PNB Chapter 140 Divorce?
Chapter 140 Divorce?
"You'd better listen to me, or I'll spread all the stories between you and the prince, and let you experience the feeling of being drowned in spit!"
Nan Yuan smiled bitterly, not knowing what emotion she was feeling in her heart.
But she knew very well that Xie Luochen would not dare to spread it, because the person who was entangled with her was none other than Gu Jingheng, the prince. How dare he make up stories about the prince?
Can the upright image that Gu Jingheng has built up over the years be destroyed so easily?
Just based on his few words?
How can it be?
He was afraid that the moment he spoke out about this matter, he would be silenced.
Even if there wasn't any, no one would believe such a fantastic thing. They would probably just think he was crazy and talking nonsense.
"You've drunk too much. Let's talk when you're sober." Nan Yuan didn't want to argue with him anymore.
There is nothing to say to a drunk person whose mind is not clear.
Nan Yuan turned around and walked out of the inner room.
She could just have a quarrel with Xie Luochen and then go their separate ways.
But that was not what Nan Yuan wanted. She had planned for so long just to completely get rid of Gu Jingheng's control. How could she ruin all her previous efforts just because of Xie Luochen's few words?
When Xie Luochen saw Nan Yuan leaving, the corners of his mouth twitched upwards weakly. He said so much, did so much, and was so angry, just to cover up the fact that he was incompetent.
Now that there was no one around, he dared to cry bitterly.
Xie Luochen covered his face, collapsed on the bed, and couldn't stop crying softly.
There are so many good men in this world, why did he have to suffer from such an unspeakable disease?
Nan Yuan looked at the door in front of her and reached out to open it, but the moment her hand touched the latch, she pulled it back.
If she walked out of the door today, it would tell everyone that she and Xie Luochen had not consummated their marriage and that something had gone wrong between them.
It’s hard to explain to my own parents, let alone to others.
The story between her and Shen Zhaixing had long been spread all over the place. No matter whether it was true or not, people would not listen to her explanation and would only laugh at her.
Looking at the closed door, Nan Yuan felt a sense of sadness in her heart and tears welled up in her eyes.
"call--"
Nan Yuan let out a breath, wiped the corners of her eyes, suppressed the mixed feelings in her heart, and turned to the small couch beside her.
Never mind, I’ll just make do with it for one night.
The moon hung high in the sky, casting its bright light all over the ground. A glass lamp under the eaves emitted a dim glow, making the surrounding environment even darker.
Nan Yuan took off her shoes and lay down on the bed. She turned her head to look at the moonlight outside the window. She suddenly felt a little melancholy, not knowing whether her choice was right or wrong.
The moonlight shines through the gauze curtain and projects onto the ground, casting a faint shadow.
The next day.
The sun shines down warmly.
Xie Luochen in the room slowly opened his eyes. He had a severe headache due to a hangover. He struggled to sit up from the bed. The red silk in the room reflected in his eyes, which gradually became clear.
Yesterday was his wedding day!
So last night was his wedding night, and his secret...
He looked up and down at his clothes in horror. It was still his wedding dress, with no signs of having been touched.
So how did he get away with it last night?
"Hmm!" Xie Luochen rubbed his forehead with his hand. He drank too much last night and he could hardly remember anything.
I only vaguely remembered that I was provoked by someone last night, and I went back to the room and had a big quarrel with Nan Yuan, and it seemed that they even fought.
Thinking of this, Xie Luochen sat up with a jerk, and looked around but there was no trace of Nan Yuan.
He had a bad feeling in his heart. If Nan Yuan had left the bridal chamber on impulse last night, it would have been difficult to deal with.
Thinking of this, Xie Luochen raised his foot and walked out. Because he walked too fast, he fell to the ground. However, he did not dare to stop. He got up and rushed out.
"Are you planning on going out like this?"
Just when Xie Luochen's hand was about to touch the door bolt, a voice suddenly sounded from behind.
Xie Luochen looked back and saw Nan Yuan sitting on the small couch. She had already taken off her wedding dress and changed into casual clothes. The red and swollen finger marks were clearly visible on her fair little face.
Her hair fell softly on her shoulders, making her palm-sized face look even more delicate.
The memories of last night came flooding back like a tide, and Xie Luochen's face turned as pale as paper.
"Yuan'er, last night I..."
"Drunk, right?" Nan Yuan sat on the small couch, hugged her knees with her hands, and looked at him calmly.
Xie Luochen dragged his heavy legs and walked towards Nan Yuan. The words he said last night were so harsh that he didn't know how to turn things around today.
He took two steps forward and knelt down in front of Nan Yuan with a "dong". He lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong. "Yuan'er, I... I really was talking nonsense after drinking. I don't even know what I was saying. Don't take it to heart."
Nan Yuan raised her head, stared at him, stood up and walked in front of him.
Suddenly, Nan Yuan swung her arms and slapped Xie Luochen twice on the face.
Nan Yuan used all her strength to knock Xie Luochen to the ground.
Blood flowed from the corner of Xie Luochen's lips. He covered his burning cheek and stared blankly at Nan Yuan in front of him.
Nan Yuan looked at her hands and put them down again.
She smiled and helped Xie Luochen up, then smoothed out the wrinkles on his clothes with her own hands, saying, "It's evened out."
"Are you sober now?" Nan Yuan asked gently, reaching out to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.
Xie Luochen looked at Nan Yuan in a daze. On the one hand, he was shocked by the contrast in Nan Yuan. She was such a gentle person before, so how could she suddenly become so cruel?
On the other hand, Nan Yuan's expression changed too quickly. She looked like she hated him just now, but now she was so friendly as if nothing had happened.
"Awake." Xie Luochen stuttered a little, looking at Nan Yuan with some fear in his eyes.
He felt that Nan Yuan seemed even crazier than him!
"It's good that you're awake. Now we can talk about our business."
Nan Yuan moved a chair and sat opposite Xie Luochen. She was still as gentle as ever, and her tone of voice was very calm. She didn't look angry at all.
Countless thoughts flashed through Xie Luochen's mind. He didn't know why Nan Yuan married him, but he knew why he married Nan Yuan.
I was really crazy yesterday. Why did I drink so much?
It would be fine if he had just been drinking, but how could he say such irresponsible things and even start fighting?
Xie Luochen took a deep breath, held Nan Yuan's hand, and said, "Yuan'er, believe me, I will never drink again from now on, and something like what happened yesterday will never happen again."
Nan Yuan lowered her eyes to look at Xie Luochen who was holding her hand, then pulled her hand away.
Faced with Nan Yuan's cold attitude, Xie Luochen suddenly became panicked. Was she afraid that she wanted to divorce?
"I...we just got married yesterday. If we divorce now, I'm afraid everyone in the capital will laugh at us. This is not a matter between the two of us. This is a matter between the Xie family and the Nan family. Yuan'er, you...please don't act on impulse."
