Episode 10 True Face
When they met on a narrow road, the most panicked person was naturally Lin Ying.
One second, she was still wearing her silk home clothes, casually walking through the living room as if she was alone, carefreely eating potato chips with her legs crossed, accepting Jiang Shu's goodbye kiss. The next second, she found that her "lover" had actually met her husband at her doorstep...
"Yiming, you're back?"
She pretended to be calm, put on a coat, and rushed to the entrance, having already played out the script in her mind.
"Um... Aunt Wu had some problems at home recently, and I asked my brother to help solve it. He sent me home today..."
By this point, she had realized that she had talked too much.
Fortunately, Jiang Shu remained calm and helped Yan Yiming pull the box in. "Come in first and talk."
Yan Yiming looked at the scene between the two of them, his face full of confusion, but he didn't seem to be smart enough to see through the truth at a glance.
After learning about Aunt Wu's past from Lin Ying, and knowing that she was kind enough to help, Jiang Shu asked for help. Today, the two of them dealt with the matter, had lunch together outside at noon, and sent their sister back by the way.
Can it be sent back? Does it need to be sent to your home?
Besides, Lin Ying has already changed into home clothes, why is he not leaving?
But according to Jiang Shu, he had no intention of leaving——
"I heard that you were coming back from a business trip tonight, and Aying planned to prepare a welcoming banquet for you. Knowing that I'm knowledgeable in cooking, he asked me to stay a little longer and asked me to teach him some dishes."
So, that night, this seemingly far-fetched scene was forcibly pulled into a scene where the three of them had dinner together... and Jiang Shu took the initiative to prepare dinner.
Yan Yiming looked at the table full of food and couldn't help but sigh in doubt:
"You can cook too?"
“When I was in the United States, I always cooked for myself.”
"Really? I didn't know that yet. How did you know, Aying?"
Lin Ying was stunned. She had only just learned about this by chance when she was staying at his villa, but it seemed like a secret to the two of them...
"Aying is my sister. Before she married you, we lived together in the old house for more than ten years."
Jiang Shu replied calmly, but the suspicion on Yan Yiming's face remained unchanged.
"Aying rarely lived at home after she went to college. During those years, I never heard that you, as her brother, did anything to help her. Why did you come here first when my nanny got into trouble?"
"Isn't that because you're on a business trip, Great Painter?"
Lin Ying knew what the two were secretly competing against each other. As a party involved, she didn't want to hide it and confessed frankly:
"My brother introduced me to someone from Tengchun Culture, and I was able to secure the exhibition venue. As the beneficiary, I treated them both to a meal afterwards. My brother has a wide network of contacts, and Aunt Wu's situation was sudden, and it involved Jianglin Group's insurance, so I thought I'd ask about it."
The meal took place when the two were still in the villa. It was originally agreed that she would treat them, but in the end it was Jiang Shu who took the initiative to pay.
"Is that so, Ah Ying, you can ask our dad for this kind of thing? We are a family, so we won't bother others in the future."
Yan Yiming is always like this. He says and says things at any time based on his mood, and doesn't care about the feelings of the people present at all - of course, he doesn't care about other people's feelings and doesn't bother to understand.
"Yan Yiming, don't forget."
Jiang Shu took over the conversation without hesitation, poured him a bowl of chicken soup, and scolded him: "Although Ah Ying and I are not related by blood, from a family perspective, I am her true family member. I was and will be her family in the future."
Yan Yiming clearly felt the weight of these words, but still refused to give in:
"You? You treat Ah Ying as a family member? How come I didn't see that? When Ah Ying was at home, I didn't see you caring about her so much. How well do you know her? Now you're giving in to this hindsight..."
"Then how much do you know?"
"She and I have been together since elementary school, so she's been with me as long as you have."
"Really? Then do you know what kind of food she likes, what kind of flowers she likes, what kind of books she likes to read, what she usually does, and what her goals are at work?"
The other party's detailed trial was very sharp. Yan Yiming was in a panic. Lin Ying even tried to kick Jiang Shu to remind him to stop talking too much, but he seemed to be unaware of it and his eyes fixed on Yan Yiming did not loosen at all.
Yan Yiming said stubbornly: "Of course I know!"
"Then answer it again..."
“That’s enough!”
Lin Ying spoke up, stopping the silent barrage.
"Are you trying to please me? Does it matter what I like or dislike? Stop talking and just eat."
But before going to bed that night, Lin Ying was still met with her husband's endless suspicion.
Yan Yiming took a shower and came out of the bathroom wrapped in a bathrobe. He was about to go straight to bed, but he saw the inconspicuous but inexplicably abrupt wedding ring lying on his bedside table - Lin Ying's wedding ring.
He picked it up and asked, "Why is your ring here?"
Lin Ying was leaning on the bed reading a book and pretended to be surprised: "Oh, I changed the sheets today. It was inconvenient to work with the ring on, so I took it off."
