It was half an hour before noon when Bai Yucheng suddenly returned home.
From the moment he walked in, Bai Yucheng's expression and behavior showed a strangeness, and he looked unnatural and guilty everywhere.
Chan'er was sitting in the middle of the yard picking vegetables. When she saw her husband coming back early, she got up and went to greet him. At the same time, she asked: "Why are you back so early? You and your cousin just reconciled yesterday, won't they quarrel again?"
Bai Yucheng avoided Chan'er's gaze, shook his head and said: "No, I didn't argue with her, I just walked around casually, thinking it was almost noon, so... I came back...
....”
"Oh, that's it..." Chan'er didn't think much, went over and moved a bamboo chair and placed it in the yard, saying: "Husband, you sit down first, I'll go cook after I finish picking.
Let’s eat early today, okay?”
"Okay...okay..." Bai Yucheng responded twice in a daze, and sat down slowly.
Chan'er felt a strange smell, so she stopped and asked: "Husband, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable? You kept tossing and turning last night. Did you not sleep well and caught a cold?"
Chan'er wiped her hands while talking, and touched his forehead and behind his ears. She found that he was not hot, but cooler than usual, and he felt like he was sweating a lot.
"Husband, are you worried about the restaurant?" Chan'er asked.
"Ah...yes, that's what bothers me..." Bai Yucheng pulled Chan'er's hand down as he spoke, but did not look directly at her during the whole process.
.
Chan'er stood beside Bai Yucheng and hesitated for a moment, then suddenly said seriously: "Husband, if you really can't think of a way, I can go with you to see Mr. An Huai!"
"Ah?" Bai Yucheng was startled after hearing this, and quickly turned to look at Chan'er: "What did you just say?"
Chan'er pulled a small bench from the side, sat down and said, "Husband, you already knew who was behind this, right?"
"Did you know?" Bai Yucheng asked after asking, "When did you know about it?"
Chan'er said: "The first day! That day you came back with eggs thrown at you, and they said that the restaurant was blocked by beggars. At that time, I thought that it must be Master An Huai who instigated it. No one else would do this except him.
of!"
Bai Yucheng fell silent after hearing this, and said after a long time: "Chan'er, actually this morning, I went to see Mr. An Huai..."
Chan'er was shocked and asked quickly: "Husband, what did he say? Did he agree to evacuate the beggars?"
Bai Yucheng did not answer, but continued his words: "He told me that not only would he make the beggars disappear immediately, but he would also transfer the ownership of five large shops in the city to me, as long as I...as long as
I agree...on one thing..."
"What's the matter, husband?" Chan'er didn't think much and asked as soon as Bai Yucheng finished speaking.
But after asking, Chan'er's heart "thumped", and an ominous omen enveloped her.
"Husband... Husband..." Chan'er seemed to understand what was going on. She was panicked and couldn't help shaking her head vigorously, and said: "No...it's not
That’s what I thought...right, husband? Right..."
Bai Yucheng didn't dare to look at Chan'er's face, he just lowered his head and nodded sadly and vigorously, three times in a row, each time like a heavy hammer hitting Chan'er's heart.
After Chan'er was stunned, she instantly fell into a state of despair. She got up and ran into the house. Bai Yucheng didn't know what she was going to do, so he hurriedly chased after her.
When she chased her into the house, she saw that Chan'er had already run to the closet. She opened the closet with all her strength and took out her clothes one by one.
"Chan'er, stop and listen to me!"
When Bai Yucheng spoke, he had already rushed over, hugged Chan'er's waist with both hands, and then dragged her aside.
"Chan'er, listen to me. Can you listen to me first?"
Bai Yucheng hugged Chan'er tightly and put his lips behind her ear.
Chan'er broke away for a while and then stopped moving. She said blankly: "Bai Yucheng, why did you give me to another man again? Why? Why..."
Bai Yucheng's mind was spinning rapidly, and after a moment he said: "Chan'er, calm down, I'm telling you, this time we have a discussion, it's not what you think... It only takes one year, one year."
good!"
In fact, when Bai Yucheng met An Huai, there was no such thing as "one year". Bai Yucheng saw Chan'er's sudden and unusual behavior, so he came up with the idea to deceive her first. In short, he had to first
Just stabilize Chan'er so that she can get to An Huai smoothly!
"One year?" Chan'er shook her head unable to accept it, and said sadly and painfully: "I am your wife, but you want to give me to someone else for one year. How could you do such a cruel thing?"
Bai Yucheng felt resentful at Chan'er's scolding. He pushed her out of his arms and asked for her, "You said you are my wife. Well, where is the marriage certificate? As long as you can take out the official marriage certificate."
, I will immediately admit everything you said!"
"Bai Yucheng!"
Suddenly, Chan'er let out a heartbreaking cry, and then she pointed at Bai Yucheng with tears streaming down her face, and said with heartache and heartbreak: "You...your heart...is too...
So cruel!"
Bai Yucheng saw that he had gotten to this point, so he secretly gritted his teeth and continued: "Chan'er, listen to me, Mr. An Huai really likes you. Look, he has just turned eighteen now.
has become
He has become the leader of the entire Youlong Clan. This is simply a once-in-a-hundred-year experience. How amazing! From now on, as long as you follow him peacefully, listen to him, and serve him, you will have inexhaustible glory and wealth.
ah!"
When he said these words, Bai Yucheng's expression and tone were exaggerated to the extreme, making people think that he wanted to become a woman if he had the chance, and then follow and serve Mr. An Huai, a perfect man in the world!
"No, I won't go!" Chan'er shook her head and resolutely rejected Bai Yucheng's lobbying. Then she ran to the closet and packed up quickly.
Bai Yucheng wanted to pull Chan'er away, but Chan'er didn't give him a chance. After pushing and slapping him several times, he pushed Bai Yucheng to the ground.
"It will kill people!"
Bai Yucheng sat on the ground and suddenly shouted, scaring Chan'er's movements to a stop.
When Bai Yucheng saw that this was effective, he stood up quickly and said while the iron was hot: "Chan'er, you know, if I don't agree to him, not only will I not be able to live, but your cousin will not be able to live either. He will use all means to kill us."
, Wuwu... Wuwuwu..."
At the end of the words, Bai Yucheng covered his face and cried bitterly, his voice desperate and helpless...
Chan'er's face turned pale and she looked exhausted. She moved feebly to the chair beside her, slumped down and sat down, falling into silence and speechlessness for a long time.
While crying, Bai Yucheng peeked at Chan'er through the gaps between his fingers. Seeing Chan'er's look like this, the big stone hanging in his heart dropped halfway. At the same time, he thought to himself: If this is the case, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait until tomorrow!
