On the way back to the capital, Tang Yili's mind was completely in chaos.
For the first time, she was confused about the future. She didn't know the next road, how to go, and where to go. The courage to realize her dream seemed to be cut into pieces under the scissors of the border inspector.
Following Wang Zhanshan back to the capital, Tang Yili sadly discovered that after a long period of planning and trembling escape, he finally came full circle and returned to the starting point.
She was sent again to the cage prepared for her by Xun Lang.
The future will be lifeless days again.
Is this her fate?
Tang Yili didn't know, he was really confused.
Tang Yili arrived home at one o'clock in the afternoon, and the nanny had already prepared lunch. Everything was as usual, which further proved that she had never walked out of Xun Lang's palm.
After lunch, she took a nap. Her dreams were all strange and strange, and she slept very uneasily.
At about 6:30 in the evening, Xun Lang came home from get off work and Tang Yili walked out of the bedroom without turning on the light.
When she saw the light, she subconsciously covered her eyes.
Xun Lang was taking off his coat, slowly, and his eyes were fixed on Tang Yili. His eyes were deep, like an ancient well without waves, and there was no hint of happiness or anger.
Tang Yili subconsciously ignored him, not wanting him to take off his watch while looking at her.
"You, you came back so early." Tang Yili heard his voice going dry.
Xun Lang casually put his coat on the back of the sofa, "Yes, I agreed yesterday to come back and cook for you."
"But," Xun Lang walked over, "Maybe you don't have the heart to eat it."
He grabbed Tang Yili's chin and forced her to raise her head.
Perhaps because of the low temperature outside, Xun Lang carried a chill all the way to his fingertips, which made people shrink back. However, Tang Yili had no choice but to face Xun Lang.
She failed to escape and was caught, but she had nothing to say.
But it was this attitude that caught Xun Lang's eyes, and his unrepentant look instantly made him angry.
He frowned slightly, and it was difficult to distinguish the emotions in his eyes: "Tang Yili, what did you say yesterday?"
——What are your plans for tomorrow?
--go to work.
——What time will you go home?
——At seven o'clock.
It's not that he didn't give her a chance, but Tang Yili still turned the above conversation into a lie.
"Is this what I give you in return for my trust?"
"You asked me to remove my bodyguard just to apply for a visa and then run away? Is this what you said, are you afraid that I won't love you?" Xun Lang suddenly smiled, as if he thought this was such a ridiculous thing.
"Tang Yili, have you already been so hypocritical towards me?!"
Tang Yili looked at him without saying a word. Under her extremely plain makeup, her eyes and nose were flushed with tears. She didn't cry, let alone beg for mercy, she just spoke calmly.
"Knowing that I was going to France, you took advantage of the situation and removed the bodyguards just to leave a loophole for me to take advantage of. It was stupid of me to actually believe it."
"Xun Lang, when it comes to hypocrisy, I'm afraid you are even more serious. Otherwise, what husband would dig a trap and deliberately let his wife jump?"
The tears finally fell uncontrollably, rolling down his face one by one and falling on Xun Lang's hands.
Like a scalding bean, Xun Lang instinctively wanted to withdraw his hand, but once he let go, he was afraid that he would never be able to touch Tang Yili again, so he squeezed tighter and his eyes became colder.
"In your eyes, everything I do is just a trap for you to jump into?" Xun Lang sneered, not knowing whether he was asking himself or the person in front of him, "What else is there in this world?"
If you can’t get it, what else can I not give you?”
Xun Lang turned and grabbed the back of her head.
"Tang Yili, tell me."
Tang Yili was not to be outdone, "It's freedom! It's a dream!"
"You also had a dream, why couldn't you make it come true for me?! I went to France just to experience a new way of thinking. I went to have a try and see the outside world. Xun Lang, you also had a dream...
"
She cried and repeated, "You also had dreams," but Xun Lang smiled heartbrokenly.
"Yes, Tang Yili, I also had dreams, but now, where have my dreams gone?"
Tang Yili was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, "It turns out that you have always been worried about retiring, right? You were forced to retire just to marry me... In your opinion, it was me who harmed me.
You interrupted your dream, I owe you..."
"I don't deserve to pursue my dreams, is that what you mean?!"
"If what I have done for you is considered moral kidnapping by you," after a brief pause, Xun Lang said coldly, "Yes, that's right, I can retire for you, why can't you stay in the country?"
Stay with me."
"After all these years, you should do something for me, Tang Yili. A person must repay kindness."
Is there only kindness left between them as husband and wife?
"Okay, I'll repay you." Tang Yili took a deep breath, feeling no longer sentimental, "You want me to sacrifice my career and my personal freedom. This is what you want, and I'll give it to you."
Xun Lang didn't say anything, but just released his restraining hand. After breaking free, Tang Yili took a big step back in embarrassment and shook his head gently.
"Actually, it doesn't matter whether I want it or not. If you want to control me, you already have it under control. You have installed bodyguards, monitored my whereabouts, and even installed bugs in the car."
She already knew it.
Xun Lang's eyes suddenly changed color, but only for a moment, they returned to clarity.
They have lost trust in each other for a long time. Their relationship is so riddled with holes that they may not even be able to mend it.
Tang Yili's eyes were filled with tears, and every word he spoke was full of emotion.
"Xun Lang, what you hate most is Ji Nanyun's control over you. But what is the difference between what you did to me and what Ji Nanyun did to you?! You father and son did the same thing."
"Unknowingly, you have become the person you hate the most, Xun Lang, you are the second Ji Nanyun!"
"The way you love me is no different from loving a pet. In essence, I am a cat you raise. You say you love me and you like me, but it is actually the same as liking a cat."
"If I had known earlier that your fate would be to be treated like an animal and locked in a cage by you, I would never have taken the initiative to provoke you."
Xun Lang became increasingly restless, but his eyes became calm.
He asked: "Do you regret it?"
Tang Yili's face was covered with tears. She was stretched to the limit after a day of suffering, exhaustion and disappointment.
She replied dumbly: "Yes, I regret it."
"If possible, I hope we are not married."
And the way to correct this mistake is very simple, that is, divorce.
They thought of this at the same time.
Their eyes met, each filled with fragmented despair.
