"Yun Zong".
Bie Yunzong remained silent with a sullen face, then stretched out her neck and showered him with kisses.
Chapter 60
After repeating this kissing and releasing twice, Su Yanxi got annoyed, frowned, pushed away the endless, smelly dog, wiped her mouth with the back of her hand with a red face, and glared at the person without any momentum.
"Are you ever going to stop? You haven't said a word, but you've given me a mouthful of saliva..."
Su Yanxi wondered what it meant to just kiss without saying a word? They were kissing quite happily, but this guy's face was really dark and really sour.
What, a kiss doesn't count as making up, and you still want to argue with him?
He tried to figure out Bie Yunzong's intentions, but unexpectedly, after staring at him with a dark face for seven or eight seconds, the nemesis suddenly sniffed, tilted his head back, and began to wail loudly.
"Waaaaah—"
Don't let him be unable to squeeze out tears, only able to wail. Regardless of whether the emotional expression is adequate or nuanced, the sheer force of his voice is truly frightening!
"I'm just a good-for-nothing, I just love my wife!"
"I don't want to separate from my wife, I don't want to!!"
These shouts completely stunned Su Yanxi, who stood there blankly with a flushed face, not moving for a long time.
Mr. and Mrs. Su, who were holding their breath and peeking at their two children kissing through the half-glass door, were almost scared out of their wits by their son-in-law's crying and shouting!
The one who was most furious was Su's mother, Yang Hongjing. A former vocal teacher, she immediately stood up and shouted in a loud voice, "Yanxi, what did you say to Yunzong again?"
Su Yanxi looked surprised and innocently spread her hands towards her mother: "I...I didn't say anything?"
All he did was say "enough" and tell Bie Yunzong to stop kissing him with his saliva.
They've kissed me three times already. Anyone would get annoyed by that!
What happened? Why are you so sensitive after just one argument?
"Still dare to argue?" Yang Hongjing stood between Zong Xi and his son-in-law, protectively hiding her son-in-law behind her. "Wasn't it you who said disrespectful things? Wasn't it you who said you were going to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce first thing in the morning?"
It's said that a mother-in-law's eyes grow fonder the more she looks at her son-in-law. And Su Yanxi's mother's fondness for Bie Yunzong is truly extraordinary!
Yang Hongjing used to be a vocal teacher and is used to being strict with her juniors. If Su Yanxi's independence and self-reliance are inherited from her father, then her aloofness, pride, and competitive nature must be inherited from her mother.
But how could such a strict teacher-mother like Bie Yunzong so much, given his free-spirited and easygoing personality! Putting aside Bie Yunzong's wealth and strong family background, his infatuation and love for Su Yanxi is what Yang Hongjing is most satisfied with!
In Yang Hongjing's eyes, her son-in-law is perfect, the ideal man and son-in-law! If there are problems between her son and son-in-law, it goes without saying that her son is the one who starts the trouble first!
"Yanxi, be honest, has Yunzong really treated you well?" Yang Hongjing said with heartache, speaking up for Bie Yunzong. "We're married now, so let's not talk about his past extravagant gifts and luxury cars. Just look at what's happened recently; when you say you want to see him and ask him to bring you a handbag, doesn't he fly there to see you without any complaints?"
"A three-hour flight, not including boarding, landing, and airport transfer time! He values you so much and loves you so much, how can you even bring up divorce?"
“I…” Su Yanxi was speechless and retorted softly, “It’s not entirely like that, Mom, listen to me, there’s a misunderstanding.”
He wondered if Bie Yunzong wasn't entirely without resentment, right? When he made Bie Yunzong fly over late at night, Bie Yunzong had indeed uttered a few complaints…
"What misunderstanding?" Yang Hongjing refused to listen to her son's explanation, standing firmly in defense of her son-in-law. "Just because there's a misunderstanding doesn't mean you can so easily say you want a divorce?"
