The price of a hangover was not small. Bae Seonghwan's bloodshot eyes made it impossible for him to focus and he had a terrible headache.
He rubbed his forehead with his right hand, trying to make himself feel better. However, when he closed his eyes, all he could think of were painful scenes.
The woman he had loved for his entire life had married his younger brother yesterday. He could no longer be happy. The established fact had already cut countless bloody wounds into his heart.
For the rest of his life, he could only live a bleak life. He would no longer have a sincere smile. He could no longer have a trace of love for Siqiao in his heart because she had already become his sister-in-law.
Last night, in order to vent the pain in his heart, he had been drinking non-stop. When he was drunk, he could forget all the unhappiness in his heart, but when he woke up, the pain was still like a ghost that constantly harassed his wounded heart.
The pain seemed to have been branded on his chest and could not be erased.
Bae Seong-Hwan, who had lost his fighting spirit overnight, seemed to have experienced many vicissitudes of life on his handsome face. He looked listless, and it was impossible to tell that he was a wise and strategic leader.
There was no confidence in him. He was like a defeated rooster after losing the woman he loved.
Knock, knock, knock!
The sound of knocking on the door startled Bae Chenghuan, and his disheartened eyes suddenly brightened.
His current depraved appearance was not allowed to appear in front of anyone. In front of others, he, Bae Seonghwan, represented an awe-inspiring presence. He was absolutely not allowed to show any signs of weakness in front of anyone.
Bae Chenghuan raised his voice. Although his lips were a little dry due to the hangover, he was still sexy. At this moment, he looked calm and confident.
"Come in."
He watched as the door gradually opened from a thin crack. A shy and beautiful face appeared in front of the door, and she spoke in a gentle voice shyly.
"Big brother Chenghuan, can I come in?”Song Siqiao blinked and asked.
Pei Chenghuan's chest tightened. It was difficult for him to express his true emotions in front of the innocent Song Siqiao. He forced a smile and looked at her. Her appearance was extremely alluring.
However, this flirtatious appearance was not something he could have.
Bae Chenghuan looked at the beautiful face that made him feel all sorts of emotions and could only nod his head dotingly. He had never known how to reject her.
As long as she was willing to speak, he would definitely do it himself and do it until she was satisfied. All of this was just to see her smile again.
Song Siqiao slowly walked into his room. This was a room filled with a manly musky scent that made one feel relaxed and happy. Every time she stepped into this room, she would have this feeling. Therefore, whenever she had something to do since she was young, she would always think of Big Brother Chenghuan because only he could patiently solve her problems.
"At this time, you should be on a plane to Europe for your honeymoon, right?”When he faced her, it was always difficult for him to control his rich emotions.
"I canceled it." Although Song Siqiao did not seem to care, the sentimental emotion that flashed in his eyes was still seen by the meticulous Pei Chenghuan.
"Why cancel something that has already been decided?”He had watched her grow up. It was not that he did not know that she had suffered, but although he pitied her, he did not dare to comfort her wantonly. He was afraid that the surging emotions would sweep over her uncontrollably.
"Yes…I don't want to go. There's still a lot of time in the future anyway.”She forced a smile and didn't dare to tell the truth. The truth was that Chengyu didn't want to go. Moreover, on their wedding night last night, they were legally husband and wife. They didn't develop any intimate relationship at all.
She could tell that Chengyu didn't want to touch her at all, but she couldn't tell anyone about this embarrassing matter, so she could only hide it in her heart and be unhappy.
Bae Chenghuan looked at the understanding her.
Why couldn't Cheng Yu accept such a kind and merciful woman and stop trampling on her feelings? Could it be that only Pan Qingying could occupy Cheng Yu's heart?
After a trip to Taiwan, Pan Qingying's appearance had hooked Cheng Yu's heart, making him unable to tolerate the existence of Miss Qiao. He didn't understand what was so good about Pan Qingying. A woman like her who was greedy for money was not worthy of Cheng Yu's love.
He didn't believe that he couldn't make Chengyu accept Siqiao's feelings with his own ability. For Siqiao's good, he wouldn't hesitate even if he had to let the world down.
"I'll talk to Chengyu. I can see that you really want to go, right?”
"I…"
"Don't lie to me. You're not a woman who knows how to lie.”
