TGLC Chapter 5.1

“Who are you talking to on the phone?” Yan Zhen’s voice suddenly rang out from behind him.

Xu Yi’s hand trembled, and he dropped his phone.

Yan Zhen had just asked casually, but she didn’t expect her husband to be so frightened that he dropped his phone.

Yan Zhen suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.

Xu Yi quickly cut off the call and explained to his wife: “It was a friend.”

Yan Zhen’s eyes narrowed. She grabbed the phone and looked at the call records.

Although Xu Yi doesn’t like to talk to outsiders, his face is very attractive. Some girls just like men with his temperament.

However, Yan Zhen checked the name of the person he had just spoken to.

Xu Yi had made a note, so she knew the person’s name was Duan Zihui. It was one of his few contacts.

At first glance, it seemed to be a male name.

Could it be that her husband was just looking for her to carry on the family line, but his true love was same-sex?

Otherwise, why would he be so scared?

Yan Zhen threw the phone back and asked him, “Isn’t it just a call with a friend? Why do you look so guilty?”

Xu Yi immediately lowered his eyes and admitted his mistake, saying, “I just…called my friend and told him that Xie Qingyu has a daughter…”

Yan Zhen was puzzled: “?”

Xu Yi chuckled a little self-deprecatingly: “I just found out that Xie Qingyu’s daughter might be her ex-husband’s. I know her ex-husband.”

Yan Zhen looked shocked: “Huh? I told you before that Qingyu’s child is her ex-husband’s.”

After a moment, Yan Zhen showed an understanding expression again.

“Oh, sorry, honey, I forgot. You never care about other people’s affairs. I guess you didn’t listen to me back then.”

Xu Yi really didn’t listen.

He only cared about his wife and his son.

Otherwise, he would have told Duan Zihui about this a few years earlier, instead of assuming that Duan Zihui actually knew about it.

Then, Yan Zhen showed a surprised expression again: “So, Qingyu’s ex-husband didn’t know that they had a child?”

Xie Qingyu had never told her that her ex-husband didn’t know he had a child.

Xu Yi nodded: “Duan Zihui really doesn’t know.”

Yan Zhen asked him, “It seems that Qingyu’s ex-husband’s family is quite wealthy. How did you get to know him?”

Xu Yi recalled that a few years ago, he was just a down-and-out 18th-tier singer in Yan Zhen’s place, so he didn’t mention that he and Duan Zi were childhood friends.

He just said lightly, “We were classmates.”

Yan Zhen seemed to be lost in thought.

She felt a little sleepy, and since she hadn’t found any signs of her husband having an affair, she yawned, went to the bathroom, and went to sleep.

She planned to ask Xie Qingyu about the father of the child another day.

However, Duan Zihui’s speed was obviously faster than hers.

The next morning, before Xie Qingyu woke up, Zhuzhu was already awake.

The little girl watched TV for a while, but got so bored that she started nagging Xie Qingyu.

She struggled to pull her mother up and then coquettishly said, “Mom, I’m so bored! Hurry up and get up to play with me.”

Xie Qingyu had been reading a sleazy, savage, kidney-diggering novel until 3:30 last night, tears streaming down her face.

Now she had a headache and eye pain, but her daughter had been clamoring for her to get up and play games with her since 7:00…

Xie Qingyu was really troubled.

The aunt who had been taking care of her had taken leave for some business back home…

Xie Qingyu hugged the quilt, wishing she could tie herself up in bed and have sex with Zhou Gong¹Zhou Gong, or Duke of Zhou, is also known as the “God of Dreams”. The Analects record Confucius saying, ‘How I have gone downhill! It has been such a long time since I dreamt of the Duke of Zhou.’. This was meant as a lamentation of how the governmental ideals of the Duke of Zhou had faded, but was later taken literally. In Chinese legends, if an important thing is going to happen to someone, the Duke of Zhou will let the person know through dreams: hence the Chinese expression “Dreaming of Zhou Gong”. forever.
