Chapter 166: The Woman Who Was Kicked Out of Her Home
Waking up in the morning, as usual, Nie Xiaoqian had already gone to work, and breakfast was ready on the dining table.
Under a plate on the table lay a note, with neat handwriting from Nie Xiaoqian:
—— Another new day has begun, brother. This year's autumn has arrived early; the weather is getting cooler, so remember to dress warmly when you go out. Wishing you happiness!
Looking at the words on the note, Xiao Yun felt a warm surge in his heart. This girl always thought of others!
Xiao Yun casually scanned his Storage Ring with his Spiritual Sense and suddenly felt like he couldn't breathe.
He saw that the Bird Woman, Xiao Ling, was in the newly built swimming pool with those two Freak women, enjoying a bath. The three of them, all bare-skinned, swam around like three white fish in the pool. He couldn't help but wish he could strip off his clothes and dive into the ring…
Damn, what a cruel temptation so early in the morning!
Just after finishing breakfast, Xiao Yun's phone rang.
It was Tang Yan calling: "Hey, where are you? I'm coming to pick you up!"
Xiao Yun gave her the address, cleaned up the dishes, ran to his room to pick out a decent outfit, and then headed upstairs to Nie Xiaoqian's bedroom. He looked in the mirror and tidied his hair. Hmm, he thought he looked a bit like a new son-in-law meeting his mother-in-law.
Ssssss…
He found Nie Xiaoqian's hair care spray and sprayed it on his head without caring if it suited him or not.
Turning around, he started walking, one two three...
Arriving at the entrance of the community, Tang Yan's car just pulled up.
The car door opened, and Tang Yan walked around the front of the car, opening the passenger door with a charming smile and said, "Please get in!"
Xiao Yun did not get in. He stood frozen as if under a spell, staring blankly at Tang Yan.
She wore a white short-sleeved shirt with a large collar, adorned with floral stripes on the placket and sleeves. Her lower half was clad in light blue denim shorts, and on her feet were pink sandals. With a slender waist, her figure was striking from any angle, showcasing her curves beautifully. Her long hair flowed over her shoulders, and her long, snow-white legs stood gracefully. Her enchanting eyes sparkled lightly, and her lips curved into a captivating smile...
Especially notable was the deep valley of snow-white skin between her chest that seemed unfathomable, causing Xiao Yun's eyes to widen in disbelief.
"There's no Heavenly Principle..." Xiao Yun muttered to himself, his expression filled with infinite longing.
"What do you mean there's no Heavenly Principle?" When Tang Yan noticed where his gaze was fixed, her face flushed with embarrassment as she shyly exclaimed, "Hmph, what are you staring at? Get in the car!"
Only then did Xiao Yun snap back to reality and hurriedly comply, turning to get in.
Before getting in, he realized it was a White Volkswagen Polo and couldn't help but ask, "Where did this car come from?"
Tang Yan smiled sweetly and replied, "This was a gift from my mother when I got married."
It was quite strange; a government official's wife had her own car but usually drove a rental to pick up passengers. That was indeed rare.
However, considering that a daughter was going to the Provincial Capital to celebrate her mother's birthday, it would indeed be somewhat inappropriate for someone of her status to arrive in a taxi.
After settling into the car, Xiao Yun suddenly said, "I’m very lucky to be your husband!"
Whoosh—
This statement nearly caused Tang Yan's car to skid out of control.
"Hey, can you not say such things in the car?" Tang Yan was about to scold him but suddenly remembered that he needed Xiao Yun's help. The words that were on the tip of his tongue were swallowed back down.
After all, he had done him a favor; if it weren't for Xiao Yun stepping in last time, that annoying back pain would probably have haunted him for life.
Moreover, he had asked him over the phone to pretend to be his husband this time in Provincial Capital.
"Xiao Yun, I really want to thank you. I’m going to trouble you again today!" Tang Yan expressed his gratitude sincerely.
Xiao Yun smiled and said, "No need to be polite. Being the husband of a beautiful woman is my duty!"
What kind of talk is that? Tang Yan shot him a glance but secretly liked this guy. He couldn't help but smile slightly—after all, being called beautiful was quite flattering.
However, thinking about his current situation made him sigh inwardly.
"Sister Yan, is there something bothering you?" Xiao Yun's greatest strength was his ability to read the room and discern emotions, especially when it came to beautiful women; he was particularly sensitive to their psychological changes.
Tang Yan opened her mouth but didn’t say anything.
Seeing her hesitance, Xiao Yun chuckled and said, "How about this, Sister Yan? Safety first. Why don’t you move to the passenger seat? You can tell me anything without being distracted."
"Can you drive?" Tang Yan glanced at Xiao Yun in surprise.
Since the last time Xiao Yun helped her with her back pain in the taxi, she had secretly inquired about him and had a general understanding of his background, knowing that he couldn't drive.
Xiao Yun honestly replied, "No!"
He can't drive but still wants to take the wheel? Tang Yan felt dizzy, almost spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"You can let me try and see who drives better!" Xiao Yun said.
Not being able to drive yet wanting to compare skills made Tang Yan doubt if he was a bit clueless.
Tang Yan laughed, "You just said safety first, so you should just sit there obediently!"
"No way, Sister Yan, you have to let me try! As we say in our hometown, you won't know until you get your feet wet!"
Xiao Yun was being stubborn.
"Alright, but you have to be careful!" Tang Yan had no choice but to give in to his persistence and drove the car to a safe area for him to give it a shot.
