Chapter 1218: Xia Yehua’s Marriage (13)
Mei Feng was woken up in the middle of the night by a stomachache.
Dragging her exhausted body, she walked to the bathroom.
The discomfort in her body told her that it could be that time of the month again.
She couldn’t straighten her back because of the ache in her abdomen. Frowning, she sat on the toilet to relieve herself.
She looked up into the mirror and saw her face staring back at her—she was as pale as a sheet.
She suddenly recalled her doctor’s words, “You had too many abortions when you were young and that had damaged your uterus. It’s unlikely that you can get pregnant again and your periods will be exceptionally painful.”
Exceptionally painful. More than exceptionally painful, she felt nauseous and wanted to throw up. The pain made her break out in cold perspiration, she was unable to stand up straight and her bare face was ashen.
She opened the door, walked out and got herself some sweetened water. After she drank this, she rested downstairs for a while before going upstairs again. Then she lay down quietly and went back to sleep.
After some time, Mei Feng woke up with a start.
Her eyes snapped open as though remembering something. Immediately, she reached for her cell phone and found that it was already 9 a.m.
Damn!
She turned her head, looked to the side and found that Shen Xiu was gone.
She froze for a moment and immediately became wary.
During this time of the month, her face would always look terrible to the point that she couldn’t bear anyone seeing her. In the dim lighting at night it wasn’t an issue, but during the day… Hence during this time of the month, she would make it a point to get up half an hour earlier than Shen Xiu so that she could put on makeup to look better.
But today…
Had he seen her bare face?
As she was thinking this, she suddenly heard the toilet flush and, immediately after, the bathroom door was opened. Shen Xiu walked out.
Mei Feng lowered her head in reflex but still, when Shen Xiu came out and saw her, it was hard to miss that startled expression on his face.
He cleared his throat and Mei Feng said, quickly turning the other way, “You’re awake? Hurry up and have your breakfast.”
Shen Xiu muttered faintly, “Ok.”
He picked up his jacket and turned around to head downstairs. However at the doorway, he halted as though he had just remembered something. But after a short while, he was still silent.
Mei Feng asked, “What’s the matter?”
Shen Xiu started, “Your face, what’s wrong with it?”
Face? What was wrong?
She stretched her hands out to cover her cheeks.
Shen Xiu coughed and said calmly, “You should buy better quality makeup. Look at you, you have more wrinkles on your face than Xia Yehua. She looks ten years younger than you. You’re only in your forties, how could you look like this? Actually, don’t all these celebrities get botox or anti-wrinkle injections? Why don’t you go and get that done as well?”
Mei Feng bit her lip at once.
Anger welled up within her.
She looked up angrily as she curled her fingers into tight fists. Shen Xiu had turned around to leave.
Fuming, she picked up her pillow and threw it furiously on the floor. Botox, anti-wrinkle injections. Didn’t she want them too? But the doctor wouldn’t let her.
Besides, what did he mean by saying she had more wrinkles than Xia Yehua? Was there only room for Xia Yehua in his heart and none for her?
She was so furious that with a swing of her hand, she swept everything that was on the table on the ground. Xia Yehua… Xia Yehua again! If it weren’t for that woman, then she wouldn’t have had to go through so many abortions. If it weren’t for that woman, Shen Xiu would have been together with her from the start. She had wasted twenty years of her youth and in the end, was this all she got in return?!
