Chapter 32 – Jealousy
Very well, she even dared to affectionately call that person by his first name in front of him. That had only made Zhong Zhendong even angrier.
“An old lover has found you. Are you trying to rekindle old feelings?”
She frowned deliberately: “What’s the matter with you? Since you knew he is my old lover, you should also know that it is all in the past. Wasn’t you to told me not to dwell on the past and old lovers? And also that you didn’t care about my past and old lovers?”
“Hmph, getting smart-tongued. But you are right, I don’t care about the past, but if that becomes the present that is another history. Be careful not to piss me off. And don’t you dare cuckold me…”
“Don’t confuse me with any other woman. Zhong Zhendong! Since we’ve known each other, you’ve always lied to me. When have I ever lied to you?”
Zhong Zhendong took a deep breath, stared at her, and then spoke: “Don’t try to change the subject. I know that the guy surnamed Bai wants to win you back. Moreover, you had seen him every day. You guys had gone out together to dinner, to watch movies, and also took part in the parent-teacher conference. If you want to marry him, you have to ask for my permission!”
She knew it, this man said he didn’t spy on her. Nonetheless, whenever he was abroad, he always knew exactly what she had done and who she had met. He may refuse to admit, but he was a pervert.
In the past, she was used to be afraid of him. But now she had figured it out on her own. Thus she had become immune to his possessive behavior.
“You’ve done a pretty good job. But who said I’m marrying him?”
“Don’t play dumb! I already know that he had asked you to marry him! Tang Xianlian, I may not be the man you love the most in your life, but I am the best man for you. If you don’t take me, you’re a fool who deserves to be treated badly!” He said quite angrily.
If she hadn’t been used to him being so bossy, she wouldn’t have been able to calm down. But she wasn’t angry, instead, she wanted to laugh. In fact, she even held it back. That man usually sweet-talked her, yet today he was in his most honest form. He may be full of jealousy, but that was quite of her liking.
In the face of his jealousy, she calmly asked: “Really? And do you know that I had rejected him?”
Zhong Zhendong was flabbergasted. It wasn’t even necessary to ask that question. The words “I don’t know” was clearly written on his facial expression.
“Did you say no?”
“Yes.” She answered him quite effortlessly, yet he was quite incredulous. All that pent up anger had nowhere to go. And for the first time, he was blinded by her.
This time it was Tang Xianlian’s turn to be arrogant. Yes, she had declined him. That day, when Bai Shuli had asked for her hand in marriage, she turned it down on the spot.
Honestly, she was quite tempted. Right in front of her, there was already the father and the son. Although they may have taken a long detour, she would finally reach the path she was so dedicated to pursuing. Her dream was right in front of her. So long as she nodded her head, it would all come true. A son that she dearly loved, as well as an outstanding husband. They would form a normal happy family.
However, in the end, she still declined him. The temptation was genuine, but so was the lack of hesitation.
She saw that the jealousy in Zhong Zhendong’s eyes had disappeared. Moreover, it had been replaced by a burning glow, so that even grim on this mouth was slowly disappearing.
“Why?” He asked.
“I’ve already agreed to be with you, haven’t I? Although I easily get into trouble with men, it doesn’t mean I’m a philanderer. As long as you are willing to be kind to me and loyal to our feelings. I will remain by your side, and won’t fool around with others.”
