Campus Ace Girl

Chapter 1238: Chapter 1338: I’m Done Serving You

After a long silence, Lin Hua finally spoke: "Jingyao, I didn’t think that way."

His slender, handsome fingers moved gently upward, finally lightly brushing her delicate cheek, his voice dangerously gentle: "Then show me, cancel the concert."

She shook her head: "Jingyao, I am not like you, I won’t spend a fortune just for my feelings."

She looked up at him: "You don’t know how much effort I’ve put into today."

King Jingyao patted her face: "You don’t need that now, you just need to be a good Mrs. Wang."

"Is that so?" Lin Hua laughed self-deprecatingly, and after a while she said hoarsely: "What if I refuse, would you forcefully intervene?"

His gaze was intense.

She looked at him.

He spoke: "If you’re unwilling, there are two possibilities: one is I intervene, the other is..."

He spoke softly: "I give up and fulfill you."

When he said those six words, Lin Hua’s heart trembled for a moment, and she blinked in disbelief, her voice sounding like she was in a dream: "Give up, fulfill?"

He watched her without speaking or explaining.

Tears welled up in Lin Hua’s eyes, and after a while she laughed lightly, laughing and crying: "Okay."

After she said okay, she suddenly turned to leave.

King Jingyao’s arm wrapped around her, warmly kissing her: "Where are you going?"

Her body stiffened unnaturally, her tone was cold: "Weren’t you going to give up and fulfill?"

As she spoke, she forcefully broke away from him, running towards the cloakroom. By the time King Jingyao chased after her, she was packing her things, and the anger he’d barely contained flared up again, "What is this?"

Lin Hua snapped out of it, then said: "I’m moving out."

King Jingyao sneered: "What about Xiao Yue, what will you do?"

"I’ll take him with me," Lin Hua said without thinking: "It’s not like you have time to be with him anyway."

King Jingyao was quite furious, slowly sat down, lit a cigarette and asked her: "Do you think the old lady will let you take Xiao Yue?"

"As long as you agree," Lin Hua was at the end of her rope: "King Jingyao! The old lady makes all the decisions, is the child ours or hers?"

Her tone was slightly aggressive, and King Jingyao suddenly took out the cigarette from his mouth, spat out a curse, then sneered: "All these years the old lady has truly doted on you, have you not seen how she treats others? She stayed with you for a few days when you gave birth to Xiao Yue, she’s nearly eighty now, she rushed over immediately when you fell ill, while she might not be able to be as attentive when Xiao Yue gets sick. You say everything is decided by her, why don’t you say that in front of her, you don’t need to tell me."

His high and aggressive demeanor was something Lin Hua couldn’t stand. After marriage, he indeed treated her very tenderly, maybe not always accommodating her but he was quite caring. But when there was a dispute, his authoritative posture appeared, and Lin Hua couldn’t stand it, throwing the clothes in her hands: "You, aren’t you just using the old lady against me? When I don’t want something, you say it’s her decision, King Jingyao where are you good at? All these years I’ve just been a part of you! It sounds nice to say I’m a lady, it sounds bad to say I’m just a decoration? Even the art I’ve learned for many years, you say to give it up then I have to give it up, all because I met someone, because of your pathetic self-esteem, and your lofty reputation."

She finished in one breath, her breathing was a bit chaotic.

King Jingyao stared hard at her, after a while, he spat out a few words softly: "All my kindness to you has been eaten by a dog!"

He was, after all, a very proud man, usually very composed, but now facing his significant other.

He tried to suppress his anger but ultimately couldn’t, speaking coldly: "Do whatever you want, but you can’t take Xiao Yue, figure it out."

Lin Hua was stunned.

King Jingyao paused, normally coaxing her would solve the issue, but today he didn’t want to coax.

Every word she said pierced his heart... Heh, Lin Hua thinks he should be impervious to swords and spears, right? But no matter how high and powerful he is, he is ultimately just a mortal, at home just her husband and Xiao Yue’s father. As a husband, he cares about He Qi, what’s wrong with being a bit jealous? Why doesn’t she comfort him? He wanted children for so long, puzzled why it wasn’t happening, but she was always on medication, now thinking back he felt pathetic, begging for her love.

Thinking now, why bother, there are countless women outside waiting for his favor, why hit a brick wall here! He’s not young anymore, he wants a woman to love him wholeheartedly, to make him feel less exhausted.

The office matters are already giving him headaches, and at home, there’s someone disobedient.

King Jingyao was truly determined this time, he didn’t coax Lin Hua, leaving her with no way out. She silently sat in the cloakroom, sitting on her luggage, resting her chin on her knees... She didn’t cry, just felt lonely.

