Chapter 233: Unreasonable
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
He curled his lip, speechless. Women were just so troublesome.
Wang Hu couldn’t be bothered to go after her and cajole her so much.
After all, they had already been husband and wife for so many years. They even had two kids by now. The two of them were already so familiar with each other that they couldn’t get any more familiar than that.
Things were no longer the same as what they had been back then.
They were already an old married couple. How could they possibly still whisper sweet-nothings to each other so endlessly and shamelessly like what they had done back then?
He thought calmly for a moment. In the end, he still got up and went after her.
No matter what, he should still try and cajole her. What was he to do? He was a man after all.
It was just that there was something that even he himself didn’t realize. His cajoling had already lost that sense of nervousness and importance that it had back then.
It was just like a daily task. He also had a strong sense of security in knowing that there was nothing to fear.
He came to the hall. There weren’t many people around at this time; all of them were people on shift duty.
An imposing Di Baijun sat at the top with a frosty look on her face. She was looking at some news and intel.
“Greetings, my lord.”
At the sight of Wang Hu entering, the people that had stayed behind immediately bowed.
Wang Hu’s back straightened even further, and he looked as stately as a mountain and gave off an imposing aura. He gave a casual wave for them to spare the formalities. Then, he walked up calmly to the top, pulled a chair over, and sat next to Di Baijun.
After that, he took out his cell phone and started to look at something on it seriously.
Everyone in the hall naturally didn’t dare to look at him too much. They went about their own business cautiously and quietly, without daring to make any loud sounds.
For a moment, the hall became even quieter.
It was as if Di Baijun hadn’t noticed Wang Hu coming. She continued to look through the news and intel in her hands with incredible focus.
Neither husband nor wife spoke, and it stayed quiet between the two of them.
A few seconds later in the quiet venue…
“Baijun…”
A voice that sounded a little ingratiating entered Di Baijun’s ears.
Di Baijun was unmoved. As if she didn’t hear him at all, there was no change in her expression.
There was no change in Wang Hu’s expression either, except that his voice—which had become a tad even more ingratiating—continued to secretly ring out.
“My bride! My wife!”
Upon seeing that she remained unmoved, Wang Hu secretly felt rather resigned. He felt like baring his fangs and brandishing his claws, but he gave up the thought after thinking about it.
She was just a shrew. He was a man. There was no need for him to hold it against her.
“The children’s mother!”
The somewhat ingratiating voice rang out again, causing a corner of Di Baijun’s eye to twitch. At once, she looked up from the intel and glanced at everyone else in the hall.
It was only when she saw that no one had reacted that she finally breathed a sigh of relief. She couldn’t help but glare at Wang Hu.
That jerk. All he knows is being shameless.
She glared at him, the warning in her eyes terribly obvious: ‘Don’t you dare shout weird things.’
Wang Hu acted as if he didn’t notice anything. Instead, he even became happy. It was fine as long as she showed some sort of reaction.
Immediately, underneath his unchanging stern and imposing exterior, a voice transmission rang out once more: “The children’s mother, why don’t you just tell the children’s father what kind of immoral and treacherous deeds he has committed to make the children’s mother angry? The children’s father will definitely repent for his mistakes and turn over a new leaf. Tell me. If you tell me, I’ll change for sure.”
Di Baijun turned to the side a little. The corners of her lips moved subtly before she immediately returned to her original state. She became even more dissatisfied.
To think that jerk still hasn’t realized what he has done wrong even at this point…
He doesn’t care about me at all anymore. As expected, he’s changed.
Has he been bewitched by that fox?
She arched a graceful brow slightly as thoughts started to race through her mind uncontrollably. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.
She felt the urge to rip that fox into pieces.
“You’ve made a mistake.”
She glared at him coldly and secretly gritted her teeth. She thought: I’ll give that jerk one last chance.
Wang Hu’s eyes lit up, and he nodded at once. Without any hesitation, he said: “Yes, yes. I was wrong. I admit my mistake.”
“In that case, what have you done wrong?” asked Di Baijun coldly.
