Quick Wear: Reversing Life

Chapter 4: Desperate Housewives’ Counterattack (04)

Cheng Yu couldn't remember how long it had been since he and his wife slept in the same bed. When Cheng Hao was a few years old, they would sleep in the same room when their family returned to the old house for Chinese New Year and other holidays. As his work became busier, sometimes he would just go back to visit and not stay overnight.

Late at night, Cheng Yu suddenly recalled the time when they had just married. Liu Xinyan was still a young girl then, bright and beautiful, but not particularly intelligent, and they didn't even talk to each other. However, for the sake of cooperation between the two families, he still married her. Although the Cheng family was a well-established celebrity in S City, they ultimately needed an infusion of fresh blood and lacked a lot of money to fill the gap in their assets. Fortunately, the very wealthy Liu family also needed an opportunity to squeeze into the S City circle with a legitimate reason.

After the marriage, Cheng Yu could actually feel that Liu Xinyan liked him, and she would often get jealous and throw tantrums. He was busy trying to transform Ruida and was exhausted from dealing with it. Fortunately, Liu Xinyan became pregnant with Cheng Hao soon after the marriage, and her thoughts shifted from him to Cheng Hao.

The years of childcare had gradually withered the beautiful, fresh flower. Cheng Yu, however, wasn't one for women. Even though Liu Xinyan was no longer young, he had no desire for a divorce or to keep a mistress. He'd been so busy with work over the years, so busy he'd barely had time to sleep, and so busy he'd missed many milestones in his son's life.

Recently, the flower that was slowly withering has bloomed again very quickly. Deep down, Cheng Yu is actually happy. He knows that he owes her a lot over the years and has been making up for it materially. Now she has new hobbies and a new circle of friends. As a husband, Cheng Yu is actually happy for her.

That night, Cheng Yu closed his eyes and thought for a long time. Liu Xinyan beside him was already fast asleep. She slept very quietly, keeping the same position before going to bed without moving.

Listening to the rhythmic rising and falling of his breathing, Cheng Yu soon fell into a deep sleep.

...

Cheng Yu woke up quickly because of his biological clock that had been maintained for many years. The sunlight outside the window was bright and gentle, shining into the room through the semi-transparent curtains.

Turning around, Liu Xinyan was still asleep. She had changed her position, facing Cheng Yu instead of her back to him before sleeping, curled up in the silk quilt, with only the upper half of her sleeping face exposed.

He lifted the quilt and got up, then pulled the translucent curtains a little. Turning his head, he saw most of Liu Xinyan's body exposed in the quilt that he had lifted. She was wearing a white silk suspender, and her arms pressed her chest into a full curve, revealing a large area of ​​white skin. Her little face was rosy from sleeping, several degrees more seductive than usual.

Cheng Yu: ...

Cheng Yu covered her with the quilt again and returned to the guest room.

Liu Xinyan was completely unaware of this. She slept until she woke up naturally, and Cheng Yu had already gone out to work.

Cheng Hao was busy taking care of his puppy, and Liu Xinyan was also busy visiting the set. She was very interested in how a movie was made. You Yue was generous in teaching her her expertise, and even asked Liu Xinyan if she would like to make a cameo appearance as a background character for one minute.

Although Liu Xinyan can act, she has no intention of performing on the big screen, so she rejected You Yue's kindness.

The filming of the movie was expected to take more than a month, but the training of newcomers and the continuous polishing of the script made "Year of Hunting Winter" take nearly two months to shoot. When Cheng Hao started his first year of high school, the film had just completed its shooting.

You Yue invited her to attend the wrap-up party of the movie. She was very concerned about this movie. Directing this movie made her lose another ten pounds. She decided to have a good meal on the wrap-up day to replenish her body.

The party was scheduled for September 9nd, which happened to be the day for the parent-teacher meeting.

According to the regulations of Seth International, a parent meeting is held before the start of each school year to summarize the students’ situation in the previous school year and the study and work plan for the next school year.

Cheng Hao received his textbooks when school started on September 9st, and had a parent-teacher meeting on the 1nd. He then attended the wrap-up party right after the meeting.

According to the original timeline, Chang Ling and Chang Xin'er would be able to meet on September 9nd. The mission was finally about to begin. Liu Xinyan was in a good mood. The night before the parent-teacher meeting, she hummed a song and did a tedious skin care routine.

Cheng Yu came out of the bathroom in his pajamas and saw Liu Xinyan holding something like a gun and spraying water on his face.

