Chapter 4 Picking Up Wife
I turn around and see Xie Nanchen walking toward me.
He naturally drapes his coat over my shoulders.
One hand firmly wraps around my waist—in a protective stance.
"I'm here to take you home."
An invisible confrontation is happening.
Both of them are expressionless, but the veins bulging on the backs of their hands say everything.
I take the initiative to hook my arm through Xie Nanchen's and smile at him.
"Thank you, Husband. Let's go home."
Xie Nanchen's expression softens slightly.
Once we're in the car, I let go of his hand.
"Drive."
Xie Nanchen looks at his now-empty arm, purses his lips, and says nothing.
I've stared at the computer screen too long today. My head feels heavy.
I yawn.
A bit of physiological tears gather at the corners of my eyes.
I lean against the window and fall asleep.
……
I wake up in bed.
Xie Nanchen isn't in the room.
The other side of the bed doesn't even have the trace of anyone lying there.
He didn't sleep all night?
The barrage quickly gives me the answer.
【Female lead slept straight through to morning, while the second male lead spent the whole night suffering in the study.】
【He saw the tear marks at the corner of the female lead's eyes and thought she was crying for the male lead. I'm dying.】
【Damn, the second male lead must be terrified they're going to rekindle their old flame.】
【Forget the second male lead—even I'm worried. Is the female lead about to ask the second male lead for a divorce?!】
Stop stop stop—what are you all even talking about.
I decide to go downstairs and explain things clearly to Xie Nanchen.
Aunt Li tells me he's already gone to the company.
