Chapter 101 - 11. They could not separate (1/2)

After Bai Li left, He Yi solemnly said to Yi Liangze, “I suggest that the wedding be postponed. You should take the initiative to tell the elders so that they won’t be put in a difficult position.”

Yi Liangze was very surprised. “Why?”

“The poisoning case can’t be investigated in a short period, and the matter has become so loud. It would be too much of a stretch to hold a wedding at this time. Moreover, your second Aunt said that if I were to marry into the Yi family, she would have to leave with her child. Once this happens, the wedding would turn into a sad matter. The elders would not be happy!” He Yi listed out the reasons one by one, however, what she did not say was that she felt that her marriage with Yi Liangze was too rushed. Before the knot in her heart with him was unlocked, a quickie marriage would only end up in a kind of trauma.

She did not want to hurt him, nor did she want him to hurt her because of it. The only choice was to postpone the wedding and wait until they understood each other and could truly accept each other before they got together.

After saying this, He Yi saw that Yi Liangze was silent, so she could only explain helplessly. “Originally, I also planned to accept this flash marriage, but… I once told you that after the two of us get married, we will still live our own lives, because… I can not accept a man whose body has betrayed me…”

“Qing Xing is already dead, and you still won’t give up!” Yi Liangze interrupted her.

He Yi fell silent. She suddenly realized that although the two of them seemed to be close to each other, they were very far away.

Yi Liangze stood up, and his tone was determined without any room for negotiation. “The wedding date will not be postponed! I believe that you are not the one who poisoned him. As for where the real murderer is, let the police slowly find out! If the elders in the family have any objections or make a fuss about moving away with the children, it has nothing to do with me. The person you are marrying is me, not them! If they don’t agree, we will hold the wedding in Jinxiu Hua Ting. In any case, the wedding room has long been prepared!

He Yi turned her head and said coldly, “Since you have already decided, I have nothing to say!”

He was determined to complete the marriage on time, and she could not stop him. However, he had to bear all the consequences himself.

“I’ve said it before. After the marriage, Wan Wan and I will still live in the Leather Factory, and we’ll live our separate lives!” When she said these words, her gaze avoided Yi Liangze.

She had said these words to him before with confidence. However, because he had helped her investigate Mayor Chu’s bribery case, it could be said that he had helped her a great deal. This means she owes him a huge favor. In addition, his great assistance had allowed Wan Wan to slowly accept that Chu Tianyi was not her biological father. She had also gradually accepted the fact that Yi Liangze was her biological father. This meant a lot to He Yi.

He had made two great contributions. She could not bear to treat him so coldly anymore. What kind of marriage was this? Therefore, she had proposed to postpone the wedding while there was controversy over the poisoning case. Wouldn’t it be better to wait until they had resolved the knot in their hearts before getting married?

However, Yi Liangze’s attitude was extremely firm. There was no room for negotiation at all.

She had suggested that they should live separate lives after getting married. Her tone and attitude were no longer as confident as before.

Yi Liangze did not get angry. Instead, he laughed coldly and said, “It doesn’t matter where we live! I can move to the leather factory with Baby!”

He Yi could no longer remain calm. She turned her head and looked at him in disbelief. “You and Baby are moving to the Factory?”

What a joke!

“If you and Wan Wan can live there, why can’t I and Baby live there?” Yi Liang said righteously. “A family should live together, we can’t live apart!”

After saying that, as He Yi seemed to want to refute it, he quickly stated, “That day, nothing happened between me and Qing Xing. When you catch an adulterer, you have to catch both of them! You condemned me just like that and used it as a reason and excuse to live apart after marriage. I’m not convinced!”

He Yi looked at him and bit her lip. She was having an intense struggle in her mind.

Was she being too pretentious? The children needed him as a father, and he had helped her to deal with Chu Tianyi several times as a way to repay his kindness… No, her misfortune was all caused by him. He should be the one to compensate her, not her to repay him.

If she had not been raped by him back then, she would not have given birth to twins before marriage. Now, of course, she would not have to reluctantly accept him for the sake of the children.

As for Chu Tianyi… even if he did not help her, she would have eventually dealt with him. It was just that she needed more time to do things.

