Chapter 476: Marriage is a Penance 2 If you can accept it, I will...
Yao Taotao said nothing, just let go of him and pushed the divorce agreement in front of him.
Chao Risheng sat on the ground motionless, just staring at the woman blankly.
He was deceived, deceived, deceived...
It was like there was a phonograph in my mind, playing these words over and over again.
It turns out that being cheated feels so painful, and it turns out that he is so cruel. He made the woman he loved struggle with the humiliation of being cheated for nearly four months.
But this woman was too kind. She only lied to him for one night before telling him the truth.
Perhaps it's because I've been hurt before that I know how painful and humiliating this feeling is.
She is so kind.
He doesn't deserve her!
At this moment, he deeply realized his own shortness and meanness, and also realized the greatness and integrity of this woman.
She just wanted to vent her anger legitimately and give him a chance.
But in order to make her surrender, he stubbornly fought against her for nearly four months.
Who does he think he is?
He is nothing!
His tears flowed uncontrollably. He had a thousand words in his heart, but he couldn't say a single word.
In the end, he could only turn around silently and hand the divorce agreement to Yao Taotao: "I don't deserve it. The choice is yours."
"Chao Risheng, if you want to continue living with me, fine, but I have a condition." Yao Taotao took the divorce agreement and looked at him with raised eyebrows.
Chao Risheng was completely conquered by this woman. He hugged her knees, buried his face in her legs, wiped away his tears, and said as calmly as possible: "Go ahead."
"I know you are a talented person with a proud and arrogant heart. In fact, you are not very willing to be humble in front of me. But I also told you early on that I, Yao Taotao, am not a person who follows orders, and no one can control my life. It was you who did not listen to my advice and insisted on being with me. Maybe what you thought at the beginning was that as time went on, either the east wind would prevail over the west wind, or the west wind would blow down the east wind. Right?" Although Yao Taotao used question words, her tone was firm and final.
Chao Risheng stared at her in a daze, unable to utter a word of rebuttal, and could only remain silent.
Yao Taotao continued, "Let me reiterate today: I don't like others ordering me around, and I don't like others controlling my life. I decided to keep this child simply because I still have feelings for you, but that doesn't affect my dislike for you. This is my last chance. From now on, if you do it again, there will be no possibility between us. If you can accept this, I'll tear up the divorce agreement."
Chao Risheng immediately stood up and put his arms around the woman's waist. Although he was taller than her and she was sitting, at this moment, he was the shorter one.
He hugged the woman tightly and kissed her passionately, forgetting everything else.
Fortunately, the children all went to school and would not witness their uncle's irrational side.
Yao Ruzhen, who was preparing to go to work, immediately called the maid out, closed the door, and left the space to the two struggling couples.
But even if there was no one in the living room, it would not be appropriate, so Chao Risheng still carried Yao Taotao to the guest room upstairs.
It's been four months, is that okay? But he still asked her carefully, and after getting her approval, he closed the curtains and regained the long-lost warmth and tenderness.
After a few strokes, fearing that he might hurt the child, he obediently lay down on his own initiative. At the moment when he gave up the initiative, he actually didn't feel uncomfortable at all. He just had to close his eyes and concentrate on enjoying it.
Afterwards, he carefully helped her clean up and put on her clothes, then asked, "Are you still going to film today?"
"I don't have any scenes this morning." Yao Taotao had figured it out. She sat at the head of the bed, looked at Chao Risheng who had opened the curtains, and asked, "How long have you been here?"
"I..." Chao Risheng paused for a moment.
Yao Taotao gave him a warning look, and he told the truth.
Yao Taotao calmly accepted the truth. There was nothing shameful about her man paving the way for her.
She pointed to the comb in front of the dressing mirror, and when Chao Risheng handed it to her, she combed her messy hair one by one, and finally said, "After the filming is finished, please treat Pu Yongkang to a meal. I will go too."
This statement showed that she knew everything. Chao Risheng was also a smart man, so he could naturally tell that she had accepted his unauthorized arrangements.
He breathed a sigh of relief, sat down in front of the bed, took the comb, and helped her comb her hair: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Yao Taotao, always gentle and kind-hearted, still warned, "The company might use me and other male actors to create scandals. If you mind, tell Pu Yongkang as soon as possible."
