My CEO Husband Has Some Issues

Chapter 132 - 132: 132: Must Properly Solve This Matter

Li Shengxiao sipped the hawthorn and date water she had made. The sweet taste, which used to be one of his most hated, was damnably good now.

He lifted his head, his piercing gaze locking on to the person close at hand. His Adam’s apple made a slight movement, and his sexy thin lips parted as he asked, “Are you inviting me?”

Her sudden suggestion of a bath, in a home that was just theirs and well past ten at night, didn’t feel like normal conversation to him.

Li Shengxiao’s eyes darkened inch by inch, his fingers clearly gripping the water cup, desire and restraint flickering in his eyes, along with sparks of fire.

Rong Yan felt as though she was burning up under his possessive gaze and hurriedly explained, “Didn’t I say I would prepare a prescription for you, to treat your migraines? I’ve been thinking about the formula for the past few days and researched a lot of materials. Today, when I went out, I stopped by the pharmacy and had the medicine prepared. So, I was asking if you wanted to take a bath to see how effective it is…

Her explanation only made things worse—her moist, reddened lips moving, coupled with her concerned eyes. Li Shengxiao’s gaze slightly hardened, and a wave of heat surged through his lower abdomen. Using all his self-control, he averted his gaze and rushed toward the bathroom, saying, “I’m going to take a bath. ”

“Huh?” That quick?

Rong Yan thought she would need to explain more to clear the ambiguous atmosphere, but in the blink of an eye, he had already entered the bathroom.

Click.

The bathroom door closed.

It was only afterward that she realized.

Fuck, he didn’t take the medicine packet with him!

Rong Yan knocked on the bathroom door again, handed in the medicine packet, and after telling the man inside, who had changed into a bathrobe, how to use it, she scurried out of the bathroom as if fleeing.

When she returned to her own bedroom, Rong Yan’s heart was still thumping wildly.

She forcefully expelled from her mind the image of someone’s strikingly toned body and the visible lines under his bathrobe, and opened up her laptop.

She first searched the internet for the latest news about herself.

Indeed, after a whole day of fermentation, she was nearly as hated as a rat crossing the street, everyone clamoring to strike her down. In addition to that, the legal letter that Nick Studio issued was deliberately spun by hired commenters to suggest ‘so much time has passed, where could you find evidence of infidelity. She’s just relying on the fact that no evidence can be produced to deliberately hire a lawyer, trying to cleanse her name. If there was no such affair, what normal man would tell reporters that he was cuckolded’.

There was no denying it, Rong Weiwei played a good hand with public opinion.

With commenters deliberately leading the narrative, even some who believed in her began to waver.

Only a few fans of Zhong Yuye continued to stand by her side to speak for her, but their feeble strength was hardly seen amidst the tens of thousands of messages vilifying her.

At this time, Rong Weiwei still didn’t forget to ride the wave of attention, and whether deliberately or coincidentally, she allowed reporters to capture her and Shi Mufeng leaving HuanYu together.

In the footage taken by reporters, Shi Mufeng attentively helped her open the car door, with all kinds of thoughtful gestures, and the two exchanged affectionate looks, warm and seemingly very much in love—a perfect couple.

And she was cast as the shameless stepsister in the story of the prince and Cinderella!

Malicious, hypocritical, greedy, fickle…she was painted with the worst traits a woman could have, all thanks to Rong Weiwei!

If she couldn’t properly resolve this incident, she might truly have to leave the entertainment industry as she did five years ago..
