Flash Marriage, Deep Love-Chapter 119 Knowing the Truth (2)

She understood, but she pretended not to. The reason was simple. She purely did not want her father and mother to separate. She hoped the family would remain as it was, even if they stayed together only for her sake, she still did not want them to get divorced. There was a classmate of hers whose parents were like this. Although they had initially divorced, they got back together again for the sake of their child. Hence, Xuanxuan wished that her parents could be like her classmate’s parents, reconcile, and happily live together.

But, at this moment, her earnest hope was like a soap bubble, burst by Mi Wan’s words.

"Mom, how could dad be with Yu? Did you misunderstand dad?" Although she knew her mother wouldn’t lie to her, Xuanxuan still found it hard to accept this fact. She spoke urgently, hoping Mi Wan would tell her that everything said just now was false, just a joke.

Upon hearing this, Mi Wan remained silent. Her gentle hand soothingly patted Xuanxuan’s back. After a while, she calmly looked directly at Xuanxuan. In her deep black eyes, she saw unease, resistance, heartbreak...

This was what she least wanted to see, because her matter with Song Guotao upset Xuanxuan. But since it was inevitable, she could only tell the truth.

"It’s not a misunderstanding."

Mi Wan said confidently. After speaking, she turned her face forward again. Chen Wenyu’s figure had already disappeared in the corridor, presumably having entered Song Guotao’s hospital room. Suddenly, Mi Wan made a decision, raising her hand to tidy Xuanxuan’s hair, softly saying, "Xuanxuan, let’s go see your dad."

"Mm." Xuanxuan nodded, her expression suddenly becoming exceptionally calm. She didn’t pout or make a fuss; instead, she obediently held Mi Wan’s hand and continued walking forward.

Knock knock―

The hospital room door was open. Hearing the knock, Song Guotao, who was lying in bed, immediately looked towards the door, thinking Mi Wan had brought Xuanxuan. Hence, a smile appeared on his square face. But after clearly seeing the person, the smile on his face faded instantly, and a flash of cold disdain passed quickly through his eyes.

Chen Wenyu intended to give Song Guotao a surprise, so she did not rush into the room with excitement or concern. Instead, she elegantly knocked on the door lightly, standing at the entrance, observing the man’s expression upon seeing her.

She was not nearsighted; her vision was excellent. Therefore, the joy and rapid change to indifference on Song Guotao’s face when he turned around were all seen clearly by her.

Suddenly, she felt a sense of humiliation. A surge of grievance and anger welled up within her. She opened her mouth, wanting to berate Song Guotao, but considering her current situation, she held back.

Even if Song Guotao wasn’t a good person, she needed to rely on him now. Despite his lack of love for her, she did not intend to let go.

"Guotao, where are your injuries? I rushed over as soon as I heard you were hurt," Chen Wenyu’s face was filled with worry and anxiety. As she spoke, she walked towards the bed. Her coquettish voice filled the not-so-spacious single hospital room.

"Why are you here?" Facing Chen Wenyu at this moment, Song Guotao didn’t even bother to pretend to be gentle. A woman reduced to a plaything, he found filthy. Besides disgust and dislike, there was no shred of affection.

Song Guotao’s indifference made Chen Wenyu feel more aggrieved and displeased, but she did not show her emotion on her face, pretending not to notice his coldness, smiling as she said, "I’m worried about you! Ever since hearing about your injuries, my heart has been hanging in suspense. I still haven’t calmed down."

While speaking, Chen Wenyu sat down beside the bed, glanced at the bruises on Song Guotao’s face, pursed her lips, and smiled, continuing, "Guotao, I have good news to tell you."

Upon hearing Chen Wenyu’s words, impatience appeared on Song Guotao’s face, urging her to leave quickly.

"Let’s talk about it later. Xuanxuan will be here soon. It’s inconvenient for you to be here."

Inconvenient?

Song Guotao’s straightforward words caused a pang of pain in Chen Wenyu’s heart. She wanted to get angry, but to maintain her gentle image, she converted her fury into grievances, lowering her eyelids, and speaking softly, "Guotao, please let me stay. You are injured and it’s difficult for you to move. I want to stay and take care of you. Don’t worry, I won’t say anything out of place when Xuanxuan arrives, just like before, as your colleague."

Chen Wenyu did not want to leave for two reasons. Firstly, she felt an indescribable anger. Secondly, when she turned around outside the hospital room, she had accidentally seen Mi Wan and Xuanxuan. She knew that part of the reason Song Guotao was so disdainful towards her was because he wanted to reconcile with Mi Wan. However, as long as she was there, she would not let him achieve his wish.

Seeing Chen Wenyu refuse to leave, Song Guotao’s impatience became more obvious. His tone turned somewhat nasty, "There are nurses and caretakers here. They will look after me. You should leave. I don’t want Xuanxuan to misunderstand me because of your presence!"

This man was indeed changeable. How quickly he wanted to cut ties!

Didn’t he take her to accompany his daughter to the amusement park before? Why wasn’t he afraid his daughter would misunderstand him then?

It was like having a bucket of cold water poured over her; Chen Wenyu felt utterly chilled inside. She did have some feelings for Song Guotao, liking his former gentleness and care, liking his previous good treatment towards her. Of course, she also liked that he could satisfy her material desires. She believed Song Guotao had liked her too. However, his feelings for her were far outweighed by his selfishness and pursuit of wealth and fame.

He was a selfish, heartless man. Now, she couldn’t discern whether she resented him more or liked him more. But she could clearly know her own situation. She had no retreat anymore.

"Guotao, I..." Chen Wenyu’s face was still covered with lingering grievance, seemingly hiding some unspoken secret, she hesitated to speak further. At the same time, she shifted her position at the edge of the bed, blocking Song Guotao’s view of the door, cautiously using her peripheral vision to monitor the movement at the door.

Mi Wan and Xuanxuan were right outside in the corridor. They could come in at any moment, so she needed to ensure they would hear her share the good news with Song Guotao once they entered.

"Have you had enough? Just leave!" Song Guotao, unaware of Chen Wenyu’s scheming, simply didn’t want her around. Completely losing patience now, but due to his injured limbs making it difficult to move, he could only lie in bed, glaring angrily at Chen Wenyu, roaring.

The irate voice reverberated and hurt Chen Wenyu’s eardrum, causing her to shrink her shoulders, a timid expression on her face, and a matching pale color to her cheeks, "Guotao, since you insist I leave, fine, I will. But you must patiently hear me out."
