Yue sat down.

Yang Cai sat down as well and began chattering away to Xu Yue like a little sparrow, telling her about everything from her health to her life at home recently, leaving no detail out.

Xu Yue would occasionally offer a brief reply. Though her words were concise, her tone was much gentler than it was at the Xu Family’s home.

"Oh, right, Sister-in-law, Sister Ting is taking a shower!"

Yang Cai suddenly remembered something and turned to shout toward the bathroom, "Sister Ting! My sister-in-law is here!"

BOOM!!

Those words exploded in the bathroom like a clap of thunder.

Mi Ting jolted, almost crying out in shock, but Yang Xun quickly clamped a hand over her mouth.

Their eyes met.

Mi Ting’s almond-shaped eyes were filled with panic and helplessness.

She had to say something.

Not responding would be strange and arouse suspicion.

Taking a deep breath, Mi Ting forced down the roiling emotions inside her and tried to make her voice sound as natural as possible. She called through the door, "Xu... Xu Yue, right? Hello! I’m Mi Ting. Cai Cai is staying with me. Please, don’t be a stranger, make yourself at home. I’m in the shower, so I can’t come out to greet you."

Her voice sounded normal enough.

But only she knew what kind of torment her body was enduring as she spoke those words.

Because Yang Xun was still inside her!

Xu Yue’s husband was, at this very moment, still deep inside her body!

And Xu Yue was sitting right outside the bathroom door, completely oblivious to it all.

The entire scene was absurd to the extreme.

Mi Ting felt like her head was about to explode. Her emotions were a violent roller coaster.

Shame, nervousness, fear, thrill...

All these emotions intertwined, shattering her sanity.

"Hello. Thank you for taking care of Cai Cai."

Xu Yue’s voice drifted in from outside, flat and devoid of any emotion as usual.

"You’re... you’re welcome. Cai Cai is very well-behaved. She’s no trouble at all!"

Mi Ting’s voice trembled slightly as she desperately tried to control her tone.

However, at that very moment, Yang Xun did something that made Mi Ting completely break down.

Yang Xun moved.

That’s right. The audacious bastard actually started to move slowly at a time like this!

His movements were extremely gentle and small, but each thrust pressed precisely against her deepest point.

Mi Ting’s pupils suddenly dilated. Her almond-shaped eyes went wide as she stared at Yang Xun in disbelief.

"Are you crazy?!"

She shook her head frantically at Yang Xun, hissing in a very low voice.

But Yang Xun just smirked, a wicked, punchable grin on his face, and then gave another gentle thrust.

"Ngh—"

Mi Ting bit down hard on Yang Xun’s shoulder, desperately stifling the sound that had almost escaped her lips.

Her teeth sank deep into Yang Xun’s skin, making him frown in pain. But not only did he not stop, he intensified his efforts, his rhythm quickening.

"Sister Ting? Are you okay?"

Yang Cai’s voice came from outside the door. It seemed she had faintly heard some kind of noise.

"I’m... I’m fine! The water was too hot, it scalded me!"

Mi Ting released Yang Xun’s shoulder and, forcing back the shivers wracking her body, used all her strength to get the words out.

Her voice was terribly strained, but it was mostly covered by the sound of the shower, so the two people outside didn’t notice anything amiss.

Outside the door, Xu Yue and Yang Cai were chatting calmly.

Inside, Yang Xun was holding Mi Ting while slowly continuing his ’battle.’

"You... bastard..."

Mi Ting’s voice was as faint as a mosquito’s buzz, tinged with a sob. Her lips were pressed to Yang Xun’s ear as she breathed, her voice a mere thread, "Your wife... is right outside... and you... you still dare..."

Yang Xun didn’t answer.

He just held Mi Ting tighter and pushed a little deeper.

And from outside, Xu Yue’s voice, as cold as frost, passed clearly through the thin wooden door and into the bathroom.

"Cai Cai, is Yang Xun not home?"
