Surrounded by the Billionaire's Deep Doting-Chapter 556 - 431: Torment (Part 1)

Su Xiaomeng squinted, picked up the red wine on the table, and splashed it on his face with a "splash".

"Yin Shixiu, I’m not you!"

This glass of wine was thrown impulsively, and after splashing it, seeing Shuangshuang and Huang Huang’s frightened expressions, Xiao Meng immediately regretted it so much that her throat felt dry.

Looking at the two children, for a moment, she didn’t know how to end this.

"Mom... Mom..."

Shuangshuang called out to her, her voice trembling, the crying tone at the end of her words made Xiao Meng even more unable to ignore.

"Shuangshuang, mom..."

Xiao Meng opened her mouth but didn’t know how to explain to the kids, they’re so young...

It was just an instant, but many thoughts flashed through Xiao Meng’s mind.

Mom said that life is too short, and no one is worth her being unhappy.

But looking at these two children, for them, what is not worth it...

If it weren’t for them, she could be alone, but the children keep looking at her, they want mom, and dad too. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Should they have to accept an incomplete family at such a young age?

There was a battle in her mind, and at this moment, their actions also attracted the attention of other customers. The waiter stood by, hesitating whether to step in and stop them.

Just then, Yin Shixiu extended his hand and directly pulled Su Xiaomeng onto his lap!

With the other hand, he wrapped around her waist and kissed her!

Shuangshuang and Huang Huang were so startled they hadn’t had time to cry before seeing mom and dad kissing again...

Given their current relationship, how could Su Xiaomeng comply with Yin Shixiu’s actions? Naturally, she struggled, but Yin Shixiu almost gritted through her teeth,

"Do you want the kids to keep being scared?"

With one sentence, Su Xiaomeng stopped struggling and let Yin Shixiu kiss her for quite a while.

Her eyes were closed, but to her, this kiss was just acting. He wanted things to get deeper, but Xiao Meng was clearly refusing.

"Um... Dad, Shuangshuang wants a kiss too..."

Shuangshuang tugged at Yin Shixiu’s sleeve, pouting and approaching.

Yin Shixiu let go of Su Xiaomeng, his hair and face still covered in wine, making his fine suit look completely disheveled.

Su Xiaomeng wasn’t foolish. She smoothly asked the waiter for a wet wipe and apologized,

"Sorry, we were just playing a little joke."

"No problem."

The waiter, courteous and polite, said this, showing professional integrity, but internally must have been deeply criticizing them!

No problem, my foot, they scared them half to death! If something had really happened and customers complained, the ones who’d be in trouble would be the staff.

Of course, internal grumbling is just that.

They still had to bring the hot towel.

Xiao Meng took the towel to wipe Yin Shixiu’s face, apologizing with a smile as she did.

Of course, this was all for the children to see.

"No problem."

Yin Shixiu also said it, but he was being honest.

Her being mad at him, no problem; if she wanted to curse him or hit him, no problem; splashing wine on him in public, no problem...

But don’t break up with him, and don’t be with another man.

That would be a problem.

Yin Shixiu’s gaze made Su Xiaomeng instinctively avert her eyes.

Shuangshuang pouted and kissed dad several times on the face, soon laughing and saying,

"Mom, next time it’s Shuangshuang’s turn!"

Such a routine...

Su Xiaomeng felt a tad embarrassed, acknowledging that showing affection in front of the kids should be restrained, best avoided, but Yin Shixiu and Su Xiaomeng didn’t really do this.

Normally, when the couple was at home, it wasn’t unusual for them to suddenly kiss while watching TV.

And Shuangshuang, whenever seeing them, couldn’t help but approach.

Clamoring to have a kiss too.

Now, there was Prince Huang standing on the sofa seat, watching the three of them, lost in thought, not understanding...

Upon a closer look, with an expression that seemed like he’d rather not know them at all...

With oil and wine stains all over, Yin Shixiu felt very uncomfortable.