Her mother passed away two years ago, now acting impulsively, saying she wants to move out, but where can she go when she does, the house is there, but home isn’t... She knows she can’t take Xiao Yue, not because of the old lady, but because of King Jingyao, his innate pride won’t let her have the child.

Lin Hua was also in chaos, not sure how her marriage ended up like this, just because of a concert, coincidentally meeting He Qi a few times, but she vaguely knew why He Qi came.

She never went out, King Jingyao never came in, even later went to the guest room for a shower.

Late into the night, almost dawn, Lin Hua finally went to bed. The bedroom felt quite lonely with him not there. She reached for the blanket, quietly gazing into the night, even breathing hurt...

She endured like this until she was startled awake in the morning, immediately opening her eyes.

However, right as she awoke, she heard King Jingyao leaving, followed by the sound of footsteps downstairs. Lin Hua sat up slightly, and soon the sound of a car in the yard indicated he had gone to the office without having breakfast.

Lin Hua got up, tidied herself, and went downstairs, asking the servant, "Did sir not have breakfast?"

Mrs. Zhang hesitated.

Lin Hua asked again, "What’s the matter?"

Only then did Mrs. Zhang ask, "Madam, did you and sir have an argument? Sir said he was full of anger."

Lin Hua felt a sharp pain in her heart but didn’t say anything, quietly sitting down at the dining table.

Mrs. Zhang set the table while trying to comfort her, "Madam, don’t worry too much. Where don’t husbands and wives quarrel? You fight at the head of the bed, and reconcile at the foot. Sir cares so much for you... A bit of coquettishness and it’ll be fine."

Lin Hua lowered her gaze, and after a long while, said, "This time, I’m afraid coquettishness won’t be enough."

The words spoken last night were hurtful... Lin Hua knew in her heart that it wasn’t just things said in anger, but a long-held frustration coming to the surface. What she wanted to know was, apart from all this, were his words about giving up, and fulfilling her true?

She thought about it, but Mrs. Zhang disagreed, continuing, "No way! Sir really cares for you."

She hesitated before slowly saying, "I’m not sure if I should mention this... Sir’s marriage to his former wife was arranged, so although he respected her, he didn’t care for her like he does for you. We servants can tell."

Lin Hua smiled faintly.

Mrs. Zhang continued, "In a quarrel between husband and wife, someone always has to concede first, right? Sir didn’t have breakfast, perhaps you could bring some breakfast over, and you’d reconcile?"

Lin Hua felt moved.

On one hand, she didn’t want to stay at odds with him; on the other hand, she worried about his health. He had had stomach problems before, how could he neglect himself like this? After thinking it over, she agreed.

This delighted Mrs. Zhang, who immediately packed a breakfast box for Lin Hua, saying, "After the morning meeting, sir will want to eat."

Lin Hua smiled lightly, finished eating, and drove over.

Her arrival caused quite a stir at the office because Lin Hua had never visited since her marriage, mainly because she didn’t want to attract attention. At the doorway of King Jingyao’s office on the third floor, she saw Secretary Wang standing anxiously, pacing back and forth.

"Jingchuan, why are you standing outside?" Lin Hua walked over, smiling lightly.

Wang Jingchuan stiffened, then turned his head, momentarily stunned, before quickly asking, "Why are you here?"

The argument from last night made Lin Hua a little embarrassed to mention, so she said, "Jingyao didn’t have breakfast, so I brought it over."

Actually, even if she didn’t say it, Wang Jingchuan knew, because Mr. Wang had been in a huge rage all morning. He was so nervous his pants seemed about to get soaked, rubbing his hands anxiously, "Mr. Wang is in a meeting, maybe... I’ll hold the food for him?"

Lin Hua had always trusted him, but at this moment, Wang Jingchuan’s forehead was slick with sweat, which betrayed him. She looked at him confusedly, then quickly pushed the door open...

The moment the door opened, she forgot to breathe.

Her heart ached.

King Jingyao was indeed seated at his desk, but there was a young girl sitting on his lap. The girl had one arm around his neck, acting coy, and he amiably entertained her with a few words; he didn’t do anything else but also didn’t push her away...

Half-heartedly.

The sound of Lin Hua opening the door startled the people inside. The young girl immediately stood up upon seeing Lin Hua, somewhat nervously addressing her as, "Mrs. Wang."

She quickly said, "I have some matters to deal with, Mr. Wang, I’ll head out first."

She hurried out, quickly and anxiously, probably fearing reprisal from Lin Hua.

Once the unrelated person exited, Lin Hua’s gaze returned to King Jingyao.

She forgot to breathe, and her heart was pained.

King Jingyao also quietly watched her.

After a long time, she slowly went inside, walked to his desk, set down the breakfast box, and softly said, "Mrs. Zhang told me you didn’t have breakfast, so I brought it over."

After saying this, she turned to leave, but he caught her hand...