I don’t really understand women’s skin care tools.

Liu Xinyan saw Cheng Yu, who had just finished showering, in the mirror and curled her lips. This man had been sleeping in the master bedroom since that night. According to him, this bedroom was originally the master bedroom, not her room.

Cheapskate.

In the past, she didn't like sleeping in the same room with others. Even if she had to, she would still stay in a light sleep state. That night, she kindly took in a man whose bed was wet by the dog, but she didn't expect to give him the opportunity to stay.

I was unhappy with him, so I found fault with him everywhere.

"Didn't I tell you to dry the water on the carpet before coming out after taking a shower?" Liu Xinyan pointed at a string of watermarks as Cheng Yu walked out of the bathroom.

Cheng Yu: ...

"I won't do it again next time." He showed a good attitude in admitting his mistake.

Liu Xinyan felt that Cheng Yu had become very strange these days. He was willing to approach her, stay in the same room with her, and sleep in the same bed with her. According to the original owner's memory, Cheng Yu was actually indifferent.

Although Cheng Yu devoted himself to work, never had extramarital affairs, and had no thoughts of divorce, he would reply to messages promptly when he was not busy.

This aloofness wasn't just about his personality; he was generally easy to talk to. Besides taking tough measures at work, Cheng Yu was actually a pretty good-tempered person in private. The original owner had been married to him for many years, and Cheng Yu had never exchanged a quarrel or argument with him.

But just because he had a good temper didn't mean he was a good guy. Most of the time, the original owner only felt indifference from him.

In the original owner's memory, Cheng Yu's apathy was often reflected in his conscious behavior. He wouldn't proactively explain his relationship with Chang Ling, nor would he recount their past. He knew that after the announcement of their marriage, the original owner was ridiculed by the community, but he never intervened to defend them. Even after their marriage, he never actively sought to establish a marital relationship. Even their sexual intimacy was only discussed because Cheng Yu's parents suggested they have a child.

Cheng Yu would not share his life with the original owner, nor would he tell her his itinerary. Many times, the original owner didn't know where he was on business trips or what he was doing, and most of the time she had to take the initiative to ask his secretary.

Cheng Yu has a strong sense of boundaries. After getting the opportunity to sleep in separate rooms, he has always done so, even to the point where he sleeps in the master bedroom while the original owner sleeps in the guest bedroom.

Cheng Yu's coldness is a silent torture. He does not use verbal violence and never engages in physical harassment. He gives his wife most of the respect and titles, but is reluctant to give her even the slightest bit of care.

But now, Cheng Yu's attitude has become ambiguous, and he even took the initiative to propose to end the room allocation.

Liu Xinyan couldn't say she hated him. After all, Cheng Yu's face was right there, and just glancing at it before bed would make her sleep sounder. But this change made her feel strange.

Cheng Yu looked at the woman who was in high spirits again and hummed the tune again. He watched her stand up and apply body lotion on her smooth calves.

The body lotion smells great, and the bed becomes even more fragrant after I get into it.

-

The next morning, Liu Xinyan got up earlier than Cheng Yu for the first time. She didn't care whether Cheng Yu was awake or not. She used the remote control to open the curtains and started her morning washing and skin care routine.

Cheng Yu was awakened by her pulling the curtains, and when he heard the sound of bottles and jars, he simply got up. After washing up, he went into the cloakroom to change clothes and saw Liu Xinyan struggling with two sets of clothes.

Seeing Cheng Yu coming in, she picked up two sets of clothes and asked Cheng Yu which one looked better on him.

Cheng Yu took a look and chose the one on the right.

The parent-teacher conference was to begin in the afternoon, and Cheng Yu had to go to work today, leaving Liu Xinyan to go alone. Cheng Hao actually wanted Cheng Yu to go too, but Cheng Yu had several important meetings to attend and couldn't spare the time.

In the afternoon, Liu Xinyan and Cheng Hao arrived at school together. The high school department was much larger than the junior high school department. The driver took them to the East District High School teaching building before driving away.

Cheng Hao was in Class 11 (A) on the seventh floor, a dedicated activity area for Class 11. Besides the main classroom, there were also labs, activity rooms, and other classrooms. On the north side of the building, each floor had a corridor leading to the Grade 12 building across the street. Grade 12 was a separate building.

After Cheng Hao brought his mother to his seat, he disappeared.