Little did she know that once he got into the driver's seat, he confidently started the engine, pressed the clutch, released the handbrake, and shifted gears with a series of surprisingly smooth movements. With a press of the accelerator, the car took off with a sharp turn, drawing a perfect semicircle.
His driving skills were definitely impressive.
"Have you learned how to drive?" Tang Yan watched his skilled maneuvers, her beautiful eyes widening in astonishment.
Xiao Yun quickly shook his head in denial, saying, "No, ever since I was born, I have never touched a steering wheel!"
Show off, keep pretending!
Of course, Tang Yan had no idea that this guy had a unique intelligence sphere in his mind. Whenever something fell into his hands, the intelligence sphere would automatically display the steps to operate it in his mind.
Although the intelligence sphere was quite peculiar, it wasn't infallible. It was only after Xiao Yun had taken more taxis and observed the process that the intelligence sphere recorded the entire procedure and provided him with accurate prompts.
With the assistance of the Heavenly Spirit Essence within him, his movements appeared very skilled.
From Tang Yan's perspective, however, her thoughts were different. She mused that just from his demeanor, this guy didn't seem like a country bumpkin who had just arrived in the city. She wondered how many unknown secrets he was hiding.
Xiao Yun glanced at Tang Yan and noticed she was curiously examining him from the side. He couldn't help but humbly say, "Sister Yan, I know I'm handsome, but please don't look at me like that; otherwise, it will make me feel quite embarrassed!"
Tang Yan's face turned red as she quickly withdrew her gaze from him.
"Why don't you tell me about yourself?" Xiao Yun asked.
"Actually..." Tang Yan's face turned pale as she hesitated to speak. "I am someone who has been kicked out of my home!"
Xiao Yun was taken aback and asked, "Why?"
"Just because of Lin Shusheng!" Tang Yan replied.
Xiao Yun asked, "Who is Lin Shusheng?"
As soon as the question left his lips, he immediately guessed who this person was: "Is it your current husband, the director of the Labor Bureau?"
"That's right!" Tang Yan replied.
From Tang Yan's account, Xiao Yun learned that she was originally a well-known campus beauty at Pearl University of the Provincial Capital. Not only was she beautiful, but she was also talented, and many people pursued her at that time, including some high-ranking officials' children and young masters from wealthy families.
However, among all her suitors, it was surprising that she had set her sights on the plain-looking and humble Lin Shusheng. Lin Shusheng was from Galaxy City, had an average appearance with a flat face, but excelled academically. He had a sweet tongue that could charm anyone; Tang Yan was completely captivated by him.
The two quickly fell into a passionate romance. Tang Yan brought Lin Shusheng home, but faced strong opposition from her parents, especially her father, Tang Guoqiang, who was furious and adamantly opposed to their relationship.
Mother Tang's reason for opposing her daughter's choice was simple: she disapproved of Lin Shusheng's poor family background. However, Tang Guoqiang's reasoning was somewhat laughable; he claimed that Lin Shusheng had poor bone structure.
"Bones?" Xiao Yun asked upon hearing this. "Is your dad a fortune teller?"
Tang Yan replied, "No. However, my dad comes from a traditional Chinese medicine family and specializes in orthopedics. He believes that without bones, one cannot stand; having bones is essential for a person's essence, energy, and spirit. A person's character is reflected in their bone structure!"
"Your father's views resonate with me. If I could meet him, we might even become close friends or like brothers!" Xiao Yun nodded somewhat indiscreetly.
"What are you talking about!" Tang Yan rolled her eyes at him.
Then Tang Yan continued to say that when her father first met Lin Shusheng, he believed he had an alluring bone structure but deemed it thin and insubstantial. He thought Lin Shusheng was someone who would easily change allegiances for personal gain and lacked any moral integrity; any woman marrying him would inevitably face a tragic life.
Tang Yan found her father's theories absurd and couldn't accept them. After graduating from university, Lin Shusheng was assigned to a government position in Galaxy City. When she proposed to her family that she wanted to marry him and settle down in Galaxy City, Tang Guoqiang exploded with rage and completely drove her out of the house.
Despite her mother's strong opposition to the marriage, Tang Yan's mother, Wang Yu, secretly arranged for a car to be sent to her daughter on the wedding day as a form of dowry.
Unfortunately, as Tang Guoqiang had anticipated, Lin Shusheng, in pursuit of his official position, became increasingly dismissive of Tang Yan after he was appointed as the director of the City Labor Bureau.
Xiao Yun asked, "Do your parents know about your situation with Lin?"
"They knew long ago!" Tang Yan replied. "The reason they agreed to let me come home today is that I lied to them, saying I had already divorced Lin Shusheng!"
Xiao Yun sighed, "It seems your father had good judgment back then. What a pity—a tender little cabbage has been pushed around by a pig!"
"Uh, what do you mean by little cabbage?" Tang Yan didn't quite understand at first.
"Oh, I didn't say anything," Xiao Yun said with a nervous sweat, realizing her words might have implied something inappropriate.
Tang Yan continued, "Actually, Lin doesn't care about my feelings at all; he openly has affairs, and this is related to my father."
After hearing Tang Yan's words, Xiao Yun curiously asked, "How is this related to your father?"
Tang Yan smiled wryly and said, "That's also why I wanted you to accompany me to the Provincial Capital today. Once we get to my house, you'll understand!"
Xiao Yun was momentarily confused. How could Lin's blatant infidelity be connected to Tang Yan's father?
