Chapter 73 Two Husbands, Who Do You Love More?
"Where's Mimi?"
Liu Fuying withdrew his hand and put some distance between himself and Pei Zhouwu.
At this time, her eyes were clear, as if she had reacted.
In Pei Zhouwu's memories, her hands and feet were locked with iron chains, and every movement was accompanied by a jingling sound, which always rang out in her countless midnight dreams.
The Pei Zhouwu in front of him was still him, but he was not the same person he was three years ago.
That was why she had deliberately mentioned Shen Xi'er in an attempt to avoid it, wanting to climb out of this vortex that had been carefully designed for her.
The waves in her heart were getting higher and higher, almost beating her to pieces.
The long-running scam was laid bare before her defenselessly, and she didn't even have a chance to prepare her own response.
"Don't come over here."
Seeing Pei Zhouwu approaching step by step, she couldn't help but feel panic and stepped back repeatedly.
"You...you...that Captain Kong is your man. It was you who took Meimei away. I said that I felt strange at the time. He was so eager to call for help. It seemed like he was deliberately guiding me in something. Moreover, he said before that he was going to the hot springs, but I saw that he was not dry at all... not at all..."
When she had nowhere to retreat, Pei Zhouwu was already standing in front of her.
With his broad body blocking her way, she had nowhere to escape.
An extremely aggressive oppression emanated from his eyes, which made her unable to speak properly and could only stutter.
From the moment he entered the door, Pei Zhouwu's eyes never left her.
At this moment, it was even tighter and stickier on her face. He took another step closer, with his entire body almost pressed against hers. He even raised his hands and stroked her face with his fingertips before gently holding her face.
"Say you missed me." He said softly.
“…”
Liu Fuying pursed her lips and could not say anything now.
Immediately her cheeks became wet and crystal tears slid down her cheeks.
But these tears were not hers.
It belongs to Pei Zhouwu.
He held her face high up, at such a close distance, that when he started crying, the tears fell on her face.
"Aying, tell me you regret it, that you didn't abandon me on purpose. As long as you tell me, I can forgive you for anything."
His tears fell in strings, one after another like beads breaking off a string.
The tears were bitter, and just a slight taste of them could tell how much pain and suffering he felt.
"Ah-Hina?"
He frowned and prayed that Liu Fuying would not let him down again.
Liu Fuying's lips moved, and after holding back for a long time, he uttered, "I don't regret it."
In an instant, Pei Zhouwu's expression became more solemn, his eyes were filled with surprise, hurt and helplessness, as if blood was about to drip out.
Seeing him like this, Liu Fuying felt as if a huge rock was pressing down on his heart.
But if she was doing it for love, she would not have left Pei Zhouwu that year.
The atmosphere became increasingly depressing, and both of them remained silent for a long time.
Pei Zhouwu loosened his grip and immediately took a half step back. His red eyes still showed stubbornness as he gritted his teeth and said, "I don't believe it!"
As soon as he stepped back, the pressure on Liu Fuying immediately lessened.
She exhaled slightly to calm herself down, then raised her hand and pulled out the red hairpin from her hair and handed it to Pei Zhouwu.
"Now that it has come to this, I will not quibble about what happened back then. I also know how angry you are. As long as you can vent your anger, you can stab me as many times as you want, and you can even take half of my life."
The bamboo house was built, and he stood in front of her with tears in his eyes. He must have known the truth that she could not exonerate.
No one could stand such a thing.
Pei Zhouwu did not get angry and attack or say bad things, because he was a man of noble character, but he had to resolve the matter today.
She cried, he cried too, what could be done about it?
However, Pei Zhouwu in front of her did not relax at all because of her words. Instead, his brows were furrowed even more.
"What do I want your life for?" he asked in a questioning voice.
But he still took the red hairpin from Liu Fuying's hand. The end of the hairpin was indeed sharp enough to take a person's life. He held the hairpin in his hand not to take her life, but because he was afraid that she would use it to stab herself.
"Do you think that half of your life is enough to make up for what happened back then?" he asked again.
If his life matters, he might as well end his life early.
She would rather lose her life than give him a word of comfort, even if it was false.
He felt even more sad and angry.
"Then what do you want me to do?" When saying this, Liu Fuying almost bit his tongue.
With these words, she seemed like an unfaithful woman who took advantage of others and didn't want to take responsibility.
After finally getting it, he wants everything but is unwilling to give anything, and then turns around and blames the victim for being difficult and troublesome. Aren't those despicable and unfaithful people like this?
Pei Zhouwu was probably also shocked at this moment.
Looking at his stunned expression, it seemed that he did not expect her to say such an unfaithful thing.
"What do I want?"
Pei Zhouwu clenched the red hairpin in his hand tightly, as if he wanted to break it.
"You are my wife who has worshipped heaven and earth with me. What do you think I want?"
The tears in his eyes had not yet disappeared, and he was obviously angry when he said this, but because his eyes were still wet, he looked particularly aggrieved and pitiful, just like Ah Yun.
"I……"
Liu Fuying turned sideways, walked to the table and sat down.
"I've been married for a long time. I...I have a husband."
Someone with a husband.
What a husband.
Pei Zhouwu felt that he couldn't breathe. Every word she said was like a knife stabbing in his heart. She was so good at talking back then. She could say sweet words and coax him with ease. She teased him so much that he couldn't extricate himself. Why didn't she think that she was a married woman?
He was so angry that he laughed, which made Liu Fuying feel uneasy.
"In that case, then we need to look at these two husbands and see which one you love more."
Liu Fuying's eyelids twitched, not understanding what he meant.
"I've thought about it." Pei Zhouwu sat down opposite her, lowered his head and fiddled with the red hairpin in his hand, and said, "If you really loved him, you wouldn't have come to me in the first place. And if you didn't love me, you wouldn't have kept my portrait in secret."
The portrait's words made Liu Fuying even more surprised.
But soon, she understood a lot.
When she came to Yunnan, she did draw a picture of Pei Zhouwu. Besides her and Jinli, the only person who had seen that painting was Ximi, who was mischievously rummaging through things.
Now that Xi Xi is missing, it is most likely Pei Zhouwu's doing.
Xi Xi and Pei Zhou Wu had met before, and Pei Zhou Wu must have learned the secret of the portrait from Xi Xi.
"And Shen Xiunian, did he also know about our relationship? That's why he tried to prevent me from entering the Shen family that day, fearing that I would run into you. And since he knew about it, he never mentioned it in the army, and he was even able to discuss military strategies with me calmly. For a husband, he can swallow such a great humiliation, what does it mean?"
I saw his teeth clenched, and then he spoke slowly.
"It means he doesn't love you at all, so he doesn't care about you committing adultery..."
When he mentioned the word adultery, he paused.
Aren't these two words equivalent to him admitting that he is the third party between the couple and is an adulterer!
