Perfect Pampered Marriage: Good Morning, Hubby

Someone Has Always Occupied Her Heart

…..

(Flashback)

“Yi, let’s go home. You’ll not last long now that your mother has cut off all sources of your income.”

“I can endure any hardship for you.”

“But I don’t want this. I’ve decided to accept the breakup fee from your mother.”

“Shengxia, you must have lost your mind. Do you hear yourself?”

“What I’m saying is I chose money over you…”

That period of time was like a waking nightmare for Li Shengxia. The financial situation of her father’s company was deteriorating sharply. Yin Tangyi would never know that it was actually his mother’s doing.

This was part of Qiu Haitang’s scheme.

However, she gave in eventually because she could not bear seeing the employees being forced into a dead end.

Besides, the man who was born with a silver spoon had never suffered any hardship in life before. How could she sacrifice his future for her own sake?

“Miss Li, take a good look at yourself. You don’t deserve my darling son Tangyi!

“Take this money, or your life will be completely destroyed!

“How dare you persuade my son to elope with you? I’ll cut off his source of money so you don’t get anything!

“What’s wrong? Can’t take it anymore?

“I told you that you would return! Nothing would go right for a poor couple. The two of you are nothing without money! This is your breakup fee. Take it and don’t ever appear in his life again. You don’t have the right to mess up his life!”

These were his mother’s words!

What other choice did she have?

“You unfilial son! Break off all ties with the family if you insist on leaving this place with her! You’ll lose your right to inherit the family business!” Qiu Haitang threatened when her son announced his desire to elope with Li Shengxia.

With unwavering determination, he clasped her fingers around the latter. “I only want her!”

However…

She returned!

Only to declare she preferred money!

The man was shocked into silence as if the woman standing in front of him was a total stranger…

His mother laughed sarcastically. “Tangyi, do you see it now? This is the woman of your choice!”

He stared at his woman in disbelief and sorrow. “Tell me this is not true!”

“Young Master Yin, stop rebelling. Why give up being a young master just to be with me? Anyway, how will it benefit me to be with you if you’re no longer a rich young master?”

He felt as if been struck by lightning. “What are you saying?”

“I’m saying I’ll choose money over you…”

Slap.

He slapped her across the face.

Her hand did not fly over to cover her burning cheek. Instead, she said coldly as she stared right into his eyes. “Young Master Yin, we’ve had a good time together after all. I hope you’re not going to beat the check.”

Exasperated, he threw a signed check at her!

“Here’s five million!” How badly he hoped she would refuse and tell him she chose him instead!

However, she lowered her head and replied calmly. “Thanks a lot.” Then, she bent over to pick up the check.

Five million was worth more than their relationship!

He found it hard to believe that was all he was worth to her!

This was the woman that he tried so hard to please! This gold digger!

He chose her without any doubt…

Whereas she could not endure the hardship and left him to run off with the money!

Out of rage, he threw the stack of cash in her face as he shouted, “Here are some extra tips for the satisfying service! Go ahead and pick it up!”

She clenched the check in her hand. “I’m satisfied with your service too. Consider that favor returned.”

He pushed her over to the ground. “Really? That means I gave you too much,” he said and leaned closer. They had been together for quite some time but their intimacy never went beyond holding hands.

Terrified, she shied away when he came closer, all while maintaining an indifferent expression on her face. “Young Master Yin, I’ve taken the breakup fee. Our relationship is over.”

“You would really discard me like a piece of trash after you’re done using me huh? Thanks for teaching me this lesson!”

“Young Master Yin, you’re welcome.”

“Get out of my sight. I feel disgusted just by looking at you.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll never appear in front of you after today.”

“Take the tips too. Don’t pretend to be all virtuous!”

She did not argue. Instead, she bent over to gather the money one note after another.

Infuriated by the woman’s reaction, he pushed the vase on the coffee table, sending scattered pieces all across the floor. One of them cut her leg but she was too numb to feel the pain.

“Seriously? How cheap could you be!” Right that instant, it was as if all the love he had for her transformed into hatred. “Are you really that hungry for money? Don’t you have some dignity??”

“Dignity? How much is that worth? Young Master Yin, stop messing with me. I’ve taken your breakup fee so I guess this is goodbye then…”

She turned around to leave gracefully, although she could feel her entire body shivering.

… (End of flashback.)

…

Li Shengxia finally recollected herself. She could almost feel the chill in the air.

All he witnessed was her receding background, little did he know that she had been pretending to be tough. Tears rolled off her eyes like a heavy downpour the second she turned her back against him…

‘Sorry, Yi, I’m really sorry… Goodbye… Just pretend this horrible woman never appeared in your life.’

Her wrist was still burning from his touch. However, he could not catch her regardless of how long he held on.

There was an ocean between them.

She was suddenly reminded of the way her body instinctively shied away when he was trying to hold her hand. That was enough to make her uncomfortable!

However, she had never felt like that before with Mo Nianchen…

It was as if she finally came to a realization…

She discovered she had actually never forgotten about Mo Nianchen!

Saying that she disliked being touched by men was only an excuse!

What she felt for Yin Tangyi was just a sense of dependency. She needed warmth at that time and he was right there to give her some.

She thought she had feelings for him, but only until this moment that she learned…

That she had never opened her heart to him before!

Someone else had always occupied her heart.

Someone that she despised to no end, but could not bring herself to part with…

That person ruined her childhood, all kinds of opportunities in her life, even robbing her of the innocence of a pure, first love.

In spite of that…

She never forgot about him, not even for a second!
