Promise You Lifelong Happiness - C103
Three days had passed since Liu Yuxi last saw Ye Sisi. Liu Yuxi had already recovered and was in the middle of testing his clothes in the store when he received a call from Ye Sisi.
Her smile froze on her face when she heard the voice and tone on the other end of the phone, caught off guard.
“Don’t be in such a hurry, I’ll go look for you right now.”
While they were driving away, Liu Yuxi speculated on many possibilities: perhaps it was a quarrel with his fiancé, or perhaps it was because of the marriage and his family’s conflict, and more, whatever it was, it was related to the marriage.
Liu Yuxi pondered over whether he should tell Lin Qingrou or not.
The car was parked by the side of the road. He took the phone and put it down. There were too many variables, so in the end, she didn’t tell her.
When the two of them saw each other, Liu Yuxi was shocked.
It had only been a few days, but Ye Sisi seemed to have transformed from the girl who had been full of vitality since she came back to become a skinny and haggard girl.
Although Ye Sisi was still wearing expensive clothes and drawing exquisite makeup, her sunken eyes made her look even larger. However, there was no longer any trace of spirit left in them. The face that was once so exquisite that it could be blown and broken was now completely devoid of any ruddiness. He could only rely on his strong blush to conceal his daily fatigue.
In that moment, Liu Yuxi was speechless. However, he knew in his heart that with all his strength, he had completely destroyed this girl who should have been flawless.
She hated these forces that should not have appeared, but in the end it dawned on her that they were helping her along the way.
When Ye Sisi saw him, she gently put down her coffee cup and softly called out, “Sister Yuxi.”
Liu Yuxi took the box in his hand and gave it to her, saying with the same cautious tone, “This is a wedding present I gave you. Since we’ve met today, I’ll give it to you in advance.”
Ye Sisi calmly glanced at the box. She smiled sincerely at Liu Yuxi, then placed it by her side.
“There must be something on your mind that called me here today. I want to say what I want to say, and whenever you say it, I’ll accompany you.” Liu Yuxi’s tone was both gentle and patient. It was unknown whether it was due to his tone or some other reason, but Ye Sisi’s tears fell like rain upon hearing his words.
Liu Yuxi was frightened out of her wits and quickly passed over a few tissues.
“What happened, did something happen to the wedding?”
However, as soon as Liu Yuxi finished speaking, he felt that something was wrong. Logically speaking, with the Ji Clan’s family background and status, it should be easy to arrange a wedding. Furthermore, from Ye Sisi’s attitude towards this wedding and this marriage, it seemed as if she didn’t care whether the wedding was good or not. So, what in the world would make her like this?
Ye Sisi’s eyes were red and there were still a few tears on her eyelashes. She took a deep breath, looked at Liu Yuxi, and said, “It’s not about the wedding, it’s my father.”
Liu Yuxi breathed a sigh of relief, then his heart tightened. However, he still looked more worried than curious.
“Then don’t be in such a hurry, speak slowly. What happened?”
Ye Sisi fixed her gaze on a spot on the table and said slowly, “I’m not sure, but I’ve suspected this matter for a long time.”
“My dad seems to have a woman outside.”
Ye Sisi’s words were very honest, causing Liu Yuxi, who normally would not say anything, to not be able to react in time.
“What?” Having a woman, what does that mean, Little San? ”
Ye Sisi looked numb, as if her heart was already dead. “Yes. Actually, I had my suspicions even before I went to university. “Yes, but I was too busy studying to be at home, and then I went abroad to study, so it was even more impossible to investigate this matter. As time went by, I forgot about it.”
Although Liu Yuxi remained cautious, his curiosity and excitement was slowly aroused.
“Did you find something new when you came back this time?”
Ye Sisi wiped away her remaining tears and said with a wry smile, “Originally, I had already forgotten about this after returning home. But that day, I found another ticket and a hotel bill in his book. ”
“It’s normal to have a plane ticket and a base slip, don’t you think so?”
“I am well aware of his hospital. Even abroad, hotel accommodation and plane flights are strictly regulated to prevent staff from tampering with travel expenses. “My dad is the dean, so he wouldn’t be unaware of it. He definitely wouldn’t risk his life to make mistakes like getting caught red-handed.”
Ye Sisi paused for a moment before saying,
“Besides, I asked his assistant later, and he had no plans to travel at all at that time.”
Liu Yuxi pulled up his coat, feeling a little cold.
“Later on, I checked with the staff at the hotel. Although it took a bit of effort, I still managed to find out what it was. The person who went into the hotel with my father was a woman. ”
Liu Yuxi sucked in a breath of cold air.
“So, this woman, do you know her name and appearance?”
Ye Sisi bit her lips and slowly shook her head.
Liu Yuxi suddenly had some doubts. Ye Sisi didn’t even know how she looked like nor her name. She suspected that she misunderstood him.
“Sister Yu Xi, what should I do?” Ye Sisi’s eyes suddenly turned red again.
