Those peach blossom eyes were now filled with unease and panic!
Xie Muqing was immediately at a loss.
Her body was trembling slightly.
His lips moved, but no sound came out.
It felt as if an invisible hand was constantly gripping his throat.
It took him a while to find his voice.
The voice was as hoarse as a broken gong.
"My wife...please let me explain..."
Lin Yan chuckled softly.
He spread the letter he was holding out on the table.
Xie Muqing's pupils suddenly contracted!
For a moment, he seemed frozen in place, unable to move an inch.
The letter contained several paragraphs:
'This woman may be foolish, but she's quite capable. I need her help... After it's done, I'll divorce her myself...'
"Explain what? You didn't write this letter?"
"I……"
Faced with Lin Yan's sharp questioning, Xie Muqing was completely unable to defend himself and stammered for a long time without being able to utter a single word.
Seeing her get up to leave, a strong sense of panic flashed through his heart, and he grabbed her hands tightly without saying a word.
Lin Yan shook her head sarcastically.
She suddenly felt ridiculous.
I always thought that Xie Muqing marrying into her family was done by Xie's enemies to humiliate him.
Little did he know that he had designed all of this himself.
He valued her abilities and exploited her guilt to make her feel secure enough to work for him.
She had always felt guilty towards him and had done everything she could to help his family.
Furthermore, because of her marriage into the family, Madam Xie had always harbored resentment towards her.
Although she didn't care about Mrs. Xie's opinion.
However, she was very unhappy about being unfairly blamed for this!
Although at first, Lin Yan really didn't have any feelings for Xie Muqing.
But after spending these days together, she has completely come to regard him as her closest partner.
These letters, however, were a blatant slap in the face to her!
It seemed to be mocking her wishful thinking.
Lin Yan never expected this.
Her warning that day came true so quickly...
She expressionlessly pried Xie Muqing's fingers apart one by one.
“I didn’t know that Prince Xie had been harboring such thoughts all along. Well, Prince Xie is of noble birth, and we country girls are not worthy of him. We don’t need to wait until later to get a divorce; we can go to the government office to sign the divorce papers tomorrow.”
She already possessed a cool and aloof appearance, and now, with her beautiful face radiating coldness, she resembled a snow lotus on a snow-capped mountain, inspiring awe and making her seem unapproachable.
Just as Lin Yan brushed past him.
Xie Muqing suddenly pulled her into his arms, his movements forceful enough to immobilize her, and he explained to her incoherently:
“My wife, these were indeed written by me before, and at that time I did intend to use you. But in the days we've spent together, I've become irrevocably attracted to you. My wife, I don't ask for your forgiveness, but please don't divorce me, okay…”
He clearly underestimated the strength of the person in his arms.
A powerful force struck him, and though his arms were empty, he was suddenly pushed to the ground.
He stared blankly at the figure walking towards the door.
Lin Yan's mind was in complete turmoil.
She didn't want to see Xie Muqing's face at all right now.
When she pushed open the bedroom door, all she saw was red.
Looking at the bright red double happiness paper-cuts on the doors and windows, Lin Yan felt utterly ironic.
Xie Muqing's presence was everywhere in this room.
She didn't want to stay a second longer!
She hurriedly packed her bedding and belongings.
Xie Muqing, who rushed over, knew he had no face to stop them.
They could only watch helplessly as Lin Yan moved the things to the side room.
With the door to the side room closed, Xie Muqing's view was also cut off...
He returned to his bedroom, dejected and disoriented.
The kang (heated brick bed) inside the house was heated all along, so the temperature wasn't low.
But at that moment, he felt as if he were in an ice cellar, shivering all over...
No one had ever lived in the side room, so the kang (heated brick bed) was always cold.
Lin Yan was too lazy to heat the kang (a traditional heated bed).
Only in such a cold environment could she force herself to calm down.
Think carefully about her relationship with Xie Muqing.
Lin Yan is not a heartless person.
My earlier talk about divorce was just a fit of anger.
These days...
How could she not see the affection that occasionally flickered in Xie Muqing's eyes...
But whenever she thought that what she believed to be fate was nothing more than his manipulation and conspiracy, she felt a deep sadness.
I just can't get over that hurdle in my heart.
Once the seed of doubt is planted...
Mutual trust will collapse immediately!
Lin Yan is now even starting to have doubts.
These days, is the affection in Xie Muqing's eyes genuine or just an act?
Just a wall away.
At this moment, Xie Muqing was filled with remorse.
He lay alone on the spacious kang (a heated brick bed), staring blankly at the ceiling, a single tear sliding down his cheek...
I couldn't sleep all night...
The next day.
Apart from the children, everyone else noticed the unusual relationship between Lin Yan and Xie Muqing.
He was perfectly fine before going to bed last night.
They couldn't help but start to have wild thoughts.
After breakfast.
Ye Lan pulled Lin Yan to a secluded spot and quietly asked:
"Daughter, what's wrong between you and your son-in-law?"
Lin Yan sighed softly.
"Mother, we're alright, don't worry."
