The Most Loving Marriage In History: Master Manoban's Pampered Wife Book 2

Chapter 240: Crack (2)

Kai's still eyes observed Krystal. He fell silent for a moment, then finally he suppressed how gloomy and annoyed he felt. He picked up his phone and called Secretary Wang. "I'll get Secretary Wang to book flight tickets for you two. Let him personally send you two abroad and wait till the storm has calmed down here before returning. Don't return to Yueying now. As you said earlier, just retire and quit the showbiz."

"No, Kai! I can't leave City Z. Grandmother's already collapsed from being angered by my problem. All these were done by Sister. She's determined to ruin me, Kai. I can't leave now. What do I do? What do I do?"

Krystal reached out to hold Kai's arm, stopping him. Her face was tearful as she begged, "I'm worried about Grandmother... After all, she only fell sick because of me, Kai..."

"Then, what else do you think we can do? Can you suppress these scandals? I'm afraid Yueying has now fallen into deep trouble too!"

"I know, I know that too, but I really can't leave. I can't leave Yueying and Grandmother behind right now. My grandmother is mentally and physically worn out. The company's her life's work... You and Master Kim have a pretty steady relationship. Can we ask them to not cancel those few movies? I'll agree to change the female lead, Kai..."

Krystal begged while choking on her tears, "Sister must've wanted to seize this incident to make Yueying fall into difficulty again. She's always harbored hard feelings towards me. Even though I know that it was I who wronged her, but she forced me. She wants to ruin Yueying! She knows that it's Grandmother's life's work, yet she still..."

"Enough! Krystal, stop talking!"

As he listened to Krystal's baseless and extremely contradicting defense, Kai suddenly could not keep listening. He found it a little hard to accept that this person with whom he had spent numerous good times and shared a bed would be such an unscrupulous woman. If the evidence that Jennie collected were true, then all these years, he, Kai had actually been played within her complete control, and he had let her lead him by the nose!

He suddenly felt that he could not accept this truth!

Now, she was still trying hard to defend herself? Had she never thought about how he felt?

"You keep saying that it's for Yueying, for Grandmother... Then, when can you think for me? What about me? How are you going to explain yourself to my parents and my grandfather? Krystal, if you were willing to listen to me back then and leave the scandalous world of showbiz, then all this wouldn't have happened today! Every time, every single time, I would go along with your wishes and compromise for you, but you've never been considerate about me! And now, you're still thinking about Yueying? Thinking about inheriting Yueying, aren't you?"

Kai was suddenly enraged. He coldly turned to fix his gaze on Krystal as his tone turned cold.

"Krystal, do you not realize that you're a little selfish? What we have between us should be mutually giving in. I've accommodated you many times, yet you've never thought of putting yourself in my shoes and accommodating me just once! I'm a little tired now. If you really want to stay in City Z, then do as you wish!"

As Kai concluded with this, he stood up icily and his handsome face revealed fatigue that he had kept in for a long time.

Recently because of Krystal's matter, he was also mentally and physically worn out. He felt extraordinarily exhausted. When he really calmed down to think to himself, he realized that there had actually been more and more distance between him and Krystal. He did not know when the end would come.

Every time, when they discussed her quitting, he actually wanted to be angry, but seeing the way she pleaded so delicately, he could not bear to. This thing repeated many times until now and it seemed to have reached a point of eruption. He could not hold back in the end.

However, as he thought about these scenes, Jennie's beautiful face suddenly flashed across his mind. It was as if a very long time ago, when she had still been with him, she had been in his current situation, repeatedly putting up with him, repeatedly compromising, but he...

He finally sympathized and understood her sadness back then. The one who gave out love would always be the one that hurt most easily, yet they kept holding on to that love. Even if they were bruised all over, they still wanted to persist...

As he thought about, he did not know why, but suddenly he felt his heart ache. The stifling feeling suffocated him a little.

If everything had not changed because of that one incident back then, if he had been willing to sincerely accept his grandfather's arrangements and get engaged to Jennie, would everything be different right now?

Still, he knew that he loved Krystal. Back then, he seemed to have wanted a love that was pure and simple. Krystal was charming, gentle and considerate. Furthermore, she brought far more joy than Jennie who was always by-the-book, apathetic, and dull.

"Kai! Don't leave, Kai!"

Kai had just walked past her when Krystal had already stood up quickly and was flustered as she hugged him tightly from behind. "I'm sorry... This is the last time! Please! This will be the last time, okay?"

Kai looked down at stared at her hands wrapped around his waist as he said coldly, "Last time? How many times have you said that it'd be the last? Krystal, I'm tired of hearing these words. If you really do love me as you say, then sacrifice a little for me for once and let Yueying go for now. Leave the scandalous world. When the storm has calmed, then we'll make plans again."

"This will really be the last time. I'm begging you, Kai! After this time..." Krystal sniffed in her voice that was raspy from the crying.

Yet, before she could finish, Kai had already coolly pulled her hands away and stormed off in huge strides. "There's no last time. This time, I insist. If you're willing to consider, then accept my arrangements. Otherwise, let's separate for a while to figure things out!" Kai concluded indifferently and then took a deep breath, feeling worn out. He did not care about Krystal behind him anymore and walked up the stairs.

"Kai! Don't! Kai, listen to me! This will really be the last time! Don't do this to me, Kai!" Krystal tearfully chased him, and she wanted to tug on Kai's hand, yet he just leaned to one side and evaded her. In turn, Krystal missed him.

"I want to be alone for a while. I'll wait for your answer tomorrow. I'll tell Secretary Wang to book a flight for San Francisco tomorrow. However you choose, I will respect your decision."

"No, Kai, don't force me to choose. Please don't do this! Kai!"

No matter how Krystal wept and screamed, Kai did not pay her any attention. His stiff figure vanished at the top of the stairs very quickly.
