Wei Mingshen truthfully said, "She heard that you also had someone you liked and were determined to divorce me. You were forced to marry me by your parents, so she felt relieved and promised to wait for me to get a divorce and not bother me again in the meantime."
Su Xueli rolled her eyes at Wei Mingshen, "Actually, you really don't need to make your sweetheart suffer like this. You can see her every day. As for me, I'm focused on making money right now, so I can stay away from my sweetheart and not cheat on you. Are you relieved now?"
Wei Mingshen said firmly, "No, I have my principles. This is settled, and don't mention it again."
Su Xueli feigned indifference and said, "Alright then, whatever you say goes."
The two fell silent.
Wei Mingshen was cutting thatch with his head down when he suddenly looked up at Su Xueli and asked, "Can I ask you something?"
Su Xueli twirled her fingers and said casually, "Go ahead and ask."
Wei Mingshen asked, "What kind of person are you exactly?"
Su Xueli asked, "What do you mean?"
“I understand you less and less. You say you’re cold-blooded, but I’ve seen with my own eyes how filial you are to my parents, and how considerate you are to them than I am, their son. You also treat your neighbors and my second aunt very well; you seem like a warm and kind person.”
However, you treat romantic relationships like a completely different person. You're frighteningly calm, sometimes belittling love to the point of worthlessness, as if you were hurt by love in a past life..."
"Pfft!" The half-finished Sun Wukong figure that Su Xueli was making fell to the ground.
Wei Mingshen reached out and picked it up for her, touching her hand and saying, "I thought your hands were cold and you couldn't hold it properly. Aren't your hands cold?"
Su Xueli concealed her panic and said, "I didn't hold it properly, I didn't hold it properly."
Wei Mingshen, being a straight man, didn't look at her expression and continued, "I feel like you're hot and cold towards me. We didn't know each other before we got married, and we didn't have any conflicts."
Besides, even though neither of us likes the other, and we're both determined to get a divorce, I've been really good to you. Why do I feel like I can't warm your heart? Is your heart made of ice?
Su Xueli suppressed a sigh and said coldly, "I value family and friendship, but I don't believe in love. I think love is the most poisonous drug. If you want to live comfortably, stay away from men."
Wei Mingshen didn't believe it. "If you don't believe in love, how come that teacher appeared? You're contradicting yourself."
Su Xueli couldn't hide it any longer and stared at him, saying, "Actually, I have no romantic relationship with that teacher at all. He is my nephew's teacher. My brother and sister-in-law don't have time to take care of my nephew's studies, and my parents are illiterate, so I took care of him. That's how I met him."
Then she proudly said, "Oh, of course. I heard he had a crush on me, but I didn't give him a chance, so he gave up."
"So on your wedding night you said you also had someone in your heart?" Wei Mingshen's brows furrowed into a knot.
Su Xueli said slowly and deliberately, "That was just something I said in the heat of the moment, it just slipped out."
Wei Mingshen stared straight at her, and after a long while, asked, "Which of your statements is true?"
Su Xueli played along with him, saying, "When falsehood is taken for truth, truth becomes falsehood; when truth is taken for reality, truth becomes falsehood; when nothingness is taken for something, existence becomes nothingness."
