Shan Qihuan drank wine, so he called for a driver, but when he got home, it was pitch dark.
Today, Shen Yuhan didn’t leave a light for him as usual, Shan Qihuan thought that he hadn’t sent a WeChat message to him all night, and both of them ignored each other, Shan Qihuan looked at the clock on the wall, it was around 10:30 in the evening, so he probably wasn’t asleep yet.
Shan Qihuan took a shower and changed his clothes in the other bathroom before returning to the bedroom.
There was only a raised quilt on the bed, Shen Yuhan smothered himself in the quilt, there was no sound of crying, so he was probably asleep.
Shan Qihuan went to bed quietly, trying not to disturb Shen Yuhan’s sleep.
Recently, the two of them have been having a fairly smooth life, and they rarely get into trouble like this.
After lying down, Shan Qihuan lay flat and didn’t move, after realizing that Shen Yuhan had smothered himself for too long, Shan Qihuan quietly got up and pulled his quilt down.
In the darkness, he couldn’t see his face clearly, in fact, Shen Yuhan’s sleeping posture is usually quite good, maybe he had a conflict with him today, and was suffocating himself.
Shan Qihuan felt a little guilty, but he wanted to calm down for two days first, wait until his affairs were settled, so it would not affect his mood, and then have a good chat with Shen Yuhan calmly1心平氣和 (xīn píng qì hé): tranquil and even-tempered (idiom); calmly and without stress; even-tempered and good-humored; be in a calm/placid mood., he thought he really didn’t know his wife very well.
A night of silence.

The next morning, when Shan Qihuan had breakfast, Shen Yuhan was already sitting at the dining table waiting for him.
His etiquette doesn’t allow him to eat before Shan Qihuan, but today, he didn’t call out husband to Shan Qihuan each time he open his mouth.
What happened yesterday is actually not over yet.
Shan Qihuan saw that his face remained calm, which was completely different from the usual smile on his face and face when he spoke, once again, he was sure that he really didn’t understand Shen Yuhan, Shen Yuhan, who was having a cold war with him, was a little cold, and he was a little flustered.
Shan Qihuan took the initiative to open his mouth: “You were already asleep when I came back last night.”
Shen Yuhan lowered his head to drink congee: “Um.”
Shan Qihuan didn’t know what to say for a moment, did he go too far when he said the both of them should calm down yesterday?
“I’ll talk to you when I come back tonight.” He can only make such a decision first.
“Um.” Shen Yuhan simply responded, also reflecting on whether he had pushed his husband too hard yesterday, after all, his husband didn’t know that he was ‘Miss Shen’.
Shan Qihuan went to the company in this way, Shen Yuhan sent him to the door as usual, and he stood at the door in a daze for a while, if Shan Qihuan paid a little more attention, he would have noticed that the interface on Shen Yuhan’s mobile phone was a photo of him talking to someone last night, the title above is ‘Shan Qihuan’s marriage in crisis? Late-night secret meeting with Miss World’.
–
When Shen Yuhan got up in the morning, he originally wanted to have a good talk with his husband, but his husband didn’t get up until breakfast time, so he went about his own business first, watching the news on TV for a while, and then checked other things on his mobile phone, unexpectedly, this news was pushed directly to his mobile phone.
If the photo was just two people, Shen Yuhan would regard it as fake, but he recognized the car in the background, it was the one Shan Qihuan had told him about, and he was the only one in Jiang City who owned it.
Should he trust him?
If they hadn’t had a quarrel, maybe he wouldn’t have believed it at all, but they had a quarrel yesterday, and Shan Qihuan left the house without looking back.
The report said that the place where Shan Qihuan and Miss World had a secret meeting was actually very hidden, it is a certain club that specializes in providing opportunities for rich people to get to know celebrities.
He also searched what Miss World was, but it was better not to read it, after reading it, Shen Yuhan felt bitter in his mouth, it turned out that she was a beauty selected from hundreds of countries around the world, while his little title as ‘The First Ger in Qi Kindom’ couldn’t be compared at all.
It turned out that without realizing it, his husband had started to feel bored with him.
Shen Yuhan wiped his tears for a while in the greenhouse before having breakfast with Shan Qihuan, he had washed his face with water, so when Shan Qihuan got up, he didn’t find any signs that he had cried, thinking that his eyes were still swollen from crying last night.
After Shan Qihuan went to work, Shen Yuhan sat alone in the greenhouse all morning, he didn’t come back to his senses until Director Fang called him.
Director Fang smiled and said: “Xiao Shen, have you been busy recently?”
Shen Yuhan gathered his emotions and said: “Not bad, not too busy.”
Director Fang is also quite attentive: “It’s not a big deal, but you sound like you have a cold?”
Shen Yuhan made an excuse to cover up his discomfort: “I don’t have a cold, but my throat is a little dry since I didn’t drink any water, is there anything Director wants from me?”
Director Fang doesn’t need to try to be friendly again, and goes straight to the point: “It’s like this, I remember that you know a little bit about the writing on the tombs of the Western Han Dynasty, I would like to find out how you recognize it.” He found that the experts were having a hard time deciphering the tomb owner’s writing, and the current progress was a bit slow, he remembered that Shen Yuhan seemed to know it as well.
Shen Yuhan said: “Our family used to have similar reading books, I learned from the elders of the family, later, these reading books were put away by my family and I never studied them again, I can barely recognize these characters, and I also practiced them when I was practicing calligraphy.”
“That’s really great!” Director Fang thought it through without any effort, “It’s like this, a large number of books have been unearthed from ancient tombs recently, all of which are written in that mysterious country, I guess your Shen family has some connection with this tomb owner, you may be a descendant of the Shen family, could you please do us a little favor again, help us decipher the words on the books, this is very important for our archaeological work!”