Chao Risheng wanted to act magnanimous and said that he would just hype it up.
After much thought, he decided to face his own petty temper and replied, "Okay, I'll tell him."
"I still have two kissing scenes." Yao Taotao didn't intend to hide it from him and reminded him again, "If you mind, call Pu Yongkang now and tell him to use a body double, or let me and the male actor shoot a dislocated kissing scene. We won't really kiss."
"Okay." Chao Risheng was completely relieved. She was willing to tell him this. Did that mean she really forgave him?
He helped her tie her ponytail, put down the comb, sat on the edge of the bed, and rested his chin on her shoulder: "Have you ever filmed a kissing scene before?"
"Well, we filmed three scenes. It was the same person. If you mind, I won't act with him anymore." Yao Taotao didn't intend to lie to him. Since she decided to continue with him, she would be honest. She was not the kind of person who would hide things.
Chao Risheng did mind it a bit, and he asked sourly, "Did he... stick out his tongue?"
Yao Taotao didn't move, letting him gnaw jealously everywhere: "No, just a little, just for show."
"You still have me in your heart." Chao Risheng paused for a moment, looking into her eyes for confirmation. He suddenly felt a little anxious. During the time when he had driven his wife away, she had kissed another man. Even if she still had him in her heart, that was still a threat.
He had to find some proof, some proof that she would not abandon him.
But this question was too childish. Yao Taotao didn't want to answer it, so she asked, "What else?"
Chao Risheng breathed a sigh of relief, but still felt uneasy. He pressed on, "If I hadn't mentioned it just now, would you have wanted me?"
Yao Taotao grabbed his hand and reached out for the answer he longed for.
He finally felt at ease, and the kiss turned into a passionate fire that engulfed the small guest room.
This was the long-awaited intimacy after the conflict. A short separation was better than a new marriage, so he cherished it especially.
But compared to the surprise of regaining what he had lost, he would rather not lose it again.
Afterwards, he carefully stroked her belly and asked, "Have you thought of a name for the baby?"
"No."
"Then let's think about it together."
"good."

Yao Taotao's play was quickly completed, and she turned down the next role, saying that she wanted to find an acting teacher to study seriously for a while.
Pu Yongkang knew what was going on, so he agreed to help her keep an eye out for next year's script.
At the dinner, the couple toasted him together and had a great time chatting with him.
As for Chao Risheng's script, it is also being prepared intensively and is expected to be submitted early next year.
The end of the year is approaching quickly, and Yao Taotao's drama has entered the final editing stage and is expected to be released during the Spring Festival.
At this time, her belly was already bulging, and the due date was still three months away.
It was not appropriate for her to live in Yao Ruzhen's house anymore. After all, she was not divorced and had nowhere to go, so she moved to Chao Risheng's residence.
Yao Yingying felt embarrassed to stay alone in Yao Ruzhen's house, so she moved out with Zhang Caini and the children.
Yao Ruzhen did not try to persuade them to stay, but as a result, the huge villa was instantly half empty. When the children came back, they couldn't help but sigh that the lively atmosphere was gone.
Fortunately, the children are very adaptable and they arranged the empty guest rooms in just a few days.
There's a painting studio, a piano room, a craft room, a dance room, a game room for classmates to play, and a secret garden for one's own...
In short, the entire second and third floors became a paradise for the two children.
Later, Qi Lingyue had a classmate who loved playing with dolls. The next day, she filled the empty room in the corner with all kinds of dolls, big and small, cute, funny, ugly and cute...
Later, Qi Minxing had a classmate who loved stargazing. The next day, Qi Minxing set his sights on the attic on the third floor and began to build a "stargazing platform" that was not very professional but sincere enough...
In short, Yao Ruzhen and Qi Changxiao are a pair of wealthy and open-minded parents. As long as their children are happy, they can spend money without blinking an eye, as generous as two human-shaped self-propelled ATMs.
On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, the family of four received a call from Yao Taotao, inviting them to watch the martial arts film that would premiere tonight.
As soon as the phone call ended, Chao Risheng called again: "You and your family should all come to my place for dinner. I customized a six-layer cake to celebrate the premiere of your second sister's first TV series. I also invited a few local screenwriters and producers, and I'd like to introduce them to you two. You must come."
