Su Chen’s tone was abnormally gloomy, and the emotions condensed in his eyes were also exceptionally complicated. He might not even realize how much emotions he had been containing within himself all this time.
He did not want to touch any topic such as love. All he knew was that he was feeling extremely furious and anxious because of the wound on her arm and the coldness on her face.
“I met him only because of his sister. If you don’t even have basic trust in me, then there’s no need for me to explain further. Su Chen, you’re getting more and more unreasonable now. You are so naive that you want to lay your fingers on Dong Wentao because of such a trivial matter. If that’s what you want, then I have nothing else to say. Just go and do whatever you want!”
Ji Zitong was also trying her best to suppress the wrath in her chest while glaring at him coldly. “Also, do you know why Wang Yanran came looking for me? Apart from questioning me and Dong Wentao as always, she thought I was deliberately challenging her!”
“I’m the unreasonable one? Ji Zitong, think about it yourself. Who am I doing this for? Are you saying that you’d feel bad when I act on him? Do you dare to admit that you feel bad for him?” Su Chen’s firm and handsome face became so somber as he thought about the concern that he felt deep down as well as her reaction to his feelings. All of those were just a shits*ack full of f*cking karma!
“I simply can’t communicate with you. You can think however you like and whatever you like!” Ji Zitong took a deep breath and did not want to argue with him anymore. She swiftly stood up to walk out of the door and go downstairs.
“Sit down. We’re not done yet!” As soon as Ji Zitong took her first stride, Su Chen’s raging roar came from her back, almost startling her. “I want to listen to the reasons that you can come up with. Don’t you forget that you’re now Mrs. Su, my wife. Your name is printed on the spouse column of my household register. So, this is how you do things, huh? Partnering up with that b*stard Dong Wentao to point fingers at your own husband? I see, so you’ve grown a pair ever since our marriage, huh? What will you benefit from all these? I’ll admit that I made his life a little harsh, but even if I don’t make a move, does he intend to get promoted with this shitty performance and attitude of his? You really are naïve!
“Not to mention the municipal committee, he wouldn’t even make it through our internal discipline inspection. I only gave them some information that they want as a favor, so why not?” As Su Chen sneered and sat down opposite Ji Zitong, he took out a cigarette packet from his pocket fretfully. He pulled a cigarette out, lit it, and took a puff. He then glanced at Ji Zitong and saw her frowning unpleasantly, so he exhaled and snub out the cigarette that had just been lit in the ashtray on the side.
“It doesn’t matter what you think. You should remember that he’s someone that should’ve been eliminated from your life long ago, so you’d better don’t meet him that often in the future. I don’t want to suspect anything. When a relationship has ended, I’d rather see a clean-cut between both parties in the end instead of hanging around on strands. I would at least feel more relieved if you took my feelings into consideration.”
Su Chen allayed the rage in his chest. “Sometimes, trying to be a good person isn’t an easy thing to accomplish. If either one of us were to bring any endless trouble back home, we’re the only ones who’ll suffer at the end of the day. If you haven’t been able to truly divert your mind from him, then you’ll never be able to truly let go of the relationship.”
Ji Zitong was taken aback for a second when she heard that. The tiny reflection in her eyes flickered. She then took a breath, lowered her gaze, and said in a soft voice, “I don’t care what you think. I’ve explained everything that should be explained. I admit that I might have troubled you with this matter, but there’s nothing between Dong Wentao and me. We’re innocent. But, Su Chen, no matter how powerful you’re in the precinct, you should never abuse your authority over the people. I don’t care who the victim is!”
“I’ve abused my authority?” As soon as he heard these words, the wrath in Su Chen’s chest rekindled instantly and he was on the brink of losing it again. He did not know what it would take for him to suppress the uproar from within his chest. “You’ve been married to me for so long. Do you think I’m such a person?”
Ji Zitong did not answer him as she turned around and looked out of the window.
Su Chen’s expression was abnormally gloomy while he stared at Ji Zitong fixedly. Seeing that she did not respond, a hint of sadness could be sensed flashing at the depths of his eyes. He then gave a self-deprecating scoff. “I don’t know. Maybe in your eyes, I’ve become a despicable scoundrel while Dong Wentao has always been the gentleman. It’s true. I’ve always known that I’ve never been a good man.”
“That’s not what I meant.” Hearing his downcast and dejected tone, Ji Zitong explained softly, “I’m only displeased with the way you do things, and you don’t even trust me.”
“Then, what about you? Have you ever trusted me? If so, why did you prevaricate with me and give me such a reason? Ji Zitong, trust is a mutual feeling. No matter how much trust I have in you, it won’t help if you yourself are on guard against me all the time.”
Su Chen turned around and gazed at her. “I have no magnanimity, especially when it comes to dealing with women and relationships. I’ve always been honest with you, but you...Forget it. I’ll be away from Z City for a few days. You’re injured, so you should rest well. I’ve asked Auntie Wang and the others to come over and take care of you.”
Su Chen’s eyes were very dim. He knew he could not control his temper at this moment, but naturally, he did not want to hurt her because he was irrational, so he felt that it was best if they have their own space and time to calm down. Therefore, after telling her his plan for the next few days, he turned around and left without looking back.
Bang!
There was a loud thud when the door closed as if a sledgehammer had just slammed Ji Zitong’s heart. She felt a feeling of asphyxiation at that instant. She turned her head subconsciously and stared at the empty doorway, and for some reason, she suddenly felt a faint warmth in her eyes.
This feeling was naturally unfamiliar to her, but now, especially after she married him, her state of mind and emotions were no longer as controllable as they had been before.
After a while, she blinked her eyes and raised her arms to wipe away the moisture that had condensed at the corners of her eyes. With a deep breath, she walked upstairs silently.
“Su Chen!” Su Chen had just walked out of the door when his sister, Su Yu, called out to him. She was waiting for him outside. Obviously, she suspected something had happened between the couple.
“Sis, why are you still here? I thought you’ve gone back.” Su Chen flicked the cigarette between his fingers as he frowned at Su Yu who was waiting by the side.
“Okay, get into the car. I know that you’re catching the eight o’clock flight. There’s still some time.”
“I need to get back to the precinct for a while.” Su Chen took a glimpse at her.
“Get into the car. I’ll drive you there!” Su Yu’s tone sounded like she would not take ‘no’ as an answer. Furthermore, her glare rang with a sense of warning. Su Chen glanced at her, then strode towards the passenger seat and got into the car.
