《Sweetness Drowning: Callous Boss and Awkward Wife》C46. Another Conflict
Advertisement
Yu Yu is happy with her tricks. She has already imagined the day when Yu Fei goes out from the Civil Affairs Bureau with a dejected and despondent look. Ko Chen’s altitude makes her think that day won’t be too far.
In the afternoon, lawyer Wang stays in the office for more than two hours and then leaves. When she sends him to the elevator, she wants to ask but hesitates several times. At last, lawyer Wang enters the elevator and she still keeps silent.
Yu Yu dare not ask Ko Chen, either. If Ko Chen becomes mad at her, she will feel like going for wool and coming home shorn.
Although Yu Fei is at the center of the event, she knows nothing about this at all. She stays at home all the time, and turns off her phone, isolating herself from the outside world. She has completely become a so-called“indoors woman” now.
She has nothing to do but watch the TV. She flips through channels. But there are only boring soap operas or unfunny variety show programs. The former make her sleepy. The latter are so noisy that her head aches and she has no mood to to watch them anymore.
She simply turns off the TV. Sitting on the sofa with a back cushion in her arms, Yu Fei looks at the celling blankly. She closes her eyes. It is quiet in the house. Only the clock on the wall ticks. At this moment, time seems to slow down.
When she is dozing off, the door bell rings. Yu Fei shivers for a second. Then she opens her eyes suddenly, throws away the back cushion and goes over to
With a confused look, Yu Fei takes over the package. She glances at the name and address of the sender. It is an unfamiliar name. She has never been to that place where the package comes from, and she doesn’t know anyone there.
After she signs up, Yu Fei closes the door and comes to the sofa and sits down. She looks at the strange package. It is packed inside a big envelope. She touches it and feels that it is hard and thick. It is something like papers.

“What on earth is it?”
Yu Fei says to herself, beginning to open it by ripping a hole. She empties it and pours out the things onto the tea table.
Seeing the things in front of her, Yu Fei freezes. They are photos. And it seems that she is in the photos.
Yu Fei has a bad feeling rising in her heart. She takes one of them. Her hands begin to shiver with the photo because of psychological effects. But she sees it clearly. She and Gu Yi are in the photo.
The moment Yu Fei sees it, she recalls immediately that it was shot on the day when she came to that mall with Gu Yi. On that day, she couldn’t help crying because she was agitated.
But she remembers clearly that she didn’t cry for a long time. Why were there so many photos?
Putting away the photo, Yu Fei looks through all the other photos. They are in all the photos. Apparently, the person who took these photos wants to make people think Gu Yi and Yu Fei are in an intimate relationship.
Yu Fei cannot figure out who else would do this kind of boring thing except Yu Yu.
Is this woman crazy? Yu Fei puts all the photos back to the envelope with rage and throws them into the trash bin. Out of sight, out of mind.
However, soon she realizes a severe problem. If it were Yu Yu who took these photos, she would not just send them to Yu Fei based on her personality. Maybe Ko Chen has already seen them before her.
The more she thinks about it, the more she thinks it is possible. Her heart sinks little by little. Many times she tries to convince herself to let it go, but when Ko Chen comes to her mind, she finds that it is not that easy to get over him and give up the there years they spent together.

When it occurs to her that Ko Chen would misunderstand her because of these photos, she feels a heavy load on her mind.
No. Ko Chen already misunderstands her because of the abortion three years ago. This time, she wouldn’t let him misunderstand her again. It is for the sake of their baby, not for herself.
Yu Fei makes up her mind and presses the power button of her phone. When the power is on, a few messages jump out on the screen. They are from Gu Yi and Yu Yu. There is even a missed call from Wang Feng. Yu Fei ignores them and calls Ko Chen.
The phone just rings for two seconds before Ko Chen picks it up. His low voice comes from the receiver and stirs the strings of her heart.
“Hello?”
Ko Chen’s voice doesn’t change. But the tone is cooler than before. It is as if he were talking to a stranger. Maybe Yu Fei matters less importantly than a stranger to him.
Yu Fei’s palms become numb. She swallows because of nervousness. She forgets every word she prepares to say. Ko Chen hears Yu Fei’s breath coming from the phone and he has an illusion that Yu Fei is still at his elbow.
“Did you receive something weird?” Yu Fei opens her mouth with difficulty. She has no idea how to describe those photos. If Ko Chen hasn’t receive them but she describes them to him, then there will be nothing she could do to clear her name.
Hearing Yu Fei’s question, Ko Chen guesses that Yu Yu has mailed those photos to her as well. His heart aches and he feels sorry for her. However, the words coming out of his mouth are cold and cruel: “Weird things? You mean those photos of you and a guy hugging each other?”
Yu Fei’s heart misses a beat. Sure enough, Yu Yu also mailed the photos to Ko Chen.
Having no other thoughts, Yu Fei’s first reaction is to explain to Ko Chen:
“Chen, I can explain. I didn’t……”
It turns out that Ko Chen does not give her a chance to explain. He hangs up the phone. Yu Fei hears the busy signal from the receiver with a shock. The temperature of her heart lowers gradually.
No need to say anything. His reaction proves everything.
The phone drops from Yu Fei’s hand. She doesn’t understand why Ko Chen would like to trust someone else instead of her. Is she not trustworthy?
What do those three years mean to him? Is it her own wishful thinking?
Yu Fei feels like her head burning. She feels so painful that she holds her head with her hands. A clear tear drops from her eyes. She murmurs to herself: “My baby, what should mom do……”
Yu Fei is tired of crying. She lies down on the sofa and falls asleep. There are still tear stains on her face. If Ko Chen sees her like this, he would definitely feel heartbroken.
Yu Fei doesn’t sleep well. Ko Chen’s condition is not well, either. Without any symptom, his disease came again. He fell down in his office. Fortunately, Yu Yu got off work and left early. Otherwise, she would see this.
Uncle Zhang picked Ko Chen up and sent him back to Ko house. After a while, Duan Tsingfeng came. He spent twice the amount of usual time to control his disease.
Duan Tsingfeng swipes the sweats on his forehead. He looks at his friend lying in the bed and sighs.
They couldn’t put off curing Ko Chen’s disease anymore.
