Chapter 972: Your Wife Really Isn’t Bad

The door was locked.

But for Xu Shaochen, who had injected the Genetic Serum, it was too easy.

With one forceful twist, the lock broke.

The quality is really bad.

“Ah! You… What are you doing here!?”

Seeing Xu Shaochen, a disheveled Yuxiu’s face flushed red. She felt a mix of shame, anger, and shock.

“Miss Yuxiu looks like she needs some help! Why not call me? I’m friends with Zhao Chen, no need to be so polite.”

As Xu Shaochen spoke, he closed the door to the cubicle.

Under the effect of the drug, although Yuxiu knew she shouldn’t do this, she was unable to control her actions.

Forty minutes later…

Everything returned to quiet.

Yuxiu, humiliated and furious, raised her hand to slap Xu Shaochen.

Xu Shaochen grabbed her hand and said casually, “Not recognizing people right after putting on your pants? Miss Yuxiu, you’re being too heartless.”

“You… You’re shameless!”

Yuxiu cursed in anger, thinking that Xu Shaochen was the one who had drugged her.

“If you yell louder, you’re going to get everyone to come see.”

Xu Shaochen remained calm, with a mocking grin on his face.

One had to admit, Yuxiu really wasn’t bad.

People used to ask him what kind of woman he’d want as a wife.

He’d always been too embarrassed to say it, but his favorite was someone else’s wife.

Yuxiu immediately fell silent. She couldn’t let others find out about this.

Otherwise, she would be ruined. Her family would also lose face because of her, leaving her homeless.

As for getting revenge on Xu Shaochen.

That was even more impossible. What could she do to him? For now, her world felt bleak.

“Alright, stop making that face like you’re about to die. Strictly speaking, you’re the one gaining here. An older woman with a younger man.”

Xu Shaochen pinched her smooth cheek.

“Get out!”

Yuxiu angrily slapped his hand away, feeling like crying but with no tears. How had she not realized his shamelessness earlier?

“I’ll be in the Northwest for a while. In the next few days, I hope you won’t refuse my invitations. After all, I’m looking for a local guide.”

Xu Shaochen spoke calmly as he dressed, leaving no room for refusal.

“In your dreams!”

Yuxiu gritted her teeth. Once was already too much.

Xu Shaochen chuckled, gripped her chin, and coldly said, “I didn’t hear you clearly. Say it again?”

Yuxiu shuddered in fear, bit her lip, and then nodded.

Xu Shaochen smiled, gently patting her cheek. “Good girl. I don’t like disobedient women.”

“This… this matter… Please don’t tell others. I’ll do anything for you.” Yuxiu stammered, truly scared of Xu Shaochen at this point.

“Don’t worry, only you and I know about this. I won’t tell anyone, especially not Zhao Chen.”

Xu Shaochen’s smile grew even brighter when he mentioned Zhao Chen, making Yuxiu more ashamed.

In reality, Deng Tianwen and Zhao Fei both knew about this. There was no such thing as ‘just you and I then’.

“I’ll leave first. Clean yourself up and come out later.”

With that, Xu Shaochen left the bathroom.

He acted just like a playboy, leaving immediately after getting dressed, not lingering.

“How was it, Young Master Xu? Were the dumplings good?”

Seeing Xu Shaochen come out, Zhao Fei winked at him, feeling a bit jealous.

He hadn’t even touched her, but Xu Shaochen had already enjoyed her.

Now, after Xu Shaochen had been with her, Zhao Fei had no chance.

“I just made a call to my family inside. I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Xu Shaochen said without changing his expression. Even though he knew Zhao Fei was aware of what had happened, he’d never admit it.

So, if you want to rise above others, you must first learn to be shameless.

Zhao Fei laughed and let it go, afraid to make Xu Shaochen angry. There was no need for more discussion, they both knew.

A little over ten minutes later, Yuxiu came out as well.

Yuxiu had returned to her usual high and noble demeanor, untouchable to the commoners.

However, when looking at Xu Shaochen, her expression was somewhat unnatural, her guilt showing.

Soon, Zhao Chen and Deng Tianwen emerged from the elevator.

They had discussed something that left Zhao Chen in a foul mood.

“Xiu Xiu.”

Zhao Chen approached Yuxiu, his expression softening.

“Husband.”

Yuxiu’s face was still unnatural, especially since she had just done something to betray Zhao Chen.

“Big Brother, Sister-in-law.”

Zhao Fei walked over, and Xu Shaochen went to Deng Tianwen.

“Mr. Xu, this is my wife.”

Seeing Xu Shaochen approach, Zhao Chen had no choice but to greet him.

“We’ve met. Miss Yuxiu and I had a great conversation earlier.”

Xu Shaochen chuckled and glanced meaningfully at Yuxiu.

Yuxiu avoided his gaze and forced a smile. “Yes, Mr. Xu is very knowledgeable and well-spoken.”

“Zhao Chen, your wife really isn’t bad.”

Xu Shaochen complimented Zhao Chen with a smile.

“Mr. Xu, you’re too kind. Marrying Xiu Xiu is the greatest fortune of my life.”

Zhao Chen smiled proudly.

Only Yuxiu understood the true meaning behind Xu Shaochen’s words.

Deng Tianwen glanced at Zhao Fei, who nodded.

Deng Tianwen then looked at Zhao Chen with sympathy in his eyes.

All four of them knew Zhao Chen had been cuckolded, but he remained clueless.

“By the way, what were you talking about earlier?”

Yuxiu, afraid that Xu Shaochen might continue to bring up the earlier topic, quickly changed the subject.

Zhao Chen’s face darkened again. “Nothing important, just listening to Deng Shao’s wild, unrealistic fantasies.”

“Well, whether it’s unrealistic or not remains to be seen,” Deng Tianwen retorted coldly.

Zhao Chen sneered dismissively.

Fool. The Deng Family’s steel supplies are cut off; they’ll be lucky to survive.

“Husband, I’m feeling a bit tired. I’d like to go home now.”

Yuxiu said to Zhao Chen, desperate for a bath since she felt uncomfortable all over.

“Let’s go then. It’s about time anyway. We’ll head out together.”

Zhao Chen checked his watch and said to Deng Tianwen, “I hope Deng Shao will reconsider my offer. We’ll take our leave for tonight.”

“It seems I’m a little late.”

Just then, a casual voice rang out.

Everyone turned toward the voice.

They saw Ye Shilong and Ye Shihu walking in from the entrance.

“Young Master Ye! Not late at all! You’re just in time. The real party only starts when you’re here.”

Zhao Chen let go of Yuxiu and hurried to greet him with a fawning smile, obsequious in his flattery.