“He Yi, our marriage is not only for ourselves but also for the children!” Yi Liangze softened his tone and attitude. He tried to get closer to her, wanting to pull her back into his embrace. “Stop being stubborn! The baby needs a mother, and Wan Wan needs a father too! Otherwise, she will always be stupid and not know who her father is!”

Perhaps it was the last sentence that made He Yi make up her mind, but she finally compromised. She let out a long sigh, and her whole body softened.

Yi Liangze took the opportunity to pull her into his arms and said gently, “Be good, what’s wrong with marrying me? I will love you well!” As he said that, he kissed her gently.

He Yi was powerless to resist. She could only close her eyes and make one last request to him, which was her bottom line. “The thing with Qing Xing made me very sad. I don’t want to experience it a second time in my life!”

“It won’t happen!” Yi Liangze quickly promised. “There won’t be a second time!”

“What if there’s a second time?” He Yi opened her eyes. Her clear eyes were as cold as a cold star.

Yi Liangze was a little embarrassed. After a long time, he said, “It’s up to you to deal with it!”

This was a very cunning answer. Her punishment could be big or small! Just like how she had originally decided to be a nominal couple with him, her heart softened because of his great contributions. Now that she had promised him, the bottom line that she was prepared to hold on to became vulnerable.

However, there should be a second time for an affair! He could not resist the temptation of Qing Xing, so he might not be able to resist the temptation of other beauties. When the relationship between the two became dull, he might make the same mistake again for the sake of passion.

There was a prolonged silence. He Yi finally said solemnly, “If there is another similar matter, we must agree on a divorce. As for whether we want to maintain a marriage of convenience or a public divorce after, it depends on the situation!”

After all, the Yi family was large, and divorce was a shameful matter. He was also the father of two children. If they were to divorce, of course, he had to consider everything thoroughly and reduce all the losses and injuries to the lowest point.

Yi Liangze seemed to be in disbelief. His surprise was greater than his anger. “You’re not married yet, and you’re already planning to divorce!”

He Yi turned her face away, not intending to apologize for this. “Who asked you to have a criminal record!”

“…” Yi Liangze was silent for a long time, and many complicated emotions flashed across his deep, dark eyes.

He Yi did not know what he was thinking about at this moment. was he thinking about his future with her or the dead Qing Xing?

Towards the dead Qing Xing, the two of them undoubtedly felt guilty. Although Qing Xing was dead, she was forever standing between them.

He Yi was very clear that the two of them would never be able to return to the pure and passionate love of the past. They had also lost their initial trust.

After an unknown amount of time, Yi Liangze gently pushed her away and slowly stood up. He said, “I’ll go and see the children.”

“Oh!.” He Yi also stood up. For some reason, she felt a little awkward and uncomfortable. “I should go back too!”

“Alright then.” Yi Liangze curled his lips. “Let’s go out together!”

*

Back at the factory, her mood was a little stifled. It was good news that Wan Wan had acknowledged her biological father. After Chu Tianyi found out the truth about Mayor Chu’s corruption, he probably wouldn’t continue to harm her. However, why did his heart feel like it was weighed down by a heavy stone? Why wasn’t he happy.

“… no, I’m working! … I can’t do that. There’s been a lot of things going on at the factory recently. I’ve been lazy for a long time accompanying you to play, and I’ve left a lot of work behind. When He Yi comes back, she’ll scold me!”

He Yi pushed open the office door and heard Wei Jimeng chatting on the phone. As for who she was talking to, judging from her sweet voice, she must be flirting with Fang Yu.

“… Tomorrow! I really can’t spare time! It’s getting late… Aiya, I really can’t talk to you anymore! Otherwise, I’ll have to work overtime tonight!”

After hanging up the phone with great difficulty, Wei Jiameng’s face was still flushed with excitement. She stroked her violent heartbeat and was about to continue working when she realized that He Yi had returned.

“Hey, you’re back!” Wei Jiameng cheered, “That’s great! I don’t have to work overtime tonight!”

He Yi’s expression was a little unsightly. She threw her bag into the sofa and sat down. “I specifically told you that your task today was very heavy, and I have a lot of things to be busy with. You only cared about dating that playboy and didn’t do anything!”

“I have things to do too.” Wei Jiameng’s biggest advantage was her good temper. Especially when He Yi was unhappy, she was always careful not to quarrel with her. “Here, I helped you print out the new order from Jinling!”