" Big Brother, I'm…here to chat with you, not to gossip…" If Big Brother went to look for Chengyu, it was hard to guarantee that Chengyu would not misunderstand that she was the one gossiping and complain to Big Brother.
" Don't worry, leave this matter to me. I won't embarrass you. Chengyu is already your husband. He should have the responsibility of a man. It's only been a day since we got married. He shouldn't make you unhappy.”He would never let Siqiao suffer any grievances.
" I'm not unhappy, really. On the contrary, becoming Chengyu's wife is my greatest wish in my life. Now that this wish has been fulfilled, I should be satisfied. How can I not be happy?”
Although becoming Chengyu's wife was her lifelong wish, capturing Chengyu's heart was her lifelong wish.
In the past, she knew that Chengyu's heart was not on her. No matter how much she circled around him, he always treated her as a little sister next door, without any feelings between men and women.
Therefore, ever since she was sensible, she had secretly taken this relationship to heart and believed that it was a relationship that was difficult to complete. However, she never expected that when their parents suggested that they get engaged, he, who she thought would not agree, unexpectedly agreed.
At that time, her mood was mixed with shock in addition to joy.
She thought that Chengyu was moved by her silent sacrifice, which was why he agreed and wanted to sacrifice for her.
When the two of them officially became husband and wife in the church, she felt relieved. She thought that there would not be any changes in her life.
Who knew that Chengyu would tell her frankly on her wedding night that he wouldn't touch her? To him, marrying her was just an explanation to his parents. He didn't love her at all.
It was like a bolt from the blue. She could not digest the news and could only watch as Cheng Yu took the blanket and lay down on the sofa to sleep.
He would rather curl up on a small sofa than sleep with her. He would rather let her lie alone on the bed, tossing and turning in pain, trying to figure out his incomprehensible thoughts.
Bae Chenghuan's spirited eyes stared at her guilty face.
"Everyone knows what's on your mind. Otherwise, you wouldn't have ignored everyone's advice and insisted on running to Taiwan to find the missing Chengyu.”He would never allow Cheng Yu to make Si Qiao depressed and upset.
Her smile was the most beautiful thing in the world. No one could take it away from her. He would remove all her unhappiness and sadness for her one by one.
She deserved happiness.
"Big brother, there is something that has been bothering me for a long time. I hope you can tell me honestly.”It was her brother's mention that gave her the chance to ask the question in her heart.
She had always wanted to find an appropriate time to ask her brother, but she did not know how to ask. Now that she had this opportunity, she naturally would not let it go.
"You want to know what happened to Chengyu in Taiwan, right?”
"Do you know what I want to ask?"
"You're very innocent. People can see through your thoughts at a glance.”He smiled, but he also began to think about how to lie to appease her uneasy heart.
"Since you know, can you take it?”
" Siqiao, my answer is still the same as before. Chengyu is still Chengyu, he hasn't changed. Believe me, he absolutely loves you. It's just that he's too embarrassed to express his feelings.”He skillfully changed the topic.
Was that so?
Did Chengyu love her?
Perhaps before last night, she was immersed in the joy of being a bride and thought that Chengyu loved her. But after last night, she did not want to lie to herself anymore.
Chengyu was not happy about this marriage from the beginning to the end. She only found out about it last night. From the beginning to the end, she was the only one who was in high spirits and rejoicing about this marriage.
From those lonely eyes, she suddenly felt as if she had done something unforgivable and had to bear the hatred in Chengyu's eyes.
This hatred was very strange. She could feel that it was not directed at her.
He seemed to hate someone through her body!
On their wedding night, the groom occupied the sofa and was unwilling to sleep with her. She was sad, but she did not want to suffer such coldness for no reason, so she began to secretly observe that something was wrong with him.
For some reason, an image suddenly flashed through her mind. She and Chengyu had met a woman in a restaurant in Taiwan. That woman had an unusual relationship with Chengyu. Chengyu had personally admitted that he had an intimate relationship with that woman, but it was just for fun...
Ever since Cheng Yu returned to Han Country, he had become gloomy and taciturn. The coldness in his eyes clearly showed his grief and indignation. Although he used to be cold, he was not as cold as he was now. In the eyes of others, he had experienced a lot.
She, who had been immersed in the joy of being a bride, did not notice his unhappiness. She thought about it again and again. There was no other reason for Chengyu's change except for a woman.
