Chapter 285: Jiayi Gave It Up

Translator: LiamHW

Song Qinghan thought about it carefully referring to the taken actions Jiayi had done previously, and then he asked in shock, “What did your Lord Lu say to you? Did he reconcile with you already?”

It seemed that the sudden question provoked the deepest sorrow in Jiayi’s heart, and he started to sob again with his eyes reddened all of a sudden.

Yet instead of bursting out bawling, he just reached out to wipe the tears off softly without mourning, and then he answered peacefully, “We’re done already, well, no one would be stupider than me.”

Noticing that Jiayi blamed himself for being stupid, Song Qinghan finally came to figure everything out in his mind. And now Jiayi should be the poorest guy who suffered from loneliness without friends and spouse.

And most heartbreaking fact was that the reconciliation failed at the end and the Lord Lu was already determined to give up the relationship.

However, he still found that it was quite strange amid this event. If the man was that weak-minded to give a relationship up, what was his intention then to wait and see in a hidden place in silence? Was it just a show to get himself moved?

Upon noticing that Song Qinghan was silent, Jiayi raised his head suddenly and glanced at Song Qinghan, and then said slowly, “Are you satisfied now? You must be so happy to know that I am going to be homeless after going back to hometown.”

A wave of guilt surged deep inside Song Qinghan as Jiayi said so. But then he reacted quickly, well, why should he be that guilty since it was all Jiayi’s own fault and misbehaviors to bring himself such a dire result?

But on the other hand, Jiayi’s sudden relinquishment, more or less, made Song Qinghan confused.

He just had a disharmony with Wu Dahu because of Jiayi, and now the problem just vanished in an instant.

After making his bed, Jiayi slowly took a glance at Song Qinghan, and when he saw him acting like a wooden man, he snorted, “What a good match between you and Lord Wu, both wooden brained. Well, it should be your luck that at least your son isn’t dumb at all.”

Song Qinghan pursed his lips and turned to leave in a daze. Just as he was still in a trance on the way wandering around, he felt his wrist was suddenly gripped by someone while Shuluo’s voice was heard.

“What are you doing here? Didn’t you say that you’ve figured it out already?”

If he hadn’t grabbed Song Qinghan with his sharp eyes and quick hands just now, probably Song Qinghan would have mistakenly entered the captive camp, and no one would be able to predict what was going to happen if he really entered that place.

Song Qinghan slowly came back to his senses and grasped Shu Luo’s hand tightly like a drowning person grabbing the last straw. He whispered, “Why? Why did Jiayi just give it up bothering me and Dahu? And now I have nowhere to vent my outflowing anguish inside, it is so unbearable…”

Shuluo paused with his eyes rolled as if he had come to figure out something in his mind, after all, Jiayi’s affair was louder than the thunder within the army camp currently, and he didn’t even have to go out of the injured soldier camp to get bunch of news about that. Yet he was not a gossipy guy who loved to talk about one’s secret love affair and he would never believe that Wu Dahu would accept such a virtueless guy back in his family.

But! He was still dubious about one thing: Was it really Wu Dahu who got drunk that night?

He sighed slightly, patted Song Qinghan on the shoulder, and comforted him softly, “It would have been with a better result if you went to attend that banquet back then, probably you would be able to dissuade Wu Dahu to drink less, it was a pity…”

Hearing that, Song Qinghan was even confused as his eyes were full of doubt, a string of memories in a row popped up in his mind, flashing like images of movie.

The banquet… It would have been better… Drank and Got drunk…

A moment later, nothing but astonishment overwhelmed Song Qinghan. And he almost collapsed forward if Shuluo was not pulling him behind.

“How did you know that he only got drunk once? Maybe…”

Before he could finish his statement, Shuluo interrupted him, “How did I? The wine in the army camp is less than you are able to imagine, so how is it possible for Lord Wu to binge drinking any time he wants? Well, the only chance to make that real was only that time when we welcomed the biggest victory.”

Getting to know the fact of that, Song Qinghan was quite surprised.

It turned out that Wu Dahu still believed that the one who slept with him that night was Jiayi, but the fact was that he was not an illusion but the real?

After making everything crystal clear in his mind, he loosened his shoulders, feeling quite relieved.

Turning to Shuluo he found that Shuluo was glancing at him suspiciously, he held the man’s hands tighter, while uttering in a deep voice, “Thank you for your information! I owe you one, come and find me if you need my help anytime.”

After that, he turned and left Shuluo alone at the spot and then rushed back to Wu Dahu’s tent quickly.

Shuluo scratched himself on the head, not knowing what he had just done to make Song Qinghan that enlightened, and he did not even believe his ears that he could get such a promise. However, it was still a good thing for him to win that bless and he couldn’t help but feel rather happy about it. At the end he raised his head proudly while folding his hands on his back and walking toward the injured soldier camp.

Song Qinghan, however, took a sudden pause in front of Wu Dahu’s tent, while his eyes were full of complexity.

Even though the issue could be easily addressed as soon as he told Wu Dahu everything about the fact, he still got a gush of anger inside him.

With that complexed emotion, he unveiled the curtain of the tent. Noticing that Wu Dahu was fixing his eyes tight on him, Song Qinghan acted like he had seen nothing and walked directly toward the bed, took off his cloth and shoes and lay down to have rest.

Although Song Qinghan was still unwilling to speak to Wu Dahu, Wu Dahu knew that it was better than staying outside. His eyes lit with hope and suddenly he rose from the seat with Little Shitou who was already asleep in arms and walked to the bed as well tentatively.

When he lay down on it, he heard Song Qinghan’s breathing that was so slight as to be negligible, and knowing that he had not yet fallen asleep, he could not help but say softly, “Relax, Han, I will be so worried if you got ill because of the bad emotion…”

At the moment Wu Dahu finished his words, Song Qinghan opened his eyes abruptly and answered in anger as if he had just found an exist to vent the flame inside him, “You will be worried about your unborn son, right? Well, you shouldn’t and I will take good care of him.”

Wu Dahu sighed in resignation, he withdrew his hand he was about to caress Song Qinghan on the face, and then continued to say, “I can have sons in the future, but you are the unique one in the world that I can not lose.”

This made Song Qinghan feel a little more comfortable, but he still didn’t turn around refusing to meet Wu Dahu face-to-face. He snorted coldly and complained, “Yeah, you will have bunch of sons, of course, and I will be giving birth to one today and another tomorrow…”

In fact it was just a joke Song Qinghan made, but by thinking of that scenario, he couldn’t help but start sobbing.

Wu Dahu felt sore on his heart tip as he noticed the slight trembling of Song Qinghan, he knew that Song Qinghan was crying even though he couldn’t see his face at all. He then answered in a deep voice, “It will never happen, and I will never be that stupid just like that night ever. And I am considering resigning after we go back to the country, and we will find a isolated place to nestle living by our own in peace.”

Song Qinghan’s sobs stopped and he subconsciously wiped away his tears with the back of his hand and said with a frown, “Why do you want to resign? Don’t you want to be an official?”

Wu Dahu’s eyes were fixed on the ceiling, so he didn’t notice the change in Song Qinghan’s expression, and answered softly, “I am quite satisfied enough to get a position like this, and I have already realized every piece of my dream. I just want to spend the rest of my life with you in the following years.”

Although these words were sweet, Song Qinghan’s heart was beating fast, and a gush of worry flashed in his eyes as he whispered, “Tell me honestly, are you worried about another drunken situation, and that’s why you’re saying you’re going to resign?”

However, to his surprise, Wu Dahu denied it.

“No, I had planned to do so long ago, this incident has merely strengthened my resolve.”
