章節 48: You've Lost Yourself (2)

Did he think that it didn't concern her? That she didn't have to be involved in it? 

Lin Qianrou felt like there was a kind of distance separating her from her husband. That no matter how hard she tried, she would never be able to reach him nor understand him. 

Sex was good, but she needed more than that and the money he could give her. And it's not that they have enough time to make love anyway. It was already surprising that she ended up being pregnant today considering that he wasn't always around when she needed him. 

"I take back the words about him changing priorities after hearing about your baby. He's such an ass, Qian! I can't believe you married someone like him!" 

"Don't say it like that, Meili." 

"And you still have the guts to defend your husband?" Li Meili scoffed, "Incredible." 

Lin Qianrou couldn't blame Li Meili for thinking that way about her husband, but she was telling the truth. Aside from his charities and foundations, Xu Wenyang actively helped people in need without publicizing it. 

There was this one time when he overtook a bankrupt company and he supported those old employees who had been working for the company since the start, and gave them a chance to work again in his other stable companies, to help them provide for their families. 

Knowing this, Lin Qianrou couldn't help but love her husband more. Xu Wenyang might be a workaholic person, but he definitely wasn't a bad person. A bad and inconsiderate husband, maybe. 

"Hey, Qian. Has it ever dawned to you that maybe Wen is acting like this towards you because you've never complained about it to him before? He got used to letting you down that he thinks an extravagant gift is enough to placate your anger?" 

Li Meili's question caught Lin Qianrou off guard. Now that her friend had put it that way, she could see that she was also at fault here. She let out a dejected sigh, which made her friend snap at her. 

"Don't you just let him get away with it without giving you any explanation. He makes a mistake then thinks a gift would be enough to make up for it? The fuck is wrong with his head? Even if you aren't pregnant, no matter how much money he throws in your face, it would never be enough to compensate that you've given up your dream by marrying him!" 

Lin Qianrou had received a scholarship abroad. One that would cover everything she would need during her stay at the university. However, she turned down the offer because Xu Wenyang had proposed marriage to her. 

"Please don't say that, Meili. I haven't even painted anything over the past three years. It wasn't for me." 

Li Meili shook her head. 

"That's the point, Qian! Your whole life now revolves around him. What about you? You haven't done anything you wanted since your marriage, because you are too afraid that people will criticize 'Madam Xu' for not meeting their standards. You didn't even want to attend those parties and fundraising ceremonies but nooooo, you have to be there because they expected you to be there." She was fuming in rage at this point. That, Lin Qianrou could tell. 

"I say fuck them, Qian! Why do you need to appease their satisfaction in exchange of your own? You were too busy being Madam Xu that you've forgotten about Lin Qianrou who loves to paint and likes teaching children. No wonder Moyu said attending those parties was such a waste of time. She's right! I'd rather stay at home than surround myself with backstabbing whores and hags!" Li Meili said, making Lin Qianrou wince from her unladylike words. 

When Lin Qianrou didn't say anything in return, Li Meili continued. 

"You could have married a normal guy, who would strive to make you happier, than marrying a rich man who was barely there to look after you. What? Are you just a trophy wife who's meant to help him with his philanthropic projects?" 

"How can you say that Wen isn't a normal guy?" Lin Qianrou scowled. 

"I hate to say this, Qian but he's totally out of your league. He's like any other rich guy who'll throw money at your face, expecting that it would be enough to solve everything and clear up the mess he'd left. I already warned you before you married him!" 

Lin Qianrou totally understood where Li Meili was coming from. She couldn't deny any of it. True, Xu Wenyang used to give her expensive and lavish gifts, expecting her to forgive him for his offences, expecting her to be happy with it. 

"It was one thing when you only have yourself to take care of during his absence, but what about your baby? Would you let your child see their own father disregard you like this? Qian, you need to consider if you still want to live like this with him or go on with your own life. Whatever your decision is, I will respect it, but don't blame me later for not giving you a warning."

Lin Qianrou cried in silence. Her mind was telling her to give up and ask for a divorce, yet her heart refused to cooperate, telling her to give him a chance to explain before making a choice. 

However, she also knew that she needed to make up her mind soon. If her husband really went to Guangzhou for her Sister Yan's sake, Qian knew that she didn't need to stay with him anymore. If Wen chose to be with her Sister Yan then she would force herself to learn not to love him anymore. 

After all, she was the one who took advantage of their breakup and seduced Xu Wenyang. It was understandable if Meng Yanran wanted him back from her.

章節 49: Quite Stupid, Are You? (1)

Lin Qianrou's relationship with her cousin, Meng Yanran was a bit complicated. While she was grateful for Meng Yanran's family for taking her in, she still felt a pang of guilt knowing that she seduced Xu Wenyang after the two broke up. 

When they were younger, there were times when Meng Yanran had given her old and spare clothes as well as things she didn't want anymore to Lin Qianrou. Since Lin Qianrou was born into a poor family, she was grateful for the things Meng Yanran had given her. 

