Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 79: Why Are You Chasing Your Wife to the Crematorium Now? What Were You Doing Earlier?
"Why should I let him come up? When the time comes, I can have Grandpa, or Grandfather, or Uncle take his place."
Su Wan didn’t even have to think about this question.
Su Zhen had his heart so set on Du Weiwei and her daughter that it might as well have been out in the Milky Way Galaxy.
To still be willing to call him ’Dad’ was already quite filial of her.
Actually, Lin Ranyue didn’t want Su Zhen to go either, but this was something her daughter had to decide for herself.
Hearing her daughter speak like this, she felt relieved.
Lin Ranyue, "If Su Zhen were to go, he would definitely bring Du Weiwei with him. He’s now living with Du Weiwei, and they are inseparable. I feel that their marriage isn’t far off. However, your grandfather doesn’t acknowledge Du Weiwei, and for the foreseeable future, she won’t be able to enter the Su Family’s door."
Su Wan was startled, "These two are moving fast, huh? I thought Du Weiwei would string him along for a while."
Lin Ranyue, "I thought so too. Maybe Du Weiwei got anxious seeing Su Zhen frequently visit the Lin Family in District 2?"
Su Wan thought it might be for that reason.
But when she thought about the reason why Dad, Su Zhen, was visiting the Lin Family—to win back her mom, Lin Ranyue—
Su Wan felt pretty good about it.
Now he knows to chase his wife when it’s all gone to hell?
What took him so long!
Su Wan didn’t know that Du Weiwei was able to get together with Su Zhen so quickly not only because Su Zhen’s constant attempts to win back Lin Ranyue made Du Weiwei very uneasy—
but also for a most important reason: after being taken away, she had been scared out of her wits for a full forty-eight hours!
When Du Weiwei was released, it just so happened that Su Zhen was there to pick her up, and she threw herself into his arms, crying.
She had already lost everything.
If she lost Su Zhen as well, then her life would be completely over!
After all, by holding on to Su Zhen, there was a chance to get the Su Family’s restaurant.
She could also vie for a connection to Commander Gu, and by winning him over, it was like having a relation to the Imperial Family!
With that, what was there to fear?
So, Du Weiwei, with her mood slightly off, went back with the somewhat dejected Su Zhen.
She snuggled into his embrace, pitifully recounting the horrors of the past few days and sure enough saw the pity in his eyes.
In the end, Du Weiwei held onto Su Zhen’s neck, looking at him expectantly, "Ah Zhen, you once said you’d protect me and Xiaoman for a lifetime, does that still stand?"
"It does."
"Then... let’s get married."
When Su Zhen heard this, he was stunned.
It was, after all, what he had been longing to hear for a long time.
Had it not been for that accident, the two of them would already be husband and wife, living happily.
Yet, when he finally heard these long-awaited words, Su Zhen realized that he wasn’t feeling as overjoyed as he had imagined; it wasn’t the sensation of being ecstatic to the point of death.
Of course, he was happy.
His long years of devoted love were finally reciprocated.
But that was it, nothing more.
And in the midst of Du Weiwei’s expectant gaze, Su Zhen suddenly remembered Lin Ranyue, who was usually quite delicate, but still as vibrant as a red rose.
In terms of appearance, Lin Ranyue was more beautiful than Du Weiwei, but she had a temper and lacked Du Weiwei’s gentleness and consideration.
Su Zhen hesitated for a moment, then spoke, "Weiwei, there’s no rush for this. With you being taken away this time, I want to ask around and find out what happened."
Seeing that Su Zhen hadn’t immediately agreed, Du Weiwei was taken aback for a moment.
But she was cunning and knew that pressing the matter might annoy him.
So, she didn’t continue to bring up the topic of marriage.
Fortunately, although Su Zhen didn’t agree to marry immediately, under her tenderness, he stayed.
The two of them started living together as if they were a real married couple.
Du Weiwei was a very cautious person. Knowing that Su Zhen had hesitations about marriage, she was as gentle as she could be during the time they lived together.
She ordered lots of ingredients online and then coaxed Su Zhen into cooking feasts.
Du Weiwei said with a smile, "Xiaoman’s military training ended today; she’ll have a few days off. I’ve sent her a message. We’ll go pick her up and bring her home, then our family should have a big meal to celebrate."
As Su Zhen was chopping vegetables, his hand suddenly paused.
Xiaoman’s military training ended?
Does that mean Xiaowan’s military training also ended?
Suddenly, Su Zhen said, "You keep chopping the vegetables; I’m going to make a call."
Du Weiwei’s gentle smile faltered for a moment before she tenderly nodded, "Sure, I can chop the vegetables, but you’ll have to do the cooking since your dishes are the most delicious."
Su Zhen smiled faintly, bent down to kiss her, and then turned around to wipe his hands and walked out.
As soon as he entered the study, Du Weiwei’s expression turned dark, and her eyes became sharp and cold.
Although Su Zhen had stayed by her side during this time,
She always felt that his heart was not in it.
Every time she subtly brought up the matter of marriage, he would divert the conversation to other subjects.
This made Du Weiwei feel even less confident in her heart.
In fact, Su Zhen knew that Du Weiwei was eager to get married with him, but for some reason, he subconsciously wanted to wait and see.
He didn’t even know what he was waiting for.
It wasn’t until he learned that his daughter Xiaowan’s military training had ended and he could now make a call that Su Zhen finally remembered that he had to confront Xiaowan.
Why did she let Commander Gu help push through that forced divorce application!
If it weren’t for Xiaowan’s meddling, he and Lin Ranyue wouldn’t be divorced by now!
What child doesn’t wish for their parents to be well?
How could he have fathered such a heartless daughter!
When Su Zhen’s call came through, Su Wan had just finished a call with her mother.
She had felt a bit thirsty and was sipping warm milk in small gulps.
Su Wan could guess what her father wanted from her.
It was no doubt about the divorce going through forcefully.
As long as Su Zhen wasn’t foolish, he should know that Commander Gu played an essential role in this matter.
As for why Su Zhen didn’t approach Gu Jue... Did he have the guts?
Su Zhen didn’t dare, so he came to find his daughter, this ’soft persimmon,’ to squeeze.
But, pregnant women don’t have good tempers.
Oh, perhaps nobody has told Su Zhen that she was already pregnant.
A pregnant woman, after all, can be willful even in front of Commander Gu, let alone in front of her father Su Zhen, who had made so many mistakes?
So, Su Wan simply declined the call and didn’t answer.
Su Zhen’s face was already dark with anger; although he wanted to interrogate his daughter about that matter, he hoped even more that she would reconcile with Lin Ranyue and the two would remarry.
They had been married for over twenty years; how could they simply divorce?
People are not plants; how could they be without feelings?
Now, Su Zhen didn’t even dare to go back to their original bedroom because seeing the empty room made him miserable.
Su Zhen knew that Lin Ranyue normally had the best relationship with their daughter Su Wan.
If Su Wan persuaded her, then Lin Ranyue would definitely take some of it to heart.
And yet, this damned girl wouldn’t even accept his call!?
Su Zhen was so angry that he was gasping for breath and in a fit of rage, he smashed a vase onto the floor!
The floor was covered with a thick carpet, so when the vase hit it, it didn’t break. Instead, it rolled a few times, bumped into the wall, and rolled back.
It rolled back to where Su Zhen was standing.
Su Zhen was still angry!
So he kicked the vase forcefully, and then...
"Ah!!"
