Rebirth: The Ascent of a Socialite-Chapter 572 - 230: A Man’s Hidden Affliction (3)
Watching Yan Wuxu walk away with exaggerated arrogance, Chang Chi passed by Pello’s study. In the study, Pello sat in a daze at his desk, deaf and blind to everything outside. His hand had relaxed its strength after an instant effort; what had happened to him just now?
Even when Yan Wuxu intentionally provoked his desire, his self-control was still normal. The words below spoken by Yan Wuxu, bringing up Su Ziceng and Hang Yishao, immediately flashed the scene of that night in his mind: the beauty of Su Ziceng, her tender cries, and then it turned to Hang Yishao, the two of them embracing each other, coldly looking on at him from the side. His chest grew tighter and tighter, Pello violently pounded the desk, scattering the illusions in his mind, but the stifled feeling in his heart remained.
Yan Wuxu had struck a chord with him. He could not get a proper erection, and the doctor had said that it was not a physical problem, but a psychological one. Wen Maixue’s body no longer held any attraction for him. He thought that switching to another woman, to Yan Wuxu, might improve things, which was why he had let Yan Wuxu continue. But it was still no good.
The strong scent of perfume and alcohol on Yan Wuxu made him feel nauseous; he had a need to vent his desires, but not with Yan Wuxu. Maybe with some other woman or perhaps with Su Ziceng.
Pello’s eyes grew even more intense. Could it only be Su Ziceng? Just thinking about her, he could feel desire and heat coursing through his body. But Su Ziceng had already rejected him, even in the park, she had refused the great temptation he offered. And there was that damn Hang Yishao, that night, he must have deliberately taken Ziceng there. As Pello recalled that night, his chest felt even more oppressed.
While escorting Wen Maixue, those flattering politicians and celebrities endlessly praised the match between him and Wen Maixue, but there were also those who gossiped about Su Ziceng and Hang Yishao.
"Such a dress, only Miss Wen could pull it off. The young master of the Hang Family really is blind, how could he fall for someone from a family in decline like the Su Family,"
"Exactly, it can only be because they’re childhood sweethearts, probably too deep in feelings to let go just like that."
"I think they’re quite a good match," someone said.
"A good match they may be. I heard the two families were tied through a child when it was still in the womb,"
Those damn words echoed again in his mind, "Enough," Pello lost his temper, pacing anxiously in the study. Outside was a burst of quiet laughter, Chang Chi stood at the door, her gaze making Hang Yishao feel very uncomfortable.
"Earl of Wizi, the way you’re fretting looks quite similar to Su Ziceng," Chang Chi deliberately mentioned that name, and Pello’s displeased expression changed slightly.
"You’ve lived with Ziceng for so many years, you should... understand her quite well," Pello hesitated, but still asked. He had been with Su Ziceng for so long, always believing he understood her. She was clearly an emotional person; why could she now so decisively sever the feelings between them?
"I understand her very well, she’s a proactive person. To tame someone as proactive as she is, one must be even more proactive, and Hang Yishao is indeed proactive," Chang Chi seemed to be giving him advice. Pello was skeptical, but Chang Chi added, "Earl of Wizi, both love and hatred are intense emotions. If you can’t make a woman fall in love, then simply make her hate you instead."
"We owe each other nothing now," Pello recalled Su Ziceng’s words from that day. They owed each other nothing, so she didn’t love nor hate, so she had learned to ignore him.
"I will never allow you to do this, Su Ziceng," Pello would rather have her hate him than have her ignore him. (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to Qidian (qidian.com) to cast your recommendation tickets and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
