The Big Boss & His Dainty Wife - Chapter 367:
Chapter 367: Chapter 367: Treated Like a Fool_1
The man briskly walked up to her, adamantly repeating, “We will remain husband and wife.”
Hai Xiaotang stared wide-eyed at him, “…Are you ill?!”
“We never divorced!” Dongfang Yu dropped another bombshell.
Hai Xiaotang was dumbfounded this time.
She looked at Dongfang Yu shockingly, full of disbelief.
“Did something distressing happen to you? Are you not thinking clearly?”
Hai Xiaotang tentatively asked, she really doubted his sanity.
Because she was sure they were divorced, they had obviously divorced.
As if reading her thoughts, Dongfang Yu explained confidently, “We never divorced. The IT system at the Civil Affairs Bureau had a glitch that day, and our information wasn’t successfully entered. They asked me to go back the next day to complete the process, and we never did.”
Hai Xiaotang’s pupils dilated dramatically.
She felt like she was hearing a ludicrous story, “Are you joking with me?”
“This is the truth!”
Hai Xiaotang suddenly felt a surge of hot blood rushing to her head, she felt like she was about to explode.
“So, we’ve never been divorced?” She asked, incredulously.
Dongfang Yu simply nodded: “Yes!”
“You intentionally hid this from me, didn’t you?!!”
“Yes!” Dongfang Yu admitted generously.
“Damn you!” Hai Xiaotang yelled out angrily, “Dongfang Yu, how could you do this? What the hell are you trying to pull? Do you find it fun to play me?!”
Hai Xiaotang’s eyes instantly welled up with tears.
She genuinely hadn’t expected Dongfang Yu to treat her this way.
She had always thought they were divorced, that she was free and could start a new life.
Even after the incident with her grandfather, she foolishly agreed to remarry him.
But as it turned out, they had never been divorced.
No wonder he so generously let her make the decision when they were discussing remarrying.
She had even been unknowingly moved by this…
But what was the result?
The whole time, he was just playing her for a fool!
Hai Xiaotang was really, really angry. It was the kind of humiliation one feels after being made a fool.
And this wasn’t the first time he had played her for a fool.
Yes, it was indeed ridiculous. She had been fooled by him over and over again, taken for a fool.
Hai Xiaotang suddenly felt a chill in her heart, she laughed coldly, “Dongfang Yu, I have really seen your true colors now! Tell me, how much more have you hidden from me? How much longer do you intend to keep treating me like a fool? Do you really want to push me to my death? Why did I have to run into someone like you?!”
Dongfang Yu’s hands, which were at his side, involuntarily clenched tight!
He exerted great restraint to stop himself from explaining that he hadn’t been playing her, hadn’t considered her a fool.
He only hid the truth because he couldn’t bear to let her know.
This was the only thread of hope he had been secretly clinging to.
But these things, he couldn’t say them out loud. He had said too much already, but Hai Xiaotang didn’t care.
Her heart had died towards him.
No matter how much he said, it would only be a self-inflicted insult, only adding to her burden and confusion. It would only make her want to escape even more, to avoid him altogether.
And it would only add to his pain…
Therefore, he couldn’t let her know what he was really thinking, he had to bury it deep in his heart, until it rotted away completely.
But would that day ever come?
Dongfang Yu felt a profound sense of despair.
Having these thoughts, Dongfang Yu responded with a dull look in his eyes, “I apologise for keeping it from you all this time, but I never treated you like a fool! I wanted to hide it, I didn’t want to tell you!”