Until that fateful day, during their high school years, when Meng Yanran had embarrassed her in front of her friends by taking back a bracelet Meng Yanran had given to her. 

"I-I thought you said I could keep it?" She stuttered when Meng Yanran and her friends cornered her in the girls' bathroom.

Meng Yanran checked her well-manicured hand while she crossed her arms. 

"I changed my mind, Qian. It's Daddy's birthday present to me last year. It was mine anyway so would you give it back?" 

Around them, her friends gave Lin Qianrou a disgusted look.

"Yanran is so kind, but how could you give her such a precious gift?" 

"Well, it belongs to Yanran anyway. Since she was the one who gave it to her, she could also take it back, no?" 

Lin Qianrou felt her cheeks burn in shame and removed the bracelet from her wrist. It was really such a beautiful piece and she'd never owned one before. 

In the end, she returned the bracelet, but she started to be careful around Meng Yanran. She'd been careful not to cause trouble with her cousin, that was also why the next time Meng Yanran gave her something, she tried to convince herself that it wasn't hers and they were something Meng Yanran could take back anytime. 

But Xu Wenyang wasn't a thing Meng Yanran could take back at will, but Lin Qianrou was also fed up by his habits. She didn't think she would be able to stay with the way he was treating her. 

Whatever love she felt for him would never be enough to make this marriage work anymore. She didn't want any expensive gifts, she only wanted her husband's attention and love. She was really stupid to think that love was enough to keep it going. 

For fuck's sake, three years and yet she remained faithful to him, always waiting, always forgiving, so what about her? Didn't she deserve some of his precious time? 

Divorce was the only option he'd left for her. Even if it would kill a part of her heart, she had no other choice but to leave him, as she couldn't continue deluding herself that he would even take notice of what she truly wanted from him. 

—-

Meanwhile, Xu Wenyang arrived at Shenzhen at two in the morning. His sudden departure to oversee what had happened back in Guangzhou at his grandmother's insistence was futile. 

Meng Yanran had run away, leaving her cheating husband and his two-year-old child, who wasn't hers, back at home. She must be really devastated upon the news of her husband's betrayal. 

What a damn waste of time traveling to Guangzhou, when he could have stayed here in Shenzhen to celebrate with his wife. Speaking of Lin Qianrou, Xu Wenyang pulled out his phone and saw several missed calls from his wife. His guilt for standing her up on their dinner date started to eat him from the inside. 

He should have called her earlier to inform her about the problem in Guangzhou. He considered bringing her with him, but he remembered Qian didn't like to travel that much. 

Qian had been looking forward to their dinner date and yet he ruined all of her plans. He rubbed his temples and chastised himself. He'd really messed up this time and he wouldn't be surprised if Qian would make a big deal out of it. 

He sighed. He didn't even want to go to Guangzhou earlier. He should've insisted for his grandmother to let his sister oversee the situation back there. This would surely cost him Qian's anger, not that he would blame her. 

When he arrived home, the usual lighting at the ground floor welcomed him. As he made his way upstairs, he was dreaded to see Lin Qianrou's state. Would she throw a tantrum at him? Would she make a deal out of it? 

He'd never felt this kind of a pain in his heart with other women before Qian. She'd made him feel emotions he'd never known he had before. She made him feel complete and worthy.

For once in his life, he was scared that Qian wouldn't want him anymore. He was at a loss regarding what to do anymore. 

He went inside his home and he suddenly felt that it was empty. No matter how luxurious the furniture and decors were, it left him a sense of loss not seeing Qian right now. 

"Master Wen?" The housekeeper met him in the hallway leading to the master bedroom. 

"Auntie, why are you still awake?" He asked. 

"I'm waiting for you. Madam sent someone to take all her things this evening." The old housekeeper explained. 

Xu Wenyang felt like someone had painfully stabbed him on his chest. Qian left him? She already moved out without waiting for his explanation? 

'Why wouldn't she? You idiot. You've just killed the love and she's had enough of you.' 

His hands shook and his lips pressed in a thin line. "I see. Is that all?" 

The old woman shook her head and excused herself, leaving Xu Wenyang alone in the hallway. When she was gone, he dreaded to see the half-empty room he shared with his wife. He opened the door and was shocked to see that there wasn't a thing missing inside of it. 

Didn't the housekeeper say Qian had taken her things? Then why were all the jewelry he'd given to her still in her vanity? 

He looked around and checked their walk-in closet and bathroom. Nothing much had moved, but when he checked the space where Lin Qianrou usually kept her old stuff, he realized that she didn't take anything he'd given her. 

Taking a seat on the edge of their bed, his eyes caught a slim folder on top of his bedside table. Flipping it to see the content, his fingers shook. 

Qian had gifted him the divorce papers a day after their third anniversary.