The way his mother-in-law protected her son deeply moved Bie Yunzong. He became even more audacious, wrapping his arm around Yang Hongjing's and bursting into another round of wailing.
"Mom, you have to stand up for me! That night, Yanxi said that I could only call him 'wife' for one more night at most, and the next day might be different!"
"Waaaa, Mom, doesn't this mean you're cutting all ties with me?"
Don't make it sound so pitiful and aggrieved!
He made no mention of the conflict between the two of them, or the drunken night he had not fully explained; his words were full of heartbreaking accusations against his heartless wife!
If Su Yanxi hadn't been involved, she probably would have been deceived by this scoundrel's words too. She stared at her nemesis husband in shock and bewilderment, her beautiful, bright eyes filled with a huge, unsettling expression—
Little brat, you're quite the actor, aren't you?
"Don't be afraid, Xiao Zong. Mommy will definitely not let him succeed." Yang Hongjing coaxed a child, turned her head to pat Bie Yunzong's head, then turned back and sternly called to Su Yanxi, "Son, come forward one step."
The scene just now was quite humorous, because Bie Yunzong is 1.86 meters tall, which is very tall. Although Yang Hongjing is considered tall, she is a woman after all, and her height has shrunk a bit as she gets older, so she is only a little over 1.6 meters tall overall.
Don't let him hide behind his mother-in-law and cry like an Alaskan Malamute who has lost a fight and then goes home to his old tabby cat to cry and get support.
Su Yanxi couldn't help but chuckle as she imagined a cat and a dog, only snapping back to reality after being called a second time.
"Yes, Mom." With a serious and composed tone, Su Yanxi stepped forward. "What did you say?"
"Did you bring your marriage certificate?" Yang Hongjing changed the subject.
Su Yanxi was stunned again: "Huh?"
"Let's talk about whether you brought it or not."
"I brought it, it's in my bag." Su Yanxi pointed to the back gate. "What do you need it for?"
Yang Hongjing quickly signaled to Su's father, who seemed to be half-attending to the shop but was actually completely focused on watching the show from the doorway: "Aimin, stop watching and go get our son's bag!"
Upon hearing this, Su's father immediately picked up the handbag that Su Yanxi had left behind when she entered the room.
Su Yanxi took the handbag and obediently found the marriage certificate inside.
Before he could even take it out, the certificate, which was still slightly red, was snatched away by his mother with lightning speed.
Chapter 61
"Okay, you can keep it here." Yang Hongjing put the documents in her pocket. "I'll keep Yunzong's too. I won't return the documents until you two resolve your conflict—that's to keep an eye on your desire for a divorce!"
Yang Hongjing glared at Su Yanxi, clearly targeting Su Yanxi.
Su Yanxi felt like she had been wronged.
After addressing her own son, Yang Hongjing added to her good son-in-law, "Xiao Zong, don't worry, things will definitely be fair at your mother-in-law's house. If this conflict isn't resolved, your mother-in-law won't let you leave this house!"
"Say what you mean, don't be afraid, okay?"
Bie Yun nodded vigorously, pretending to have teary eyes, and said, "Thank you, Mom. Mom is so good!"
Yang Hongjing responded with a pitying "Eh."
After dissuading her son from his bad idea of divorce and taking away the marriage certificate that was required for divorce, Yang Hongjing felt relieved and returned the space for Zong hope and her son to be together.
After watching her parents leave and close the back gate, Su Yanxi breathed a sigh of relief and looked helplessly at her aggrieved husband.
"Now you can talk to me face to face, right?"
He noticed that there were indeed tears in the corners of the dog's eyes, and that its pitiful howling earlier wasn't entirely an act. He felt both sorry for it and amused.
"You were the one who said you wanted some peace and quiet, you were the one who checked out and left without a word, you were the one who deliberately disappeared and made it impossible for me to find you. Now that we've met, you're the one who's crying your eyes out in grievance."
"Honey, what do you want?"
