Chapter 552: Chapter 427: A Future Without Yin Shixiu (Part 1)

"I really thank you, thank you for everything you’ve given me over the past three years. It’s just... Shixiu, I think when it comes to love... sometimes it’s gone in the blink of an eye."

Su Xiaomeng smiled, and at the moment she turned around, in Yin Shixiu’s eyes, it seemed to freeze into eternity.

In an instant, fear crawled up from his feet, spreading throughout his body.

————

Su Xiaomeng left home with Shuangshuang and Huang Huang.

Before the door closed, Eric and Qin Hui could still hear Su Xiaomeng coaxing the children,

"Dad is busy, when he’s free, he’ll come and be with you."

Yin Shixiu heard it too.

In truth, it was quite self-mocking... Dad is busy.

Just these three words made the siblings firmly believe it was such a good and real reason.

When the door closed, the living room was in a mess, Claire was about to come in and tidy up, Yin Shixiu said to her,

"After tidying up, contact madam, no matter which hotel, go and take care of them."

"Yes, sir."

Claire quickened her pace in cleaning up.

She made a phone call to Su Xiaomeng, Su Xiaomeng answered, asked where she settled, and said she would come over to take care of them, and Xiaomeng didn’t hide it.

She wasn’t hiding from anyone.

Besides, if Yin Shixiu really wanted to know where she was staying with the kids, it would be too easy.

No need to hide or say, there’s no need.

Claire smoothly found out the hotel Su Xiaomeng was staying at, reported it to Yin Shixiu, then packed up and went over.

Qin Hui had never seen such a scene before.

Speaking of which, it was just a family, the couple at home had a quarrel, but snapping back to reality...

Qin Hui was startled, just felt that this was a battlefield just now, with bombs exploding all around!

"So... no hot pot, right?"

It was Eric who broke the silent atmosphere in the living room, which even Qin Hui found inappropriate!

At this time, talking about hot pot!

But,

"You want to leave, huh?"

Yin Shixiu looked on coldly, eyebrows slightly raised, glanced at Eric.

Eric’s blue eyes instantly shifted away, feeling very guilty...

"Since it’s not hot pot, why should we stay... Just now you and Xiaomeng had a fight, I helped you, didn’t I? I guess my mission is accomplished?"

Eric said with a bit of a cheeky grin.

"It’s so cold, Xiao Hui and I will not stay and bother you, we’re taking off now."

"I’ll have the driver take Qin Hui home, you stay."

Yin Shixiu’s words left no room for negotiation, he picked up his phone and called the driver.

Qin Hui knew that Yin Shixiu and Eric had things to discuss, so she didn’t fuss, and quickly said,

"No need, I’ll just take a taxi back, Eric, we’ll have hot pot together another day!"

Qin Hui smiled at him, acting as if she didn’t care at all.

This behavior made Eric feel even more guilty.

"Take your time on the way back, send me a text when you get home."

"OK! Well then... Mr. Yin, bye."

Qin Hui changed her shoes, opened the door, left the room, closed the door again, but stood outside without leaving right away...

She wasn’t a fool, not an idiot.

Eric...

Qin Hui took a deep breath, as she came back to herself, tears welled up in her eyes, she sniffed and then quickly walked away.

Inside the room at that moment...

Nearly a six-foot-three guy was curled up on a sofa, quite a distance from Yin Shixiu.

Yin Shixiu lit a cigarette, put the lighter aside, and looked up,

"The child is yours, am I wrong?"

Eric’s playful smile slipped away, his chiselled features tinged with self-mockery,

"See, I messed things up again."

Yin Shixiu took a hard drag on his cigarette, then pressed the cigarette butt into an almost new ashtray,

"What about the woman?"

Eric desperately ran a hand through his hair, then looked up at Yin Shixiu,

"I can’t acknowledge that child! I like Xiao Hui!"

"Do you think she’s a fool? After thinking it over, you think she can be easily fooled?"

"She... she’s simple and naive, she believes what I say..."

Eric said, even though there was some uncertainty in his words, but... he felt Qin Hui’s behavior just then said it all.

"I thought what I said, Su Xiaomeng would believe too."

"..."

Eric looked up, Yin Shixiu got up,

"You can deny the child is yours, but it doesn’t mean Chu Jiao won’t investigate, don’t forget what a smart woman she is."

Eric clenched his fists,

"Did you see her reaction? When she found out it was me that night, and not you, her disgusted expression..."

"Arthur, I hate her so much."

"... You wanted to be with her, shouldn’t you have used protection?"

Yin Shixiu glanced at him, obviously exasperated by Eric’s recklessness and carelessness.

"You only said she was at the hotel alone with no one caring for her, you didn’t say she was so drunk and desperate... You knew I had feelings for Chu Jiao, she was tugging at her clothes, calling come on, come on, how could I hold back?"

"I lost control for a moment... I didn’t expect these consequences."

Eric raked his hair again,

"I only wanted to possess her... After so many years, she knew my feelings for her, yet she still treated me like dirt, Arthur, I am Eric Windsor, women line up for me, yet she was so disdainful!"

"I wanted to retaliate against her a little, she likes you, doesn’t she..."

"Eric, I don’t care about your arrogance, stubbornness, or twisted mind, you could sleep with this woman, I’m truly impressed."

"..."

Eric rolled his eyes at him, muttering,

"When you were young, you..."

Before he finished speaking, Yin Shixiu glared back at him,

"Go upstairs and sort this out, you made this mess, you fix it."

"Arthur, you’ve got to help me with this... I have no feelings for her anymore."

This was sincere.

"I’m not a good man, sleeping with a woman means little to me, I thought Cherry might be special, but after sleeping with her... it didn’t feel special..."

Yin Shixiu glanced at Eric.

"Don’t look at me like I’m trash, before you were married—"

"I’m almost getting a divorce because of you!"

"... It’s not entirely my fault, Xiaomeng’s mistrust surely stems from something you’ve done before!"

Eric countered quickly.

Yin Shixiu was speechless.

But the next second, he kicked Eric out of the room, and the two went upstairs.

————

Su Xiaomeng with Shuangshuang and Huang Huang stayed at a hotel near London Ocean Park.

That way, they could go to Ocean Park tomorrow with Shuangshuang and Huang Huang.

Shuangshuang seemed fine, but Prince Huang was always sensitive, if he suddenly had to live in a different place, he would surely find it strange.

Xiaomeng’s own savings weren’t much, but she carried the sub-card of Yin Shixiu’s black card.

She hadn’t used it much before, but now she used it with great ease.

The presidential suite and what not, calling it for a dozen days at a time.

The hotel staff was as attentive as can be.

Shuangshuang and Huang Huang were treated like royalty.

Xiaomeng swiped the card freely, but didn’t really enjoy this noble treatment, her mood... just couldn’t lighten up.

Claire arrived quite quickly.

The presidential suite also had a kitchen and bathroom, and Claire busied herself inside and out.

Shuangshuang and Huang Huang were lying there watching cartoons, completely engrossed, whether they understood it or not, Xiaomeng didn’t know. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Xiaomeng lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling, feeling very dizzy, her hand on her forehead, utterly exhausted...

She began to think... about the future.

A future without Yin Shixiu... What kind of future would that be.

At the moment, with her eyes closed, her tears slid down, and her heart truly ached.

Love, sometimes... is gone in the blink of an eye.

This is what she told Yin Shixiu.

She married him because they loved each other.

Getting pregnant with Shuangshuang and Huang Huang was just the catalyst; she had never cared about his responsibility.

If love is gone, she thought, he would let her go too.
