Chapter 973: Useless When You Love Someone
Although she was a little useless, what was wrong with that? You became useless when you fell in love.
If being a little more cowardly could make Shao Zun stop looking at other women, she would be cowardly to the point of stupidity.
That was what annoyed Su Shenfan the most. She admitted her mistake more sincerely than anyone else, but would make him angry again in the blink of an eye.
“Su Lian, there are plenty of good and obedient beauties in this world. You’re not the only one, understand?” Su Shenfan pulled a long face.
Bu Yaolian bit her lip, tears welling up in her eyes. “I know, I’ve always known. I really couldn’t sleep last night because you weren’t here, which is why I had a few drinks with Princess Zi. I didn’t go anywhere else.”
“I know.”
If he didn’t know that she really did only have a few drinks with Gu Bailu, his anger wouldn’t have faded so fast.
He looked at her, only to see her crying like a child.
He remembered that when Dog Two cried, he would be willing to even pluck the stars from the sky for her.
“Why are you crying? I didn’t even hit you.” Su Shenfan pulled her into his arms and stroked her back. “You’re so delicate. What will you do if I stop doting on you in the future?”
Bu Yaolian said, “If you don’t dote on me, I won’t be able to live.”
Su Shenfan slapped her bottom. “Say that again?”
Bu Yaolian shook her head. “No, no, I was just talking nonsense.”
Su Shenfan held her hand. “It’s cold today, and I don’t have any handwarmers prepared. Your hands will swell up like dumplings. Let’s see if I like you then.”
Bu Yaolian recalled her original body, where her hands weren’t just like dumplings, but were as fat and swollen as bear paws.
If Su Shenfan found out about her original body, he would loathe her from the bottom of his heart.
Gu Bailu was right. She was dead if he found out.
So, she had to lose weight before he found out.
“Why aren’t you saying anything?” Su Shenfan raised her chin. Seeing the sadness in her usually carefree eyes, his heart jumped.
Had he been too harsh?
Bu Yaolian wiped her tears. She didn’t expect to cry like this. She wasn’t someone who cried so easily.
Unknowingly, tears streamed down her face.
She was probably grieving for her fat self.
Who would want to be so fat if they could help it? She had tried many methods in the past, even tying herself to a bed to stop eating and drinking, but she never lost weight.
It was because of that disaster caused by a drug when she was little that her body became so fat.
But she trusted Gu Bailu. She said her method was effective, so Bu Yaolian had to try it.
“That… Cough, actually, there aren’t that many beautiful and obedient women in this world.” Su Shenfan coughed and wiped the tears from her face. “But there really are few who look so ugly when they cry.”
Bu Yaolian pouted. “I’m pretty even when I cry.”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk. Who taught you to be so cocky?”
“I learned from you.” Su Shenfan was the best at showing off.
“You’re getting more and more delicate. You’re crying before I even say anything. I came back in the middle of the night, only to meet a drunkard. Shouldn’t I cry, too?”
Speaking of last night, Su Shenfan still felt wronged. How could this woman understand how he had hurried back despite his exhaustion to spend time with her?
