1287: He Was Devastated

He Was Devastated

Hence, any conflict between husband and wife could be resolved by sleeping together as long as they were not matters of principles. If once was not enough, twice would be more favorable. 1

Gu Juexi agreed to the method. He asked Ye Yuwei about it after and was given a soft smack. He chuckled and held his wife's hand as they went back to sleep.

Ye Yuwei was still worried about Nalan Chunbo being sick. Gu Juexi, however, was quite happy with the outcome, given that Nalan Chunbo would not be returning soon. It gave them ample time to resolve their issues. 

Ye Yuwei felt the same, although she had her own doubts.

They were unsure of the reason why Nalan Chunbo was sick.

The doctor in the fishing village claimed that Nalan Chunbo had had a mild heart attack, so it was better for him to rest in a quiet place.

Wen Shan was the only one who could agitate Nalan Chunbo now, so she did not dare enter his room. She only allowed herself to take a peek at the door of his room, then she would go and prepare meals for him.

However, sometimes Nalan Chunbo would not even eat whatever she prepared. He would just throw it away.

Like today.

Wen Shan looked at the broken bowl by the door. Looking at the tightly closed door, she squatted down slowly and picked up the broken pieces on the floor. Some of the soup splashed on her legs and hurt her.

She even cut her own finger while she was cleaning up the mess. It seemed like all of her grief emerged when her finger got cut, like the blood oozing out of it. 

'What's the purpose of all this? Why do I yearn for that man so badly?'

Her tears fell on the floor. Some splashed into the soup.

It had happened so many times now. Over and over again.

Wen Shan stuck around, not caring about her own image and pride. She knew that he always chased her away, but she still followed him shamelessly.

'But what did I get in the end?'

Wen Shan squatted down on the floor. Her cries became louder, and she hugged her knees tightly. She did not want anybody to see her tears.

Bai Ying watched the scene from afar, but she didn't go to Wen Shan.

Nalan Chunbo leaned against the door in his room and listened to her stifled sobs outside of the room. They tore his heart open. He clenched his fists tightly and scolded angrily, "Get lost! Stop pestering me!"

'Go! Go ahead and find someone who will truly love you.'

Wen Shan listened to the voice from within the room, stood up and looked at the tightly closed door. "I will leave. You don't have to chase me away anymore, Nalan Chunbo. I will not like you anymore starting from today," shouted Wen Shan before turning around and leaving.

Nalan Chunbo slid down the door slowly and sat on the floor. His body trembled in grief.

'She will not like me anymore.'

At last, he had heard what he wanted.

'But why do I feel like my heart is being ripped open?'

Bai Ying looked at Wen Shan who had just run away, then glanced at the tightly closed door. She pondered for a while before picking up her cat and leaving the place.

Needless to say, Ye Yuwei was rather surprised to receive a call from her mother.

She was still at the bank when she heard Bai Ying's voice. There was a moment when she felt like bursting into tears. "Mom."

Bai Ying replied softly, "What's wrong with your brother?" 

What's wrong with him?

Ye Yuwei was stunned. "I wanted to ask you the same thing. I called before, and they said that he's sick. What happened?"

"That's what I wanted to ask. What happened exactly? He's devastated now. He even chased Wen Shan away just now," Bai Ying said, frowning. 

Ye Yuwei stood up immediately, accidentally knocking a pen off the table. "Did my brother have a nervous breakdown?"

So they had not succeeded. They had not managed to resolve that issue before Nalan Chunbo's nervous breakdown.
