Chapter 4 - 2: Confession in the Bridal Chamber_2
Sang Wan slightly lowered her head, revealing a slender, snow-white neck. Her eyelashes trembled lightly as she looked up and said, "Young Master honored the marital agreement, preserving the dignity of both the Sang family and Sang Wan. I am very grateful for that, but since you already have someone else in your heart, Sang Wan does not wish to take away the one you love. How about we act as a fake couple, what do you say?"
Shi Fengju couldn't help but be moved and involuntarily took a deep breath. His gaze flickered, no longer as composed as before. A fake couple? He was surprised that she could come up with, and even suggest, such a thing!
Seeing that he did not respond, Sang Wan continued: "After a year or so, we can get a divorce. By that time, we can both marry others as appropriate, none the worse for wear. How about that?"
Shi Fengju still did not speak, feeling somewhat uncomfortable instinctively. It was one thing for him not to like her, but another for her to actively request to leave him. After all, he was a man, and not just any man—he was young, talented, handsome, and full of promise. Countless maidens dreaming of marriage desired him, yet here she was, treating him as unwanted the moment she spoke. He had brought her into the Shi family's home in a grand bridal sedan. No wonder he felt discontent!
He examined the woman before him closely, her eyebrows were gentle, her features soft, her skin fair, and her large, bright eyes particularly captivating. At this moment, her demeanor was serene and composed, neither servile nor overbearing, forcing him to admire her even more.
As a result, his discomfort only grew.
"What, are you in a hurry to leave the Shi family? Do you have someone waiting for you outside?" Shi Fengju spoke out of irritation without thinking.
Sang Wan was furious! If his words spread outside, what would become of her reputation? How would she face anyone in the future!
"If that were true, would I ever have been able to enter the doors of the Shi family?" Sang Wan suppressed the anger in her heart, her lips curving into a mocking smile. If the Shi family still accepted her under such circumstances, then that did not speak well of them!