Students at Sais International are either wealthy or aristocratic, and even wealth doesn't guarantee admission; most are children of prominent figures. The curriculum is tailored to the upper class, encompassing moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic, and labor skills. In addition to the core subjects standard for national high schools, there are also a range of advanced courses in equestrianism, fencing, chess, painting, model airplanes, and other well-rounded subjects. Students can also choose to pursue additional subjects based on their interests.

Most of the students in Class A are from the powerful circles in City S. There are only ten students in a class. Cheng Yu also studied here before.

"Are you Mrs. Cheng?" Someone saw Cheng Hao's nameplate on the desk and discovered that there was a young woman sitting in the seat. She had bright features and exquisite makeup. She was wearing a well-cut white suit and a set of gorgeous real gold jewelry. She seemed to be radiating light.

Liu Xinyan was originally replying to You Yue's message when she heard someone talking to her. She turned her head and found that it was a wealthy lady dressed elegantly.

"Well, who are you?"

Mrs. Ma was shocked. She knew Liu Xinyan. To be precise, she knew Liu Xinyan since the Liu and Cheng families started discussing marriage. At that time, the marriage between the two families was very hyped, and she was one of the socialites in the circle who mocked Liu Xinyan for being a nouveau riche.

"I'm Zhou Jiayi," Mrs. Ma said. "You haven't been attending events since you got married. How many years have we not seen each other?"

Zhou Jiayi.

Liu Xinyan retrieved this person from the original owner's memories. The daughter of Zhou Yin Industrial, she had married Ma Yanhui of Hongfu Jewelry. Among the socialites who had previously mocked the original owner, she was considered the friendliest. They rarely mocked her, often serving as a backdrop for the other side's jokes.

In my memory, Zhou Jiayi was clearly a pretty beauty. How come she has become so fat now? She is covered in jade jewels and looks so wealthy.

Zhou Jiayi's son is actually in the same class as Cheng Hao.

Some people around noticed this place. Most of them knew each other and were from the same circle. Someone asked Zhou Jiayi who she was.

Zhou Jiayi said loudly: "She is Cheng Yu's wife, Liu Xinyan."

Zhou Jiayi was the only parent in the classroom who knew about the situation between Cheng Yu and Liu Xinyan at the time. The original owner had not appeared in social occasions for a long time, and most people did not know Liu Xinyan. When they learned that Cheng Yu's wife was so young, they thought she was a second-married wife.

"Mom, here's some water." Cheng Hao disappeared and reappeared just as suddenly. It turned out he had gone to buy her some water. The two similar faces, put together, made it clear they were biological children.

My mother!

Immediately, a parent nearby asked, "You look like a girl in her twenties. How do you maintain your appearance?"

"Yeah, yeah. At first I thought it was Cheng Hao's sister coming to attend a parent-teacher conference for him."

While most wives in the entertainment industry take good care of themselves, the signs of aging are still noticeable no matter how well they take care of themselves, making them appear only a few years younger than they actually are. Some wives were beautiful socialites in their youth, but as they age, they begin to gain weight. The more determined ones resort to fitness, yoga, and Pilates to maintain their figure, while others, feeling that their children are already grown up, have gradually come to terms with the fact that their figures are out of shape.

When Cheng Hao was in elementary school, the original owner had held several parent-teacher meetings for him. Gradually, Cheng Hao didn't want Liu Xinyan to attend parent-teacher meetings for him. Every time Cheng Hao didn't have time to attend a parent-teacher meeting, he would ask his grandparents or his cousin who was already working to attend it for him.

The original owner had never been seen in the entire junior high school, so most parents didn't know Liu Xinyan. Only Zhou Jiayi knew that Liu Xinyan wasn't always like this. When she was young, Liu Xinyan was quite pretty, but her taste was very vulgar. She loved wearing gold and silver, and she wanted to cover herself in gold, for fear that others would not know that she was a nouveau riche.

After marriage, Liu Xinyan deliberately dressed like a lady of socialite, and her style was particularly close to Chang Ling's. This made people in the circle laugh for a long time.

When the socialite circle became a hub for wealthy wives, one of the wealthy women encountered Liu Xinyan, dressed in a formal suit and without makeup, while shopping at the mall. She immediately went home and gossiped with her fellow wealthy women, commenting on how old and ugly Liu Xinyan had become after marriage. After this incident, the original owner rarely went out to the supermarket again, always having her housekeeper do the shopping.

Unexpectedly, after so many years, with the passage of time and the change of things, everyone's children were studying and working, and everyone almost forgot about Liu Xinyan, she suddenly appeared with a beautiful and bright young face.
