The Cannon Fodder Ex-Wife Changes to Take the Black Moonlight Script - Chapter 80
After Wei Yixian got in the car, the first thing Shang Shiqian did was sniff her.
Wei Yixian looked at her with a half-smile. “What are you doing?”
“You really didn’t drink!”
“Am I some kind of alcoholic?”
“Aren’t you?”
Wei Yixian shot her a sidelong glance.
Shang Shiqian met her gaze firmly without backing down.
“I thought you’d want to check if there were any unfamiliar perfume scents on me.” Wei Yixian leaned closer, making it easier for her to smell her more clearly.
Shang Shiqian: ?
Why would she do something so pointless?
Given President Wei’s pickiness, if anyone got perfume on her, she’d be the one making the biggest fuss, right?
After pondering for a few seconds, she suddenly understood: “You want to prove you weren’t fooling around outside?”
“Pfft.”
Pu Feifei, who was driving, let out a very brief laugh clearly trying hard to suppress it but not entirely succeeding.
0.1 seconds later, with lightning-fast reflexes, she lightly tapped the horn to cover the sound.
Wei Yixian glanced at her through the rearview mirror.
Pu Feifei: …
She stared straight ahead, pricking up her ears only to focus on the situation outside the car, driving with utmost concentration.
Shang Shiqian didn’t notice this small interruption. She said, “Don’t I trust you? Relax, I won’t overthink things.”
Wei Yixian withdrew her gaze, then took off her glasses, closed her eyes, and rubbed her Jingming acupoint, looking unwilling to engage further.
Thinking she was tired from socializing, Shang Shiqian placed a headrest for her so she could rest properly.
Wei Yixian: …
The car slowly pulled into the garage.
Just as Shang Shiqian was about to get out, Wei Yixian pressed her hand down and said to Pu Feifei, “You can both go rest now.”
“Okay.” Pu Feifei got out of the car and left in a somewhat hurried manner.
As Shang Shiqian was about to ask Wei Yixian what she was up to, a kiss carrying a sweet, clear fragrance suddenly descended.
The reading light in the car wasn’t on, and the garage had motion-sensor lights that turned off after no movement was detected for a while, following Pu Feifei’s departure.
In the darkness, Shang Shiqian couldn’t even see Wei Yixian’s face clearly.
Kissed into dizziness, she thought hazily: I was careless earlier, Wei Yixian did drink after all.
And although they were still in the honeymoon phase, hadn’t Wei Yixian been a bit too clingy lately?
Soon, she had no capacity for further thought.
The passionate kiss quickly raised the temperature inside the car.
The dim environment was like a cage with its door ajar, allowing the desire imprisoned by morality and shame to break free and bare its fangs.
Fortunately, neither of them let lust override their reason.
After the desire stirred by the kiss gradually subsided, Shang Shiqian reached up and turned on the overhead reading light.
She said, “Peach-flavored fruit wine.”
Wei Yixian smiled, her eyes crinkling. “So sure?”
Shang Shiqian nodded very seriously. “I’m certain.”
“Does fruit wine even count as alcohol? It’s just a beverage at most.”
Shang Shiqian didn’t argue with her. “Let’s go inside. If we stay any longer, who knows what others might imagine.”
Wei Yixian suddenly asked her, “Last time you asked me if I’d hate you if you were from the Shang family. Now it’s my turn to ask you, if the Shang family acknowledges you, will you leave?”
–
Shang Family Manor.
Ever since Shang Shixing returned, Shang Xiaowu had been eyeing her handbag.
After dinner, Shang Yufeng and Lin Shizhang went for a walk, and the two younger children were taken by the nanny for their baths.
When they were alone in private, Shang Xiaowu asked nervously, “Big sister, did the paternity test results come out?”
Shang Shixing said, “You could make it more obvious, and let Grandma know about this matter while you’re at it.”
Shang Xiaowu could tell she was being sarcastic.
