The white shirts and jeans she used to buy at night markets, which were her usual attire, now felt somehow wrong. The perfectly fitted jeans seemed to make her feel suffocated, and even the simplest white shirt had some uncomfortable angles.
Shui Jing sighed, feeling frustrated!
Her daughter Zhihui was so cute. After a year of separation, divorce seemed inevitable, but would he really be willing to give her custody?
Although Guan Longji promised her a generous alimony that would be enough for ten lifetimes, she didn’t quite believe he would agree to divorce so easily.
After reconciling with Dong Yilin, she told her friend the reason for her memory loss.
“He’s a pervert! Giving me houses, diamonds, and jewelry, I refused his bribery, and he actually tried to sexually assault me… I fell into the sea while trying to escape! I have no memory of what happened after that.”
Remembering his past attempt to rape her, Shui Jing’s resentment remained.
“Do you think I should forgive him?”
“Uh…” Dong Yilin scratched her head, “This is a difficult question! It does sound like Guan Longji is despicable! But… your marriage seems quite harmonious…”
Seeing Shui Jing glaring at her, Dong Yilin automatically fell silent.
However… unable to seduce with money, actually using violence to want to obtain the woman he likes, really doesn’t know if Guan Longji is a madman or a pervert! Dong Yilin thought.
Perhaps he is both!
Third month of separation.
Shuijing has gradually gotten used to the silent dinners with Guan Longji.
He eats little, focusing more on looking at her. Previously, Shuijing would glare back unhappily, but now she’s used to it and doesn’t mind, though she’s puzzled: With his gloomy personality, why would everyone unanimously praise him as a good husband? Even the Jiang family elders and Pengyi have spoken up to plead for him?
Zhang Yumei helped answer her doubts, “It’s simple! Because the master is madly in love with you. As long as you act coquettish and smile, even if you ask for the moon in the sky, the master would help you get it…”
Seeing Shuijing’s displeased expression, Zhang Yumei quickly changed the subject, “I think the master seems to have lost some weight recently and looks tired. I wonder if he’s too busy with work?”
