Shen Xiu paused when he heard this.
However, the next moment, Mei Feng opened the door.
At once, they heard Xia Nuannuan’s voice coming from the bedroom, “Stay away.”
Although there seemed to be anger in her voice, because Xia Nuannuan was a mild and tender person, she was extremely gentle in her speech. Hence to the listener, it could come across as her throwing a girlish tantrum rather than being harsh.
Mei Feng inquired, “What’s happening?”
Shen Xiu strode in and threw open the bedroom door.
At once, he was stunned by the scene he saw.
The bare-bodied Liu Haiyang was right on top of Xia Nuannuan.
And Xia Nuannuan, on the other hand, wasn’t properly dressed.
Shen Xiu’s pupils shrank back immediately, as he felt a wave of fury rise within him. He pointed at them and shouted angrily, “You- you two!!”
Mei Feng widened her eyes too and gasped, “Xia Nuannuan, what are you two doing? Who is this man? It’s- it’s no wonder you don’t even want to come home! Zihao has just gone on a business trip and you can’t even wait?! You two cheaters! How could you do this to Zihao?!”
At these words, Liu Haiyang frantically scrambled off Xia Nuannuan.
He stood in front of Xia Nuannuan protectively and asked, “Who are you? How did you get in? Nuannuan and I are each other’s true love.”
Hearing the words “true love” somehow agitated Shen Xiu.
At that time, hadn’t Xia Yehua and Tianyu’s father been each other’s true love?!
He fumed immediately and pointed at Liu Haiyang, shouting, “You, get lost! This is my daughter-in-law!”
Upon hearing the words “daughter-in-law,” Liu Haiyang pretended to finally realize who these two people were.
He panicked at once and glanced at Xia Nuannuan. “Xia- Xia Nuannuan and I, we truly love each other. Please let her go. Let her leave with me!”
Xia Nuannuan was in a daze because of what was unfolding before her eyes.
Things were happening too fast and she could not make sense of what was going on.
In the beginning, she hadn’t understood, as it wouldn’t have been possible for Liu Haiyang to do anything to her since she was unwell. Why did he have to act as though something was going on between them?
But now everything was clear to her.
Her eyes reddened as she tightened her fists. Her body was trembling.
Trembling with anger and shame. And on top of that, a sorrow which she had not experienced before overwhelmed her completely.
She bit her lip as she watched Liu Haiyang still putting on this act. She mouthed his name, “Liu. Hai. Yang!!”
That heartbreaking voice, she had never felt before.
She had always been an extremely gentle person, but in that moment, she was like a demon unleashed.
Liu Haiyang froze upon hearing this.
Mei Feng, however, looked at Xia Nuannuan and said, “Xia Nuannuan, Zihao has treated you so well, how could you do this to him?! How do you expect him to face his peers now?!”
Xia Nuannuan immediately lifted her blanket.
Apart from her pyjama being torn on one shoulder, she was fully clothed.
She glared at Mei Feng and then at Liu Haiyang. Finally, she shifted her gaze to Shen Xiu.
She walked up to Shen Xiu slowly and said, “Dad, I did not- Nothing happened between Liu Haiyang and I! I don’t know why he did this, Dad, you have to believe me. I want to look for Zihao, ask him to come back now.”
Before she could finish, Shen Xiu suddenly raised his hand. With a sweep of his arm, his hand came down and landed mercilessly on her face.
The sound was crisp and clear, and rang through the apartment.
