Chapter 517: 516
"What are you thinking about?" Qin Yanyang fixed her gaze on Yang Fei and asked.
Yang Fei snapped back to reality, and seeing his wife’s somewhat scrutinizing look, he couldn’t help but feel a bit guilty.
Shit, how could he entertain such thoughts in front of his wife?
He immediately refocused his thoughts and put on a casual front, chuckling, "I was thinking about what Yang Wen just said, it seems that the Yang family is indeed in need of more children."
As he spoke, he deliberately glanced at Qin Yanyang’s belly a few times.
Qin Yanyang’s blush deepened at the remark, and she lightly pinched Yang Fei’s arm, scolding, "What are you thinking about? We’re still young. The current situation is unstable and we might become very busy soon. Where would we find the time to have children?"
"I’m just saying, I’m not asking you to have one right now." Saying this, he pulled Qin Yanyang into his arms, chuckling again, "But now that Yang Wen mentioned it, I’m actually quite looking forward to seeing what our future child would look like. A boy or a girl?"
A softness flickered in Qin Yanyang’s eyes, as she too began to imagine that possibility.
"Brother, Sister-in-law, come down for breakfast, or it’ll get cold. I still need to rush to school, I have a class this morning." Yang Wen’s urging voice was heard.
Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang exchanged a glance, setting aside their dreams of the future, and they walked hand in hand downstairs.
After breakfast, Qin Yanyang wanted to take Yang Wen to school, but Yang Fei said, "I’ll go."
Qin Yanyang said, "Why would you go? I have to go to work at the university anyway, so it’s on the way."
Yang Fei was taken aback and asked, "You still need to work at the university?"
"No kidding, the work at the university is also very important. I need to personally oversee it lately," Qin Yanyang replied.
Yang Fei was puzzled.
Given that Qin Yanyang was acting director of the Military Department and had a lot on her plate, and from their discussions over the last couple of days, he could tell that her stress was significant, so why did she continue to hold onto her job at Binhai University?
It seemed that Qin Yanyang had noticed Yang Fei’s confusion, and she couldn’t help but reveal, "The work I’m doing at the university is special too. I can’t tell you about it now. You’ll know when you start working."
Something clicked in Yang Fei’s mind after hearing this, and while he was now even more curious, he didn’t press for answers in front of Yang Wen.
Not long after Qin Yanyang left, a message from Tong Yunshu came in.
"Has your wife gone to work yet?"
Yang Fei was speechless. The timing was just too perfect.
"Not yet," Yang Fei replied mischievously, playing along.
"Stop lying, I just bumped into her."
Yang Fei’s expression shifted slightly.
There’s no way Tong Yunshu was bold enough to have someone secretly surveil Qin Yanyang, right?
Impossible, she knew Qin Yanyang’s identity and wouldn’t be that foolish.
But the thoughts of a woman in love, vying for affection, could be very different from a normal person’s. Tong Yunshu was also a woman, and it wasn’t guaranteed that she would always be clearheaded.
With this in mind, Yang Fei stepped out of the villa and dialed Tong Yunshu’s number.
"Have you forgotten the old for the new? I clearly saw her leave Binjiang Garden, but you say she hasn’t gone. Don’t you want to meet me anymore?" Tong Yunshu’s voice carried a tone of melancholic reproach.
Feeling a twinge of guilt and a soft heart upon hearing her voice, Yang Fei didn’t dare to question whether she was secretly monitoring him and Qin Yanyang. He softly said, "How could I? You know what kind of person I, Yang Fei, am. Whether it’s to you or to Yanyang, my feelings are genuine, I wouldn’t dare to be unfaithful."
"Then why did you say she hasn’t left?"
"I just wanted to tease you a bit. I’m already on my way to our usual spot. You didn’t get enough yesterday, today you’ll be begging for mercy."
"You brute!"
"Heh heh, hurry up and get ready for me," Yang Fei said into the phone.
Having experiences with two women, Yang Fei believed he had come to understand them somewhat.
Each woman has her own allure.
