Chapter 81.2 – Extra: Wife-Chasing Crematorium (Part 6) 

— STATUS: Unedited —

　　It was not that she was feeling sentimental, but rather, she had yet to clarify countless matters. That was why she preferred not to make any hasty decisions until she could find the answers she sought.

　　Of course, she could also sleep with Huo Ronshen and pretend nothing had occurred the next day. If it were solely for her personal gratification, there was no reason for her not to do so.

　　However, the separation and estrangement over the past two years had already dealt him a grievous blow. That was why Jiang Dai could not bring herself to resort to actions befitting a malicious woman, and the mere thought of causing him pain again was something she could not bear.

　　Despite her flushed face, Jiang Dai whispered, “No, you’re wounded right now. So it’s best that you refrain from any strenuous physical exertion.”

　　The large dog draped across her form nuzzled her collarbone and exhaled softly. “That means it’s alright if it’s not strenuous?”

　　“…… No, of course not! Absolutely out of the question!” Jiang Dai gritted her teeth. “Don’t you even dare entertain that thought since I’ve no intention of messing around with you!”

　　Huo Rongshen’s demeanor bore a humility that was previously unfamiliar to Jiang Dai, a facet of him unexplored until now.

　　She simply could not believe how he was able to hold onto all that was left of his bottom line.

　　However, it was utter nonsense that he insisted nothing could be done without a condom!

　　Even though it had been two years since their divorce, the memories of their shared moments on the marriage bed remained remarkably vivid for her. While both she and Huo Rongshen projected an air of seriousness, the facade gave way to a realm of unrestrained passion behind those concealed doors — a fervor akin to untamed beasts.

　　After all, they had engaged in numerous preposterous actions. 

　　Eventually, Jiang Dai firmly pushed him away and swiftly readjusted her attire and hair before bolting away with unwavering determination.

　　Her pace was nothing short of remarkable as she made a beeline for her high-performance supercar. With a decisive turn of the key, the engine roared to life and propelled her away from the scene without a single backward glance. The genuine fear of Huo Rongshen pursuing her once more fueled her determination to depart hastily, lest her resolve waver and she reconsider staying.

……

　　Throughout the journey, Huo Rongshen sent her loads of voice messages on WeChat. 

　　Without a second thought, Jiang Dai tapped to listen to all of them.

　　“Heartless.”

　　“Ruthless.”

　　“My Darling, why must you treat me with such harshness? These wounds of mine are still healing.”

　　“When will you be visiting me tomorrow night?”

　　“Can I trust your words? You won’t disappear from my life once more, will you?”

　　“It’s starting to hurt again, Jiang Dai.”

　　“The pain of my wounds is rivaled only by the ache in my heart.”

　　At this moment, Jiang Dai’s emotions fluctuated between the urge to burst into laughter, the desire to scold, and moments of helplessness.

　　Had she not personally witnessed it, she would never have believed that Huo Rongshen — someone who was unwilling to spare more than a passing remark and treated each word as if it were more valuable than gold — would become this way.

　　Although Huo Rongshen might appear very uneasy, beneath her exterior lay a heart that was far from heartless.

　　She was, after all, a human being. In addition to that, being a woman added another layer to her complexity. Compared to men, women were often more attuned and susceptible to their emotions.

　　When she first encountered Scriptwriter Zhao Chuyi, something quite extraordinary happened. She unexpectedly fainted, only to regain consciousness later that evening. When unconscious, she experienced a remarkably vivid dream, one that transported her to an entirely different world and her relationship with Huo Rongshen.

　　As a woman, she possessed an astonishingly keen intuition. For such profound realization to have dawned upon her — Perhaps, all of this was destined to occur.

　　The connection between her and Huo Rongshen was far from coming to an end. It was possible that the events unfolding in this comic might eventually pave the way for answers, or it might even take many more years for her to unravel the mystery.

　　However, one thing remained certain: the bond between her and Huo Rongshen was not about to dissolve so easily. So, despite her lack of mental preparedness for everything that transpired tonight, the signs of their enduring connection were undeniably strong.

　　It was just that she had yet to figure out how to deal with it.

