512: No money required
For some unknown reason, Feng Chen noticed that Lin Qingyue seemed more spirited than before; her face was rosy and full of life, unlike her previous half-dead state.
The most crucial thing was that Lin Qingyue's gaze towards him felt off, as if she had done something wrong.
Seeing this, Feng Chen suddenly recalled his dream of Lin Qingyue leaving him.
“Impossible, Qingyue couldn't possibly…”
Feng Chen suddenly had an absurd thought: his wife might be secretly seeing another man!
But on second thought, how could that be? Lin Qingyue had been pregnant for so long, she was almost due; how could she have the energy to find another man? She wouldn't be able to satisfy a man's desires at all!
Besides, who would be interested in a pregnant woman? Only some pervert would have such an idea!
“Where did you go just now? Why couldn’t I find you anywhere?”
Feng Chen asked anxiously.
Seeing Feng Chen’s worried expression, and recalling her recent sweet moments with Su Xuan, Lin Qingyue immediately felt a surge of shame.
After all, she had indeed done something wrong; although the final step wasn't completed, her various transgressions still told her that her recent actions constituted infidelity.
“No, this matter must never be exposed. You must stay calm, Qingyue!”
Lin Qingyue thought to herself.
“Where else could I go? Didn’t I tell you? I went to exchange your wine for food and drink for the child!”
Lin Qingyue said nonchalantly.
“So that’s it! I thought you had died! If you died, your family would beat me to death!”
Feng Chen breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed he had overthought things.
Hearing Feng Chen’s words, the slight guilt Lin Qingyue had just felt immediately vanished. She hadn’t expected that Feng Chen was only pretending to worry about her; in reality, he was only worried about himself!
He still remembered she had a family!
“Alright, since you’re back, help me get something to eat. You should still have some of the money you just exchanged, right?”
At this, a hint of greed appeared in Feng Chen’s eyes. His two jars of wine were unopened; they should be worth at least ten taels of silver.
“I already said, the money was for food and drink for the child, not for you!”
Lin Qingyue said coldly.
In fact, when she left, Su Xuan had given her a good amount of money, but Lin Qingyue would never give it to Feng Chen.
“You…”
Hearing Lin Qingyue’s words, Feng Chen stiffened. He hadn't expected Lin Qingyue to say such a thing.
“I’m starving to death. If you don’t give me food, are you trying to starve me to death?”
Feng Chen shouted.
“You have hands and feet, how could you starve to death? Besides, didn’t you pawn my gold bracelet before? You can’t possibly be completely penniless!”
Lin Qingyue sneered.
Her gold bracelet was quite valuable; she didn't believe Feng Chen would have spent it all.
“You…”
Feng Chen’s face flushed. Indeed, he still had some change on him, but that was his gambling money for tomorrow! How could he bear to spend it?
“In short, no money, no life. If you want to eat, go get it yourself!”
“You’re a grown man; do you really expect a woman like me to support you? Aren’t you ashamed?”
Lin Qingyue said irritably, then she returned to her room.
Looking at the messy and dilapidated room, and recalling Su Xuan’s golden and splendid home, Lin Qingyue couldn’t help but compare them.
“What am I even doing! Why do I have to stay in such a dirty and messy place?”
Lin Qingyue also couldn’t understand why she preferred to stay in this broken-down place rather than go to Su Xuan’s.
However, a voice in her mind told her that she had to do it this way.
“Forget it, don’t think so much. Anyway, I’ll see Young Master Su tomorrow. By then, there will be a warm big bed and Young Master Su’s embrace!”
Recalling her previous experiences with Su Xuan, Lin Qingyue’s pretty face flushed. How could such good fortune happen to her?
The Young Master from before was like a deity, suddenly appearing and saving her.
Everything was just too coincidental, so coincidental that Lin Qingyue even suspected it was fate's arrangement.
“Next time we meet, I can’t let Young Master Su touch me all over. I am a married woman; how can I behave like this with him? What kind of decorum is that!”
“But if I don’t let him touch me, will Young Master Su dislike me? After all, right now, the most valuable thing about me is myself…”
In an instant, Lin Qingyue thought of many things, mostly related to touching and kissing.
She was only in her twenties, also in her prime, not much different from women in their prime.
They say that women are more lustful than men in that regard, and now it seems the internet truly doesn't lie!
“Forget it, I’ll just let him do what he wants! Young Master Su is my savior. Whatever he wants to do to me, let him do it!”
“As long as he doesn’t harm me and my child, isn’t it up to him what he wants to do?”
Lin Qingyue thought it over and over, and finally decided that when she saw Su Xuan again tomorrow, she would just let him do as he pleased again.
Of course, as long as it wasn't too excessive; she was still pregnant and close to giving birth.
If anything unexpected happened, it would be bad for her, Su Xuan, and her child.
Looking at the closed door of Lin Qingyue’s room, Feng Chen thought for a long time. Lin Qingyue wasn’t like this at this time before.
Now, after going out once, she seemed like a different person. Why was that?
“Perhaps I really was too much of a bastard before!”
Feng Chen thought to himself.
Although he knew he was wrong, he wouldn't change, and couldn't change.
Once something like this is ingrained, it’s basically very difficult to change, let alone Feng Chen had been depraved for so long that he had already given up on himself.
“Forget it, I’d better go out and find something to eat first. See if I can steal something to eat on the way…”
“If all else fails, I’ll go fight with dogs for food. I’ve practiced martial arts for a few years, so I shouldn’t be unable to even beat a dog, right?”
Feng Chen finally made a decision: he decided to save the money for gambling tomorrow instead of buying food.
After all, food was everywhere, so why buy it? If he bought it and ran out of money, how would he gamble?
Meanwhile, Su Xuan, observing from the shadows, revealed a satisfied smile.
This Feng Chen was truly courting death; he was a great help to him! He absolutely had to thank him properly!
“As a token of my gratitude, I shall invite you to a trip to Hell in the future!”
Su Xuan smiled wickedly.
