Chapter 72 The Beautiful Young Wife Lin Yuchang
Ten minutes later, Shen Yuan arrived at MS Café, where a sensual figure was standing at the entrance.
Lin Yuchang was indeed a beautiful young widow. Her smile had a special kind of allure, and under her sleeveless blouse, her breasts were full and round. Today, she wrapped her legs with black stockings, which were of the type that were evenly proportioned and fleshy.
"Sorry to trouble you with this, Shen Yuan," she said apologetically with a smile, "I left some of my child's toys at the café last time and forgot to take them."
"It's okay, no trouble at all."
Shen Yuan took out the keys, pushed open the door of the café, and also switched on a lamp.
Lin Yuchang, after setting her bag down, walked over to the counter and bent over as she searched for something.
Her slender waist and ample buttocks together formed an enchanting curve, unique to young widows, and Shen Yuan couldn't help but sneak a few glances with his peripheral vision.
Lin Yuchang put the toys into a bag, which were all small plastic toys like cars and excavators,
"How old is your child?"
Shen Yuan casually asked while doing nothing.
Lin Yuchang looked up and smiled, "3 and a half years old, quite mischievous."
Lin Yuchang filled a plastic bag with toys, and then pulled out a couple of bottles of wine from beneath the counter into another plastic bag.
Shen Yuan's eyelids twitched—could it be that Lin Yuchang often drank alone in the café?
After packing up, Lin Yuchang carried the bags to the door, then couldn't help but look back a few times at the café with a complex expression on her face.
Shen Yuan asked with a smile, "What's the matter, can't bear to leave it?"
"It's not really about not being able to let go."
Lin Yuchang's eyes flashed with a tinge of melancholy, "It's just that I remember the days and nights it has been with me."
"You can always come back to see it."
Shen Yuan thought to himself that women were creatures easily moved by their surroundings, but then again, it was probably largely related to her emotional life.
Most likely to do with Zeng Xianyong.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be drinking alone in the café out of melancholy.
"I probably won't be back."
Lin Yuchang gave a light shake of her head.
By 9:30 in the evening, most of the students had already gone back to their dorms, and the streets, in contrast to the daytime bustle, now seemed quiet and cold, occasionally swept by a breeze bringing a different kind of loneliness.
"How about I keep you company for a couple of drinks?"
Shen Yuan pointed at the red wine in her bag.
Lin Yuchang smoothed her wind-blown hair and smiled seductively, "Would that be appropriate?"
"What's inappropriate about it?"
Only one chandelier was turned on in the café, and Shen Yuan casually picked a table to sit down at, while Lin Yuchang got two wine glasses from the bar and sat down, smoothing her skirt.
The warm yellow light shone on the two of them, creating a somewhat romantic atmosphere.
"Feeling upset?"
Shen Yuan opened a bottle of wine slowly and poured it for Lin Yuchang.
"Yeah."
Lin Yuchang sipped the wine, her red lips parting gently.
"Let me guess, is it related to family?"
Lin Yuchang was slightly startled, looking at Shen Yuan in surprise, "Hmm? How do you know?"
Shen Yuan smiled, "I actually know your husband, Zeng Xianyong. He's the general manager of the Jaguar Land Rover 4S store, right?"
Lin Yuchang's mouth opened in mild shock, "How...how do you know him?"
"Actually, I've heard about some of the things he's done. Chen Na was an employee at the Land Rover dealership, and she quit because of Zeng Xianyong."
A light bulb went off in Lin Yuchang's head, but thinking of Miss Chen Na, her heart suddenly tightened, "Does Miss Chen Na also..."
Shen Yuan shook his head with a smile, "No, she left because Zeng Xianyong harassed her frequently."
Lin Yuchang let out a sigh of relief, "That's good then. If that were the case, it would be another addition to his offenses."
Under the influence of the alcohol, Lin Yuchang's pale cheeks began to blush. She sipped her wine slowly and started to speak,
"Actually, I've been preparing to divorce Zeng Xianyong recently. I've collected quite a bit of evidence of his infidelity, and I have seen some chat logs where he coerced and enticed subordinates."
"Married for five years, I never thought he was that kind of man."
Lin Yuchang's expression carried an indescribable stir of emotions, "But when I think about the fact that he's the father of my child, I hesitate, wondering if this will affect the child. After all, children raised in single-parent families inevitably suffer psychologically."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Thinking of those indecent chat records, Lin Yuchang felt sick to her stomach; he had actually done such conscienceless things.
And she wondered why on earth she had ever decided to be with him.