　　As the evening rush hour had already passed, the road now lay bare and free from traffic jams.

　　Driving in this serene environment, Jiang Dai found herself able to think with a clear and composed mind. 

　　Her decision to depart was influenced by her desire to prevent things from escalating any further when both of them were teetering on the edge of losing control.

　　When she first fell for Huo Rongshen, youth fueled her impulsive and daring nature. Despite their limited understanding of each other and the lack of concrete plans for their future, a myriad of experiences had already occurred.

　　Before long, they had explored all the activities couples could engage in together.

　　Now that this was the second time, she wanted to take things slow.

　　After all, seeking answers from her relationship with this man based solely on impulsive and fleeting desires was simply impossible. On top of that, neither she nor Huo Rongshen was inclined towards such superficiality.

　　If their aim was a lasting relationship, it was crucial to keep the potentially disruptive elements of sensuality at bay.

　　That was why she really wanted to take things slow this time.

……

　　Regardless of how rational Jiang Dai could be, she was not that stony-hearted.

　　While waiting for the green light, she sent a voice message to Huo Rongshen. “Make sure to get some rest after taking your meds. If you can’t sleep, try having a light snack, a warm bowl of porridge, or something. You’ll find that you’ll be able to fall asleep easily with a full stomach. I mean what I said when I promised to visit you again tomorrow night, so I’ll definitely be there.”

　　After obtaining her promise, Huo Rongshen ceased his attempts to fish for sympathy. “In that case, I’ll retire for the night. So you must visit tomorrow!”

　　Once more, Jiang Dai responded, “Of course. Now, go get some sleep.”

　　After setting aside her phone, an irrepressible urge to chuckle overcame her. Why did it feel as if she were coaxing a child since Huo Rongshen was…… six years older than her?

　　The sleek supercar made a turn as its sleek form swiftly brought her within striking distance of Nangang Palace’s grand entrance. So consumed was she by the flurry of thoughts from the recent incident that as the car glided past the entrance, an unmistakably familiar tall figure beneath a tree barely registered in her mind. Hence, her foot continued to press on the accelerator, propelling the car forward.

　　After driving for a short distance, it suddenly dawned on her that a figure was standing under the tree near the gate. Was that…… really Liang Jingche?

　　His parked car sat nearby, but it seemed he had already turned off the engine.

　　Meanwhile, he stood beneath the tree, seemingly indulging in a smoke.

　　Jiang Dai’s senses tingled with an unsettling feeling, compelling her to pull the car over abruptly. With calculated intent, she left the car key atop the vehicle’s front hood, confident that any passing security guard would notice and drive it to the garage on her behalf.

　　With increased urgency, she hastened her steps as she exited the gate. At this juncture, she was determined to check whether the man waiting at her doorstep was indeed Liang Jingche.

　　As expected, the man was still in the same stance as moments before, puffing cigarette smoke. 

　　Sensing something was amiss, Jiang Dai figured something must have occurred, so she approached him hastily. “Jingche, why are you standing by the gate?”

　　Meeting her gaze, Liang Jingche promptly stubbed out his cigarette. He seemed to have wanted to greet her with a smile, yet something within him resisted. As such, it left his expression strained and lacking its usual sincerity.

　　With the aura that seemed to have enveloped him, Liang Jingche’s exquisitely handsome face now carried a hint of indifference, rendering him less approachable than usual.

　　Drawing closer to Jiang Dai, he addressed her in his usual composed tone, “I’ve seen the news. Given the gravity of the situation, you have to prioritize your safety and hire some professional bodyguards from now on. While you do have existing security personnel, prolonged service might inadvertently lead to complacency. So, a new team would be a wiser choice.”

　　Upon hearing that, Jiang Dai found what he said made a lot of sense. The role of a bodyguard demanded consistent training and adaptability since their services were seldom called upon during actual emergencies. Instead, it was equivalent to getting soldiers primed for that single critical moment, and any inclination toward complacency must be rigorously discouraged.

　　Liang Jingche was always known for his meticulous approach to matters, so she often sought his counsel over the past two years.

　　“Alright, I’ll make the necessary arrangements to recruit some newbies within the next two days.”
