On the way back, Xiaoxiao couldn’t stop thinking about the matter. She just couldn’t understand how she, clearly still a maiden, could have been mistaken as pregnant, and what was even more baffling was that soone actually acknowledged the child.
She had to figure this out! She needed to ask Yang Ming.
That evening, both of them returned to their room. Xiaoxiao voiced out the confusion in her heart!
"Yang Ming, why did you acknowledge the child? Did I really carry your baby?"
"..." How should he answer? He hadn’t consummated their marriage with her, and she knew it! He thought she wouldn’t ask since she must have assud the child was soone else’s, but she had asked after all.
"I am clearly still a virgin, we haven’t consummated the marriage, how could I possibly have a child?"
"When everyone was saying I was pregnant, I naively believed it! I thought I carried your child! Do you think I’m a complete fool now?"
"What did you say?" She was still a maiden? The child was just a fabrication! She thought the child was his? He felt an inexplicable surge of excitent.
"What what, I’m asking you why you acknowledged the child!" She was really fed up with this blockhead.
Yang Ming thought that it would be impossible to keep this hidden, it would be better to tell the truth.
"Because my fourth brother said he wanted to marry you, everyone misunderstood, thinking that the two of you had gotten together, and that you were pregnant with his child."
Heh, that little brat, really knew how to stir up trouble! He dared to say anything!
"I’m sorry, I claid the child was mine to prevent a scandal from besmirching our family; I misunderstood you!"
Hehe, hehe, how wonderful, they can’t have a scandal? She had been wholeheartedly devoted to this family, only to end up in such a predicant, with nobody believing in her innocence, how wonderful indeed! Perhaps what hurt her more was that her own nominal husband actually thought so too.
"Yang Ming, let’s get divorced!" Xiaoxiao’s heart felt dead, she was truly hurt!
Upon hearing Xiaoxiao’s words, Yang Ming felt extre panic inside. He was terrified, feeling that his wife really was about to leave him.
As if possessed, he stepped forward and held Xiaoxiao tight in his arms, saying repeatedly, "I’m sorry, I’m sorry, let’s not divorce, let’s not divorce!"
Xiaoxiao, startled by this sudden embrace, tried to break free, but she couldn’t escape his hold.
Yang Ming was afraid that after his wife broke free, she would never pay attention to him again, so he held on with all his might to prevent her from leaving.
At that mont, Xiaoxiao broke down, feeling wronged for herself, she cried bitterly in Yang Ming’s arms until she cried herself to sleep, exhausted.
Yang Ming placed the sleeping Xiaoxiao into the bed, covered her carefully with the quilt, and sat there without sleeping, quietly watching her.
Seeing his wife cry her heart out, his own heart was in anguish, a feeling he had never experienced in his twenty years. When Xiaoxiao ntioned divorce, he was so scared, his heart pounding as he held her.
He didn’t want to lose her, he thought he might have developed feelings for his own wife. In just these few days!
The next day, Xiaoxiao woke up to find Yang Ming sitting by her side, as if he hadn’t slept all night.
"Wife, can we not divorce?"
Wife? Who? How had he suddenly changed his ways? It’s all just an act!
"I was truly wrong, I shouldn’t have distrusted you!"
"Don’t leave, okay?"
"..." Why this sudden depth of feeling? No, she wasn’t used to it!
"I’ve prepared the wash water for you!"
"..." Can you not? That’s a footbath, not for washing one’s face!
"I’ll help you wash your face!"
"..."
Xiaoxiao, unable to take it anymore, said: "Get out!"
