Red Strings

Chapter 37

Now that it's just the two of us, I'm feeling a bit awkward but then stuffed in in the back of my head and just acted.

"Yi Wei... let's just forgive A'liu for today... okay? She doesn't mean no harm she-she's just worrying for me... I'll tell her to apologize after this" with a shaky voice, I wring my fingers and acted timidly to him.

"Apologize? Does she even know that word?" I could hear a tinge of annoyance in him.

Well, he did held back after hearing A'liu's defamation to him a few moments ago, for this day, just give in to him.

"Yi Wei..." I trailed off, my eyes getting a bit misty, it's a skill that I've learned in my past lives after all a woman crying beautifully can arouse a man's pity.

I'm guessing that he's An Yi Wei is in that spectrum after all with just a teary eyed look from Shaoyan he would bring anything to make her smile.

"Caia Xiu" he called me by my full name and that means he's serious, just by looking at his dark pools you can see the solemnity on it.

"Yes?"

"I had never strayed nor had an affair, ever"

I remained calm and his the shock coursing in my body by piercing my palm with my nails, as if the pain would make me feel sober.

In all of my past lives, this is the first time that he admitted himself that he had never been on an a secret romance with someone.

Although the media and the rumors swirling around him says that he's having an affair, I have never personally seen him admit or do that.

He's a principled man, he would not let any stain dirtied his reputation and lose the family's face.

He didn't got into a relationship with Shaoyan when I was still his wife but got entangled with her after I was divorced.

Throughout the entire time, it was just the actress Caia Xiu who thinks that he's having an affair just because she heard it and was swayed by everyone she knew.

I wanted to say that I already knew, that it's been so long since I've learned of that fact but my body still won't admit it. It's like taking drugs unconsciously even though you knew that it's not good for your body.

"I- I don't... I uh-"

I still can't.

I can't say any spoilers nor stray off my character, it's never going to happen, it's like someone is clutching my lips and refusing me to speak.

I saw the brewing anger in his eyes, to know that the person you're supposed to live with for the rest of your life doesn't trust you, it's an infuriating moment.

"I'm going now you..." I didn't notice the turbulence in his eyes and was still stuck on my thoughts" "-go with your friend, call someone to drive you after"

I watch him turn his back on me and left, my palm slightly bleeding from the injury that is shaped into half moons with my nails.

I look at the sky and sigh, even though some things are changing, it seems like it's still not enough.

It's never enough.

"Caia!"

I heard A'liu's voice as I walk in to the café, she was smiling jovially and waving her hand to me. Her brows were uplifted, it seems like everything turned out great for her.

"What took you so long!" She pouted while I sat beside her and smiled.

"Yi Wei was called by mom so he left early, you don't mind me tagging along with the two of you right?"

"Of course!" I look at Zhu Rong Heng but he just nodded at me with a smile.

Soon, I finally became a lightbulb for the first time and watch A'liu's hopping as she went to different places together with Zhu Rong Heng who had retain his smile throughout the day.

...
