Even though Tang Yi was known as Mrs. Shen, she had no official status, because she had not been able to bear a child for Shen Ye.
Although he seemed to marry her for business, Shen Ye had never restrained himself in bed.
The neon lights outside shone through the windows and blurred everything in the room.
Tang Yi could no longer tell how many times she had done so. Her fingers were clutching tightly onto the man's muscular back, leaving scars of varying depths.
Fluids of shameful nature were flowing all the way from her thighs to the ground.
Shen Ye paused slightly. He scraped his index finger against Tang Yi's snowy white legs and pushed himself up to meet her gaze.
Tang Yi opened her mouth in a daze.
Shen Ye's teasing gaze instantly became as deep as the sea.
All of a sudden, he started exerting force...
Tang Yi opened her eyes as if she was frightened, and Shen Ye's tense jaw was reflected in her eyes. He was cold and charming, and beneath Tang Yi's intense eyes was a hint of obsession with this man.
After finishing up everything, Shen Ye came out of the shower and pursed his lips as he picked up the torn clothes on the ground and threw them into the trash can.
He was rarely so rude and brash, even though he had been married for two years.
It was just that he had been on a business trip for days, and had been deprived of his sexual needs, hence the reason behind him losing control earlier on.
The light shone on the big wedding photo on the bedside table and it was reflected onto Tang Yi's crystal white legs. Some liquid could be seen flowing slowly out from between her legs.
She seemed to feel it. She opened her empty eyes and slowly closed her legs, as if she was afraid of even losing the tiniest bit of this liquid.
Shen Ye and Tang Yi looked at each other. A trace of ridicule flashed through Shen Ye's eyes, which had remained calm the entire time.
He strode over and placed his moderately callused fingers on her slightly swollen belly, which were in a way, full of his "children".
Tang Yi's body trembled sensitively.
Shen Ye frowned and withdrew his hand.
However, Tang Yi could clearly see the disdain in his eyes. It was like a sharp knife piercing into her heart mercilessly.
She turned around and went to sleep.
......
The next morning, Fang Qiuying, Shen Ye's mother, came to their house because she had got the news of Shen Ye's coming back.
Tang Yi dressed up neatly and went downstairs. She saw a strange woman in their living room.
When the woman saw her, her gaze paused for a second as she looked at the kiss mark on Tang Yi's neck, and then she raised a gentle smile. "Hello, Mrs. Shen, I am Song Lian, Shen Ye's personal doctor."
As the hostess, Tang Yi responded politely to her.
A woman's sixth sense is always horrifyingly accurate.
From the moment Tang Yi set her eyes on Song Lian, she knew immediately that she wasn't a simple woman.
Song Lian took over her place as soon as she entered the house. She prepared a whole table of delicacies that all happened to be Shen Ye's favourite dishes. They were chatting and eating happily all the time as they went through the food. She looked as if she had been together with Shen Ye for many years.
Every time Song Lian looked at Shen Ye, her eyes were full of love.
At this very moment, Tang Yi felt as if she were an intruder in this relationship between a loving couple.
She kept her head low and hid all kinds of emotions in her calm eyes.
After the meal, Fang Qiuying stopped smiling and instructed Tang Yi, "Don't just sit around now that we are done eating. Help Madam Li clean up."
Madam Li said quickly, "It's ok, Madam. I can do it by myself."
Fang Qiuying threw her a cold glance, and Madam Li knew immediately that she had to keep her mouth shut, given the situation.
Tang Yi got up and cleaned up the mess on the table silently.
Just as Tang Yi came out of the kitchen and was wiping her hands, she saw Shen Ye chatting with Song Lian by the railing of the upper floor. Song Lian seemed to be amused by him as she beat him in a cute manner.
Her hands froze at that very moment, and she could not bring herself to look away.
Shen Ye smiled and turned his face. Seeing Tang Yi downstairs, he stopped smiling and went inside with Song Lian.
Tang Yi's heart ached. She looked back and saw that Fang Qiuying had popped out of nowhere.
"Mom."
When Fang Qiuying heard Tang Yi address her like this, her expression turned into one of disgust. "Go and buy some food with Madam Li later."
She said the name of the dishes she wanted, and explained deliberately, "These are Song Lian's favourite dishes. You should leave earlier and buy some fresh food back."
Tang Yi had a calm expression on her face and nodded.
Fang Qiuying's words were like invisible punches, hitting strongly onto a cotton ball.
When Tang Yi came back in the afternoon, Song Lian was sitting alone in the living room.
Song Lian smiled. "I think that Shen Ye is already tired of the same dishes and I want to learn some new tricks. Do you have a recipe book at home?"
Tang Yi nodded. "Yes, I'll get it for you."
The recipe book was in the study.
Tang Yi had always been a silent walker. As she arrived at the door of the study room and was just about to enter, she overheard a conversation going on inside.
"You should know how much you owe Song Lian. As a man, you shouldn't need me to teach you what you should do, do you?"
"Tang Yi is just a trading tool for the company's development. You have no feelings for her. Song Lian has already come to you by herself. Are you going to make her lose her reputation and be criticised by others?"
Fang Qiuying's tone was excited and she raised her voice unconsciously. Tang Yi could hear her voice clearly even across a thick door.
Her heart sank to the bottom.
In the past two years, because of her identity as Mrs. Shen, she had endured countless humiliations.
Fang Qiuying kept on talking for a long time. Tang Yi couldn't hear what Shen Ye was saying inside.
Her feet seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and she could not move her feet.
Fang Qiuying lost her temper and she suddenly opened the door.
Tang Yi's face turned pale and she was caught eavesdropping.
Fang Qiuying had an angry look on her noble face. She looked at Tang Yi with strong dissatisfaction in her eyes and pushed her to the ground. When she tried to leave, her feet heavily stepped on Tang Yi's hand. "Tang Yi, since you don't have the ability to bear children for Shen Ye, you should let Song Lian do it for him!"
