The president's wife wants to run away

Chapter 137 Stable State

The sun was like golden honey, sweetly smeared on my body. I pushed the stroller, Nianxue's little hands waved, and her giggles were as clear and melodious as wind chimes. Zhong Yuxuan walked beside me, reaching out to tease Nianxue from time to time, with a gentle smile on his face.

This peaceful and tranquil scene used to only appear in my dreams, but now it is actually happening in my life. But the happier I am, the more uneasy I feel, like a vine, winding around my heart bit by bit, making it hard for me to breathe.

"What's wrong? You don't look well." Zhong Yuxuan stopped, reached out and stroked my cheek, his tone full of worry.

I forced a smile and said, "It's okay. Maybe I didn't sleep well last night."

He didn't ask any more questions, but just held me in his arms, patted my back gently, and said, "It's okay, I'll take care of everything."

His embrace was as warm and reassuring as ever. I tried hard to suppress the uneasiness in my heart and told myself that I was overthinking.

Our family of three stayed in the park for the whole afternoon and didn't go home until the sun set.

When we got home, Zhong Shuhao was sitting in the living room drinking tea. Seeing us come back, he smiled with relief, "You're back? How was your day?"

"It's good. Nianxue is having a lot of fun." I replied with a smile.

Zhong Shuhao nodded, his eyes fell on Zhong Yuxuan, "Yuxuan, come with me to the study, I have something to tell you."

Zhong Yuxuan glanced at me, then followed Zhong Shuhao upstairs.

I looked at their backs, and the uneasiness in my heart surged up again. What on earth were they going to talk about? Why did I feel like Zhong Shuhao was hiding something from me?

All kinds of speculations were circling in my mind, but I couldn't find the answer, so I could only wait anxiously. Qin Xue and her doctor boyfriend made an appointment to go shopping together this afternoon, saying that they were going to pick out a gift for Nian Xue. Since the last time we met in the hospital, our relationship has become much closer. Occasionally, we would make appointments to go shopping and eat together, and get along like ordinary friends.

Looking at their sweet backs, I couldn't help but smile. It's great that everyone has their own happiness.

After seeing them off, I started preparing dinner. Since I married Zhong Yuxuan, I have never done anything at home, and servants have been taking care of everything at home. But recently, I have become obsessed with cooking and want to make a delicious dinner for my family.

I found some recipes online and started to get busy in the kitchen. I cut vegetables, washed vegetables, and cooked vegetables. I did every step carefully, fearing that I would mess it up. Although the process was a bit hectic, I enjoyed it, as if I was completing a sacred ritual.

Time passed by, and the kitchen was filled with tempting aromas. I looked at the dishes boiling in the pot, and a satisfied smile appeared on my face. This was my first time cooking, so I didn't know how it would taste, but I believed that my love would definitely be passed on to my family.

"Dong dong dong..."

There was a sudden knock on the door. I walked to the door in confusion and opened it, only to see Zhong Shuhao standing outside. His face was a little pale and there was a hint of panic in his eyes.

"Dad, what's wrong with you?" My heart tightened and a bad premonition came to my mind.

Zhong Shuhao took a deep breath, but did not answer my question. Instead, he looked at me with a complicated look and said in a heavy tone: "Luo Xue, there are some things...I didn't want to tell you, but..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the sound of hurried footsteps.

"Dad! Luo Xue!"

Zhong Yuxuan's voice came from the stairs. He looked anxious, holding a document in his hand, and his forehead was covered with sweat.

"What happened?" I asked anxiously, a sense of foreboding growing stronger and stronger.

Zhong Shuhao hesitated to speak, frowning, as if struggling with something. My anxiety became stronger and stronger. Could it be that something big happened in the company? Before I could ask, Zhong Yuxuan had already walked up to us with big strides, grabbed my hand, and said anxiously: "Luo Xue, something happened in the company, I need to rush back to deal with it immediately."

I looked at the beads of sweat on his forehead and the fatigue in his eyes, and I felt mixed emotions. The company has been expanding overseas markets during this period, and he works until late at night almost every day, and rarely rests even on weekends. Although I feel sorry for him, I also know that he has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, so I can only support him silently.

