Surrounded by the Billionaire's Deep Doting-Chapter 537 - 412: An Eternal Secret
The days passed quickly, and Su Xiaomeng’s cold got better as her mindset adjusted.
For the past few days, Xiao Meng has been recuperating at home. Although Claire is excellent at taking care of people, Yin Shixiu mostly took care of her personally.
With Xiao Meng’s health improved, the happiest ones were Shuangshuang and Huang Huang.
Firstly, they felt Dad hasn’t stayed at home for this long in a while, as he usually leaves early and returns very late.
Secondly, after yearning for many days, they finally got to snuggle up to Mom!
"Balancing work and family without a hint of complaint, where do you find such men? Ma’am, you’re truly lucky."
Claire said to her, and Xiao Meng thought, well, she is indeed luckier than most people.
The knot in her heart wouldn’t disappear, but it also wouldn’t turn into a malignant tumor, eroding her body.
A setback like this is boundless freedom, and that’s roughly what it means.
Xiao Meng felt she handled the matter quite properly, without scrutinizing, investigating, or verifying, and those decisions were all correct.
Dad once said, an unclear person actually lives a happier life.
Xiao Meng always believed this saying, although Mom always stubbornly thought Dad was just making excuses for his own muddle-headedness!
Checking the time, Xiao Meng said,
"Isn’t it about time to pack the luggage? Once he returns, we can leave."
Yin Shixiu arranged a private jet, and even though it wasn’t Xiao Meng’s first time flying in one, she always felt money flows away like "water rushing " with each trip.
Living with Yin Shixiu for a few years, Xiao Meng has changed greatly in many aspects, except her understanding of money still rests on that of an "ordinary resident."
If she continued with this mindset, Yin Shixiu’s earnings might just end up mouldering in the bank.
Claire nodded,
"Hmm, almost time."
"Actually there’s not much to pack, just the coffee beans I had prepared earlier and a few gifts, that’s all."
Living essentials are available at the Beijing residence.
Claire responded and went to pack the luggage.
Xiao Meng leaned on the sofa, holding a cup of hot ginger tea, while the siblings lay on the sofa, probably tired from playing earlier.
When Yin Shixiu returned, the siblings were already refreshed and brimming with energy.
Xiao Meng told them they would soon see Grandpa and Grandma, Grandpa and Grandma, and Great Grandpa...
Shuangshuang and Huang Huang missed them dearly. After all, compared to their parents, these relatives only ever pampered them and never reproached them.
They are relatives, how could the little ones not be excited.
Su Xiaomeng approached and took his bag,
"Everything’s packed; the gifts for Mom and Dad, Grandpa and Grandma, and presents for the kids are all ready, filling up one big suitcase!"
Yin Shixiu gave her a hug, "Thank you."
Su Xiaomeng shrugged, "It’s alright. How about your day, was it smooth?"
"Yes, everything went smoothly; dealing with the remaining matters in Beijing will be more convenient."
Yin Shixiu checked the time, it was already past six in the evening...
"Let’s have a meal first, then head to the airstrip."
"Okay."
With that, Claire had already dragged the suitcase out, a big one and a small one, the door opened, and the driver outside took their luggage.
Yin Shixiu glanced at Su Xiaomeng, helped adjust her hat, and wrapped her scarf properly,
"Don’t get sick again, if you’re ill when we arrive in Beijing, Mom and Dad will surely interrogate me."
"Shouldn’t you be interrogated?"
Su Xiaomeng raised an eyebrow and asked.
"...Yes."
Shuangshuang and Huang Huang each carried a small backpack, which presumably contained their favorite toys...
The siblings ran excitedly following the driver, ignoring Yin Shixiu and Su Xiaomeng behind.
Yin Shixiu embraced Su Xiaomeng’s shoulders, pulling her close...
"What are you doing?"
"It’s cold outside, wrapping you tightly."
Su Xiaomeng rolled her eyes, noticing his scarf was not tied properly, she reached out to adjust it.
Yin Shixiu lowered his head and kissed her.
Su Xiaomeng paused for a moment, then glanced at him speechlessly,
"The kids are right ahead, be careful!"
