Chapter 456: Chapter 316: Sincerity for My Heart_2
No matter how much she fought or competed, it was useless when his heart was not with her. It only deepened her wounds.
If she had known this, why did she marry Huang Xinlong? Having to face that hideously ugly man every day, just thinking about it made her feel desperate.
She got up and staggered outside.
“Ah!” As Ye iru’s figure disappeared, Jing Zhe couldn’t help but sigh, “She actually dared to marry soone like Huang Xinlong, she’s really confident.”
“Is that man ill-tempered?” Chuxia asked curiously.
“There are several versions of how Huang Xinlong was disfigured, but the consistent statent from the Huang Family is that he was arranging boiling water when Huang Suye ran in, kicked over the thermos, and he, being on a stool, panicked and toppled into the pot.
The version most people find credible is that while the elders were not at ho, Huang Xinlong boiled a pot of water, intending to throw his sister in it. Just as he was lifting her into the pot from the stool, Grandpa Huang and Grandma Huang arrived. In his panic, he himself fell into the pot.”
Chuxia swallowed hard: “Huang Suye is his biological sister, right?”
Jing Zhe nodded: “Yes, the Huang Family has only one girl, Huang Suye, and because of that Grandpa Huang and Grandma Huang doted on her more. Any rare toys would first be given to the granddaughter and then to the grandson, so as a child, Huang Xinlong held a deep hatred for his sister, Huang Suye.”
“That’s pretty twisted.”
“Yeah, Huang Xinlong, after being scarred, beca even more peculiar. He hardly spoke in front of others, but if anyone provoked him, he would take revenge, doubling down.
He has a severe scar constitution; as he aged, the scars on his face not only didn’t diminish but got worse.
No girl from a similar social standing wanted to marry him, but he stubbornly insisted on marrying a girl from a similar background.
Although Ye iru has a bad reputation…” Jing Zhe glanced at Zhou Mikang’s expression and continued, “but the wealth of the Ye Family is there. It’s because of Ye iru’s unique experiences that he could never marry a wife with such a background. Also…” he hesitated, then continued, “it’s said that Huang Xinlong’s burns are very severe, and he wanted to marry just a wife in na, so Ye iru’s past shouldn’t be too much of an issue.”
However, his control and possessiveness are extrely strong. I believe Ye iru’s life from now on will definitely be difficult.
The current Huang Xinlong is only accommodating her on everything to bring her into the marriage. After so ti, or in private, it’s hard to imagine how he’ll mistreat Ye iru.”
After Jing Zhe explained the whole situation, Chuxia sorted it out and understood the essence of the marriage between Huang and Ye; she needed his help, and he needed her to fulfill his desire to marry a woman of equal social standing. It was a mutual agreent. As for the future… they probably have to see as they go.
Hearing Jing Zhe’s explanation, it seems that Huang Xinlong is unlikely to let go, but Ye iru might not feel the sa.
Now she finally understood why Zhou Mikang threatened Ye iru with going to talk to Huang Xinlong. It seems, the deal between Huang Xinlong and Ye iru was for Huang Xinlong to help her rescue a forr lover of Ye iru, after which she would have to stay wholly devoted to Huang Xinlong. If Huang Xinlong found out about Ye iru’s entanglent with Zhou Mikang, it was imaginable how he would treat her.
Extremists are the most terrifying! Given that, Ye iru really played with fire and burned herself. Chuxia looked at Zhou Mikang, who had been expressionless and silent, “Do you feel pitiful?”
“She and I have no relations anymore. She chose her own path, why should I feel sorry?” Zhou Mikang looked at Jing Zhe, “I have a eting, and it might be very late before I can go back. Please take Chuxia ho safely.”
“Okay.” Jing Zhe stood up and walked outside, “Sis, let’s go. Soone here apparently thinks I’m ddling too much.”
Sensing Zhou Mikang’s underlying anger, Chuxia felt sowhat disappointed. So, he still cared about Ye iru and just silently followed Jing Zhe outside; however, before reaching the door, her arm stung with pain. She turned back to see Zhou Mikang’s eyes, red with anger, staring at her, “You… what’s wrong?” Chuxia swallowed nervously, “I… if I said sothing wrong, I apologize to you.”
“You realize you said sothing wrong?” Zhou Mikang almost gritted his teeth as he spoke. Abiding by the rule that a brave man does not suffer imdiate losses, Chuxia kept nodding, “Of course, of course, I definitely know I said sothing wrong, sorry, I… I didn’t an it.”
“Do you know where you went wrong?”
“Where did I go wrong?” Chuxia blinked her big eyes, sowhat confused. Yes, where did she go wrong to make him so angry?
“What are you doing?” Jing Zhe stord back, his eyes full of fury as he glared at Zhou Mikang, “If you can’t let go, then don’t marry Chuxia. The way you are now, you’re really despicable!”
“This is our marital affair, mind your own business.” Zhou Mikang slamd the door shut and locked it, looking at Chuxia, who was cowering and staring at him fearfully, his frown deepening.
Chuxia was genuinely scared now. If this stubborn man really laid hands on her, with her small fra, breaking a few bones would be the least of her problems, right?
If it had been a normal day, she wouldn’t be worried, but now, stimulated by the tragic plight of her first love, it wouldn’t be impossible to act irrationally…
“Heh heh…” She squeezed out a laugh that was almost like crying, “A gentleman uses his mouth, not his fists.”
Seeing her like this, his anger turned into a laugh: “Afraid I’ll hit you?”
“Yes.” Chuxia nodded her head and then hurriedly shook it, “No, no, I know you wouldn’t hit , I’m not afraid.”
Zhou Mikang gazed at her sternly: “Do you really think I couldn’t hit you or are you just saying that because you’re afraid I might?”
“Really, really, I truly believe you wouldn’t hit .” Chuxia now was simply responding instinctively.
Zhou Mikang’s expression softened a bit: “Do you know why I’m angry?”
In a flash of insight, Chuxia quickly said: “Because I don’t trust you.”
Suddenly, as if his dark eyes were bright as dazzling teors, he reached out and tightly embraced her: “You’ve finally stopped being foolish.”
“I…” Chuxia hesitated for a mont, then wrapped her arms around his waist, “I’m sorry, it was just a reflex thought that you were grieving over Ye iru, after all, you had that history, and you did stay away from relationships for many years because of her.”
“Were you jealous earlier?”
“Just a little bit uncomfortable.”
“Rember, all my efforts now are for you, my heart is with you, and you, too, must fully place your heart with !” (To be continued.
