Chapter 28 - Fellow Concubines Of The Same King (1/2)
As Jun Zixuan gaze turned colder at her words, she smiled at him, ”Wanna strangle me? You will hurt your mother if you do that. After all, I am her favored daughter-in-law,” Although she said that, she could not help but wonder how would a mother be so cruel to her own son.
Why would she want him to marry an ugly, fat, and scheming girl like the previous owner?
Jun Zixuan pursed his lips, ”She won't like it if you try to commit suicide again?”
”Commit suicide?” She repeated in disdain, ”For you? Do you think you are worth it?”
Narrowing his eyes, he looked at the comic book lying on the table, ”Seducing my bossy husband in bed…Aren't you learning tricks from here? It won't work.”
Her lips twitched slightly. She casually picked up the book to act normal. Little did she know it would turn out to be so controversial.
”After our divorce, I am planning to get married to one of my old flames,” She sighed, ”But, a long time has passed. I don't know if he still feels the same for me. So I'd try to seduce him by learning these.”
And is it something you should be discussing with your current husband?
Jun Zixuan took a breath to control the urge of strangling her right there, ”Why is the floor wet?” He asked coldly.
”I accidentally stepped on a cockroach so had to clean the whole floor.”
He took a few steps towards her before looking straight into her eyes, ”Why is your face so pale?”
She averted her gaze, ”At thought of living under the same roof with you, I could not sleep for the whole night.”
”I'm not interested in living with you. So, you should bother yourself with your nonsensical imaginations,” When she didn't look at him, he lowered his body to her height and pinched her chin tilting her head upwards, ”Between us, nothing will ever happen. Our relationship will always be an illusion to the outsiders. When they see us as a happily married couple, it will be nothing more than a…pretense.”
Her starry eyes looked at the man deeply.
'Thump!' His heart skipped a beat.
That pair of eyes.
He loosened his grip on her chin before standing straight.
Her gaze was intense as she spoke, ”Whatever you said today, do remember it well.”
”I will.”
”What about our divorce?” She asked coldly.
”We'll talk about that after having breakfast,” With that he turned around and starting walking towards the door.
”Lock the door,” Her voice made him pause but he didn't turn around.
Without speaking a word, he locked the door and left the room.
As soon as he left, Yu Mei leaned back on the headrest of the bed weakly for a few minutes before pushing herself out of the bed.
She opened the drawers of the bedside table and took out the wet towels that she used to wipe the floor. She even used the perfume to cover the blood stench.