Su Yanxi's use of "husband" was perfectly natural. Although he wasn't as talkative as Bie Yunzong, who couldn't wait to mention his wife every minute of every day, the way he called her "husband" was exactly the same as Bie Yunzong's.
It was precisely this natural and easy way of saying "husband" that touched Bie Yunzong's heart. Anyone who knows Bie Yunzong even slightly knows that he can't stand Su Yanxi calling him "husband"—yet he also loves it when Su Yanxi calls him "husband."
His face suddenly darkened, as if he were angry and his expression was aggrieved and accusatory one before an emotional outburst.
He asked Su Yanxi, "Shouldn't you have something to say to me?"
“Words…?” Su Yanxi was unusually slow to react. “What words?”
"Um, is it 'I'm sorry'?"
He straightened up and sincerely bowed to Bie Yunzong in apology.
"I'm sorry, honey. I really shouldn't have said those things. I didn't consider your feelings, and I didn't take into account your image in front of my roommates."
"I will find an opportunity to explain to my roommates, and when we are able to go public with our relationship in the future, I will definitely clarify it to the public."
Su Yanxi apologized very sincerely, but at the same time wondered what Bie Yunzong wanted to hear.
If this is the apology he's offering, then he's already said it, hasn't he? But if it's not an apology, what else could he possibly say? Is he going to immediately point out the most thorny issue?
“No, that’s not it.” Bie Yunzong shook his head, his expression pitiful but his tone serious. “I want to know, did you ever love me?”
"You're with me not just for a long-term, stable meal ticket... right?"
After Bie Yunzong finished speaking, Su Yanxi finally understood why Bie Yunzong was angry, furious, and why he had been hiding and waiting for her to come find him!
It wasn't some complicated feeling of disappointment or being let down; it was something very simple—he started to doubt himself!
He actually! He actually doubted whether Su Yanxi had ever loved him!?
What do you think?
Su Yanxi couldn't help but laugh as she opened her mouth to speak, and asked Bie Yunzong in return.
"We've been together for seven years. Do you think I've ever loved you?"
Are those size 30 underwear labels crazy? Are they addicted to walking their genitals?
Bie Yunzong sniffed, thought for a moment, and then squeezed out an uneasy answer through gritted teeth.
"Loved...loved?"
After answering, he touched the tip of his nose and muttered to himself.
"If you don't love me, you can't have slept in the same bed with me for seven years, right?"
"Oh... although it's not seven years at most, five years is still quite a lot."
Su Yanxi found it increasingly amusing and asked again, "You haven't cleared up the rumors of your infidelity, yet I've gone all the way back to my parents' home to find you and speak to you in a kind and gentle manner. Do you think I love you or not?"
"That means you really love me." Bie Yunzong nodded. "You got angry before we even met, and you didn't even find an axe to chop me in half; wife, you like and love me so much!"
Bie Yunzong sniffed again, then hummed and wrapped his arms around his wife's slender waist.
"I love my wife the most!"
"Still crying? If I say you're shameful, you're just howling without any tears; if I say you're not shameful, the way you're putting on a show is really scary." Su Yanxi tiptoed and used her slightly cool fingers to wipe the corners of her aggrieved dog's eyes. "Alright, alright, I know, stop howling."
"Waaaa, my wife..."
His wife's soft, fragrant body nestled into his arms, and Bie Rongzong, who had been somewhat restraining his grievances, let them out even more violently. He hugged his beautiful wife and rubbed his face against her chest.
"I didn't cheat, I really didn't cheat!"
"I'd abandon my wife to go out and cheat on her with other women. Am I out of my mind?"
"What if he really got his face squeezed by the door?" Su Yanxi scolded as she found a handkerchief to wipe her husband's face. She led him upstairs to the living room on the second floor. "I'm trying to comfort you and feel sorry for you, but don't take advantage of my kindness. Don't think I can't tell you're trying to whitewash yourself."