Thinking that their grandmother’s heart might not be able to handle such big news, she proactively asked, “Then, big sister, have you looked at it? Is she is she our Shang Qiguan?”
Shang Shixing shook her head.
Shang Xiaowu’s heart sank halfway: “How?”
How could this be?
Could it really be that her perception was wrong?
Shang Shixing said, “I haven’t looked at it yet.”
Shang Xiaowu’s shattered heart was slowly pieced back together: “Why haven’t you looked!?”
Shang Shixing: …
Shang Xiaowu stared at her serious-faced big sister: “Big sister, could it be that you’re nervous too? Nervous that your speculation might be wrong, worried that you’ll be terribly disappointed?”
Shang Shixing admitted: “Yes, I got the report at noon, but I didn’t dare to open it. Our speculation is so unbelievable – if something like this could really happen, then what have we been studying science for all these years? What is the truth of the world?”
Shang Xiaowu said solemnly: “I understand. You’re about to collapse and shout ‘Physics doesn’t exist anymore,’ then abandon your family and commit.”
Before she could finish, Shang Shixing gave her a light slap on the back of the head.
Shang Xiaowu muttered: “So what if biology doesn’t exist? After all, the end of science is theology.”
With Shang Xiaowu’s interruption, most of Shang Shixing’s worries and tension disappeared.
She walked into the room and took out a paternity test report from her handbag.
Shang Xiaowu followed closely behind, stretching her neck to see the report, her body almost pressed against Shang Shixing, her palms sweating from nervousness.
The first page of the report contained information about the collected samples and analysis, while the results were on the second page.
Though it was just a simple action, Shang Shixing found it exceptionally difficult.
Looking closely, her hand trembled slightly as she turned the page.
Shang Xiaowu snatched it away and flipped to the second page.
Then she let out a “Waaah” sound and burst into tears.
Shang Yufeng returned from her walk and saw Shang Xiaowu coming out of Shang Shixing’s room with red eyes, as if she had been crying.
To make matters worse, when Shang Xiaowu saw her, she ran away like a thief with a guilty conscience.
Rarely using her authoritative voice, Shang Yufeng called out: “Stop!”
Unable to escape, Shang Xiaowu walked back with her head drooping.
“What’s wrong?” Shang Yufeng lifted her granddaughter’s chin, examining her expression.
Shang Xiaowu pursed her lips and remained silent.
“Did you do something wrong and get scolded by Xiaoxing?” Shang Yufeng guessed.
“…” Shang Xiaowu wanted to pretend, but she simply couldn’t keep up the act anymore.
Hugging Shang Yufeng, she cried again: “Grandma!”
Hearing the commotion, Shang Shixing came out and patted her own head in frustration.
They had kept it so well hidden before, not revealing even a hint despite her repeated probing – how could she not hold it in now?
Shang Yufeng looked at her eldest granddaughter and noticed that she had been crying too.
However, Shang Shixing was in her thirties and usually very emotionally stable, now wearing a stern expression that revealed nothing.
“Grandma, don’t mind Xiaowu. Let her cry – she’ll feel better after crying it out.” Shang Shixing pretended to be angry: “She actually dared to give away Xiaoqian’s Go stones! How audacious!”
Shang Yufeng’s brows relaxed.
So it was about this matter – indeed, Xiaowu shouldn’t be indulged.
“Since Shixing has already lectured you, I won’t say anything more.”
Shang Xiaowu didn’t even register their words. After crying, she slipped back into her room.
Not long after, Shang Lingchu, who had been doing homework, came out and asked: “Auntie isn’t painting anymore? Has she switched careers to become a singer now?”
Shang Shixing went over and heard Shang Xiaowu singing while alternating between crying and laughing outside the door.
Although both painting and singing belong to the arts, Shang Xiaowu’s talent points were clearly all allocated to painting – her voice received zero bonuses.
Under normal circumstances, Shang Shixing would have stopped her immediately.
