Chapter 497: Everything You Said About Doting On , Pampering , And Listening To After We Got Married Were All Lies
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
She dragged out her last word softly, making it sound like it was filled with longing.
Li Shaobin’s chest heated up and he almost nodded, but he held back. However, his dashing face still blushed under her gaze.
Ruan Yang reached out a hand and hooked his pinky finger with her pinky finger lovingly.
Li Shaobin almost couldn’t take it. He forced on a cold expression and said, “Stop trying to seduce . You even hung up on .”
“I didn’t want to hang up on you but I had sothing to do.” Ruan Yang sighed softly. “Besides, you sounded so harsh. I was a little afraid to talk to you. Shaobin, shall we stop arguing? If we were just bickering, that’d be fine, but that’s too much strain on our relationship.”
Li Shaobin’s lips moved.
Should he argue with her?
Actually, arguing was really pointless.
Restoring the patriarchy was also starting to beco pointless. He felt that way when she stopped contacting him.
“Oh, right. I bought you a lighter and so clothes from Beijing this ti. Try them out,” Ruan Yang said with a smile.
“Why did you have to buy presents?” Li Shaobin pouted.
“I can’t help it. I keep thinking about you wherever I go. I didn’t get anything for myself. Everything I bought was for you.” Ruan Yang raised her brows and said, “What did you buy for ?”
Li Shaobin was stumped. That didn’t cross his mind at all.
“I knew you didn’t get anything.” Ruan Yang sighed. “Everything you said about doting on , pampering , and listening to after we got married were all lies.”
“If it wasn’t because you kept thinking about Xin Ziao, I wouldn’t be like this either,” Li Shaobin grumbled. “I was too busy there. Besides, n don’t keep thinking about shopping like you won.”
“That depends on whether you have sincerity or not. Look—Song Chuyi always brings Changqing a gift wherever he goes.” Ruan Yang looked down and poked the fish in her bowl with her chopsticks.
“That’s because Changqing loves Old Song with all her heart,” Li Shaobin said gloomily. “At least Changqing didn’t call out Fu Yu’s na in her dream.”
The dining room fell silent all of a sudden. Ruan Yang ate her food with her head hanging low, looking as though she had a lot on her mind.
“Why... did you stop talking?” Li Shaobin asked after clearing his throat.
“I don’t know... what to say either.” Ruan Yang lifted her head and smiled bitterly. “This is my fault. If I knew I would have such a dream, I would’ve rather not slept that night. It’s only right for you to be angry. If you were the one calling other won’s nas in your sleep, I would definitely be angry and upset too. It’s just that... I don’t know what I should do to make you not angry anymore. Maybe it’s going to be difficult. No matter how hard I try to get closer to you, I find myself drifting further and further away and your attitude towards gets worse. When I try to get close to you, you find annoying. When I don’t, your attitude towards is equally bad. Sotis, I think that it might be because you’re already sick of or because you don’t like at all. The reason why you didn’t initiate a divorce is only that you’re embarrassed since we just got married...”
Li Shaobin was flustered all of a sudden. No matter how daft he was in a relationship, at that mont, he realized where this would lead if they were to continue like this and that wasn’t where he wanted to go. “It’s not like that...”
“Then tell ... what is it?” Ruan Yang watched him with sorrow. “Tell —what should I do to make you happy? Or is there nothing I can do to make you happy? Is that incident going to beco a thorn in your heart driving deeper and deeper until the wound starts to rot and you can only cut off the rotten flesh in the end?”
Li Shaobin scratched his head and looked at her blankly.
Ruan Yang said each word clearly, “Then I’m that rotten flesh in your heart. After the rotten flesh is cut off, new flesh can grow and that new flesh wouldn’t be anymore. It might be... another woman.”
She tightened her grip on her chopsticks. Actually, she was also betting on it.
So things would only cause the wound to deepen if they dragged on. Besides, cold treatnt was really hurtful and she would only be hurt precisely because she cared. It felt like she was trying to get along with a porcupine. She was trying her best to embrace the porcupine but the closer she got, the more it hurt and when she finally held him, she might die from all her wounds.
Li Shaobin’s lips felt dry. He didn’t want to swap her out for another woman. He had never thought of that before.
He didn’t want to keep thinking about it but he couldn’t help it. If this went on, it might really beco rotten flesh.
“The only way to solve it is to pull that thorn out.” Ruan Yang put her left hand gently on his hand holding the chopsticks. “Let’s work hard together, alright?”
Li Shaobin looked into her eyes. The two of them were sitting side by side. She was very close to him—so close that he could see his reflection in her eyes and it seed as though he could see that rotting flesh.
He didn’t want their marriage to end up as rotting flesh.
Maybe he shouldn’t have kept thinking about restoring the patriarchy. Even if he beca the patriarch of the family and Ruan Yang listened to whatever he said, it actually didn’t seem that interesting at all.
He was actually just hoping that restoring the patriarchy could prove that Ruan Yang loved him, but the reality was that Ruan Yang wasn’t a subservient person.
Indeed. He should’ve just gone along with her like what Hu Zhi said.
“When you say ‘let’s work hard together’...” Li Shaobin moved his lips. “You can’t think of Xin Ziao again.”
“Can you give a reason to think of him again?” Ruan Yang held his hand with a smile. “From today onwards, let’s work hard together to start afresh as a blissful couple. Shall we?”
The two of them hadn’t gotten along so peacefully in such a long ti. Li Shaobin felt sweet inside and just as he was about to say sothing, the doorbell rang suddenly.
The two of them exchanged glances. Ruan Yang got up and walked to the door. “Who’s that?”
“Delivery. Young Master Li ordered so dishes from our restaurant and told us to deliver over.”
Ruan Yang turned back to look at Li Shaobin. Li Shaobin stood up quickly and said, “I thought you weren’t at ho and I was lazy to cook so I got the restaurant to deliver food over.”
Ruan Yang opened the door. The deliveryman ca in with the food and left. When Ruan Yang opened the packages, she saw a sumptuous spread with three at dishes and a vegetable. They were all Szechuan dishes. There were stead fishes and beef noodles.
Li Shaobin looked at the restaurant food then at Ruan Yang’s food. He gulped.
“Do you think the food I make doesn’t taste as good as restaurant food?” Ruan Yang lifted her head and caught his gaze.
