Secretly Married to the Ice-Cold CEO-Chapter 411: Being Together with the One You Love
Mrs. Yu laughed, "What are you trying to hide? I saw Xiao Yu’s shoes and bag. She’s inside, isn’t she? Boy, it’s not unusual to bring your fiancée home. Why are you so shy?"
Yu Zheng thought quickly and decided to go with it: "Yes, she went to bed late last night. We don’t have any meetings this morning, so we aren’t in a hurry to go to the company. You can go back first."
Mrs. Yu sat at the dining table, "I just want to have breakfast with you two. Are you already tired of this old lady so soon?"
Yu Zheng was running out of words. If his mother didn’t leave soon, the truth would be exposed.
His mother already didn’t like You Lifen. If she found out the woman inside wasn’t Xiao Yu but You Lifen, would he be kicked out of the house?
You Lifen was awakened by their conversation. She opened her bleary eyes and yawned, "Yu Zheng, who’s out there..."
Yu Zheng quickly shut the door and rushed to the bed, covering You Lifen’s mouth. She was scared half to death. What was going on? Was he going to kill her to silence her?
Mrs. Yu found it strange now. That voice didn’t sound like Xiao Yu.
She went to knock on the door, "Yu Zheng, Xiao Yu, come out and have breakfast. I brought plenty of food that you like."
You Lifen’s eyes widened. It was over. Her reputation was truly done for now. This was her future mother-in-law. She couldn’t ruin her image!
Yu Zheng whispered a warning to You Lifen, "Don’t make a sound. If my mom finds out, I will..."
You Lifen nodded vigorously, signaling that she wouldn’t make a sound.
Yu Zheng released her and said loudly, "Xiao Yu isn’t feeling well. Mom, you should go back. I’ll take care of her."
Mrs. Yu was even more unwilling to leave now, "What’s wrong with her? You young people just don’t have any self-control. If she’s not feeling well, she needs to see a doctor, understand?"
"Understood. She just needs to sleep a bit more. You can go back now."
Mrs. Yu was still worried. She knew she couldn’t shamelessly stay any longer, lest the young couple get upset.
She said, "Then I’ll go. Xiao Yu, you come home with Yu Zheng for dinner tonight. I’ll cook something delicious."
Yu Zheng answered for You Lifen, "Okay, got it."
You Lifen was dying with jealousy. His mother treated Gong Xiaoyu so well. What could Gong Xiaoyu be dissatisfied about?
Mrs. Yu picked up her bag and left. Yu Zheng heard the door lock in the living room. He let out a sigh of relief; the crisis was over for now.
He told You Lifen, "Quick, take your things and leave. Don’t let my mom see you, or there’ll be no explaining it."
You Lifen grumbled, "Am I that embarrassing to you? Humph! You’re just afraid Gong Xiaoyu will misunderstand."
Yu Zheng was used to her temper, "I said leave, so just leave."
You Lifen pulled a face at him. She got out of bed and blushed when she saw the sheets.
There were several conspicuous menstrual bloodstains on the clean sheets.
Of course, Yu Zheng saw it too. He took a deep breath and said, "What kind of anti-leakage pad are you using? It doesn’t work on someone as rough as you! In your next life, you might as well be a man."
He checked his pajamas, luckily they hadn’t been affected by her period.
Embarrassed even further by his words, You Lifen couldn’t retort. She started reflecting on whether her sleeping posture was really that bad.
But she couldn’t control her state while sleeping!
You Lifen felt a little wronged, "Fine, I’ll change the sheets. I’ve never done this kind of thing before."
She was just saying it. Who knew Yu Zheng would take her seriously, "Hmm, go change the sheets then."
You Lifen was furious. Where was this man’s emotional intelligence?
No wonder Gong Xiaoyu didn’t like him. Even she wanted to punch him!
Mrs. Yu pressed the elevator button. Just as the doors opened, her phone rang.
She saw the caller ID. Xiao Yu was calling. Was she really feeling that unwell?
She answered the call while heading back, "Xiao Yu, are you really not feeling well? I haven’t gone far. How about I take you to see a doctor? I know a famous Chinese medicine practitioner."
Gong Xiaoyu was confused. Why was she unwell? "Aunt Yu, where are you?"
"Silly child, I’m right outside your door. No need to open the door; I have a key."
Still sorting out the situation, Gong Xiaoyu couldn’t make sense of what Aunt Yu was saying.
"Aunt Yu, I was calling to invite you and Uncle Yu over for a meal. My mom wants to see you."
Mrs. Yu said, "That’s great. We’ve been colleagues for years; no need to be so formal... Alright, I’m coming in. We’ll talk in person."
Gong Xiaoyu was even more confused, talk in person?
"Aunt Yu, I’m at home. Did you come to my place?"
Mrs. Yu was puzzled, "You’re at home? Aren’t you at Yu Zheng’s apartment?"
"No, I didn’t go over."
Mrs. Yu’s heart sank. She walked quickly back through the living room and opened the bedroom door.
Yu Zheng was talking to a woman, who wasn’t his future daughter-in-law. It was You Lifen!
Yu Zheng and You Lifen were discussing the sheets when the door suddenly opened. His mother stood there, looking shocked and furious.
Both of them were startled. You Lifen adjusted her nightgown, "Auntie."
She glanced at Yu Zheng. Didn’t he say Auntie had left?
Yu Zheng was at a loss. Who could have anticipated his mother would come back?
Mrs. Yu was trembling with anger. She walked over and pulled back the blanket. The bloodstains on the sheets made her vision go black.
It was over. The evidence was conclusive. Caught in the act!
She slapped You Lifen and yelled, "You vixen! My son Yu Zheng has a fiancée, and you still throw yourself at him. Didn’t your mother teach you about chastity? I knew people from your circle were... dirty and messy!"
Yu Zheng tried to stop her, but it was too late. You Lifen was stunned. She touched her swollen, red cheek, the words of Aunt Yu echoing in her mind.
Yu Zheng pulled his mother away, "Mom, you don’t understand anything. Why are you hitting her?"
"What don’t I understand? How do you explain the blood on the sheets? And her wearing your pajamas? How... how can you face Xiao Yu?"
Mrs. Yu’s heart ached. She remembered the call hadn’t ended. Seeing the phone still in the call, she wobbled and sat down in a chair, "You go explain to Xiao Yu. I’m done with you!"
Yu Zheng glanced at his mother’s phone. He hurriedly took the call, not knowing where to start, "Xiao Yu, it’s all a misunderstanding. Listen to me, I..."
Gong Xiaoyu hung up the phone.
She sat stupidly on the sofa. Gong’s mother pushed her, "What’s up? If you don’t go to work now, you’ll be late."
"Oh, nothing. I’m going to work now."
Gong Xiaoyu, absent-minded, went to the garage to get her car. Sitting in the car, it took her a while to piece everything together.
Had Yu Zheng and You Lifen really slept together?
She wasn’t sure what to feel. Yu Zheng wasn’t the type to mess around. If he had really taken this step, it meant he had accepted You Lifen from the bottom of his heart. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
Gong Xiaoyu exhaled. If he truly liked You Lifen, she could let him go.
You Lifen was bossy to others but very submissive to Yu Zheng. They complemented each other well.
Morning sunlight streamed through the car window. Gong Xiaoyu shielded her eyes. Being with the one you love is what brings true happiness, right?
