Chapter 3: Awkward Situation

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Chen Lan thought about the various plot developments in the book, making her feel even more frustrated. The original character had managed to offend everyone possible.

And she had just arrived in this world, only to end up sleeping with this man who seemed to despise her. No wonder Tang Ye’s face was as black as charcoal now. It was all thanks to his tolerance and composure that he could restrain himself from throwing her out.

Currently, she found herself in a situation where she was surrounded by enemies, and it was incredibly awkward.

“Well, I…”

Chen Lan attempted to say something to ease the awkward atmosphere. However, she was also afraid of saying the wrong thing, and considering Tang Ye’s muscular arms, if he decided to hit her, she might not survive it.

Seeing Chen Lan’s troubled expression, Tang Ye turned away from her and sat down on a chair by the bed, his back facing her. “Don’t even think about getting a divorce. I promised Uncle Army, and I won’t divorce you.”

“?”

She stared at Tang Ye’s back in confusion. When did she ever mention divorce?

After a moment of contemplation, she realized that Tang Ye had probably misunderstood. The original character’s affection for Liang Chen wasn’t a secret, and Tang Ye knew about it too. This was likely why he thought she wanted a divorce.

Chen Lan lowered her head, looking at her own hands in deep thought. She hadn’t experienced romantic relationships before, but she didn’t hate Tang Ye. She had a favorable impression of this young and talented man.

Moreover, this marriage was arranged by the army, and her father held the authority there. She didn’t want to defy her parents like the original character had.

So, regardless of the reason, she would accept this marriage.

Having figured things out, she exhaled and rubbed herself against the bed. She scooted closer to the edge of the bed and gently wrapped her arms around Tang Ye from behind. “I didn’t intend to divorce you.”

Tang Ye’s body stiffened, and he looked surprised at the delicate hand around his waist.

“I realized my feelings yesterday when we got married. I no longer have feelings for Liang Chen. I was so foolish to have sacrificed so much for someone I didn’t even like,” Chen Lan confessed, her face nestled against his back as she spoke calmly.

“Tang Ye, we are already married, and I am your wife now. Although I can’t promise you how deep my feelings are for you now, believe me, last night I realized that I do have feelings for you.”

“You don’t have to lie to me,” Tang Ye didn’t believe her words. This woman had a long history of deceiving him. He still remembered when she had cried claiming that she was bullied, and tricked him into a sports equipment room, locking him in there overnight.

Chen Lan was aware of the original character’s notorious bad deeds, and she didn’t expect to gain his trust with a few words. She knew that time would prove her sincerity.

“I’m telling the truth. You are handsome, and you have a bright future ahead of you, much better than Liang Chen. I know I’ve done a lot of wrong things in the past, and it’s normal for you not to believe me. However, I will prove it to you through my actions.”

Her voice was muffled, and it weighed heavily on his heart as well.

He looked at the hand still on his waist and felt the warmth of her breath against his back. He had an urge to turn around and embrace her, but he suppressed himself. Instead, he gently pried her hands away and said, “Get up and eat.”

With that, he turned and walked out.

Chen Lan watched his retreating figure and shrugged her shoulders, and although she felt a bit defeated, she knew that this matter couldn’t be rushed. After all, it had been more than a decade of impressions, and such feelings couldn’t change overnight.

She got dressed and, upon leaving the room, saw Tang Ye already sitting at the dining table.

She sat down at the table, picked up her bowl and chopsticks, and curiously surveyed the room.

This house was located in a military family compound, with a two-bedroom with a living room, approximately 80 square meters. Although it looked a bit old, it was tidy and well-kept. However, apart from the red character for ‘happiness’ on the door, there was no indication that this was a newlywed’s home.

The interior of the house was quite empty, and apart from the dining table and chairs, there was hardly any significant furniture to be seen.

Logically, Tang Ye, as a battalion commander, received a decent monthly allowance, and she came from an affluent family and was the apple of their eye. It was hard to believe that their marital home would be so sparsely furnished.

“Tang Ye, did we not buy any furniture for our marriage?” She swallowed her mouthful of porridge and asked him with a serious look.

Tang Ye glanced at her upon hearing her question, and his expression seemed to say, ‘Are you asking me?’

Chen Lan, being a diligent observer and understanding the importance of reading people’s expressions, quickly lowered her head and focused on eating, while simultaneously trying to recall the original character’s memories.

However, due to the constraints of the plot, her memory only provided a general overview of the storyline’s major developments, and details such as why the vicious supporting female character didn’t buy furniture when she got married were not explained at all.