Both Qin Yanyang and Tong Yunshu were top beauties in their own right, with great looks, figures, and charm. Yang Fei felt that he had struck it rich in this lifetime.
"You look lovely," Tong Yunshu chided softly, then added, "I’ve got something important to tell you."
"What we were just talking about was important too."
"That was nothing serious. My grandpa is back; he asked me to pick him up and said he wants to meet you. I was planning to have him invite both you and your wife over tonight, but it seemed he was in a hurry. He ran into your wife going out just now, so he asked me to give you a call." Tong Yunshu said.
Upon hearing this, Yang Fei responded earnestly, "Senior Zhu is here?"
"Mm-hmm, are you free to meet him?" Tong Yunshu asked.
Yang Fei said, "Why wouldn’t I be?" Then, a thought struck him, and he asked, "By the way, does your grandpa know about us?"
"...He probably does," Tong Yunshu’s voice grew softer, her tone tinged with loss, "To outsiders, no matter what, I’m playing a role that isn’t honorable, one that people look down on."
Yang Fei felt a surge of guilt and quickly said, "I’m sorry, I can only put you through this for now, but rest assured, I will definitely give you a satisfying explanation."
"Hmph, men’s promises are a deceiving ghost’s lies. Your wife comes from such a powerful family, and she’s so outstanding, strong, and domineering; how could you get her to acknowledge my existence?" Tong Yunshu huffed.
Thinking about Qin Yanyang’s personality, Yang Fei also felt a bit uncertain.
But he had already spoken boldly, and deep down, he truly felt that way, so he said, "Don’t worry, I have my ways."
On the other end of the phone, Tong Yunshu’s lips curved slightly upward, and a touch of tenderness flickered in her eyes.
She genuinely liked Yang Fei. The fact that she threw herself into the arms of this man, despite knowing he was married, was proof enough of her resolve.
Compared to Third Grandpa’s considerations for the future of the Tong Family, Tong Yunshu’s thoughts were simpler.
She admitted that at first, she did indeed want to latch onto Yang Fei as a golden son-in-law, but she was willing to give herself to him because she realized she had true feelings for the man.
Her bold and forthright nature led to the current relationship between them. Now that Yang Fei was being so considerate of her, Tong Yunshu felt satisfied and believed her efforts were worthwhile.
They continued talking on the phone. As Yang Fei stepped out of the residential complex, he saw a large G car honking nearby and flashing its headlights at him.
"Get in," Tong Yunshu’s voice came through the phone.
Yang Fei turned his head and saw Tong Yunshu sitting in the driver’s seat. He had excellent eyesight and could see her through the reflective windshield at a glance. His heart skipped a beat.
Damn.
This woman was daring, driving up to Qin Yanyang’s residential area to pick up Qin Yanyang’s husband!
Worried about being seen, Yang Fei looked around quickly before he hurried over and got into the passenger seat.
"Look at you, still dreaming of having your cake and eating it too," Tong Yunshu couldn’t help but laugh.
Yang Fei cleared his throat and said, "It’s just not the right time yet. Let’s go."
Tong Yunshu turned the car around and headed toward the airport.
Yang Fei’s gaze wandered over Tong Yunshu, growing more pleased the more he looked.
She was wearing a beige hollow-out knit shirt that day, her long hair tied high behind her head, making her already pale and long neck look even more seductive.
That face, that aura, that body...
Tsk, tsk.
Yang Fei finally understood the depth of that saying he’d seen online.
It had to be a married woman.
Especially one he had crafted himself—it was simply perfection.
He couldn’t resist holding her hand. It was soft, supple, and exceptionally smooth, with a light fragrance that was intoxicating.
Tong Yunshu let the man hold her hand, openly enjoying their intimacy.
"By the way, my grandpa seemed quite eager to meet you, but he should have your cellphone number. Why didn’t he just contact you directly?" Tong Yunshu pondered her grandpa’s tone on the phone and mentioned it to Yang Fei.
Yang Fei frowned slightly and nodded, "Yeah, he does have my number. Why didn’t he just call me? We’ll find out when I see him after he lands."
