Chapter 490 - 18 Addressing Issues_2
Despite her reluctance to admit it, she was actually somewhat afraid of and guilty toward Lin Xiaoguai. Her fear stemmed from the woman’s excellence; other than in age, she couldn’t find a single aspect where she felt superior. Sometimes she even second-guessed herself, thinking that choosing such an opponent might have been foolish. But the moment she thought of Shen Chi, all hesitation vanished.
She yearned for that man, even in her dreams.
As for the guilt... she wasn’t ignorant of morality and etiquette and clearly understood that intruding into someone else’s marriage was wrong. But Shen Chi’s temptation was so great that she simply couldn’t control herself.
She always thought that once she and Shen Chi were together, she would tolerate Lin Xiaoguai in every way possible. As long as Shen Chi had her in his heart, she wanted nothing else. His status and wealth didn’t matter to her, and she would treat his children well. She even considered that it wouldn’t matter if she never had children.
Fortunately, Lin Xiaoguai was unaware of Xu Meimei’s thoughts, or else she might have been disgusted to death.
"Little Aunt, what’s the deal with this woman?" Han Xinyu asked after Xu Meimei left.
"It’s just the same old story," Lin Xiaoguai avoided the question.
Nuonuo, being the junior, it wasn’t her place to tell him these things.
And with her fiery temper – now pregnant – it wouldn’t be good if she got worked up.
Han Xinyu thought it was just some people sucking up to his Little Aunt, so he didn’t press further. Instead, he continued enthusiastically telling her how delicious the dishes at this restaurant were.
Back home, Lin Xiaoguai became more and more depressed the more she thought about it.
She didn’t know about the situation in her past life, but what was happening now? Shen Chi hadn’t given Xu Meimei the time of day, so why was she so fixated on a married man?
