Husband Is Too Sweet! - Chapter 14

The evening day after, three men were sitting together drinking. “Li Yi Feng, You early come out when we call you out for outings. How come you came?” One of the men asked. “Maybe he’s here to celebrate. I heard he finally got rid of his annoying and clingy wife. Ah, It should be ex-wife now.” Li Yi Feng looked up at his friend. He was annoyed. Since last night he could not get rid of that irritating feeling that had been gnawing on him. As he had thought, that woman brought him nothing but trouble. Ke Ming, that loose thronged idiot. “Oi, don’t get so irritated. Ke Ming was so happy for you. Why do you look like you’re going to punish him when you get back. Gu Li Ming, say something.” “Is it true? You finally got her to sign the divorce papers? I never thought that girl would ever let you go.” Gu Li Ming looked at his friend in surprise. “That’s right. Exactly how did you get rid of her? After hearing how annoying she was from Ke Ming, we went to all that trouble to not meet her. She was like your shadow always sticking to you. That’s why I told you to never get married.” The other man went on. “Shut up Mu Sheng Tian. Getting her to sign the divorce papers so soon after her miscarriage! You’re being too harsh Yi Feng.” “Didn’t she lose the child because of paying and drinking too much? It serves her right.” Mu Sheng Tian said without a care. “I heard that those rumours where lies.” “Lies?” Both men looked towards their quiet friend. Li Yi Feng narrowed his eyes. This was none of their business, why care so much about that woman? “See, it’s not lies. That woman probably came up with that to stick to him. despicable!” “She was poisoned.”

His reply caught them off guard. the always cold and mighty Li Yi Feng actually explained why! Even Li Yi Feng was not sure why he said anything. but somehow, not saying anything bothered him. Why was he defending her? Why had he come here as soon as he found out she would be going here? It did not make sense! The other two men looked at each other. There seemed to be more to the story than their friend was telling them. “But, you still got divorced from her right after the miscarriage?” Gu Li Feng did not forget that his friend had not answered him. Li Yi Feng had no thoughts about replying. He looked up at his friends and his gaze landed on Mu Sheng Tian. The scene that he witnessed last night came to mind and his gaze turned cold. Mu Sheng Tian shuddered, he felt a chill to the bone as if a beast was locking on to him. He looked towards his friend. He knew it! What had he done now? Why was Li Yi Feng, this b*****d looking, at him like this? “Not yet. I haven’t officially settled the papers just yet.” With those words, he stood up and left. If he did not leave now, he felt like more would slip out. There was no reason for him to explain himself to them.

Yu Yan had stayed out longer than she had thought. Before long the skies had turned dark. She should have gotten back to her room earlier. If she had, she would not have been caught up in this trouble!

“Wouldn’t you answer me, little beauty. How can you be out and about alone this late? Ah, you must be lonely. Why not keep me and my brother company?” The drunk man laughed as he eyed her. “Ah, my brother is right. We’ll treat you real good. Let’s go have some fun together, hmm?” The other man said as he too watched at her greedily.

Yu Yan looked around. There was no one else in sight. She was quite far away from the lodge and would not be able to call for help and she might outrun the drunk one, but the other man looked sober enough. “It’s late and I’m tired. I don’t think I could accompany you, gentlemen.” She tried talking nicely was she slowly back away from the men.

“Where do you think you’re going?” As he was talking, he grabbed her hand. Not letting her get away. “Little lady, do you think you have a choice? Tonight you’re serving me and my brother! If you’re obedient we’ll be nice. However, we don’t mind doing it the hard way if you still want to run away.” The man smiled her lecherously as he talked. Disgusting! In her past, she had also experienced these kinds of situations. At first, she had been lucky enough to get away but another time she was almost rȧpėd. If it had not been for the stranger that had helped her she would certainly be rȧpėd that night. She had come to realise that she had to learn to take care of herself. Even when she had become haggard and ugly, those type of men had still been attracted to her curvy body.

Li Yi Feng had gone out to get some fresh air and cool down his head. He did not want to be asked more questions. Neither did he want to be in the same room as Mu Sheng Tian at the moment. Somehow he just wanted to punch that smiling idiot. As he walked away from were people ventured to get some peace of mind, he wandered into an unexpected scene. He never thought he would see the woman again at this late hour. What was she thinking of wandering out so late at night? Did she not realise she was a woman or did she not know how dangerous it could be? Why would she be in the wood so far away from people? She could not even call for help if she needed it. Looking at the man who was grabbing her hand without letting go, a wave of unknown anger came over him. He had an urge to pound the man half to death. ‘Ignore it!’ He should not get involved with that woman. It would only cause him trouble. He turned away deciding to walk away from the scene. He looked back. He could not ignore it.

“Long Hai, go help her out. Pretend you’re a passerby, don’t let her know I sent you.” “Understood, master.”