Su Xiaomeng muttered, looking forward, not immediately spotting the siblings, but noticed Chu Jiao approaching with a fruit basket and fresh flowers.
Chu Jiao saw them kissing...
Her posture stiffened slightly, but she quickly adjusted her expression and walked straight over,
"Xiao Meng, I was just going to visit you at home. You haven’t been to school in days; is your health better?"
Su Xiaomeng didn’t expect Chu Jiao to visit her; Yin Shixiu still had her in his arms, making it a bit inconvenient, Xiao Meng slipped out of his embrace, seeing Chu Jiao carrying a fruit basket and flowers...
"For me?"
"Yes, but...seeing you like this, are you heading somewhere far?"
Su Xiaomeng nodded, "Yes, going to Beijing for the New Year, will return after the holiday."
"After New Year, will you be able to keep up with your classes at school?"
Su Xiaomeng chuckled, pointing at Yin Shixiu, said,
"See, I was very sick a few days ago, and he insisted I stay away from school, said he’d help me catch up with my classes."
The sweetness in Su Xiaomeng’s eyes, to Chu Jiao appears somewhat piercing.
Following Xiao Meng’s gesture, Chu Jiao naturally shifted her gaze to Yin Shixiu,
"With Mr. Yin’s help, your wife will surely be fine."
"As long as you don’t give her a hard time, she’ll be fine."
"Mr. Yin jokes, why would I make things difficult for her, she’s a student I really like... does Mr. Yin have a prejudice against me?"
Chu Jiao continued smiling and asked.
Su Xiaomeng quickly glared at Yin Shixiu,
"How can you speak to my teacher like that! Why would she make things difficult for me?"
Yin Shixiu reached out and pulled Su Xiaomeng back to his side, hinting,
"Not sure, people are unpredictable, don’t take the teacher thing too seriously, teaching is teaching, learning is learning, student-teacher is just student-teacher."
Su Xiaomeng couldn’t fathom what Yin Shixiu meant by that.
Anyone could tell his words weren’t very friendly.
Chu Jiao didn’t get angry,
"Seems Mr. Yin truly holds quite a prejudice against me; student-teacher is just student-teacher, I understand..."
She paused, raising her eyebrows, gazing at Yin Shixiu with a bit more affection,
"Rest assured, Mr. Yin, I don’t intend to have any other relationship with your wife..."
"That’s good."
"Your wife is a very excellent student; my visit is simply a show of care from a mentor to a student."
Su Xiaomeng didn’t understand what got into Yin Shixiu.
After these words, how could she still be friends with Chu Jiao?
Xiao Meng felt annoyed, but didn’t want to make a scene in front of Chu Jiao.
"This fruit basket and flowers..."
"Thank you for your kind gesture; you see, it’s inconvenient to bring these along."
Yin Shixiu’s voice was chillingly cold.
Su Xiaomeng could barely stand it, quickly stepped forward to accept the fruit basket and flowers,
"It’s convenient, thank you, Cherry! I’ll take these!" 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
Yin Shixiu slightly frowned.
"Dad, Mom!"
The eager voices of Prince Huang and Shuangshuang rang out, urging them.
Xiao Meng didn’t keep the kids waiting, then bid farewell to Chu Jiao.
Carrying the fruit basket and holding the flowers, it was somewhat inconvenient, so she handed the flowers to Yin Shixiu, "You take it!"
Yin Shixiu glanced at the flowers in his arms, only finding them pungent, with his other hand wrapping Su Xiaomeng, thus walked past Chu Jiao...
Brushing past her, Chu Jiao softly spoke to Yin Shixiu,
"Rest assured, Arthur... I won’t say anything. This will remain a forever secret."
"..." Yin Shixiu cast her a glance.
Chu Jiao maintained a beautiful smile... as always.
Before entering the elevator, Yin Shixiu casually placed the flowers on the trash bin outside the elevator.
Chu Jiao saw as the elevator closed that Xiao Meng attempted to retrieve them but was pulled back by Yin Shixiu, muttering something, leaving Su Xiaomeng looking a bit like a disgruntled wife...