"Big Brother, when we were in Taiwan, Chengyu and I met a woman in a restaurant. At that time, I could feel Chengyu's mood change.”However, at that time, she did not want to admit this cruel truth. Besides, Chengyu had already admitted that he was just playing with that woman.
But now, she felt that something was wrong. She was not clear about the undercurrent between Chengyu and that woman, but she felt that Chengyu seemed to be hiding something from her.
Bae Chenghuan was shocked. On the surface, he was still unmoved, but he was troubled by Song Siqiao's sharp mind. How could he weave a beautiful lie to not make her suspicious?
Once she found out the truth, she was afraid that she would not be able to accept it.
"Chengyu even admitted to me that he had an intimate relationship with that woman.”
Pei Chenghuan frowned unhappily. He was a little angry. He was angry at Pei Chengyu for saying such thoughtless words. What if he hurt Song Siqiao's heart?
"Men put on an act before marriage. I believe that Chengyu was just playing with that woman. Now that he's married to you, he definitely won't dare to mess around outside.”Seeing Song Siqiao's sorrowful expression, Pei Chenghuan could only cheer her on.
"Can I really rest assured?"
"With me around, Chengyu won't dare to bully you. If he dares to bully you, I'll definitely not let him off.”He tried to comfort her with a reassuring tone.
"I've always treated you as my most beloved big brother because you've always taken care of me. But if you know how Chengyu feels, please tell me and don't hide it from me, okay?”
She could not be Pei Chengyu's wife without any scruples because his bad mood always affected her passion.
"Silly girl, believe me, the woman Chengyu loves is you. Otherwise, why would he marry you? You're already his wife, so don't worry, okay?”
Song Siqiao nodded. However, the reason she nodded was because she did not want Pei Chenghuan to be troubled by her uneasy emotions. Perhaps she was just asking for trouble.
However, the melancholy and confusion in her eyes touched Pei Chenghuan's heart. He decided to have a long talk with Pei Chenghuan.
Bae Seonghwan had no choice but to urgently fly to the Japanese branch office to settle a contract. With this busy schedule, it was already two months later when he set foot in Han.
As soon as he returned to Han country, he received a call from Pei Yun `er not long after he stepped out of the airport. She didn't say much, but her sigh revealed something unusual.
She hoped that he could return home immediately to settle the matter between Pei Chengyu and Song Siqiao.
At that moment, he was anxious and wished he could grow wings and fly home.
The usually optimistic girl's tone was unusually sad. As a sensitive person, Song Siqiao's worried face immediately appeared in his mind.
He immediately wiped away his fatigue and returned home with a burning heart.
When he returned home, his family members all looked at him with troubled expressions. His appearance was like he was everyone's savior, and everyone looked at him with hope.
"What happened?" He looked at his parents.
The two elders of the Pei family only sighed and then frowned, looking helpless.
"Sigh…"
Seeing this, Bae Chenghuan looked at Bae Yun `er," You were in a hurry to summon me back. What happened?”It must not be what he had guessed along the way.
The weak Siqiao could not accept that the person Chengyu loved was not her, so he had been hiding this fact. Now, everyone in the family was looking at him with worry. Could it be that Chengyu had really done something irreparable?
Pei Yun `er pointed upstairs with a serious expression," Second brother wants a divorce."”
When Second Brother proposed a divorce in front of everyone, everyone thought he was joking at first, including Si Qiao. However, his second brother still had a determined look on his face. This action frightened everyone.
His parents were the first to come back to their senses.
However, no matter how much everyone tried to persuade him, Second Brother still insisted on getting a divorce, which made everyone's emotions unstable and uneasy.
After saying that his decision could not be changed, he ignored everyone's clamor and went upstairs, leaving everyone in the living room to look at each other.
Not long after her second brother walked into the study room, in order to defend her marriage, she walked upstairs excitedly, intending to ask her second brother for an explanation.
Therefore, Si Qiao was in a stalemate with her second brother in the study.
Half an hour had already passed. How was the negotiation going?
When Bae Chenghuan heard this, veins popped on his forehead." Divorce!”He growled and became agitated.
It was no wonder that his family was so nervous about such a big matter. He gave off a terrifying aura and rushed upstairs without saying anything.
Upstairs, Pei Chengyu's voice came from the study room. He was beating up the weak Song Siqiao cruelly.
