Chapter 27 (1/2)

“I think that we’re not stupid at all,” Pei Xiuyuan replied seriously.

Lu Man took several deep breaths. “Mr. Pei, just say whatever you want. Please let me go when you’re done. I don’t want to look at you for another second!”

“You need to look at me for the rest of your life.” How could she say that she refused to look at him another second!

What he said reminded her. “I want a divorce!”

Pei Xiuyuan became serious again. “My dear, don’t say something like that. Ever!”

“Why not? Why do we have to stay married?” She did not want to think about the reason he married her. She did not want to think anymore. She just wanted to end their marriage and leave them all behind.

“Why not?”

“You’re Wang Yunxi’s elder brother!”

“What does that have to do with our marriage?” Pei Xiuyuan retorted.

Lu Man looked at him for a long time without saying anything. “Do you think that it has nothing to do with that?”

“Yes.” He confirmed it.

“I think that it has everything to do with that! I don’t want to be with you anymore!” He thought that it was fine but she did not think so.

“Manman, you need to stay with me for the rest of your life. We’re going to be together forever.” He had never planned to let her go the minute he decided to marry her.

“Who says that I’m going to be with you forever? You can even divorce your husband in ancient times. Why not now?” It was something common in today’s world.

“Why do you want a divorce? Is it because I’m Wang Yunxi’s elder brother?”

“Isn’t that a good enough reason?”

“No! It’s not!”

“Pei Xiuyuan, have you not had enough? Don’t mess with me anymore!” Lu Man was outraged. How dare he refuse to let her go! Why was he so unreasonable?

“My dear, when have I ever messed with you?” Pei Xiuyuan asked innocently.

“You marry me with purpose. You never told me that Wang Yunxi is your younger sister. Aren’t you messing with me?” He had had a lot of chances to tell her the truth but he never did. She did not know the truth up until that very moment. She had assumed that she could act the way she wanted with him by her side. She thought that she could show him off in front of Wang Yunxi. In the end, she learned that he was her elder brother! Was he not messing with her?

Lu Man wanted to dig a hole in the ground and bury herself there when she remembered the things she had mentioned on how to take revenge on Wang Yunxi.

“My dear, when did I marry you with purpose?” Pei Xiuyuan sounded much innocent.

“Do you know about my relationship with Mu Yunhai before?”

“I do know about it.”

“Then, isn’t that your plot? You married me on purpose!” No wonder he agreed to marry her so soon! It was all a plot!

“I know about your relationship with Mu Yunhai. But it has nothing to do with our marriage.”

Lu Man sneered coldly.

“My dear, you proposed to me first and I wanted to marry at that very moment. I find you comfortable to be with. I needed to get married anyway and that’s why I married you.”

“Are you laughing at me? For throwing myself at your feet?” She was stupid. She went to her enemy to die. He was not wrong indeed.

“My dear, that’s not what I meant. I mean that we have gotten married because we’re destined to be together. I married you because it’s you and no one else. I think that no one would joke about their marriage and marry somebody just to mess with them. Moreover, I don’t have to marry you if I did want to frame you.”

What he said was indeed logical. Lu Man could not retort what he said.
