After Forced Marriage [Female A Male O] (ChatGPT translation)

Chapter 43 Drowned 06 6.2

Fu Dongni walked out of the private room and reached out to unbutton a button on her regular clothes, revealing a section of neck and collarbone with a tooth mark that had not yet faded.

She lit a cigarette and held it in her mouth.

She began to carefully recall the word she had just heard.

She remembered that Pei Hengzhi had told her that he had never been in love before.

He had never been in love, but in college there was someone he liked. This situation was probably just a case of unrequited love. She thought that maybe his sudden rebellion was because of that person, and he loved that person but couldn't be with them. In the end, he ended up marrying her by accident.

Just thinking about this made Fu Dongni feel like there was a lump of cotton in her chest, which was very uncomfortable.

Does it mean that if you want to get to know someone well, you have to first understand their romantic history?

She had no interest in Pei Hengzhi's romantic history.

She smoked half a cigarette, the smoke lingering around her, but the restlessness in her eyes was clear.

She tried to suppress it, but it was fruitless."What do you mean? Are only officials allowed to start fires, while the common people cannot even light a lamp?"

Fu Dongni asked herself this question in her heart.

She rubbed her sore teeth and felt that her dissatisfaction seemed unreasonable.

Pei Hengzhi had never blamed her for what had happened in the past, so what right did she have to be dissatisfied with his past?

Besides, Pei Hengzhi only had a secret crush on her.

It was already heartbreaking enough to love someone but not be able to have them. If she couldn't control her temper because of this, wouldn't it be like rubbing salt in his wounds?

Fu Dongni kept telling herself not to care, but even after smoking all her cigarettes, the frustration didn't dissipate. Instead, it became more suffocating.

She had a gloomy face and turned the lighter in her hand before lighting another cigarette.

"Fu Yi?"

Yan Chu came from the direction of the restroom and saw Fu Dongni leaning against the wall, smoking silently. She was slightly surprised, "Why are you out here too?"Fu Dongni restrained her expression and raised the cigarette between her fingertips towards her, saying, "Same as you."

"Then I'll wait for you to finish smoking before we go in together." Yan Chu put her hands in her pockets, a faint haze between her eyebrows.

Fu Dongni glanced at her and then withdrew her gaze, saying, "Have you encountered any recent troubles? Is it about the palace or Ji Wang?"

Hearing the last few words, Yan Chu's eyelids twitched, but her emotions on her face remained calm. "What about Ji Wang?"

Fu Dongni casually said, "He's already grown up, it's normal for him to have thoughts of love, but as a friend, you don't seem to be happy about it?"

Fu Dongni's insight has always been accurate.

If she didn't know that Yan Chu didn't think in that direction, Yan Chu would have almost thought that she had noticed some emotions that she was trying to hide.

"Speaking of which, Yan San, I've never seen you like anyone from childhood to adulthood," Fu Dongni thought of something, but couldn't quite put her finger on it, "What, still haven't met someone you like?"
