Campus Ace Girl

Chapter 1249: Chapter 1349: Stop Crying, Please?

Lin Hua lowered her gaze: "At that time, maybe Xiao Yue was a burden, you could give him to me."

"Xiao Yue will be the heir of the Wang Family." King Jingyao said softly, "After remarrying, I won’t have any more children."

Lin Hua looked up, bewildered, staring at him...

King Jingyao remained composed: "You should know me, my decisions don’t change. Think carefully if you want to continue living like this, even if you have to compromise with me, or... it’s better not to see Xiao Yue all the time."

Lin Hua’s breathing was painful, her voice very soft: "Jingyao, are you threatening me?"

"Suppose I am." He still smiled calmly, "Lin Hua, you are my wife, I don’t want to use such tactics against you, but... if you insist on leaving, I will tell you the harsh words first, and let you decide."

Lin Hua pressed her lips tightly, the atmosphere was extremely tense for a moment, which worried Aunt Zhang standing by the kitchen door, rubbing her hands not knowing how to persuade. In terms of status, she is a servant and shouldn’t meddle in her master’s matters, but Jingyao was someone she watched growing up and settling down, and Madam was a good person. They lived well together, but now they were having problems, making Aunt Zhang unsure of what to say. After hesitating for a long time, she finally forced a smile, "Look, always fighting when you meet! The old lady had already expected this and gave me special instructions."

King Jingyao naturally understood her intentions, so he smiled faintly, "Oh? What did the old lady say?"

With his encouragement, Aunt Zhang continued shamelessly, "The old lady said no matter how you quarrel, you still need to eat, especially since Jingyao’s stomach has always been bad, and now without his wife by his side, he doesn’t know how to take care of it anymore."

Aunt Zhang even imitated the old lady’s tone while speaking, remarkably accurate.

King Jingyao was slightly moved, feeling that his anger just now had betrayed the old lady’s good intentions. Lin Hua couldn’t help but think of Jingyao’s past struggles and how good he was to her, and fell silent immediately.

In the end, it was King Jingyao who broke the stalemate, laughing, "The old lady is right, you need strength to argue when you’ve eaten your fill."

"I’m not arguing with you." Lin Hua said helplessly, "I’m serious."

King Jingyao’s expression softened slightly, "Let’s talk after dinner."

With that, he sat down at the dining table first. Lin Hua glanced at him and also sat down. Aunt Zhang served them food, and then King Jingyao said, "Let’s eat together, there’s no one else here."

Aunt Zhang didn’t hold back, joining them to eat.

As they ate, she felt a bit sad. Ordinary men might have time to coax their wives in such situations, like He Qi, who comes over every few days, but the gentleman doesn’t have that luxury, constantly tied down by things... The Madam’s attitude remained, truly challenging whether she came or not.

She wanted to say something, but Jingyao gave her a glance, making her dare not mention it again.

The three of them ate in silence, and after finishing, Jingyao went to the balcony to smoke. Just as he was finishing, he heard the sound of a cello from the master bedroom. He paused, surprised that she... was still playing the cello.

Extinguishing the cigarette, he walked to the master bedroom, pushing the door open...

By the floor-to-ceiling window, Lin Hua sat quietly playing the cello, her long hair draped over her shoulders, the warm light casting a peaceful and tranquil glow on her profile.

King Jingyao watched silently, realizing that at this moment, she was serene and happy.

Because she had no time to think of anything else, her world was filled only with music. And this realization left him feeling blocked, not knowing exactly what he felt... Later, he realized it was sadness, because he couldn’t make her happy anymore; her happiness was no longer tied to him.

He did not disturb her, just watched her, as if returning to the past when he was still Mr. Wang, and she was a famous female musician. He held a pure admiration for her, and she was fond of him. King Jingyao wanted to ask her if she still felt that way, but he knew he didn’t need to ask, for asking would only make him sad.

King Jingyao gave a bitter smile, instinctively reaching for his pocket to smoke again, but then realized and gave up...

Lin Hua finished playing a piece, and as she looked up, she saw him.

She stared at him quietly.

She was extremely beautiful, as she always had been over the years, just like when he first met her... Under her gaze, he walked towards her, leaned down, and before she could turn away, he held her delicate face with one hand.

Her face was a bit cold, perhaps because of the chill in the air. As he touched her, the warmth of his palm made her flinch, maybe because she had grown unaccustomed to intimacy after so long apart, or perhaps she still resisted his touch.

She tried to pull her face away, but he wouldn’t let her, holding onto her somewhat forcefully. Gently, his fingers brushed over her delicate skin, his voice rasping softly, "Lin Hua, we were so good, how did we come to this point?"

She looked up, her eyes dark as ink, she wanted to speak, but he stopped her, his voice gentle and soft, "Lin Hua, I agree to everything you want."

She trembled, gazing at him in confusion.

King Jingyao’s fingers kept gently brushing her cheeks, "I agree to a divorce! When I said I’d marry a new wife, it was just to provoke you. You can see Xiao Yue any time you want, you can even have him stay with you temporarily, as long as it’s safe."

Lin Hua was completely stunned, staring at him in disbelief, only after a long time did she murmur, "Jingyao, how could you be willing to..."

He was always proud, not allowing others to defy his will. If he didn’t want to let go, no one could make him. He had always been this forceful and domineering; she thought it would take years of arguing for a divorce... Perhaps by then she would have lost her edge, forgotten the original reason for asking for a divorce.

But now he agreed...

Lin Hua’s lips trembled, and King Jingyao gently touched her eyes, speaking gently, "Don’t cry... I agreed, so why are you crying, you’re not a little girl anymore, why do you still cry so easily?"

Lin Hua still wanted to cry. He helplessly and self-deprecatingly whispered, "Because I couldn’t give you happiness, so I’m willing to let go for your happiness... Whether it’s to pursue music or reconcile with He Qi, I should at least give you a chance to choose, right?"

Lin Hua shook her head, finally letting her tears fall...

There was grievance, and emotions that couldn’t be described.

King Jingyao tried to soothe her, "Alright, no more crying. I’ve agreed to everything, yet you still cry? If you keep crying, I’ll take back the decision and won’t divorce..."

After saying that, he also felt a bit melancholic, why he was so miserable, needing to agree to a divorce just to see a little kindness from her. If the old lady found out, she might say he’s lost the last bit of his dignity!
