At the Dinner Party, My Husband Discussed Infidelity in German
At the business dinner, my husband Aidan's business partner asked him in German, "Your mistress is two months pregnant. What are you planning to do?"
Aidan smiled slightly, attentively serving me wine and food.
He then replied in German, "My wife doesn't like children. I'll have Tatiana give birth and then take the child abroad to raise, just to continue the family line."
I sipped my red wine, but tears quietly slipped down my cheeks.
Aidan looked a bit flustered, "Why are you crying?"
I forced a smile and explained, "This red wine is a bit overwhelming, it's making my eyes uncomfortable."
But the wine was smooth and not very strong; the tears were because I understood German.

Chapter 2
After dinner, Shen Yifeng leaned against my shoulder, slightly tipsy.
"Darling, let's go home, " he murmured.
Lin Yuxuan trailed behind us, calling out loudly, "Yifeng, aren't you coming to the karaoke with us?
Everyone's already there, just waiting on us."
Shen Yifeng didn't even turn his head, remaining firmly by my side.
He declined, "No, Yuanyuan needs to rest. I have to accompany her home."
Lin Yuxuan clicked his tongue in envy but didn't press further.
At that moment, I received a text message.
"Su Yuanyuan, let's make a bet. Will Yifeng spend the night with you or come out with me?"
My gaze fixed on the phone screen, and Shen Yifeng, noticing I had stopped, turned to look at me.
"Honey, why aren't we moving?"
I quickly turned off the screen, feigning nonchalance.
"It's nothing, just some provocation from a mistress."
Shen Yifeng's brow furrowed slightly, and he reached out for my phone.
Just then, his phone rang with a distinctive ringtone for Chen Yuxuan.
I handed my phone to him. "Do you still want to see?"
Shen Yifeng gazed at me, his eyes a bit flustered.
"Honey, don't tease me. There's no third party. Having you is enough for me."
He nuzzled against my neck like a child.
I gently pushed his head away and calmly said, "Answer your phone.
It's been ringing for a while."
Only then did Shen Yifeng straighten up, gesturing to me that he'd step aside to take the call.
Before he could say anything, I discreetly walked towards the driver waiting at the gate.
A flicker of surprise flashed in Shen Yifeng's eyes, but he quickly returned to his usual demeanor upon hearing the sweet voice on the other end of the line.
Turning away, I suppressed the bitterness welling up inside me.
I knew he wouldn't be going home with me tonight.
Sure enough, after the call ended, I received another message from Chen Yuxuan.
"Su Yuanyuan, you lost. Yifeng cares about me the most."
She then sent a picture of a prenatal checkup report.
"And of course, our child. Yifeng promised to give the child a home. He's so looking forward to this baby. Do you think he'll divorce you?"
I fought back tears, composing myself before Shen Yifeng could notice.
"Honey, something urgent came up at work tonight. I can't go home with you. Go ahead without me, and I'll make it up to you later, okay?"
He covered my hand with his, his eyes filled with affection.
I looked at him quietly.
"Shen Yifeng, I'm feeling dizzy tonight. Could you stay home with me instead of going to work?"
After all, he was someone I had loved deeply. Even with everything laid bare before me, it was hard to believe.
I thought, if he could just stay with me for one night, if he could just be with me tonight, I would give him a chance to explain.
Shen Yifeng gave a wry smile and gently patted my head.
"It's okay, Yuanyuan. I'll call the family doctor. I'll come back to you once I'm done, okay?"
With that, he cupped my face, intending to kiss me.
I pushed him away.
"I'm dizzy. Go ahead and take care of your work."
After Shen Yifeng got out of the car, I closed the door and instructed the driver to drive.
Not long after, a message from Chen Yuxuan appeared on my phone.
"How does it feel, Su Yuanyuan, being abandoned by your own husband? If I were you, I'd leave quietly."
I suddenly felt nauseous. I asked the driver to pull over, leaned against the railing, and vomited until I was completely drained.