The family didn’t foolishly continue staying there, enduring the probing glances of onlookers, and left for the room Xiao Meng had booked.

Su Xiaomeng really didn’t want Yin Shixiu to step in, because if he did, what difference would there be from being at home?

But they couldn’t escape the siblings’ constant watch.

Yin Shixiu came over, bringing no change of clothes. She thought she’d use this as an excuse to drive him away, but he’d already called the hotel staff to prepare.

After all, who would neglect a black card user?

By the time Yin Shixiu finished his shower, the staff had prepared a new set of clothes. When Su Xiaomeng saw it, it turned out to be all brand names, which made her glance at the staff member...

The staff smiled and wished them a good night, encouraging them to call if needed.

Money really seems to make the world go round these days.

Xiao Meng was about to take the clothes to the bathroom when she saw Shuangshuang and Huang Huang standing at the door through the translucent partition wall.

The bathroom door was frosted glass, faintly revealing the silhouette of the person showering inside.

The sound of the water wasn’t too loud.

"Dad, look at the shark tomorrow!"

Shuangshuang shouted outside, and Prince Huang echoed,

"Ocean Park!"

"Dad, not going to work tomorrow, right?"

"Yeah, dad said so."

"Tomorrow, taking you to Ocean Park, I know."

The person bathing still had to humor the siblings’ chatter.

The siblings didn’t feel they were bothering dad at all, leaning on the door since it couldn’t stop them from communicating with their dad.

The two chatted incessantly, intermittently.

Sometimes, what they said didn’t make sense, and sometimes, Prince Huang would say one long sentence.

His logic was limited, but he sure spoke a lot.

Leaning against the wall, Su Xiaomeng felt utterly chaotic inside.

To think, from Cherry’s visit with the pregnancy check-up sheet in the morning until now, it was only a matter of hours.

But these hours felt like she’d been skinned, leaving her bloody and raw.

She wanted a moment to breathe, yet he wouldn’t let her.

With her hand over her forehead, her cheeks warmed, and tears unknowingly rolled down.

She was genuinely exhausted; internally, she was sincerely tormented.

If he cared, if he didn’t want to separate, why did he repeatedly deceive her?

The water in the bathroom stopped, yet Shuangshuang continued chatting.

Su Xiaomeng sniffed, quickly adjusting her emotions, stepping in before the bathroom door opened to pass him the clothes.

"Put them on, once the kids are asleep, we’ll go out and talk."

"..."

Yin Shixiu didn’t say much, taking the clothes.

Su Xiaomeng led Shuangshuang and Huang Huang to the other bathroom to wash their feet and faces.

Changing into warm fleece pajamas, the little ones climbed onto the big bed. The suite had two bedrooms; the smaller one wasn’t small either, but seeing dad on the big bed, Shuangshuang and Huang Huang quickly ran over.

Yin Shixiu told them stories...

Su Xiaomeng put the books and notebooks she brought on the study desk.

When she came out again, Shuangshuang and Huang Huang were already fast asleep.

Yin Shixiu glanced at her, closed the children’s storybook, took his coat, and went out with Su Xiaomeng.

They walked to the hotel garden, where the fountain was still running. As the cold wind blew, the water mist struck their faces, feeling cold and painful...

"Meeting Han Tan was just by chance, didn’t intend to sit at the same table."

Su Xiaomeng opened, the first sentence seemingly an explanation.

She felt herself so wretched...

But she was even less inclined to get entangled with him over unnecessary issues.

"I don’t believe it."

Unexpectedly, Yin Shixiu lightly said such a thing.

Su Xiaomeng’s steps halted, feeling the night wind even colder, she turned back and looked at him,

"Why don’t you believe me?"

"And you, what makes you not believe what I say?"

Yin Shixiu looked at her, the man a head taller than her, with questioning in his words yet helplessness in his eyes.

Su Xiaomeng clenched her fists, him asking what makes her not trust him...

Fine, let’s clear things up.

"Chu Jiao. Why did you hide your relationship with her — oh, no, I should say deceive me?"
