C182 She Woke up I Married Her

"Yichen, the royal family is not someone we can afford to offend. No matter how powerful you are, you still need to stabilize your power overseas. Although we can't rely on them, at least we can't offend them. At that time, not many people knew about your relationship with Catherine. But for so many years, you have been alone and you have been guarding her every month. No matter if it was because you felt guilty or because of the marriage, this habit is deeply rooted in the eyes of the royal family. " As Frank spoke, his tone carried a trace of helplessness and melancholy.

"We haven't been friends for a day or two. There's no need for you to hide it from me. Since you were able to arrive early on Pei Luoluo's matter today, I knew that you had received the news earlier, right? Yichen, don't overturn Pei Luoluo's relationship with you just because of the child in her womb. What you have to remember is your original intention! Catherine may not be your ideal partner in the future, but she is the most suitable for you. Didn't you say the same thing back then?"

Frank's words lingered in the entire study. Xiao Yichen looked up at him. His expression was solemn, and the words between his eyebrows twisted together. "Frank, Pei Luoluo's pregnancy is my responsibility. Losing a child is my responsibility. It is also my responsibility to make her lie in a pool of blood and almost lose her life. It is my responsibility to put her in danger. I cannot bear another life and another catastrophe. Actually, what she wants is very simple. It is nothing more than for me to treat her better. If this is what she wants, I can compensate her."

"What about Catherine?" Frank put his hands together and looked at Xiao Yichen. There was love in his eyes that he could understand at a glance.

"Frank, I cannot make up for what I owe Catherine. I have been trapped in there all these years. I once really thought that if she wakes up, as long as she is willing, I can marry her."

Xiao Yichen concentrated on the handsome brow. His tone was somewhat helpless. If it was not for Pei Luoluo's appearance, he disturbed his life time and time again, breaking his peace. The waves of ripples that had invaded the depths of his heart refused to leave. Perhaps... They would all be different.

He admitted that at the beginning, he really couldn't accept Pei Luoluo forcing her way in. He also admitted that he actually did not really hate her. It was just that his grandfather's sudden arrangement did not take into account his thoughts at all. He asked for his opinion and even threatened him.

He had always hated Xiao Yichen whose fate had been arranged. He hated the feeling of his entire life being drawn into someone else's plan. It made him put such feelings in his heart. He forced it on Pei Luoluo, so his dislike for her swallowed up his original feelings. In his opinion, the promise he made when he was a child was only made because of his grandfather. It had nothing to do with his heart.

But now, Pei Luoluo had been waiting for him for more than ten years. It was actually just a clue that could catch his route back to the country. He stopped his car and ran away in a panic the next day, but he did not let it go.

In the face of his bribery and threatening marriage, Pei Luoluo agreed without asking anything.

If it was someone else, Xiao Yichen might think that it was because of his fame and fortune. Power, money, and his devilishly skilled appearance that made people jealous. All of these were the best conditions to tempt him. He had to admit that he had indeed thought the same way back then.

But later on, Pei Luoluo did not develop according to his expectations. She did not stick to him and did not ask him to do anything because of the identity he gave her. She just quietly did her own thing. If he said that she had a request... It was what he promised Pei Luoluo before they got married that he would ask her to recover all the debts that she owed her.

"Xiao Yichen, don't forget what you promised me."

"I want them to pay with blood! I want them to pay me back what I owe them for ten years!"

This was the only vicious words Pei Luoluo had said to him, but Xiao Yichen could not remember that she had said it to him under those circumstances. He only remembered that she had said it to him.

"Frank, Pei Luoluo looks simple, but there are always thoughts in her head that you can't figure out. And the stubbornness and persistence that I cannot consider. Only if she is willing to let go of me completely will she be free from me. Before that, none of us can completely let go of each other. You know my grandfather's temper. In the past, I only agreed to this marriage because I was angry and wanted to take over the Xiao's. Now that the old man is old, I don't want to anger him. Unless Pei Luoluo is willing to let go, or... Catherine is awake. " At the end of his sentence, Xiao Yichen had already dragged his words out for a long time. It was as if he was finding the most appropriate excuse for himself. It was also as if he was certain that Catherine would not wake up, or that the last one would not work.

Then Xiao Yichen realized that he did not want Catherine to wake up in his heart. In the past, he had wanted to marry her even if it meant gambling on marriage, but now he wanted her to continue sleeping like this.

As for the reason, Xiao Yichen did not want to admit it, nor did he give the chance to admit it.

Frank had been quietly listening to Xiao Yichen's self-explanation. The excuse he had found for himself was so obvious to Frank. He did not know if Xiao Yichen, who was among them, was as clear as him, an outsider.

"Alright, I guess Ai Lun is very angry today." Obviously, Frank did not want to force Xiao Yichen too much. He changed the topic easily. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yichen frowned even more deeply.

"Angry? He even threatened me! I already said that I will return tomorrow. There is an urgent matter at home. Guess what he said?" Xiao Yichen sneered and lit up the extinguished cigar again. He took a puff of smoke and watched as it slowly dissipated.

"They said I should stay by Catherine's side. They said I should stay as long as they want. Otherwise, we will stop our cooperation on the western side of Washington. Hmph. I was willing in the past, but now I'm being oppressed. These self-righteous people always don't know their priorities. It's ridiculous and ridiculous."

After saying that, Xiao Yichen slightly curled his lips. There was a bitter smile on his face, as if he was angry and mocking him for showing weakness in the past.

"I have to admit that during the period of studying abroad, you and Catherine were the most eye-catching pair outside the school. They had never changed. If it wasn't for the car accident, perhaps you would have taken it for granted..." Frank suddenly lowered his pale blue eyes, and a sorrowful expression flashed across his eyes. His tone seemed to be a little disappointed.

Xiao Yichen patted him on the shoulder. He wanted to comfort him, but he found that whatever he said seemed unnecessary. Sometimes, a person's sadness did not need to be comforted, but it needed to be understood and given time.

When he thought of the time when the three of them were together, Frank was always the one who was ignored. Moreover, he was the one who knew that it was unnecessary but did not leave.

As for the reason, he would understand it even if he used a little bit of his brain.
