Chapter 251: I Love You With All My Life
“Do you think a person can suddenly become devoted to you overnight? Stop dreaming, Mo Jiangye.” Lin Jingxuan felt more than happy to continue provoking the other man when he sensed that he was beginning to waver.
“That’s a load of bull!”
BAM!
Ye Erruo coldly kicked open the unlocked door and entered the cell with a heat pad in her arms.
Wang Yiyang, who was standing outside, hurriedly rushed forward to open the door wide.
She tossed the heat pad to him. “Leave.”
“Yes, sis-in-law!”
She slowly made her way forward and spat out in disgust, “Lin Jingxuan, repeat what you just told Mo Jiangye if you have the guts.”
Lin Jingxuan immediately adopted an aggrieved look. “Xiao Ruo, you came? He locked me up here and injected me with something. He’s bent on killing me! Let’s just drop the pretense and tell him the truth. Otherwise, I’ll die for real in this place.”
The woman went up to her husband and interlocked her fingers with his. “Do you believe him?”
Mo Jiangye bit his lip as though he was struggling.
At that moment, her heart seemed to turn cold and fall right down to the pits.
After all this time with him, not only had he not understood her feelings for him, but he did not even have the most basic trust in her.
“Let’s stop acting, Xiao Ruo. Just tell him the truth. Tell him you still love me. You were with him just to use him to aid me in taking over the helm of the family,” implored Lin Jingxuan with a wretched look.
Just a little more and that bad-tempered fool will question her motive. The two of them will surely have a falling-out.
After all, he knows how much she loved me in the past.
As though she had heard nothing at all, the woman fixed her eyes on her husband’s face, her disappointment in him growing.
The sight of her ashen, crestfallen look had him pulling her into his embrace right away.
He placed a light kiss on top of her head and whispered gently to her, “Don’t be angry, Baby Ruo. If what he’s saying is true, I’ll be more than honored that you made use of me. That would mean that I have value. However, I’ll be happier knowing that this is a lie. Regardless, I’m still your husband and you’re still my wife. I believe whatever my wife says.”
Ye Erruo was evidently trembling as she hugged the man tightly with gritted teeth before she kissed him on the chin. “Thank you, Hubby.”
He rubbed her head and whispered into her ear in his low, husky voice, “I love you, Baby Ruo. I’ll only love you in this lifetime, my dear wife. I love you with my life, Mrs. Mo.”
She nodded fervently and wrapped her arms around him even tighter. Hot, scalding tears could not stop leaking from her eyes. “I’m sorry, Mo Jiangye.”
Finally, she was able to say those two words to him after so long. She was truly sorry for disappointing him in the past and also… for that child.
Lin Jingxuan was silent throughout this.
Mo Jiangye’s eyes sank. Why is she apologizing?
The woman snuggled in his arms for a long while but was still unable to stop her tears from flowing or control her feelings.
“Don’t cry…” He furrowed his brows.
“You can only cry when you’re underneath me. Other than that, no matter the time or the situation you are in, I will not spare anyone who makes you cry. Not even me,” he said before sternly ordering, “Tissue!”
The door swooshed open and in came Wang Yiyang with a packet of tissues. “Sis-in-law, did Chief bully you?”
“Get lost!”
Ye Erruo calmed herself down. “Since he wants to die, just grant him his wish.”
“Xiao Ruo, do you know what you’re saying?”
She exploded in fury right there and then. “I’m saying that you, Lin Jingxuan, are a vile, disgusting creature!”
