At the dock, Li Mei reluctantly waved goodbye to the people on the boat, not knowing when she would be able to return.
After spending half a year together, Li Mei and Su Qiang treated He Ci like their own son, and they were very reluctant to see the young couple leave.
The ship will dock the day after tomorrow, and the person who will pick them up is A-Jiang. In a port city with many people and a lot of attention, the more low-key they are, the better.
He Ci had someone send Su Ning to the He family's old residence, but Su Ning refused. She was afraid to go alone without He Ci, so she eventually returned to the Rose Community where the two of them lived.
As soon as the door opened, a familiar scene came into view. Everything was exactly as she had left it. The room was spotless, indicating that someone had cleaned it.
He Ci pulled Su Ning to sit down on the sofa, his expression serious as he sat opposite her.
"Honey, there's something I've been keeping from you. Now that we're home, you'll find out sooner or later. Rather than hearing it from someone else, I'd rather tell you myself."
Su Ning was very flustered. He Ci had never looked at her with such an expression before. Could things be very serious?
"I got married a year ago, and you know the woman I married."
Boom! Su Ning felt a ringing in her ears, her mind filled with the words "she's married."
Seeing Su Ning about to cry, He Ci felt sorry for her. Although it was a fake marriage, he and Yu Ping had indeed registered their marriage.
"Wife, don't cry, let me finish."
“That time you were injured, I retaliated against the person who hurt you. That person was Yu Ping’s sister, Yu Huan. The matter escalated quite a bit. I blame myself for being young and impetuous. My parents are old, and I didn’t want them to bear the consequences for me.”
Su Ning didn't feel wronged. That incident was related to her. He Ci caused the trouble because he was trying to get revenge for her. If you think about it, she also had some responsibility.
"Brother Ci, now that you're married, why are you still bothering me? We should have broken up back then."
He Ci panicked when he heard this. Su Ning had stopped calling him "husband," which meant she was angry.
“Wife, it was wrong of me to keep this from you. From beginning to end, I have only loved you. Yu Ping is just a younger sister to me, nothing more.”
Su Ning didn't want to hear any of this. "You're already married, so what about me? What do you take me for? A mistress? Or a caged canary?"
"Wife, don't get agitated. You're not a mistress, nor a kept woman. You're my lawfully wedded wife."
“Yu Ping died on the day we got married. I owe her. She was my wife in name only, so I agreed to let her be buried in our family cemetery.”
Su Ning raised her tear-filled face. What exactly happened after she left?
He Ci briefly recounted what happened a year ago. When Su Ning learned that Yu Ping had died to save He Ci, she felt that she had been a bit unreasonable.
What is she arguing about with a dead man! Yu Ping only got the title of Mrs. He, but what she possessed was He Ci's person and heart.
He Ci only revealed his imprisonment after seeing that Su Ning had stopped crying.
"Your husband is still a convict and won't be released until the day after tomorrow, so you need to stay home and wait patiently for the next couple of days, okay?"
Su Ning was initially angry and aggrieved, but when she heard that He Ci was still a convict, she began to feel sorry for the man.
"I'm not going anywhere. I'll wait for you at home. It's only for two days, so please take good care of yourself."
He Ci breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn't as difficult as he had imagined. He had kept quiet in the village for fear that Su Ning would leave him. The little girl was someone who couldn't tolerate any injustice. He figured he could just say it here; she couldn't possibly run back crying.
