C72 She Hated Her Calm Appearance
Ji Nian thought that if it was in ancient times, she would definitely be the best example of respecting the virtue of a woman. But this was in modern times. For her to say such words, it could only be said that her marriage was very sad.
She did not know how she could tolerate it. She could still calmly speak for the woman who was carrying her husband's child. Even if Lu Shaocheng and Qiao An'er had known each other for a long time, his wife was her. If he had some sense of responsibility, he shouldn't have bothered Qiao An'er, but he didn't.
He had been disloyal to this marriage from the beginning. Why would she need to worry about him?
Lu Zhendong did not expect Ji Nian to be so calm. She was neither noisy nor noisy. She just lightly smiled and said that it was okay. The anger in Lu Zhendong's heart suddenly cooled down. He saw clearly that there was not a trace of smile in Ji Nian's eyes. She was as calm as a pool of stagnant water. She probably had given up on this marriage long ago. That was why she was not sad or angry.
He took a deep breath and lowered his head to sigh heavily. "What kind of sin did she commit?"
At this moment, Lu Shaocheng inexplicably turned his eyes to Ji Nian, who was unusually calm. She was always so cold and indifferent, and always did not care about anything. She must have never treated him as her husband! A trace of flame inexplicably jumped up from his eyes.
Qiao An'er stayed in Lu family that night and Tang Xiufen specially asked someone to clean up a room for her. It was diagonally opposite of Lu Shaocheng and Ji Nian's bedroom.
With her current situation, she naturally could not stay in the same room as Lu Shaocheng. Tang Xiufen was very concerned about Qiao An'er and kept telling her what she lacked. Lu family would definitely not treat her unfairly.
Qiao An'er had always been gentle and obedient with a smile. Tang Xiufen liked her more and more and Ji Nian only knew how to smile like a wooden log and not a gentle woman like Qiao An'er.
Qiao An'er occasionally looked at the bedroom diagonally opposite her. She felt that she was like a concubine now and was also an unnamed concubine. If it was not for the child in her womb, Tang Xiufen would not treat her so well.
Ji Nian folded the clothes that she had just put into the closet and Lu Shaocheng came in at this time. She looked at him but did not say anything and continued with the work in her hands.
Lu Shaocheng looked at the busy woman. He still remembered that when she married him, she did not do anything good. She did not know how to cook, nor did she know how to fold clothes. He used this to make things difficult for her. He mocked and mocked her every day. Now that he thought about it, he really did not have enough men at that time. But he was really angry with her.
At first, she would have felt wronged and her eyes would have turned red. It was rare that she did not complain to her grandfather. He thought that if he continued to make things difficult for her, she would not be able to help but complain or make a divorce.
He had clearly underestimated her. The more he made things difficult for her, the more he made things difficult for her. The more she worked hard, the more she learned how to cook. She spent time learning how to iron the suit he was wearing and how to fold his clothes neatly and beautifully. She put them in the closet in an orderly manner.
She knew that he had a mysophobia. Every time before returning to Gui Du, she would sweep the house clean and change the bedding into new ones.
He said that she was not allowed to enter his room without his permission, so she really didn't want to enter.
Slowly, she would do whatever he said, and he would call her around as if it was natural. Sometimes, she did so well that he couldn't be picky, so he had no reason to make things difficult for her.
But the more it was like this, the angrier he was. How could she tolerate so much? Why didn't she jump up and argue with him loudly? How could she be so calm?
He really hated her calm appearance!
He strode over and suddenly pulled Ji Nian, who was squatting and putting the clothes under the closet, up. He angrily threw the folded clothes in her hands to the side.
"Is there no one at home? When was it your turn to do these trifles?" He was full of irritation. He was annoyed when he saw her do these things!
Ji Nian was shocked by his sudden actions and was stunned. "These things have always been done by me. Oh right, the new suit sent over from Italy last time I hung it here for you. If you want to wear it..."
"Ji Nian!" He gloomily interrupted her. It was these trivial family matters again. Did they not have anything else to say between them?
"What's wrong?" Ji Nian increasingly felt that this man was very strange. She had helped Qiao An'er put in a good word for him today. Shouldn't he be thanking her? Why did he still come here with an unhappy expression to mess up the clothes that she had painstakingly folded and wanted to make things difficult for her again?
"Lu Shaocheng, you are going to be a father soon. Don't be so cold and aggressive. When you are with Qiao An'er, smile more. This way, she will be in a good mood and treat the child in her womb well." She brushed his hand away and prepared to fold the clothes that he had thrown into disorder again.
However, Lu Shaocheng held onto her tightly and did not let go. His eyes were filled with a cold light. He gritted his teeth and said, "You still want me to accompany her?" He only blurted out these words instinctively. He did not understand. In the past, she had also pushed him into Qiao An'er. She had never been so angry like now.
Ji Nian had a strange expression. "Of course. She is pregnant now. You have to accompany her more. I have helped you take out your pajamas. You can accompany her tonight." She did not need to put on a face that seemed like she owed him a lot to affect her sleep here.
"Ji Nian, do you mean we are going to be separated?" His face was dark, and when he looked down at her, he had an oppressive aura.
A big question mark appeared on Ji Nian's head. She wanted to laugh but did not laugh. Instead, she asked, "Don't we have always been separated?"
In Gui Du, he did not often go back. When he went back, he would also sleep in his own room. Although they lived in the same room in Lu family, when did she not sleep on the sofa? What was the difference between this and living separately?
Lu Shaocheng's expression was even colder. The joints on his hand that held her arm were white because he used too much force.2
"Ji Nian, are you only satisfied if we divorce?" He asked angrily. The flames in his eyes were burning. It was as if she had replied an answer that he was not satisfied with, and those flames would shoot out and burn her to death.
Divorce? She suddenly fell silent. He probably wanted to divorce her at all times. Maybe if she nodded, he would immediately send the divorce agreement in front of her.
She lowered her eyes. Qiao An'er entered the Lu family because she was carrying a child. If she agreed to divorce, then she would be very miserable in this marriage and would be immediately suppressed.
She was ordered by him like a servant for two years. She did not get any benefits and was divorced by him? She had already generously accepted his women and children outside. Now, she still wanted to give up Mrs Lu's name? There must be a limit to bullying, right?
Was there really such a good thing in the world? Did he think of Ji Nian as the Virgin Mary? Why did he want her to weakly give up her position to another woman like a punching bag?
Grandma and Grandpa Lu both said that they could not divorce, and she would not marry anyone else even if she divorced. This marriage was wrong from the beginning, so it had to be wrong to the end. They had made it so difficult for her, so why should she give up her position to them?
When she looked up again, she had a determined look. "No, I never thought of divorce. If you want to consider Qiao An'er's future reputation, then... In front of outsiders, I can be the mother of the child." As for whether Qiao An'er was willing or not, that was not the question she wanted to ask.
When Lu Shaocheng heard her words, he inexplicably calmed down. The flames in his eyes also faded, as if he was somewhat satisfied with her answer.
Restraining his imposing manner, he suddenly pulled her into his embrace and said slowly, "Alright, then let's live a good life in the future." He closed his eyes, and the tiredness in his heart eased.