Liu Yuxi quickly passed her a few more tissues, then asked her seriously, “Other than you, who else knows about this? Does your mother know?”
Ye Sisi sobbed, “I once asked her indirectly, and she didn’t answer me directly. “I think even if she knew about this, even if she did divorce me, I wouldn’t say anything. I would even think that divorce is a good thing, lest we drag each other down …”
Liu Yuxi leaned back in his chair, feeling that Ye Sisi was actually stronger than he had imagined in this matter.
“In that case, what do you want to do now?”
“I …” Ye Sisi’s gaze gradually became lost, unsure of what to say.
If she doesn’t say, Liu Yuxi will speak for her: “There are many reasons and object of cheating, but the end result is only divorce or not divorce. What do you want to do? ”
Ye Sisi shook her head, “Actually, deep down, I don’t want this family to leave. But if the truth comes out and my mother wants a divorce, I’ll support her. ”
“What if both your parents know about this and they know it and they just don’t want to blow it? You still want to continue your investigation? ”
Ye Sisi looked at Liu Yuxi in confusion.
Liu Yuxi explained, “They are husband and wife after all. Your mother would be more sensitive to a lot of things than you are. If you already noticed that something was wrong with your father, could it be that your mother didn’t notice? Since she was aware of it and didn’t say anything, there was only one possibility. She didn’t want to be separated, didn’t want to be separated from your father. Taking a step back, even if she no longer has any feelings for your father, she is still maintaining the stability of this family. ”
“No!” Ye Sisi was actually a bit excited.
“I don’t need her to maintain the stability of a family in this way. If it’s like you said, I’d rather have her divorce than suffer this injustice!”
Ye Sisi’s expression was extremely firm. This was something Liu Yuxi had never seen before.
Liu Yuxi sighed with emotion. He didn’t expect Ye Sisi, who was usually gentle and gentle, to be so insistent on this matter.
“And if it was you?” Liu Yuxi suddenly asked this question and stared fixedly at Ye Sisi.
The corner of Ye Sisi’s mouth curved into a sneer. “Me? If it had been me, I would have been divorced. I don’t understand. Why would I want to be with someone who looks so different and dreams in the same bed? What is the point of such a chaotic life! ”
Liu Yuxi looked at her, “But aren’t you the same?”
After saying that, Liu Yuxi took a sip of water from his cup and took the opportunity to observe Ye Sisi’s expression.
She first looked at Liu Yuxi in confusion, then her eyes became even more indifferent and numb.
Ye Sisi held the cup tightly in her hand. She was in so much pain that she felt like she was about to crack the handle of the white porcelain. She smiled bitterly and said, “Yes, I was the one who did it.” With my current situation, what qualifications do I have to require the cleanliness of my life and emotions? I’m afraid that Ji Heng and I are even worse than those married couples. ”
Liu Yuxi’s heart ached for her. This was clearly the life she despised the most, but reality forced her to jump into this huge pit of fire.
He could only advise her, “Alright, what I have said is the worst case scenario. Perhaps everything is not bad to this extent. ”
Ye Sisi shook her head, “Sister Yuxi, it’s not that I haven’t thought about the situation that you’ve described. It’s just that I’m not willing to face it even if I wanted to. But now, I have no choice but to accept this reality. The truth is that, to a large extent, the situation that you mentioned has already happened a long time ago. ”
Liu Yuxi suddenly didn’t know what to say. He could only silently look at her and feel sorry for her, but he couldn’t do anything about it.
“I’m fine.” Ye Sisi suddenly raised her face, as if she had returned to her former self in an instant.
“I just wanted to hear your opinion on this matter. Now that I understand what you have to say, I will no longer be concerned about this matter. After all, no matter what they did, I had to pretend I didn’t know. After all, they were the ones involved. If they think it’s the best thing to do, I’ll pretend I don’t know anything. Perhaps this is the right thing to do. ”
Ye Sisi looked at Liu Yuxi expectantly, hoping she would tell him that she was right.
However, when Liu Yuxi saw that she was pretending to be strong, he realized that his heart was aching. He couldn’t believe that he couldn’t say a word.
She looked at Ye Sisi and finally said, “Yes, you’re right. If they do that, then we’ll respect their decision!”
Ye Sisi looked at her, and a beautiful smile suddenly appeared on her face. Perhaps it was out of relief, or perhaps she had already given up hope for marriage.
Leaving Ye Sisi’s side, Liu Yuxi didn’t know how he got home. He only knew that he had almost gotten into a nearby car and almost ran after her. She had been in a daze the whole night. Ye Sisi’s words kept repeating in her head.
Ye Sisi was such a pure and innocent girl, but now, she had been tortured to such a state by reality. Had they done something wrong?
Perhaps it was because Lin Manchu hadn’t seen Ye Sisi’s sad appearance face to face before, but when Liu Yuxi told her everything, Lin Ruoxi only let out a faint “Oh” before continuing to read the information on the computer.
Liu Yuxi couldn’t help but ask, “Aren’t you heartbroken?”
