Two years into her marriage, Liu Fuying was still a virgin.
Her husband even personally suggested she find a pretty boy to keep—his only request was that she keep it discreet.

Chapter 83 Crying Until Dawn
"Ayin, are you okay?"
"No, nothing."
Liu Fuying's heart was pounding, but he had to suppress his restlessness and forced a smile towards the old lady.
"Maybe my hands are a little sore from holding the pen for too long. I've been playing at the hot spring resort these past few days, and there are so many accounts to be done at home and in the shops outside. I'm afraid I won't be able to finish them all day today."
"Then, then why don't you just take a break first, and then continue to sort out the accounts after you're done?"
"No need. The more you rest, the more it will accumulate. Once I finish it all at once, it will be easy. Then I can spend more time with my mother-in-law."
Her words were both soothing and urging, urging the old lady to leave quickly.
The old lady listened and nodded.
"Okay then, but Ayin, if you really can't hold on any longer, don't force yourself to do it. By the way, drink this bowl of soup. It will help replenish your energy."
"……good."
Liu Fuying had a smile on his face, but his heart was filled with bitterness.
Look at the old lady's attitude, she seems to be waiting for her to finish drinking. There is no way to avoid her, so she might as well be quick about it.
She picked up the bowl and drank it all in big gulps.
"Ayin, why are you drinking so fast? Don't choke."
By the time the old lady finished speaking, Liu Fuying's bowl was almost empty.
"Mother-in-law, please go back and have a rest. The soup is delicious, but you are not feeling well. Next time, don't make it yourself. Just ask the people below to do it."
"What's wrong with that?" Old Madam Shen didn't notice anything wrong with her. Instead, she was particularly happy and said, "Ayin likes to drink it. I am happy to make it. I will make this soup for you next time."
Liu Fuying could no longer laugh.
The allergic effects had already taken effect in her body, making it difficult for her to breathe.
She endured the discomfort and picked up the pen, urging him to say, "Then mother-in-law, please go back and have a rest. I will continue to check the accounts."
"Okay, I'm leaving now. Take your time."
Old Madam Shen had a happy look on her face and left Liu Fuying's bedroom briskly with an empty bowl in her hand.
As soon as the door closed, Pei Zhouwu immediately crawled out from under the table.
He didn't really do anything just now, he just stretched out his hand to scare people.
"you……"
Pei Zhouwu's eyes only fell on her for a moment, and he immediately noticed her abnormality. He immediately bent down and asked her: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
The soup was full of peanut flavor.
The amount of peanuts added was very generous. It was said that Xu Liangyin loved to eat peanuts, so the old lady always added plenty of peanuts.
Therefore, Liu Fuying's allergic reaction was more intense.
She was already having difficulty breathing, and some itchy urticaria were gradually appearing on her exposed neck.
"Ah-Hina!"
"Medicine. There's medicine there. In a red, red box on the shelf, in a gold, gold bottle."
Before she could finish, Pei Zhouwu had already gone to the storage shelf and took back the red box. After opening it, he saw a golden bottle among a pile of medicine bottles.
While opening the bottle to take out the medicine, he strode to the round table and poured a glass of water.
"Aying, slow down."
Pei Zhouwu stuffed the pill into Liu Fuying's mouth, but was worried that she would choke on drinking water due to her breathing problems.
Just as he expected, most of the water he ate after swallowing the medicine was choked out.
Pei Zhouwu was very anxious and carried her to the bed, thinking that she might be more comfortable if she lay flat, but she refused and sat on the edge of the bed, hugged him and snuggled into his arms.
"Don't move, just hold me for a while."
Liu Fuying's voice was still trembling, low, like a cat's meow, which made people feel distressed.
Pei Zhouwu beside her adjusted his posture to make her sit more comfortably, then he put his arm around her and held her gently in his arms.
"Do you understand now?" Liu Fuying asked in a low voice.
Pei Zhouwu did not answer, but his eyes, red with heartache, had already replaced the response in his heart.
"I have been through all these years like this, and the pain is not limited to this one. The old lady is nice to me, but every day when she looks at me, she is actually thinking of another person. It's fine to marry into this family and live a widow, but I have to be used as a substitute to do things I don't want to do. I don't like this feeling, but this is my own choice. As long as I think about the generous rewards I can get, I feel that I can swallow any hardship."
"I won't give up!"
Liu Fuying hugged Pei Zhouwu's neck, tears slid down her cheeks and dripped into his neck, feeling cold and wet in his heart.
"Hina, I'm sorry."
He silently tightened his hold on her, his brows furrowed with guilt.
"Pei Zhouwu, my husband, I really can't bear to give up. I can't stand to endure it in the end and get nothing. I don't want this. I really can't bear this. I don't want..."
As he spoke the latter part, Liu Fuying's voice gradually became weaker.
"Hina, I understand."
It's his fault.
He shouldn't have pushed her into this dilemma.
It's all his fault.
"You don't understand." Liu Fuying's voice was filled with tears, and her body gradually softened. "That was what I wanted to get even if I had to give up you. I can't... be unwilling..."
"I know. I know everything."
Pei Zhouwu sniffed lightly. He took the person in his arms out, held her and let her lie down, but she was so sleepy that she seemed unable to hold on any longer.
When I pulled the quilt over her, I heard her utter three words softly and vaguely.
"sorry."
She raised her hand despite her sleepiness and slowly reached out to Pei Zhouwu's face.
"You are the best person in the world to me besides my mother, but I bullied and hurt you like that. It's all my fault. I am sorry. Ah Zhou, I'm sorry. Can you please forgive me? I deceive myself every day. In fact, I miss you very much. I miss you so much that I cry secretly from dusk to dawn. But I dare not tell anyone, let alone face myself honestly. I'm sorry."
"I'm sorry, Azhou."
Pei Zhouwu suddenly smiled, but it was not a mockery, just a feeling of relief.
He loves her very much, but he is also a human being, a normal person with seven emotions.
He will also feel angry, resentful, and aggrieved.
I will hate it too!
When he learned the truth, he really hated her deception and thought about taking revenge on her. But when he saw her standing in front of him with tears in her eyes, all the hatred and resentment seemed to disappear, and none of them could overcome the throbbing of ending his longing.
In the past few days, she told him a lot, but it was half true and half false so he couldn't believe it.
Only today, only at this moment.
He finally heard her true feelings.
I'm sorry... Yes, he also needs a sincere apology. With a sincere apology, he can put everything behind him and start over with her.
The teardrops fell on her face like pearls, blending deeply with her tear marks.
Liu Fuying had already fallen into a daze and closed her eyes, but he was still caressing her cheek lovingly, murmuring softly.
"I wanted to disappear with the wind, but you kept me in the world."
He loved her far more than he hated her.
"No matter what, I will forgive you. It was you who pulled me out of the abyss of death. Even in these years of extreme pain, as long as I think of you, my heart is full of hope."
"Aying, you make me feel that I am still alive."
"I really love you."