A difficult look came over Wang Hu’s countenance. His mind ran at a high speed as he found himself fairly lost for words. He thought: I would have changed my ways a long time ago if I knew what I’ve done wrong. Would I still need to ask you about it?
As he thought about it, his voice also quickly rang out. Firm and sincere, he replied: “Everything I’ve done is wrong. My biggest mistake is that I didn’t make my children’s mother happy.”
Di Baijun’s eyes widened as she glared at him. She said coldly and sternly: “Be serious. I’m not joking around with you.”
“I’m very serious here. I’ve deeply realized the error of my ways.” Wang Hu looked like it as well.
“Hah, you’ve realized the error of your ways? In that case, why don’t you tell me what exactly you’ve done wrong?” Di Baijun was extremely serious. She had even placed down all the news and intel in her hands. Her eyes bore into Wang Hu.
Her gaze made Wang Hu rather diffident. Had he really done something wrong?
His gaze drifted about a little before he replied cautiously: “I’ve done too many wrong things. Baijun, I’ve realized the error of my ways.”
“Hah.” Di Baijun suddenly let out a scoff of laughter, and her voice became increasingly icy: “As expected, you don’t think you’ve done anything wrong at all. You’re just patronizing me.”
She turned away, the fury and grievance in her heart intensifying even further. She clenched her fists, instantly sending a chilly wave sweeping through the hall.
In the hall, everyone instantly froze. They didn’t have the leisure of thinking too much about it. All of them lowered their heads and tried their best to diminish their presences.
Wang Hu also stared blankly at her for a moment. He couldn’t be bothered to keep up with pretenses anymore. He put his cell phone down, looked at Silly Girl, and said seriously: “I’m not patronizing you, Baijun. How could I possibly do that?”
“Fine. Tell me, then. Be concrete about it. Don’t patronize me.” Di Baijun closed her eyes and said slowly.
Wang Hu frowned slightly. However, he still didn’t get anywhere. He had been well-behaved recently and hadn’t even gone over to Miao Ming’er’s. He hadn’t done anything wrong at all.
After thinking for a second, he asked carefully: “How about… you give me a small hint?”
The last bit of hope in Di Baijun’s heart was thoroughly extinguished. Indescribably aggrieved and frustrated, she couldn’t even be bothered about the fact that other people were still in the hall anymore. She got up suddenly and glowered frostily at Wang Hu.
Everyone else in the hall froze even further, wishing that they could disappear right away. They kept their heads lowered all the way and refused to look up.
Wang Hu’s heart pounded forebodingly. Silly Girl really was angry!
Amidst his emotions, he couldn’t help but also become a little more serious. He said soberly: “No, Baijun, what exactly has happened? Tell me.”
“Tell you? Hah.” Di Baijun sneered again. She kept all of her aggrieved emotions suppressed in her heart, leaving behind only prideful arrogance on her exterior.
Wang Hu also panicked a little. He frowned and asked: “What exactly do you mean by that, Baijun? Just say it if you have something to say. How would I know what exactly has happened if you don’t tell me about it?”
Di Baijun’s fists balled up even more tightly. A fearsome power seemed to be building up in her, and she felt an even stronger urge to punch him.
Was this something that she even needed to say? He wasn’t like that in the past.
In the past, she hadn’t needed to say anything at all. The jerk had always understood her very well.
However, now…
Well done. So, is this what that Chinese saying ‘men are all scum’ means?
They are indeed right. He’s fickle, doesn’t cherish what he has after he has gotten it, and is a womanizer. He doesn’t even… even love…
“Hmph.”
She let out a loud, icy scoff. As though a clap of thunder, a tremor even went through the entire hall.
The next moment, Di Baijun balled up her fist and turned the chair into dust with a punch. With her teeth gritted, she left in a flash without saying a single word.
The sight rendered Wang Hu utterly speechless.
Has that woman gone mad?
His brows locked together tightly into a huge frown, and he became a little displeased, too. Some fury surged up within him.
She’s being so unreasonable.
His stern and imposing gaze swept across the hall, causing the ostrich-like masses to tremble even further.
Wang Hu’s lips parted, wanting to say a little something to vent his anger. In the end, he ultimately stayed quiet and left the hall instead.