Song Siqiao's sobbing voice could be heard from the study room. Her pitiful sobbing struck Pei Chenghuan's heart. If it wasn't for the fact that he was wary of their identities, the thing he wanted to do the most when he stepped into the study room would be to embrace Song Siqiao and dote on her.
Bae Chenghuan's reluctant gaze glanced at Song Siqiao's haggard and lonely face, and his anger instantly rose. She was already very thin, but now she was so skinny that she did not look like a normal person. She was so thin that she could not withstand a gentle breeze.
Pei Chengyu was the main culprit. He had to skin him alive. In just two short months, he had tortured her until she was out of shape!
She remembered that two months ago, she was immersed in the joy of being a bride. Although she was a little worried about Chengyu's emotions, it was not to the extent that she was in such a state now.
Bae Chenghuan's eyes flashed with suppressed pain. He looked at Song Siqiao's silent crying face and his heart ached unconsciously.
Was he wrong?
Pushing her into his brother's arms was not a sign of love for her, but the source of her pain?
In fact, he should know that Cheng Yu's heart had always been on Pan Qingying, and pushing Si Qiao into his arms was only to harm her.
For Song Siqiao's sake, Pei Chenghuan looked at Pei Chengyu coldly.
"You want a divorce?" He would never allow such a thing to happen.
"I was never enthusiastic about this marriage from the beginning to the end.”There was a hidden meaning in his words. He glanced at Song Siqiao's crying face and could not show her any mercy.
Song Siqiao looked at Pei Chenghuan in shock. So he had always known how Pei Chengyu felt, so why didn't he tell her the truth?
Now that she had to accept this cruel reality, it was simply making her wish she was dead!
Song Siqiao held his head in his hands and curled up in the corner of the study room in embarrassment.
Why was this happening?
She had no idea what she had done wrong.
Cheng Yu actually wanted to divorce her. Although he had always been respectful to her during the two months of marriage, she thought that as long as he had time to adapt, he would definitely accept her identity. She just did not expect this to be the result.
She didn't want it!
Song Siqiao screamed silently in her heart. Her emotions were already stretched to the limit. All the pain was like a needle piercing her heart that was riddled with holes.
She was in so much pain!
They had only been married for two months, and she could actually become Chengyu's second wife. How could he say the word divorce so easily? He was desecrating this marriage and treating it as a child's play!
Seeing the emotional Song Siqiao crying, Pei Chenghuan wanted to give Pei Chengyu a good beating. However, he only glared at him with hatred and clenched his fists, unable to appease the crying Song Siqiao.
"I won't allow it." Bae Chenghuan clenched his fists and released them.
"Once I decide on something, no one can change it.”
"Siqiao didn't do anything wrong."
"I don't love her."
Song Siqiao's already pale face became even paler, and his body was on the verge of collapsing.
If Si Qiao continued to stay here, she would only be hurt badly by Cheng Yu's ruthless words. Cheng Yu insisted on spreading the matter out, which undoubtedly made her think more deeply about Qiao's pain.
He had to protect her from harm.
"Siqiao, go out first. I'll talk to Chengyu.”
Pei Chengyu was silent.
Song Siqiao looked up at Bae Chenghuan with tears in her eyes. He always appeared to comfort her when she was at her weakest, but what she needed the most now was his comfort. If it wasn't him, everyone's comfort would be in vain.
Her wounded heart could no longer heal.
"I will ask Chengyu to give you an explanation.”
Song Siqiao shook her head. She had completely lost confidence in any promises Pei Chenghuan made. When Pei Chenghuan said the word 'divorce', her world had turned upside down and collapsed.
Which woman would be able to walk out of this earth-shattering change with such determination? Her wounded heart could no longer be healed by Bae Seonghwan's guarantee.
Cheng Yu had admitted the fact that he did not love her and had already sent her to hell to suffer.
Shrinking up, Song Siqiao left the study in despair.
She left because she didn't want to embarrass herself further and no longer hoped that Pei Chenghuan's guarantee could win back Pei Chengyu's iron-forged heart. However, just as she stepped out of the study, Pei Chengyu's voice rang in her ears.
"I don't want to harm Siqiao again..."
She suddenly stopped in her tracks, a tiny sliver of hope rising in her heart. She did not believe that Pei Chengyu was really that ruthless to completely exclude her?
She wiped away the tears on her face with her hand and silently pressed her body against the wall.
There was still hope…
With this mentality, Song Siqiao eavesdropped on their conversation.#
