Chapter 1113 - 733: The Seven-Year Itch (Part 5)
"It’s easy for you to say since you’re not the one taking care of the kids!""..."
Yin Shixiu was at a loss for words, blocked by Su Xiaomeng’s remark...
Even though he’s busy and returns home infrequently, and even though this year he has neglected the family a bit, he is definitely not a "hands-off" father. Xiaomeng should understand this better than anyone.
Yet now the words come from the person who should understand the situation best, saying he’s not a "qualified" father.
In that moment... Yin Shixiu felt somewhat hurt.
For a while... he also felt a bit... unappreciated.
Grabbing Su Xiaomeng’s wrist, Yin Shixiu said nothing further and directly pulled her into the master bedroom. The door closed, and suddenly Su Xiaomeng was pressed against it by Yin Shixiu.
"What are you doing? You’re hurting me!" Su Xiaomeng frowned, feeling the man’s sudden aggression was unreasonable.
"Su Xiaomeng, what’s going on with you?"
"What’s going on?"
Su Xiaomeng frowned, wanting to break free from Yin Shixiu’s hold, full of impatience and pretending not to understand.
"I can understand you being angry at me, questioning me, or even blaming me, but there are certain things anyone else can say, but you cannot!"
Yin Shixiu was gripping Su Xiaomeng’s arm, perhaps his strength was somewhat out of control, which turned her frown of impatience into a distorted expression due to the pain in her arm.
Seeing her painful expression, Yin Shixiu immediately realized his mistake, swiftly loosened his grip, and apologized in a low voice. He then looked at her with helplessness and a touch of pleading.
"Tell me honestly, did someone say something to you, or did something happen during the days I was away..."
Su Xiaomeng looked intently at Yin Shixiu, meeting his eyes.
This man was still the same, wrinkles hadn’t increased, his skin hadn’t worsened, only his experience was continually growing.
No one had said anything to her, and even if they did, she’s past the stage where she’d believe whatever people say.
She understands her husband better than anyone.
She knows how he came out of difficult rehabilitation, how he overcame pain and psychological pressure, how he led the Yin Family forward, and how he established his authority as the head of the family...
She understands all this better than anyone.
He is a cautious and wise man, someone with high intelligence and equally high emotional intelligence.
So...
For his shirt to have another woman’s lipstick stain... Yin Shixiu might not know what it means, but she does.
It’s not that Yin Shixiu did something unfaithful, the bonds of marriage they’ve built over the years, survived life-and-death trials together, it’s not enough to make her doubt his loyalty.
But... this man indeed and unquestionably gave another woman an opportunity, an opportunity to show superiority to her!
This has never happened before...
He would never give any ambitious woman, who wished to disrupt their marital relationship, a chance.
"Do you have an answer to the question I asked you last night?"
Su Xiaomeng didn’t answer Yin Shixiu’s question; instead, she asked him.
"..."
"After I return to the country, will you be taking care of the kids or will I?"
Su Xiaomeng assumed he had forgotten, so she patiently asked again.
Yin Shixiu looked at her resolutely, saying word by word,
"I’ll come back with you all."