"Is it serious?" I asked softly, trying to sound calm.

"It's okay, just some minor problems, I can solve them quickly." Zhong Yuxuan gave me a reassuring look, then turned to look at Zhong Shuhao, "Dad, don't worry, tell me slowly, what happened?"

Zhong Shuhao took a deep breath, and seemed to have finally made up his mind. He slowly said, "Yuxuan, I went to the hospital for a follow-up check today, and the doctor said..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the ringing of Zhong Yuxuan's cell phone. Zhong Yuxuan glanced at the caller ID and his face suddenly became solemn. He looked at us apologetically and walked aside to answer the call.

I stood there uneasily, listening to Zhong Yuxuan talking in a low voice to the person on the other end of the phone. Although I couldn't hear the specific content, I could feel that things seemed to be more difficult than I had imagined.

After hanging up the phone, Zhong Yuxuan's face was livid, his eyes full of anxiety and worry. He walked quickly to me and said hurriedly: "Luo Xue, there is an emergency in the company, I have to rush back to deal with it immediately, dinner..."

"Go ahead, don't worry about me." I interrupted him and gently pushed him, "Work is important, I'm at home."

Zhong Yuxuan looked at me deeply, his eyes full of apology and gratitude. He leaned over and kissed me lightly on the forehead, then turned around, picked up his coat, and left in a hurry.

As I watched Zhong Yuxuan leave, my mood also became heavy. Zhong Shuhao's hesitant expression and Zhong Yuxuan's solemn face after answering the phone all indicated that something was about to happen.

"Luo Xue, don't worry, Yu Xuan will take care of it." Zhong Shuhao patted my shoulder and comforted me, "Let's eat first, the food is getting cold."

I forced a smile and nodded. Looking at the table full of delicious dishes, I had no appetite at all. I ate a few bites hastily, then hid in the kitchen under the pretext of cleaning up the dishes.

The steaming water blurred my vision. I mechanically washed the dishes, but the scenes just now kept replaying in my mind. What happened? Why did Zhong Shuhao and Zhong Yuxuan have such solemn expressions?

I forced myself not to think too much and tried to calm myself down. I believed in Zhong Yuxuan, he would be able to handle everything.

In the evening, Zhong Yuxuan dragged his tired body back home. When he saw me sitting on the sofa in the living room waiting for him, a hint of surprise and emotion flashed in his eyes.

"Why aren't you asleep yet?" He came over and gently held me in his arms.

"Waiting for you." I raised my head, looked at his tired face, and said distressedly, "Are you exhausted?"

"It's okay. I'm not tired anymore when I see you." Zhong Yuxuan lowered his head and kissed my forehead with a gentle tone.

I snuggled in his arms, feeling his warmth and breath, and my heart gradually calmed down.

"What happened at the company today..." I hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but ask.

"It's all solved." Zhong Yuxuan smiled faintly, as if he didn't want to talk more, "Don't worry, everything will be fine."

I nodded and didn't ask any more questions. I believed him, just as he believed me.

We just snuggled together quietly, enjoying this rare peaceful time.

However, I didn't know that a bigger storm was about to come...

After taking a shower, I put on my soft nightgown, my hair still wet with water vapor, and got into the warm bed. Zhong Yuxuan had already changed into his pajamas and was leaning against the head of the bed looking through documents. The warm yellow bedside lamp cast a shadow on his face, making his brows look even more tired.

"Are you still busy?" I asked softly, reaching out to massage his tense shoulders.

"Well, there are still some documents to be processed." Zhong Yuxuan put down the documents, held my hand, and gently kissed it on his lips, "Why don't you blow dry your hair for a while, be careful not to catch a cold."

His palms were warm and dry, with a faint smell of tobacco, but it made me feel extremely at ease. I shook my head and snuggled into his arms, feeling this rare tranquility and warmth.

"The little guy was so well-behaved today. He fell asleep after eating and smiled when he woke up. Auntie said she hasn't seen such a well-behaved baby in a long time." I smiled and shared with Zhong Yuxuan the interesting things that happened with the baby today. My tone was full of the joy and tenderness of being a new mother.

