Afraid of not being able to show her face after being beaten, Jiang Tingxia took emergency measures. She applied a cold towel to her face and changed the water several times until she felt her face was not so hot anymore, then she went back to her room.

It was late at night and pitch dark. Jiang Tingxia opened the door and walked in carefully.

Li Changpu finally waited for her to come back and stood up to turn on the light.

Jiang Tingxia noticed some rustling noises and saw a dark shadow searching for the light switch on the wall. She immediately said in a cold voice, "Don't turn on the light."

Li Changpu stretched out his arm again.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

Jiang Tingxia stopped talking again.

Even though she knew it was pitch black and Li Changpu couldn't see the injuries on her face, Jiang Tingxia still subconsciously turned her face away from Li Changpu and walked quickly towards her bed.

But she couldn't see and was walking fast, and suddenly there was a very loud bang in the darkness.

Jiang Tingxia's calf hit the edge of the bed hard.

"Where did you hit?"

Li Changpu hurriedly walked towards the direction where the sound came from.

But Jiang Tingxia had already quickly gotten into bed without saying a word.

When Li Changpu heard the blow just now, he knew it was a serious blow.

Not to mention that Jiang Tingxia is such a delicate person. When a shoe scratched her foot, the wound was not as severe as a mosquito bite, but she would cry out in pain for a long time.

But now he wrapped himself tightly in the quilt and didn't say a word.

Li Changpu looked at the angry person on the bed, with her back facing him, her whole body emitting a depressing low pressure. She was like this when she was unhappy, ignoring people and treating him as air.

He finally said, "What do you want me to do?"

Jiang Tingxia covered herself with the quilt, listening to him speak in a bad and annoyed tone, she lay on the bed, motionless.

Li Changpu waited for a long time without getting an answer. He resisted the urge to lift the quilt from the bed and said, "You want me to eat elegantly? You also want me not to talk nonsense or do things that will embarrass you? What else? Tell me."

Jiang Tingxia pretended not to hear his temper and covered her ears with the quilt.

Li Changpu said to the unresponsive figure on the bed, "I promise you, I promise you everything."

He said helplessly, "Okay."

As long as she doesn't say anything and doesn't know where to run off to.

Jiang Tingxia frowned. Li Changpu, did he agree?

He is a very stubborn and obstinate person. How can you say he agrees?

Jiang Tingxia moved, and a muffled voice came from under the quilt, "Really?"

Li Changpu: “Really.”

Jiang Tingxia let go of the quilt that he was holding tightly in his hands, "Are you not saying this in a sarcastic way?"

Li Changpu let out a breath, "No."

She asked again, "Do you listen to me?"

Without hearing Li Changpu's objection, Jiang Tingxia said, "Then throw away the clothes you are wearing now, take a shower, and put on new clothes."

Before going to bed, the two of them couldn't reach an agreement. She was very angry with Li Changpu and didn't bother to care about his sweaty body. She took a shower and went to bed.

When Li Changpu heard her say this, it was like a huge stone that was weighing on his heart had been removed. Jiang felt more at ease when Xia Ken made a request to him.

Jiang Tingxia added, "You can't take a shower in this room. There's a bathroom on the left when you go out the door."

"Go."

Jiang Tingxia was lying on the bed. Before she heard footsteps, she could still feel Li Changpu still standing beside her bed.

Just when she wanted to turn over to see what was going on, she heard Li Changpu say, "Why did you promise not to divorce?"

He said, "At first, I thought you didn't want your family to worry, but now it seems that your family relationship is not what I thought."

"Then why did you promise me?"

Jiang Tingxia thought for a moment and said, "It's very simple. I just don't want to be laughed at. Especially when others want to step on me, I want to let them know that I can live a good life."

Li Changpu clenched his fists. There were some things he had to clarify.

He hesitated to speak, fearing that once the thin window paper was broken, there would be no room for maneuver. His throat was dry and it hurt when he spoke. "Your sister always laughs at the country people. What about you? Do you also think this is shameful?"

"Including me, I'll embarrass you too."

Li Changpu's tone was light, but Jiang Tingxia suddenly felt her heart aching like a sponge being squeezed dry. She shook her head, "No, I... am not."

She sat up and looked at the figure standing beside her bed, but she couldn't see his expression in the darkness. Jiang Tingxia felt a little flustered.

She was somewhat rude to him today. Did those words hurt him?

Is she only thinking about herself and forgetting to consider his feelings?

Li Changpu clenched his fists and asked again, "Do you think the same as your family?"

Jiang Tingxia was a little anxious and explained, "That's not what I think."

"I said those words because I was too anxious, so I spoke without thinking."

Li Changpu pressed on, "I'm just asking you, do you hate me?"

Hate it? Jiang Tingxia thought that Li Changpu was a very annoying person, but he asked her so seriously that she couldn't say the word "hate" out loud.

Isn't it annoying? In that case, how many steps will she take for him?

Jiang Tingxia was caught in a dilemma and couldn't say a word. She collapsed in an instant. "You promised me to play a play with me in the Jiang family. Everything here is fake. You just want to be so serious. Obviously, when it's just the two of us, I let you be at ease. But in the Jiang family, I don't want to be an outlier. I don't want to be pointed at, and I don't want you to be regarded as a topic of dispute. Is this too much?"

Hearing her say this, Li Changpu loosened his fist, and his originally gray eyes returned to normal, "I know what you said."

Jiang Tingxia looked at him, frowning, tears in the corners of her eyes. Fortunately, no one could see her like this. She maintained a steady voice, "Are you angry with me?"

Without waiting for an answer, Jiang Tingxia quickly wiped his eyes and said, "It's up to you. If you want to be angry, you can be angry. I'm still angry with you. I'm even angrier. Li Changpu, I don't want to care about you anymore in my life."

Li Changpu learned of her attitude, and finally felt relieved. Seeing her long-lost childish look, he wanted to laugh and said, "Ting Xia, I have never been angry with you."

"I said this just to talk to you again."

Jiang Tingxia asked him impatiently, "What are you talking about?"

Li Changpu said what he had thought about in his mind thousands of times in the past few days, "We both used to think that divorce was a simple matter, but since we got married, this relationship has not been easy to end in any way."

"No matter what we do in private, in everyone's eyes, I am your man and you are my woman."

Jiang Tingxia almost jumped up, like a cat whose tail was stepped on, "Do you think I can't leave you?"

"No"

Li Changpu explained, "You want to escape the influence of this relationship, but you have to hide away to the horizon. Why bother?"

Li Changpu paused, and then said, "I asked you these questions today to confirm your attitude. If you think I am not that difficult to accept, then..."

He was so nervous that his throat rolled, and he finally said, "Can you come back to Chazipo with me?"

In fact, ever since he learned about her unfortunate experiences, he had made the decision to take responsibility for her life. It would not be easy for a girl who had lost her virginity to live a good life in the future, but he didn't care.

Li Changpu said, "I promised your grandfather that I would take good care of you. I am not a person who goes back on my word."

But the person he promised his grandfather to take care of was Jiang Tinghe, not her.

Jiang Tingxia was about to say something when Li Changpu interrupted her, "You don't have to rush to answer me. I'll give you some time to think about it. Think about it carefully and then give me an answer."