It was these things that made him completely give up on Zeng Xianyong.
Although divorce is common in modern society, she still worried that her child would be affected, so she hesitated and struggled with her decision.
Whenever she thought about these distressing issues, she went to MS by herself, drinking wine, trying to numb herself with alcohol.
But each time after drinking, she did not feel much better; besides having a stomach full of alcohol, her mood was usually even more oppressive than before she started drinking.
"Make a clean break, I think you will make the right decision," he said.
Shen Yuan kept pouring Lin Yuchang wine, then continued, "The child is certainly important, but think about it carefully. Facing the child in this state for a long time, won't the child be affected?"
Lin Yuchang was momentarily stunned and looked at Shen Yuan, "That... is also true..."
Shen Yuan said as a matter of fact, "Although children are young, they can sense their parents' emotions. So growing up in this kind of atmosphere for a long time, the damage they receive is actually greater."
"Hmm..."
"So, whether for yourself or for the child, you have to make the right decision."
Lin Yuchang raised her glass, took a big sip, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes, and her look towards Shen Yuan also underwent some subtle changes.
From the beginning to the end, she had always seen Shen Yuan as a young man who was generous with his money, but tonight it seemed he was more mature than she had imagined.
Maybe it was the catalytic effect of the alcohol, but beneath the chandelier light shining on her, she always felt Shen Yuan had a unique charm.
His features were sharp, and he had a mischievous and rascally smile, but it was not annoying at all.
This was something she never saw in Zeng Xianyong.
Before, she thought one should not judge a man by his appearance, but now it seemed that being with a good-looking man could indeed lift one's spirits.
Thinking this, Lin Yuchang sincerely said, "Thank you, Shen Yuan."
"No need to be so polite."
Shen Yuan smiled, candidly meeting Lin Yuchang's gaze. Looking at her face, which was naturally charming and now, due to the alcohol, flushed with red cheeks and a bewildering gaze, indeed added a few strokes of allure.
Unlike the purely desirous class belle, and not quite the same as the gentle Chen Na, Lin Yuchang's eyes and brows had a different kind of charm.
Facing Shen Yuan's returned gaze, Lin Yuchang shyly avoided eye contact. Noticing that the bottle of wine was nearly empty, she suggested, "Let's go."
"Sure, good idea."
Shen Yuan nodded and stood up.
Truthfully, Shen Yuan did indeed harbor thoughts of being a "wife-stealer." On one hand, it was to teach Zeng Xianyong a lesson, and on the other hand, it was to give Nana some vindication.
There was also the motive of exploring an NPC.
But such matters depended on mutual consent, and coercion was not an option.
The two tidied up the table, washed the wine glasses clean and put them back on the bar, then walked out of the cafe shoulder to shoulder.
While walking, Lin Yuchang suddenly exclaimed "Ah," as if her high heels had slipped, losing her balance and stumbling forward.
Seeing this, Shen Yuan hurriedly supported her waist. In the next second, he felt the softness in his hands and the pressure against his chest, followed by her unique perfume scent.
Lin Yuchang, still shaken, clutched Shen Yuan instinctively as her heart thumped wildly.
Not until Shen Yuan gently patted her on the shoulder did Lin Yuchang come back to her senses and hastily moved out of his embrace.
She didn't dare to look up, timidly smoothing out her blouse and skirt. Fortunately, the flush on her cheeks could be passed off as the effect of the alcohol rather than the recent incident.
"I'm sorry~"
Lin Yuchang kept her head down.
"It's fine."
That night, Lin Yuchang had also stirred up a touch of wicked fire in Shen Yuan. He waved his hand nonchalantly, then turned off the light and took out the keys, ready to lock the door.
However, just at that moment, Lin Yuchang suddenly tiptoed, wrapped her arms around his neck, and planted a fleeting kiss on his face before immediately grabbing her purse and the plastic bag and leaving MS.
Shen Yuan watched her voluptuous figure walk away, subconsciously touching his face, thinking to himself, what's the point of just a kiss?
At the very least, they should have had a real, vigorous encounter!
Lin Yuchang stepped out of MS, feeling her heart in her throat.
She didn't know why but her guts had suddenly grown bolder.
It must be the alcohol!
Thinking back, she felt some regret. Next time, she was determined not to drink so much wine!
For so many years, she had always adhered to proper conduct, never doing anything inappropriate.
As a wife, she maintained a certain distance from other men, never daring to overstep.
The only somewhat out-of-line behavior might be taking care of her own needs.
And this was all because Zeng Xianyong was a useless wimp.
But what was this exhilarating feeling all about?
