Chapter 116: Their Past
Fu Ying was stunned by Mo Rao’s words.
She actually knew?
“Are you surprised?” Mo Rao was calm. “I’m just good-tempered, not a fool. Shen Feng’s kindness to me has long exceeded the normal boundary between men and women. I can feel it. It’s only because of our identities that he has been restraining himself. I’ve also avoided him. Today, at Grandma’s house, didn’t you pretend to be gentle to me on purpose to show off to him?”
Fu Ying had a bad feeling. Mo Rao had actually guessed this. Would she know what happened ten years ago soon?
“Fu Ying, let’s get a divorce. Let me go. As long as Qu Ru is between us, we will never have a good ending.” Mo Rao stood up and didn’t want to say anything else.
Fu Ying grabbed Mo Rao’s arm and suppressed his jealousy. “Are you in love with Shen Feng?”
“Why don’t you talk about how you’re so concerned about Qu Ru?” Mo Rao found it ridiculous. “Instead, you’re here to question me. I’m different from you. Fu Ying, I’ve said before that I’m not the kind of woman who has no bottom line. I’m not that lustful. I want a devoted husband and have a simple life. But if my husband isn’t faithful, I’d rather be single for the rest of my life!”
“Mo Rao, if not for you, Qu Ru and I would have gotten married long ago!” Fu Ying was annoyed.
“So? Is this my fault? Should I watch as the two of you suffer?” Mo Rao’s smile was cold. “Fu Ying, I’m not the one at fault. You’re the one who wasn’t persistent enough.”
Fu Ying’s expression turned ugly because Mo Rao was right.
From the beginning to the end, Mo Rao had listened to Old Madam Fu and the others’ arrangements and didn’t use any methods to force the marriage.
After living in the Fu family for so many years, Mo Rao had always been very obedient and had never done anything overboard.
Even when she saw Fu Ying, whom she had a crush on for a long time, fall in love with Qu Ru, she endured it. She didn’t say anything or show her jealousy. She just silently hid her emotions in her heart.
Fu Ying and Qu Ru couldn’t be together because Qu Ru’s mother had a bad reputation and she herself had a bad character, causing everyone in the Fu family to dislike her.
Who were Old Madam Fu and Mo Wan? After they finished investigating Qu Ru, they immediately objected.
Mo Rao was a witness.
However, even though she knew that Old Madam Fu and Mo Wan didn’t like Qu Ru and objected to Fu Ying being with her, Mo Rao had never deliberately interfered.
She would laugh for Fu Ying, cry for Fu Ying, and endure it for Fu Ying.
She was fine as long as Fu Ying felt happy.
However, Old Madam Fu still discovered Mo Rao’s thoughts later. Coincidentally, she didn’t agree to Fu Ying and Qu Ru being together, so she was determined to matchmake Mo Rao and Fu Ying.
After using some methods, Qu Ru was sent away.
Old Madam Fu even threatened Fu Ying with Qu Ru’s future and life to get Fu Ying to marry Mo Rao.
Fu Ying finally compromised, but he didn’t allow Mo Rao to reveal her identity. Old Madam Fu knew that this was his greatest concession, so she didn’t force it.
Mo Rao had liked Fu Ying for so long and had finally married her sweetheart. Although the process was a little confusing, she didn’t care. She was very happy.
Time could heal everything. She believed that one day, she would win Fu Ying’s heart and make him fall in love with her.
After three years, she finally knew that she was dreaming.
So what if Fu Ying liked her? It turned out that a person could love two people at the same time.
Fu Ying liked Mo Rao, but he couldn’t let go of Qu Ru.
Mo Rao didn’t want to share Fu Ying with another person. She had a backbone. If she had to compromise like this, she would rather leave and fulfill the two of them.
“Mo Rao, you don’t know what she means to me.” Fu Ying was silent for a moment. As if he was opening his heart to her, he said, “You’re right. Even if we don’t get a divorce, I can’t abandon her.”
This was an admission. Mo Rao’s heart ached.
She was still sad even though she knew the outcome.
“She saved me in a river once. If not for her, I might have died there.” Fu Ying recalled what had happened back then and an unknown emotion flashed across his eyes.
Mo Rao was stunned. She didn’t expect there to be such a thing.
It turned out that there was such fate between them.
Mo Rao smiled bitterly. “I understand, so you guys will never stop interacting. You will always be entangled with each other.”
Her face was very pale, as if all the blood had been sucked out of her. Her heart ached.