Then, she naturally took the ring handed to her by her husband and put it back on the ring finger of her left hand.
"Why did you change the sheets?"
Lin Ying continued flipping through the book, her expression unchanged, not even looking at him. "Every time you come back, I always ask Aunt Wu to change the sheets. Since she's not here today, I have to do it myself."
By the way, changing the topic——
"Speaking of which, Aunt Wu has to take care of her grandson lately, so she can't stay home every day. I might be transferred to another job soon, so if I can't get off work on time, you can make something for yourself or go home and eat with Mom and Dad."
"Job transfer?"
"Remember what I said before? I'm trying to get a business position in the company? It's almost vacant, and I'll be able to officially take over in two weeks. It will be very busy at first, so please bear with me if there are any areas where I can't take care of you."
Yan Yiming's face was a little gloomy, an expression Lin Ying hadn't seen in a long time. But she didn't rush over to explain and comfort him as she did before. Just as she was about to continue reading and put the matter behind her, he came to her and asked condescendingly:
"Could this position also be arranged by Jiang Shu?"
"No, I fought for it myself, because the venue last time..."
"But isn't that venue the connection Jiang Shu introduced you to?"
"So what? I'm his sister, isn't it natural for him to help me?"
Lin Ying put the book down, stood up, and faced his condescending gaze.
"Why are you so excited? I didn't say anything wrong."
Yan Yiming took off his bath towel as he spoke, revealing his entire body, which interrupted her thoughts...
"I just saw him coming to our house today and making sarcastic remarks, and I felt a little annoyed. Now that I think about it, you've been complaining about him before, saying you couldn't stand him. Why are you rushing to beg him for something so trivial now that we're married?"
Lin Ying deliberately turned away her eyes from his body and explained quietly:
"I'm not pushing it. I deserve all of this. He owes his success to my dad's cultivation, so I think it's only natural for him to help me with anything."
"Oh, really? You should do whatever you want?"
Yan Yiming repeated this sentence solemnly, his tone particularly subtle. Before Lin Ying could react, he grabbed the back of her head. His usual gentleness was gone, and he dragged her off the bed by her hair. His knees slammed against the cold marble floor, knocking her unconscious and completely unable to fight back...
"I'm your husband, so I think you should do whatever you want for me, right?"
Looking at his increasingly ferocious face, Lin Ying couldn't help but recall the moment two months ago when he slapped her in the face for something ridiculous...
And at this moment, he was obviously more arrogant and unreasonable than that time.
The stinging pain in her knees made her compromise and she had to do as he wished.
But he rushed forward without any scruples and vented his anger, causing Lin Ying to burst into tears and choke in the throat. The sobbed word "no" melted in her mouth along with the saliva.
He is different this time.
He was angry, and he wouldn't settle for just this.
Lin Ying resisted with both her body and words, but the other party ignored her, looking furious, and her actions were so rough that it was almost like she was forcing him...
"No! It hurts!"
"Didn't you want it very much before? I'm giving it to you now, why are you being so pretentious?"
She was tortured to the point of tears streaming down her face. Her entire body no longer belonged to her. She was forced to accept certain signals: caresses without any mercy, slaps filled with emotion, and strangulations on her neck. She was on the verge of suffocation several times...
She thought, I won’t die at this moment, right?
It's really your own fault.
"Listen, Lin Ying! You're my wife! You have to do whatever I tell you to do! You are not allowed to bring other men home from now on, no one!"
This was the first time Lin Ying saw the other person's ferocious appearance.
He was completely different from the person she remembered.
She had always thought that Yan Yiming was a bit of a fool and was gentle to others. But today she realized that she knew too little about her husband.
He is sensitive and can clearly notice a lot.
For example, as soon as he came back, he noticed the subtleties between her and Jiang Shu, and the tension between them during dinner, which was proof that he was testing them.
Jiang Shu's rebuttal and questioning obviously made him embarrassed. He had no way to argue who was better, so he could only take out his anger on himself, using the so-called "you are my wife" and "you have to do whatever I tell you to do" to bind her value and prove his subjectivity and sense of existence.
The almost predatory sex made Lin Ying resist with every nerve in her body, resulting in it ending in vain.
When Yan Yiming reluctantly left the track, Lin Ying almost immediately stood up, hurriedly picked up her pajamas and phone, left the bedroom, hid in the second bedroom, and locked the door...
She didn't explain, and Yan Yiming didn't try to keep her.
While taking a shower, Lin Ying noticed the large purple bruises on her knees, and the bright red fingerprints and kiss marks on the side of her neck were even more shocking. She didn't feel romantic at all, but only felt ashamed.
I also feel that this shame is what I deserve.
She deserves it.
But when I was lying in bed, I suddenly realized a sad fact——
Since Yan Yiming is so sensitive, why can't he realize that I once silently and helplessly endured in front of him?
Maybe he noticed it, but he just didn't want to ask, let alone face it.
A problem can only be called a problem if it is raised, otherwise it is just "everything is fine".
