Rubbing My Head?

"H-husband?"

Liao Ling looked at her husband in confusion, tear starts welling up again. 

"h-hahaha, that was a good joke! A good joke, you almost got me husband!"

"....Lets get a divorce...."

Meng Yu showed no emotion, and plainly stated it this time. 

"....Why?" She held his hands and tears starts rolling down her cheeks.

"Do you think you will be a burden? You won't! I can take care of you!"

"That's not it Ling'er."

"T-then what is it...."

"I....don't love you...."

"T-that's okay, so long as we're still married-"

"WAKE UP, LIAO LING!!" This time he was yelling.

....

Meng Chang turns and look at the bamboo shed while smiling.

"That's my 7th brother, all right. hahaha."

Now all of his worries really disappeared. 

...

"Liao Ling listen to me, it hasn't even been 2 weeks, not to mention a month since we married! I. DON'T. LOVE. YOU!"

"B-but I-I love you-"

"What does your love have to do with me? We were strangers till 2 weeks ago. I heard you didn't want to marry me, that's why you kept running away, right!?"

"That was then! But now I really-"

"How can feelings be changed so easily like that!? You don't love me, you just think you love me!"

"I also don't why I love you! And I don't need a reason!! Huff, huff."

She started talking fast while yelling too, and was breathing heavily now. 

"I don't know why I feel this way to you, maybe it's because you're handsome, maybe it's because you're kind, maybe because when you laugh at my stupid actions and jokes, I feel happy too!! I. DON'T. KNOW!"

She looked at Meng Yu with a soft and shaky voice, "but I just know I do love you....Please, Meng Yu....Don't abandon me....."

Meng Yu turns his head away while shaking. 

"sniff, Too much has happened today, but I hope you consider it Liao Ling. If you stick to me you'll end up like Mei'er. Like Mei'er you'll be laying cold on my bed! Bleed out on the bed sheet from a arrow. Mei'er is dead on my bed!"

He then rubbed her head affectionately. 

"Sniff?"

"Get out, we'll talk more tomorrow." 

....

Meng Chang sees Liao Ling running out from the Bamboo shed with tears rolling down her cheeks. 

He enters the shed. 

"To think you really were able to do it. I underestimated you."

"I have to regardless."

"Your right."

Then he turns to head out, but was stopped. 

"We didn't consummate."

"Hm?" He turned back around. 

"After the marriage ceremony we didn't consummate. You can fact check with the maids at my residence. There was no blood."

With that Meng Yu closed his eyes. 

Meng Chang now understood. 

"Pffft hahahahaha."

He laughed quietly. If it were not that he didn't want Liao Ling to hear, he would be laughing out loud now. 

'She's a virgin!! hahaha! I was a fool to fall for Meng Yus tricks, how could I have been so blind? There was no way he could have done the deed, hahaha. Today is a great day!'

Meng Yu shakes his head. 

'Hopefully this way, Meng Chang values Liao Ling more even if it's a little disgusting to deal with him. It can also distract him.'

Meng Yu closes his eyes.

'I can't let you torture her 2nd brother.'

...

In the carriage.

"sniff, sniff. Stupid Meng Yu." 

Liao Ling wiped her tears, but they kept rolling. 

"Sister-in-law, are you okay? I heard shouting in there."

Meng Chang got in the carriage.

"It's nothing. I'm going to bring my baggage and live here with husband for a while."

"Hahaha, of course. Lets set off then!"

While one was in a good mood, the other was crying. 

...

Riding on the carriage. 

*bump*

The carriage felt many bumps and shaking. 

As she didn't seem like she wanted to speak right now, Meng Chang didn't force it. 

Liao Ling looked out the window and seeing the lakes and sky, it started clearing her head a little. Then she began thinking.

'why was Meng Yu like that?'

'Usually he would never yell, it's like he wanted to make it known.'

'That head rub too, he was yelling at me saying he doesn't love me and then...rubs my head affectionately???'

The thoughts came and came. 

'Then all of a sudden he mentions Mei'er?'

'it seemed like he was...acting?'

'but why and to who?'

She looked over to Meng Chang.

'...what if....'

Noticing her stare Meng Chang smiled back.

She nodded in response and looked out the window again. 

'thinking about it again....the 3rd prince, the emperor, and now Meng Yu. Yet Meng Chang is smiling so happily? Now that he's emperor, he can be happy huh.'

'everything benefitted him. Even him finding Meng Yu? How could there be so many coincidence.'

.....

"Thanks for the ride 2nd prince. Please come pick me up tomorrow."

"No worries. Don't blame 7th brother so much, he doesn't love you, but it's okay." He said happily.

Her eyes twitched. 'Now I have another reason to hate you!'

They said their goodbyes.

"....Husband mentioned Mei'er strangely..."

Liao Ling walked towards her husbands room.
