Chapter 1512 Heartache, Discontentment, Jealousy
Shen Luo’an sat by Guan Queye’s bedside. She was already asleep. Her breaths were steady, and she looked very peaceful. Although her complexion was a little pale, her sharp features still made her look beautiful.
Guan Queye was holding on to Shen Luo’an’s hand tightly. It was almost as if she was afraid that he’d run off in her dreams.
Shen Luo’an was looking through the various medical prescriptions, trying to make out the symptoms that they were meant to treat. His mobile phone at the side suddenly rang. It was from a friend in Kingstown.
They rarely met up in person but had remained close. When Shen Luo’an saw it, he wanted to answer the call. When he failed to pry his hand out of Guan Queye’s grasp, he gave up and rejected the call.
He sent a text message to explain: [Someone is asleep. What’s up?]
The reply came quickly: [I’m having supper. Guess who I saw?]
Shen Luo’an asked: [Who?]
The reply: [Ye Youyou, your wife! Buddy, you’re being cuckolded left, right, and center! I saw the interactions between the two of them. It’s not something that’s been going on for only one or two days. This is a relationship that has clearly been cultivated for a while!]
When Shen Luo’an saw the message, he stared at it for a long time not knowing how to reply.
I’ve been cuckolded? How far had they gone?
Following that, the other party sent a multimedia message. The picture was transmitted quickly. Ye Youyou was sitting on a chair eating. Her smile was sweet and beautiful, and her cheeks were ruddy. She look extremely happy. Opposite of her, a man sat majestically. He looked fit and very tall. His facial features were striking, and he had a hard aura about him.
Shen Luo’an knew this man well. He was none other than Li Jinnan.
When he saw this man’s face, his hand tightened around his phone. His jaw clenched in fury. As he glared at the picture in the phone, anger bore out of his eyes.
I indeed have been cuckolded from long before! Long before we divorced, I suspected that there was something going on between them. Then again, if there had been nothing at all, why would Li Jinnan have come all the way to the Capital to instigate Guan Queye?
If there had been nothing at all, why would Li Jinnan have hired a lawyer to dig up my dirty past, despite knowing I was already married to Ye Youyou, and use the information as leverage to force me into a divorce?
In the short span of a few months, everything changed. Given the circumstances then, had I refused to divorce Ye Youyou, not only would the Guan family have made a fuss, all my past sins would have resurfaced to haunt me.
He was unable to bear it at this point.
Li Jinnan had initially thought that his marriage to Ye Youyou had been nothing but a piece of paper. After the divorce, Shen Luo’an realized that matters were nowhere as simple as he had assumed. This was especially so after seeing the picture.
A fire burned in his heart. It had barely been a few days since the divorce, and Ye Youyou was already out in public with Li Jinnan. Didn’t she insist before that they were both innocent? Bullsh*t!
“B*tch!” Shen Luo’an spat out between his clenched teeth. In the deepest recesses of his heart, he felt something sprout and slowly spread. It was heartache, discontentment, and jealousy.
Guan Queye was in the midst of a sweet dream when she suddenly felt her hand being squashed. Her brows furrowed tightly together before her eyes sprung open.
The sight that greeted her was the face of Shen Luo’an crazy with jealousy. In shock, she called out, “Luo’an…”
