CHAPTER 233: CHAPTER 232: WANTING TO ESCAPE

"Nuannuan, don’t be like this." Leng Yan wiped his face in frustration and lowered his voice, "You know I’m atoning for my sins!"

He didn’t know how to explain this to her, "Do you think I should become cold-blooded, and not take any responsibility or make any amends for the mistakes I’ve made in the past? Would that make me a good man?"

Closing his eyes, Leng Yan exhaled gently, "Nuannuan, would you still love me if I were like that?"

Wen Nuan bit her lower lip tightly.

She didn’t like such a Leng Yan.

She didn’t like cold-blooded men, but her heart was full of contradictions. This kind of marriage made her want to escape. Yet, she found it hard to let go of him.

"She won’t deliberately destroy our relationship. I’ve made it very clear to her that I have a wife and it’s impossible between us." Leng Yan tried to persuade her slowly, "She knows that the one I love now is you."

"But what she’s doing now is trying to ruin our relationship. She clearly fell into the water but pretended she couldn’t swim..."

Wen Nuan hated her current self, needing to repeatedly talk about something to prove a point.

"She can’t swim! Nuannuan, she really can’t." Leng Yan started to have a headache, Little one, won’t you trust me? "The day she had the incident, she even mentioned it in a message thanking me. Water is terrifying to her."

"So you believe her?"

Wen Nuan believed Tong Xi’s words more; that girl, though often outspoken, would never lie about such a thing.

But how could she make Leng Yan believe her? Or maybe, no matter what she said, he wouldn’t believe her.

He only believed Ji Wei.

"Nuannuan, maybe Ji Wei did something wrong. But in this matter, she’s telling the truth." Leng Yan slightly frowned. Nuannuan was being too obstinate today.

"I’ll try to have less contact with her in the future, so don’t dwell on this anymore, okay?" Leng Yan calmed himself, gently persuading, "Nuannuan, have a good sleep. This must be a misunderstanding by Tong Xi. Ji Wei has been afraid of water since she was a child; water once took her mom’s life, and since then, she doesn’t dare go near the river, let alone swim."

But nothing can stay the same forever.

Wen Nuan still wanted to argue, but after thinking for a moment, she gave a bitter smile at her phone.

He had rooted himself in trusting someone, and no matter how much she said, it seemed pointless.

"Are you done yet? You were on the phone when I left and still are? Truly inseparable, aren’t you?" A teasing voice came from the other end of the phone.

No doubt, it was Ye Wei.

She forced a smile towards the other end, "Ye Wei must have something to discuss with you. I won’t disturb you anymore."

She didn’t know what to say and didn’t say anything more. She felt very troubled, as if the entire room’s air couldn’t give her space to breathe and instead suffocated her.

This feeling made her want to escape!

"Nuannuan." Leng Yan called out to her, with a pain in his heart as if something was being severed.

"Go on, I need to sleep too. I have to get to work early tomorrow." Wen Nuan smiled faintly and hung up the phone.

The clock already pointed to eleven. Bored, she wanted to dig out her game console to play but accidentally stumbled upon two items.

Marriage Certificate!

The bright red booklet carried a festive color. Her mind stirred as she opened it, looking at the composite photo on it, and gave a bitter smile.

Even the marriage certificate was pieced together like this; how long could their marriage last?
