Chapter 273: Chapter 273 Return to My Side_1
Despite being coerced by Third Young Master Jun, she still failed to meet Old Sir Shang’s expectations.
"So, you did such a disgraceful thing, and you can’t even be bothered to explain it to your own husband?" Shang Jingchen looked at her angrily, his heart aching. Where had she placed him amidst all this?
"Do I need to explain to you? When you were flaunting Yuan Jiayin and publicly embarrassing me, did you ever consider me your wife? Did you ever explain to me?"
When everyone was laughing at her and she was humiliated, who cared about her feelings, her sorrow?
"Shang Jingchen, don’t be so selfish. You can have a lover and mistress, why can’t I have an adulterous husband? What right do you have to reprimand me?"
"..." Shang Jingchen was left speechless.
Looking back, he thought of the numerous occasions where he’d deliberately ignored her while flaunting Yuan Jiayin, effectively subjecting her to ridicule. Waves of guilt surged within him.
Indeed, he had crossed the line in many aspects. His hatred blinded him, making him believe that she schemed against his grandfather to marry into the Shang family. So, he had taken every opportunity to seek revenge, ensuring she led a difficult life.
"I want you to cut off all connections with that man immediately." He barely managed to speak through gritted teeth, he couldn’t bear the sight of the woman he loved, lying in another man’s arms.
"Why should I cut him off just because you told me to? Why don’t you cut off relationships with Yuan Jiayin?" What a selfish man.
Shang Jingchen quietly said, "I will break up with her, so you must also break up with that man."
"What did you say?" Ye Lu was dumbfounded, unable to believe the words he was uttering, "Have you gone mad?"
Did he not love Yuan Jiayin to the point of obsession? To keep Yuan Jiayin, he had even subjected her to such humiliation.
"Yes, I’ve gone mad!"
Shang Jingchen’s chest heaved with agitation. Looking at her, his eyes radiated intense pain.
"I am bloody mad. Knowing that you’ve been sleeping with another man, knowing that you’ve cuckolded me. But I’m so insane, I still want you back. Despite everything, I want you as my wife. The pain is unbearable, I can’t stop yearning for you!"
Ye Lu drew a sharp breath, staring at him, tongue-tied.
This revelation was so sudden; it left her stunned. Couldn’t believe what he was saying. Didn’t he always hate her to the core?
"Do you realize what you’re saying?"
"I’m a damn fool for falling in love with a woman who cuckolded me!" Shang Jingchen roared, the pent-up frustration in his heart finally released.
Yes, no matter how much he masked his true feelings with hatred, he couldn’t hide his jealousy. He had genuinely fallen in love with this woman.
Ye Lu was genuinely left speechless. This news was staggering.
Shang Jingchen was actually in love with her.
Her mind was in a whirl.
"Ye Lu..." Shang Jingchen suppressed his jealousy and pain "I can disregard your past with that man. I want you to come back to me."
Ye Lu was genuinely shocked. He appeared so angry yet he was willing to swallow this bitter pill, just to have her return to him.
"What about Yuan Jiayin?"
Shang Jingchen’s face turned pale, he gritted his teeth, "I will make it up to her."
He would do his best to make it up to her. However, the title of Young Mistress Shang was something he couldn’t give her.
"Men really are heartless." Ye Lu scoffed, suddenly feeling some sympathy for Yuan Jiayin, "Unfortunately, I do not love you, and I will never return to you."
She would never forget the man who once hurt her. She might appear to be unaffected on the surface, but deep down, she would never accept him.
