Marriage in crisis

There are also many guests in the corridor outside, chatting happily in twos and threes.

This is a circular corridor on the top floor. I looked in the direction. Opposite are some small multi-functional halls. The corridor in the middle extends inwards. There are bathrooms inside, as well as some small lounges, changing rooms, power distribution rooms, and more. There is a utility room.

I glanced towards the corridor, where only a few guests came out occasionally to go to the bathroom. I didn't see Deng Jiafeng and Zhao Minglan, let alone Chi Xi who was following them.

This made me a little confused. I thought about it and walked towards the bathroom.

I haven't worn high heels for a long time, so walking is really tiring. Because I step on the carpet, although it is silent, it is like walking in the desert.

The further you go in, the fewer people are inside, the noise coming from the hall becomes smaller and smaller, and it is quiet inside.

The hall outside the restroom is circular and open. There is a rather large mirror that divides the restroom into two, with the men's restroom on the left and the women's restroom on the right.

I walked to the sink and looked in the mirror. My makeup had not changed at all. I had put on makeup to cover up my illness. It was not too much to praise me for looking radiant.

And I’m particularly pleased that the skirt I picked today really lives up to Don Tony’s words, being low-key yet luxurious. It makes my skin look bright, my lips are red and my teeth are white.

But my mind wasn't on my makeup at all. I turned on the water and washed my hands, tilting my head and ears to listen to the goings on on both sides.

Just then a man walked in, saw me, and greeted me flatteringly, "Mrs. Deng!"

I nodded slightly, and he walked into the men's room with an awkward smile.

I am sure that all the guests present today probably don’t know me, so it’s not surprising that he greeted me.

I turned around and walked into the women's bathroom. It was quiet and there was no one at all. I didn't rush out. I waited for a few minutes to make sure that the man had left, and then I stepped out.

I couldn't help but wonder, it was strange that they had left here.

I had no choice but to go out. The moment I stood at the door, I looked inside again. In fact, I was quite familiar with this place. The corridor turned a corner in front, and I knew that if I went inside, I would find the lounge.

I was a little reluctant, so I took a few steps inside and seemed to hear voices inside. I looked back in the direction I came from and could no longer see the bathroom.

I hesitated whether to continue walking in, but I did vaguely hear the sound of someone talking, but the sound was not loud and appeared and disappeared.

I stopped and leaned against the wall to relieve my fatigue and tension. Then I held my breath and listened. There seemed to be no sound again, as if only my own heartbeat was left.

I smiled to myself. Where there was any voice, it must be the echo coming from outside.

Just when I straightened up and wanted to walk back, I suddenly heard a low roar, which made me shiver. The voice seemed quite depressed and dull, but I didn't hear clearly what it said.

Suddenly I felt a chill on my back and a dense layer of goosebumps. It seemed that there was still someone there.

But I'm not sure which room.

I stiffened and my heart started beating fast again.

After calming down my emotions, I thought, I'm here now, I have to see who it is, right? Since this low roar was made just now, it means that the people inside will not be happy.

Driven by curiosity, I bravely took a few steps forward. Sure enough, an intermittent voice came from inside, "You have already missed an opportunity! Don't tell me... I will give you another chance."

"I want to see..."

It was two men who were talking, intermittently, and I couldn't even hear what they were saying.

I'm a little confused? Who is inside?

It seems that it is definitely not Zhao Minglan.

"Deng Jiafeng, don't..."

Deng Jiafeng?

Sure enough, it was Deng Jiafeng.

As if I had been injected with chicken blood, I raised my legs and walked a few steps inward. After confirming that the sound was coming from one of the rooms, I boldly moved closer.

"...You have to use this opportunity to build momentum. You are a pig brain...people are dead..." This voice is very strange. I guess it is Chinese spoken by a foreigner. The pronunciation is very stiff.

I held my breath and leaned as close as possible. The door was not closed tightly, and there was still a gap. I boldly wanted to see who the other man was inside.

Just when I stretched out my hand to push the door open a little, there was a sudden thunder explosion, which scared me so much that I almost screamed, and my feet hit a trash can next to the door with a 'boom'.

A voice immediately asked from inside, "Who?"

I was so frightened that I quickly backed away, but footsteps could be heard from inside, obviously coming to open the door.