But this time, after a moment of silence, she said: “Don’t mind her. She’ll quiet down when she gets tired.”
–
Wei Yixian asked a question that Shang Shiqian sometimes feared and avoided.
Setting aside the Shang family, what Wei Yixian truly cared about was: “Will you leave me?”
The answer was undoubtedly yes.
Not because of lack of love, but because time wouldn’t permit it.
However, Shang Shiqian didn’t dwell on this issue, saying: “I won’t leave you just because the Shang family has acknowledged me.”
Wei Yixian gazed at her without speaking.
Shang Shiqian suddenly understood: “Are you worried that after I become a phoenix from a pheasant, I’ll fly away?”
Wei Yixian: …
The Shang family was indeed a “phoenix,” but Shang Shiqian had never been a pheasant.
She smiled, opened the car door and got out.
Early the next morning.
After waking up, Shang Shiqian discovered that Wei Yixian had picked up his racket again after a long time, sweating on the court once more.
After washing up, she walked over and said: “Coach, I want to play tennis.”
Wei Yixian, who didn’t catch her reference, said: “Weren’t you the one who’d rather play chess than be a practice partner?”
Back when he paid to teach her tennis under the guise of being a practice partner, she hadn’t been willing.
Shang Shiqian didn’t expect the boomerang to come back and hit her. She smiled awkwardly and said: “The traditional Chinese medicine doctor said I need more exercise.”
“My coaching fees are very expensive.”
“5,000 yuan per hour?”
Wei Yixian refused to give her a specific amount, only having someone hand her a tennis racket.
During the dog days of summer, the morning temperature had already climbed to 32°C.
Just standing still could make you break out in sweat.
After just a bit of movement, Shang Shiqian was already sweating profusely.
Knowing she was a beginner, Wei Yixian did his best to hit the balls right to her, minimizing how much she had to run.
However, after just half an hour, Wei Yixian had someone put away the rackets.
“Not playing anymore?” Shang Shiqian asked.
Her hair was completely wet, sticking clammily to her neck. Sweat had soaked through her clothes, darkening them several shades.
Wei Yixian draped a towel over her head and dried her hair for her.
“No more. This is your first day holding a racket – you can’t play too long, or you won’t be able to lift your arm tomorrow.”
Shang Shiqian muttered quietly: “Don’t underestimate us chess players’ arm strength.”
Wei Yixian looked at her with an amused expression: “Aren’t chess players training finger coordination through long-term play?”
When beginners learn chess etiquette, they need to repeat the stone-holding motion repeatedly hand numbness or cramps are common occurrences.
However, this was more true in the pre-AI era. The new generation of chess players play more online games and aren’t as particular about stone-holding gestures as before.
Shang Shiqian couldn’t refute this, only saying: “Remember to wake me when you get up tomorrow morning.”
“No practice tomorrow morning. The weather’s too hot – you could get heatstroke.”
Shang Shiqian: .
Wanted to persist consistently, but didn’t have the opportunity.
After replenishing their electrolytes and drying off their sweat, the two went to take showers separately.
Around nine o’clock, Shang Shiqian opened the Observe Game app and began her daily life-and-death problem training.
Shang Xiaowu came to find her, bringing along her set of go stones.
However, perhaps knowing her rules when practicing life-and-death problems, Shang Xiaowu didn’t make any noise to disturb her.
On the other side.
Not long after Wei Yixian arrived at the company, Yin Lian relayed a meeting request: “President Wei, the chairman of Phoenix Education Foundation, Shang Shixing, would like to schedule a meeting with you. He’s inquiring about your availability.”
She watched Wei Yixian nervously, thinking that given President Wei’s relationship with the Shang family, he probably wouldn’t agree to meet with Shang Shixing.
However, after a moment of silence, Wei Yixian said: “Noon.”
Shang #4: My finger coordination is indeed well-trained.
President Wei: …
Unable to refute.
The Shang family is coming to snatch the child (not really)
