Chapter 39: There Are No Gods in This World, But There Is Fu Huayi

Lu Jiangting: …

“You’re threatening me, kidnapping me, using moral blackmail.” Lin Yuyao accused him sternly.

Just this action made her think that Lu Jiangting was a very extreme person, she must stay away from extreme people.

Lu Jiangting explained, “I’m not, Yuyao, I really know I was wrong, I just want you to give me another chance.”

“Humph, whatever, since you want to use moral blackmail on me, then I can only be immoral.”

Lin Yuyao felt she couldn’t indulge him; she had to dispel his thought that begging for forgiveness would work.

She angrily walked around him and shouted at the door.

“Hey, is anyone watching the show? … Uh…”

Before she could finish, Lu Jiangting, whose face was full of shock, covered her mouth and dragged her back.

Finding that begging her was useless, Lu Jiangting became angry and embarrassed, carrying her back to the bed and kicking the door shut, quickly latching it with one hand.

Lin Yuyao was terrified, grabbing the fruit knife on the small table.

But she was always a little too slow and Lu Jiangting noticed her.

He was furious, carried her over, and threw her on the bed, pressing down on her. 

The difference in strength between men and women was astonishing; he held her hands and feet, and she couldn’t resist at all.

Lin Yuyao was so angry that tears welled up in her eyes.

Lu Jiangting was also very angry, he shouted, “You still want to use a knife? Yuyao, you want to fight me with a knife? Who taught you?”

Lin Yuyao gritted her teeth, “I’d rather die with you than live with you, give up on that thought.”

Lu Jiangting looked hurt, “Are you serious?”

“Yes, I’m serious, how many times do I need to say it? I told you, every word I’ve said is serious, why don’t you believe me?”

“I don’t believe you, who else can you turn to besides me? Fu Huayi?”

Lin Yuyao: “Don’t slander him, he’s not like you.”

“Heh, you think you know him well? Do you know who he is? With his status, do you think he would look at a village girl with some looks?”

Lin Yuyao: “…”

She was so angry that she wanted to die.

“I’m a village girl? In your eyes, I’m just a worthless village girl with some looks, right? So, you’ve always looked down on me, thinking I can’t live without you, right? Do you know that I’m not lacking in people who like me if I wanted to…”

Lin Yuyao deflated as she spoke.

Many people have liked her since she was a child.

She had been pretty since she was young, and she had her parents, brothers, and sisters to spoil her; her family didn’t lack labor, and she rarely did farm work. She only helped with laundry, cooking, and cleaning the house, and occasionally went with her mother to cut pigweed. She was pampered and delicate, her entire being was vibrant and lively, naturally attracting boys since she was young.

But they all knew she liked Lu Jiangting and was going to marry him.

Lu Jiangting was the most eligible bachelor in the surrounding villages.

He was tall and handsome, had good grades since he was a child, a campus celebrity, with certificates that could cover the walls of his house.

Those who liked Lin Yuyao knew they couldn’t compete with Lu Jiangting. Besides a few daring ones who wrote her love letters, most people could only secretly admire her.

Although their circumstances were inferior to Lu Jiangting’s, their family conditions were far superior to his.

Why did he think she couldn’t live without him?

Forget it, there’s no point in arguing with a narcissist and a selfish person.

Lin Yuyao smiled bitterly, “Forget it, why are we talking about this? Lu Jiangting, let me go, let’s end this amicably.”

Lu Jiangting’s eyes were red, he naturally thought of what Lin Yuyao was thinking.

He said in a hoarse voice, “Do you think I’ve received fewer love letters? But I rejected them all, because I only have you in my heart. Fang Qing is different, I don’t have feelings for her, I don’t like her at all. I’ve said it countless times, I only take care of her and her child because of Jianjun, why don’t you believe me?”

Lin Yuyao turned her head to look at him, “Believe, when have I ever said I don’t believe you?”

Lu Jiangting was startled, “Then why are you still making a fuss?”

Lin Yuyao said, “Haven’t I said countless times, it’s your debt to them, not mine, I don’t want to be burdened by you for the rest of my life to repay your debts, do you understand?”

Understand?

No, he didn’t understand.

He felt that husband and wife were one, what he owed was what she owed, she should share his thoughts, she should also feel guilty towards Fang Qing and her child, and work together to make amends.

She was selfish, she didn’t see him as her man, she didn’t see herself as his family.

Yes, she was selfish, she didn’t understand the meaning of the phrase “husband and wife are one.”

Why was she so selfish?

She was good in every way, but why was she so selfish?

Lu Jiangting was heartbroken and angry, his eyes red as he stared at her, “Is it because we’re not actually a true husband and wife yet, so you don’t understand what it means to be husband and wife?”

Lin Yuyao: “What?”

“Is it?” Lu Jiangting roared.

Lin Yuyao’s expression changed, “You’re crazy…”

As soon as she finished speaking, he pressed down on her, kissing her and tearing at her clothes.

Lin Yuyao dodged desperately, but he splattered her with saliva.

She was panicking and scared.

If I had known this, I should have… I should have…

Should have what?

Should have asked Fu Huayi to help me move?

But I’ve already troubled him enough.

Sister Zhou did ask me when I was moving and said she’d help.

But we have different shifts and days off, so how could she help?

I just said a few polite words.

The sound of ripping silk stimulated her sensitive nerves.

Summer clothes were very thin, as she struggled, she was torn open by Lu Jiangting, who had lost his mind. Her skin was exposed to the air, she was so ashamed and angry that tears streamed down her face. She had only one thought at this moment, she had to fight Lu Jiangting to the death, she would rather die with him than live a miserable life.

In her panic, she finally grabbed the scissors on the small table. Just as she was about to stab Lu Jiangting, there was a bang, and the door, which wasn’t very strong, was kicked open.

Sunlight poured in and was blocked by a tall figure.

Lin Yuyao’s eyes were filled with tears, she couldn’t see the person’s face clearly, she could only vaguely see a tall figure.

Walking towards her against the light, like a god, saving her from the devil.

She heard the sound of fists connecting with flesh, the sound of a fierce fight.

Lin Yuyao’s mind was in a daze, her breathing was rapid, and her chest was so tight it felt like she was going to die.

This was the body’s reaction to extreme terror and fear.

A large piece of clothing wrapped around her.

Lin Yuyao looked up at the blurry figure, her voice trembling.

“Are you a god?”

Fu Huayi was stunned for a moment, then his voice was deep, firm, and serious, “Comrade Xiao Lin, there are no gods in this world.”

Lin Yuyao mumbled, “You’re Fu Huayi.”

“Yes.” Fu Huayi hummed softly.

Lin Yuyao curled her lips into a smile and fainted.

There are no gods in this world, but there is Fu Huayi.
