Every word that Ling Yu said, although Su Wanwan's heart was already very clear, still pierced her heart like a sharp arrow, and Su Wanwan's cheeks involuntarily turned pale.
Gong Lingyu's dark eyes stared tightly at Su Wanwan, persistently persuading her, "Wanwan, if you're not wholeheartedly willing in this marriage, you can..."
"I am!" Su Wanwan suddenly spoke up, interrupting Gong Lingyu's words.
Su Wanwan stood there, her dark eyes slowly turning to meet Gong Lingyu's gaze. She opened her mouth slowly, enunciating each word, "I married Pei Muni willingly, I didn't compromise myself. Is this answer enough?"
Jing Lingyu was stunned, his eyes widened in shock, and his voice seemed to have become hoarse, unable to speak for a long time.
Su Wanwan didn't stay for long, picked up her bag and left towards the coffee shop entrance.
-
Su Wanwan got into a taxi, the driver asked her where she was going, Su Wanwan casually said "going home", the driver asked again, "Miss, where is your home?"
Where is your home?
It was such a simple question, yet Su Wanwan suddenly couldn't answer it.
The Su residence should have been her home, but after her parents passed away, she was more like a lodger there. Later, she married Pei Muyan and the villa in Jinxiu City should have been her home, but Pei Muyan didn't love her and didn't treat her as his wife, so that wasn't her home either.
The world is so big, but she doesn't even have a home, can't find a place to settle down.
Su Wanwan closed her eyes and leaned back against the chair, then said in a low voice, "Master, just drive wherever you want."
The car circled around the entire city of L, and Su Wanwan rolled down the window, letting in a gentle breeze that carried a hint of coolness.
Her ears involuntarily echoed with the question Gong Lingyu had asked: Why did she marry Pei Mochen?
For what?
For Su's family, for Su's household, in order not to disappoint grandfather's expectations...
She had many many reasons, she had many many excuses, but she still couldn't deceive herself. The real reason she married Pei Muyan was that she loved him.
Even though she knew three years ago that Pei Muxuan didn't love her, and Pei Muxuan had hated her from the start, she still foolishly, spinelessly, and uncontrollably loved him.
So she didn't lie to Gong Lingyu about this marriage, and she was willing with all her heart. She didn't wrong herself.
Even if Pei Mochen is now giving her so much pain and sorrow, this is also... the only way she can get close to him, the way she completes her own love.
Su Wanwan wandered around until 7 o'clock in the evening and returned home on time.
Since that night when she didn't come home, after Pei Mochen said those unpleasant words to her, Su Wanwan became a docile and obedient young mistress of the Pei family. She would go out on time, return home on time, and never stay outside for an extra minute. When facing Pei Mochen, she was also well-behaved and considerate, serving him attentively.
Su Wanwan walked into the entrance hall and saw Pei Muniang's shoes, knowing that he had returned. Her heart involuntarily skipped a beat.
She drove him away last time and he didn't come back for several days, but today he's back...
If she could, she really wanted to turn around and leave, now she was particularly unwilling to face Pei Mochen.
