Captured Hearts: The Substitute Bride’s Gambit

Chapter 391: Chapter 391: My Husband Is Really Awesome

No wonder Sheng Tingyuan was so filial to his mother, Tang Jin told him whom to marry, and he’d marry without a hint of resistance, not even caring when he thought she had fled the wedding—it was all to honor his mother’s wishes and take her as his bride.

Ye Chuyi couldn’t help but reach out and touch his lower abdomen, an area she had never really noticed before. She had only seen his solid abs, but his lower belly was always securely covered.

Although they had made love as true husband and wife the night before, she hadn’t looked at that area, especially since he had turned off the lights.

Thinking about it now, he must have not only been afraid she’d be shy but also reluctant to let her see his scars.

"Later on, did you get your revenge?"

His abdomen, warmed by her touch, made him worry that if she continued, he might lose control, so he quickly grasped her hand.

With a tone that was slightly more relaxed, he said, "I did get my revenge. I stabbed Sheng Tianxing too. Now he’s impotent, no different from a eunuch. Sheng Huai’an used to search everywhere for doctors to treat him, but alas, no one could cure him."

A sense of satisfaction welled up inside Ye Chuyi, and wrapping her arms around Sheng Tingyuan’s waist, she said, "You’re incredible, my husband really does pay back every grievance, ruthless and decisive."

Sheng Tingyuan laughed, she was finally willing to call him her husband, it seemed that the hit he had taken was not in vain.

"It was also then that I began to understand, patience and concession are useless. Others will just think you’re weak and easy to bully, hurting you even more without any hesitation. After I was able to walk again, the first thing I did was go and stab Sheng Tianxing."

"Though Sheng Huai’an was nearly driven mad with anger, my mother protected me, and since it was Sheng Tianxing who stabbed me first, he couldn’t do much to me."

"My mom was a very easy-going person, even when Sheng Huai’an had an affair and fathered an illegitimate child, she endured it without making things difficult for the mother and son. But after I got hurt, my mom wouldn’t stand for it any longer, she demanded a divorce, and the kind where Sheng Huai’an would leave without a single possession." noveldrama

"Of course, Sheng Huai’an would never agree; he still wanted to give the corporation and all the assets to Sheng Tianxing!"

"He wouldn’t agree to divorce, so my mom didn’t leave him because as long as they were married, that woman and her son would be disgraced, with Sheng Tianxing having no legitimate status and no authority to speak before the company’s shareholders."

"And indeed, as my mother predicted, to this day, Sheng Tianxing is not recognized by shareholders or directors, no matter how much Sheng Huai’an props him up. Of course, that’s related to him being a good-for-nothing to begin with. If he had a little real talent, I wouldn’t have taken over the entire corporation so smoothly."

Ye Chuyi listened intently, and after he finished, she looked up and said, "My mother-in-law is truly formidable, no wonder she raised you so well."

Sheng Tingyuan chuckled, "Have you become the leader of my praise team? Aren’t you upset with me for breaking our agreement and making you wait in vain for a year?"

"I wasn’t really mad at you."

Ye Chuyi spoke in a very soft voice, her eyes glistening as she looked at Sheng Tingyuan, "I’m grateful that you once came into my life, you brought me warmth and good luck. You know, ever since I met you, whenever it’s a rainy day, I always have good fortune. Even meeting my teacher happened on a rainy day! I’ve always felt that you changed my destiny!"

Seeing the stars in her eyes and listening to her slightly coquettish tone, Sheng Tingyuan was reminded of her as a child.

Back then, she looked at him in the same way, as if he were some god descended from heaven, invincible and omnipotent.

A softness melted in his heart, and he held her, saying, "It wasn’t me who changed your destiny, it was your own effort. Even if you hadn’t met me, you would have met your teacher, and even without your teacher, you would have been successful. You’re so intelligent, so hardworking. Even in adversity, you’ve never felt sorry for yourself. You’re gold, and you were bound to shine someday."

Ye Chuyi laughed and buried her face in his chest.

She had indeed worked very hard, but sometimes people really do need a bit of luck, and he was the starting point of hers.
