Chapter 205 - If they only suffered when they’re together (1) (1/2)

Was he not going to back down if he didn’t get an answer?

Xu Weilai tightly knit her brows together, not understanding why he was so adamant about finding out the reason behind the fight. Did he want to seek justice for Su Ziqian in an honorable manner?

He wanted to ask her why, so she’ll give him a reason!

Xu Weilai smirked, even scoffing for a moment, before enunciating every word clearly, “It is completely justifiable for the wife to beat up the mistress. Do you need any more of a reason? Hm?”

At such a rhetorical question, Gu Yu didn’t get mad. Instead, those long eyelashes of his fluttered slightly, and he remained silent for a moment before his thin lips parted once more. With a tinge of indecipherable emotion, his voice sounded through that quiet bedroom of theirs as he asked, “You mind her?”

Mind?

‘What an amusing question,’ Xu Weilai thought.

She didn’t understand what kind of answer Gu Yu wished for her to give. As his wife, it was impossible for her to not mind Su Ziqian, the third party in their marriage. Even so… she was just his “wife” that he never acknowledged, so what gave her the right to mind? Besides, he had never given her the liberty to do so.

Perhaps all men were the same. Regardless of whether or not they loved a woman, they would wish for her to fight for them, to get jealous over them.

Even so, she learned long ago to not overestimate her worth or be overly forward with him. She didn’t wish for the last tinge of goodness between them to whittle away.

Xu Weilai closed her eyes shut and took in a deep breath. When she opened her eyes once more, there was no longer any emotion left in them, other than a detached and calm look.

She lifted her head until her eyes met Gu Yu’s inky ones. Pressing her lips together lightly, she parted her lips and replied, “I don’t.”

Once she finished her piece, Xu Weilai lowered her gaze to hide the surge of grief in her eyes. She had never thought that there’d be a day where she and the man she had once loved could end up being so indifferent to one another.

There was a saying that said it best: If two lovers only suffered when they’re together, they’ll be better off apart.
