Chapter 981: I Feel Like A Demon

Just as Zhao Fei had thought.

The Zhao Family wanted to negotiate with Deng Tianwen.

But Deng Tianwen completely ignored them and kept avoiding the meeting.

And so, time dragged on like that.

In the blink of an eye, another 10 days passed.

Ye Shilong had long left with Ye Shihu, afraid more trouble would arise if they stayed.

Zhao Chen went to see Deng Tianwen for the 38th time but was once again turned away. As usual, he ended up at the house of the female teacher Zhao Fei had taken him to.

During these 10 days, Zhao Chen had been visiting her frequently; they basically slept together every day.

But Zhao Chen didn’t know that his wife was also sleeping with Xu Shaochen almost daily.

“Knock knock…”

Zhao Chen knocked on the female teacher’s door.

A moment later, the door opened.

The female teacher immediately threw herself into Zhao Chen’s arms and whispered in his ear, “Chen, I’m pregnant.”

Zhao Chen stood there, dumbfounded, his mind blank. After a long moment, he came to his senses. “W-what did you say?”

“I’m pregnant.”

The female teacher repeated with a big smile.

“Is… Is it mine?”

Zhao Chen’s voice trembled.

The teacher pursed her lips. “My husband hasn’t been home recently, and I’ve only been with you. If it’s not yours, whose could it be?”

After she finished, the teacher looked at Zhao Chen anxiously. “Chen, if you don’t want the baby, I… I’ll go get rid of it.”

“No! I want it, of course I want it! Hahaha! You’re a hero of the Zhao Family.”

Zhao Chen laughed heartily and gave her two big kisses on the face. The frustration of being ignored by the Deng Family these days was completely gone.

He had yearned for a child for so long.

But despite being married to Yuxiu for such a long time, she had never gotten pregnant, which annoyed him greatly.

Now that another woman was carrying his child, of course he was happy.

As for what he had told Yuxiu about not wanting a child for the time being, that was just to comfort her because, despite sharing a bed for so long, they’d never conceived.

He had actually been suspecting all along that Yuxiu might be infertile.

“Come on, let’s go to the Hospital to check again. If you can give birth to a son, I’ll take care of you for life.”

Zhao Chen said this, eagerly dragging the female teacher to the Hospital for an examination.

However, what Zhao Chen didn’t know was that from the moment they left the teacher’s house to their arrival at the Hospital and even when they left, everything had been caught on camera.

The person behind this was Zhao Fei.

Following Xu Shaochen’s advice, Zhao Fei knew there was no way Yuxiu would betray Zhao Chen due to the guilt she felt.

But what if Zhao Chen had another woman’s child?

That was an entirely different matter.

Was the teacher pregnant? Of course, she was. But the baby wasn’t Zhao Chen’s, it was her husband’s child, and she’d been pregnant for two months.

Zhao Fei bribed the doctor at the Hospital to change the pregnancy timeline to half a month to deceive Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen’s mind was so fixated on having a child that he didn’t notice these small flaws in the story.

In two weeks’ time, Zhao Chen would fully lower his guard toward the female teacher.

……………

That evening, in Xu Shaochen’s private residence.

Xu Shaochen got off of Yuxiu.

Yuxiu let out a breath, propped herself up on the sofa, and started getting dressed.

“Why not meet at the Hotel? Coming here could get us caught.”

Yuxiu asked calmly. At this point, she treated being with Xu Shaochen like a routine chore.

After all, Xu Shaochen had been asking to meet her almost every day, and it had become a habit.

Besides, she could experience pleasure from Xu Shaochen that Zhao Chen could never give her.

Men can be so different from each other.

“Do you know if Zhao Chen has a notebook? Help me find it and bring it to me.”

Xu Shaochen said gently as he pulled her into his arms.

Yuxiu’s face immediately changed. She pushed Xu Shaochen away and said without hesitation, “That’s impossible. I’m already betraying him, I won’t do something like that.”

“What if he betrayed you first?” Xu Shaochen asked.

Yuxiu frowned, “What do you mean?”

Xu Shaochen smiled and opened a document pouch on the table, revealing a stack of photos.

“Take a good look. This woman is pregnant with Zhao Chen’s child. These are pictures of them at the Hospital for a prenatal checkup.”

Yuxiu grabbed the photos in a panic, and her whole body went stiff, as if struck by lightning. She was on the verge of collapsing.

“You’ve been married for so many years and haven’t gotten pregnant. Now, another woman is carrying his child. Do you think Zhao Chen still cares about you? Maybe he’s even thinking of replacing you with a new wife.”

“After all, for guys like him, beautiful women are everywhere, but having a child isn’t something that happens every day—don’t you agree?”

Xu Shaochen whispered as he wrapped his arms around Yuxiu’s waist and leaned in close to her ear, tempting her.

“No, it’s impossible… This can’t be…”

Yuxiu, full of disbelief, shook her head continuously, trying to tear the photos apart as if on the verge of falling apart herself.

If Zhao Chen had just cheated, she wouldn’t care at all; in fact, it would bring her a sense of relief, given that she had also betrayed him.

But Zhao Chen had impregnated another woman, and that she couldn’t ignore. That was a direct threat to her position.

How would she ever face the Zhao Family again? How could she return to her own family now?

“Help me get that notebook. I won’t ruin him; at most, he’ll be left with nothing. That’s the punishment he deserves.”

“Remember when I asked you why, after so many years, you and Zhao Chen still didn’t have a child? You said it was because he didn’t want one. Well then, what’s growing in this woman’s belly?”

“Or maybe Zhao Chen just doesn’t want your child?”

Xu Shaochen felt like a demon, pulling this woman step by step into the abyss of evil.

“No, I won’t agree to that, I won’t… I won’t…”

Yuxiu shook her head repeatedly, muttering the same words over and over, as if trying to convince herself.

Xu Shaochen knew it was time to change tactics. “Do you really think you’re in a position to negotiate with me? The only reason I’ve been kind is out of respect for you. Don’t make this difficult for me, okay?”

Yuxiu, of course, knew exactly what Xu Shaochen meant by ‘change tactics’: he would threaten her with their affair.

Yuxiu felt like her life was falling apart.

Ever since she met Xu Shaochen, her world had been turned upside down.

“Zhao Chen will divorce you eventually. He’ll want to legitimize his son, and you’ll be thrown out like trash—is it worth it?”

“I already told you, I won’t destroy him, I just want to take a few things from him and get some revenge for you.”

Xu Shaochen said this while pushing her onto the sofa again.

But this time, Yuxiu didn’t lie motionless like before. Instead, she responded passionately, as if trying to release something—or maybe even deluding herself into thinking she was taking revenge on Zhao Chen.
