DWEO : Zhanyi MPREG

92. Acid rain

 Zhan POV

Zhoucheng's eyes were intent on my face, but I ignore them and the glint of concern they had. I turned in my chair standing up; I stood next to the glass wall to the view of Macao. Thinking back to that day.

Sizhui and Lucy couldn't understand how their Mommy would just up and leave without saying goodbye. I made up an excuse why I couldn't tell them the real reason Yibo left. What would I say to them?

There was a nasty thunderstorm that night and Lucy is scared of them, it took a while and a lot of comforting for her to stop crying and asking for her mother. I knew it was wrong to keep them away from him. If I was truly honest with myself I feared that given the chance, they'd want to go with him than stay with me. I couldn't lose my entire family in one day.

Now a week later, they miss him and the worst part was that I missed him too. Terribly. Try as I might I couldn't get him out of my head, and the questions; where was he? Who was he with? Was he okay? Was he thinking about me?

Nor could I get the thought of his betrayal out of my head either.

The saddest part was loving someone to the point where you're willing to overlook infidelity just to get them back. Willing to accept any scraps they could offer just to have them with you. That's what every part of my mind, body, and soul wanted; it wanted him back, despite everything. What kind of besotted and weak fool was I?

I guess I expected him to fight for me, fight for our love but he didn't. He just left, just like that, without even a backward glance. Leaving me the credit cards I gave him, as if I would care if he used them or not. 

He couldn't have said he doesn't need me any more bluntly. Or that cutting his losses from me wasn't so hard. He couldn't even answer me when I asked if he still loved me. That was another knife in my heart, I knew he loved me at some point but did that change along the way? I was never under the impression that he was unhappy.

Unless he pretended for Sizhui and Lucy's sake, I know him well enough to know he wouldn't think twice about bending backward and forwards for them.

He did call them on some days, and that made them happy. It was also a reminder that he didn't try to call me not even once, either way, I doubted it would make much of a difference if he did. I watched the sun begin to set, I was tired of being a mess over a man who probably doesn't care about me right now. 

I needed to get out and forget him even just for one night. I then got an idea that put a smile on my lips; I turned to Zhoucheng who looked at me in question. "I just remembered that I'm Xiao Zhan, the world is my oyster." I said looking at the city of Macao beneath me. I can have anyone I want, why pine over just one?

"Go get ready buddy, we're going out." I said clearing my table and putting my jacket on. I grabbed my briefcase going around my table then he stood in front of me.

"That's probably not such a good idea." He said and I raised my eyebrows at him "Why the hell not?" I asked and he sighed "Well, first of all, we can't go hitting the clubs and flirting with any, I'm married and technically so are you." He said and my jaw tightened.

"You don't really want to do this." He added and I raised my chin, "I don't?" I challenged, "What are you trying to do here Zhoucheng?"

"I'm trying to be a good friend and save you from yourself." He said with a smile.

"Last time I checked I didn't need saving. So your services are quite sufficient" I said and he chuckled. "Probably, but I'm also trying to save you from the regret you'll surely feel." He said,

"Regret?" I asked and he sighed "Yes, you'll go out and you'll have a great time. But you'll wake up with the world's biggest hangover and naked next to some woman you've never seen in your life." He said, my gaze narrowed, "Would that be such a bad thing?" I asked
