Chapter 440 Being Deceived Because of Love
Wang Wenzhou wiped away his tears and continued reading Gao Guilan's baby's diary.
"I never expected to see Young Master Lei like this again. 'I grow thinner and thinner, yet I have no regrets, for I am wasting away for her.' Young Master Lei has lost weight and become even more handsome."
But Young Master Lei made a suggestive move on me right away. I covered my face, stomped my feet, and chuckled to myself. Even now, thinking about it makes me blush. It turns out Young Master Lei's surname isn't Lei at all; he's Wang Wenzhou, the prefect of Hanshan. Upon hearing this news, my heart shattered. My father is a rebel leader; there's absolutely no possibility between us.
He didn't care about her background and wanted to marry her. She covered her face and chuckled again; how could she refuse? That rascal, he insisted she call him "Uncle," and even made her…
"Oh dear, Uncle is so mean! The first time, I felt like throwing up. But after a while, I wasn't nauseous anymore. Uncle's special Mengniu milk tastes pretty good!"
"My little Lanlan!" Wang Wenzhou burst into tears again.
Liu Rushi quickly stepped forward, gently patted Wang Wenzhou's back, and comforted him, "It's alright, don't be sad."
"You rascal! What are you up to now?" Liu Rushi frowned and looked at Wang Wenzhou with a mournful expression.
"Ruru, Ruru, I'm so heartbroken!" Wang Wenzhou said, feeling wronged.
"Alright!" Liu Rushi had no choice but to kneel down beside Wang Wenzhou and suck on his mouth.
Wang Wenzhou wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and continued reading Gao Guilan's diary. Gao Guilan's diary contained many entries, and Wang Wenzhou read them with tears streaming down his face.
"If life were only as beautiful as our first meeting, why would the autumn wind bring sorrow to the painted fan?" Such a beautiful poem, and it turns out that Uncle wrote it for that little bitch Liu Rushi! She must be really heartbroken, why doesn't Uncle write a poem for her?
Uncle is just too outstanding; he's surrounded by so many pretty girls. Although I'm furious, I remember my grandfather's words. He said, "A woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent; a girl who is too intelligent will not be happy." To keep a man's heart, you must treat him like a god. Always look at him with shining eyes and adoration.
She remembered her grandfather's teachings. Even though she knew that the uncle was lying to her, she still pretended to be naive and ignorant, smiled slightly, and looked at the uncle with admiration.
Grandpa was right, that's why Uncle loves me so much. But Uncle doesn't know, and Grandpa will never know, so pretending to be clueless is really, really hard.
Seeing the man I love sleep with another woman, especially while he's right next to me, is like a knife twisting in my heart. But even so, I have to play dumb, because I can't live without Uncle, I must keep his heart.
"Sigh..." Wang Wenzhou sighed and asked softly, "Ruru, am I a liar? Do I lie often?"
Liu Rushi looked up and rolled her eyes at Wang Wenzhou. "My nemesis, is there even a question?"
Wang Wenzhou pursed his lips. He felt that although he was a professional liar, he didn't lie often. Why was Gao Guilan so resentful?
"Since seeing Uncle again, I've lost count of how many times I've secretly cried. I like Uncle, and Uncle likes me too. This should be a happy thing, but Uncle is just too much of a womanizer."
Just like that little bitch Liu Rushi said, Uncle wants to sleep with any pretty girl he sees. Since they are all pregnant and cannot accompany Uncle to the capital to meet the Emperor, the task of monitoring Uncle and preventing him from sleeping with girls indiscriminately is left to me.
But I didn't even dare to raise my voice at the uncle. Actually, it wasn't that I didn't dare, but that I couldn't bear to. I can scold others because they are just strangers, but I can't bring myself to speak coldly to the uncle because he is the one I love.
Along the way, the officer would occasionally sneak off to sleep with one of the female police officers. Each time, I'd be so angry I'd cry, but when I saw him, I'd put on a smile. I didn't want him to know I was a jealous woman, but I really didn't want him sleeping with other girls. I was so conflicted.
Upon arriving in the capital, I could only feign illness. I knew that Uncle would surely sleep with other girls again. Sure enough, just as I predicted, this time Uncle slept with Consort Tian. Fortunately, the Emperor was magnanimous and didn't punish Uncle. But I wasn't happy. What woman would want her beloved to sleep with other girls so easily?
"Sigh..." Wang Wenzhou sighed and asked softly, "Ruru, Ruru, am I a womanizer?"
"Oh my god!" Wang Wenzhou said with a wry smile, "Ruru, do you want me to have no descendants?"
"Hmph!" Liu Rushi snorted coldly, and said irritably, "You already have three sons, how can you not have an heir!"
"Ruru, Ruru, my heart is breaking!" Wang Wenzhou looked heartbroken.
Liu Rushi shook her head with a wry smile. "You rascal, just keep pretending."
"Uncle thinks I'm stupid and don't know anything, so he lies to me all the time. The most painful thing in life is not that your loved one lies to you and you don't know it. It's that he lies to you, you know it, but you have to pretend you don't know."
I've lost count of how many tears I've shed because Uncle lied to me. Sometimes, I really want to tell Uncle that his little Lanlan isn't stupid, that she's just like that little bitch Liu Rushi—you can't fool her. But I don't dare.
I'm not as pretty as that little bitch Liu Rushi, nor do I have as big breasts, and I certainly haven't given Uncle a baby! I'm afraid that if I expose her, Uncle will hate me.
"My little Lanlan, you're so silly!" Wang Wenzhou felt a pang of heartache. His daughter, Gao Guilan, wasn't wise in her apparent foolishness, but rather foolish in her apparent wisdom. While a naive and innocent girl might be cute, men generally prefer intelligent girls to clever girls who can read their minds.
"Hmph!" Liu Rushi sneered, "You just like her because she's silly, don't you? Because she's silly, you bully her and take her to sleep with other girls. Don't think I don't know!"
"Good girl! Ru Ru, stop making a fuss!" Wang Wenzhou pressed down on Liu Ru Shi's head.
Gao Guilan was constantly troubled by why Wang Wenzhou always lied to her. Wang Wenzhou was now filled with regret. How could he not have realized that Gao Guilan was as clever as Liu Rushi? If that were true, even if he were foolish, he wouldn't have lied to Gao Guilan like he was fooling a fool. As a result, every time he tricked Gao Guilan, she would secretly cry with heartache.
"A father and a husband are the two men every woman loves most, and also the two men who love her most. If one of these two men must die, every woman will be at a loss, and so was I."
You can never truly understand how you felt until it happened to you.
In the end, I chose the uncle and abandoned my father. I know I might regret it for the rest of my life. But if I had chosen my father, I would have regretted it immediately. What a tragedy!
Wang Wenzhou put down Gao Guilan's diary and, after reading it, finally understood why Gao Guilan had committed suicide. He realized it was all his fault. He had always thought Gao Guilan was foolish and lied to her because she was "foolish." Even if he did something outrageous, a few lies were enough to appease her.
The truth is, Gao Guilan's baby understands everything and is heartbroken about it.
"The reason I was deceived was not because I was stupid, but because of love!" Wang Wenzhou murmured to himself.
"I want revenge! I want to tear those bastards who killed Xiao Lanlan to pieces!" Wang Wenzhou was filled with remorse because, in truth, he was the one who killed Gao Guilan. But he was unwilling to admit it, fearing that if he did, he would live in regret for the rest of his life.
Therefore, Wang Wenzhou planned to shift the blame and make those who indirectly caused Gao Guilan's death take the blame, so that he could feel at ease after avenging Gao Guilan's baby.