Lin Qingrou shifted her gaze from the computer to Liu Yuxi’s face, “Of course, I’m very sorry for her. I’ll even do my best to help her if she needs anything. But now, apparently, she didn’t need help. Could it be that while I’m taking revenge on Ye Qingcheng, I also have to settle the matter of him having a woman outside? ”
Liu Yuxi was stunned for a moment. Although he was unwilling, he could only bear with what Lin Qingrou had said in the end. Despite the pain in their hearts, the discomfort was nothing compared to what they had to do.
As a result, they only talked a little about Ye Sisi before turning their attention to Ye Qingcheng.
Lin Qingrou was not too surprised to hear about Ye Qingcheng.
Liu Yuxi asked her, “Why aren’t you surprised? When I heard Ye Sisi’s words, my heart jumped. I had to keep pinching my own hand to hold it in.”
Lin Qingrou smiled at her, “What, are you usually unmoved by this?”
Liu Yuxi rolled his eyes at her, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, “You’re still in the mood to joke? Alright, why don’t you tell me what you’re thinking?”
Before Lin Qingrou could say anything, Liu Yuxi suddenly said, “That’s not right. Tell me, how much do you think Ye Qing will know about this? Completely unaware? It seems unlikely, but isn’t it a bit too much for him to pretend he doesn’t know if he knows? ”
Lin Manrou saw Liu Yuxi twitch his mouth with a face full of contempt, and said to her, “Weak? If I were him, I’d probably pretend not to know. What else can I do? Asking Ye Qingcheng, or forcing him to give up on returning to his family? Men do not have as many things as women do, especially after marriage. Even if they did know, they would probably turn a blind eye to it, because they are the ‘same kind’, the ones who understand the ‘same kind’ the most. ”
“Then let me ask you,” Liu Yuxi suddenly became interested, “If Ye Qingming did this, what would you think?”
Lin Qingrou played with her watch, tapping it with her fingertips. Sometimes she was faster than a second, and sometimes she was in sync with it.
“I… I don’t know, if I really love you, I can’t just ignore it. However, Ye Qingming and I were not an ordinary couple, so I didn’t know what to do. I’m afraid that when the time comes, I will do what I have to do the most. ”
After saying that, her fingers gradually slowed down, finally stopping at one spot.
Liu Yuxi didn’t notice her abnormality. While clicking his tongue and sighing, he asked, “How did you sense it?”
Lin Qingrou came back to her senses, thought for a while, and said, “It was the last time we went to the villa, I only had some thoughts about it, I didn’t expect you to prove it today.”
Liu Yuxi was a little shocked, “Villa? It was what happened after you got sick, right? You actually discovered it at that time and didn’t tell me! ”
“I’m not sure about anything that has no boundaries. Furthermore, from my observations from before, Ye Qingcheng treated his family well, especially Shen Ruzhen. She was much better than we thought. But now, it seems that it’s just that the acting is getting more and more profound, so much so that even he himself is unable to differentiate between the acting and the acting. ”
Lin Qingrou’s face gradually revealed a look of disdain.
After a while, she continued, “That time when I went to the mansion, I took advantage of Ye Qingming’s absence to look through the cabinets in the mansion. “Although it doesn’t look like much, I actually found a button in an empty cabinet.”
Liu Yuxi looked at Lin Qingrou and saw her smile. She then took out a transparent paper bag from her bag and passed it to Liu Yuxi. Then she continued, “If it’s an ordinary button, it’s actually nothing much. However, you should know what this is. ”
Liu Yuxi took it over in shock, and after looking at it a few times, he said in surprise, “This should be last year’s limited amount. I haven’t been able to buy it for a long time!”
Lin Qingrou tapped her fingertips on the table, nodding with a smile.
“Just because you used to talk about how hard it was to buy this underwear last year, I just happened to read a few magazines with you and took note of the style of the underwear. “Who would have thought that I would see a button on that underwear in the villa?”
Liu Yuxi was so infuriated that he almost dropped the button on the floor.
“Ye Qingcheng is really great. Not only did he cheat, he even bought such an expensive underwear for Little San!” This is the limited edition of the entire world, there are only a few of these! ”
Lin Manshou continued, “Those undergarments are too young and sexy. They are not the style of Shen Ruzhen or Ye Sisi at all, and they don’t suit their age at all. Afterwards, I thought about it. I once heard Ye Sisi say that ever since she started studying abroad, she and Shen Ruzhen never went to the villa again. Presumably, only ‘certain people’ have been there. ”
Liu Yuxi suddenly realized what was going on and sighed in pity.
After saying that, Lin Qingrou continued, “But, I’m very curious, who is that woman.”
Liu Yuxi focused and then seemed to have thought of something. He said in surprise, “Since I’m with Ye Qingcheng and Ye Sisi said that they have been together for a long time, then their relationship must be very close! Do you think Ye Qingzhen would use this woman to do something? “For example …”
The two of them looked at each other, feeling increasingly nervous.
Lin Qingrou could not believe her voice, “Are you saying that this woman might be by our side!?”
