Chapter 37 - Under Control (2/2)

”Did that bastard take advantage of you in bed?” First question was the ultimate decision between crushing his nuts, which was already somehow circled on the pad, or castrating him without anesthesia.

”Hah, hun, that's a huge no for that question. We had set our ground rules or well his ground rules for the wedding night.” Susu couldn't help but let out a laugh at how protective her friend was when it came to her.

”Then where did he sleep? The floor? Couch? No way, right? Even when he stayed over at my place, he refused to sleep anywhere but a bed.” She poked the pen cap against her chin several times.

”He slept on the bed. I slept on the floor the first night. Then, I bought myself a portable and bendable bed, so he had nothing to say.”

”Say what?! That son of a gun dared to take over the bed and have you slept elsewhere?! Okay, that's it.” She placed a tally under the ”give him a new nose” category.

As they continued their conversation, Susu explained that everything was fine with his family members and she did everything that a wife, daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law should do. She also mentioned that Karen was the one who planned the engagement crisis from a year ago.

In the middle of the conversation, Susu mentioned, ”Honestly, when I found out that I had cancer in the middle of this horrible marriage, I really thought of it as a joke. I was wandering around by myself, wondering what I should do from there. When I looked back in all the years of the efforts in trying to perfect myself for him, I actually laughed. I spent my time on a person who wouldn't bother giving me a minute of his time. Even though my feelings for him reduced day by day, the moment I knew that I'm on a time limit, these feelings just swam away.”

”I've spent enough time with and for the wrong person that I just want to use the years that I have left for those I truly love and care for. That's why I didn't bother fighting back and forth or retaliating verbally when accusations were thrown at me. Regardless of whether that recent water incident occurred or not, I would've left the Tian family anyways.” Susu revealed a rosy, sweet smile as she faced Lily when saying these words.

At the end of the two-hour conversation, Lily grabbed Susu's hand while tears lingered the surface of her eyes, ”If I were a guy, I would marry you on the damn spot. Woman, you're gold and you should never have to suffer from his stupidity. If I were you, I would've broken down or would destroy his swimmers. But it's good. Now, you're divorced. You can find someone who loves you dearly and that you love him back.”

”Mmmm..” Susu wiped the drip of tears that escaped from Lily's eyes.

”And when you do find him... make sure he gets through my approval! He needs to get through my level to marry you, my honey! I'm not letting another jerk hurt you. Hmph!”

At the same time, in Chen Mu's condo, he sneezed twice and blew his nose, ”Somebody must be talking behind my back.”
