Chapter 25 Chapter 25 Meimei, you are really cruel...
"We won't have any more children."
"I don't want this child myself."
Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, half-heartedly thinking he had misheard. He even smiled helplessly, "Miss, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Zhe Rou's face was pale, she pursed her lips and looked at him quietly.
Before Lu Chen could come to his senses, he suddenly saw the medicine bottle on the bed that had not been put away. As if he thought of something, his face turned pale and gray in an instant. He suddenly looked back at Zhe Rou, his eyes full of shock.
Zhe Rou looked at him quietly and said softly, "You gave me this medicine."
After hearing what she said, Lu Chen felt dizzy. He couldn't tell whether it was anger or pain. The boiling emotions instantly rushed to his brain, and it seemed as if something suddenly exploded in his chest.
After being frozen for a long while, he reached out and grasped Zhe Rou's shoulders. He raised his head very slowly, his eyes bloodshot. "Why?"
"Lu Bingyan," Zhe Rou looked up at him and said calmly, "Let's get a divorce."
"Why?" For the first time since they met, Lu Chen lost his composure in front of her. His iron-like fingers tightly grasped her thin shoulders, the corners of his eyes bloodshot. He gritted his teeth and asked word by word, "Miss, tell me, why?!"
She had to admit that when she saw Lu Chen's reaction when he was driven crazy by her, Zhe Rou suddenly felt a faint sense of pleasure of revenge deep in her heart.
But this little bit of pleasure was only fleeting. The next moment, overwhelming sadness and pain, like a surging tide, roared to completely drown the tiny her.
Injuring eight hundred enemies and losing a thousand of our own was like destroying both ourselves and ourselves.
Her lips trembled, and mist gradually gathered in her eyes. She tried her best to keep her voice steady: "Lu Bingyan, you have your own Yangguan Road to walk, and I have my own single-plank bridge to cross. We are not on the same path, so it is better to let go as soon as possible."
Lu Chen closed his eyes, his breathing trembling uncontrollably.
They were together these days, and a smile gradually appeared on her face. He thought he had coaxed her into softening her heart, and with a little more time, everything would be the same as before. However, he never expected that she would be so determined and turn against him in such a cruel way.
He felt a sharp pain in his heart, and for a moment he couldn't even keep his balance. He swayed and asked in a hoarse voice, "Why? Because of the Xu family girl?"
Before Zhe Rou could reply, Lu Chen gritted his teeth and said, "I've already told you that I'm only perfunctory towards her, not even a hint of affection!"
"Will I not be jealous or sad just like this?" Zhe Rou looked at Lu Chen's blurred outline through her tears. "Lu Bingyan, it's not like I haven't thought about living a good life with you...but what about you? Where are you tonight?"
Lu Chen fell silent and didn't say anything for a long time.
Seeing Lu Chen's reaction, Zhe Rou smiled faintly, and gently stroked his collarbone with her slender fingertips. She raised her head and stared straight at him, "Who did you take the bullet for and get injured here?"
Lu Chen froze for a moment, frowning and asking, "How do you know?"
Zhe Rou pursed her lips and stopped talking.
Lu Chen suddenly grabbed her wrist, stared at her, gritted his teeth and said angrily, "Then do you know why I took the bullet for her? It's because I planned this from beginning to end. Among the elite imperial guards under my command, there has never been a useless person like Lang Jiang, who could let the weapon fly out of his hand?
From the beginning to the end, I was just trying to trick her into shutting up as soon as possible so that I wouldn't have to get entangled with her! If this was really just an accident, what does it have to do with me whether the Xu family's daughter lives or dies? I just wish I could wipe out the Xu family completely! "
As he finished speaking, Lu Chen felt a dull pain piercing his heart, countless aches and pains drilling out from the cracks in his bones. Moisture welled up in the corners of his eyes. "Qiaoqiao, are you stupid? Just for something like this, you've abused your own body like this and even used our child to get back at me, huh?"
"Isn't this enough?" Zhe Rou couldn't help but retort, "Lu Bingyan, people's hearts are fickle, I can't afford to gamble."
Taking a deep breath, she continued, "I've never thought of using the child to take revenge on you. I just don't want to have anything to do with you anymore. From now on, you and I will go our separate ways. If you don't want to reconcile, you can divorce me."
Lu Chen felt a sharp pain in his heart, his Adam's apple rolled over, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I won't agree!"
"You and I have different desires, so why torture each other?" Zhe Rou's eyes swept across the wound under his collarbone, and her heart ached again. She said softly, "This scar will not only remain on your body in the future, but also in my heart. You know my temper, I can't stand it."
After staring at her for a moment, Lu Chen suddenly stood up, walked to the table, opened the drawer, took out a dagger, turned around and went back to the couch.
It flickered slightly under the candlelight, and a cold light was reflected on the sharp blade.
Before Zhe Rou could react to what he was about to do, Lu Chen grasped the dagger in one hand, tore open his clothes with the other, and stabbed fiercely at the wound under his left shoulder without hesitation.
"Lu Chen, you're crazy!"
Zhe Rou was horrified and instinctively wanted to push him away, but she couldn't muster any strength and watched him stab her.
The dagger was extremely sharp and penetrated the flesh in an instant, cutting open the wound that was about to heal, leaving a new and even more hideous wound. Warm blood gushed out instantly, staining a large area of the clothes red.
Lu Chen gritted his teeth, cold sweat covering his forehead, his face gradually turning pale. He said word by word, "If you can't bear it, I'll compensate you. Don't even think about the divorce."
Looking at the glaring crimson blood, Zhe Rou's head was buzzing and she felt dizzy from time to time. She had never thought that one day, things between the two of them would get to this point.
As if he had thought of something, Lu Chen's eyes were red and wet, but he raised the corners of his lips and smiled self-deprecatingly, his tone hinting at hurt. "Today is my birthday, and it's also the anniversary of my child's death. Meimei, you are truly cruel."
After saying that, he just looked at Zhe Rou deeply, turned around and walked out.
The room became quiet and empty. The night wind blew the soft bedside curtains.
Zhe Rou was already exhausted. The breath she had been holding on to lost its strength and she couldn't help but curl up.
It was not known how long had passed, but it seemed that Xiaochan came in to wipe her body and change her clothes. Zhe Rou just let her do what she wanted in a daze, and was fed two large bowls of bitter medicine. Finally, she fell asleep in exhaustion.
In a daze, she had a dream. In the dream, she and Lu Chen were still in Taozhou, with a well, a vegetable patch, bluestone slabs, and a simple courtyard.
In midsummer of May, the rain from the eaves was as heavy as a rope, gurgling all the way to dusk, and rolling down to the ground like pearls and broken jade.
The two of them snuggled under the eaves of the blue brick and stone tile corridor, listening to the sound of rain in the yard. Lu Chen found a piece of wood from somewhere and said he wanted to make a tile dog for the child to play with.
While he was carving wood, he boasted to her proudly that their child would be smart and handsome. If it was a boy, he would be named Minlang, and if it was a girl, she would be named Minniang.
She was so embarrassed that her face turned red, but he was still malicious and kept pestering her, asking her if she was okay.
Until finally, when the clay dog was finished, she finally smiled, leaned in his arms, and whispered in a voice he couldn't hear, "Okay."
--OK.
At that time, I thought it was normal.