Is there such a good thing? Yao Ruzhen did not refuse and happily accepted it.
The family of four quickly changed into hand-made high-end dresses and went to support Yao Taotao as her family members.
When he arrived at the place, Yao Ruzhen found that his third brother and his family had also been invited.
The lawn in the villa yard was full of guests, so Yao Ruzhen naturally wouldn't pay attention to a few single men.
It was not until she went upstairs and met Yao Taotao that she realized that they were not only there to celebrate with her, but also wanted to introduce Yao Yingying and Zhang Caini to each other.
Yao Ruzhen was curious: "Was it your idea?"
"No, it's Chao Risheng's. Maybe he wants to make it up to me? Maybe he thinks it's inconvenient for my eldest sister and her family to live here. Anyway, he found a few men with decent conditions." Yao Taotao stood at the second-floor window, pointing at a blond mixed-race man by the swimming pool. "That's the son of the Huang family. You should know him. Didn't his wife run away with a wealthy Belgian businessman? There's no one to take care of the children, so he wants to find a good wife and mother. I don't think he is very promising, but the Huang family promised that as long as my eldest sister is willing, a house will be transferred to her name immediately after the marriage. I suspect they want to use my eldest sister's marriage to bind us to the family."
These families naturally refer to the families of three people with the surname Yao: Yao Ruzhen, Yao Weihua, and Yao Taotao.
This was a shrewd plan. After all, the Huang family's daughter-in-law ran away. Even if it was a scandal in the wealthy circle, families with slightly better conditions would not marry their daughters to her and make a fool of themselves.
The Huang family doesn't like the poor-looking woman, so it's better to choose a woman who can bring hidden benefits.
Yao Yingying is the most suitable choice.
She is Yao Taotao's biological sister, and Yao Taotao is Yao Ruzhen's second sister. Yao Ruzhen and Yao Weihua are siblings.
And Yao Taotao's lover is the famous mainland writer Chao Tianque, so the Huang family has not lost out no matter how you look at it.
Even though Yao Yingying is not well educated and is a second-married woman with two daughters, the Huang family is willing to show full sincerity.
Yao Ruzhen glanced at the mixed-race boy and said with a smile, "You can try contacting him."
While they were chatting, Chao Risheng came upstairs and called them out. The TV series was about to be broadcast. Chao Risheng was very much looking forward to seeing his wife's debut work, so he specially pulled electrical wires in the yard and placed several televisions so that the guests could enjoy it together.
Yao Ruzhen quickly moved out of the way to avoid becoming a third wheel for the couple.
When he got downstairs, a group of bigwigs in the core circle were greeting each other, and Yao Ruzhen seemed to see a familiar figure in a trance.
Unfortunately, the waiters who were invited to help were carrying drinks and weaving in and out of the crowd, quickly blocking her view, so she had to give up.
She accepted a glass of champagne, and the TV series was just about to start airing.
As the soul-stirring theme song sounded, many people put down their glasses and looked at the nearest TV.
Soon, a barely perceptible trace of jealousy flashed across Chao Risheng's face.
Who was the bastard who edited the film? Why did he include the scene of his wife kissing someone else in the opening song?
He was so jealous that he felt uncomfortable all over. When the social event was over and the guests left, he immediately acted like a betrayed husband and asked his wife to comfort him.
Yao Taotao didn't care about his unreasonable behavior. No matter what, she did kiss another man, even if it was just a touch, which made it easier for the director to find an angle, an angle that looked romantic.
It was precisely because of this angle that Chao Risheng fell into unprecedented jealousy, and he had to comfort her no matter what.
This consolation almost exhausted Yao Taotao to death.
When she finished this unexpected hard work, she couldn't help but sigh that marriage is indeed a hard practice, and it is not good for a man to be too clingy.
Fortunately, she was pregnant. If she wasn't, he would probably make a fuss all night.
The New Year is coming soon, and Yao Taotao and Chao Risheng go to pay New Year's greetings to Pu Yongkang.
When I got there, I found that Yao Ruzhen was also there, and standing in front of Yao Ruzhen was an old acquaintance.
Looking at his rosy face, he seems to be living a good life.
