For Fang Su, it’s absolutely false to say Old Master Feng didn’t have genuine feelings, after all, they had shared a bed for years. Even if he still missed his late wife, it wouldn’t be possible not to develop some feelings for Fang Su, especially since she was young, beautiful, and tried to please him wholeheartedly, being kind to the children his previous wife left behind. This undoubtedly touched Old Master Feng.
Similarly, Old Master Feng believed that after years together, the woman by his side, Fang Su, should have had genuine feelings for him too. But today, what he had heard and seen forced him to doubt his assumptions.
This woman, his wife of many years, actually wanted to abandon him and be with another man.
And that man was her lover before she met him, the first man in her life. Honestly, he was both angry and jealous.
His anger stemmed from Fang Su being too indiscreet, not caring about his reputation, tangling with her former lover at the entrance of the Xi Family courtyard. The worst part was that the man didn’t want anything to do with her, even pushing her away, yet she persistently tried to hold him, wanting him to look at her.
His jealousy wasn’t that simple envy between young couples. It was more that he felt he had misplaced his feelings for this woman, and as a man, his dignity had been brutally trampled on by her.
No matter how angry or jealous he felt, he couldn’t simply sever ties and let her go, fulfilling her "devotion."
The reason?
For now, he couldn’t afford to lose face!
--- Once their marriage fell apart, it would prove to everyone in the courtyard that he’d been cuckolded.
Even if the cuckoldry wasn’t fully confirmed yet, he couldn’t control what others said. People might already be gossiping about the couple.
Thinking about this, Old Master Feng couldn’t help but feel suffocated inside.
He didn’t know why, but constantly, the Feng family had been providing the courtyard with gossip for years.
With eyes half-closed, he thought and thought until clarity suddenly hit him like a bolt from the blue.
Feng Lu and Fang Su, one his daughter, the other his wife. These two women... it was because of them that the Feng family became the center of gossip, causing him to lose face repeatedly, until today, his reputation was completely ruined.
"I... I didn’t do it, stop making baseless accusations!" Fang Su defended herself: "Today... today my mind just got muddled. That’s all. I didn’t think properly; my head was spinning, and I lost my composure."
She wanted to leave the old man behind, wanted to rekindle her romance with Jiang Boya, wanted to become Mrs. Jiang. But how could she not see that Jiang Boya no longer felt the same way about her as he did years ago?
Given this, what use was there in her pondering more?
Jiang Boya wouldn’t want her!
Besides, although the old man in front of her had stepped down from his position, he cared about his face. Even if she asked for a divorce, considering his own reputation, would he agree?
Fang Su’s mood at the moment was not much better than Old Master Feng’s. However... thinking of Kang Li, the child who had crawled out of her belly, and realizing that Jiang Boya recognized Kang Li as his daughter, she felt there might still be a chance to reconnect with Jiang Boya.
Secretly plotting in her mind, Fang Su’s mood unknowingly improved, which clearly reflected in her change of expression.
Old Master Feng had eyes. He noticed the change in Fang Su and could imagine just how disappointed he felt.
