Chapter 268 Fulfilling Marital Obligations
"I also want to ask you this: didn't we agree yesterday to get a divorce today? Why did you do that to me last night? And why were you so cruel to me? Do you know how much pain I was in?"
Thinking about the violent treatment he had given her yesterday, Fu Yanzun did feel a little guilty. After all, it wasn't her fault; he was just unaware of the situation, which led to his misunderstanding.
"Weren't we a legally married couple yesterday? Shouldn't we fulfill our marital obligations?"
"Even if we're fulfilling our marital obligations, you can't treat me like this. Do you know how much pain I'm in?"
"Do you think I'm not in pain? Do you think only women feel pain in those situations? Men feel pain too. I misunderstood... I thought you and Jian Fei had rekindled your old flame, so you acted that way in a fit of anger."
Tang Wan'er laughed in anger at his words. "I'd have to be out of my mind to rekindle a relationship with that kind of scumbag. Besides, I never had any feelings for him to begin with. My family forced me to be with him. I never even considered marrying him. We've never actually gone on dates; we've only had a few meals together. Every time we finished eating, I ran away."
How could you possibly think I've rekindled my old flame with him?
Since An Ran and Tang Wan'er were friends, Fu Yanzun decided not to gossip about them behind their backs.
He was unaware of everything that had happened between the two of them, nor did he know that the shameless friend Tang Wan'er mentioned was actually An Ran.
Perhaps because he knew he was in the wrong, Fu Yanzun suddenly lost interest, fearing that Tang Wan'er would continue to press him, which would make him seem petty.
"It's nothing, aren't you sleepy? Go to sleep!"
After saying that, Fu Yanzun put one arm around Tang Wan'er's shoulder and took the other hand off her waist, then turned over and lay flat on his back.
Only in this way could he prevent himself from overthinking; otherwise, he was afraid he would have to take a cold shower again soon.
Tang Wan'er turned around and looked at Fu Yanzun, whose eyes were closed.
Not long after, I heard even breathing beside me; he seemed to have fallen asleep.
Tang Wan'er felt a strange urge to laugh. She hadn't expected that the uncle, who usually seemed so aloof, would actually be so easily jealous.
No wonder he told her to keep her distance from other men; he was probably referring to Jian Fei!
Thinking
When she realized that the older man was angry because he was jealous, she didn't feel angry at all; instead, she found him quite cute.
Tang Wan'er's lips curled up slightly, and then she quickly drifted into a dream.
The night was pitch black; you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.
The wind outside the window blew up the curtains that were originally drawn.
The little girl, who was lying in her crib, suddenly woke up.
I could faintly hear footsteps outside.
"Thump...thump...thump..."
That was the sound of leather shoes stepping on the corridor floor.
The footsteps grew closer to the room, and the little girl huddled up, her mind involuntarily conjuring up ghost stories from horror movies.
The door to the room was suddenly opened with a click.
The little girl was so frightened that she didn't dare to breathe and pulled the blanket high over her head.
The footsteps suddenly stopped on the large bed next to them.
Driven by curiosity, even though I was terrified, I still lifted the blanket a crack and looked over there.
[Aside: The story at the end isn't unrelated to the main story; it's a memory from Tang Wan'er's childhood. The exciting part will be revealed in the next chapter.]