Shen Yuhan said without thinking: “If that’s the case, then it’s my duty2義不容辭 (yì bù róng cí): not to be shirked without dishonor (idiom); duty-bound; incumbent; have an unshirkable duty. to do so, I can go there any time.”
“Good, but this time, it’s not in the capital, but at the excavation site, that side has been protected, and basically all the archaeological experts from the project team are there, if you don’t mind, can you leave today or tomorrow? I’ll send someone to pick you up when you arrive.”
“Okay, just give me the address, I’ll pack up in the afternoon and I’ll be ready to go.” Shen Yuhan really doesn’t want to stay at home and entertain foolish ideas, as his husband said, they needed to calm down.
“Fine, you can get there by plane or high-speed train.” Director Fang also made a suggestion, “The airport may be a bit far from the location of the ancient tomb, but the high-speed train station is closer.”
“Um, then I’ll pack up, and leave in the afternoon.” Shen Yuhan had never taken a high-speed train before, so he chose the plane.
He held his heart, eager to see if there was anything left behind by his family.
Even though they are separated by thousands of years, he still hopes to find something related to his family, probably as a support in another world.
Shen Yuhan stood in the bedroom carrying a suitcase, he brought his identification and bank card, he actually didn’t like chatting on the mobile phone, preferring to convey his thoughts with pen and paper, he wrote a short letter and stuck it on the table in the bedroom and living room.
He thought, Shan Qihuan would be able to see it when he came back.
They need to think carefully about this marriage, he knows that in modern times, his union with Shan Qihuan can be called an arranged marriage3包辦婚姻 (bāo bàn hūn yīn): forced marriage; arranged marriage (without the consent of the individuals)., unlike other couples, who have gone through the trials and tribulations of courting and cohabitation before they got together, their relationship is actually unstable.
The most important thing is that Shan Qihuan is a completely modern person, while he is a feudal ancient person in his bones, over time, as his husband said, he may really feel that he cannot keep up with the trend of the times, is boring, and old-fashioned.
Shen Yuhan wiped the tears that had accumulated in the corners of his eyes, if they were separated, he would really be very sad, but long-term pain is worse than short-term pain, his husband deserves a better modern person.
He couldn’t stay any longer.
After wiping away the uncontrollable tears from his eyes, carrying a small amount of luggage, he left the home where he had lived for most of half the year.
–
In the morning, Shan Qihuan was still in the conference room, listening to the quarrel between the people in the second house and third house, his eldest brother had also been a little strange recently, even though he obviously almost physically fit, but he’s still reluctant to return to the company.
In the afternoon, there was another incident on his company’s side that required him to go back to deal with it, a meeting was held for nearly four hours, he was going back and forth, and he was physically and mentally exhausted, he didn’t eat much at noon, and was so hungry that his stomach hurt.
Ever since Shen Yuhan married him, he hadn’t had a stomach problem in the past six months.
He sat on his chair holding his stomach, his forehead was sweating from the pain, and his face was pale, Assistant Qu poured him hot water and relief medicine.
Assistant Qu suggested: “Boss, why don’t you go to the hospital and have a look.”
Shan Qihuan shook his head and said: “I’m fine, I’ll just sit for a while.”
Assistant Qu stood aside and waited, fearing that something would happen to him, if something happened, he would immediately arrange for someone to take the boss to the hospital.
Fortunately, Shan Qihuan’s stomachache gradually eased, so Assistant Qu asked him in a double meaning: “Are you okay?”
“I’m fine.” Shan Qihuan obviously didn’t realize what he was implying.
Assistant Qu added: “It’s good that you’re fine, I thought the boss’s wife would be angry.”
Shan Qihuan grasped the key: “Angry?” Is it already public knowledge that he and Shen Yuhan had a quarrel? Didn’t he just talk to Liu Tan? Shen Yuhan isn’t the kind of person who likes to gossip with others, so there’s no reason for that.
When Assistant Qu heard this, he felt something was wrong: “Boss, you don’t know?” He hadn’t heard him say anything about dealing with the scandals the whole day, so he thought that the boss and the boss’s wife didn’t care.
“Know what?” Shan Qihuan frowned, he hadn’t even eaten two bites of food today, he looked at his mobile phone that didn’t have a single new message from Shen Yuhan.
“It’s the scandal about you going out to eat last night and being photographed, it’s on the hot search this morning.” He believed that his boss wasn’t that kind of person, and it must have been written randomly by an entertainment reporter, “I thought you knew about it, so I never asked.”
Shan Qihuan immediately opened his mobile phone and started searching for his name, and the first thing that caught his eye was the photo posted by the entertainment journalist!
He took a look at the time this Weibo post was posted, it was six o’clock this morning, and he suddenly remembered that something was wrong with Shen Yuhan in the morning!
He thought to himself: Oh no! Shen Yuhan won’t believe it, right!
Thinking about this possibility, and the reason why they quarreled, Shan Qihuan’s face turned even paler now, and regardless of the fact that his stomach still hurt, he picked up his mobile phone and left: “Xiao Qu, take me home! Hurry!”
After getting into the car, he started dialing Shen Yuhan’s mobile phone, but no matter how he called, it was always turned off!
After rushing home as quickly as possible, Shan Qihuan found that the usually warm home had become deserted, he ran back to his room clutching his stomach, there was no one there, only an A4 paper pressed by a small vase on the table.
The handwriting on the paper was beautiful and neat, but the first sentence directly drove Shan Qihuan into the ice cave, as if an ice needle had been inserted into his stomach.
——Husband, I’m leaving, don’t worry, and there is no need to look for me.
