Dong Huiying couldn’t help but laugh.
Shujun squeezed her eyes at her, "You see, he cares after all!"
Dong Huiying felt slightly better. She grasped Shujun’s hand and intertwined their fingers, "Although I am not sure whether this continuation you speak of is something you made up to comfort me or if it’s true... no matter what, Shujun, thank you."
Shujun struck a pose as if clutching his heart, "My conscience is clear, every word I said is true!"
She gave a soft chuckle.
"All right, I believe it’s true."
She wanted to believe it was true, and she leaned towards it actually being the case.
At least, if it were true, that would prove Yixuan wasn’t truly heartless. At the very least, she could seize the opportunity to make amends.
Now, she felt an extremely strong impulse to go back, to see Yixuan!
To tell him that he wasn’t as unimportant in her heart as he imagined.
He was irreplaceable in her life, something no one else could ever take the place of. He had his unique spot, and he occupied an extremely important, very important place in her heart.
Suddenly, Shujun flipped over, pinning his wife beneath him.
With an evil charm, he asked, "Alright, now that we’ve finished talking about Little Liu’s matter... Dong Xiaohui, isn’t it time for you to come clean? What exactly did you do to make Yixuan so angry?"
Dong Huiying felt awkward for a moment.
Oh no, had she dug her own grave?
Shujun raised his slender brows, "Even if you don’t tell me, I think I can guess a bit. It must be related to the others at home, right? It’s certainly because you gave Little Liu the wrong impression that you don’t care about him, don’t like him, and that he’s unimportant to you, making him feel disposable, and that’s why he reacted the way he did!"
Dong Huiying was stunned.
Excuse me, but is he a Brother-reading machine?
With such thorough analysis, he must rather be a Wife-reading machine, right??
Shujun was speechless, "Why do you look so surprised?"
Dong Huiying was at a loss for words.
If she had known earlier that concealing things about Zhi Chen would lead to such a big chain reaction, she would’ve preferred death over keeping secrets.
Maybe it was a matter of differing values or perspectives on life. Something very important to her might not seem significant to others, or it might be important but not as much as it was to her.
Like wanting family harmony, hoping the brothers could get along peacefully. But it was her way of expressing this that led to the misunderstanding that had affected Yixuan.
"Shujun, there’s something I need to tell you..." She appeared sincerely apologetic.
She honestly laid out the whole story, from the causes to the consequences.
This incident served as a warning and taught her a lesson.
Between them, there could be no secrets. She had to remember this in the future because she did not want such incidents to repeat.
After Shujun heard everything, his expression became complicated.
He turned over to lie on his back, turning away from his wife.
The little wife felt totally helpless!
Done for, totally done for!
Could being honest be wrong too? Had she stirred up a hornet’s nest??
She extended a little hand and gently poked him, "Shujun... was I wrong? Please don’t be angry, okay?"
She looked absolutely pitiful, pleading for forgiveness.
Shujun deliberately ignored her.
He remained turned away, firmly insisting, "No, I am angry!!"
"You actually empathize so much with your elder brother?"
"You have to coax me, and only when you’ve done so will I pay attention to you!!"
Dong Huiying "......"
