Chapter 9: Who Are You Trying to Fool with This Deeply Affectionate Act?

Zhao Yuzhu looked at Su Lüyun’s pretentious demeanor with a face full of disdain, her heart filled with jealousy.

Why was God so unfair?

They were clearly all human, but some could grow up to be like this!

Look at Su Lüyun crying on the man’s chest. Even with such an affected and artificial manner, for anyone else, it would be unbearable to watch, but when Su Lüyun did it, it was exceptionally beautiful and particularly endearing!

Zhao Yuzhu was green with envy, so she decided to cut straight to the chase: “Cousin, there are no outsiders here; you don’t need to feign affection with me!”

Su Lüyun was incredulous: “Feigning affection? Yuzhu, are you saying I’m feigning affection?!”

Zhao Yuzhu couldn’t help but mock, “Do you still have feelings for Zhou Changdong? He went on a mission right after you married, without even consummating the marriage, and was gone for three years. In these three years, your resentment was heavier than a ghost’s. You told me so many times that you regretted marrying Zhou Changdong. Now you’re acting like this? Who are you putting on a show for?”

Su Lüyun pressed her temples: “You also said Changdong was gone for three years. Can’t I have an opinion? I’m a newlywed wife, not a widow, but he was away for three years and didn’t even send me a letter or a telegram. Can’t I be angry? Don’t I even have the right to be angry?”

As this “green tea” woman spoke, she glanced at the man’s forehead—it only had one sentence: [Wife, I was on a secret mission outside; I didn’t deliberately not send you a letter. It’s all my fault!]

Good, very aware of a married man: regardless of right or wrong, apologize first.

“But no matter how angry I am, he is still my husband!”

“The more I express my dislike for him, the more harshly I scold him, it just shows how much I care about him. If I didn’t care, didn’t miss him, didn’t hope for him to come back soon, do you think I’d say a single word about him?!”

“Between a couple, who doesn’t argue in bed and make up by the bedside? Who divorces over a few complaints or expressions of dislike?”

“Others might.”

“But I can’t. I’m stubborn. Since I married Zhou Changdong, the grave I’ll be buried in will also be of the Zhou family!”

“…”

Upon hearing these words, Zhao Yuzhu was dumbfounded!

She could finally understand Wang Guifen’s mood before she left; it was as if she had seen a ghost.

But Su Lüyun had no interest in Zhao Yuzhu’s expression. She only looked affectionately at Zhou Changdong—[Wifey~]

Oh, and a lingering “~” tail too.

Having a wife who’s so devoted to you, you must be in a good mood, right?

Su Lüyun was incredibly satisfied, then had the leisure to look at Zhao Yuzhu. Zhao Yuzhu opened her mouth, but Su Lüyun spoke first: “Cousin, if brother-in-law had an accident at the construction site, would you abandon him?”

Li Wenchuan was right outside the door!

Zhao Yuzhu was annoyed that she mentioned her husband, but she still said without hesitation, “Of course I wouldn’t!”

“Yes, you wouldn’t leave Wenchuan, so why are you trying to persuade me?” Su Lüyun retorted.

Zhao Yuzhu scoffed: Can you and Zhou Changdong compare to us?

She touched her still-flat stomach, “Cousin, Wenchuan and I are having another one!”

“You mean, because you’re having a child, you’re willing to stay with Wenchuan?” Su Lüyun looked at her.

Zhao Yuzhu was a bit impatient. “Cousin, what are you saying? I mean, Wenchuan and I have been married for three years, and our relationship is very good. Now that we have two children, we would never get divorced. But you are all alone with no ties!”

After speaking, she lowered her voice, “Besides, didn’t you get together with Sun Congxing, Cousin?”

Su Lüyun, of course, knew who Sun Congxing was, according to Zhao Yuzhu.

He was the scumbag who had swindled the paper character out of money and affection in the book.

But this scumbag himself was also a despicable person who abandoned his wife and children.

He had gone to the countryside in his early years and even had a wife and children there, but he never brought them back, returning to the city alone.

In the book, after enduring a long period of “living widowhood,” the paper character became restless. While Sun Congxing’s deliberate seduction played a role, Zhao Yuzhu’s instigation also contributed.

Ultimately, though, it was the paper character’s lack of self-control. After all, her role as cannon fodder demanded she do something outrageous to be slapped in the face, didn’t it?

According to the original plot, after divorcing Zhou Changdong, she wanted to marry this scumbag, but the Su family disagreed.

Her parents were experienced people; older ginger is spicier. They unanimously felt this man was no good and wanted her to break up with him.

But the paper character, disregarding her family’s objections, not only absconded with a sum of money she’d extracted from the Zhou family but also borrowed a large amount from her relatives on her maternal side. Then, abandoning this mess to her family, she ran off to the south with this scumbag.

However, she scurried back in less than half a year.

No other reason than the money she’d brought had been gambled away by Sun Congxing, that gambling addict!

He even tried to sell her!

But the paper character was somewhat clever, so she managed to escape back.

The plot arranged for her to return and be “slapped in the face” because, by that time, Zhou Changdong had already woken up!

And he had started a business, earning his first pot of gold!

Unfortunately, though, the “true self” had arrived, and her destiny could not follow the original plot.

Su Lüyun looked at Zhao Yuzhu, a mocking expression on her face: “Sun Congxing? Is that the man who came back from the countryside?”

Zhao Yuzhu looked at her feigned posture, growing a bit impatient.

However, to get her cousin to go with Sun Congxing, she didn’t hold back, saying, “Cousin, why are you asking that? You’ve always…”

“Don’t you dare mention that shameless scoundrel in front of me!”

But before she could finish, Su Lüyun interrupted her!

And then, she threw herself onto Zhou Changdong again, whimpering: “Changdong, I beg you, please wake up and stand up for me? When you were away before, I was almost molested, and you couldn’t stand up for me! Now you’re back, but you’re like this, you can’t get angry for me either, wuwuwu~”

Zhou Changdong was truly distraught. He had no idea that someone had actually tried to bully his wife!

[Wifey, don’t cry. When I’m better, I’ll definitely get angry for you!]

Su Lüyun cried while looking up at his inner thoughts, a smile forming in her heart. Even though he wasn’t awake yet, how was it that this “cheap husband” looked more and more pleasing to her eyes?

Zhao Yuzhu was utterly disgusted!

It truly proved the saying: bitches are naturally pretentious!

Who is she putting on this deeply affectionate act for?!

“Cousin, you didn’t say that before!” Zhao Yuzhu looked at her and said, “Didn’t you say you had a good impression of Sun Congxing? Have you forgotten all those things you told me before?”

Su Lüyun scoffed: “I don’t even know what you’re talking about! I had a good impression of Sun Congxing? You must have lost your mind! I am a married woman!”

“From head to toe, that bastard Sun doesn’t even compare to a single hair on my Changdong! With a towering, upright husband like Changdong, would I even bother to look at him? I’m not blind!”

“But you’re saying I had a good impression of him? You must have a problem with your brain? If your brain’s got issues, you better hurry and get a hospital appointment!”

“…”

Zhao Yuzhu was furious: “Cousin, how can you swear at me? This was clearly you…”
