Chapter 556 - Fig Leaf (2/2)

Xing Yuanhang’s younger sister and her husband also arrived at the hospital.

The two families faced each other in silence, forming a picture of confrontation.

Nevertheless, Xing Yuanhang’s sister knew that her brother was in the wrong. Hence, she tried to persuade her brother and sister-in-law to talk it over peacefully.

The Tan Family, however, they remained quiet and stood by Tan Yuechun’s side.

In the Tan Family, Tan Yuechun had always been taking the role of the head of the family, although she was the youngest.

As she never said anything, nobody knew what she was thinking.

The hallway was a little cold. Although there were many of them, no one of them spoke.

The atmosphere started to become a little strange.

Xing Yuanhang had the gauze wrapped around his neck. His learned and refined face had a shade of green and gray.

His current look was more like the victim than Tan Yuechun herself.

“Yuechun…” Xing Yuanhang broke the silence. “I’m sorry about what happened today…”

“You’re sorry about what happened today?” Tan Yuechun laughed. “Which matter are you not sorry toward me?”

Xing Yuanhang kept quiet.

During this period where bickerings and quarrels were common, he was always in this quiet state.

But what Tan Yuechun hated most was exactly his silence.

She would rather he yell at her or even argue loudly at her than face the cold and quiet him.

“Do you know? I’ve even tried to understand why you lusted after the bodies of young women…” Tan Yuechun laughed coldly. “During this period, I’ve been re-assessing all aspects of myself, starting from my appearance. I wondered if I hadn’t been managing my image well, or if I had some intolerable shortcomings that caused you to be tired of me… I maintain myself, doll up myself, I also read books to enrich myself. I don’t depend on you, I don’t go with the flow and I try to keep up with the times. I hope that you can see my good points and return to my side…”

As Tan Yuechun said so, she was sobbing badly. For a moment, she couldn’t continue talking and she closed her eyes tightly.

“You know what?” she continued after she calmed down, “I’ve persuaded myself to forgive you. As long as you leave her and come back to me, I will forgive you. But… Hurhur!”

Her wrinkles at the ends of her eye appeared when she closed her eyes tightly.

Her wrinkles were a reminder that time would get to anyone. Maintaining one’s looks… she was just in self-denial that she hadn’t aged.

The collagen that one lost as time passed by would not come back.

Xing Yuanhang looked at her. “You’re very good, always very good.”

“I’m very good, yet you chose to sleep on another woman’s bed?”

“…”

“Isn’t this ironic?”

It was really ironic.

Xiang Wan was also beside her aunt, and she felt her heart had just been dipped in ice water.

If it was her, what would she do?

Would she have the same amount of patience as her youngest aunt? Would she do so much and say so much to salvage her marriage?

“Aye!” Xing Yuanhang puffed a sigh and kept quiet again.

When Xing Yuanhang’s younger sister saw that, she started to persuade them that they should consider their children and deal with the matter properly. She also said that Feifei had just turned 18 while Tiantian was still so young and that the kids needed a complete and happy family.

Xing Yuanhang took a glance at Tan Yuechun after hearing his sister’s words. “I’ll be frank. In the beginning, I’ve never thought of a divorce and I wanted to solve this problem without taking this step. But I really have no other way out. She kept forcing me, you also force me. I’m really frustrated, angry and I felt that I’m being cornered…”

His many years of maintaining an image of a good man had crumbled that day. Xing Yuanhang started to tell them how he had been feeling.

“Yunyun’s young, naive, youthful, passionate and simple… When I’m with her, I don’t feel so tired and need not think too much. Just a simple gift could make her happy and excited for a long time. I coveted after this relaxing feeling and I like to be with her. Her eyes were clear like water; I like the devotion and admiration she has for me. Yet, I’m very clear that she is not suitable to be a wife. Her love is too idealistic, too dreamy and unrealistic…”

“I don’t want to hear about the love between you and her.” Tan Yuechun’s eyes had reddened and she stared right at him. “Xing Yuanhang, are you abandoning the last fig leaf we have?”
