CHAPTER 981: CHAPTER 982: IT’S ALL MY FAULT

Seeing that Hualing didn’t react at all to his words, Chen Shouwang couldn’t help feeling uneasy, his lips pressed together.

Ever since that incident happened, he had been waiting on her like a grandson, not even daring to breathe too loudly, terrified of doing something that would annoy her. It’s been so long, yet she still didn’t show him a good face.

What else did he have to do to please her?

Thinking of Qi Taiguo and his wife going out together, he felt envious and said, "There’s a social gathering at the barracks today, do you want to go see it? I heard there are a lot of programs prepared."

How could he even have the audacity to suggest going to the gathering!

Hualing snorted coldly, throwing out a stiff response: "Go for what? Isn’t it embarrassing enough? Instead of hiding yourself, you want to flaunt it? Do you think you’re doing well?"

As soon as she spoke, Chen Shouwang’s face turned pale, his lips pressed tightly together.

Hualing herself felt a bit annoyed after saying that. She had tried to persuade herself to let go, but seeing Chen Shouwang’s apologetic behavior irritated her. She would think about why he was being so apologetic and would think of that woman.

Chen Shouwang lowered his head: "If you don’t want to go, then we won’t go."

Seeing this, Hualing became even angrier; why not argue back or resist?

What was this? It was like hitting a cotton ball, what did it mean?

"Do you feel wronged?" Hualing asked coldly, "Do you feel particularly wronged by the way I treat you?"

Chen Shouwang gave a bitter smile and said, "I brought this on myself, didn’t I? Whatever you do is right, the wrong is all mine."

Hualing’s face was as dark as ink, and she said, "Of course, it’s all your fault. Is it my fault? Was I the one messing around outside?"

"It’s me, it’s all me, so you’re right." Chen Shouwang lifted his head and looked at her steadily, saying, "The fault lies with me, but for me being with someone else outside, don’t you bear any responsibility at all?"

"What do you mean?" Hualing gritted her teeth, "Did I tell you to cheat?"

She was so angry that her chest heaved; here it was, finally here, the argument was happening, to pin the blame!

Chen Shouwang’s eyes were a bit evasive, looking at her, and it was as if he was looking past her to see something else.

He spoke in a calm voice, "I know that I’m not good enough for you, marrying you was the greatest blessing of my life, so I was determined to satisfy you, to treat you well, and do whatever I could for you. When you said you wanted a fan, my allowance was only so much, not enough, so I borrowed from a loan shark, afraid that you would be unhappy. Later, when I couldn’t repay, I sold my blood, that was my fault, my pride. Let’s forget about it this time, later, you had other demands, it wasn’t that I didn’t want to fulfill them, I just had limited ability. I hoped you would understand me, but you didn’t, you just thought I was useless. So, we started arguing, and we argued nonstop, later I was afraid to be at home, afraid of arguing with you, afraid that if you wanted something and I couldn’t do it, you’d make a scene. So, I went out, and met Liu Li’s tavern, and met her..."

"Stop it!" Hualing gritted, tears flowing fiercely, angrily said, "These are not reasons, they’re not!"

"Indeed, they are not. It’s my lack of willpower, drawn to a little gentle understanding, all my fault, it’s my fault that we ended up like this, I don’t blame you, I only blame myself." Chen Shouwang looked at her, and tears silently flowed down, "It’s just, I was wrong, I want to make it up, but are you really not willing to give me any chance? Not willing to trust me one more time?"

Hualing covered her face and sobbed uncontrollably.
