Chapter 5: Hugging You to Sleep

This was not her original ring!
Su Wan immediately put on the ring. In terms of value and looks, this ring was definitely better.
But it was meaningless to Su Wan.
She lay on the bed with the lights on and closed her eyes. At this moment, red dots had started to appear on her body.
Serious allergies could lead to shortness of breath and even death.
Maybe she ate a lot. Maybe she ate very little. But she didn’t care anymore. She just wanted a good night’s sleep and a break.
This marriage had given her too much without warning.
He’d taken more from her before they’d parted. Without warning.
This was the trouble caused by her greed back then. She only had herself to blame!
She had to endure it!
Back then, she had calmly accepted all of this. Now, she could also accept it calmly.
Despite the continuous brainwashing, she was still not sleepy at all. Just as she picked up her phone to take a look, a call came in.
It was Jing Chen.
Was he going to call her while accompanying Bai Lian?
Wasn’t this spoiling the mood?
Although she was puzzled, Su Wan did not hesitate at all. Anyway, she was not the one whose mood got spoiled, so why should she care so much?
“Jing Chen is drunk. Bring him home. He won’t listen to me.”
Su Wan was silent for a moment before she said helplessly, “He won’t listen to me either. Since he’s drunk, just forcefully bring him back.”
“No, come quickly! I’ll text you the address. I’m not clear-headed anymore. I’m afraid that I’ll spout nonsense to you later. I’m hanging up.”
Xu Chen hung up cleanly.
Su Wan was helpless.
She forced herself to sit up. She was inexplicably angry, but she still went in the end. So what if she was angry?
Whoever fell in love more would have to accommodate more. What requited love was this? It’s merely just her wishful thinking.
Xu Chen was Jing Chen’s good friend for many years.
Su Wan had known him since they got married.
By the time Su Wan arrived, Jing Chen was sprawled on the sofa in a drunken stupor. His head was lowered and he was mumbling something under his breath. It was unclear what he was saying, but he still looked honest.
When Xu Chen saw her, he urged impatiently, “Take care of your man. How could you find me for such a thing?”
Su Wan didn’t know what was going on, but she didn’t say anything. She went to Jing Chen’s side, hugged his shoulders, and propped him up. She didn’t use much strength and Jing Chen was unexpectedly cooperative. When he just got up, he even took the opportunity to put his arms around her and didn’t move.
The weight on her body became heavier…
Xu Chen scratched his head and looked at Su Wan with gritted teeth. His tone was still unfriendly. “Don’t you care about him at all?”
She felt aggrieved being questioned like this, Su Wan said absurdly, “Does he still need my concern for him when he’s having a candlelit dinner with another woman?”
“Why didn’t you stop him when you knew he was looking for another woman?”
Xu Chen noticed that Su Wan’s emotions were fluctuating and her momentum disappeared.
“We’re about to end it, I don’t have the right to stop him,” Su Wan said expressionlessly without any emotions.
Xu Chen was stunned.
He stood there awkwardly.
Su Wan raised her head and looked at him with a firm gaze. “And watch your words. It’s his problem that he’s looking for a woman. Whether I stop him or not, it’s not my fault. He’s the one in the wrong. However, if you know the inside story, you’ll understand that this isn’t his fault either. If you don’t know, then don’t assume.”
With that, she dragged Jing Chen out of the room. Fortunately, he was not drunk enough to fall unconscious.
Otherwise, as a woman, she really could not handle it.
Xu Chen rushed forward and took over Jing Chen. “Actually, I think the two of you are more compatible. Just try harder.”
Su Wan smiled without saying anything.
When she got home, she cleaned him up and changed his clothes before letting him go to bed.
Xu Chen’s words rang in her ears. She was obsessed with love, but she was not stupid. If people could be with who they liked by trying harder, then everyone would be happy.
This wasn’t trying harder.
This was pointless struggling.
She still could not fall asleep, especially when there was another person beside her. In the past, it was very natural for them to sleep together. Now, she only felt uneasy.
Jing Chen was even more disobedient. He tossed and turned, and soon, the blanket was pulled away.
Su Wan paused, too lazy to snatch the blanket away. She curled up and hugged herself.
The smell of alcohol continued to spread in the air. Jing Chen panted heavily as he moved closer to her. One of his arms reached out and easily pulled her petite body under him. His muffled voice came from her neck.
“Mm… I want to hug you to sleep. It feels so good.”
Su Wan froze.
“Your body is simply amazing. I love it so much…”
He was…