"Like you." Zhong Yuxuan smiled dotingly, and reached out to stroke my hair. "You were like this when you were a child, too. You were very well behaved, never cried or made a fuss, unlike Qin Xue, who followed me around all day like a tomboy."

"That's because you spoil her too much!" I hit him lightly in a pretended angry manner, but I felt sweet in my heart.

We chatted casually and shared each other's daily life. The room was filled with a warm and sweet atmosphere. The baby was sleeping soundly in the cradle, with a rosy little face and a sweet smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he had dreamed of something beautiful.

Looking at this warm scene, I feel extremely happy and satisfied. I never thought that I could have such a simple and beautiful life. After so many ups and downs, Zhong Yuxuan and I finally got together, formed our own little family, and had a lovely baby. All this seemed unreal like a dream.

"What are you thinking about?" Zhong Yuxuan's voice pulled me back from my thoughts.

"Nothing, I just feel very happy now." I raised my head and looked at him sincerely, "Thank you, Yuxuan, thank you for giving me all this."

"Silly boy, we are a family, why should we say thank you?" Zhong Yuxuan held me in his arms, lowered his head and kissed my forehead, "From now on, we will always be happy like this."

I closed my eyes, quietly feeling his warmth and love, and prayed silently in my heart, hoping that time would stop at this moment, and that our family of three could live happily like this forever...

However, on this quiet night, an anonymous letter was delivered to the Zhong family's mailbox, breaking the peace...

The morning sun shines through the pale yellow curtains, and the room is warm. I open my eyes, and Zhong Yuxuan is no longer by my side. There is only a cup of warm milk and a note saying "Good morning, wife" on the bedside table. His handwriting is as strong and powerful as his personality, but it also reveals a special tenderness.

I took a sip of the milk, and a warm current spread from my stomach to my whole body. Such a day, peaceful and warm, is what I have always dreamed of. After washing up, I pushed open the door of the baby's room. The little guy was waving his hands and babbling something, as if to say hello to me.

"Good morning, Xiaobao!" I picked him up and kissed his chubby little face.

The little guy giggled, and his clear laughter was like a string of silver bells, dispelling the morning chill.

After breakfast, Qin Xue also came with Zhong Shuhao. Ever since I gave birth to my baby, Qin Xue often brought Shuhao over to play, saying that she wanted the two children to develop feelings from an early age so that they could play together in the future.

"Xiaoxue, you're here." I greeted her with a smile.

"Look at my godson, I miss him so much!" Qin Xue took the baby from my hands and started teasing him.

Shuhao followed behind Qin Xue, holding a toy car in his hand, but his eyes were fixed on the baby in my arms, full of curiosity.

"Shuhao, why don't you come over and play with your brother?" Zhong Yuxuan walked out of the study, picked up Shuhao and lifted him high.

"Brother..." Shuhao called in a baby voice and reached out to grab the baby's face.

I quickly stopped him, "Shuhao, be good. Your brother is still young, don't just grab his face."

Shuhao seemed to understand what I said and obediently withdrew his hand.

Looking at the innocent smiles of the two children, Zhong Yuxuan and I smiled at each other, our eyes full of happiness and satisfaction.

However, just as we were enjoying this rare quiet time, the housekeeper Uncle Wang suddenly walked in with a letter in his hand and a serious look on his face.

"Sir, this letter... was just delivered to your door." Uncle Wang handed the letter to Zhong Yuxuan with a hesitant tone.

I noticed that the letter was unsigned. There was only an address written in black ink on the envelope. The handwriting was sloppy and exuded an indescribable weirdness.

"What's wrong?" I felt something was wrong and couldn't help but ask.

Zhong Yuxuan didn't say anything, but frowned slightly and reached out to take the letter.

"It's okay, maybe some advertising leaflets." He said lightly, but his tone was a little absent-minded.

I felt vaguely uneasy, but I couldn't tell why.

Zhong Yuxuan opened the envelope and pulled out a folded piece of letter paper. The moment he unfolded the letter paper, I saw his face turn pale and a sharp cold light flashed in his eyes...
